Defensives

We all have them...but most people get defensive when they are taken out of their comfort zone.

I was told that I should not talk about things that I am uneducated about. Yet that person had ABSOLUTELY NO EDUCATION HERSELF ON THE TOPIC!! I was told not to share my opinion...mainly because it was different from the norm. I find it so sad that people cannot discuss issues with educated thoughts. In fact, the answer most people give when in the heat of the talk??? "Well my doctor says.....or I have friends that are health care practitioners and they say.....or my favorite one, the government (CDC) says it is okay.......HAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHA
Really??? That is how you are basing you decisions????
Not once do these people say "I studied this..so that is why I feel this way". They all take the word of someone else. Yet they remain sick, with one illness or another and don't know why.
DUH!! Try stepping away from the herd, and stop being a sheep!!! Educate yourself on things you don't know about. Don't take my word for it, or your doctors, or especially not the governments!!! Get informed! Look to see why the other side feels a certain why...perhaps they have some bases for their opinions???? If conventional/Western methods are so great and wonderful why is EVERY illness and disease increasing in population EVERY year. And at a fast rate.

The maturity levels that people display is amazing. It seems their composure and intelligence get thrown out the window as soon as they are forced to step outside of the box...and instead enters the 15yr old high-schooler...with nothing but yelling and insults. So so sad...
As they say, ignorance is bliss....

H1N1

I am really amazed at the Media/Big-Pharma's job on this H1N1 issue. They have really done a good job. They have peaked everyone's interest, and used their typical scare tactics.

Here are some little known FACTS:

What is inside the regular flu vaccine;

*Egg proteins, including avian contaminant viruses
*Gelatin, known to cause allergic reactions & anaphylaxis are usually associated with sensitivity to egg or gelatin
*Polysorbate 80 (Tween80™), which can cause severe allergic reactions, including anaphylaxis
*Formaldehyde: a known carcinogen
*Triton X100: a strong detergent
*Sucrose (table sugar)
*Resin, known to cause allergic reactions
*Gentamycin, an antibiotic
*Thimerosal: mercury is still in multidose vials


Did you know:


*Doctor visits for flu are down from the level in April

*Total flu hospitalizations are similar or lower than for seasonal flu (yearly flu)

*The number of death secondary to flu and pneumonia is unchanged from yearly rate

*Only two states are reporting widespread infections -- Georgia and Alaska. Other states report only regional or sporadic activity, meaning it’s not very contagious.

*There is no evidence that the virus has mutated at all anywhere in the world

*The virus remains susceptible to the drugs Tamiflu and Relenza.

*Only 43,771 cases have been reported in the United States. Because of poor reporting, the CDC estimates that true numbers indicate that one million have been infected. Many people did not get sick enough to go to a doctor. Likewise, not all people are tested who go to a doctor.
Of these 5,011 have been hospitalized and 302 have died.

Death Rates From the H1N1 Flu
*If we use the 43,771 figure and 302 deaths that means the death rate is 0.6 percent, an extremely low death rate for any flu.
*The percentage of hospitalized patients who died was 6 percent, again a very low incidence of death.
*Since the CDC estimates that one million have been infected, we must recalculate death rates. Using this more accurate figure, the death rate is in truth 0.03 percent, which means 99.97percent will not die from this flu. Your chances of dying are incredibly low.

Let me add that the .03 percent that have died from the H1N1 have an immune suppressing disorder or chronic illness, or other health issue.

What are the Virologists Saying?
Virologists are scientists who study viruses -- their classification, their genetics, methods of spread and their ability to cause disease. No one knows more about this virus than the virologists.
The British science magazine, The New Scientist, recently polled 60 virologists to get their opinion. These are the results of specific questions:

Will the virulent version of the virus appear?
Extremely likely-----------------none
Likely----------------------------5
A 50/50 chance----------------- 14
Possible-------------------------- 38
Not at all--------------------------3

What the virologists are doing personally
Stock Tamiflu or Relinza-----------------14
Stock above plus antibiotics------------- 6
Stock food, water and power source----5
Get pneumococcal vaccine---------------3
Nothing------------------------------------ 30
Hand washing, mask, etc--------------- 3

Notice there was no mention of taking the swine flu vaccine.

Behind the push to vaccinate the entire population are the pharmaceutical makers of the vaccines, who are working in conjunction with the government to make the vaccine mandatory.
Homeland security and FEMA are pushing for forced vaccinations and the medical experts, virologists and epidemiologists are calling for calm and resorting to voluntary vaccination only. The former have links with the vaccine manufacturers via political contacts. A great deal of money will be made by the manufacturers, should forced vaccinations be mandated.

In addition this vaccine is not being tested the way it is suppose to be tested!
This will result in a repeat of the 1976 Swine Flu disaster. More people were paralyzed with Guillain Barre disorder or died then there were actual deaths from the swine flu....

It is also important to appreciate that this vaccine has been fast-tracked, meaning that many of the usual safety precautions used to prevent contamination of the vaccines will be overlooked by the regulatory agencies.
According to a number of studies, vaccine contamination is widespread, with vaccines containing pestivirus, mycoplasma, viral fragments, DNA fragments and bacterial components, all of which can produce chronic systemic disorders, cancer, neurologic diseases and even slow brain degeneration.

A lot of this information is from Dr. Russell Blaylock and Dr. Mercola...

SOOOO what should you do???

PREVENTION PREVENTION PREVENTION

It is recommended:
*Vitamin C 2000mg daily
*Vitamin D 2000mg daily
*Oscilliococcinum homeopathic remedy for flu (take one dose a week for prevention, full dose if you think you are coming down with the flu)

*Stay away from large amounts of dairy and sugar
Basic hand washing
Sleep!
Echinacea
Garlic

It is helpful to keep all this in your home from October to February...

GOOD LUCK! AND DON"T GET THAT BLASTED VACCINE!

Kids say the darnest things!

So my dear "angel" Hannah put me in a bit of a embarrassing moment twice this week over her comments about other people...out loud...in ear shot of those people....

Moment #1 Walking at the mall behind a couple of women. One of the women had a particularly um..well...quite large behind. In case I did not see it, Hannah was sure to point it out to me...out loud. "Mom, why is that lady's butt so big and fat." Ugh......I know the woman heard her...and I cowardly snuck in the first store we past....unfortunately it was the disgusting store Acbercrombie...I still have a headache from that.

Moment #2 Walking through Target and we pass a man who was quite large. Hannah who normally goes on warp speed through stores, ssssllllloooooowwwwwssss down as she passes him and says "Mom, why is that man so fat". Ahhhhhhh...okay quickly down the next aisle I go...though it was the pet aisle, and I don't have pets. Unless of course you count my children, which on many days I do. I do have Charles and Oliver, our Caterpillars who are now in their cocoons, but I don't think that counts either.

So I hushed her and said don't say those things. They hurt people's feelings...and I am quite sure that both the woman with the large derriere, and the man who looked like...well...fat...already know of their physical issues.

But kids are curious and they always state the obvious. I myself have been victim to her true remarks. Mom, why do you have bumps all over your belly and butt. Ahhh...thank you for pointing out my cellulite and stretch marks...I almost forgot about them.
And it isn't like she is making up stories or telling lies...these "statements" of hers are true...no matter how much I cringe when I hear her say those things.

So I guess for now I hope that she keeps her thoughts to herself or at least at a whisper...but until then, I suppose I better get creative with the aisles or stores I suddenly feel the need to enter.

Feeling Tipsy??

Can someone please explain tipping to me?? I mean I guess I understand tipping a waitress or waiter...perhaps even my stylist or the lady who does my nails; I believe those people make little to nothing so they rely on tips...which is fine because it makes them do their job well, or not get a tip, but where does it end??
I had my couches cleaned a few weeks ago and was getting a check ready to leave with my husband so he can pay them. I then said, "crap, I don't have enough cash to tip them" and in turn he looked at me and asked why in the heck we had to tip them. Good point. Why do I have to tip them?? Don't they get paid to do that?
Why do certain professions expect a tip and others don't??
How about we start tipping our teachers? If you educate my son/daughter and get him enthused with learning...here's a tip.
Or our doctors?? Hey you found that weird looking mole before I did...here's a tip.

Why do places like Starbucks (sorry Rachel) have little jars on the counter looking for tips?? Don't you get paid to make my Cafe Mocha (no whipped cream please). And if the pay sucks, isn't that suppose to motivate you to educate yourself and get a job where you aren't making mochachocafrappmachiato's??
I saw a tip jar at Subway!! What??? I came in there to buy a sandwich (actually I hate Subway, I was just buying a gift card for someone...but anywho) and now I have to give you more money to say, gee, thanks for making me a sandwich??
I was helping a friend move and we were following the moving truck to her new home, she said that she needed to stop by the bank to get cash so she can tip the movers. Why I asked? She responded with a "To thank them for doing a good job and not damaging anything"...WHAT?? but isn't that what they are suppose to do?????? Are they "don't always get the job done movers" or "will do a great job as long as we get a tip movers"???
How come I don't get a tip??? I am helping you with your health...and if I make you feel better, shouldn't I get an little somethin-somethin?? I mean I know you already paid me for the treatment, but really that was clearly just a "base-pay", now I need more.

Here's a tip....don't 'tip!

Stop the pink fest....

Okay I will warn you now readers....this may hit a nerve for a few of you and may even piss you off but I write what I feel.
Lately I've been getting a few requests to be part of some sort of fundraiser/walk/cryfest for breast cancer. I want no part of it!!!
Let me begin by saying NO ONE deserves to go through the pain, suffering, anxiety, fright, etc, of cancer or other diseases. My feelings in no way minimize what those people are going through, nor does it mean that those who participate in these fundraisers/walks are wasting their time...but............
Do you really think that by taking a walk for a few miles and wearing pink is going to all of a sudden "beat" the cancer?????? That your $1000 or whatever amount donation is going to all off a sudden motivate scientists to "find" the cure????
Let's start there...
Do you really think we don't have a "cure" for cancer?? Of all the brilliant minds in the last, oh say 25 yrs, no one has found anything to deal with this issue? Think about it people....think of the trillions, not millions, but trillions, that the United States would lose if there was to be a "cure". The million dollar machines, scanners, speciality clinics, doctors, and please let us not forget the pharmaceuticals. These would all be gone...along with the profits.

This whole "together we can find a cure"....really?? Let's me use a metaphor that may seem silly but let's go for it....
We are all over at someones home. Suddenly I realize that I lost my keys....hmmm....let me look on the couch that I am sitting on...nope don't see it....a friend comes by, "hey, what is the matter.....oh I lost my keys....gee, let me help you look for them" So now we are both looking on the couch. After a few minutes go by...a few more friends come over...."what's the matter?....oh we are looking for some keys........we'll all help....." Now I have twenty people looking for my keys on the couch. Yet no luck.....ALL OF A SUDDEN....some brilliant voice says..."hey, maybe you lost it somewhere else...maybe the keys are not on the couch....." So we all look elsewhere and in five minutes we find the keys in a different room, and no where near the couch.

Okay so did that make sense??? I guess my point is, if for the last 25 plus years, we are donating money to research drugs for a cure for cancer, perhaps we should be doing the research somewhere else?? Perhaps the answer is not a pharmaceutical??? Perhaps the answer is in a different room and not on the couch. All that money you raised is just bringing more people to look at the couch.

This is not to say that pharmaceuticals/surgeries/chemotherapy's don't have a place in our conventional way of thinking towards cancer, but perhaps if their is still no "cure" even when we have these "great" things, perhaps we should look at more unconventional ways??
Did you know that when a cancer or "sick" cell is exposed to full oxygen, it either reverts back to a healthy cell or the cancer disappears???? How come we never hear about that?? How come that money can't go to oxygen research??

If a group of people want to get together and go for a walk and wear pink boa's, well, go ahead...have a blast....but please please please....don't be under the notion that you are making a difference....because you aren't. You are supporting yourself, a family member, a friend etc....but you are not changing the outlook of the disease.
This is the same for the whole "wear red", and now we have made a difference for women and cardiovascular health....really?? I wear red all the time...I don't think anything has changed.

So please don't bother writing me on how I am heartless...or a bitch or whatever...instead...write to the Susan Komen association or another one of those types and find out where your money is really going...

Tyson Liars!

Tyson Foods, the world's largest meat processor and the second largest chicken producer in the U.S., has admitted that it injects its chickens with antibiotics before they hatch and then labels them as raised without antibiotics.
The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) has told Tyson to stop using the antibiotic-free label, but the company has sued for the right to keep using it.Poultry farmers regularly treat chickens and other birds with antibiotics. But scientists have become increasingly concerned that the routine use of antibiotics in animal agriculture may accelerate the development of antibiotic-resistant bacteria.
After Tyson began labeling its chicken antibiotic-free, the USDA warned the company that such labels were not truthful, because Tyson regularly treats its birds' feed with bacteria-killing ionophores. Tyson argued that ionophores are antimicrobials rather than antibiotics, and are not used on human patients. Tyson suggested a compromise which was eventually accepted by the USDA -- they would use a label reading "raised without antibiotics that impact antibiotic resistance in humans."Tyson's competitors: Perdue Farms Inc., Sanderson Farms Inc. and Foster Farms sued, and in May 2008, a federal judge ruled in their favor and told Tyson to stop using the label. Not long after, USDA inspectors discovered that in addition to using ionophores, Tyson was regularly injecting its chicken eggs with gentamicin, an antibiotic that has been used for more than 30 years.The agency told Tyson that based on the new discovery, it would no longer consider the antibiotic-free label "truthful and accurate." Tyson objected again, claiming that because the antibiotics are injected before the chickens hatched, the birds can truthfully be said to be "raised without antibiotics." Tyson has filed a lawsuit against the USDA, claiming that the agency had improperly changed the definition of "raised without antibiotics" to include the treatment of eggs.

This typical big-business lying is not just Tyson, but also with Splenda (They would dearly like you to believe that this artificial sweetener is natural because it is "made from sugar". But it's nothing but another half-truth meant to convince you of a falsehood, and the Sugar Association has sued them over this marketing strategy.), 7-up, Omega 3 eggs, and farm-raised fish being labeled as organic (Applying the organic label to animal food products raised in food factories is a simple bastardization of the term. It is impossible to obtain all the benefits that were naturally included in these fish once artificial manipulation is introduced into the system.).
Don't let them make suckers out of you!

Alot of this is from Mercola...so check out his page...mercola.com

Vaccine Scam

For quite some time I have known of the IMMENSE side effects of the HPV vaccine Gardasil; effects such as infertility, stroke, and death just to name a few. Did you know that our immune system (in a normal healthy woman) is usually strong enough to clear up this kind of infection on its own, and does so in more than 90 percent of all cases. The CDC even admits to this fact on their website. In fact, most cases of Cervical Cancer are due to not getting regular pap smears/exams. As long as you're getting regular PAP smears, cervical cancer can be caught in its early, and easily treatable, stages...:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" />
So, the question begs to be asked: WHY is the HPV vaccine being pushed so vigorously when:
it prevents a type of cancer that is very rare to begin with
it protects against a virus that, 98 percent of the time, is not the cause of cervical cancer
it prevents a type of cancer that can be easily caught and treated by promoting regular gynecological exams
it offers less protection than what promotion of safe sex practices could accomplish
it is promoted to girls years before becoming sexually active, even though the vaccine may only offer about three years worth of protection
it prevents just 4 out of more than 100 strains of HPV; all of which your body can clear up on its own in 90 percent of all cases anyway
it has NOT been proven safe. No one knows if it can cause cancer or infertility.
And why would the feds go so far as to add Gardasil to the list of vaccinations that all female immigrants ages 11 to 26 MUST get before they can obtain a green card? We're not dealing with potential import of bubonic plague here. Since when do we have to be vaccinated against cancer in order to be let into a country? Cancer is not a contagious disease. According to a New England Journal of Medicine study, the use of condoms reduces the incidence of HPV by 70 percent, offering FAR better protection than Gardasil.
The federal government's Vaccine Adverse Events Reporting System (VAERS) has received over 9,000 reports of problems since the vaccine's introduction in 2006 which include at least 28 spontaneous abortions and 27 deaths. To bring this further, many researchers have found many "coincidences" with the HPV vaccine and a sterility program that W.H.O has been working on for many years, under hush hush circumstances of course. And I'm not just having a conspiracy theory. There have been "vaccination programs" in other countries which later have been found to have hidden sterilization properties. Such as in ..:namespace prefix = u1 />..:namespace prefix = st1 ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:smarttags" />Brazil, the Philippines, Mexico etc… You can check with the British Medical Journal. These are facts.
I think this would be a more appropriate message to send out to young women: There is absolutely no reason to risk the serious side effects of this vaccine to prevent an infection that goes away on its own 90 percent of the time. And there's no guarantee that you'll be protected anyway since you can still get HPV once you've had the vaccine. It's really a no-win situation for those who receive it. Of course, you can radically reduce your risk of getting HPV in the first place if you follow safe-sex practices or wait to have sex until you're in a committed relationship. Then, keep your immune system in tip-top shape and it will be more than able to shake any HPV virus that comes its way.
So don't fall for the "one less" bogus commercials. And make sure to do your research before deciding to give your daughters this BOGUS and potentially harmful vaccine.
It is NOT the government's job to keep us healthy. It is our own. If you look through years of research the government organizations such as WHO have been looking into population control methods for YEARS. Whether it is fluoride (also a sterilizing agent) to mercury, AIDS in hepatitis shots in the 80's, GMO's, countless poisons as food additives etc…these are all little ways that affect our health.
DO YOUR RESEARCH before giving in to the conventional vaccine schedules. We all want to protect our children, but there are reasons why chronic illness (asthma, allergies, etc) are on the rise as well as Autism, and other forms of neurological deficiencies. Pay attention to what you are putting in your children, because in the end those same health care organizations that lead you to believe certain things are right, will not be there to help you when those things go wrong.
It is always about one thing and one thing only. MONEY. It is unfortunate that most MD's cannot get their dicks out of the pharmaceutical money bags long enough to actually think for themselves. So do it for your children and question every thing the doctors want to put into your child.
