2013: Millions Wrongly Treated for ‘Cancer,’ National Cancer Institute Panel Confirms

Source: Green Med Info If you have been following our advocacy work on cancer, particularly in connection with the dark side of breast cancer awareness month, you know that we have been calling for the complete reclassification of some types of ‘breast cancer’ as benign lesions, e.g. ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS), as well as pointing out repeatedly that x-ray based breast screenings are not only highly carcinogenic but are also causing an epidemic of “overdiagnosis” and “overtreatment” in US women, with an estimated 1.3 million cases in the past 30 years alone. This week, a National Cancer Institute commissioned panel’s report published in JAMA online confirmed that we all – public and professionals alike – should stop calling low-risk lesions like DCIS and high-grade prostatic intraepithelial neoplasia (HGPIN) ‘cancer.’ There are wide-reaching implications to this recommendation, […] Read More

Do your pets get more attention than your partner?: Love lessons from pets

If you’re like me, there are days when your “to do” list seems endless. This morning as I read through the list of things that absolutely had to get done today, one of my four cats jumped in my lap and began to purr vigorously. I petted him for minute or so while multi-tasking with the other hand, then explained, “I have to get some things done.” He didn’t budge. He didn’t care. He stayed put. That’s when I got the message: “Put me on your ‘to do’ list!” Simple as that, he lovingly looked at me and implied the question, “Where is ‘time for love’ on your list?” When I get home from running errands, my dog comes running from wherever he may have […] Read More

Karma: The Yoga of Action in an Unjust World

If you practice yoga, you’ve encountered the word karma at some point—in class, in the yoga texts, or perhaps on the label of a fancy bottle of water. It’s a simple concept: if you plug someone’s meter for them during the day, something nice will happen to you at some point. It’s a cosmic system of checks and balances, rewarding you for good deeds and punishing you for bad. If someone plugs your meter later in the day, congratulations! You’ve experienced Instant Karma: an immediate return on cosmic investment. Which isn’t, of course, the original Hindu meaning of the word. Karma in Sanskrit means “action,” and the theory goes that the actions you take in this life will impact your next birth— which caste you […] Read More

EPA Unions Call for Nationwide Moratorium on Fluoridation, Congressional Hearing on Adverse Effects, Youth Cancer Cover Up

http://i-newswire.com/pr43887.html Eleven EPA employee unions representing over 7000 environmental and public health professionals of the Civil Service have called for a moratorium on drinking water fluoridation programs across the country, and have asked EPA management to recognize fluoride as posing a serious risk of causing cancer in people. The unions acted following revelations of an apparent cover-up of evidence from Harvard School of Dental Medicine linking fluoridation with elevated risk of a fatal bone cancer in young boys.

Think you know how to breathe?

Try this simple test: Sit or stand wherever you are and take a deep breath. Then let it out. What expanded more as you inhaled, your chest or your belly? If the answer is your chest, you’re a “chest breather,” and like most people you’re doing it all wrong. You may also be putting your health in jeopardy. The technique is so powerful that physician James Gordon teaches it to nearly every patient he sees, from people with advanced cancer to those crippled by arthritis to schoolchildren struggling with attention deficit disorder. He’s taught it to refugees in war-torn Kosovo, to anxiety-plagued medical students at Georgetown University and to hundreds of health professionals who have attended his workshops on mind-body-spirit medicine. “Slow, deep breathing is probably the single best anti-stress medicine […] Read More

What to Do About SARS and Rampant Infections

My friends in Asia asked me what they can do about SARS, and here’s the advice I gave them. The only reason I’m qualified to write about this is because I have a degree in nutrition, know Chinese medicine and western herbs, and because I have been researching and writing a book called Antibiotic (and Antiviral) Alternatives for Doctors and Their Patients. When I was in nutrition school several years ago and told my classmates I wanted to write this book as a national public service even though I didn’t expect it to make money. I wanted to do it anyway because I said that antibiotics would soon lose most of their effectiveness and therefore to have this book was a national security issue. Naturally […] Read More

Why Cherry Juice Works:

According to ongoing research, daily consumption of Cherry Juice reduces the pain and inflammation associated with arthritis.

Vibrational Healing – Harmonising

Diagram of the position of the Major Chakras and their affiliation to particular colors and crystals. by Rosemary Angelis The premise of Vibrational Healing is that everything vibrates on a certain frequency. All objects, even wooden tables, are made up of molecules which vibrate to create their mass. Colour is also simply a vibration of light refracted in different ways. Sound is a vibration that travels through the air in waves. Crystals have been monitored and shown to give off vibrations and create a pulse which can be used in clocks and electrical equipment. The concept of harmonising through vibrations is simple. A human being is made up of many levels. His/her physical shell is only one layer of his complete make-up. His/her emotions and spirituality are contained in layers which are many-fold throughout his /her energy-field or “aura”; Kirlian Photography […] Read More

2013: The Nature of Thought Energy

by Dr. Jeffry R. Palmer Ph.D. Your thoughts are the currencies with which you exchange energy with the universe Do you believe that your thoughts have energy? Do you believe that a place or an object can retain the energy of the people that have come into contact with it? If you have ever entered an old home and sensed the presence of its previous occupants, or held an antique item in your hands and felt the history of it, then you know the answers. Scientists are just beginning to accept the truth about thought energy, and have begun to study what many have known for centuries. In fact some of today’s leading scientists in areas of physics, biology, psychology and many other fields are […] Read More
