CDC whistleblower's secret letter to Gerberding released by Natural News as mainstream media desperately censors explosive story

By: Mike Adams, The Health Ranger
(NaturalNews) The CDC whistleblower who has come forward with proof that the CDC knowingly covered up scientific evidence linking the MMR vaccine to autism has now been revealed as William W. Thompson, PhD. To share this story, use tags #vaccinegate and #EndVaccineViolence

Natural News has acquired a letter from William Thompson to former CDC head Dr. Julie Gerberding, dated February 2nd, 2004. The date of this letter is important because a pivotal Institute of Medicine (IoM) meeting on vaccine safety took place just one week later on February 9th. (See the full letter below.)

In this letter, William Thompson says he will be "presenting the summary of our results from the Metropolitan Atlanta Autism Case-Control Study," and he laments that the data will show MMR vaccines cause an increased risk of autism in youth African-American babies. He explains "I will have to present several problematic results relating to statistical associations between the receipt of MMR vaccine and autism."

He then goes on to implore Dr. Gerberding to respond to questions that had been raised by "Representative David Weldon" regarding the integrity of CDC scientists working in the immunization program. He also explains that the CDC has been covering up the truth about the safety problems the agency's own scientists had documented with vaccines, saying:

I've repeatedly told individuals in the [National Immunization Program Office of Directors] over the last several years that they're doing a very poor job representing immunization safety issues and that we're losing the public relations war.

In response to this letter, the CDC took deliberate action to retroactively alter the outcome of the autism study by arbitrarily eliminating most subjects from the study, thereby shrinking the sample size to a small data set which would not achieve statistical significance. This is a clear and irrefutable case of scientific fraud. This fraud allowed CDC scientists such as Colleen Boyle to testify before Congress that there was "no credible link" between MMR vaccines and autism.

CNN caught blatantly censoring CDC whistleblower story

The mainstream media is pulling out all the stops to try to memory hole this breaking news story. When a citizen journalist posted the facts of the story to a CNN iReport page, CNN quickly removed it to prevent the public from learning the truth about this extraordinary moment in medical history.

The story has now been reposted at another CNN iReport page which will no doubt be censored and removed by CNN very quickly as well. But here's the screen shot of what this page showed at the time of this writing:



All other mainstream media news sources, including the New York Times, Washington Post, USA Today, etc., have been ordered to deliberately censor this story, just as Natural News reported last week. There is a desperate attempt under way right now to silence the CDC whistleblower and sweep this entire story under the rug before it explodes beyond the control of the corporate-run media.

What the truth-telling media has to say about the massive media cover-up

Here's some of the independent reporting on what's taking place right now:

From TruthBarrier.com:

CNN is now overtly complicit in the mainstream media blackout of the developing story of CDC whistleblower Dr. William Thompson, who stepped forward and revealed that he had partaken in cooking data attempting to minimize the truth about the toxicity of the MMR vaccine in infants and the increased risk of developing autism.

Yesterday, on CNN's "iReport" page, the story was posted. As of late last night, the article had 45,232 views, 178 comments,( mostly people literally begging CNN and other media to cover it,) and a staggering 17 thousand shares. This clearly is what we call "news worthy."

However, CNN has now deleted the story, claiming it was "flagged" for being "in violation" of iReport's policy. In violation of what? CNN's appeasement policies toward the vaccine industry?

From Jon Rappoport's blog:

CNN: the most trusted name in twisted information.

CNN headquarters are right down the street in Atlanta from the CDC, where the MMR vaccine data were cooked, stepped on, and buried.

I guess it's just too much trouble for a reporter or editor to hop in a cab and go over there and ask a few tough questions.

Well, there are really no questions to ask, are there? CNN and the CDC are the "already asked and answered" dancing twins, who can read each other's minds.

Vaccines? Never met one they didn't love. Adverse effects? Damage? Never heard of such a thing.

From Age of Autism:

The CDC's William Thompson, whistleblower to Brian Hooker on the MMR study and lead author on another on mercury in vaccines, has probably ruined more than a few of his colleagues' August vacations at Hilton Head.

More broadly, these "leaks" in the bulwark of conventional wisdom have been coming for a long time, and not just from people on the inside with information to share.

I'm talking about leaks like all the parents of children on the other side of the elevated-risk stats -- MMR shots at 12 months, illness, regression, autism.

Leaks like parents who saw it with other vaccines, at other times -- parents who were willing to share what happened to try to keep it from happening again.

Leaks like the original Verstraeten study at the CDC that found a high risk of autism for infants who got the most ethyl mercury by the first month of life, as opposed to the least.

Leaks like the CDC coverup of the soaring autism rate in Brick Township, N.J.

Leaks like all the evidence from low-and-no-vaccine populations with low-to-no autism. Leaks like the unwillingness of the public health authorities to even study the issue.

Leaks like the Hannah Poling case, which the government conceded was triggered by autism, but buried by obfuscation. Leaks like the Unanswered Questions study showing autism all over the place in unacknowledged vaccine "court" rulings.

Leaks like the SafeMinds parents identifying autism as a "novel form of mercury poisoning" more than a decade ago.

Leaks like the Merck scientists who came forward to say the company faked data to make its mumps vaccine look effective.

Leaks like the connection between the first cases of autism reported in the medical literature, in 1943, and the families' exposure to the new ethyl mercury vaccines and fungicides.

Leaks like the whole catastrophic half-a-millennium love affair between the medical industry and mercury, one that should have ended long before the autism tidal wave started carrying away America's children.

Leaks like the most obvious one of all -- the explosion of autism and the vaccine schedule at the same time Congress gave the nation's corrupt drug makers a free ride in court, a ride on the backs of America's vaccine-injured children and their stumbling families.

These leaks are becoming a flood, and the flood a tidal wave, just like the autism tidal wave, and the wave is washing away the whole wall of denial built by the same people who just about now are running out of fingers and toes to plug them with.

Health Benefits of Himalayan Crystal Salt & Cures

Health Benefits of Himalayan Crystal Salt & Cures As I wrote in the first article, salt, particularly Himalayan crystal salt is pure, fresh, unpolluted and has no impurities whatsoever. For thousands of years salt was used as a universal remedy. Today, we see return to natural methods of healing and caring for our bodies. Crystal salt can be found in bath salts and skin care products. The salt helps maintain the water content in our bodies and therefore keeps a healthy PH balance in our cells, especially in our brain cells which also slows the aging process. Because of its many minerals, a lot of illnesses and ailments can be cured with Himalayan crystal salt and natural mineral water. Use Himalayan crystal salt in your daily diet but also drink a mix of one teaspoon salt brine and mineral- or spring water every morning on an empty stomach for an easy, inexpensive way to stay healthy and treat many illnesses and minor ailments. The following ailments can effectively be cured with the salt in various forms. 1.    Healthy PH balance 2.    Digestive disorders 3.    Prevention of muscle cramps 4.    Poor vascular health 5.    Headaches 6.    Ear infections 7.    Dental hygiene 8.      Dry cough 9.    Sore throats 10.    Menstrual complaints 11. Chronic respiratory illness 12. Foot fungus 13. Eliminate psoriasis and acne problems 14. Motion sickness 15. Unhealthy Libido 16. Lack of bone strength 17. Abnormal blood sugar. Fights diabetes

1. Unhealthy PH Balance

People who experience unbalanced PH levels are acidic but our body cells need to be slightly alkaline to function properly. To remove the acid, the body is forced to get the necessary minerals, such as calcium, sodium, potassium and magnesium from vital organs and bones to neutralize the acidic condition. In many cases the state of an acidic body goes undetected for years. But this strain causes severe and prolonged damage to the body which manifests itself in the form of kidney disease, allergies, obesity, gastro-intestinal disorders, arthritis, gout, eye disease and premature aging.

Using natural rock salt like Himalayan crystal salt on a regular basis, with its more than 80 minerals can help keep the PH balance or even restore it to the ideal levels again as well as equalizing the fluid intake inside and around the body's cells. At the same time it can assist in removing heavy metals like highly dangerous and toxic lead, mercury, and arsenic.

To keep a healthy Ph balance mix one teaspoon of salt brine (How to make brine or sole appears at the end of the article) with a small glass of purified water or spring water and drink it every morning on an empty stomach. This mixture gives you energy for the whole day.

2. Digestive Disorder

It is well known, that only a certain amount of food can be digested by our intestines. If we overeat or eat improper food our body reacts with disorder or indigestion. Using the right salt can aid the digestion of the food by stimulating the glands that produce digestive juices and are responsible for a healthy digestion. Digestion is not possible without salt. The salivary glands in the mouth start the digestion process. Saliva contains an enzyme that begins to break up the starch in food into smaller molecules.

Himalayan salt stimulates hydrochloric acid and an enzyme in the stomach, coming from the glands in the stomach lining. They digest the protein and also break down the food while stimulating the intestinal tract and liver, which aids the digestive process. Natural crystal salt supports a healthy balance in the body, prevents or even lowers high blood pressure and therefore makes it an indispensable and ideal food addition in everybody’s diet.

To keep a healthy digestion, drink a sole mix every morning before breakfast. 

---

3. Prevention or elimination of muscle cramps

There are several different kinds of muscle cramps. Cramps after an injury, during or after sports or with unaccustomed activities, rest cramps which often occur during the night, dehydration or liver cirrhosis. One cause of muscle cramps could be an imbalance of electrolytes, overuse of the muscle or the body is lacking liquids and minerals. Important minerals are calcium, magnesium, potassium and sodium. Using Himalayan salt brine with more than 80 minerals can help restore the mineral and nutrient levels that charge our body with energy and eliminate cramps. One teaspoon of brine mixed with good mineral or spring water in the morning before eating or drinking anything should show very quick results.

---

4. Poor Vascular Health

Our vascular system is the most important system in our body. It is made of veins and arteries which have to carry oxygen-rich blood throughout the body to the vital organs, the brain and the legs. An increasing buildup of plague in the arteries as we age, leads to clogged veins, which get stiffer and narrower. Depending on your diet, body fat and stress levels, this development can lead to high cholesterol and high blood pleasure and in the worst case to stroke and heart attack. Water retention in the body because of an unhealthy diet such as using toxic table salt can lead to inflammation in the tissue, cellulite, problems walking, foot ulcers, gangrene and even amputation.

It is always better to prevent any of these symptoms but if you already have any of the symptoms above, it is still possible to reverse them. Using natural crystal salt promotes a healthy balance within the body and does not contribute to high blood pressure. A teaspoon of salt brine mixed with mineral water or spring water in the morning on an empty stomach will soon show its effects in a stronger and healthy cardiovascular system and overall good health.

5. Headaches

Headaches can have many different causes. Sleeping disorders or strained eyes caused by computer work or other reasons. There are many remedies on the market of which aspirin is probably one of the most popular. But many have side effects and there are big price differences. One remedy you can always have at home and is very effective is Himalayan salt. The use of crystal salt is an inexpensive and efficient remedy for your headache concerns. Whether the headache is mild or severe doesn’t matter.

Use one teaspoon of salt and mix it with some purified water to make a cold compress. Place the compress on your head and neck or massage the mixture directly into the affected areas. For headaches after intensive exercise and sweating, mix half a teaspoon of salt with some spring water and drink it to re-hydrate and give your body some of the minerals back it had lost through the excessive sweating (especially magnesium and potassium). This will also prevent leg cramps.

---

6. Ear Infection

Ear infections are one of the most common health problems both in children and adults. Ear infections are considered a delicate infection in our body and if untreated and severe enough, can lead to deafness. They are caused by bacterial or viral conditions like a common cold. Pain and inflammation are the most evident symptoms. Other symptoms are ear blockage or temporary hearing loss. Swimmers often experience inflammation of the external ear canal.

To combat viruses and bacteria inside the ear, use salt brine (also called sole) made from Himalayan crystal salt, and use as ear-drops. The inflammation should be gone within a couple of days.

---

7. Dental Hygiene

In ancient times, people used salt as a way to clean and strengthen their teeth and gums and prevent illnesses and infections. In those days, rock salt was the salt used for cooking, cleaning and to keep bad breath, cavities and tartar under control. Today, we should use Himalayan crystal salt because of its many effective healing components. The salt can be used as an alternative to toothpaste or as an additional solution. Potassium, one of the minerals in the salt prevents the gums from bleeding, while calcium together with the other minerals strengthen and whiten teeth.

Use the undiluted sole to brush your teeth to make them whiter and cleaner and to freshen your breath.

---

8. Dry cough

One of the fastest but very effective home remedies to get rid of dry cough is to dissolve one teaspoon of Himalayan Salt in one cup of very warm water. The water should be as warm as you can take it because you have to gargle with it. Gargle with the salt water until the cup is empty. Repeat as often as necessary but try not to drink the water. It is not poisonous but it could cause diarrhea. 

---

9. Sore Throat

Painful throat swelling and difficulty in eating and drinking are indicators that the throat is infected by either virus or bacteria. There is a lot of medicine on the market but one of the best, cheapest and most effective is to treat the infection with sole solution. As we know, Himalayan crystal salt can battle viruses, bacteria and fungi. Mix the salt brine with some warm water and use it for gargling to kill the infection.

---

10. Menstrual Pains

Himalayan crystal salt can help women with premenstrual and menstrual disorders and stomach aches, using a salt sachet and heating it up in warm water or in the microwave. You can also warm the brine solution up and put it the liquid on a small towel. Place it on the stomach or abdomen for thirty minutes to let solution stabilize the body fluids and ease the pressure and stress on the muscles.

---

11. Chronic Respiratory Illness

Chronic respiratory disease such as bronchitis, sinusitis, asthma and allergies can be a heavy burden in everyday life. Regular use of sole steam that is inhaled helps to loosen up blocked up air and nasal passages that lead to the respiratory system. Mix a table spoon of Himalayan crystal salt with approximately 1 ½ liters of hot water in a bowl. Use a towel over your head and the bowl and inhale the sole steam. If the steam is too hot, put a towel over the steaming bowl and inhale the steam through the towel. Continue for about 30 minutes or until the blockages are out and you can breathe easily again. A pinch of Himalayan Crystal Salt on the tongue will stop persistent dry coughs nearly immediately.

---

12. Foot fungus

Foot fungus, also called Athlete’s foot is a common dermatitis of the webs of the toes, nails and soles of the feet. If left untreated athlete’s foot can spread to the groin, palm or other parts of the body. This kind of infections is very contagious and is spread by walking barefoot on contaminated objects and floors, for example public shower rooms in gyms, hotel rooms etc. It may cause itching, burning, pain and scaling, the toenails get thicker, disfigured or cracked and give off a foul odor.

First, mix one part vinegar to four parts very warm water and soak feet in it for 20-30 minutes, twice a day. After drying of your feet, rub salt brine on the affected regions. Vinegar creates an inhospitable environment for the fungus, but the Himalayan crystal salt is what kills it because it absorbs the humidity out of things. Without the damp, fungus cannot survive.

13. Eliminate your Psoriasis and Acne Problems forever

Taking a mixture of one teaspoon of sole in a small glass of water every morning will provide nutrients and elements to the skin helping and preventing common skin conditions. Nevertheless as we age, skin can get dry, wrinkles appear and all kinds of skin problems show up.

Himalayan crystal salt brine supports the treatment of psoriasis by balancing the skin’s acid mantle for regeneration and optimum healing of damaged cells. The salt helps to increase circulation to the affected areas, detoxifying the skin so that minerals can be absorbed easily. It supplies the dermal cells with necessary nutrition and sufficient supply of minerals that are essential for optimum skin health such as: Zinc, Sulfur, Iodine and Chromium.

Zinc promotes a healthy immune system, the healing of wounds and tissues and helps prevent scarring. By regulating the activity of the oil glands it helps prevent acne.

Sulfur is a mineral without which we suffer from dry scalps, rashes, eczema and acne. It keeps skin clear and smooth.

Iodine increases oxygen consumption and the metabolic rate of the skin and therefore helps the healing of skin infections.

Chromium reduces skin infections and fights acne.

Use salt brine (slightly diluted -1 tsp. sole, 1 tblsp. water) and dab it on the affected areas or use the undiluted solution. The solution helps cleaning and detoxifying from the outside. For larger areas use a bowl and soak the parts in it or take a sole bath.

14. Motion sickness

Motion sickness is a disturbance of the inner ear, whereby the sense of balance and equilibrium is affected. Signs of motion sickness are usually pallor, yawning, restlessness and a cold sweat forming on the upper lip or forehead. Fatigue and drowsiness may occur and often nausea and vomiting. The symptoms usually disappear when the motion that causes it ceases.

To prevent motion sickness, you could fill a small pouch with Himalayan crystal salt and wear it around your neck while traveling. Alternatively, before you travel, you can drink a mixture of one teaspoon of salt brine and lukewarm water before you travel. It will also give you a sense of calmness and balance.

---

15. Unhealthy Libido

Aging, stress, high blood pressure levels, alcohol, psychological aspects, medication intake and numerous other reasons can have negative consequences on fundamental sexual interest and performance. But also younger people can have the problem of low libido and a decreased ability to physically perform. While certain physical symptoms vary depending on gender, males tend to suffer from higher blood pressure than women.

Eliminating toxic table salt from your kitchen and using Himalayan crystal salt for cooking helps the body to keep a healthy blood pressure. In addition, mix one teaspoon of salt brine with mineral or spring water and drink in the morning before breakfast. You should feel the positive effects within a few weeks.

---

16. Himalayan salt as a bone strength booster

Generally, peak bone mass is reached by both genders between the age of 25 and 35 years. With progressing age heavy toxins accumulate in the joints and eat away at our joints due to lack of minerals in the food supply, wrong food choices, lack of physical activity and dropping hormone levels. Our body becomes depleted of vital minerals and as a result our bones get demineralized. The consequences are weak and brittle bones, the joints become causing arthritis or bones that break easily. Bone loss as a skeletal disease is considered a silent disease because its condition is created over many years and in most cases is not diagnosed until a broken wrist, hip or leg occurs.

It is always better to prevent bone loss by using Himalayan salt in the daily diet because the salt contains eleven minerals which are important for healthy bones such as: Calcium, Magnesium, Manganese, Sulfur, Silicon, Zinc, Copper, Phosphorus, Iodine, Vanadium, and Fluoride. It is recommended to switch from table salt to Himalayan salt. A daily mixture of one teaspoon of sole and mineral- or spring water in the morning on an empty stomach will be able to reverse and even cure arthritis or other bone related illnesses.

---

17. Fight Diabetes & Normalizes Blood Sugar

Himalayan crystal salt is a vital factor for balancing the sugar levels in the blood, a needed element in diabetics. Blood sugar levels in the body that are too high or too low cause great disadvantages which, if not treated can develop into diabetes. Even if diabetes is already diagnosed, it can be reversed and the ideal balance in the body can be restored. Responsible are four minerals out of the 84 in Himalayan salt that maintain balanced blood sugar levels.

Chromium turns carbohydrates into glucose and helps regulate the production of insulin.

Magnesium helps to digest sugar, starches and fats and therefore stabilizes blood sugar levels.

Vanadium has shown insulin-like effects on the glucose metabolism.

Manganese maintains blood glucose levels in the normal range.

Drinking one teaspoon of sole mixed with mineral- or spring water every morning and using Himalayan crystal salt in your daily diet will show a positive effect within a few weeks.

How to make sole or salt brine

Having a jar of sole in your kitchen is a very handy health remedy for all kinds of ailments and it is easy to make. If you keep it in a jar or glass bottle with a wide neck and a screw top or a lid you don’t have to worry about the water evaporating.

First put about 1 inch of Himalayan crystal salt stones, ground salt or just salt into a glass jar.
Add about 3 inches of purified water or spring water over the stones or salt, completely covering the crystals. Let the mixture sit for about 24 hours.

Keep adding more salt crystals to the water if they are dissolved until it gets to a stage where the salt will no longer dissolve and stays on the bottom. When salt stays on the bottom and cannot dissolve, it means that the water is fully saturated and cannot hold anymore. Make sure there are always salt crystals on the bottom and when you use the brine just add more water and more salt. Salt crystals on the bottom are an indicator that the water is totally saturated with salt.

In the morning, mix one teaspoon of sole with a glass of purified water or spring water and drink it on an empty stomach. This drink will give your body energy for the next 24 hours and will keep you healthy and fit.

As a natural anti–bacterial and natural fungicide, the sole cannot spoil or go bad and will keep forever.

Natural antibiotics to stockpile now: 10 herbs and foods that kill superbugs

By: J. D. Heyes


(NaturalNews) Longtime readers of Natural News know that, because of massive over-prescribing by the modern healthcare industry, today's crop of antibiotics are becoming less and less effective. Another culprit: The increased use of antibiotics in factory-farm animals.

"It is not difficult to make microbes resistant to penicillin in the laboratory by exposing them to concentrations not sufficient to kill them," warned Alexander Fleming, the creator of the first antibiotic, penicillin, back in 1945 when he received his Nobel Prize for medicine. "There is the danger that the ignorant man may easily underdose himself and by exposing his microbes to non-lethal quantities of the drug make them resistant."

And while bacteria have been a part of "life" on Earth for humans since the dawn of time, constant exposure to antibiotics -- which kill even "good" bacteria -- is responsible for the rise of superbugs that are resistant to an increasing number antibiotic drugs.

With that in mind, and before you find yourself in dire need of something that will kill the superbugs, here are 10 herbs and foods that will do the job naturally:

-- Honey: In a recently released study, researchers from the Salve Regina University in Newport, Rode Island, reaffirmed that raw honey is one of the best natural antibiotics you can have.

Lead author Susan M. Meschwitz, Ph.D., presented the findings at the 247th National Meeting of the American Chemical Society.

"The unique property of honey lies in its ability to fight infection on multiple levels, making it more difficult for bacteria to develop resistance," she said.

Honey uses a combination of weapons including polyphenols, hydrogen peroxide and an osmotic effect. Honey is practically an ambidextrous fighter, using multiple modalities to kill bacteria.

-- Colloidal silver: As noted by Gregory A. Gore, in his book, Defeat Cancer:

Silver was used 1,200 years ago by Egyptians, Romans, Greeks, sailors, and then by the pioneers who populated our country. They used it for various illnesses and to keep their foods and liquids from spoiling. Prior to 1938, before antibiotics, colloidal silver was used by doctors as their main substance to fight bacteria in a more natural way than through the antibiotics they use today. Antibiotics can harm our kidneys and liver functions. Colloidal silver promotes healing.

-- Pascalite: This is a type of bentonite clay found only in the mountains of Wyoming. It possesses remarkable healing powers. When it is used topically, it is known for its ability to draw infections from wounds in a matter of hours or days, thereby bringing about total recovery. The first recorded use of Pascalite was in the early 1930s when a trapper named Emile Pascal set his traps near a cold, clear mountain lake, where he had noticed a large number of animal tracks; after getting some of it on his chapped hands, he noticed some time later that it appeared to help them. So he continued to experiment with the substance and found that it had a number of topical uses, including for burns, minor wounds and infections.

-- Turmeric: This herb has been used in Ayurvedic and Chinese medicine for many thousands of years to treat a wide range of infections. The antibacterial and anti-inflammatory qualities have been known to be highly effective in the treatment of bacterial infections. It can also be used topically for MRSA and additional lesions of the skin.

-- Oil of Oregano: This is an essential oil known best for its bacteria-killing abilities, as well as controlling staph infections like MRSA. It contains antioxidant, antiseptic, antiviral, antifungal, anti-inflammatory, antiparasitic and pain-relieving properties. In 2001, Science Daily reported on a Georgetown University study which found that oregano oil's germ-killing properties were nearly as effective as most antibiotics.

-- Tea tree oil: This is also a very potent and essential oil that has been shown to be effective in killing antibiotic-resistant MRSA on the skin. One important note: Therapeutic-grade tea tree oil must be used undiluted if it is to be used for this purpose.

-- Olive leaf extract: This substance has been used for a number of centuries to battle bacterial infections and is now currently being used as well to fight MRSA infections in some European hospitals. It provides immune system support while fighting antibiotic-resistant infections.

-- Garlic: This tasteful seasoning veggie has been used for medicinal purposes around the world for thousands of years. It was even used in the 1700s to ward off the plague. It possesses very potent antibiotic, antiviral and antifungal properties.

-- Echinacea: This compound has been used to treat aging and a wide variety of infections for centuries. It was traditionally used to treat open wounds, as well as blood poisoning, diphtheria and other bacteria-related illnesses. Today, it is used mostly to treat colds and flu.

-- Goldenseal: This is one of the most popular herbs sold on the American market and has recently gained a reputation as an herbal antibiotic and immune system enhancer. American Indians used goldenseal as a medication for inflammatory internal conditions such as respiratory, digestive and genitourinary tract inflammation induced by allergy or infection, according to Herbwisdom.com.

The REAL TRUTH About COCONUT OIL. Plus 4 Unhealthy Oils To Avoid

By: Be Well Buzz
No gift of nature can be replaced by the products invented in laboratories!!
The Mother Earth is incredibly liberal. She gifts us nutrient-packed fruits and vegetables and give us the nourishment required to lead a good life.
Coconut is particular tops the list. Because of its numerous healing properties many call it “the tree of life”.
For a long time, the island people consumed it daily as a part of their diet and considered it to be the panacea for all their illness. Although it constitutes saturated fat, conditions like diabetes, heart diseases and cancer were almost unheard of at that time. Instead, the Filipinos and islanders were rewarded with a lovely, youthful, soft and wrinkle-free skin. There were no traces of skin cancer, even though the people there were extensively exposed to the sun.

Coconut oil is anti-viral and anti-bacterial, absolutely the best for skin and hair, and even burns fat. Unlike to what has been believed about the saturated fats, the coconut oil doesn’t cause obesity, heart problems or any other disease. Modern science and medicine are finally catching up and starting to realize this elemental truth about coconut oil.
Before the Second World War, the miraculous coconut oil was used to help with:

• cough
• constipation
• skin infections
• toothache
• malnutrition
• and many other health issues

But after the war ended, this thinking was changed by the US proclamation of hydrogenated oils to be healthier. Later, an under-developed scientific theory claimed the saturated fats to increase the “bad” LDL cholesterol levels, which was dangerous for the humans. This situation was exploited perfectly by the food manufacturers because vegetable oils are cheaper to produce.
Cheaper, hydrogenated oils, produced in bulk replaced the traditional foods, like the all-healing coconut oil. And for the first time in the history, diseases which were earlier widespread among Americans started to plague these island nations too.

4 Unhealthy Oils You Should NEVER Consume

You should avoid eating the following oils if you want to stay beautiful, healthy and young.

1. Canola – Even insects and animals avoid it!

Nothing like canola exists in nature. Canola oil is just a customized version of the rapeseed oil. The rape plant is constituted by cyanide-containing compounds. The distillation process of deodorizing and bleaching it to transform to canola oil involves exposing the rapeseed oil to very high heat which reduces the Omega-3 content.
Its consumption is now linked to many health issues like fatty degeneration of the kidneys, adrenals, heart, thyroid gland and the muscular disorders.

2. Cottonseed Oil – It is now an industrial plant soaked with pesticides.

Everything from canned products to chips and many packaged items have the cottonseed oil as an ingredient. But as cotton is treated like an industrial crop, and not an edible crop, almost anything is being sprayed on cotton plants just to keep away the insects and to induce growth. Hazardous poisons like trifluralin, dicofol, cyanide, naled and propargite are used on these crops which transform them into contaminated organisms.
Besides being very high in omega-6 fatty acids, cottonseed oil has a similar protein structure to peanuts. So if you are allergic to peanuts, you have to stay away from it at all costs. Unfortunately FDA does not require an allergy label on the oil so you need to read the label carefully.

3. Safflower – It increases Omega-6 levels that also raises your chances of heart disease.

There is no point believing that the saturated fat is a direct reason of heart diseases. Previous studies failed to estimate the high ratio of the omega-6 fats to omega-3 fats in these oils. But researchers now have a proof that it might not be the high cholesterol level that kills, but rather the omega-6 factor.
In one study animal fats were replaced with omega-6 rich safflower oil, the cholesterol levels actually decreased a bit, but the rate of deaths due to cardiovascular and coronary artery diseases increased notably.
These results provoked the researchers to reconsider their theories about cholesterol, saturated fat and heart diseases and point out the true culprit, the “heart-healthy” fatty acid Omega-6.
Check out another article about Heart Harming Omega-6 Rich Oils

4. Soybean – Absolute disaster to your hormones.

It is the biggest nutritional myth that soy is beneficial. 99% of the American soy is GMO (Genetically Modified Organism). The highly refined soy is linked to several conditions including the hormone disruption and thyroid damage, thanks to the large quantities of phyto-estrogens present in it. It is highly processed and hydrogenated and found in numerous products.
People in Asia enjoy soy in its fermented state and in considerably smaller quantities than we do. So if do want to include this oil in your dietary plan, make sure it is in fermented form.
It is time to make sure that you don’t have one of these oils (or food with them) in your pantry and opt in for a healthy coconut oil instead.
We all have been lied to for many years by the big food manufacturing companies. The time is now to empower yourself with this information and make healthy choices for your own and your family’s health!
There are many brands of coconut oil on the market and some brands preserve more nutrients than others, but even the poorest coconut oil is much more nourishing than many of the most popular vegetable oils on the market. Below are our recommendations.

• Nutiva Certified Organic Extra Virgin Coconut Oil
• Wilderness Family Naturals Organic Centrifuge Extracted or Cold-Pressed
• Nature’s Way Organic Virgin Coconut Oil

Vaccine dangers: The facts don't lie

(NaturalNews) Do you remember the 2009 "Swine Flu Pandemic" - which supposedly threatened millions of unvaccinated people? Naturally, if we ask the pharmaceutical industry, the Swine Flu vaccination campaign was a 'huge success'. Unfortunately, according to the National 2009 H1N1 Flu Survey, an estimated 46 million people were duped into believing that a flu shot was their only hope.


Modern healthcare is run by criminal organizations. How else can you explain the never ending use of fear tactics to convince people that chemical injections will strengthen immunity and prevent disease? On the next NaturalNews Talk Hour, Jonathan Landsman and Mary Tocco, a widely-respected vaccine researcher will expose the truth (and lies) about vaccines.

All vaccines are contaminated with deadly substances

Now I know that the above statement sounds 'radical'; some may even accuse me of being a 'conspiracy theorist'. But, the fact remains that medical experts - with far more knowledge about vaccines than me - have admitted enough to convince me to avoid vaccines - until they come up with a safer method of delivery.

Remember what the (now deceased) head of vaccines at Merck once said about the Hepatitis B vaccine? Dr. Maurice Hillerman, once on camera, admitted that Merck's Hepatitis B vaccines - contaminated with a virus - caused the AIDS epidemic in the United States. Oh, by the way, he went on to say that all Merck vaccines are contaminated with cancer and other viruses.

Dr. Larry Palevsky, a board certified NY pediatrician, routinely gave vaccines to his patients - until he noticed them losing eye contact and then began researching the topic. He discovered that all vaccines are contaminated with viruses that are so small they can never be removed. He no longer gives out vaccines and treats young patients for autism and other neurologic injuries related to vaccines.

And, finally, one of the most cited scientists in the world - Dr. Garth Nicolson - has a serious warning for anyone considering vaccines. As a cell biologist, publisher of 600 medical and scientific peer-reviewed papers, editor of over 14 books (his credentials go on and on), Dr. Nicolson is not just saying that vaccines are contaminated with mycoplasma but is warning the U.S. that they are.

Weaponized mycoplasma in vaccines cause chronic disease

You better sit down for this one. Dr. Nicolson - President, Chief Scientific Officer and Research Professor at the Institute for Molecular Medicine - has said that "mycoplasma is a bacteria, but it's a bacteria without a cell wall, so it's a very primitive bacteria. It's lost a lot of its genetic information, so it has to depend upon the host to survive and grow." But, here's the shocking news.

According to Dr. Nicolson, 'mycoplasma will sometimes get genetically engineered to be used as a non-lethal biological warfare weapon'. For example, Gardasil - promoted by the pharmaceutical industry as a way to 'protect BOTH your son and daughter from certain HPV-related diseases' - is contaminated with a man-made (genetically altered) version of the HPV DNA. This is the same virus it was supposed to protect against - which now threatens the healthy DNA of our children with a diseased version.

Stop the madness. Before you allow yourself to get vaccinated - educate yourself and make an informed decision. Your life depends upon it.

Shocking vaccine statistic! 61% of all human tumors (at autopsy) now contain the SV40 monkey virus - which is traceable to the Polio vaccine of the 1950s and 60s. Don't become a vaccine statistic. On the next NaturalNews Talk Hour, Jonathan Landsman and Mary Tocco talk about the #1 concern over vaccines, what to do with a vaccine-related injury plus much more.

The Scary Truth About the New York City Flu Vaccine Mandate

Missy Fluegge

April 21 2014

This year, 150,000 children will be added to the list of victims of forced vaccination. The leaders of New York City have mandated that all children under the age of six years old who attend day care or preschool must be vaccinated with the flu vaccine.
The official requirement mandates that all children between the ages of six months and five years who will be attending day care or preschool in New York City must be vaccinated between July 1 and December 31 of any given year. One health official claims that the rule won’t officially be enforced until the end of 2014, and a press release from the New York City Board of Health states that they will begin issuing violations on January 1, 2016. [1] [2]
New York City already mandates that children must be vaccinated against measles, mumps, rubella, pertussis, chicken pox, and tetanus. The new mandate is expected to affect 150,000 children under the age of six. Daycare and preschool facilities will be required to enforce the mandates or face they will face fines. [3]

Reason #1: It Interferes with Parental Choice

Regardless of people’s views about the safety and efficacy of vaccines, many people would agree that it should be an individual’s right to choose – or, in the case of a minor, a parent’s right to choose – which substances are injected into their body.
Well-known groups comprising large numbers of employees in New York are already opposed to vaccine mandates, including the New York State Public Employees Federation and the New York State Chapter of the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU). [4]
In its own statement regarding vaccination, even the American Medical Association (AMA) grants approval for medical personnel to receive exemptions for vaccines  due to a “recognized medical, religious, or philosophic reason,” exemptions which are more lenient than those granted to babies and preschool children affected by the NYC mandate.
Also in question is whether or not the city government has the authority to mandate vaccines. City officials claim that their Health Department has “authority over all matters concerning health in New York City” through the City Charter.
Recently, many Americans were outraged by the decision of officials from United Arab Emirates to mandate forced breastfeeding for the first two years of a child’s life. We knew that forcing someone to breastfeed, regardless of the benefits of breastfeeding, infringed on their personal right to make choices about their own bodies. Yet, some people fail to recognize that vaccination, the injection of foreign substances into one’s body, should also be a choice. [5]

Reason #2: The Flu Vaccine is Ineffective

The most recent statistics, based on scientific studies published by well-known media channels such as USA Today and The Huffington Post, demonstrate the flu vaccine’s inability to prevent the flu. Contrary to what vaccine manufacturers want us to believe, the flu vaccine will not make us healthier.
An article published on the website for USA Today stated, “This season’s flu vaccine was almost completely ineffective in people 65 and older.” One source from Vanderbilt University’s School of Medicine stated, “Everyone at CDC’s Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices meeting was scratching their heads over this.” [6] A similar article published by The Huffington Post reported an overall effectiveness rate of only 59 percent. [7]
Older adults are not the only group of people who experience few benefits from the flu vaccine. The CDC itself, when answering the question “How effective is the flu vaccine in children?” on its website, admits that “reduced benefits of flu vaccine are often found in studies of young children,” especially those under two years of age, the very age group targeted by this vaccine mandate. [8]
Influenza and similar illnesses can be caused by over 200 to 300 viruses, and some research indicates that vaccines may be most effective against combating influenza A and B, which comprise a mere ten percent of circulating viruses. Often, people mistake flu-like symptoms for influenza, and they don’t actually have the flu.
Furthermore, if you win the “flu lottery,” by actually contracting one of the three strains of flu that happens to be in this season’s flu vaccine, the vaccine will be worthless if your body hasn’t fully responded to the vaccine (which takes two weeks) or if too much time (more than three months) has passed between vaccination and viral exposure. [9] [10]

Reason #3: The Flu Vaccine is Dangerous

According to the CDC, the flu vaccine contains thimerosal, aluminum, antibiotics, egg protein, aborted human fetal cells, and monosodium glutamate (MSG). Our immune systems may be unable to combat these foreign, toxic substances, especially while under the influence of very common conditions such as high sugar intake, low vitamin D3 levels, and damaged gut lining.
According to a search of the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS) website, in the past five years,  (during the period from January 2009 until February 2014) there were 55, 578 adverse events reported to VAERS related to the flu vaccine. Of these adverse events, 7,904 affected children under the age of six. [11]
Most disturbing among these numbers are the reported 47 children age five and under who died after receiving the flu vaccine during the past five years alone.
Keep in mind, vaccine injuries and deaths are grossly under-reported. Less than ten percent of vaccine injuries are actually reported, which brings the likely death toll from the flu vaccine to over one hundred children per year. [12]

Are There Exemptions for This Mandate?

Yes, although options for parents who don’t wish to vaccinate their children are limited. New York State allows medical and religious exemptions, although philosophical exemptions against vaccines are not granted. Fortunately, children who attend family day cares in people’s homes are currently exempt from the flu vaccine mandate. [13]

Conclusion

Families should not be forced to inject their child with toxic substances. They should not be forced to receive a vaccine that is ineffective and dangerous. They should not be forced to give up their preferred choice for quality, early childhood education and care programs in order to avoid forced vaccination. Families should be allowed to make the choices for their health and well-being that are best for their family.
If your child attends day care or preschool in New York City, we urge you to contact your elected officials and tell them you are against forced vaccination for your child. In addition, you may exercise your right to choose a religious exemption from the flu vaccine mandate, or enroll your child in a family day care, where they will be exempt from mandatory vaccination against the flu.
Finally, whether or not your child is affected by the latest NYC vaccine mandate, we urge you to learn about vaccine legislation where you live and research vaccine ingredients. You can download a free vaccine research guide right now to protect your child from unwanted, toxic substances contained in vaccines.
