<p><strong>FACT:</strong> In 2008, excess body weight was responsible for over 124,000 new cancer diagnoses in Europe.</p>
<p>Just imagine what that number was in the United States as Europe is a much healthier place when it comes to diet and lifestyle habits.</p>
<p><strong>FACT:</strong> Numerous research studies have shown that cancer is much more common in populations consuming diets rich in fatty foods, particularly meat, and much less common in countries eating diets rich in grains, vegetables, and fruits.</p>
<p><strong>FACT: </strong>The World Health Organization has determined that dietary factors account for at least 30 percent of all cancers in Western countries and up to 20 percent in developing countries.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>32 Girls Have Died </strong><br />
11,916 adverse events already reported to the CDC… and counting.</p>
<p>Pain and swelling. Life-threatening muscle weakness. Blood clots in the heart and lungs.<br />
The deaths of 32 innocent girls and young women.</p>
<p>You might think I&#8217;m talking about a deadly new disease or a global epidemic…  I&#8217;m not.<br />
Sadly, it&#8217;s more sinister than that. The health threats listed above have all been linked with Gardasil, the so-called &#8220;<strong>cervical cancer vaccine.</strong>&#8221; And thanks to pharma giant Merck, desperate parents and naive young women believe this vaccine saves lives… they couldn&#8217;t be more wrong.</p>
<p>That&#8217;s why HSI&#8217;s Jenny Thompson has released a new video in which she exposes the deception for what it is…and reveals some truly shocking information no one else is talking about.</p>
<p>Please, if you have daughters, granddaughters or friends who might be considering this terrible vaccine, you must watch not give it to them and learn more about it.. and not from yoru doctor who is paid to give it to you. Please forward this info to all young girls and their mothers.</p>
<p>If you think you know the whole story on Gardasil, I think you&#8217;ll be shocked by what you will learn. Save a young girl&#8217;s life and don&#8217;t give them Gardisil.</p>

<script type="text/javascript"

</script></p>
<p>Below I have copied and pasted a full article on this so called vaccine with evidence backed by the NYTimes and Judicial Watch.</p>
<p><strong>The Gardasil HPV vaccine may be as dangerous as it is unnecessary</strong></p>
<p>Stop Right There</p>
<p>Your pediatrician is about to give your daughter a Gardasil vaccination &#8211; designed to prevent human papillomavirus (HPV), one of the causes of cervical cancer.</p>
<p>But before he does, he turns to you and says, “I should mention that thousands of CDC adverse event reports, which include paralysis and seizures, have been made in connection with this vaccine. Some of the girls receiving the vaccine required hospitalization. At least seven young women died suddenly shortly after receiving the vaccine, although in some cases the exact cause of death hasn’t been determined.</p>
<p>“So should we go ahead with it?”</p>
<p>Many parents would stop it right there, while others would have no qualms about going ahead with the shot.</p>
<p>But they might have second thoughts if their doctor kept up the conversation</p>
<p>Talkin’ the talk</p>
<p>“So should we go ahead with it?”</p>
<p>At this point a parent might say, “Well, it’s mandated by the state, so we have to.”</p>
<p>(New Jersey, Massachusetts, and Virginia require the vaccine for all girls entering the sixth grade. Similar legislation is pending in other states.)</p>
<p>Doctor: No, you can easily opt out. In this case “mandatory,” isn’t really mandatory.</p>
<p>Parent: Right, but the state wouldn’t well, let’s say, “strongly encourage” the vaccine for all girls if it didn’t prevent cervical cancer.</p>
<p>Doctor: Actually, the vaccine prevents HPV, which is just one of the causes of cervical cancer. The best way to decrease your daughter’s risk of invasive cervical cancer is to teach her to be disciplined about getting regular gynecological exams.</p>
<p>(According to the American Cancer Society, when pap tests detect early cervical cancer, survival rate is more than 90 percent.)</p>
<p>Parent: So you’re telling me that the state makes it SEEM like this expensive vaccine is mandatory, and yet getting vaccinated doesn’t guarantee that my daughter will avoid cervical cancer?</p>
<p>Doctor: That’s right.</p>
<p>Parent: And what are those adverse side effects again?</p>
<p>Junkyard dog</p>
<p>A recent report from Judicial Watch (a public interest group that promotes government accountability) leads off with this quote from Judicial Watch president Tom Fitton: “The FDA adverse event reports on the HPV vaccine read like a catalog of horrors. Any state or local government now beset by Merck’s lobbying campaigns to mandate this HPV vaccine for young girls ought to take a look at these adverse health reports.”</p>
<p>If those state and local governments follow Mr. Fitton’s advice, they’ll have quite a bit of reading to do.</p>
<p>Less than one year after the FDA approved Merck’s Gardasil in June 2006, Judicial Watch filed a Freedom of Information Act request and received more than 1,600 reports that were submitted to the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System regarding Gardasil. Three months later, Judicial Watch filed another request and found that nearly 200 new reports had been added to the list.</p>
<p>Some of the adverse events that show up frequently in the reports include:</p>
<p>* Dizziness<br />
* Fainting<br />
* Seizures<br />
* Convulsions<br />
* Guillain-Barre Syndrome (a central nervous system disorder in which weakness and tingling sensations in the legs spread to the upper body, sometimes causing paralysis)</p>
<p>Parent: Okay, those are troubling side effects. But given the thousands of young women who have received the vaccine, the chances of experiencing those events are very small. So isn’t the vaccine worth the risk?</p>
<p><script type="text/javascript"><!--
google_ad_client = "pub-8554874356963123";

//-->
</script>
<script type="text/javascript"
src="http://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/show_ads.js">
</script></p>
<p>And here’s what the doctor is not likely to admit: According to a Journal of the American Medical Association study, less than two percent of all women develop the two types of HPV that are responsible for 70 percent of all cervical cancers. And American Cancer Society guidelines state that 90 percent of adolescent HPV infections are resolved without treatment &#8211; the same is true for about 75 percent of HPV infections in adults.</p>
<p>I hope you’ll share this e-Alert with your friends and family who are parents of young daughters. Let them know that the Gardasil vaccine is potentially dangerous, but guaranteed to do only one thing: Make billions of dollars for Merck.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>For a few years now I have been heavliy against vaccines. Why you might ask? Well a doctor recommended vaccine that I was told was safe almost killed my son. The doctor assured us he did not get sick from the vaccine and was again given the Vaccine. Again he became deathly ill shortly after getting it. The doctor denied any relation again. This is when I learned that even Canadian doctors are slowing following the American way and getting paid to give the shot.  This is when I stopped believing in doctors and started looking for alternative answers and the truth behind it all.</p>

<p>I guess roughly a year ago we saw our first ad for the HPV Vaccine Gardisil hit the TV. I immediately grew concerned even though I do not have any daughters. Within months of seeing the ads I heard of reports of deaths and side effects related to the vaccine. Still the commercials persisted and then they hit the Canadian channels. Its now been I guess roughly 1.5 years since it hit the market and they are pushing it more and more. So far in the US there have been 11 reported deaths. This is only reported deaths.. just think how many go unreported and how many there have been in other countries. There has also been over 3779 adverse reactions reported. The word here is ADVERSE! Yet its still pushed and they are trying to make these things manditory in some states and countries.</p>
<p>WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH PEOPLE! Is it truly all about money?</p>
<p><strong>3779 Adverse Reactions Reported in the USA alone</strong></p>
<p>I caution you all who would consider giving this to your daughter. My first thought is that these poor young girls tricked and forced into getting these vaccine shots in the future will not only develop some disease from it but not be able to get pregnant (watch the Children of men).  Below is an article released last year that goes into abit more detail on the subject.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s time to stand up and SAY NO! Do you really want your children to be poisoned by these money hungry companies?</p>
<p>Send an email to the goverment and voice your complaint. Let your cable companies know that you don&#8217;t want to see it on there programming or you will cancel your subscription and go elsewhere. Email these companies and tell them enough is enough.</p>
<p>I urge everyone to stand and be heard. We can all change the world if we do only one thing that moves us towards a better government and makes our opinions, voices and the truth known.</p>
<p><strong>Tell your friends&#8230; and don&#8217;t let anyone you know get any type of vaccine. It is not natural or  needed unless there was a disease outbreak!</strong></p>

<p><em>By John-Henry Westen</em></p>
<p>WASHINGTON, DC, October 5, 2007 (LifeSiteNews.com) &#8211; Judicial Watch, the public interest group that investigates and prosecutes government corruption, yesterday released new documents obtained from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) under the provisions of the Freedom of Information Act, detailing a total of as many as eleven deaths related to Merck&#8217;s HPV vaccine Gardasil.  Those deaths resulted between June 8, 2006 &#8211; when the vaccine received approval from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) &#8211; and August 2007 when the latest data was available.</p>
<p>The adverse reports coming from the HPV vaccine are increasing daily at an alarming rate.  A LifeSiteNews.com report which scanned a publicly available database of adverse affects coming from the HPV vaccine found 3,137 adverse effects reported on September 28, 2007.  Today the U.S. Government&#8217;s Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS) lists 3,779 adverse effects.  52 of the cases were deemed &#8220;life threatening&#8221; and 119 required hospitalization.</p>
<p>In one case highlighted by Judicial Watch a 17 year old girl who was vaccinated in June 2007 died the very day she was vaccinated.  According to the report, she &#8220;was vaccinated with a first dose of Gardasil…During the evening of the same day, the patient was found unconscious (lifeless) by the mother. Resuscitation was performed by the emergency physician but was unsuccessful.  The patient subsequently died.&#8221;</p>
<p>Other serious reported side effects associated with Gardasil include paralysis, Bells Palsy, Guillain-Barre Syndrome, and seizures.  Says one report: &#8220;Initial and follow-up information has been received from a physician concerning an &#8220;otherwise healthy&#8221; 13 year old female who was vaccinated with her first and second doses of Gardasil.  Subsequently, the patient experienced…paralysis from the chest down, lesions of the optic nerve…At the time of the report, the patient had not recovered.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;In light of this information, it is disturbing that state and local governments might mandate in any way this vaccine for young girls,&#8221; said Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton.  &#8220;These adverse reaction reports suggest the vaccine not only causes serious side effects, but might even be fatal.&#8221;</p>
<p>The toll from the HPV vaccine may be greater still.  Judicial Watch filed its request on August 20, 2007, and received the adverse event reports from the FDA on September 13, 2007, in what the agency described as a &#8220;partial response.&#8221; On October 3, 2007, Judicial Watch filed a new lawsuit against the FDA for its failure to fully respond to Judicial Watch&#8217;s FOIA request as required by law.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>NUTRITIONAL INGREDIENTS ARE NOT MEDICINAL!</strong></p>
<p>Each and every day.. I hope the world will take a turn for the better, but I find something that proves it other wise. The problem here seems to be one evil. Money and the greedy men and women who have and want more of it.</p>
<p>Mostly.. it seems to be the medical industry from the US pushing its money into pockets and government allowing for things to pass that should not. Are people being bribed? In the US, of course&#8230; in Canada. I would hope not but it seems that each year we are adopting a few more ways of the Americans. Not a good thing!</p>
<p>If you cannot see a problem with this you honestly just need a good kick in the face. Look at where the US has taken there selves with greed and corruption. When it becomes all about money, everyone suffers as you see the world is now. This is all the side effect of one greedy, corrupt country.  Don&#8217;t get me wrong. It&#8217;s not everyone in America. My father is American, a lot of my friends are as well. It just seems like Americas dream of freedom was one of greed and corruption that has finally spilled over for the world to see.</p>

<p><strong>Now it seems that the someone is up to something again</strong>.</p>
<p>Beverage companies like Coke (does the us medical industry have stakes in Coke &#038; Pepsi?) and Pepsi are changing the way they label their beverages. What am I talking about you may be asking. Just go and buy some Ice Tea or other beverages from your local convenience store and look at the label. Not all companies are doing this yet and hopefully they won&#8217;t as its wrong! But when you look at the label you will see they have now changed the Ingredients list from &#8220;Nutritional Ingredients&#8221; to &#8220;Medicinal Ingredients&#8221;.</p>
<p><script type="text/javascript"><!--

<p>To most&#8230; it won&#8217;t seem like a big deal. To most&#8230; they don&#8217;t even notice it. But to those of you that care about the direction of our country and the world we live in, you might have noticed this. I personally became furious when I read this and put the product back on the shelf. I will not support it.</p>
<p>It is quite simple what effect this will have on our future. For those of you unsure, <strong>here is what it means when a company starts labeling Nutritional Ingredients as Medicinal.</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Nutritional Ingredients are now considered Medicinal.</li>
<li>Medicinal Ingredients are considered medicine.</li>
<li>This means that they can be regulated by the FDA.</li>
<li>This means that normal nutritional ingredients in your food like carrots, potatoes, broccoli etc are considered medicinal, no longer nutritional &amp; natural.</li>
<li>This means the FDA/Goverment can and will control what you grow.</li>
<li>This means they can make it illegal to grow FOOD because it has MEDICINAL Ingredients in it and only doctors and pharmacists can dispense medicine.</li>
<li>This means you can no longer have a vegetable garden or pick fresh oranges or apples from a tree.</li>
<li>This means we will have to eat what they say.</li>
<li>This means we will get sick.</li>
<li>This means you will have to buy their drugs to stay alive.</li>
</ul>
<p>Don&#8217;t let the beverage industry get away with this. Whether they are doing intentionally or just trying a new marketing gimick. It is wrong.</p>
<p>Call them.. email them.. write them.<br />
Spread the word and don&#8217;t buy their products.</p>
<p><strong>If we are all aware, we can change the world.<br />
They don&#8217;t control us, we control them. Without our money, they are nothing!</strong></p>
<p>NUTRITIONAL INGREDIENTS ARE NOT MEDICINAL!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Why I would never buy any drugs from Bayer!</strong><br />
Bayer Knowingly Sold HIV-Contaminated Vaccines, Say Internal Documents</p>
<p>Here&#8217;s a little-known truth about Bayer that needs to be revisited. In 2006, it was discovered that Bayer found out a vaccine it was selling in the United States was accidentally contaminated with HIV.</p>
<p>In order to cover its tracks, say the journalists in this video (below), Bayer pulled the vaccines off the market and sold them to consumers in Japan, France, Spain and other countries, where hemophiliacs were then contaminated with HIV due to the vaccine.</p>
<p>Despite these apparent crimes, no Bayer executives  faced arrest or prosecution in the United States.</p>

<p>A Bayer spinmeister had this to say: &#8220;Bayer behaved responsibly, ethically and humanely&#8230; [and its actions] were consistent with regulations.&#8221;</p>
<p>Sure they did. Don&#8217;t forget that Bayer is the same pharmaceutical company linked to Nazi Germany&#8217;s medical experiments on concentration camp prisoners. They have a long and dark history of being involved in the manufacture of chemical weapons. As stated on CorporateWatch.org</p>
<p>&#8221; IG Farben continued to grow during the inter-war period as one of the most powerful chemical and pharmaceutical companies in the world. Products included polyurethanes and the first &#8216;sulpha&#8217; drugs. It is during Nazi-era Germany and WW2 that IG Farben (Bayer) entered its most sinister phase. IG Farben as the leading chemical company in Nazi Germany took over chemical plants across Nazi occupied Europe, used slave-labour in their factories (including operating their own concentration camp), conducted medical experiments on those held in the concentration camps and manufactured the poison gas used to kill thousands. At the end of the war the 1945 Potsdam Agreement called for the break up of IG Farben into its constituent companies. Twelve IG Farben employees and directors were jailed for war crimes at the Nuremburg Trials.&#8221;</p>

<p>Bayer Corp, the maker of aspirin, is trying to get the FDA to approve the use of aspirin as a preventive measure against heart attacks. The ploy, of course, is to get permission to run TV ads that say, &#8220;One aspirin a day will prevent heart attacks, even if you&#8217;ve never had a heart attack.&#8221;<br />
Bayer wants every person in the world to take one aspirin a day. Why? Because it&#8217;s good for profits, of course. Very good for profits. Get the entire population believing that aspirin is good for them, and get the FDA to line up behind it, and you&#8217;ve got a great racket running.<br />
In reality, eating some chlorella each day, or flax oil each day, or some fresh fruits and vegetables each day is probably far better for your heart than an aspirin a day, and real foods don&#8217;t cause gastrointestinal scarring, either.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Just because its says &#8220;Organic&#8221; does not mean it is 100% organic. It does not even mean its 70% organic. Anyone can put the word organic on there products aslong as one ingredient is organic. I noticed this the other day while shopping at [tag]Costco[/tag]. They had a new &#8220;Organic&#8221; shampoo on their shelves. As I am always looking to see what is new in the [tag]Organic[/tag] and Natural lines I read the product cover. Organic Olive Oil shampoo. Great I thought&#8230; So then I picked up the product to read more. 2nd ingredient is Sodium Laureth Sulfate a known problem causer and one of over top 10 ingredients to avoid. As I further read the only ingredient I found Organic was the Olive oil. So that says it all. Just because its says &#8220;Organic&#8221;.. does not mean its 100% organic and or safe for you or your family to use.  </p>

<p>My recommendations is to always read the [tag]ingredients[/tag]. I live by the saying, &#8220;if you can&#8217;t eat it.. I don&#8217;t put it on my skin&#8221;. You might think this makes it hard to shop for [tag]soap[/tag] and other items, but really it does not. What it does is save our family money as we are not out there buying into the elaborate marketing gimics of product companies. Go back to the basics and live your life healthy and disease free.</p>
<p>For those of you interested in Sodium Lauryl Sulfate .. here is some info for you.</p>
<p>Both Sodium Lauryl Sulfate (SLS) and its close relative Sodium Laureth Sulfate (SLES) are commonly used in many soaps, shampoos, detergents, toothpastes and other products that we expect to &#8220;foam up&#8221;. Both chemicals are very effective foaming agents, chemically known as surfactants.</p>
<p>SLS and SLES are esters of Sulphuric acid &#8211; SLS is also known as &#8220;Sulfuric acid monododecyl ester sodium salt&#8221;, however there are over 150 different names by which it is known &#8211; see them here. In fact, SLES is commonly contaminated with dioxane, a known carcinogen.</p>
<p>Although SLES is somewhat less irritating than Sodium Lauryl Sulfate, it cannot be metabolised by the liver and its effects are therefore much longer-lasting.</p>
<p>A report published in the Journal of The American College of Toxicology in 1983 showed that concentrations as low as 0.5% could cause irritation and concentrations of 10-30% caused skin corrosion and severe irritation. National Institutes of Health &#8220;Household Products Directory&#8221; of chemical ingredients lists over 80 products that contain sodium lauryl sulfate. Some soaps have concentrations of up to 30%, which the ACT report called &#8220;highly irritating and dangerous&#8221;.</p>

<p>Shampoos are among the most frequently reported products to the FDA. Reports include eye irritation, scalp irritation, tangled hair, swelling of the hands, face and arms and split and fuzzy hair. The main cause of these problems is sodium lauryl sulfate</p>
