  • HPV Cancer: Vaccine and Profit

    Not as effective as they make it out to be.

    • HPV vaccine is injecting 1,500 mcg of aluminum over a period of less than a year via 3 doses of Gardasil 9. 
    • The trials statistics reflect there is the potential of 2,300 serious adverse events to try and prevent 7.9 cases of cervical cancer. Adverse event reports show this vaccine is devastating. 61,552 cases of vaccine injury from the HPV vaccine. That’s more than the total number of cervical cancer in the United States in any given year.

    The Risk of Cancer has been low and not decreased significantly after vaccine marketing

    The proven way to prevent cancer is early detection. Because precancerous lesions found by Pap smears can be treated and cured before they develop into cancer, and because cervical cancer is often detected before it becomes advanced, the incidence and death rates for this disease are relatively low. 

    *According to data for the period from 2003 through 2007, the incidence rate for cervical cancer was 8.1 cases per 100,000 women per year in the United States. 10 years later, after the advent of the vax the rate averages at 7.8 per 100,000.  

    The mortality rate 10 years ago was 2.4 deaths per 100,000 women per year. In 2010, an estimated 12,200 women in the United States will be diagnosed with cervical cancer, and an estimated 4,210 will die of the disease. 

    In 2016, the death rate averages 2.3. 

    This chart created by the CDC does NOT show a significant decline in cancer deaths even though vaccines were introduced in 2004, 2009 and 2014 with that implied they would reduce the risk. 

    Notice the above rates have not decreased with any great significance even though the CDC reports that 6 in 10 girls and 5 in 10 boys are getting the vaccine series.

    The Risk of the new vaccine.

    For the first time, Merck has disclosed what may indeed be close to the true rate of serious adverse events people are suffering after the use of Gardasil and will probably continue to suffer if they consent to using Gardasil 9. The only difference would be that the rates may be higher when used in the general population because certain at-risk groups are excluded from clinical trial participation but not from vaccination programs.

    2.3-2.5% doesn’t sound that bad until you compare apples to apples. Cervical cancer rates are always quoted as # per 100,000. Given the above information, for every 100,000 people using Gardasil 9 there would be 2,300 serious adverse events. The cervical cancer diagnosis rate in the United States is 7.9/100,000.

    What health official in their right mind is willing to anticipate 2,300 serious adverse events to try and prevent 7.9 cases of cervical cancer?

    Keep in mind that the cost of vaccinating 100,000 people is around $30 million ($100 per injection, 3 injections). This doesn’t even begin to address the cost of treating 2,300 serious adverse events, the emotional, physical and financial expense to families and the cost to society via the lost productivity of the injured.

    *Men do not get cervical cancer – the vac is recommended for boys 9 years old. Could that be because it’s one of the most profitable products for manufacturers?

    All About Profit

    The rise in the number of mergers and acquisitions and strategic collaborations are estimated to offer lucrative opportunities for the market players in the next few years. Some of the key players operating in the vaccines market across the globe are Merck & Co., Inc., CSL Ltd, GlaxoSmithKline plc., Janssen Pharmaceutical Company, Pfizer, Inc., Sanofi Pasteur SA, Mitsubishi Tanabe Pharma Corporation, Serum Institute of India Ltd, Emergent BioSolutions Inc.,And Novavax AB.

  • Toxic Chemicals Contaminate Foods Marketed to Children

    The FDA refused to test our foods for contamination. EPA refuses to reduce the amount of toxins permitted on our food crops. Independent studies show that our food is filled with toxic chemicals.  

     The weedkiller, produced by Bayer-Monsanto, was detected in all 21 oat-based cereal and snack products sampled in a new round of testing commissioned by the Environmental Working Group. All but four products contained levels of glyphosate higher than what EWG scientists consider protective for children’s health with a sufficient margin of safety.

    EWG’s petition, currently under consideration by EPA, calls on the agency to return to its health-protective 1993 standard. But it could take years for EPA to act, and the agency has been caught colluding with Monsanto to promote the claim that the chemical is safe.
    The only way to quickly remove this cancer-causing weedkiller from foods marketed to children is for companies like General Mills and Quaker to use oats from farmers who do not use glyphosate as a desiccant.


    More than 236,000 people have signed a petition directed at these food companies, calling on them to take action to protect consumers’ health.

  • Free Screening of Generation Zapped June 5 Boise

    Free Movie Screening June 5 at 7 pm at Boise’s Overland Park Cinemas. We are pleased to partners with Idahoans for Safe Technology to bring this screening of GENERATION ZAPPED an eye-opening documentary which reveals that wireless technology can pose serious health risks, from infertility to cancer. Through interviews with experts in science and public health, along with people suffering from high sensitivity to wireless radiation, local experts will be on hand to share ways you can reduce your exposures and protect your family. 

    Tickets are free but we need a headcount please REGISTER HERE

     

    Like cigarettes and the toxic chemicals before it, emerging science is revealing the concerning reality that some people may suffer health impacts from radiation from wireless devices. 

    We meet four people who are struggling with a variety of illnesses from wireless radiation – a breast cancer survivor who had carried her cell phone in her bra, a long-term cell phone user with brain cancer, and a fit, seemingly healthy couple with neurological impacts now identified as being linked to wireless data transmission radiation. 

    Scientists, health researchers, physicians, and other experts document the links and concerns about this technology. 

    The multi-billion-dollar telecommunications industry goes to great lengths to lobby congress, influence policy-makers, and dispute any scientific data correlating wireless technology to potential health risks, which is reminiscent of the lead, asbestos and tobacco industries before them.

     

    GENERATION ZAPPED is a powerfully moving and thought-provoking documentary, daring to shine light on this invisible inconvenience, and empowers audiences to understand how to reduce their exposure to protect themselves and their families.

    GENERATION ZAPPED investigates the potential dangers of prolonged exposure to Radio Frequencies (RF) from wireless technology; its effects on our health and well-being, as well as the health and development of our children. This includes links to breast and brain cancer, associations with increased infertility and genetic mutations related to autism and ADHD, as well as newly seen illnesses, such as electrical hyper-sensitivity (EHS).

    This film was born of a personal and deep investigation by Executive Producer Peter Sullivan as to why his two sons growing up in the tech capital of Silicon Valley, California, were manifesting signs of being on the autism spectrum. Peter has funded studies to try and find out why some people are sensitive to low frequency radiation, including his own sons. He teamed with award winning film director Sabine El Gemayel, herself a mother of three teenagers, who is intensely concerned about the impacts of wireless technology on children and young adults.

    Together, Sullivan and El Gemayel have created GENERATION ZAPPED as a social-awareness documentary combining personal stories from others directly affected, along with discussions with doctors, health researchers and other experts discovering the mounting scientific evidence. The film features public health policy experts who are fighting to revise long outdated policies and safety regulations.

  • FDA Approved Aspartame is a Proven Addictive Carcinogenic Neurotoxin

    Aspartame is an addictive carcinogenic neurotoxin still considered safe by the FDA. This neurotoxin is found in over 6000 food and drink products (almost ALL gum) and is deceptively marketed as “sugar free” and “healthy”.  Under the trade names Equal, NutraSweet, and Canderel, aspartame is an ingredient in approximately 6,000 consumer foods and beverages sold worldwide, including (but not limited to) diet sodas and other soft drinks, instant breakfasts, breath mints, cereals, sugar-free chewing gum, cocoa mixes, frozen desserts, gelatin. It may be labelled 951 or “contains phenylalanine”. 

    FDA officials still describe aspartame as “one of the most thoroughly tested and studied food additives the agency has ever approved” and its safety as “clear cut”. Aspartame damages the brain at any dose. Avoid it at all costs.

  • Parasites found in Contaminated Injections

    Vaccines have been found to be contaminated with retroviruses and neurotoxins and parasite eggs and Lyme spirochete rods by independent scientist in the U.S and Italy. WHY are vaccines contaminated? That is the 54 Billion Dollar Question. Vaccine manufacturers made $54 billion in profit last year and maintain a liability-free status in the United States due to the 1984 Vaccine Injury Compensation Act. For those who may be unaware, pharmaceutical companies have no incentive to create safe vaccines because federal law removed their liability for damages caused by these vaccines—and passed it on to the taxpayers. Taxes are collected on each vaccine and the people pay for harm, permanent injury and death by vaccination. <See Liability Free Vaccine>

     In 2011, Dr. Judy Mikovitis made the discovery that destroyed her career. She found that at least 30% of our vaccines are contaminated with gammaretroviruses. Not only is this contamination associated with autism and chronic fatigue syndrome, it is also associated with Parkinson’s, Lou Gehrig’s disease, and Alzheimer’s. 

    The retroviruses contaminating vaccines originate from mice used for research. Dr. Mikovits asks, “How many new retroviruses have we created through all the mouse research, the vaccine research, gene therapy research? More importantly, how many new diseases have we created?”

    “When they destroyed all of our work, and discredited everything I or Frank Ruscetti had ever published, and arranged for the publication of my mug shot in Science, the NIH very deliberately sent the message to researchers everywhere about what would happen to any honest scientist who dared ask those important questions.”

    2016 Italian scientists discovered that our vaccines HAVE NOT been cleaned up even though the technology is available.

    Researchers examining 44 samples of 30 different vaccines found dangerous contaminants, including red blood cells in one vaccine and metal toxicants in every single sample tested – except in one animal vaccine.

    An electron-microscopy investigation method was applied to the study of vaccines, aimed at verifying the presence of solid contaminants by means of an Environmental Scanning Electron Microscope equipped with an X-ray microprobe. The results of this new investigation show the presence of micro- and nanosized particulate matter composed of inorganic elements in vaccines’ samples which is not declared among the components and whose unduly presence is, for the time being, inexplicable. A considerable part of those particulate contaminants have already been verified in other matrices and reported in literature as non biodegradable and non biocompatible. The evidence collected is suggestive of some hypotheses correlated to diseases that are mentioned and briefly discussed. https://medcraveonline.com/IJVV/IJVV-04-00072

     The pharmaceutical industry is hiding truth and this not only needs to stop but as parents, we also need to find out why this is happening and how we can protect our children from the poison needles. We have a generation of children to protect…not to mention the entire human genome! Each and every parent has to start asking questions about their children’s health. Why not? What harm can possibly come from doing the best job you can as a parent by protecting your children’s health? The answer to that is, none. In fact, the second you became a parent, is when that became your ONLY job.

    Italian scientist disclose: Not all the vaccines analyzed contain the same contamination, though the same vaccine belonging to different batches and, in some cases, coming from different countries can contain a similar contamination (e.g. the vaccines by Glaxo Infarix, Typherix and Priorix contain Tungsten. Tungsten was also identified in Menjugate kit by Novartis, and Prevenar, Meningitec by Pfizer and Meningitec by Wyeth).]

  • All Power is in the People. Idaho Rules Undermine Our Power.

    Rules are the way that government happens. There are 8200 pages of administrative rules. Common Core came into state through the rules. Only ONCE a year, the first three weeks Legislators have the opportunity to vote approved or deny the rule. The rules only have to have ONE BODY approve the administrative rules.

    Every year the rules have to be RE-Approved. It’s called the going home bill. Every year the legislators approve each new rule- written as is. The House attempted to add an amendment, from now on, both Chambers have to approve any new rules, adjusted rules. If the rules aren’t heard – they are automatically approved.

    The Structure of Power:

    • People – Citizens of Idaho
    • Legislative Branch (write bills)
    • Judicial Branch (courts)
    • Executive Branch (Elected Officials all equal in power)

    Unlike any other year, all 8200 pages of rules have to be re-proposed as temporary and proposed rules.

    Negotiated Rules allows the citizen to review the rules.

    Search the rules.

    Submitted to the public on June 1st.

    Find the issue that is bugging you. This is your opportunity to send in a comment and they will take that into consideration. They have to HEAR the citizens on the rules.

  • Scientist find that LED Blue Light can Damage Health

    The “blue light” in LED lighting can damage the eye’s retina and disturb natural sleep rhythms, a French health authority warned in a new report. “Exposure to an intense and powerful [LED] light is ‘photo-toxic’ and can lead to irreversible loss of retinal cells and diminished sharpness of vision,” the French Agency for Food, Environmental and Occupational Health & Safety (ANSES) warned in a statement. LED lighting may actually be one of the most important, non-native EMF radiation exposures you’re exposed to on a daily basis. Other health problems rooted in mitochondrial dysfunction may also be exacerbated, and these run the gamut from metabolic disorder to cancer.

    While less dangerous, even chronic exposure can “accelerate the ageing of retinal tissue, contributing to a decline in visual acuity and certain degenerative diseases such as age-related macular degeneration,” the agency concluded.

    Long-lasting, energy efficient and inexpensive, light-emitting diode (LED) technology has gobbled up half of the general lighting market in a decade, and will top 60 percent by the end of next year, according to industry projections. The basic technology for producing a white light combines a short wavelength LED such as blue or ultraviolet with a yellow phosphor coating. The whiter or “colder” the light, the greater the proportion of blue in the spectrum.

    LEDs sabotage health and promote blindness. Limit your exposure to blue light swap out LEDs for incandescent or low-voltage incandescent halogen lights

    Blue Light Disturbs the Circadian rhythm

    LEDs are used for home and street lighting, as well as in offices and industry. That are also increasingly found in auto headlights, torches (flashlights) and some toys. LED cellphone, tablet and laptop screens do not pose a risk of eye damage because their luminosity is very low compared to other types of lighting, Francine Behar-Cohen, an ophthalmologist and head of the expert group that conducted the review, told journalists.

    But these back-lit devices — especially when they are used at night or in a dark setting — can “disturb biological rhythms, and thus sleep patterns,” the agency cautioned.

    Because the crystalline lens in their eyes are not fully formed, children and adolescents are particularly susceptible to such disruptions, the ANSES reports noted.

    Interfering with the body’s circadian rhythm is also known to aggravate metabolic disorders such a diabetes, as well as cardiovascular disease and some forms of cancer, noted Dina Attia, a researcher and project manager at ANSES. In addition, a stroboscopic affect in some LED lights — provoked by tiny fluctuations in electric current — can induce “headaches, visual fatigue and a higher risk of accidents,” the report said.

    For domestic lighting, ANSES recommended buying “warm white” LED lighting, limiting exposure to LED sources with a high concentration of blue light, and avoiding LED screens before bedtime. ANSES also said that manufacturers should “limit the luminous intensity of vehicle headlights,” some of which are too bright.

    Lighting Plays an Important Role in Biological Energy Production

    Light is a sorely misunderstood and overlooked part of the equation for biological energy production, specifically at the mitochondrial ATP level.  ATP is the fuel your cells need for all of their varied functions, including ion transport, synthesizing and metabolism. Remarkably, your body produces your body weight in ATP every day. And, while you can survive for several minutes without oxygen, were all ATP production to suddenly stop, you’d die within 15 seconds. Your body’s energy production involves not just food intake. You also need exposure to certain wavelengths of light in order for your metabolism to function optimally. This is yet another reason why sun exposure is so vitally important for optimal health.
    – Dr. Mercola

    Change the Light

    Best,  Incandescent light, especially the old type “Edison” style tungsten filament lamps. light is 2300K, close to sun-set light.

    I’ve replaced all my lamps with these tungsten filament lamps, and I sleep better, my children sleep better, and I can tolerate getting up at night to help the baby Much better.

    There is much more to light, also as a medicine to help energize the body, we are starting to understand all the mechanisms just recently, if you want to know more on this topic.

  • Farm Bill 2018 and its influence on CBD Market

    With the passage of the Farm Bill 2018 there is a legitimate greenlight for the CBD products. The products are gaining immense popularity across many segments of the economy such as in health/wellness. Idaho farmers lost the opportunity to plant this season as the Senate squashed a bill that would have added another cash crop to the agricultural market of our state. However, CBD product sales are exponentially growing and the market is expected to hit its peak in the next couple of years.

    Farm Bill 2018 and its influence on CBD Market

    Hemp as well as hemp-derived cannabidiol (CBD), is now legal in the U.S. As a result, hemp is likely to expand into about $22 million economic sector come 2022. This is great news for everyone; products for the consumers, medicines for the sick, and farmers will get jobs. 

    Brief information about CBD

    Image Source 

    As defined by legislation, hemp is a usual agricultural crop which is also known as cannabis plant and has about 0.3% of THC (delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol). TCH is a compound that makes people feel ‘high’ by interacting with your endocannabinoid receptors found in the brain, thus, activating the reward mechanisms to produce dopamine. 

    THC content cannot be more than than 0.3%

    As per the Farm Bill section 10113, hemp cannot contain over 0.3% THC. Any cannabis plant containing more than 0.3% THC will be considered a non-hemp marijuana or cannabis under

    CBD does not affect your receptors. You can consume CBD in liquid form like consuming thc vape juice or by inhaling which is the quickest way to feel the benefits of CBD.Before the legalization of farm bill 2018, 47 estates including Washington, D.C and Puerto Rico had legal laws which permit the individuals to use CBD but with limits. This is according to NORML, a marijuana advocacy institution. After this year’s bill, CBD is lawful in all the 50 states. 

    CBD is not linked to any abuse and it cannot motivate physical dependence. Therefore, individuals can tolerate it as long as they follow the doctor’s instructions.

    Medicinal benefits of CBD

    The U.S FDA (food and drug administration) approved Epidiolex, a hemp-derived drug that contains high amounts of CBD and helps in treating epileptic syndromes affecting young children about 3-5 years. It treats chronic pain through its anti-inflammatory characteristics. Also, it combats anxiety, depression, and insomnia.

    Hemp also has other uses apart from medicinal purposes. It is useful in the manufacturing of cars, making papers as well as clothes like sweaters.

    CBD vs Marijuana

    Marijuana is known to be a Schedule I controlled substance under the federal law. Therefore, it is an illegal product for any purposes. There are several types of marijuana; ruderalis, Indica, and sativa. Whereas CBD is a type of cannabis shatter that has unique features like low THC levels and fibrous stalks. Farm bill 2014 distinguished CBD from marijuana by the concentration or percentage of THC that each species has.

    Farmers usually harvest marijuana plants for their buds which have the psychoactive properties. Thus, they produce “high effect” when you use marijuana. However, for CBD; the targets are the seeds and stalks. Best online dispensary Canada offers quality cannabis and marijuana seeds. Therefore, if you are a hemp farmer living in Canada, visit their site and order your seeds. 

    CBD market vs Cannabis market after farm bill 2018

    There is a legitimate greenlight for the CBD products following the passing of this year’s bill. The products are gaining immense popularity across many segments of the economy such as in health/wellness.

    This brings the question; will there be a hit in the legitimate cannabis market? The answer is no. This is so because the CBD market has little effect on the cannabis market as they are separate markets. Ordinary retail outlets might have CBD products. However, each state formulates regulatory regimes that limit the availability of cannabis products in retail stores because state-certified dispensaries distribute them.  

    What does the bill say about CBD?

    The passing of farm bill 2018 is a turning point for the CBD market in the U.S. It removed hemp and its derivatives from the schedule I of the controlled substance. Therefore, this makes CBD legal. In reality, it moved CBD from the legal grey region to the light area. 

    The legal gray region kept the CBD market small and rambling for a long time. With this year’s bill, more CBD products will be available on the shelves of many large-scale and majority distribution channels. Therefore, companies in some industries such as beauty, pet, tobacco, skin care, and drinks will be able to develop many CBD products. There are a number of online stores from where you can buy such products with the same ease as  you buy steroids online.

    Although the CBD market operated under the legal grey region with challenges such as inadequate distribution channels, small brands, and reduced marketing budget, it witnessed boost nationwide. 

    This is evident by its 80% growth to reach about $590 million, and with the passing of the bill; the CBD market will reach great heights come 2022. 

    It allows hemp farmers grow this plant without apprehension of breaking the federal government law. The bill ensures that hemp receives the same treatment as any other agricultural commodity. Truly, this gives farmers a chance of being part of the growing economy as fresh CBD markets develop. 

    For this reason, hemp can be useful in different industries such as biofuel, plastic, building materials, cloth, and paper. Luckily, there are many autoflowering marijuana flowers that they can grow. Struggling farmers will realize new job opportunities.

    State-federal regulation on the cultivation of the crop

    Even though hemp has been legalized by the federal government, hemp cultivation and production will still be regulated by both state and federal governments. As per the Farm Bill section 10113, state dfederal law and thus, would not be protected legally under the new Farm Bill. epartments of agriculture need to work in collaboration with the chief law enforcement officer and state’s governor to formulate a plan that should be presented to the secretary of the USDA. And only after taking an approval from the secretary of the USDA, a state’s plan for hemp regulation and licensing can be commenced. In states that choose not to formulate a hemp regulatory program, USDA will come into the picture and formulate the program. And this regulatory program will require cultivators to not only get a license for cultivation but also work in compliance with federally-run program.

    What does IDAHO say about local farmers growing Hemp? 

    HB122 was a positive step forward for Hemp Farming in Idaho but it got squashed by Idaho’s Senate. Legislative session closed without any vote on farming and since we have no state plan, farmers can plant next year directly under the federal hemp rules due out by this fall.

    CBD took long to become legal in the US disappointing many farmers. However, it is now exciting to have it as a usual cash crop. The good news is that hemp is versatile as it sustainable as well as an environmentally-friendly plant. This is a great boon for the farmers because they have stretched access to different hemp products. 

    Conclusion

    Farm bill 2014 restricted the cultivation of industrial hemp through a pilot program. The program limits how much of the hemp should farmers grow and the reasons to grow it. However, with this year’s bill, such restrictions are put to an end. It allows licensed American farmers to cultivate industrial hemp. 

    Under this bill, CBD is put in the same category as other normal commercial crops. Also, there will be no prohibition around its processing, transporting, or selling across the states. However, the law states its cultivation.

    The CBD products from industrial hemp are now legal in the U.S. This is so because these products cause no psychoactive effects on the consumer. If you are a consumer it is always wise of you to check the THC content of any CBD product, ensure its manufacturer is genuine, and consult your doctor before using the product. There is no doubt that the U.S will now compete favorably with China.
