			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Picture this. You arrive at a party. When you walk in the room, EVERYONE stops and stares for a second, before crowding around you to talk.</p>
<p>Everyone wants a piece of you; you&#8217;re the center of attention. When you speak, people LISTEN.</p>
<p>They cling to your every word. You crack jokes effortlessly, and people find you funny&#8230;irresistible&#8230; and strangely magnetic.</p>
<p>Members of the opposite sex can&#8217;t help being around you. Everyone wants to be your friend&#8230;to seek your advice&#8230; to indulge in your stories. You&#8217;re strong, attractive, confident,radiating power and respect.</p>
<p>You&#8217;re the top of the food chain&#8211; the *alpha*personality that everyone loves and adores (and is secretly jealous of).</p>
<p>If that describes you, great &#8212; you&#8217;re well aware of how this rare ability affords you an incredible lifestyle, fun and thrilling social encounters, and opens doors to career opportunities closed off to the general public.</p>
<p>But if that&#8217;s NOT you, listen up&#8230; because you&#8217;re seriously missing out. And what&#8217;s more, you*can* be that person, almost immediately.</p>
<p>In fact, if you&#8217;re the type who shies away in the corner&#8230; avoids social confrontation&#8230; can&#8217;t stand being the center of attention (but would love to)&#8230; and is SCARED TO DEATH at the thought of standing up and speaking in front of a crowd of people&#8230; I can turn you into the most confident person in the room.</p>
<p>See, the reason you&#8217;re shy and introverted isn&#8217;t because you&#8217;re any less social, humorous,intelligent or charismatic than others. Many confident people aren&#8217;t smart or charismatic at all&#8230; they just don&#8217;t fear what other people think of them.</p>
<p>As a child, you were conditioned to keep your mouth shut (Ever been told by your parents &#8220;Don&#8217;t talk to strangers?&#8221;.). You were ordered to obey authority figures like parents, teachers,adults. As a grown-up, this &#8220;learned&#8221; behavior is like a knife to your confidence&#8230; and is no longer relevant to your life.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s time to shake it off.<img class="alignright size-thumbnail wp-image-1173" title="happy" src="http://healthcoaching.me/blog/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/oplogo-150x150.jpg" alt="" width="150" height="150" /></p>
<p>The good news is, you can completely *reverse*the conditioning that&#8217;s no longer valuable in your adult life&#8230; in just minutes. It&#8217;s quick,effortless, requires zero practice, and works even if you don&#8217;t think it will.</p>
<p>That&#8217;s because, I have access to a powerful hypnosis CD that targets your negative ego, and re-programs your mind to immediately enjoy greater confidence.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s called &#8220;Extrovert Me&#8221; and it has already helped HUNDREDS of people kill confidence issues dead (and it&#8217;s only just been released to the public).</p>
<p>You can grab it instantly at:</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h1>Chiropractors and Naturopaths &#8211; Are They Dangerous?</h1>
<p>The medical profession has a long history of opposing <strong>alternative healing professions</strong>. The rules of engagement have changed; as the <strong>AMA</strong> is finding new “legal” ways to discredit and limit practitioners of <b>natural medicine</b><a href="http://healthcoaching.me/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/11/MP900422109.jpg"><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-148" title="doctor" src="http://healthcoaching.me/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/11/MP900422109-200x300.jpg" alt="" width="200" height="300" /></a><br />
<strong>Alternative healthcare professionals</strong> such as <strong>chiropractors</strong>, <strong>naturopaths</strong>, and <strong>midwives</strong> have been targeted by the <strong>American Medical Association (AMA)</strong> for nearly a century, in spite of a federal court injunction against the <strong>AMA</strong> in 1987 for illegally trying to create a monopoly in the <strong>healthcare</strong> market<br />
Other <strong>medical associations</strong> have joined forces to manipulate the public into believing <strong><b>natural medicine</b></strong> is quackery by spreading propaganda and mistruths</p>
<p>By Dr. Mercola</p>
<p>The medical profession has a long history of opposing <strong>alternative healing professions.</strong></p>
<p>While always claiming public safety as its reason for the attacks, the true reasons often involve protecting their monopoly of the healthcare market.</p>
<p>Medicine&#8217;s opposition to <strong>chiropractic</strong> was its strongest under the leadership of Morris Fishbein, Secretary of the <strong>American Medical Association</strong> from 1924 to 1949, who led a 50-year <strong>anti-chiropractic campaign</strong> in both professional publications and the public media.</p>
<h2>Historical Antitrust Lawsuits Against <strong>Medical Societies</strong></h2>
<p>In 1975 the U.S. Supreme Court ruled in the case of Goldfarb vs. the Virginia State Bar, that learned professions are not exempt from antitrust suits.</p>
<p>In 1982 the Court ruled that the FTC could enforce antitrust laws against medical societies.</p>
<p>These two suits paved the way for five <strong>chiropractors</strong> to file an anti-trust suit against the <strong>American Medical Association (AMA)</strong> and several other heath care agencies and societies in Federal District Court (known as the Wilkes Case).</p>
<p>Judge Susan Getzendanner found the <strong>AMA</strong> and others guilty of an illegal conspiracy against the <strong>chiropractic profession</strong> in September of 1987, ordering a permanent injunction against the <strong>AMA</strong> and forcing them to print the court&#8217;s findings in the Journal of the <strong>American Medical Association</strong>.</p>
<p>Even with success of the Wilkes Case and other anti-trust litigation, the <strong>AMA</strong> continues to this day to wage a campaign against <strong>chiropractic</strong>.</p>
<p>The <strong>American Medical Association (AMA)</strong> has maintained a decades-long battle against <strong>&#8220;alternative&#8221; healing traditions</strong>, dating back to the 1920s and arguably even earlier. The courts eventually ruled in favor of the <strong>chiropractors</strong> in 1987, finding the <strong>AMA</strong> guilty of a conspiracy to take down the <strong>chiropractic profession</strong>, as the above article recounts in detail.</p>
<p>But was this the end of it? Has the <strong>AMA</strong> resigned itself to the fact that <strong>chiropractic</strong>, as well as other forms of <strong><b>natural medicine</b></strong>, are here to stay? Not a chance.</p>
<h2>The AMA&#8217;s Bedfellows</h2>
<p>Even with the success of the Wilkes Case, the <strong>AMA</strong> has continued to wage war against <strong>natural medicine</strong> for the past 20 years—but in more covert ways. It&#8217;s the &#8220;Cold War&#8221; phase of this battle, but every bit as fierce. And now the <strong>AMA</strong> has rallied up a few significant allies, including:</p>
<p><strong>The American Dental Association (ADA)</strong><br />
<strong> The American Cancer Society (ACS)</strong><br />
<strong> The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP), and</strong><br />
<strong> The American Psychiatric Association (APA)</strong></p>
<p>… not to mention governmental regulatory agencies; all willing to march toward a common goal—a <strong>monopoly on medical care</strong> in this country. Together, they form a formidable lobbying force that controls just about every regulatory and legislative body in America. The truth is that <strong>chiropractic, naturopathic, and osteopathic medicine</strong> <strong>have PROVEN to be medically effective and cost effective for the patient</strong>, and the <strong>AMA</strong> can&#8217;t stomach this, viewing <strong>natural medicine</strong> as a huge threat to their bottom line.</p>
<h2>Federal Courts Rule AMA &#8220;Guilty as Charged&#8221;</h2>
<p>In 1987, the federal courts found the <strong>AMA</strong> and several other medical groups <strong>guilty of seeking to create a healthcare monopoly</strong>. Specifically, they were found guilty of the following actions (published in the January 1988 issue of JAMA):</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Systematic defamation of naturopathic, chiropractic, and osteopathic physicians</strong></li>
<li><strong>Publishing and distribution of propaganda specifically intended to ruin other healthcare professionals&#8217; reputations</strong></li>
<li><strong>Forcing MDs to refuse collaboration with naturopathic, chiropractic, and osteopathic physicians in the co-management of patients</strong></li>
<li><strong>Denying hospital access to naturopathic, chiropractic, and osteopathic physicians</strong></li>
</ul>
<p>The attack on <strong>osteopathic medicine</strong> has largely faded away since then, but <strong>chiropractic and naturopathic practitioners</strong>, as well as other legitimate <strong>natural medicine practitioners</strong>, continue to be the targets of suppression and misrepresentation. The war isn&#8217;t over, but the rules of engagement have changed.</p>
<h2>AMA Declares New War on Natural Medicine in 2006</h2>
<p>In 2006, the <strong>AMA</strong> declared war on <strong>natural medicine</strong> by publicly stating on its website its intention to forcibly oppose licensure and practice of <strong>naturopathic physicians</strong>. Although they quickly removed this from their site, the following is a direct quote from that post, according to <strong>Naturopathy Digest</strong>:</p>
<p><strong>&#8220;RESOLVED, That our American Medical Association work through its Board of Trustees to outline a policy opposing the licensure of naturopaths to practice medicine and report this policy to the House of Delegates no later than the 2006 Interim Meeting. (Directive to Take Action) Fiscal Note: Implement accordingly at estimated staff cost of $10,836.&#8221;</strong></p>
<h2>Translation: Eliminate the competition.</h2>
<p>According to The Integrator Blog, the <strong>American Psychiatric Association (APA)</strong> joined the battle with a statement that their goal was to &#8220;thwart the growing threat of expansion of scope of practice for allied health professionals&#8221; and included <strong>psychologists</strong> on the list of <strong>medical practitioners</strong> who needed to be &#8220;thwarted&#8221; (in addition to<strong> naturopaths, chiropractors, and midwives</strong>). The <strong>APA</strong> pledged their allegiance to the <strong>AMA</strong> in assisting them with &#8220;coordinating research to help medical specialty societies and state medical associations fight expansions in non-medical scope of practice, and improve information sharing among those groups.&#8221;</p>
<p>Other <strong>medical associations</strong> have made similar pledges, such as the <strong>Minnesota Medical Association</strong> and the <strong>New York Academy of Family Physicians</strong>. <span style="color: #003366;"><strong>They maintain that their position is based on concern for quality of care and patient safety, but the REAL agenda is just an attempt to destroy the competition.</strong></span></p>
<p>As <strong>Chiropractor</strong> Louis Sportelli writes in his 2010 article in <strong>Dynamic Chiropractic</strong>:</p>
<p>&#8220;Just look around and you will see clear and compelling evidence that the long-standing war between the <strong>AMA</strong> and everyone else who does not come under the <strong>AMA</strong> umbrella is far from over. The names have changed, the venue has changed, but the intent has remained the same: to maintain monopolistic control over the delivery of health care.&#8221;</p>
<h2>Old Mission, New Tactics: AMA Learns How to Discriminate with Impunity</h2>
<p>In 2010, the <strong>AMA</strong> House of Delegates introduced a resolution regarding scope of practice that contains limitations on who can be considered a legitimate physician, and who can medically diagnose. Specifically, the <strong>AMA</strong>&#8216;s &#8220;Definition of a Physician&#8221; (H-405.969) contains the following language:</p>
<p><strong>&#8220;The AMA affirms that a physician is an individual who has received a &#8216;Doctor of Medicine&#8217; or a &#8216;Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine&#8217; degree.&#8221;</strong></p>
<p><span style="color: #003366;"><strong>This is proof, without a doubt, that the AMA as well as individual state medical associations intend to continue doing everything they can to prevent you from accessing natural healthcare.</strong></span><strong> Texas and Connecticut medical associations</strong> were the first to join the cause, and others will likely follow. Similarly, the <strong>AMA</strong>&#8216;s &#8220;<strong>Comprehensive Physical Examination by Appropriate Practitioners</strong>&#8221; reads as follows:</p>
<p><strong>&#8220;…the performance of comprehensive physical examinations to diagnose medical conditions [should be limited] to licensed MDs/DOs or those practitioners who are directly supervised by licensed MDs/DOs.&#8221;</strong></p>
<h2>State Medical Associations Jumping on Board</h2>
<p>In 2010, the <strong>Texas Medical Board of Examiners</strong> filed an action against the <strong>Texas Chiropractic Board of Examiners</strong> challenging the authority of <strong>DCs (Doctors of Chiropractic)</strong> to perform some of their<strong> medical procedures</strong>, and challenging their authority to diagnose. How can <strong>medical associations</strong> get away with such shenanigans now, when they were given such a clear message to back off in the injunction of 1987? After all, these are very similar tactics to what they were found guilty of back in 1987.</p>
<p>Well, according to Sportinelli, the <strong>AMA</strong> has learned some lessons about how to beat the law—loopholes that allow them to go on the attack while sidestepping &#8220;restraint of trade&#8221; or &#8220;illegal boycott&#8221; violations:</p>
<p>&#8220;It [<strong>AMA</strong>] now understands that government action is protected under the Constitution, as is action in petitioning the government. It can lawfully petition local, state and federal legislators and attempt to influence any legislation without fear of committing actionable restraint of trade or illegal boycott. (However, the <strong>AMA</strong> does seem to be getting dangerously close with its resolution regarding the &#8220;<strong>definition of a physician</strong>,&#8221; in that it appears to involve hospital action without the intervention of government.)&#8221;</p>
<p>And what does one need in order to effectively influence the government? Money. This is something the <strong>AMA</strong> has—and piles of it. Sportinelli goes on to say that the <strong>medical industry</strong> is likely gearing up for a 50-state effort to put <strong>non-MD/DO physicians</strong> out of business. And this means fewer choices about your own <strong>medical care</strong>.</p>
<h2>Profit Motives Cleverly Disguised as Concern for Your Health and Safety</h2>
<p>According to <strong>Naturopathy Digest</strong>, the <strong>AMA</strong> and other medical groups justify their opposition to <strong>natural medicine</strong> on the basis of three areas of concern:</p>
<p><strong>Quality of patient care</strong><br />
<strong> Patient safety</strong><br />
<strong> Quality of education of medical practitioners</strong></p>
<p>As the article so eloquently points out, none of these arguments holds up, and most are based on <strong>medical and pharmaceutical industry propaganda</strong>. If they were TRULY concerned about <strong>patient care and safety</strong>, they would not be<strong> targeting natural medicine</strong>, which has an incredibly low incidence of adverse consequences, but instead going after their own <strong>allopathic medical practices</strong> that are leaving a <strong>trail of death and destruction</strong>.</p>
<p><strong>Drug &#8220;side effects&#8221;, prescription errors, unnecessary surgeries, nosocomial infections, and hospital &#8220;errors&#8221; are a leading cause of death in the United States.</strong> In fact, one estimate is that <strong>allopathic medicine</strong> kills 493 American patients daily. The number of people who die each week as a <strong>result of medical treatments</strong> surpasses the number of deaths caused by the September 11th terrorist attacks.</p>
<p>Yes, each and every week!</p>
<p>Many of the <strong>drugs advertised in JAMA (the AMA&#8217;s scientific journal)</strong> are the very same <strong>drugs</strong> that are killing tens of thousands of Americans each year. This massive funding of the <strong>AMA</strong> by<strong> drug companies</strong> is a blatant conflict of interest. If the <strong>AMA</strong> really cared about your safety, they&#8217;d be putting their substantial assets into overhauling the <strong>American healthcare system</strong>. The <strong>AMA</strong> is fond of lambasting the education and training of <strong>chiropractors</strong>, when in actuality, they should be more concerned about the educational qualifications of their own <strong>physicians</strong>. In their own publications, they have stated:</p>
<p>&#8220;<strong>Medical education</strong> is failing to prepare students adequately for their future practice… <strong>medical education</strong> is currently being held together with peanut butter and bubble gum.&#8221;</p>
<p>At least four consecutive studies have documented that most <strong>MDs</strong> are <strong>incompetent</strong> when it comes to<strong> diagnosing and treating musculoskeletal problems</strong>, something at which <strong>chiropractors</strong> excel. Another example of an abysmal <strong>lack of education of Western physicians</strong> is in the area of <strong>diet and <b>nutrition</b></strong>. The <strong>AMA</strong> itself has published research showing that <strong>dietary interventions</strong> should be used before drugs in the treatment of <strong>heart disease.</strong> Yet, <strong>medical students</strong> receive virtually NO training in <strong><b>nutrition</b></strong>. <strong>Naturopathic</strong> and <strong>chiropractic physicians</strong>, on the other hand, are usually well versed in the importance of <strong><b>nutrition</b> and exercise</strong>.</p>
<h2>It&#8217;s Not Just the AMA</h2>
<p>Perhaps it&#8217;s time to take a real look at <strong>medical associations</strong>, and the concern that they may be doing more harm than good. For groups who claim to exist in order to protect your health, they inevitably end up sabotaging it. It isn&#8217;t just the <strong>AMA</strong>. Other <strong>medical associations</strong> that claim to exist for the betterment of <strong>public health</strong> include the following:</p>
<p><strong>American Dental Association (ADA)</strong>: Continues to support the use of <strong>mercury fillings</strong> and demonizes <strong>biological dentists</strong> who oppose the use of <strong>mercury in dentistry</strong>; continues to support <strong>fluoridation</strong>, in spite of the evidence it does more harm than good.<br />
<strong>American Cancer Society (ACS)</strong>: This charity has close ties to the <strong>mammography</strong> industry, the <strong>cancer drug</strong> industry, and the <strong>pesticide</strong> industry; has rampant conflicts of interest; consistently promotes <strong>drugs</strong> and <strong>screening procedures</strong> while ignoring environmental <strong>causes of cancer</strong>.<br />
<strong>National Cancer Institute (NCI)</strong>: Has spent billions of taxpayer dollars promoting <strong>treatments</strong> while ignoring strategies for <strong>preventing cancer</strong>; abundant ties to the <strong>cancer drug</strong> industry (for more information, read Samuel Epstein&#8217;s new book, <strong>National Cancer Institute and American Cancer Society: Criminal Indifference to Cancer Prevention and Conflicts of Interest)</strong><br />
<strong> American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP)</strong>: Claiming to be protecting your children, the <strong>AAP</strong> is largely funded by <strong>vaccine manufacturers</strong> but refuses to disclose just how much money it gets from them; partners with Congress to protect <strong>pediatricians</strong> and <strong>drug companies</strong> from liability for <strong>vaccine injuries</strong>, while preventing you from getting <strong>truthful vaccine information</strong>.</p>
<h3>Actions Speak Louder than Words</h3>
<p>When someone&#8217;s words differ from their actions, chances are that their actions more accurately reflect their values—and this is true for organizations, as well as individuals. Although <strong>medical associations</strong> claim to have your best interests at heart, their actions tell a different story. It&#8217;s time to begin holding them accountable for their behavior and stop letting them hide behind the same old tired rhetoric.</p>
<p>You have a right to make your own choices about your healthcare, be it <strong>allopathic or naturopathic</strong>—whether you see an<strong> MD, an ND, or a DC</strong> should be YOUR decision and yours alone.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>By Dr. Mercola</p>
<p>With all its designer drugs and state-of-the-art machinery, you&#8217;d think modern medicine is the perfect fix for providing patient-focused care.You might also expect that Americans would be the healthiest people on Earth, seeing that the U.S. is the epicenter of all this technology, and especially since we spend more on health care than any other country in the world.Yet, every year in the U.S., seven out of 10 deaths are due to preventable chronic diseases such as heart disease, cancer, <b>diabetes</b>, arthritis, stroke, and obesity.How can that be?How is it that we&#8217;re not just chronically ill, but also lagging behind most industrialized nations in life expectancy?The answer lies in how we approach health care: like it or not, the real focus of modern medicine is on selling disease and making money, not making you well.</p>
<p>New Disease Definitions and Phony Parameters Feed Pharma&#8217;s Pockets</p>
<p>From blood pressure guidelines to mental illness definitions and dozens of other physical ailments, modern medicine&#8217;s bottom line for only treating symptoms is to expand the indications for the drug pipeline. And that&#8217;s not just in the United States. For most of the world, the definition of health &#8220;care&#8221; has become interchangeable with drug interventions. I put the word &#8220;care&#8221; in quotations to indicate this is modern medicine&#8217;s definition, not mine.I&#8217;ll explain my personal definition of health care later in this article, but for the standard paradigm, it&#8217;s apparent it means not only lowering the minimum acceptable parameters for blood pressure, cholesterol, and <b>diabetes</b>, but creating new &#8220;diseases&#8221; to be &#8220;treated.&#8221; The result is that more people than ever are now on drugs for preventable chronic conditions. Unfortunately, all these drugs haven&#8217;t made us healthier. Instead, we just keep spending more money, with 75 percent of every health care dollar going to chronic disease treatment.In 2008 alone, Americans spent $2.3 trillion on this type of health &#8220;care&#8221; – three times the $714 billion spent in 1990, and more than eight times the $253 billion spent in 1980.In other parts of the world, 36 million people die every year due to chronic diseases – which health officials predict will cost $47 trillion a year by 2030. The numbers are so staggering that the United Nations has formed a special committee just to address strategies for addressing chronic disease. The committees met several times, most recently in New York City, where they declared war on salt, junk food, and tobacco as their first move toward reigning in health care costs.</p>
<p>Sick Pills for Well People</p>
<p>Doctors realize merely treating symptoms does not remove the disease. They also know it&#8217;s lifestyle choices, not salt, junk food, or tobacco, that are responsible for making us ill. So why are drugs typically their first line of &#8220;patient-centered&#8221; care, particularly when so many of them have <b>side effects</b> that can only be treated with more drugs? And what makes health officials think that taxing, banning or regulating salt, junk food, and tobacco is going to solve the chronic disease crisis?In her book, &#8220;Death by Modern Medicine,&#8221; Dr. Carolyn Dean talks about how, for well over a century, the definition of health care has been pills-and-drugs. It&#8217;s a deliberately schemed and manipulated paradigm that&#8217;s been packaged and sold through:</p>
<p>The insurance industry&#8217;s (including Medicare&#8217;s and Medicaid&#8217;s) methodology for payment, which doesn&#8217;t recognize nutritional care or proven naturopathic approaches to health care<br />
Direct-to-Consumer advertising<br />
Influencing physicians and other health care providers through gifts, honoraria for speaking engagements, and financial support for training programs, which is simply another form of advertising<br />
Intense lobbying by PhRMA and individual drug makers such as Merck and Pfizer</p>
<p>Big Bucks for Buying Doctors&#8217; Attention</p>
<p>When it comes to making payments to physicians it wants to influence, the pharmaceutical industry is very generous, Pharma Marketing Blog notes:</p>
<p>&#8220;Last year (2010) a mere dozen pharmaceutical companies paid $760 million to physicians and other health care providers for consulting, speaking, research and expenses, according to ProPublica&#8217;s &#8216;Dollars for Docs&#8217; project.&#8221;</p>
<p>These &#8220;gifts&#8221; ranged from $50 to $2,000 for a single meal, to thousands of dollars for speaking fees, ProPublica said. In fact, one pain specialist, Gerald M. Sacks, allegedly racked in $270,825 from four different Big Pharma companies in one year! Whether that bonus income influenced Dr. Sacks&#8217; prescribing practices is unknown, but what we do know is that just between 1997 and 2005, the amount of five major painkillers sold in the U.S. jumped 90 percent – and in 2011 prescription drug overdoses replaced car accidents as the No. 1 reason for accidental deaths in the U.S., with painkillers topping the list.It&#8217;s scandalous how this happens, Dr. Dean says, because when it&#8217;s all said and done, the advertising and marketing aren&#8217;t even based on science!According to a study published in 2004:</p>
<p>&#8220;…only 6 percent of drug advertising material is supported by scientific evidence. Therefore, most of what you read about a drug is pure fiction, and doesn&#8217;t help a person to make an informed choice about what they are taking, what it will do, and how it may harm them. Drug companies are making claims based on lies.&#8221;</p>
<p>The British Medical Journal said</p>
<p>&#8220;High amount of misinformation puts patients&#8217; health at risk&#8221; because &#8220;doctors tend to base their decisions on the information and advertising material sent out by drug companies.&#8221;</p>
<p>That&#8217;s right. Doctors rely on drug companies to tell them how to treat their patients, and with what drug. What&#8217;s disturbing is that drug studies often result in bias favoring the sponsoring company, meaning that what your doctor is learning from drug reps may be highly slanted toward you getting a prescription for something that has little or no science behind it.Now you know why Americans consume nearly 40 percent of all pharmaceutical products sold! As Sheldon Rampton and John Stauber say in their book, &#8220;Trust Us, We&#8217;re Experts,&#8221; it&#8217;s the best science money can buy. However, there are two other cash-cows that drug companies love even more since it is becoming progressively more difficult to patent new drugs.</p>
<p>Vaccines are the New Revenue Source for Drug Companies</p>
<p>Vaccines are a highly controversial topic and if you still believe that most benefit from them I would encourage you to do some additional research. I have a dedicated section on this site where you can learn more. First, vaccines have not eliminated disease in the world; and secondly, they are huge moneymakers, no matter what health officials want you to think. When it comes to vaccine safety, information, and choice, I recommend the National Vaccine Information Center, which has the most informative vaccine website I know of, where you can educate yourself on vaccine choices.When it comes to revenues, vaccines are one of the fastest-growing sectors of the pharmaceutical industry, with a projected $36.3 billion-a-year business by 2013. This business is helped along by the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) which recommends vaccines in the U.S., which in turn prompts states to follow up by mandating them. But don&#8217;t believe the old line that all this recommending and mandating only costs doctors money. Although the government regulates what pediatricians can charge for vaccines, it also gives some nice &#8220;incentives&#8221; for making sure you and your child get fully vaccinated.Dubbed the &#8220;AFIX&#8221; approach, these incentives consist of an:</p>
<p>Assessment that evaluates how well-vaccinated a provider’s patients are, compared to what the CDC would like them to be;<br />
Feedback to providers on what they can and must do to improve immunization rates;<br />
Incentives to motivate physicians to step up their efforts to push vaccines on their patients; and<br />
eXchange of information about how each provider&#8217;s vaccine status compares to other providers, state norms and expected outcomes.</p>
<p>The incentive part of AFIX is quite broad: referred to as &#8220;opportunities for partnerships and collaboration,&#8221; they range from &#8220;small tokens&#8221; of appreciation and &#8220;resources,&#8221; to &#8220;assisting&#8221; with staffing, including paying for nurses and community-based vaccinators (i.e. those giving shots in drug stores). No wonder so many entities are suddenly on-board with the latest flu vaccine push! The truth is vaccines are Pharma&#8217;s latest money machines.</p>
<p>Cancer—Another Major Revenue Stream</p>
<p>For more than forty years the war on cancer has been waged with abysmal results. It&#8217;s no secret that we are not winning the war on cancer, partly because the FDA is a rogue, out-of-control agency that systematically sabotages serious threats to the current model. Proven cancer cures like that of Dr. Stanislaw Burzynski, who showed a tremendous success rate for his antineoplastin treatment over 30 years ago are a great example of this suppression.The &#8220;science&#8221; behind the FDA&#8217;s decisions on what cancer studies can be introduced to the public is in the politics, and the fact that Pharma feeds the FDA&#8217;s pockets, through direct fees drug companies pay the FDA to get their products reviewed, and the less-reportable, more lucrative bonuses drug companies give the FDA for such things as travel expenses and speakers&#8217; fees.The bottom line is, as Dr. Samuel Epstein says in his book, &#8220;The Politics of Cancer,&#8221; this industry is fed and led by politics.Drug company research and publicly-funded budgets for the likes of the National Cancer Institute, the American Cancer Society, and the National Institute of Health are dependent on treating cancer, not preventing it. The reason is obvious: the $50 billion-a-year cancer business is growing by 15 percent a year. If they cure cancer, there goes the bottom line.</p>
<p>Disease Prevention 101: A Healthy Lifestyle</p>
<p>The best way to avoid the pitfalls of modern medicine, especially dangerous drugs, is to modify your lifestyle. Of all the healthy lifestyle strategies I know of that can have a significant impact on your health, normalizing your insulin and leptin levels is probably the most important. There is no question that this is an absolute necessity if you want to avoid disease. That means modifying your diet to avoid excessive amounts of fructose, grains, and other pro-inflammatory ingredients like trans fats, and exercising regularly.These additional strategies can further help you stay healthy:</p>
<p>Optimize Your <b>Vitamin</b> D Levels to between 50 and 70 ng/ml.<br />
Animal based omega-3 fats – Correcting the ratio of omega-3 to healthful omega-6 fats is a strong factor in helping people live longer. This typically means increasing your intake of animal based omega-3 fats, such as krill oil, while decreasing your intake of damaged omega-6 fats (think trans fats).<br />
Get most of your antioxidants from foods –Good sources include blueberries, cranberries, blackberries, raspberries, strawberries, cherries, beans, and artichokes.<br />
Use <b>coconut oil</b> – Another excellent anti-aging food is <b>coconut oil</b>, known to reduce your risk of heart disease and Alzheimer&#8217;s disease, and lower your cholesterol, among other things.<br />
Avoid as many chemicals, toxins, and pollutants as possible – This includes tossing out your toxic household cleaners, soaps, personal hygiene products, air fresheners, bug sprays, lawn <b>pesticides</b>, and insecticides, just to name a few, and replacing them with non-toxic alternatives.<br />
Use great caution when it comes to prescription drugs – Pharmaceutical drugs kill thousands of people prematurely every year – as an expected side effect of the action of the drug. And, if you adhere to a healthy lifestyle, you most likely will never need any of them in the first place.<br />
Learn how to effectively cope with stress– Stress has a direct impact on inflammation, which in turn underlies many of the chronic diseases that kill people prematurely every day, so developing effective coping mechanisms is a major longevity-promoting factor.Meditation, prayer, physical activity and exercise are all viable options that can help you maintain emotional and mental equilibrium. I also strongly believe in using energy psychology tools such as the Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT) to address deeper, oftentimes hidden emotional problems.</p>
<p>Incorporating these healthy lifestyle guidelines will help set you squarely on the path to optimal health and give you the best shot at living a much longer life. Remember, it&#8217;s never too late to take control of your health. And when you do go to the doctor, know that it&#8217;s OK to ask questions and opt for less medical intervention while choosing a more natural way of healing your body – you should NEVER think that you&#8217;re not supposed to, or can&#8217;t, ask questions of the person you&#8217;ve entrusted with your body.</p>
<p>&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;-<br />

<p><strong>Dr. Shiv Chopra</strong> is a world renowned scientist, author and public speaker. As a former employee of Health Canada (the Canadian equivalent of the <strong>US FDA</strong>) for 35 years, he was the Senior Scientific Adviser for the regulatory assessment of food and <strong>drugs</strong>, including new <strong>vaccines</strong>. When he changed job titles from human <strong>prescription drugs</strong> to the Bureau of Veterinary Drugs, the first file that landed on his desk was Eli Lilly&#8217;s application to use rBGH in Canada.</p>
<p>In this interview he discusses subjects covered in his most recent book, <strong>Corrupt to the Core</strong>, which chronicles his many decades fighting for scientific principles against profit-hungry corporations and ultimately against his own bosses and the Canadian government itself.</p>

<p><strong>Dr. Mercola&#8217;s</strong> Comments:</p>
<p>You may remember <strong>Dr. Shiv Chopra</strong> from my interview with him in 2010, discussing some of the same subjects covered in his new book. He is truly an expert on these topics, having spent 18 years on vaccines and <strong>antibiotics </strong>for humans with Health Canada. But he also spent another 17 years in the Human Safety Evaluation of <strong>Drugs </strong>given to food-producing animals, with the Bureau of Veterinary Drugs.</p>
<p>He was eventually removed from his Veterinary Drugs post for &#8220;insubordination&#8221;, a charge that he not only refutes, but is currently pursuing a wrongful dismissal suit in the Canadian legal system.</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Chopra&#8217;s First Battle: Vaccines</strong></p>
<p>As a member of Canada&#8217;s Food and <strong>Drug </strong>Directorate starting in 1969, Dr. Chopra had a seat on the governmental agency charged with protecting consumers against <strong>harmful drugs</strong>, and immediately he was pressured to approve vaccines that he objected to on scientific grounds. Despite his objections, after experts from the United States were brought in and &#8220;yelled and screamed&#8221; at his staff, the vaccines were approved.</p>
<p>According to Dr. Chopra:</p>
<p>&#8220;After 1967, after the thalidomide affair, there was going to be very rigorous health and safety standards for all <strong>drugs </strong>including <strong>vaccines </strong>in both the United States and Canada… Canada was ahead of the United States [in] that they started to consider <strong>vaccines </strong>as <strong>drugs</strong>.</p>
<p>The moment I joined…the first <strong>vaccines </strong>that landed on my desk were <strong>rubella </strong>and later on, <strong>mumps</strong>, and some later versions of <strong>measles</strong>. I objected to it. I said, &#8216;I see problems in these because these are <strong>minor diseases</strong> and most people get <strong>immune </strong>by age 15. Why are we going to give these <strong>vaccines </strong>that have never been tested?&#8217;</p>
<p>I knew they were made in monkey kidney tissue and we have had problems with the <strong>polio vaccine</strong>…</p>
<p>… My suggestion was, why don&#8217;t we test women at the age of 15 and 16? Those who are not yet <strong>immune </strong>then may be given the <strong>vaccine</strong>?</p>
<p>Of course, the companies didn&#8217;t want that. They wanted 100 percent or at least 80 percent of the children <strong>vaccinated</strong>. That was the only way they were going to make money. So they flew in hordes of people from the United States &#8212; of all people, <strong>Dr. Hilleman</strong>, you may remember him. He himself came. He was effectively yelling and screaming at my department that the United States has passed it and so forth. In any case, the <strong>vaccines </strong>were passed.</p>
<p>We now know from history that those <strong>vaccines </strong>have been used for more than 40 years and the <strong>diseases</strong>, all of them, are still here. Meanwhile, <strong>autism, <b>diabetes</b>, and all kinds of autoimmune diseases</strong> have increased.</p>
<p>We don&#8217;t know what damage we&#8217;re doing &#8212; actually we know that in association with those <strong>vaccines</strong>, <strong>chronic diseases</strong> in <strong>children </strong>have increased. But nobody is paying attention. Everybody is denying that.&#8221;</p>
<p>At the time of the Canadian approval of scientifically questionable <strong>vaccines</strong>, even government studies in the US questioned the <strong>effectiveness of vaccines</strong>.</p>
<p>But not only was no one listening to the arguments about <strong>vaccine efficacy</strong>, the medical community at that time, according to Dr. Chopra, was also in deep denial about the steep drop in <strong>infectious diseases</strong> before <strong>vaccines </strong>gained widespread usage:</p>
<p>&#8220;…Back in 1971, there was an investigation in the United States that <strong>influenza vaccines</strong> was not working and one man, Dr. Anthony Morris, a senior scientist, was fired. And then an investigation occurred and there was a congressional inquiry. They looked at 200 <strong>vaccines </strong>and they ruled that they were all<strong> useless vaccines.</strong></p>
<p>Ironically, those <strong>vaccines </strong>have never been removed from the ledgers and <strong>DPT </strong>was never talked about. Again, medical people know, a lot of scientists know, the CDC, U.S. FDA, other departments, medical departments, medical professionals, they are all denying that all these <strong>infectious diseases</strong> had started to decrease in the early 1940s.&#8221;</p>
<p>With this early battle over <strong>vaccines,</strong> Dr. Chopra witnessed the pattern that would become familiar during his tenure as a scientist at various governmental regulatory agencies. First, the findings of scientists would be neglected, overruled or ignored. Second, corporations would use their influence and money to bend governmental policy towards maximum corporate profits.</p>
<p>This model has dominated governmental health policy for the last 40 years, and has recently taken a turn for the worse. Today, the regulators are merely corporate insiders from the very industries they are assigned to regulate.</p>
<p><strong>Just how Much Protection are Government &#8220;Regulators&#8221; Providing?</strong></p>
<p>According to Dr. Chopra&#8217;s 35 years of experience as a scientist fighting to protect the public health in Canada – not much!</p>
<p>Corrupt to the Core is a fascinating commentary on the entire system of drug approvals, and how the system originally designed to protect the public health, whether in the US or Canada, has been hopelessly corrupted by corporate money and corporate cronyism that views industry as the &#8220;client&#8221; instead of the public.</p>
<p>Again and again, we see this repeating pattern: when concerned scientists who really understand the issues voice their concerns, they&#8217;re oftentimes fired or overruled by bureaucrats holding MBA&#8217;s. According to Dr. Chopra:</p>
<p>&#8220;Non-technical people, accountants, lawyers, and MBAs and all kinds of people were appointed as our bosses; who didn&#8217;t want to listen [to our scientific findings]. That was the style. MBAs can buy science and scientists don&#8217;t know how to manage science. That was the trend. It all came out of Harvard &#8212; the idea of how to manage scientific areas and health areas.</p>
<p>That is part of the corruption that began a long time ago. It was triggered out of the United States, particularly the Harvard model; everybody has to be an MBA. Doctors are sidelined, the scientists are sidelined, and engineers are sidelined&#8230; It will be those accountants and MBAs who will make the decisions.&#8221;</p>
<p>Scientists are dismissed because they interfere with the collusion between government and these large multinational corporations whose primary intent is to increase their profits – not to serve the public health.</p>
<p>The Canadian system is perhaps even worse than the US, as Canada only performs paper verification and doesn&#8217;t do any testing of their own on these products, which the US has the capacity to do.</p>
<p>Either way, the regulatory system we now have in the US and in Canada is a well greased, politically run operation where companies are NOT required to prove the safety and efficacy of their product in peer-reviewed scientific literature.</p>
<p>All they have to do is manipulate the regulatory authorities to approve their product, and they can then use that approval as proof and documentation &#8212; rather than the actual science &#8212; that their product is declared safe! Then they have plausible deniability for any health catastrophes that follow, since they can just blame the government for giving them approval.</p>
<p>If you think you deserve better protection than this from your government, then I encourage you to make your voice heard. As long as the masses stay silent on this subject, the systemic silencing of government scientists is guaranteed to continue.</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Chopra&#8217;s Second Battle: Bovine Growth Hormone (rBGH)</strong></p>
<p>In 1988, Dr. Chopra&#8217;s plan was to transfer to the less contentious public policy branch of Veterinary Drugs in the Canadian government, where he might enjoy a few quiet years before retirement, but no sooner did he arrive when the application from Eli Lilly for <strong>rBGH </strong>in Canada&#8217;s <strong>dairy cows</strong> landed on his desk.</p>
<p>So much for a few quiet years before retirement!</p>
<p>Dr. Chopra questioned the safety of <strong>rBGH </strong>and fought to keep it out of Canada&#8217;s food supply. According to Dr. Chopra:</p>
<p>&#8220;My colleagues were saying, it&#8217;s the same as natural. We don&#8217;t need to ask any questions. The recommendation was &#8220;Just pass it.&#8221; I said, &#8220;you can&#8217;t pass it. You have to ask questions. It&#8217;s genetically modified.&#8221; They said, it&#8217;s the same as the cow&#8217;s own. I said, &#8220;It doesn&#8217;t matter. Even if you took natural <strong>BST/BGH</strong> and you gave <strong>injections </strong>of it, it could harm the cow and ultimately it might come out in the milk, anything else may happen, people are going to drink that milk.&#8221;</p>
<p>They kept on arguing. I said,&#8221;&#8216;Can you give insulin when it&#8217;s not needed? No, you&#8217;ll kill people if you give more than what is necessary.&#8221; I used the same argument.</p>
<p>They said, &#8216;What test can we do?&#8217; I said, &#8216;Normal tests.&#8217; This is a <strong>growth hormone</strong>.</p>
<p>If you inject it in some animals, rats, we should find out whether it produces some other hormones. For instance, it could affect the <strong>pancreas</strong>. There could be more <strong>insulin</strong>. There could be more <strong>progesterone</strong>. There could be more <strong>thyroxin</strong>. This is a normal thing for a veterinarian to ask.</p>
<p>Veterinarians are effectively toxicologists.</p>
<p>Unlike medical people, we learn comparative medicine. So therefore, this is a way to compare and see what species do. The law is that every drug, any product that directly or indirectly gets into the human body must be tested in at least two species of animals, one of which must be non-rodent. It must also be tested in pregnant animals. Then it also must be tested to see whether it produces cancer by lifetime studies in rats and mice and so forth.</p>
<p>None of these studies have been done on the bovine growth hormone.</p>
<p>Anyway, the product sat there unapproved. And then we saw that when it was actually given to cows it produced double births in cows, and their hooves were elongated, the horns and joints were swollen. They said, don&#8217;t worry about the cow, we&#8217;re only concerned about the milk so don&#8217;t worry about the cow&#8217;s safety. But what about the human safety aspect of it?</p>
<p>This went on and on and ultimately, I had dug my heels in, my colleagues also did the same thing… [Then] pressure [for approval] came from the highest offices of the Canadian government, including the Prime Minister and the Privy Council, the highest offices.&#8221;</p>
<p>So as <strong>rBGH </strong>neared regulatory approval despite the scientific concern, Dr. Chopra and his colleagues took their argument directly to the public:</p>
<p>&#8220;We couldn&#8217;t do anything about it, so we filed complaints. Because we filed the complaints through our union, it became public. When it became public, the farmers of Canada, the public of Canada, they all were complaining about <strong>rBGH</strong>.</p>
<p>This now got their attention and I, with my colleagues, were hauled before the Canadian Senate. This is where the first spillage of information occurred before it became very public. Finally, <strong>rBGH </strong>was not approved in Canada. The U.S. approved it, where it is still approved. .</p>
<p>The U.S. is now the only major country where [<strong>rBGH</strong>] is approved. Mind you, a lot of people now object to it.&#8221;</p>
<p>As I said earlier, which was proven by this Canadian example concerning <strong>rBGH</strong>, if the public stands up for their right to a safe food and drug supply and lets their collective voice be heard, then the system may be forced to stop the &#8220;business as usual&#8221; practice of subverting scientific concern over approving dangerous food and drugs.</p>
<p><strong>Final Thoughts</strong></p>
<p>According to Dr. Chopra, corruption is not only systemic in the regulatory process, it&#8217;s also infected the judicial branch of government; and it&#8217;s now threatening to infect all corners of the globe. And this corruption is leading to very real public health consequences.</p>
<p>In Dr. Chopra&#8217;s words:</p>
<p>&#8220;[Recently] the United States Supreme Court said that if people get damaged, if the children get damaged due to vaccine, they can&#8217;t sue either the government or the companies &#8212; by what right?</p>
<p>Who is to decide to shove <strong>vaccines </strong>into people who don&#8217;t want it?</p>
<p>Who decides what food they should eat, whether it&#8217;s <strong>GMO </strong>or contaminated with all those toxic products: <strong>antibiotics</strong>, and <strong>GMO</strong>&#8216;s and <strong><b>pesticides</b> </strong>and slaughterhouse waste?</p>
<p>Seventy-six million people in the United States get <strong>food-borne infections </strong>every year. About 5000 people die. In Canada, 11 million people, 1/3 of the population every year gets acute food-borne disease. Nobody talks about<strong> chronic food-borne disease; <b>diabetes</b>, obesity, heart attacks</strong>. All those things that are happening and nobody seems to care.</p>
<p>…Corruption is now hitting us all over. Every country is involved in this.</p>
<p>The U.S. has passed this bill, 510. Canada has passed a similar bill. India is passing a similar bill. They are even saying that if you criticize a government approved product without your own proof, you go to jail.&#8221;</p>
