The Failure of Conventional Medicine (4)

Big Pharma does not want you to know about the damage their drugs and vaccines cause to our lives. 

Instead, they want us to keep taking the medicine. regardless of the consequences. They seem intent on maintaining their profitability, regardless of the human consequences. The conventional medical establishment, including most GPs, also refuse to tell us about the dangers of the drugs and vaccines they prescribe to use

This is a must-see internet article, which includes 3 videos: it is entitled 'What Vaccines can do to normal, healthy children'.
Drugs cause disease (as well as death), and there are many well-known examples of this. But with vaccines, this evidence can be dramatically witnessed. Child Health Safety have recently published an article that features 3 videos, prepared by parents who saw their 'normal' children permanently damaged shortly after taking vaccines. How does Big Pharma, and its apologists respond. Often with silence. Often with dismissal - that these cases are 'anacdotal'. Often with denial - there is no evidence linking the drug/vaccine with the result. And often with over-emphasising the seriousness of the illness the drug/vaccine is supposed to overcome. Rarely, unless seriously cornered, is Big Pharma, or the ConMed Establishment that supports it, prepared to remove the drug/vaccine in the interests of patient safety. So watch these videos, and see whether you agree with the parents - or the medical authorities!

Children who have been vaccinated have been found to have from 2 to 5 times more diseases and ailments than unvaccinated children. I have been told that this research is 'not sound' - to which my response is -why is the ConMed Establishment not doing its own research on the impact of vaccines on the health of our children. And of course, rubbishing 'negative' research is a regular part of Big Pharma's defence when they are accused of making us sick.

But regardless of the quality of some studies on the harm caused by ConMed drugs, the suspicions remain. Not least, the link between vaccines and Autism. This article suggests that vaccinated children are 20 times more likely to become Autistic. But the article does much more than this. It looks at the evidence for an increase risk of Allergies, Asthma, Hayfever, ADHD, middle-ear infections, and Sinusitis - and in each finds that vaccinated children fare worse than unvaccinated children.

Avandia is another drug that has cause massive problems. Recently, one Big Pharma company has paid out $3 billion in settlement for the way the drug was developed and marketed. Basically, they knew that this drug caused heart disease - but did not tell anyone. Note that this is a Reuters (News Agency) report. Yet the news has gone almost unreported in the mainstream media, who apparently don't consider that the safety of patients is something that should concern them. This is not unusual. There is a steady stream of litigation in the USA courts, regularly handing out heavy fines to Big Pharma companies. And mostly, they remain unreported. ConMed is failing - but we are the last to hear about it. To quote Reuters, who outlines some of these cases:

               Since 2000 the number of industry settlements with U.S. states and the federal government has soared as authorities have taken an increasingly tough line on practices that may have put commercial goals above the interests of payers and patients, such as marketing drugs for unapproved uses.
Psychotropic drugs cause psychosis and death? This category of drug includes Prozac, Paxil, Ritalin, Haldol, Risperdal - and many more. They are known to cause heart attacks, diabetes, and sudden death, whilst on the mental side, they are known to cause insomnia and anxiety - but are also implicated in suicide, and violence - including murder amongst 'traumatized combat veterans.

Prostate cancer drugs can spur the growth of prostate cancer cells? Hearing about ConMed drugs that exacerbate the very condition they are given for is, unfortunately, not unusual. This article is, apparently, very topical at the moment - with a 'moustache growing' campaign currently in operation to develop awareness of prostate cancer. Is this a good thing? Well, not if the money raised through charitable donations go towards developing more dangerous Big Pharma drugs! Or, indeed, raising the profile of prostate cancer on the basis of a medical scare story. What is becoming clear is that prostate cancer is contracted by most men over the age of 50, and that most of them will outlive it naturally. Taking ConMed drugs, it would appear, is the way to ensure that you don't!

Another thing to beware of is that many health charities raise money to donate to Big Pharma specifically for the development of new drugs. And most of these charities get major funding from Big Pharma companies as a result. So before supporting any medical charity, first find out its connections with such powerful vested commercial interests that have profit, rather than your health, as their primary objective.

And we should not expect that the drug regulators will stand up to protect patients from dangerous Big Pharma drugs. The European Medicines Agency (EMA) are currently facing a fraud investigation. This article is taken from the appropriately named organisation "What Doctors Don't Tell You" - and of course, we are unlikely to hear about this from doctors, the NHS, the Department of Health, the government. The diabetes drug, Mediator, had been on the European market for 33 years. It was withdrawn in 2009, after being implicated in about 2,000 deaths. Yet the problems associated with the drug, it caused fatal heart problems, had been known about for over 10 years. The EMA was formed in 1995 to harmonise drug regulation in the EY. You will not be surprised that 80% of its funding comes from the Big Pharma companies.

Another regulatory agency, in the USA, the Centre for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has been found to have deliberately manipulated and covered up the relationship between Thimerosal in vaccines and Autism. In 2003, the journal Pediatrics, published a study from Denmark that observed a significant decline in autism rates following the elimination of Thimerosal in vaccines. "But thanks to the CDCs corrupting influece, the published version of the study ....  actually claimed the opposite, and alleged that removal of Thimerosal brought about an increase in autism rates". It would appear that anything is possible within the world of Big Pharma drugs and vaccines, and that the only casualty are the patients who take these drugs without having full information about them.

But this is not the only problem facing the CDC at the moment. There is an investigation into how this government backed organisation is spending US taxpayers money. "Although the CDC's main mission is supposed to be to prevent disease, a shocking investigation from Congress claims the profiteering agency has been squandering hundreds of millions of your tax dollars on Hollywood scripts, posh fitness clubs and amenities, parties and more".

And the former head of CDC, Julie Berberding (2002-2009), who was removed from her $250,000 post by President Obama, moved straight into a post with the Big Pharma giant, Merck, on a salary of $2,500,000. This article from Tim Bolen states that Berberding re-organised the CDC to help promote vaccines. If so, it appears to have been a profitable move for her. Berberding's other claim to fame, apparently, was that she refused to respond with full disclosure following a Freedom of Information request - which apparently would have revealed that the CDC knew about the dangers of vaccines many years ago.

Given all this, it is perhaps little wonder that it can take decades before the dangers of the drugs and vaccines we are offered are fully known. For instance, Amalgam contains mercury, and dentists have been putting this most-toxic of all poisons in our mouths for many decades now. How many of you have amalgam fillings in your mouth? Probably, most of us, especially if we visited the dentist during the 1970's and 1980's, when dentist were paid according to how many fillings they gave us! So whilst it is good to hear that there are signs that in the USA, amalgam fillings may soon be banned. Amalgam has been around for over 3 decades - and whilst moves may be afoot to ban its use in the the USA, in the UK there appears to be no such movement.

So how can the patient ensure that he or she is is safe, and not taking dangerous Big Pharma drugs? The answer becomes clear with just a little thought. Are we likely to be told by Government, the Department of Health, the NHS, or our own GP? Are drug regulators actively regulating drugs in the interests of patients?Are we likely to be warned about dangers of drugs and vaccines by the mainstream media? Are the drugs we are being prescribed today likely to be any better than the drugs we were taking 10 years ago, and which are now banned?

The answer, of course, is an emphatic 'No' to all this. Which can lead us to only one proper conclusion. We are all better off refusing to take any Big Pharma's drugs and vaccines, and instead, to look for safer alternatives.

We Are What We Eat (1)

The idea behind the phrase 'you are what you eat' is that in order to be healthy you need to eat a 'good' diet. The origins of that phrase itself was to reinforce what is self-evident - that the quality of the food we eat has an enormous bearing on our state of mind, and on our health.

Hitherto, I have not ventured into this arena. I am not a nutritionist. But like all of us, we should be aware of the quality of food and drink that we consume. And for most of us, we are not as fully aware, and certainly not as fully informed, as we should be. Much of what we eat and drink is not good for us, or our state of mind, or our health. Some is positively dangerous. And the situation is not improving, ideed, it is probably getting worse.

And the reasons are similar to the situation regarding dangerous Big Pharma drugs. Big Food, the massive food processing industries, are providing food which, for a variety of reasons, are not good for us. They are usually cheap; they usually come alongside considerable advertising. But the foods are processed in a way that boosts Big Food's profits, but is bad for our health.

And there is the same uncanny silence from the mainstream media towards 'Big Food' as there is to 'Big Pharma' - there would appear to be a cosy relationship between the Corporate Giants in the Food, Pharmaceutical and Media industries.

Aspartame and artificial sweeteners
Intensive farming and soil quality
Herbicides and pesticides
GM Food
The fluoridation of water supply

These all have an impact on our health, especially if they are eaten regularly, and in quantity.

And then there are foods that can actually assist us maintain our health - usually simple foods, and often readily available - so they do not generate profit - and therefore the attention they deserve.

Healthy Medicine (3)

This newsletter was originally published on the blog of the Alliance of Registered Homeopaths. http://arh.blogspot.com. If you have not already subscribed, or if you want a weekly email reminder of publication, please do so now.

Why is homeopathy increasingly popular? Well, there are many reason. The core reason is that homeopathy is both safe to use, and (with the right remedy) effective with any ailment or disease. In fact, an increasing number of people are buying over-the-counter remedies, as this article shows. And this brings in a third reason - homeopathy is not expensive.

Homeopathy cures where Allopathy fails. Are you being treated with conventional medicine, have been for years, and you are no better? Many people turn to homeopathy at this point of their lives.....

Homeopathy is helpful for a whole range of conditions - read these articles

Homeopathy and the treatment of women during Menopause. Look at this article, to see why homeopathy is both safer, and more effective than conventional treatment - especially HRT treatment.

Homeopathy and Bedwetting. This article explains the background to the problem, and provides information on some of the remedies that can be used for the condition.

And for incontinence more generally, a wider approach can be found here.

Homeopathy and Claustrophobia.

Homeopathy and Influenza (flu).

Homeopathy and Epilepsy - a personal story.

Homeopathy, digestion and constipation. Another personal story.

And some practical thoughts on practising homeopathy with animals.

Blockages in Homeopathy. Have you ever wondered why homeopathic remedies do not always work? The concept of 'blockage' is widely discussed within the homeopathic community, and is usefully explained in this article.

And finally, an interview with two of homeopathy's living greats - first, Robin Murphy. And second, Miranda Castro (and in particular the cream she uses for scars and keloids). Find out in these two articles just what learning, expertise, experience and thought goes into the homeopathy profession.

Is there a homeopath living near you? Go to this link if you want to find a professional registered homeopath who practices near you.

The Failure of Conventional Medicine (3)

The dishonesty of the Conventional Medical Establishment is not widely appreciated or understood. Doctors (GPs) are usually found to be one of the most trusted professions, surely they would not intentionally give us drugs that cause disease and death - would they?

Indeed, most would not, but unfortunately they are at the very end of a long trail of corruption, deceit, and dishonesty that can be found in the following internet articles - although, of course, the mainstream media refuse to report them to us.

How the medical monopoly hides inconvenient vaccines truths is a good place to start.
What is not reported in the media is as important as what is reported. And what has become clear to me over the last few years is that the mainstream media is not interested in providing us with any evidence that runs counter to what conventional medicine wants us to know.

     Media control is highly valued by Big Pharma and other monopolistic cartels. Since the 1970s, centralized media ownership, CIA intervention, and federally sanctioned pharmaceutical advertising have made owning the media easier for Big Pharma.


As Dr Mercola says in this article, for over a century Big Pharma have created and enjoyed a lucrative monopoly in health care. And they have done it by forming alliances with doctors, politicians, and scientists both within and outside government. So it is not just a medical monopoly we fight - it is a government sponsored monopoly. So what happens when people begin to refuse to 'take the medicine'? Government seeks to force them on us. And in doing so, they take our medical liberties away from us, and force medication on us.

The Media speaks for Big Pharma. Well, it certainly does not speak up for patients. Statin drugs are now known to cause many disease-inducing-effects (DIEs), yet the Media not only refuses to tell us about this, they continue to tell us how good they are - now, apparently, they protect us from Prostate Cancer! The mainstream media have become publicists for BigPharma - propagandists who are willing to publish ConMed news releases without comment or criticism - and fearful of printing the truth.

The reason for the silence of Government and the Media is that Big Pharma is very profitable.  The huge profits made from selling drugs are used to ensure that little of nothing is known about the dangers of these drugs. We, and patients throughout the world, are meant to be no more than consumers.

The 'Occupy' movements throughout the world, including at St Paul's in London, are campaigning against the power of Big Corporations, and the influence they have on our daily lives. This video explains why Big Pharma companies are probably the most dangerous of these big corporate groups - threatening not only our health, but increasingly, our health liberties. Whilst banking may be the focus of media attention, it is Big Pharma that has control of our government, and is making enforced medication an ever-increasing possibility.

And Big Pharma does not just want to sell their drugs to you - they want to stop you having access to homeopathy (and any other alternative medical therapy) too. Just look at this article, from the GP magazine, to see how Boots in being attacked by ConMed apologists! The movement to stop us getting access to vitamins and supplements is now operational throughout the world. The monopoly wishes to extend its monopoly.

So let's now have a look at some of the articles about what we are not being told about the health services offered to us by Big Pharma, ConMed, the NHS - and our doctors.

On blood pressure, or hypertension drugs? Then look at this video.

Did you know that overdosing on painkilling drugs have tripled in 10 years?

Has anyone told you that Contraceptive pills are linked to breast cancer?

Recently, we have had 'breast cancer awareness week' - but this article tells you of a darker side. And a more positive side which you are less likely to hear about. Guess which side Big Pharma prescription drugs lay on!

And Antibiotics? Contrary to what we have been told for over 50 years, antibiotics are not all they have said to be (and this is a fairly mild critique)

And has anyone told you that routine hospital treatments can cause heart attacks?

And if you have heart disease, it seems best to steer clear of drugs ConMed gives you to treat it. Especially, it would seem, if you are a dog!

The evidence against vaccines is growing by the day, although you won't realise this if you obtain your information from the mainstream media. The Greater Good is a long video that seeks to take a 'balanced' view of vaccination. If you are thinking of taking, or allowing your children to take any form of vaccines, please, please look at this first!


And so it goes on, a medical monopoly, out of control, but in control of governments and politicians, a monopoly that has little or nothing to do with good health. We are not well-served by this medical monopoly, or its complacent allies in Government and the mainstream Media.

If you are concerned about this situation, ensure you see next weeks edition of this newsletter, when more evidence from the internet will be brought together and revealed. Better still, why not subscribe to this blog, and get an email each week to let you know when it has been published.

Homeopathy Heals Newsletter (2)

Homeopathy - so safe - so effective - so inexpensive. It is a

 gift! And contained herein are some examples why this is.

Here is why one nurse decided to become a homeopath. 
Her story can be repeated many times over; and it all has to do with the discovery that homeopathy is, indeed, a gift.

The Royal Families of Europe, especially the UK family, have certainly appreciated the gift of homeopathy. 
This article shows how Royalty throughout Europe have benefitted, and the conditions they have been treated for.

And so, if would appear, do the people of India. 
George Vithoulkas describes here the stunning growth of homeopathy on this sub-continent.

Homeopathy really is timeless, and without limit - as this article suggests. 
Something of the history of homeopathy here.

Homeopathy and the treatment of Illness

Rhinitis - and how to cope with it. 
There are URLs to 4 different sites that deal with the subject here.

Alopecia and baldness. 
Usually we are told, or we assume, that nothing can be done for this condition. But there are remedies that can help, as this article suggests - and describes some of the remedies.

If you suffer from insomnia, you don't be tired all the time. 
This article suggests how homeopathy might help, including some useful remedy descriptions.

Homeopathy and your eyes. 
There are 10 remedy descriptions in this useful article.

Sciatica and Homeopathy relief. 
Sciatica can be very painful, and whilst ConMed can only offer temporary pain relief, homeopathy offers so much more than this.

Homeopathy is very safe. And it is possible to take a remedy if the description of that remedy appears to closely match your symptoms. But despite this it is always better to refer yourself to a qualified homeopath so that the selection of remedy to match your condtion can be made more accurately.

If you are looking for a homeopath who lives near you click on this page to do a search.

Some Homeopathy Remedies

The use, and over-use of Arnica
Arnica is perhaps the most well-known remedy available through homeopathy. It's value in bruising, trauma and shock, have been known for over 200 years. Click here for another view.

Oscillocochinum - a remedy for flu. 
This is the remedy I, and my family, take to ward off flu during the winter period. It is an excellent remedy.

And gardeners, how about this remedy - for your plants? 
The remedy Silica has many uses both for plants, and the soils they grow in. I recently brought an Olive tree back to life after our hard winter - with Carbo Veg - so I know how effective homeopathy is with plants.

The Failure of Conventional Medicine (2)

The medicines that we are given to improve our health, or to make us better, actually make us sicker than we were before we took them. 

In fact, conventional medical drugs actually cause disease, and death. And we are not being told about this. Hence this regular weekly newspaper - which will bring you articles from the internet which will inform you about what is happening, when you GP, the NHS, the Dept of Health, and the mainstream media refuse to do so.

Fosamax can cause severe fractures of the femur, and brittle bones. Fosamax is a drug used for Osteoporosis, and if you are not careful, doctors will still prescribe it for you. In the USA, there is actually a condition called 'Fossy-Jaw' which causes the disintegration of the jaw. Fosamax is also known to be bad for your heart, your liver and your stomach.

Psychoactive Drugs are the cause of most Mental Illness? The facts given in this article are quite astounding, and certainly deeply worrying at the time when Mental Health problems are reaching epidemic proportions. For example, did you know that in 2007 the number of disabled mentally-ill children had increased 35 times since 1990?

Asthma drugs may actually increase the risk of asthma attacks. So not only has the number of children suffering from Asthma increased over recent decades, the drug taken and inhaled by those children are probably make the situation worse.

Even drugs like Statins, which we have been told are 'entirely safe' for decades, are now known to be unsafe. This article outlines the case against Statin drugs, and suggests that heart failure, pneumonia, nerve damage - and many other diseases can be contracted by people, the increasing numbers of people, who take them believing them to be safe.

But surely antibiotics are safe? Well, no, they are not. Researchers have now discovered that a common antibiotic is a killer! Antibiotics have been found to cause a range of life-threatening reactions, including liver failure, and hypoglycaemia.

So what about painkillers? Common painkillers. This article, by the appropriately named organisation 'What doctor's don't tell you' (WDDTY) suggests that certain NSAID painkillers may become another Vioxx. (Vioxx, if you had not heard, is thought to have caused about 140,000 heart attacks, and 60,000 deaths before it was withdrawn).

And did you know that some flu vaccines has been withdrawn in Scotland? Well, it was not exactly well publicised! The vaccine was withdrawn because it was causing "a  higher than normal frequency of adverse reactions". You can see, by reading the article, how officials have dismissed this withdrawal as unimportant!

Probably a worse situation has arisen in Australia regarding the flu vaccines. This article says that Australia's drug regulator is demanding an explanation from the drug manufacturer "after it emerged the company knew two years ago about research suggesting a sharp rise in fevers linked to its seasonal flu vaccine, but omitted this from information given to doctors".


Actually, the withholding of vital information about drugs from patients (and doctors too) seems to be quite routine within the world of ConMed. I mentioned the painkilling drug Vioxx, above. The disease-inducing-effects (DIEs) of this drug were known about by the drug company long before the incidents of heart failures and deaths were made public.

Indeed, prescription drugs are now so dangerous they are killing more people than so-called 'illegal' drugs. Perhaps on this basis, prescription drugs should be made illegal.

But, of course, they won't be. ConMed drugs are too profitable for the Big Pharma drug companies. And Big Pharma companies have far too much influence over governments, national health services, drug regulatory bodies, and even our GPs and doctors. So we don't get to know.

However, you may well hear plenty of attacks on homeopathy - or, indeed, any other medical therapy that is safer, and more effective than this awful drug-based medicine. The reason for this is obvious. ConMed is failing. People are beginning to realise it is failing. And an increasing number of people are looking for alternative way of treating their illnesses, and remaining well. From Big Pharma's point of view, this is not good - it will damage their profitability!

What we are dealing with here is a system of medicine that is failing its patients. But it is a system of medicine that is so profitable, so influential and powerful within the political and medical establishment, that we are not being told about it.

For much more information about the ongoing failure of ConMed drugs and vaccines, look here.

Filling the Holes: Homeopathy Deserves a Place in Cancer Treatment

Thanks to Allison Brooks for this blog.  Allison describes herself "a recent college graduate and a holistic health nut" who is very passionate about enlightening people about the benefits natural therapies can have on multiple diseases and illnesses. Well, there are not enough of these sorts of people around! So here is her first blog.

Homeopathy is the oldest form of medicine around.  Before there were “white-coat doctors” and hospitals, there was nature. Nature provided and still provides everything needed to sustain life. Nature gives life, food, water, and health. But as time goes on, humans separate themselves with nature more and more, and the trust in using natural remedies is nonexistent. But, if people looked at the facts, their trust in conventional therapies and medications would diminish.

This is where the example of “filling the holes” comes in; what better way to explain a medical therapy from nature, than with an analogy from nature. Holes do not form themselves; either someone must dig a hole, or the soil composition is weak and then slumps to form a hole. If a conventional cancer therapy were to see this problem, it would simply fill the hole, only to see it re-appear in the future. But if a homeopathic consultant saw the hole, he/she would consider how the hole formed and then fix that problem or soil-imbalance to prevent the hole from recurring.

Since conventional therapies focus only on the treatment of symptoms, like a tumor or growth, the underlying bodily imbalances go un-noticed. If the imbalance or root of the problem is not treated, then the problem will continue to arise. This is where homeopathy steps in. Using what is Nature supplies and following the law of similars, homeopathy has proven to be a vital force in the fight against cancer.
There is much proof that using homeopathy with cancer treatments actually improves recovery time and reduces the chance of recurrence. Many doctors have recognized that fighting cancer with a multiple-layered approach tends to work the best. Nurturing the body, while using conventional therapies, promotes strength, stamina, and the well-being to combat the cancer with full-force. Doctors that are devoted to treating aggressive cancer or ones with a low-survivability rate, like non-hodgkin’s lymphoma or pericardial mesothelioma, encouraged the use of homeopathy, or another alternative therapy, with cancer treatment. Many hospitals even offer the use of in-house homeopathic consultants or alternative therapy practitioners.
