- Throughout the world people are showing a marked reluctance to take pharmaceutical drugs and vaccines - because of their harmful side effects.
- And throughout the world conventional medicine is developing reasons for forcing people to take these drugs they do not want, and do not need!
Caster Semenya is a South African athlete who wins races rather too easily for some people. She is a a multiple Olympic, World and Commonwealth champion. The International Association of Athletic Federation (IAAF) has ruled that women who have high levels of testosterone, and who show 'differences of sexual development' (DSD) must now take drugs if they wish to compete in athletics. Caster has appealed the IAAF's new rules at the Court of Arbitration for Sport but the court has rejected her appeal.
I am not dealing here with the dilemma for the athletics world. Nor will I be dealing with the alleged discriminatory aspects of the case. Both are being discussed in the mainstream media. But what the media is not discussing, and probably won't comment on, is that athletes are being subjected to forced drugging, at least any woman who does not meet conventional gender norms.
So what drugs are the IAAF imposing on Caster Semenya? And, as all pharmaceutical drugs are harmful to human health, what are the side effects of these drugs?
There are two types of drug used by conventional medicine to reduce testosterone levels
- Antiadrogen drug, which stop the body from using testosterone, and
- Luteinizing hormone-releasing hormones, which decreases the amount of testosterone produced by the body.
Casodex is a widely used antiadrogen drug with a long list of serious and harmful side effects. These are outlined in this Drugs.com webpage and include the following. (I apologise for the length of this shortened list, but for anyone with the necessary endurance to read them all should go to the website).
- gynecomastia
- nausea and vomiting
- anorexia
- abdominal pain
- nausea
- mastalgia
- Bloating or swelling of face, arms, hands, lower legs, or feet
- blood in the urine
- blurred vision
- body aches or pain
- cough producing mucus
- difficult or labored breathing
- dizziness
- dryness or soreness of the throat
- fever
- headache
- lower back or side pain
- nervousness
- painful or difficult urination
- rapid weight gain
- slow or fast heartbeat
- tender, swollen glands in the neck
- tightness in the chest
- trouble with swallowing
- Abnormal growth filled with fluid or semisolid material
- ankle, knee, or great toe joint pain
- arm, back, or jaw pain
- bleeding from the rectum or bloody stools
- blindness
- burning, tingling, numbness, or pain in the hands, arms, feet, or legs
- chest pain, discomfort, tightness or heaviness
- confusion
- decreased vision
- dilated neck veins
- fainting
- irregular breathing or heartbeat
- joint stiffness or swelling
- lightheadedness
- loss of appetite
- lump or swelling in the abdomen or stomach
- no blood pressure or pulse
- pain or discomfort in the arms, jaw, back, or neck
- painful blisters on the trunk of the body
- persistent, non-healing sores
- stopping of the heart
- tumour (cancer?)
- unconsciousness
- unusual tiredness or weakness
- bleeding gums
- hives or welts, itching, skin rash
- increased menstrual flow or vaginal bleeding
- paralysis
When the Drugs.com website states that some of these side effects are 'less common' or 'rare' it should be remembered that many studies have found that only between 10% (at best) and 1% of adverse drug reactions are ever reported by doctors!
So what about Luteinizing hormone-releasing hormones? The side effects of one of these drugs, Cetrorelix, is reported by Drugs.com.
- Headache
- Abdominal or stomach pain
- continuing or severe nausea, vomiting or diarrhoea
- decreased amount of urine
- feeling of indigestion
- moderate to severe bloating
- severe pelvic pain
- rapid weight gain
- shortness of breath
- swelling of lower legs
Doctors are then warned that these drugs can cause endocrine problems, such as mild to moderate ovarian hyper stimulation syndrome and severe ovarian hyper stimulation syndrome, and gastrointestinal problems, such as nausea, and
"Systemic allergic/pseudo-allergic reactions including life-threatening anaphylaxis" (my emphasis).
So these are the drugs that the IAAF want to force Caster Semenya to take, against her wishes, and the possible harm they can cause her. And whenever we read the side effects of any pharmaceutical drug or vaccine we must remember that these are just the 'known' side effects. As the Drugs.com website always warns, at the bottom of their pages.
"Some side effects may not be reported."
And, of course, other adverse reactions have not yet been accepted or admitted by the pharmaceutical companies (which own and control the Drugs.com website) - so these are not mentioned either!
