MS and the Gardisil vaccine now linked

Horrendous, I know, but the Gardisil vaccine is now being linked to MS in Australia.

http://www.news.com.au/couriermail/story/0,23739,26476824-5003426,00.html.

Of course we have had the Cervarix vaccine in the UK, but early reports showed that this was having enormous adverse reactions. See, for instance,

Tamiflu - more Big Pharma deception

For those following my discussions with 'the Black Duck' about the safety of homeopathy and conventional drugs, (see previous post), there is now more news of drug company deception.

See http://www.naturalnews.com/027734_Tamiflu_Roche.html

This is just part of what the article says about Tamiflu, the anti-viral drug, and Roche, the drug's manufacturer.

"Roche claims there are ten studies providing Tamiflu is both safe and effective. According to the company, Tamiflu has all sorts of benefits, including a 61% reduction in hospital admissions by people who catch the flu and then get put on Tamiflu.

The problem with these claims is that they aren't true. They were simply invented by Roche.

A groundbreaking article recently published in the British Medical Journal accuses Roche of misleading governments and physicians over the benefits of Tamiflu. Out of the ten studies cited by Roche, it turns out, only two were ever published in science journals. And where is the original data from those two studies? Lost.

The data has disappeared. Files were discarded. The researcher of one study says he never even saw the data. Roche took care of all that, he explains".


Truth and honesty appear to go out of the window when there is the prospect of selling, and making huge profits from selling pharaceutical drugs!

Patients deceived by another drug company

Pfizer has been caught in yet more science fraud. The company has apparently been found to have altered findings for their drug, Neurontin http://www.naturalnews.com/z027692_science_fraud_Neurontin.html.

An unusual, one-off occurrence? Unfortunately not, indeed, it would appear that most large pharmaceutical drug companies have been caught publishing the 'science' they liked, and not publishing the 'science' the disliked! See this link, from my e-book 'The Failure of Conventional Medicine' for more examples of this illegal and unsafe practice.

Conventional medicine claims to be supported by an 'evidence base'. It would appear that some of this evidence base is actually fraudulent - and perhaps more of it than we are aware. That would certainly explain why so many pharmaceutical drugs, given to patients as tested, and therefore effective and safe, turn out to be ineffective and dangerous.

Homeopathy - the evidence base

The detractors of homeopathy regularly repeat that homeopathy has no evidence base, that science is clear that homeopathic remedies cannot possibly work.

This is a lie, repeated so often many people continue to believe it is true.
The Science and Technology Committee of the House of Commons is currently doing an investigation into the 'evidence base' for homeopathy, and several submissions have outlined the growing body of science that supports homeopathy as an effective medical therapy. Have a look at the following, all referring to the scientific evidence:

Side effects? Adverse reactions? Or Disease Inducing Effects (DIEs)?

The terms 'side-effect' or 'adverse reaction' do not adequately describe the damage that NHS-ConMed drugs can do. Indeed to describe the carnage caused by NHS-ConMed drugs as 'side-effects' is an understatement of enormous proportions. They are inadequate descriptions of what drugs can do, and a gross underestimate of the human tragedy they cause on a regular basis. The terms make a mockery of the reality - that thousands of people every year suffer serious ill-health as a direct consequence of taking drugs to make them better.

Pharmaceutical drugs cause disease, and sometimes death. That is why 'Disease Inducing Effects', or DIEs is a better description. For more discussion on this, click here on this link.

Medical Science - the failure to protect us from conventional medicine


Conventional Medicine (ConMed) is supposed to be safe, and to be effective, because it is based on 'science'. Science provides ConMed with its evidence base, so every drug, every treatment you are given by your doctor, or by your hospital is its guarantee for safety and efficacy.

Yet the regulation and testing of drugs has regularly, and frequently failed. The drug testing system itself (in the UK, in the USA, and elsewhere) has been shown repeatedly to be dishonest and deeply corrupt, infiltrated by powerful and influential pharmaceutical drug companies whose primary interest is to profit by selling us drugs.

Drug testing, the evidence base for ConMed, has consistently failed to protect us. So where is the evidence for this? Have a look at my e-book, 'The Failure of Conventional Medicine' I have collected just some of the evidence together.

Conventional Medicine has regularly announced drugs as being 'miracle cures' for disease; and just a few years later these same drugs have had to be withdrawn, or banned, because they have been found to be unsafe, or dangerous, or even (literally) lethal. Again, if you want to see a list of some of these drugs, click on this link.

If this is the type of medicine is safe enough for you, it is widely available, free of charge within the NHS.

Safer medicine is rather more difficult, although not impossible to obtain within the NHS at present.

Evidence for Homeopathy

The Science and Technology Committee of the House of Commons are currently looking at the 'evidence base' for Homeopathy. Whether this is just another example of homeopathy bashing (those called to give evidence includes all the usual detractors of homeopathy, Ernst, Goldacre, et al) we will just have to wait to see, but one opportunity this has given the homeopathy community is the opportunity to put together a really quite large, and impressive 'evidence base'.

This evidence base for homeopathy can be seen in submissions to the Committee given by the ARH, and the Homeopathy Research Institute, in particular, and I am hopeful that the positive message - that homeopathy works, and that there is good scientific evidence that homeopathy works - will be published more openly in the coming months.

The Committee, perhaps unsurprisingly, seems to be discussing homeopathy on the basis of accepting what our detractors have said, consistently over the last few years, that there is no evidence base. They are wrong, of course, but continue to work on the basis that if you repeat a lie, over and over again, people will believe it to be true!

Unfortunately, there appears to be little if any recognition of the fragile 'evidence base' for conventional medicine, other than the assumption that there is one. Every pharmaceutical drug is tested before it is marketed. But the evidence of these trials, whilst proving they have an initial impact on illness and disease, does not tell us about the disease inducing effects (DIEs) of the drugs, or the fact that a large majority of them are eventually found to be ineffective, at best, at dangerous, or even lethal, at worst.

This is galling, to say the least. Perhaps the Science and Technology Committee should examine the integrity of evidence base for conventional medicine next.
