Interesting Information/Vaccines: Garda$ell: Snake Oil With A Bite

Interesting Information:  April 27, 2015

“Garda$ell:  Snake Oil With a Bite”

The vaccine Gardasil is perhaps the biggest vaccine scandal of all:

Gardasil (HPV vaccine) has never been proven to prevent a single case of cervical cancer, but as the most profitable vaccine ever created it is increasingly being mandated despite having an atrocious safety record. 

Cervical cancer is comparatively rare.  HPV issues do not necessarily lead to cervical cancer.  And Pap Smears will still be necessary and will detect problems just fine.

YET, states are mandating Gardasil!!!

Don’t fall into this industry trap.  Don’t let Merck use this vaccine to augment falling profits from the Vioxx scandal, the loss of statin drugs, and bad reports on allergy/asthma drugs.

Be sure to scroll down to the EXCELLENT VIDEO unpacking of Merck’s PR campaign to sell this vaccine and of the ACTUAL SCIENCE by Dr. Lucija Tomljenovic (biochemist), who works with Dr. Chris Shaw:  “HPV Vaccine Safety and Efficacy Issues.”  The Merck PR campaign has lied about the efficacy and safety of Gardasil, and the corrupt FDA fast-tracked Gardasil.

Interesting Information/Vaccines: Nurses Against Mandatory Vaccines

Nurses Against Mandatory Vaccines

Nurses are organizing against mandatory vaccines required in order to keep their jobs.

They have information showing their vaccinations do not impact patient health.

Here’s their web site:

About Us – Nurses Against Mandatory Vaccines.

Here’s a quote from that web site:

Research and other publicly acquired information now shows why: hospital systems are REQUIRED to have a 90% or higher flu shot reception rate among their staff, or they lose up to 2% of their funding of Medicare/Medicaid (http://www.hhs.gov/ash/initiatives/hai/hcpflu.html). While the government itself does not require mandatory vaccination policies, many hospital systems and healthcare organizations, are taking an “all or nothing” stance against their workers. You now face being fired and without a job if you refuse a flu vaccine. Or you get to wear a mask of shame and be humiliated and have your private medical information on display for the world to see. This is a human rights violation, is a violation of the Patient Bill of Rights, and can lead to major EEOC violations.

SO IT’S NOT ABOUT PATIENT HEALTH.  IT’S ABOUT HOSPITAL PROFITS.  AND IT’S ABOUT THE GOVERNMENT BULLYING INDIVIDUALS.  IT’S TYRANNY, NOT SCIENCE, NOT PATIENT OR STAFF HEALTH.

If you watched the Dr. Suzanne Humphries videos I put up this week, you’ll see the same thing with regard to her patients being given flu shots and other vaccines upon entering the hospital.  Recall that her patients were very sick kidney patients–or patients whose bodies did not need any other stresses.  But the hospital GOT MORE MONEY if all their patients were vaccinated.

New Dietary Guidelines Reverse Recommendations on Cholesterol

Thanks to John Nixon for alerting me to the fact that the new 2015 Food Guide (put out by the government) will reverse it’s stand on cholesterol–in that they are saying that DIETARY CHOLESTEROL is not related to heart disease.

Scientists have known the truth of the falseness of the connection between dictates against eating foods rich in dietary cholesterol (a crucial ingredient in the proper functioning of our bodies actually) and heart disease for many decades now.  There never was any science behind this false assumption.  But, belief systems are hard to take down some times–especially when everyone is on a kool-aid bandwagon and just keeps repeating the bad information and refuses to slow down and investigate–even a tiny bit.

Here are two sites for extra reading:  a CNN story that cites a Washington Post article, and a Mercola post.

And, here’s a quote from the Mercola post:

Steve Nissen, chairman of cardiovascular medicine at the Cleveland Clinic, told USA Today:5 “It’s the right decision. We got the dietary guidelines wrong. They’ve been wrong for decades.” This message was echoed in Time Magazine, which recently reported that:

“[I]n the latest review6 of studies that investigated the link between dietary fat and causes of death, researchers say the guidelines got it all wrong. In fact, recommendations to reduce the amount of fat we eat every day should never have been made.”

Low-fat diets saw a real upswing in 1977, but according to research published in the Open Heart journal,7 led by Zoe Harcombe, PhD, there was no scientific basis for the recommendations to cut fat from our diet in the first place.

What’s worse, the processed food industry replaced fat with large amounts of sugar, While Dr. Harcombe shies away from making any recommendation about how much dietary fat might be ideal, she suggests that the take-home message here is to simply “eat real food.”

So, today my wish for you is access to REAL FOOD.

Cholesterol in food not a concern, new report says – CNN.com.

Interesting Information: Infograph: Vaccines

Infograph:  Vaccines

I brought home the latest Free Press today and saw there was another article by a local doctor promoting vaccines.  Said doctor acknowledged that the current flu shot (which is full of mercury) was not at all effective, but promoted it anyway, especially for children.  There was a touching story of a school nurse who sponsored a vaccine clinic that vaccinated lots and lots of children in her school.  The information that followed was totally anecdotal information, a repeating of the idea of herd immunity, and so forth.  There was not one mention of the fact that everyone in power (government, courts) has had to admit that vaccines are NOT safe for all people.  Or, effective for all people.

Most Americans today have this blind trust that what’s being said about the efficacy and safety of vaccines is true.  That trust is being built by people like this local doctor, whose article contains emotion, but no science.

I wrote to this doctor several months back and begged him to watch THE GREATER GOOD, to dig deeper into the vaccine “evidence,” to acknowledge the potential danger.  Clearly he has not done any homework at all, or he could never have written the article I just read.  Clearly he’s just going to go right along contributing to this growing problem of the chronic illnesses so many of our children today have–a problem he cites in what he wrote.  His solution:  Let’s just give them more and more vaccines.

My academic background is the study of how the market and culture relate, of systems of cultural power.  This whole vaccine thing is a poster child for the market effects that derive from the highjacking of science, from the endless repetition of lies that work to sell products (profit at any cost), from the people we should be able to trust repeating these lies over and over without ever investigating them at the most basic levels (and many of these people are also profiting from vaccines), and from the creation of lots and lots of fear at multiple levels.  The vaccine situation represents for me a massive breakdown of human sanity.  That so many people, people who love their children, could fall into such mob hysteria is certainly not a new thing in history.  But it is super sad, nevertheless…

Here’s a nice little infograph that came in over the email.

Maybe it will help people start to look deeper–and that’s all I care about really.  I believe that if they start to look deeper, they’ll see the problems for themselves.  I hope that happens before one of their children gets hurt.

Turkey Tracks: Stephen Pennoyer: Snow Removal and Pour Over Coffee Stands

Stephen Pennoyer:

Snow Removal and Pour Over Coffee Stands

 

Stephen called me yesterday afternoon and said “how about a cup of coffee?  You put on the water, and I’ll be up in five minutes.”

We had talked about his making a pour over coffee stand for my pour over cup some time back when he was working here.

This kind of stand lets you see how much liquid is going into your coffee cup without having to lift up the pour over cup.

Stephen came in with three different ones he had been designing.  He had a tall one for a tall mug or for a taller portable coffee cup.  He had a fancy one of about medium height.  And he had this one, which I liked best for my coffee cup.  (Why, oh why didn’t I take pics of the other two?)  Here’s how the stand works, though there is no cone filter or coffee in the filter.

In this pic you can see how the coffee will drip through the hole and into your cup.

Stephen is such a fine craftsman.  I love to see what he makes.

I hope he offers these stands (and more) for sale in some of our local coffee places.

Wouldn’t a gift basket/bundle of one of these stands (he could make them long with several holes too), the pour over cup (or cups), the cone filters, and some coffee make a great gift?  If you are making pour over coffee for two people, it’s much faster to have two cups.

I challenge you to google amazon to see what they are charging for pour over coffee stands.  It’s unbelievable and just plain crazy!!!  Would people really pay this much for one of these stands???

Stephen looked around at all my snow and said I’m going home and getting the snow blower a neighbor lent me.  I’ll be right back.  The next thing I knew, he had made big wide paths around my house and had cleared three feet of snow from the top of the hot tub and cleared the snow around it so I can actually open the lid again.

Stephen is a very, very special friend!  He’s an angel in my life.

His mother, Mary Sue Bishop is pretty nice too.
