November Update

Sayer Ji,
Project Founder

If you are new to this newsletter thank you again for joining and please feel free to share this with others.

Our topic of discussion for the month of November is health freedom. As you may know the fundamental purpose of GreenMedInfo.com is to disseminate clinical medical information that pertains to the preventive and therapeutic value of natural substances. By spreading awareness of the evidence-based alternatives to strictly pharmaceutical medicine I believe that we can greatly reduce suffering.

I would suggest reading the article in the right column first, as much of my commentary below expands on themes found there. >>>>

The recent heated debates concerning universal access to, and coverage for, conventional medical care have completely overlooked the fact that in America today, few if any non-drug based therapies are covered by insurance and/or made available to the public. Non-pharmaceutically driven medicine has been so marginalized that it does not even enter as a side note in the health care debate.

For example, if you live in Florida like me, healing modalities such as homeopathy, naturopathy, herbalism, and nutrition are uninsurable, non-licensable, and illegal to practice. The situation is so bad that if a clerk at a health food store suggests cherry juice extract to a customer for helping the symptoms of their arthritis, that employee can be charged with practicing medicine without a license — a third-degree felony punishable by no less than 2 years of jail time.

In this hypothetical situation the clerk has not spoken incorrectly or untruthfully about the therapeutic value of cherries. Indeed research clearly shows that cherries are superior in safety and efficacy to naproxen and other NSAIDs. The truth about natural substances, therefore, is no longer legal to speak without official licensure. The real danger is not to the consumer, but to the power structure that depends on people not understanding that there are alternative, non-patentable, affordable and easily accessible dietary supplements and foods that entirely supplant the need for pharmaceuticals.

The freedom to choose what you put into your body as "medicine" should be a constitutional right. But as Dr. Benjamin Rush pointed out at the time of the signing of the Constitution, health freedom did not make it into the letter of the law. This omission, he believed, would put Americans at great peril in the future.

Unbeknownst to most Americans that future is now here. Unless we start generating mass awareness and protest, dietary supplements will soon become regulated as drugs available only by prescription. This "end-time" of health freedom may best be described as Pharmageddon, or as described in our main article (right column) as part of an agenda known as "Nutricide."

These disturbing developments are being orchestrated by multinational corporations through the World Trade Organization and under the banner of food safety and trade laws, aka "Codex Alimentarius" (translation: "Food Law"). Harmonization with these regulations has occurred rapidly in European countries such as Germany, and is legally required by binding trade agreements among all 153 of the WTO's member nations. The U.S. will have to comply with the Codex agreements or soon face severe penalties and/or restrictions in trade — two things our nearly bankrupt country can not afford.

The destruction of our right to use natural substances for self-care is only one disturbing trend. What is more harrowing is that the use of certain drugs and invasive procedures like vaccination will be made mandatory without exemption if a health emergency is declared. Non-participation will not be an option and could be designated as a criminal act.

The recent FDA patent approval awarded to Verichip, the manufacturer of implantable H1N1 virus detection microchip/ triage technology is another disturbing trend. You are not alone if this is beginning to sound to you like the plot line of a really bad B-movie Sci-Fi film!

As the law presently stands, infection with "novel forms of influenza," like the swine flu are "quarantine-able offenses" — thanks of course to a prescient (wink, wink) executive order signed by George W. Bush in 2005. The state of being infected with swine flu can be defined as "harboring a biological weapon." Within this obviously insane set of definitions non-compliance with the CDC's prevention (vaccines) and treatment (Tamiflu) recommendations can be construed as terrorist acts.

What this all may boil down to is that the Medical-Industrial and Military-Industrial establishments have merged (transmogrified) into a seamless entity (or have revealed they were always two sides of the same coin) and the same coercive mentality and tactics used to "fight terrorism" in the Middle East have been applied to "fighting influenza." Just as the war on terror may be a "false flag" to distract attention from the geo-political and economic imperatives that make military contracts and the oil reserves and pipelines in the Middle East motive enough to kill hundreds of thousands of civilians, decimating their infrastructure and permanently destroying the fertility of their land and people with genotoxic enriched uranium residues, etc.

So too may the "war on novel forms of influenza," be it Avian Flu, SARS virus, or Swine Flu 2.0, be an enterprise founded on entirely nefarious and duplicitous motives. What better way to destroy our bill of rights, reduce our national sovereignty to rubble and usher in a global police state than to declare martial law due to perpetually mutating forms of novel influenza? You can throw away your 2nd amendment if this happens, along with all the others we Americans hold dear.

To understand how being infected with influenza has become a quantifiable offense read about the Model State Emergency Health Powers Act

As if things could not get any more surreal, this month our president declared a "national health emergency," in perfect lock-step with the WHO's insidious declaration of a Pandemic level 6 "global health emergency" back in June, over what is a relatively non-lethal, albeit man-made form of influenza. While the H1N1 virus itself is no more lethal than the regular annual flu (far less so, according to the CDC's statistics), its origin is highly suspect and the policy of coerced and/or mandatory mass vaccination will result in the injury, suffering and deaths of many innocent Americans.

Not only do mandatory vaccinations imply the roll-back of basic human rights such bodily self-determination (i.e. your body becomes property of the State), but they deny us our right to informed consent against medical interventions which may result in debilitation and/or death. Informed consent is fundamental to the Nuremberg Code of medical ethics which were established precisely in order to prevent Nazi-like experimentation on humans from ever happening again.

If you do not believe such a horror could occur in this country then you may not be familiar with the CDC's vaccination schedule which requires children receive at least 33 vaccinations by the age of 6. The long term consequences of this sort of experimentation on children are unknowable for the very fact that these ARE EXPERIMENTS. Could this be a major contributing factor to the 1500% increase in the rate of autism in this country since 1990? What business does the CDC have in mandating 3 Hepatitis B antigen vaccines in children (the 1st given on day 1 of life), when the only likely way the disease can be contracted is through having unprotected sex with multiple partners, intravenous drug use or blood transfusions, or some combination thereof? What could be the reason for this fixation on vaccinating children? It can not be because vaccines have been proven safe and effective. There is a massive amount of research indicating that they just dont' work.

A Cochrane Database Systematic Review published in 2006 and entitled “Vaccines for preventing influenza in healthy children” looked at 51 studies from around the world involving 263,987 children and found that influenza vaccines were neither safe nor efficacious in children under 2. In fact, the reviewers commented:

This madness needs to stop! The lives of our children, and the future genetic integrity of our entire species, are being sacrificed to bad science, corporate greed and what is increasingly looking like an agenda of population reduction.

The End of Health Freedom:
Is It Near?

Unless we put medical freedom into the Constitution the time will come when medicine will organize itself into an undercover dictatorship. To restrict the art of healing to doctors and deny equal privileges to others will constitute the Bastille of medical science. All such laws are un-American and despotic

- Dr. Benjamin Rush
Signer of the Declaration of Independence

Dr. Benjamin Rush accurately foretold a grave possibility facing Americans today, namely, that the art and science of healing be restricted to a select class of allopathic physicians, who have the sole legal right to recommend and administer medicines, and whose pharmacopeia excludes - as a matter of principle - all the healing foods, vitamins and herbs which have been used safely and effectively for countless millennia in the prevention and treatment of disease.

We have entered an era where medicine no longer bears any resemblance to the art and science of healing. The doctor no longer facilitates the body's innate self-healing capabilities with time, care, good nutrition and special help from our plant allies. To the contrary, medicine has transmogrified into a business enterprise founded on the principles of pure, unbridled capitalism. Diseases are created and rolled out like new markets, each representing a veritable gold mine of symptoms, and each disease symptom providing the justification for the prescription of a new toxic drug-commodity. Healing has not simply been forgotten but intentionally exorcised as it represents the antithesis of perpetual profitability which requires the incurability of the human body. Were the truth be told, and the body's self-regenerative capabilities acknowledged, the entire superstructure of drug-based medicine and hundreds of billions of dollars in revenue it generates annually, would crumble overnight. When a handful of turmeric has more chemotherapeutic activity than any drug yet to receive FDA approval, one begins to understand why the hundreds of studies proving that turmeric kills cancer are never discussed. You can not compete with free, effective and safe in a medical marketplace dominated by expensive, ineffective and unsafe nostrums.

If this degeneration into quackery and snake-oil salesmanship which is modern pharmaceutical-driven medicine were simply a lesson in what bad things can happen when Health Care is no longer a basic human right but strictly a profit-driven commodity, perhaps Americans could find it within themselves to once again free themselves from the shackles of oppression. After all, do many of not consider ourselves the very originators of freedom, independence and democracy? Have we not such great faith in these principles that we practically trip all over ourselves in our Promethean effort to export these values overseas whether we are invited to do so or not? Would we stand for less, when it comes to our own health freedom?

Sadly, the "undercover dictatorship" Benjamin Rush foretold is not simply a homegrown one we can root out from the inside, as it were. Although the American Medical Association (AMA) and the Food & Drug Administration (FDA) behave as if they are at the top of this pyramid of secret power relations, they only represent the tip of the iceberg. The United States government and American corporate lobbying groups may appear to be behind the FDA's shameless pandering to the interests of the drug companies, when in fact it is transnational corporations and organizations that are actually pulling the strings. The United States no longer enjoys global economic and cultural hegemony. We are now embedded in an international playing field where multinational and transnational organizations like the chemical company Imperial Chemical Industries which owns Zeneca and which we exposed as the originator of Breast Cancer Awareness Month in our last newsletter, or the World Health Organization (WHO) and the World Trade Organization (WTO) have power and influence that overshadows the US or any other particular government or nation-state. These larger organizations blur the divisions traditionally drawn between public and private institutions, insofar as their agendas and mandates are consistent with global economic imperatives which do not account for the self-proclaimed sovereignty of any particular nation-state's constitution or laws above its own. For example, the United States may soon no longer be able to allow the over-the-counter sale of dietary supplements if the World Trade Organization decides it violates our membership agreement to do so. (This process known as Codex Alimentarius is already far enough along, that prescription-only-vitamins are already making it onto the market and herbs like ephedra have been classified as illegal drugs).

Given this unseemly state of affairs some believe we are on the precipice of "Pharmageddon" where medicine produces more ill health than health and where medical progress does more harm than good. This process has also been described by Dr. Rima Laibow as "Nutricide":

Nutricide (noo trih side):

1. Intentionally bringing about our causing the death of a body of knowledge and information concerning the health promoting and curative attributes of herbs, food and food components

2. Intentionally bringing about our causing the death of large numbers of people through nutritional manipulation.*

(Watch Dr. Rima Laibow's Nutricide video and learn more and take action on her website: HealthFreedomUSA.org)

After all, is there any greater absurdity than a medical model that treats the symptoms of disease with sub-lethal dosages of toxic chemicals and in which there is no attempt to uncover, understand or remove the causes of those imbalances?

After all, what disease has ever been found to be caused by a lack of a drug?

Is acid reflux caused by a lack of proton-pump inhibitors?

Is heart disease caused by a lack of statin drugs?

Is osteoporosis caused by a lack of Fosamax? Is cancer caused by a lack of chemotherapy?

Is depression caused by a lack of Paxil?

Absolutely not! Then why would anyone consider it sound practice to use potentially toxic chemicals as a first line treatment for conditions that are not caused by a lack of a chemical? To the contrary many diseases are caused exactly by cumulative exposure to toxic chemicals that not unlike drugs are biologically alien to the body; i.e., we are treating poisoning with poisons!

Can we dignify this approach by calling it medicine? Or, is it more accurately described as a form of sorcery? The sole reliance on Pharmaceuticals reveals quite a lot about the agenda underpinning modern medical practice. The Greek word Pharmakon has the following meanings: "drug, poison, potion, charm, spell, enchantment," and indeed, pharmaceutical-driven medicine serves the Pharmaceutical Industry's ultimate agenda: throw as many expensive pills as possible at the problem to make as much profit as is possible. (If you can do this while generating the illusion that you are actually "treating" disease with poisonous potions, you have succeeded in casting the right spell).

In Benjamin Rush's time the medical dictatorship of which he spoke had not yet come to pass, and though magical potions like mercury and questionable techniques like bloodletting were used in colonial times, herbs were still considered and employed as legitimate medicines. Even if many wise women herbalists were eliminated as competition by being branded witches and disposed of (i.e. murdered), the herbs themselves were not categorically demonized because no vast armory of pharmaceutical drugs had yet been created to supplant them.

The herbs and foods themselves have now been both vilified as dangerous and lampooned as completely ineffectual, generating the ridiculous contradiction that we are supposed to be dumb enough to accept as truth: namely, that they are both impotent and unsafe. Given these circumstances confidence in the safety and efficacy of natural substances in the prevention and treatment of disease has not only waned, but the positive association between food and healing has been outright denied by medical authorities. It is illegal for non-doctors to make health claims for natural substances even if thousands of years of use in folk medicine and a vast emerging body of scientific research now confirms their benefits. You can not say cherries cure gout even if its true. (truth is no longer the criteria that decides what you can or cannot say; rather, its who profits more from the information being freely disseminated or censored).

There are a number of websites out there which provide free and convenient access to the massive amounts of research that have accumulated on the health benefits of natural substances over the past 50 years. The government database known as Medline (which can be searched without special permissions or charge) contains over 19 million biomedical citations from over 5,000 scientific journals, many of which focus specifically on the therapeutic action of foods, vitamins and spices on serious, even life-threatening disease.

I believe that it is only through the free, uncensored and democratic dissemination of health information that we can secure our health freedom and through speaking truth to power, expose the fraud which is strictly profit-driven pharmaceutical-based medicine.

"The doctor of the future will give no medicine, but will interest her or his patients in the care of the human frame, in a proper diet, and in the cause and prevention of disease."

Thomas Edison (1847 - 1931)
