FALSE?
 Vitamins have led to
0 deaths over the
past 27 years. In
contrast,
pharmaceutical
drugs were
responsible for 3
million deaths,
topping the death
toll from traffic-
related incidents.

3. Whole Food Vitamins Don’t Kill
 The statistics come from the Annual Report of
TRU the American Association of Poison Control
Centers' National Poison Data System (NPDS),
and the findings go against the claims of most
E mainstream doctors and medical officials, who
assert that pharmaceutical drugs are the only
'science-backed' method to 'treating' illness.
However, the report highlights the fact that
pharmaceuticals oftentimes lead to death and
countless other side effects. In fact, the number
of hospitalizations and side effects were not
documented by the report. While the report
only detailed the 3 million deaths as a result of
drug use, countless other adverse health
effects have been linked to popular
pharmaceuticals such as cold and allergy
medications.

D. ASD, or Artificial Sweetener Disease is a
combination of A & B

5. Cure for ASD is FREE
 ASD stands for Artificial Sweetener Disease. The belief
A& B that there is not enough artificial sweetener in any specific
product to cause health concerns is false, especially now
that in 2011 there are synthetic sweeteners in over 25% of
all food, drink, gum and candy available. This cumulative
effect has created ASD… In fact, over 70 percent of
reported cases of fibromyalgia, chronic depression, IBS
and acid reflux are caused by consuming chemical agents
which have been approved by the FDA for consumption.
 The cure for Artificial Sweetener Disease is absolutely
free and involves no doctor, no health insurance co-pays,
and has zero side effects: throw away your sugar free
gum and candy, and then trash all foods and drinks you
have that are labeled "light" and "zero." Read the labels
on everything, so you can filter out all artificial
sweeteners from your products, including aspartame,
sucralose, sorbitol, acesulfame-k, aspartic acid, and
saccharine.

6. Pet birds die from vapors released from Teflon
pans.
 TRUE?  FALSE?

7. True
 Nonstick or ―Teflon‖ pans is made out of
Perfluorooctanoic acod (PFOA), a likely human
carcinogen. When heated, nonstick coating releases
small amounts of PFOA particles and gases into the
air. Pet birds have an acute response to these vapors
and often die when Teflon pans are used in the home.
PFOA has been found to cause cancer, organ
damage, and birth defects in animals. The
manufacture, use, and disposal of PFOA products had
been shown to pose an environmental and health risk
because these long-lived toxic chemicals continue to
build up in our bodies, the environment, and in wildlife
overtime.
 To reduce risk, the Toxic-Free Legacy Coalition
recommends stainless steel, cast-iron, or
enameled cast-iron cookware.

8. True or False?
 Contralateral
prophylactic
mastectomy (CPM)
reduces the odds of
recurring breast
cancer.
 Background: Women,
who are diagnosed
with cancer in one
breast, often decide
to have both breasts
removed in a
procedure known as
CPM.

9. False
 CPM have been offered to
women as a kind of
insurance; supposedly, it will
greatly reduce the odds they
will not get breast cancer
again. Although the rates of
this surgical procedure are
soaring (a whopping 150
percent increase in recent
years), the real proof of
whether it is worthwhile has
been lacking. However,
researchers from the
Perelman School of Medicine
at the University of
Pennsylvania have just
announced the results of
research showing CPM
provides little significant
benefit…

10. There is chicken poop in your burgers and McDonalds doesn’t
like it and have been pushing for legislation to curtail this
practice.
 True or False

11. TRUE
USDA regulations allow chicken feces to be used
as feed for cows. According to the FDA, farmers
feed their cattle anywhere from 1 million to 2 million
tons of chicken feces each year. To avoid eating
burgers and meat made from cows fed fecal
matter, always purchase grass-fed meats.

Milk thistle is stout thistle that grows in dry, sunny
areas and reaches a height of 5 - 10 feet and is
considered by some, a weed. The milky white sap
that comes from its crushed leaves have been
found to effectively cure…

15. Cancer *
The milky white sap that comes from its crushed leaves have been found to effectively
treat wound development in lung cancer cells by halting the disease and preventing
metastasis. Researchers from the University of Colorado publishing in the journal
Molecular Carcinogenesis found that treatment with silibinin, a major component of milk
thistle, effectively treated wound development in lung cancer cells by halting the disease
and preventing metastasis. Long known for its rejuvenating effects on the liver, milk
thistle is now emerging as a viable therapy to help prevent and reverse the damage
caused by years of cellular breakdown in lung tissue.
* Milk thistle (Silybum marianum) has been used for 2,000 years as an herbal remedy
for a variety of ailments, particularly liver, kidney, and gall bladder problems.

19. FACT
Thimerosal, a widely used vaccine preservative that metabolizes to
ethylmercury, contains close to 50% mercury by volume—and mercury is
a well-known neurotoxin. Based on the amount of mercury in a standard flu
shot, you have to weigh over 265 pounds in order for this exposure to mercury

The flu vaccine may pose an immediate risk to your cardiovascular system due
to the fact that vaccines provoke an acute inflammatory response in the body

agency is not aware of any information showing that foods derived by
these new methods differ from other foods in any meaningful or uniform
way,‖ still stands today. In fact, the man in charge of this FDA policy,
Michael Taylor was Monsanto’s former attorney, and later their vice-
president. The White House under George H. W. Bush had instructed the
FDA to promote the biotechnology industry, and so the FDA created a new
position for Michael Taylor. As a result of the policy that he oversaw, if
Monsanto and others want to put a GM crop on the market, they don’t even
have to tell the FDA. GM companies do participate in a voluntary and
highly superficial consultation process with the FDA, in which they offer just
summary data and their own conclusions of safety. The Obama
administration has re-installed Taylor at the FDA, as the US Food Safety
Czar.

…purchasing 500,000 shares of Monsanto…
Monsanto is the company responsible for the creation of Agent Orange, which after
being used in the Vietnam War led to over 150,000 being born with birth defects.
Over 3 million Vietnamese adults were also negatively impacted. Monsanto also
created Posilac, which is more commonly known as bovine growth hormone. This
artificial growth hormone synthetically led to higher volumes of milk production in
cows, in addition to destroying the animal's health. However, the damage done was
not only limited to animals. In humans Posilac was found to lead to elevated risks of
developing a tumor, due to increased levels of IGF (Insulin-like growth factor).
Monsanto is now the largest biotechnology company in the world, responsible for
genetically modifying a large portion of the world's food supply.

26. On August 30, 2010, The Bill and Melinda Gates
Foundation purchased 500,000 shares of Monsanto stock.
This company has driven thousands of Indian farmers to
kill themselves after they were unable to pay mass
amounts of debt back to the company. Additionally, the
suicide was so prevalent among farmers in the area that it
has been dubbed the "suicide belt" of India. Farmers who
were promised increased revenue by the biotech giant
were soon overcome with debt and regret. Some farmers
drank the very insecticide they were given to use on their
crops.
If the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation were truly
attempting to "reduce extreme poverty," like their mission

28. MSG
Monosodium glutamate (MSG), a flavor enhancer that’s
known widely as an addition to Chinese food, but that’s
actually added to thousands of the foods you and your family
regularly eat, especially if you are like most Americans and
eat the majority of your food as processed foods or in
restaurants.
MSG is one of the worst food additives on the market and is
used in canned soups, crackers, meats, salad dressings,
frozen dinners and much more. It’s found in your local
supermarket and restaurants, in your child’s school cafeteria
and, amazingly, even in baby food and infant formula.
MSG is more than just a seasoning like salt and pepper, it
actually enhances the flavor of foods, making processed
meats and frozen dinners taste fresher and smell better, salad
dressings more tasty, and canned foods less tinny.

30. MSG is dangerous
 One of the best overviews of the very real dangers of MSG comes from Dr.
B, C, D, E Russell Blaylock, a board-certified neurosurgeon and author of ―Excitotoxins:
The Taste that Kills.‖ In it he explains that MSG is an excitotoxin, which means it
overexcites your cells to the point of damage or death, causing brain damage to
varying degrees -- and potentially even triggering or worsening learning
disabilities, Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease, Lou Gehrig’s disease and
more.
 Part of the problem also is that free glutamic acid is the same neurotransmitter
that your brain, nervous system, eyes, pancreas and other organs use to initiate
certain processes in your body.[4] Even the FDA states: “Studies have shown
that the body uses glutamate, an amino acid, as a nerve impulse transmitter in
the brain and that there are glutamate-responsive tissues in other parts of the
body, as well. Abnormal function of glutamate receptors has been linked with
certain neurological diseases, such as Alzheimer's disease and Huntington's
chorea. Injections of glutamate in laboratory animals have resulted in damage to
nerve cells in the brain.”[5].
 According to Dr. Blaylock, numerous glutamate receptors have been found both
within your heart's electrical conduction system and the heart muscle itself. This
can be damaging to your heart, and may even explain the sudden deaths
sometimes seen among young athletes.
 He says: “When an excess of food-borne excitotoxins, such as MSG, hydrolyzed
protein soy protein isolate and concentrate, natural flavoring, sodium caseinate
and aspartate from aspartame, are consumed, these glutamate receptors are
over-stimulated, producing cardiac arrhythmias.
 When magnesium stores are low, as we see in athletes, the glutamate receptors
are so sensitive that even low levels of these excitotoxins can result in cardiac
arrhythmias and death.”[6]

There is a lot of disinformation the food manufacturers, the government and
the mainstream health establishment have put out about HFCS being
harmless.
Those crafty television commercials that claim high fructose corn syrup
(HFCS) is basically the same thing as conventional sugar have gotten the
Corn Refiners Association (CRA), the group responsible for creating them, in

39. True or False
To remain within "safe" limits, you'd have to
use such a small amount of fluoridated

of fluoride, and call Poison Control if you swallow
that amount… When you see a toothpaste ad, that

This is a very important point: the fluoride added to your
water is NOT pharmaceutical grade. It's a toxic industrial
waste product, which is also contaminated with lead, arsenic,

43. True or False
Background: Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic, degenerative disease of the nerves in your
brain and spinal column, caused by the destruction of myelin, the insulating substance around
the nerves in your central nervous system. When the myelin is damaged by an autoimmune
disease or self-destructive process in your body, the function of those nerves deteriorate over
time, resulting in a number of symptoms, including: muscle weakness , imbalance, or loss of
coordination; astigmatism and vision loss , tremors.
According to the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke there is no cure for
MS. True or False?

'batteries' in your cells that manage the
energy supply to the cell, and unless
you consume the correct nutrients,
eventual mitochondrial malfunction is
the obvious result.

45. DIET reversed the Dr’s MS
As mentioned earlier, myelin is an
insulating, waxy substance that sheathes
the nerves in your central nervous
system. Your myelin also needs specific
nutrients to function properly, such as:
•Vitamin B1
•Vitamin B9
•Vitamin B12
•Animal-based omega-3 fat
•Iodine
Furthermore, the neurotransmitters in
your brain need sulfur and B6 for optimal
functioning. Eventually, Dr. Wahls
designed her own eating plan, based on
the nutrients she now knew she needed
for optimal mitochondrial-, myelin-, and
neurotransmitter function, because while
your body can create some nutrients,
others must be provided through your
diet.

46. A Paleo Diet Success Story
The majority of Americans eat high amounts of processed foods, which are loaded
with high fructose corn syrup, grains, and harmful chemical additives of all kinds,
such as MSG, and artificial sweeteners like aspartame. Unfortunately, this kind of
diet is a near-foolproof prescription for chronic disease… Not only are you getting
lots of what you don't need, you're quite simply not getting enough real nutrients!
While two-thirds of American adults are now either overweight or obese, many
if not most of them are also, simultaneously, malnourished.
According to Dr. Wahls , less than half of all Americans get enough vitamin B6 and
magnesium in their diet. More than 70 percent do not get sufficient amounts of
iodine, and a whopping 80 percent do not get enough omega-3 fat from their diet. In
comparison, ancient peoples and natives around the world who have not significantly
altered their diet over time, consume anywhere between two-fold to 10-fold the
amount of today's recommended daily allowances (RDA) of nutrients!
Dr. Wahls altered her diet to reflect the Paleo-style diet of the hunter-gatherers
of old as follows:
•3 cups daily (equal to one dinner plate, piled high) of green leaves, such as kale,
which are high in vitamins B, A, C, K, and minerals
•3 cups daily of sulfur-rich vegetables from the cabbage- and onion- families,
mushrooms and asparagus
•3 cups daily of brightly colored vegetables, fruits and/or berries, which are a good
source of antioxidants
•Wild fish for animal-based omega-3's
•Grass-fed meat
•Seaweed for iodine and selenium
•Organ meats for vitamins, minerals and CoQ10
She eliminated processed foods, grains, and starches (which includes potatoes and
corn). Amazingly, she began to notice significant improvement in just three
months, and at the nine-month mark of her new diet, she was able to go on an
18-mile bike ride! This is astounding when you consider that over the past seven
years her condition had deteriorated to the point that she had to sit in a reclined zero-
gravity chair and could only walk short distances using two canes.
That is the power of nutrition!

country die because of chemotherapy, which
does not cure breast, colon or lung cancer.
This has been documented for over a decade
and nevertheless doctors still utilize
chemotherapy to fight these tumors,” said Dr.
Allen Levin, MD, author of The Healing of
Cancer.
C. 5 %
You may be surprised to learn that, despite its reputation as the go-to cancer treatment, chemotherapy
has an average 5-year survival success rate of just over 2 percent for all cancers, according to a study
published in the journal Clinical Oncology. (Tracking cancer patients in remission stops after year 5, thus if
this person dies of the disease anytime after year 5, they are still considered ―cured‖ according to cancer
statistics.)

55. Preventing Cancer
 1. Reduce or eliminate your processed food, sugar and grain carbohydrate

apply
2. Control your fasting insulin and leptin levels. This is the end result, and
can be easily monitored with the use of simple and relatively inexpensive
blood tests.
3. Normalize your ratio of omega-3 to omega-6 fats by taking a high-
quality krill or fish oil and reducing your intake of most processed vegetable
oils.
4. Get regular exercise. One of the primary reasons exercise works is that
it drives your insulin levels down. Controlling insulin levels is one of the
most powerful ways to reduce your cancer risks.
5. Normalize your vitamin D levels by getting plenty of sunlight exposure
and consider careful supplementation when this is not possible. If you take
oral vitamin D and have a cancer, it would be very prudent to monitor your
vitamin D blood levels regularly.
6. Get regular, good sleep.

that applies
8. Reduce your exposure to environmental toxins like pesticides,
household chemical cleaners, synthetic air fresheners and air pollution.
9. Limit your exposure and provide protection for yourself from radiation
produced by cell phones, cell phone towers, base stations and WiFi
stations.
10. Avoid frying or charbroiling your food. Boil, poach or steam your foods
instead.
11. Have a tool to permanently reprogram the neurological short-circuiting
that can activate cancer genes. Even the CDC states that 85 percent of
disease is caused by emotions. It is likely that this factor may be more
important than all the other physical ones listed here, so make sure this is
addressed. One of the best approaches and my particular favorite tool, as
you may know, is the Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT).
12. Eat at least one-third of your food raw. (Dr. Mercola’s goal is 85% raw)

57. All are great preventative strategies to adopt.
―Relatively simple risk reduction strategies can help you to VIRTUALLY ELIMINATE your cancer
risk, and radically improve your chances of recovering from cancer if you currently have it. You
won’t read or hear much about these techniques elsewhere either, because they have not been
formally "proven" by conservative researchers. However, were you aware that 85 percent of
therapies currently recommended by conventional medicine have never been formally proven
either? That’s something to think about. ― Dr. Mercola

58. Intermission:
A radical stance by Mike Adams
―I find it absolutely appalling if not downright ridiculous that the people in our
country who are responsible for health don't understand the fundamentals of
nutrition. That med schools don't teach nutrition is I think one of the strongest
statements yet about the sad state of conventional medicine. These people
need to be taught nutrition.
It was Hippocrates himself who said, "Let thy food be thy medicine." And in fact,
the history of medicine is steeped in the use of plants for health and healing.
The very word pharmaceutical means "medicine from plants." And yet today,
conventional medicine has not only ignored plants and nutrition, it has actively
sought to discredit it. This is one reason why, in my mind, physicians have little
or no credibility whatsoever when talking about health and disease prevention.
They are, technically, ignorant. Dr. Andrew Weil, author of Spontaneous
Healing and many other books on health and healing, even calls conventional
doctors, "nutritionally illiterate."
Medical schools have no credibility either, because they are basically conduits for
teaching the use of drugs, pharmaceuticals, chemotherapy, and surgical
procedures to an army of doctors who, in practice, are often little more than
glorified drug dealers. So if we are going to adopt nutritional strategies and
actually prevent disease in the United States, we're going to have to start
teaching our doctors about foods. This crucial knowledge has been ignored
thanks to the dominance of this highly corrupt industry we now call
"conventional medicine."

59. Bio on Mike Adams
 Mike Adams is no stranger to traditional Western medicine. The son of a Pfizer
contractor and a clinical trial tester for some of America's biggest pharmaceutical
companies, Mike grew up using prescribed pharmaceuticals, trusting doctors and
believing what the FDA reported was safe and in the best interests of the country.
All that would change when Mike was faced with his own personal health
emergency, and the pillars of medicine he once trusted came crumbling down
before him.
 Mike began his mission as the Health Ranger as a response to his own failing
health. At the age of 30, he was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes, a disease
brought on by poor diet and severe lack of exercise. As a high-powered software
executive, extreme levels of stress and cholesterol, depression and chronic back
pain were common features of Mike's past.
Searching for answers to his health woes, Mike dove into research; he devoured
thousands of books on nutrition, pharmaceutical drugs, wellness programs, the
politics of food - anything he could find.
Mike has now made it his life mission to share the most remarkable discovery he
made on his quest: the vast majority of all diseases can be easily prevented and
even cured without drugs or surgery.
And that’s exactly what Mike did. He cured himself of diabetes in a matter of
months and transformed himself into the picture of perfect health in mind, body
and spirit.

63. True or False?
The American Cancer Society has admitted that the benefits of
breast cancer screening have been overstated.

64. True
…but they continue to push the idea that mammograms save lives
Aside from unneeded treatments that may result from improper diagnoses, women screened
for breast cancer using mammography undergo tremendous exposure to ionizing radiation
every time they are screened. Exposure to this radiation is often implicated in causing the
very malignant cancers that are meant to be detected. Continual exposure to excessive
levels of radiation due to receiving annual mammograms greatly increases a woman's risk of
developing breast cancer.
Mammograms have about a 70 percent failure rate, routinely detecting non-existent tumors.
Consequently, many women undergo invasive biopsies needlessly.
Women with a continued interest in breast cancer screening would do well to choose
thermography rather than mammography. Thermography utilizes digital infrared imaging, a
safe detection method that analyzes body heat levels in and around the breasts. By analyzing
blood vessel circulation and metabolic changes that typically accompany the onset of
tumorous growths, thermography is arguably the most effective, accurate, and safest breast
cancer detection method.

 Chicken meat sold in
the USA contains
arsenic, a cancer-

that's fatal in high
doses. And, it's added
to the chicken feed on
purpose!

71. True
FDA says its own research shows that the arsenic added to the
chicken feed ends up in the chicken meat where it is consumed
by humans. Chicken litter containing arsenic is fed to cows in
factory beef operations. So the arsenic that's pooped out by the
chickens gets consumed and concentrated in the tissues of cows,
which is then ground into hamburger to be consumed by the

72. Right or Wrong?
Media reports state that the flu vaccine is
60 percent effective. Are they right or
wrong?

73. WRONG
 A new study revealed that the flu vaccine prevents type A or type B influenza
in only 1.5 out of every 100 vaccinated adults … but the media is reporting this to
mean ―60 percent effective‖ -- the difference is due to a semantic sleight-of-hand:
confusing the meaning of relative vs. absolute risk reduction
 Media reports that the flu vaccine is 60 percent effective does not mean that 60 out
of 100 people who get the flu shot will be protected against influenza; separate
research shows 100 people must be vaccinated to prevent one case of type A or
type B influenza.
 Vaccine-acquired immunity is temporary, which is why even though the influenza
viruses included in this season’s flu vaccine are the same viruses that were selected
for the 2010-2011 influenza vaccine, the CDC is still recommending you get
vaccinated again, even if you got the vaccine last year. The immunity you get by
recovering from influenza naturally is qualitatively superior and longer lasting.
 Lifestyle changes will generally be far more effective at preventing type A or
type B influenza or other types of flu-like respiratory illnesses than the flu
vaccine.

Homogenization is a process that
breaks up the fat globules and evenly
distributes them throughout the milk so
that they do not rise. This process
unnaturally increases the surface area
of fat exposing it to air, in which
oxidation occurs and increases the
susceptibility to spoilage.
Homogenization has been linked to
heart disease and atherosclerosis.

78. Pasteurization – True or False
We have all been led to believe that milk is a wonderful
source of calcium, when in fact, pasteurization makes calcium
and other minerals less available. Complete destruction of
phosphatase is one method of testing to see if milk has been
adequately pasteurized. Phosphatase is essential for the
absorption of calcium.

79. True
 Pasteurization is a process of heat treating milk to kill bacteria. Although Louis Pasteur
developed this technique for preserving beer and wine, he was not responsible for
Modern Milk applying it to milk. That was done at the end of the 1800s as a temporary solution until
filthy urban dairies could find a way to produce cleaner milk. But instead of cleaning up
is not safe. milk production, dairies used pasteurization as a way to cover up dirty milk. As milk
became more mass produced, pasteurization became necessary for large dairies to
increase their profits. So the public then had to be convinced that pasteurized milk was
safer than raw milk. Soon raw milk consumption was blamed for all sorts of diseases
and outbreaks until the public was finally convinced that pasteurized milk was superior
to milk in its natural state.
 Today if you mention raw milk, many people gasp and utter ridiculous statements like,
"You can die from drinking raw milk!" But the truth is that there are far more risks from
drinking pasteurized milk than unpasteurized milk. Raw milk naturally contains healthy
bacteria that inhibit the growth of undesirable and dangerous organisms. Without these
friendly bacteria, pasteurized milk is more susceptible to contamination. Furthermore,
modern equipment, such as milking machines, stainless steel tanks and refrigerated
trucks, make it entirely possible to bring clean, raw milk to the market anywhere in the
US.
 Not only does pasteurization kill the friendly bacteria, it also greatly diminishes the
nutrient content of the milk. Pasteurized milk has up to a 66 percent loss of vitamins A,
D and E. Vitamin C loss usually exceeds 50 percent. Heat affects water soluble
vitamins and can make them 38 percent to 80 percent less effective. Vitamins B6 and
B12 are completely destroyed during pasteurization. Pasteurization also destroys
beneficial enzymes, antibodies and hormones. Pasteurization destroys lipase (an
enzyme that breaks down fat), which impairs fat metabolism and the ability to properly
absorb fat soluble vitamins A and D. (The dairy industry is aware of the diminished
vitamin D content in commercial milk, so they fortify it with a form of this vitamin.)

93. B. Too little salt doing harm…
 …researchers found that too little salt is doing harm instead of good. Those who consumed between 4,000 and
6,000 milligrams of sodium per day--more than double the current recommendations--were at the least risk for
heart disease and stroke.
People who ate a diet lower in salt didn't experience less risk, but more. Researchers found that people who
consume 2,000 to 3,000 mg of sodium per day were actually 20 percent more likely to experience death or
hospitalization related to heart conditions, compared to those consuming between 4,000 and 6,000 mg daily.
But don't take this as advice that salt intake should be completely unlimited. Moderation appears to be key
because consuming too much salt puts you at even higher risk. Those who consumed more than 8,000 mg of
sodium per day were 50 to 70 percent more likely to have a stroke or heart attack, or to be hospitalized or die
from heart disease.
Results from this study indicate that people who already consume a moderate amount of sodium do not benefit
from lowering their salt intake. In fact, it may even harm them.
Dr. Martin O'Donnell, lead author of the study and associate clinical professor of medicine at McMaster University,
says, "When you take people at more moderate intake levels, there is emerging uncertainty as to whether there
are long-term benefits of reducing sodium intake further."
The new report, published in this week's issue of the Journal of the American Medical Association, contradicts
what many of us have been told about salt. The research team involved urges officials to recommend a safer
range of sodium intake rather than to set a single rigid limit.
Even better, of course, would be a recommendation to choose a natural salt like sea salt instead of highly
refined commercial salt, which often contains harmful additives and lacks a balanced (Unrefined sea salt

95. True
The latest study published in Health Affairs revealed that the United
States now ranks 49th for male and female life expectancy worldwide,
a ranking that has fallen sharply from fifth place in 1950. At the same
time that life expectancy has been declining at faster rates than many
other industrialized nations, per capita health spending has been on
the rise.
Specifically, U.S. per capita health spending rose at nearly twice the
rate of other developed countries between 1970 and 2002, which
means the U.S. spends more than twice the amount on health care as
other developed nations.
What's more, three of the "big killers" -- obesity, traffic accidents and
murder -- cannot explain the United States' dismal life expectancy
data, as other countries have similar death rates from these factors.

 Pharmaceutical Corporations Top the Corporate Criminals

 In August of last year, the Bureau of Investigative Journalists
also shed some much needed light on the vast corruption within
the pharmaceutical industry. A large number of pharmaceutical
companies are guilty of fraud, cover-ups of fatal side effects, and
huge kickbacks paid to doctors. A total of 19 drug companies

100. True in Wichita, Kansas
 For nearly 40 years, the Riordan Clinic in Wichita,
Kansas, has been helping improve people's lives through
nutrition, vitamin and mineral supplementation, and
natural therapies.
 Rather than merely treat symptoms with a one-size-fits-all
approach like mainstream medicine does, the Riordan
Clinic has been customizing wellness plans for individuals
for decades -- and this approach has had the unexpected
benefit of improving its employees' health as well, which
has made providing health care perpetually less
expensive.

101. True or false?
You can get all the nutrition you need from three balanced meals a day.

102. False
Today's foods are nutrient depleted, and they come from depleted soils.
Processed and manufactured foods would have to be eaten at the rate of 10,000
calories a day just to meet minimum RDA requirements for basic nutrition. The
only way to get adequate nutrition is to supplement with superfoods or whole food
concentrates (vitamins, whole food powders, supplement capsules, etc.) along
with eating healthy meals. Organizations like the AHA, however, insist that nutrient
supplementation is actually bad for your health.

103. True or False
Prescription drugs will make you healthier.

104. False
Prescription drugs only mask symptoms. They do nothing to
correct the underlying biochemical causes of disease.
Simultaneously, most prescription drugs cause nutritional
deficiencies which lead to further progression of chronic
disease. For more information:

105. True or False
 Many of the articles that appear in medical
journals purportedly written by well-known
academics are actually written by
unacknowledged ghostwriters on Big Pharma
payroll.

106. True
 Consider the example of Parke-Davis and their drug Neurontin.
http://articles.mercola.

 In this case, MECC was paid $13,000 to $18,000 per article. In
turn, MECC paid $1,000 each to friendly physicians and
pharmacists to sign off as authors of the articles, making the
material appear independent.
 This was also done by Pfizer as a strategy for marketing Zoloft. A
document was written that included 81 different articles
promoting Zoloft’s usefulness for everything from panic disorder
to pedophilia.
 The only problem was, for some articles, the name of the author
was listed as "to be determined," even though the article
was listed as already completed. They weren't helping out an
existing team of scientists who happened to be talentless at
writing -- Pfizer wrote the article, and then shopped around for
scientists willing to claim authorship, to give it a veneer of
credibility.
 Wyeth-Ayerst employed a similar ghostwriting tactic to promote
its ―fen-phen‖ diet drug, Redux.

107. What is PLU beginning with 8?
A. PLU stands for Price Look Up. The codes
identify exactly what the item is with its current
pricing. An ―8‖ on a PLU code indicates
genetically modified items.
B. PLU code is a tracking number supermarkets
use to track volume of sales. The 8, in this case
refers to Kraft brand products.
C. PLU code are generated by the distributer and
have no relevance to shoppers.

113. True or False?
The very hormone therapy drugs given to
men to fight their prostate cancer actually
spur some cancer cells to grow.

114. True
When men with advanced prostate cancer are treated with hormone therapy, the
cancer usually stops growing for a year, maybe two. But then the disease often
begins to grow again, and mainstream doctors have few if any options left to try to
help.
So why did the hormone treatment work for a while and then stop? According to
findings recently published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of
Sciences, the explanation may be unexpectedly simple: the very drugs given to
men to fight their prostate cancer actually spur some cancer cells to grow.
The new study, headed by Chawnshang Chang, PhD, director of the George
Whipple Laboratory for Cancer Research at the University of Rochester Medical
Center, and colleagues, suggests the androgen receptor, through which male
hormones like testosterone work, turns out to be far more versatile than scientists
realized. Specifically, a common form of hormone therapy for prostate cancer
works by blocking the androgen receptor. And Dr. Chang’s team found that it was
true that depriving the male body of testosterone this way can at times stop cancer
in the short term by preventing some cells in the prostate from growing. But,
unfortunately, they also discovered that blocking the receptor can actually cause a
revving up of other prostate cell growth and can lead to a proliferation of cancer
