My apologies for misinformation. I couldn't find the article I vaguely recalled so here's one that may echo the figure I quoted:

"Health Care takes a large chunk out of Provincial budgets. In Alberta, for example, 40% of the total budget is taken up by Health Care. Alberta is in the process of trying to skim a $1 Billion deficit of its Health Care budget".

The fact of the matter is health care cost in Europe, Canada, and U. S. A. (and proly many more countries) is toooo expensive AND is always getting more expensive.


Health Warnings

Hello Earth Clinic Editors,

I am wondering if it would be a good idea to have a Dedicated Section of WARNINGS about certain substances that could cause Health Problems in (some OR all) people.

For example, under MSG as a title one could list:

"Can cause Heart Rate Accelerations, High Blood Pressure or Palpitations in some people". They would need to avoid eating foods prepared using MSG, especially in restaurants, where they may be blissfully unaware of the preparation techniques possibly?

There could be many more entries other than the above - quite interesting proposition I would have thought?:-

2) Mushroom OR Toadstool?? Identification issues for the unwary!

3) Rhubarb Leaves - can they be safely composted?

4) Wear a mask when composting to avoid inhaling fungi etc

etc. etc.........

Just an idea for you to ponder upon!

This would aid poster investigations.

Always happy to help!

Cheers,

Michael from Down Under

EC: Hi Michael,

Thank you for your feedback! We already have a medication side effects page, a medical alerts page (where we have put this post), and an MSG side effects page where we put things like that.

Dear all,

Another death from energy drinks.

It is sad that another young life is gone because of an overdose of caffeine.

Please be careful with caffeine consumption. Just because you can buy something anywhere does not mean it is safe.

I will take the risk of criticizing your post which caught me as suspicious first because it's an article/propaganda from the mainstream big corp, big gov run media dinosaur NBC.

Let me back up a bit and first say that in today's information age of global proportions, it is very important to not subscribe to "general" info fit for the masses. The liberal acceptance may be ok for many, but for the unfortunate few, like this youth, it's tragic. I am still alive after a series of misfortunes do to many factors but mostly because of being very specific in terms of identifying cause & effect. So, to eliminate any error, one must identify the problem exactly and apply a cure exactly, which is what I must always do for myself and what I do here on E.C. for others.

Case-in-point, concerning this lad, what strikes me first as a possible major culprit --Toxic Vaccines. Add on a bad modern diet of adulterated foods, fluoridated water, plus the caffeine and boom, he's gone. Because of "patient confidentiality" we don't know if he was taking any otc or rx drugs. It is very common for many kids to take multiple rx which combined with the above danger items, is like a walking timebomb (cardiac arrest).

I cannot, for one minute, believe this lad was otherwise a very healthy condition. Check out Mike Adams the Health Ranger, broadcast or archives and you will soon agree on my observation. There is way to much going on beneath the surface of every persons life to make a general and easily false assumption.

Now for the cure exactly yet generally. Good, conservative parenting, good, conservative diet & lifestyle. Moderation in all things.

Back in my adolescent days (1970's) with some friends feeling very frolic and wanting to go do anything with extreme excitability of any 16 yr old, and somebody doled out those "yellow jackets" otc caffeine pills, we make it to the theater and tried to watch a movie but my friend took way too many pills and was "freaking out" so we had to leave and did the best we could for him for a few hrs until he was ready to go home again, but still had to deal with parents that didn't know what to do for him or understand the situation. I would guess he took upwards of 1 or more grams of caffeine but didn't have a heart attack and die, but did undergo a major panic attack which lasted several hrs and soon completely recovered. Conclusion, he was generally a healthy individual without major preexisting conditions, unlike the boy, IMHO, in this report.

Zika Virus

HI U JAN, , , , , , , , I don't know squat, I just read and think critically. That is not good for your health because the folks that live in LaLa land are far happier and live longer. I am a negative person which means that I know a fraud before any one else does. I got this way by my life's experience.

I can be a delightful person, but I have to work at it. Just remember that my political posts on this site are from what I have studied and I think folks truly need to know. Sometimes I'm wrong, but not often.

Just know that I'm an educated Redneck and that makes me spooky. The guy who filled up our LP tank yesterday asked me how I know all this stuff. I told him that I constantly read. It went over his head. That is my admonition to the EC folks. Read and you won't need to ask so many simple questions.

Thank you for the link about Zika. As you say, we have no idea if it's just another big business scam. But in 2002 to 2007 I worked part time at a doctors' surgery here in North Wales and the nurses were constantly stocking up the medical fridges with 100s of vaccines for avian flu, pig flu or whatever was flavour of the month. Then we were told that by 2008 there would be a world pandemic of flu, far worse than the 1919 Spanish flu pandemic which is said to have killed millions. We're now in 2016, and still waiting for these catastrophes. Last year my husband was persuaded to have the winter flu jab. He got a persistent cough afterwards which lasted for six months. The same happened with a friend of ours. So keep taking the garlic, chilli, ginger, sambucca, lemon juice or whatever keeps you healthy. Since bacteria were the first life form after the Big Bang, it's pretty unlikely the big Pharmas will find anything to see them off! Thank goodness for sites like this.

HI U REBEL, , , , , , , , , you on the right trail. A number of years ago when I had several skin cancers, I first bought Black Salve and it came from an American in South America. He spent 3 years in a US prison for selling Black Salve to cure skin cancer.

When he got out of prison, he moved and still sells Black Salve, but he is one bitter guy, because he thought he was doing folks good. He crossed Big Pharma and the Medical field.

At almost 79, I can tell you that I now live in a far different world than I was raised in. We never locked a door, nor packed guns. All had a knife that was never drawn on another human. It was used to peel an apple.

We are now in a totally corrupt society. The Lord's coming is neigh and like the Bible says , "THERE WILL BE GNASHING OF TEETH".

We had the Lord's Supper today at our little country church today and I did not partake. I have feelings that the Lord would punishment me if I did.

Hi Debbie; I agree that additives to supplements can potentially interfere with bioavailability, but some are much less so than others. Magnesium Stearate is one. Dr. Ray Sahelian, one of the most conservative of the experts in nutritional science, wrote a rather passionate review of the potential side effects of magnesium stearate, citing some case studies. He finds that the fear that has been provoked about it is overwrought, and that people should be more concerned about over indulgence in the vitamin itself, as that could be more problematic. Magnesium Stearate components are found in nature; stearic acid is found in many of our foods, as is magnesium.

Hi Rob, I too get the cloudy film left on the glass when dissolving a capsule that has mag stearate in it and I might add it does not just rinse out it has to be well soaped to remove it. One supplement I have not been able to get without mag stearate that I wanted to use for a few nights so I open the capsule and put the contents into some water, about a 1/3 cup, and stirred then removed the scum & poured the water into another glass. So drank it but I realise that I do not know what mg were in it as I assume that some of the dose was in the scum and some may have been on the film on the glass. The supplement still worked but this method would not be good if you required an accurate dosage. I am fortunate that I do not react to the red colouring as your mum does as it is in a few tablets.

In Australia they don't list the ingredients other than the ones they want us to know, although they will state things like dairy, corn, gluten or lactose free. Our labeling rules are pathetic.

I mentioned before that my husband did not get the benefits from a couple of herbs that have it in well we found the same for B-12 tablets. I got myself a 5000mcg one with 800mcg of folic acid and as my husband did not need that large of a dose I got him one that was 1000mcg with 400mcg of folic acid and mine is 1/5 th of the size of his. Whilst they were both sub-lingual, his has mag stearate but the size difference is huge. What is really interesting is I got some results and he did not. He has started having the ones without the ms, he just has part of the tablet to get the lower dose.

There is a reason they use it and that is as it makes a cheaper product they get more sales, and I'm guilty of this. I knew that with mag stearate in the herb capsules we did not get the benefits but I still bought the B-12 with it when I could have bought one without it (won't make that mistake again).

I agree, if it's not small amounts, it's questionable whether the supplements have been irradiated or not. Especially when the supplements are shipped through the mail or imported. The people who do best are probably the people who grow their own foods. Maybe those who go to farmer's markets but there's such a waste with bpa (or bpa-substitute) plastic bags for the produce there. I really don't know what irradiation will do but my gut doesn't like the sound of it. I know when it was done heavily to government mail, workers got sick. I heard about new laws passed where they technically don't have to tell us if it's for the safety against terrorists. Still taking ACV feels good.

Tell Congress The FDA's Draft Guidance on Supplements is Bad for Americans TODAY

The FDA's draft guidance for new dietary ingredients for supplements is not only counter to the intent of the law, it is bad for consumers' health and their wallets, and bad for our economy. Set aside a few minutes on Thursday, September 8, 2011 to call your legislators and ask them to take action to stop the FDA's overreach of power! Take Action!

YOU CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE.

Tell Congress to Oppose the Dietary Supplement Labeling Act
The Dietary Supplement Labeling Act has been introduced in the Senate. The bill instead targets supplements and supplement manufacturers, exploiting a hot-button food issue to try to pass more regulation for dietary supplements. Moreover, almost all of its provisions are already covered by existing law. There is no need for any new legislation; the only need is for existing laws to be fully enforced.

FDA is seeking to destroy your business with New Dietary Ingredient regulations that are targeted to pull 55,000 products off of store shelves and require approval before they can be marketed. Tough new regulations will require them to meet same stringent requirements as Synthetic Food Preservatives which requires a margin of safety that most products can never meet. That is the point get them off the shelf and protect big pharma profits.

I have loved Earth Clinic for years, and have used many of the remedies found here with great success. However, many of those remedies will be useless if the FDA bill demanding to regulate every supplement made before 1994 is passed.

I hope that you will start publicizing this on your website so that people who are unaware of what the government is trying to do have a chance to let their opinions be heard.

Tough call. There's a part of me that actually welcomes some regulation because it is so difficult to know which brands are quality and which are garbage. Right now, it's a crap shoot - we take our chances when purchasing supplements. And believe me, some of the names we trust aren't the ones who make the quality supplements.

I'm truly on the fence about it. In theory and in general, I don't care for regulations, but in this instance, it might not be a bad thing.

Courtney, the problem here in Europe is that it is not at all about quality but government earning more money, as the licensing is very expensive, putting small firms out of business and banning a lot of supplements! Quality doesn't come into the equation! There was an article in a British newspaper, today, and as one commentator, a Chinese doctor said, who is right, Chinese medicine which has used some hearb for thousands of year or our science which all of a sudden says that this herb is dangerous? Also about the interaction with medication, shouldn't mainstream medication come with the warning that it can interact with some herbs or supplements? Why is it only the supplements that have to mention the interaction with medication? A lot of people who take supplements avoid all mainstream medication anyway!

The Codex Ailamentarius going to take away all health supplements so that you must have a prescription to buy them. And , what you will be able to buy will be so weak as to be ineffective. About 5, 000 natural health products are about to disappear from the shelves.

The EU Directive classifies vitamins and minerals in Europe as "medical drugs" rather than dietary supplements, which means that they are subject to government regulation in terms of dosage and availability. The US is next, look up Codex Ailamentarius on this site for more information on this directive from the government to ban health food supplements! It seems to part of the New World Order agenda.

It gets worse.

There are many nutrients known to be vital to optimal health that are not on the government's RDA nutrient list. These include chromium picolinate, lysine and selenium.Under the directive, these types of supplements will be banned from over-the-counter sale. It will be illegal to buy them without a prescription.

The supplements that will be available till be restricted to multi-vitamins that will contain no more than 100 per cent of the established RDA amounts, which are usually useless trivial quantities and they will be far more expensive than what we have now.

This directive will make it illegal for people to keep themselves healthy by supplementing their diet with essential nutrients.

Plus, the directive allows supplements to be made from a list of only 15 minerals and 13 vitamins. That leaves out at least 40 minerals important to the human metabolism and forbids the use of the most bio-available forms of vitamin complexes.

In essence, it means that all nutritional supplements will be virtually the same and next to useless.

The specific combinations might vary, but the types and amounts of nutrients will be identical, no matter what product they are formulated into. Our governments are selling us out to the people that are determined to reduce the population of the earth by 90%. In other words, survival of the fittest. They don't want a population that is anything but healthy enough to work between the ages of 14 and 44 years. You will be expendable before that as they don't have that much invested in you in the cost of your education. After the age of 44 when your production might be expected to fall because of health related issues you once again become expendable. Google Codex Ailamentarius and find out for yourself what your government has in store for you!!

This is scary. I've been reading about this for over a year and have signed every petition against it I get in my mailbox.

They don't want us to be in control of our own health. They know good non-gm food, raw milk, nutritional supplements and herbs can cure ailments pharmaceuticals can't touch and big money can't stand it and doctors don't believe it.

Besides, they need to eliminate the surplus population and they intend to do it by slowly poisoning us.

Any doubters should go to a very OLD cemetary and look around. There are people that lived through flu epidemics, smallpox, etc. and managed to live to 80's and 90's with nothing but herbs and decent food, and exercise, and probably very few doctors.

Grow your own hot pepper trees and dehydrate the seeds and pods yourself.

Buy bulk packs of unrefined sea salt, organic coconut oil, apple cider vinegar.

Most of the above are better than the supplements you can buy which a lot of are now synthetic anyway. Read, read, read up on natural remedies.

Print out all the great cures on this wonderful website.

Hi Granny Laura, as I got better informed I stopped buying multi-vitamins. One thing they can't achieve, that is to come home and control how many pills we take. The health shop where I often go in Switzerland advises people to take more than it is written in the bottles of their own brand and what they write in the bottle is subject to the regulations. It is a very sad state of afairs and in a globalized world you can't escape it because all countries will be doing the same thing, as it is already happening. Forcing people to go to the doctor in order to get a prescription for supplements is wrong first because you have to pay the doctor and waste your time and his, then because doctors were indoctrinated to discard supplements as useless so what is the use anyway? I don't usually go to the doctor anyway, only in extreme cases!

The two homeopathic doctors we had in our region gave up last year, there is no one to go to now! One of them was a regular GP as well but he is gone too! And think about all the health food shops, when they close it will be a disaster because they are so many now. What will happen to all those people? To all those premises which won't be rented out again as many shops are closing anyway? And the manufacturers of natural products? I don't think governments oversee disasters very well nowadays especially in a time of terrible crisis! I am not religious but I have to say: God help us!

I thought Codex Alimentarius has already been done by most food and supplements are irradiated. Someone wrote earlier that gem dealers were having gems change color in mail due to irradiation. You can verify this in a net search too. I do my best to grow my own and buy local. I hear enough folks complaining those leaving too big of a carbon foot print should be punished in ways like this. Natural resources aren't infinite for a growing population so learn to read between the lines. Don't forget the placebo or nocebo affect and our bodies can heal themselves quite a bit. I think it is alarming how many people are taking the bait and living poor lifestyles. With women not only having to work but now they also have to raise kids and feed their families.

Vegetable Oils
Posted by Bill (San Fernando, Luzon, Philippines)
★☆☆☆☆

WARNING!

Here is an extract from a long article laden with research data that runs through the history, corruption and propaganda that has been put out -- and is still being put out -- by sections of the US food vegetable oil industry as well as the FDA, concerning how healthy vegetable oils are for us in our diets. This extract, from a long article, is by Mrs Mary Enig, Phd, a famous researcher in nutrition. As Ted from Bangkok has already said, polyunsturated vegetable oils, whether chemically processed or not are simply not good for us. This extract also does not describe the effects of trans fats in margarine etc, but does describes the many other bad effects of especially rancid and oxidized vegetable oils:


Dangers of polyunsaturates(veg oils)

"The irony is that these trends have persisted concurrently with revelations about the dangers of polyunsaturates. Because polyunsaturates are highly subject to rancidity, they increase the bodyâ€TMs need for vitamin E and other antioxidants. Excess consumption of vegetable oils is especially damaging to the reproductive organs and the lungs—both of which are sites for huge increases in cancer in the US. In test animals, diets high in polyunsaturates from vegetable oils inhibit the ability to learn, especially under conditions of stress; they are toxic to the liver; they compromise the integrity of the immune system; they depress the mental and physical growth of infants; they increase levels of uric acid in the blood; they cause abnormal fatty acid profiles in the adipose tissues; they have been linked to mental decline and chromosomal damage; they accelerate aging. Excess consumption of polyunsaturates is associated with increasing rates of cancer, heart disease and weight gain; excess use of commercial vegetable oils interferes with the production of prostaglandins leading to an array of complaints ranging from autoimmune disease to PMS. Disruption of prostaglandin production leads to an increased tendency to form blood clots, and hence myocardial infarction, which has reached epidemic levels in America.

Vegetable oils are more toxic when heated. One study reported that polyunsaturates turn to varnish in the intestines. A study by a plastic surgeon found that women who consumed mostly vegetable oils had far more wrinkles than those who used traditional animal fats. A 1994 study appearing in the Lancet showed that almost three quarters of the fat in artery clogs is unsaturated. The “artery clogging” fats are not animal fats but vegetable oils.

Those who have most actively promoted the use of polyunsaturated vegetable oils as part of a Prudent Diet are well aware of their dangers. In 1971, William B. Kannel, former director of the Framingham study, warned against including too many polyunsaturates in the diet. A year earlier, Dr. William Connor of the American Heart Association issued a similar warning, and Frederick Stare reviewed an article which reported that the use of polyunsaturated oils caused an increase in breast tumors. And Kritchevsky, way back in 1969, discovered that the use of corn oil caused an increase in atherosclerosis.

Benefits of saturated fats

Foods containing trans fat sell because the American public is afraid of the alternative—saturated fats found in tallow, lard, butter, palm and coconut oil, fats traditionally used for frying and baking. Yet the scientific literature delineates a number of vital roles for dietary saturated fats—they enhance the immune system, are necessary for healthy bones, provide energy and structural integrity to the cells, protect the liver and enhance the bodyâ€TMs use of essential fatty acids. Stearic acid, found in beef tallow and butter, has cholesterol lowering properties and is a preferred food for the heart. As saturated fats are stable, they do not become rancid easily, do not call upon the bodyâ€TMs reserves of antioxidants, do not initiate cancer, do not irritate the artery walls.

Your body makes saturated fats, and your body makes cholesterol—about 2000 mg per day. In general, cholesterol that the average American absorbs from food amounts to about 100 mg per day. So, in theory, even reducing animal foods to zero will result in a mere 5% decrease in the total amount of cholesterol available to the blood and tissues. In practice, such a diet is likely to deprive the body of the substrates it needs to manufacture enough of this vital substance; for cholesterol, like saturated fats, stands unfairly accused. It acts as a precursor to vital corticosteroids, hormones that help us deal with stress and protect the body against heart disease and cancer; and to the sex hormones like androgen, testosterone, estrogen and progesterone; it is a precursor to vitamin D, a vital fat-soluble vitamin needed for healthy bones and nervous system, proper growth, mineral metabolism, muscle tone, insulin production, reproduction and immune system function; it is the precursor to bile salts, which are vital for digestion and assimilation of fats in the diet. Recent research shows that cholesterol acts as an antioxidant. This is the likely explanation for the fact that cholesterol levels go up with age. As an antioxidant, cholesterol protects us against free radical damage that leads to heart disease and cancer. Cholesterol is the bodyâ€TMs repair substance, manufactured in large amounts when the arteries are irritated or weak. Blaming heart disease on high serum cholesterol levels is like blaming firemen who have come to put out a fire for starting the blaze.

Cholesterol is needed for proper function of serotonin receptors in the brain. Serotonin is the body's natural "feel-good" chemical. This explains why low cholesterol levels have been linked to aggressive and violent behavior, depression and suicidal tendencies. Motherâ€TMs milk is especially rich in cholesterol and contains a special enzyme that helps the baby utilize this nutrient. Babies and children need cholesterol-rich foods throughout their growing years to ensure proper development of the brain and nervous system. Dietary cholesterol plays an important role in maintaining the health of the intestinal wall, which is why low-cholesterol vegetarian diets can lead to leaky gut syndrome and other intestinal disorders.

Animal foods containing saturated fat and cholesterol provide vital nutrients necessary for growth, energy and protection from degenerative disease. Like sex, animal fats are necessary for reproduction. Humans are drawn to both by powerful instincts. Suppression of natural appetites leads to weird nocturnal habits, fantasies, fetishes, bingeing and splurging.

My own take on saturated fat intake is that since it is now all but impossible to guarantee that animal fats or meat sources used in our western diets like pork, beef and chicken can no longer be guaranteed to be grass fed, in their natural habitat and that their food and water comes from pollution free, unleached soils etc as was the case in the 19th century -- I would always therefore prefer virgin coconut oil as my favourite saturated oil source.

HI U GOOD PEOPLE DOIN,,,,,,, as all know I squeeze the pig until I get the last squeal. Well, I found a company that runs a rigorous mold test on their coffee beans. Some how or nother, I violated an EC rule because that post was not published. Not a deal. What I have learned is that you contact the individual coffee suppliers and they will produce that test or tell you to " Trust them". So we are where I know where to buy mold free coffee and you don't. That is called TOUGH SHIDSKEY. "Have a good day", which is Southern for ...... Go to............

HI U OLE PATOOTS DOIN, , , , , , , , , , ,

Got some troubles and it's got me to thinking after reading Mark's post about Borax and it's benefits and tribulations. Folks come to this site to learn about specific solutions to their problems, but I got another idea. Why don't we all get together and inform healthy folks how to stay healthy and avoid these trials and tribulations. I have a few ideas and most of you do also. I have tried to do this with my garden posts. It all begins with what you eat.

We all know about ACV, Borax, H2O2, Colloidal Silver, Magnesium, Water, Sweat, Sleep, Alkaline, Exercise , Breathing, Lymph flow, Detoxing, Cleansing, Baking Soda , and many, many others that will avoid illness. Let's tell these stories.

I bet Sweet Thang, Deirdre, would jump on this with both feet. We need a health site for folks to inform their neighbors how to avoid all these ailments we constantly talk about. Do these things and stay healthy. Then if stuff happens, this site will help them. First, lets change our mission.

I say all this because I constantly try to get our kids and grand children to do things to avoid health problems. EC has not done that and I think it's time. Let's get this site into a pro-active mode instead of being re-active only.

I can tell you that Mama to Many tries hard to keep her kids healthy, as do all. We just need to change our priorities. I bet folks will buy in.

Hi ORH,

Thats a great idea! It's all about education and knowledge but I guess the big Pharmas and food producers prefer us to be ignorant! I love reading - and came across Dr Franz Meyr, an Austrian doctor who died in 1965 and was really shocked at what he saw- doctors prescribing only for illness and never for good health. Here in Britain I believe medical students study 5 hours of nutrition in a 6 year course!!! Go figure as they say! In 'The Magnesium Miracle' by Dr Carolyn Dean, she quotes a speaker from the National Institute of Health - their " guidelines on RDA for nutrients is only to prevent deficiency diseases like scurvy etc and .... NIH has no interest in supplements for the prevention and treatment of disease. " Well, I guess that sort of says it all.

And it is sad to read some people on this site who want help for families and yet know the family will reject any non " medical" interventions however much positive evidence there is to support them. When I was at school back in the 60s, we had a 3 hour weekly lesson on what was called Domestic Science where we learnt all the different food categories as in protein, vitamins etc and which foods contained what. We also had to plan and cook a well balanced healthy and economical meal, usually 2 courses, every week which we then took home for our families. This programme lasted from when I was 11 to 16 years old so was a very good base knowledge and fired up my interest in food and nutrition, ( and later organic vegetable/ fruit gardening). But now that doesn't happen, they just have to learn to design a food poster or make a pizza with packaged food.

We have come too far from nature sadly but it sounds like you really love your garden and grow some interesting stuff! What do you do with the peanuts once you've boiled them?? Not that I can grow them here in the hills of beautiful North Wales, but I'm curious. I always reads your posts as you come across as really positive and I always end up smiling. So thanks for that. And I do hope your fight with your health goes well and you're winning! I think this site is brilliant and there are quite a few posts suggesting what has helped people stay healthy too. But so many people are frightened of challenging their doctor's ideas and, over here at least, few doctors are happy if you tell them what you've read or discovered that differs from the established theory about different ailments, they seem to prefer you to be dumb and compliant ( although some of them are open minded).

Are you suggesting that there could be a section in EC called something like " how to stay healthy" as well as all the help for ailments? I think so many people are confused by what's on sale in the supermarkets and touted as healthy when it's just processed junk But there are also lots of people now questioning what's being described as healthy and trying to learn what is. Let's hope that just continues to grow, like your peanuts:-}. Ps What is a patoot?

GMO
Posted by Robert Henry (Ten Mile , Tn. ) on 07/29/2015

HI U TIMH, , , , , , , , , , , , , I applaud your endeavor, but if you have watched the videos that are exposing how ignorant the mileanials are ........ your campaign is without hope. That is the reason we raise a garden.

In 1981 I went to Mexico City to interview a company in which I would build a paper mill for them. We were met at the plane and went to an outdoor restaurant for a strawberry salad. It was great, but that night I experienced Montezuma's revenge. I was well the next day because my illness was due to using human waste on the strawberries. That is not the case with GMO's as you state. You will be sick for your entire life.

All the big farmers here in East Tenn raise GMO crops that they spray with Round-up before planting and on the crop to make it ripen all at once. Our rural electrical company is now spraying all right aways with Round-up. We used to catch many fish in front of our cabin. No more.

It truly is getting spooky. The creek at our farm no longer has fish in it due to herbicides sprayed on the farm lands. We are committing suicide. I wish I had the answer. I don't.

Hey all, just wanted to post a concern about the people that help us without using big pharma. I know our Ted has suffered some issues, I hope he was not a target of someone, I do know he was jailed not long ago and I don't put anything past the establishment. Bill Thompson may want to give Earth Clinic a ( TRUSTED CONTACT ) other than himself. As far as that goes there maybe several here that need second trusted contact.

I have had my encounters with government ( Though it was not because of natural medicines, it was something else they don't want people to know about and not something I can or will reveal here ) I can tell you that they will stop at nothing to shut you up, if they don't want you talking about it.http://www.conspiracyclub.co/2015/07/11/3-alternative-health-doctors-found-dead/

I have suffered much verbal abuse, threats, intimidations, false accusations over the last 2 decades and under duress from a debilitating illness. I must live with extreme caution as I am without financial or social props. Living alone, poor, and sick is a dangerous place to be. Quite a different situation than the Alt Med Pros, but still a danger. I have an economic indoor vid cam so to keep my apt secure and have firearms if needed. Otherwise I walk in courage & love knowing that I am not guilty of others sins & crimes, and moreover, that perpetrators give their authority (energy) to their victims. These evil people vibrate w/ a very low density energy, and will, upon the death of their body, go to low frequency places "where there will be wailing and gnashing of teeth". It is also very important to understand that such a desperate need for money is positive evidence of a neglect of love & discipline during the early years of development. Monumental psychological or spiritual insecurities leaves the young adult with the reality of Beauty-Truth-Love taken away and replaced by sex-money-death. So the pain of never loved nor corrected drives them into violent and desperate situations. To remedy this major error in creation, at some point in time the maturing child, young adult, or adult must relinquish the futile sense of self-importance (I disserve to be loved). This sense of self-importance gives the victim authority to act out in retaliation (Take terrorism for example); yes, I believe all perpetrators are victims first. They feel a deep need and assurance to "do unto others as they have done unto me". Relinquishing self-importance is kinda like the religious principle of denying oneself (picking up the cross). The void left from removing self-importance needs replaced by the now modern maxim of "I stand in the power of my divine inner self's sovereignty", this is like the ultimate or all-time civil or personal human right.

These 3 honest, goodhearted, well indented folks, served their families and neighbors w/ dignity, are well off now; it's the loved ones left behind that need assurance.

If I ever get able, I have determined that, if possible, I should continue my formal studies in Psychology so as a means of defense from being labeled or diagnosed with mental illness (which has already happened in conspiratorial fashion involving 3 parties), only avoid incarceration.

I am very delighted to be a part of the E.C. community and hope to continue here for many yrs. All you regulars here I consider dear friends, and hope not to leave here under swift & mysterious circumstances as the good doctors. I try to keep it all low key yet still honest, but the truth needs be told and one must face some risk of consequences.

I suppose the state of the world is now steaming like a pressure cooker and the only outlet for alleviation is outright world war. Too many people, not enough leaders, and too few principles are a toxic stew of social unrest, corruption, tragedy, etc.

HI U GOOD PEOPLE DOIN, , , , , , , , , , , , a good number of alternative doctors have died this past month. There is a reason and I won't go there, but I want you to.

If BIG BROTHER can do this, then he can shut down this website in a minute. Go on the web and search until you know what is happening and why. Life is getting very interesting. If you don't understand, then read the novels 1984 and BRAVE NEW WORLD, which were written some 60 years ago. We are now into Revelations and that was written 1900+ years ago.

HI U OLE PATOOTS DOIN, , , , , , naturally I have a sinister plot to reveal. With the death of these all these alternative doctors, the perpetrators have messed in their mess kit. They have opened pandora's box for all to see.

Several of these doctors were concerned with the protein NAGALASE being introduced into folks body via vaccinations. This compound kills your immune system and so kids become autistic and old folks get cancer. All these doctors are now dead. So how did this happen, and how do we get to the bottom of this saga?

First have you ever heard of a Nagalase test? I thought not and neither had I until this story broke. This test will tell you if you are going to have cancer, not if you have cancer. Our God fearing medical folks don't want you until you are in Stage 3 or 4 because that's where the money's at.

If your immune system is up to snuff then you will never have cancer. Chemo and radiation kills your immune system so you die from pneumonia and not cancer. Hooray for our side. But by introducing Nagalase into your body via vaccinations then you got lifetime immune problems and the doctors have a full waiting room.

My good friends, that is the reason we don't do flu shots , etc., etc. We work our fannies off raising a garden so we don't have to eat GMO processed foods. Most folks on this site address problems, we try to do stuff so we don't have to do that.

Excuse my rant, but several of these doctors I have followed and no way did they have a heart attack. You talking about the brightest of the brightest.

Our country is so corrupt that I want to cry.

Hey Robert Henry and everyone. This gets more interesting everyday Robert Henry. Like I said before they will stop at nothing to silence you, if you are going against their agenda.

I guess, I can consider myself lucky, because I have not been killed yet. Instead what I went through and have still been going through until this day is enough to make a man have hatred toward the world. But St. Augustine once said ( holding onto anger is like drinking poison and hoping the other person dies ) I try not to hate for my own sane mind and health, but to say, I am not bitter, would be a stretch. Just like the fellow that you got your medicine cream from, I felt as though, I was helping my neighbors, making people aware of the bad people. But the guys that wore the badges and robes did not see it that way. They could not get to me, so they set a trap on one of my family members, who in return to keep their self out of trouble set a trap for me. Yea, I made the mistake of thinking I could trust.

Now, before y'all go to thinking, I am some harden criminal ( far from it ) It was a minor traffic offense and I was not even driving a car. So silly, but yet so serious, when you receive a call and you had a little of the shine wine, but you are just going up the road a quarter mile out in the country where there is not even a red light no yellow or white lines painted on that road and you drive an all terrain vehicle to help a family member out. And just by chance there sits two guys, who wear badges. Now I did turn around and go the other way, because I knew it was a set up, They had been watching me for over two years at this point. I was chased down by flashing blue lights. I stopped as soon as they were behind me.

So this where interesting, First thing that the first man with the badge says to me is ( you only stopped, because you thought I was going to wreck you ) I said ( No I stopped as soon as I seen your blue lights ) He says ( no, you knew I would have wrecked you ) I take this a the first threat on my life. Why would anyone in authority position wreck a guy on a 4 wheeler on an asphalt road for such a minor offense. Had I ran, he was planning on wrecking me, if this didn't kill me it sure would have hurt me very bad. I was arrested, charge just as if I was driving a car. While in the jail, they remove a picture of my wife from my wallet ( I noticed this the next day ) That was threat number two, if we can't shut you up, we will go after your family. Now with no other record ever, on anything, including speeding tickets, I am thinking this thing with a good lawyer will be reduced down. I went to two different lawyers with a blank check, both told me it was in my best interest to plead guilty and not fight it. So I did and the guy wearing the robe made me fully aware that he could give me one year in state prison for this. ( that was threat number three ) Now keep in mind, people get these things reduced down on a first offense, even when they are driving 2000 pound cars. While on probation, I had to take mandatory drug test. These things are always in a bathroom by yourself. Not mine, no sir e . ( I was watched by the guys that wear the badges, they stood in front of me as I did the pee pee in the cup thing ) Now, I found out later that the only people that are ever observed are you harden criminals that are on what they call intensive probation.( that was threat number four ) Threat number five and the most disturbing one, I was never given a release paper stating that I had completed my probation and paid all my fines ( $3000.00 ) I ask for a letter, they refused to give me one, everybody else gets those letters. They said my case was a different probation company and that company did not give out letters of completion.

Since all of this has happen in a COUNTY population of 16,000, I have had resumes thrown back in my face, my wife hair saloon suffered a mysterious outside water leak under the ground that cost her $500.00. The guys that wear the badges look at me like they want to shoot me where, I stand and countless other bad things have happen. A friend of mine got pulled over in a big city in a car for the same offence and his was reduced down, he never went through any of this. the population of that CITY was over 200,000. If you have never believed in corruption, my story should change your mind about the way the government works. I am probably only alive and free from jail today because in that big city 45 minutes east of me, I went to the newspaper there and told my story to them and explained why I was set up in the first place. They truly did believe me, because this does not happen to anyone else.

Notice, I have still have not told what I was exposing them for, that's because when I talk about it to anyone, any where even when I am out of their area it seems they know I am talking and I get little visits at my work place and cars that tale me. And yes, I am aware they will know that I wrote this , but this needs to be told to the world. All of this occurred in 2002, over 12 years ago, and I still pay the price daily.

That's my story and I'm sticking to it. Robert Henry ( Truth seekers are always hated and rarely appreciated )

Thank all of you on this site that seek the truth!

May god bless you all.

HI U REBEL, , , , , , , , sorry to hear of your plight. I have learned that a high dollar lawyer is your best bet. Ours was Bob Richie of Knoxville and you can Google him. He was a class act and let us live where we do after two permeant civil injunctions.

Don't go the criminal route, do the civil.... where you can clean out their bank account. Go before a judge and not the low lifes that are on the jury. If they violate the injunction then it's 8 days in jail. No trial, as in monopoly ... go directly to jail. For some reason that works because not only will they have a criminal record but their employer will fire them.

My tractor driver and I both pack heat. We try to be civil and demand that from others. All know this and we have no problems. Life is getting very interesting. I am just glad the we live on the frontier. We have 12 cameras around our lake house and we set off our security system periodically to let folks know that sheet happens.

This is a far cry from the 40's and 50's when we were young and nobody locked cars nor doors.

As all now say....."HAVE A NICE DAY".

Robert Henry..first of all thank you so much for caring about others enough to share your knowledge with us. Your posts are always interesting. I love the stories. But today your post made me want to cry with you. The evil and greed in our world is beyond frightening. My dad was in the navy, and often said he didnt trust our govt. Sometimes we wondered if he was maybe a little "off" but yet somehow down deep had that gut feeling that he was probably right, because he was right about so many things. He was into healthy living and growing food. Man, how we kids hated working in the garden ever summer. But now as an adult I love it. He never let us have any sugar...and because of him our teeth are in great shape.anyhow--please keep up the good work. Im sure I speak for many others who appreciate you, and actually every poster on this site who shares their health remedies.

Ebola
Posted by Robert Henry (Ten Mile, Tn.) on 10/15/2014

HI U BIRDS DOIN, , , , , , , , was with a bunch of bright folks today while getting my last Alpha Liopic Acid I.V. and the Ebola subject came up. Several things I was not aware of. First the Ebola countries are loaded with high dollar minerals. We talking trillions. All of a sudden the IMF says they will contribute a few hundred million if they can get their hands on that gold mine.

The World Health Organization has confiscated the loads of Collodial Silver shipped to help these people. Why?

Good people there is a bugger in the wood pile (PC version). Everyone is looking for a conspiracy. We may have found one. The phrase , " follow the money" works most times and it may in this instance.

My advice is follow the bankers and their religion, then you will know if this is a contrived crisis. The tin horn Dictators have kept the bankers out of their countries up to this point. They now may have been out flanked.

Ebola

Some more information about Ebola coming out of the "quiet media" in the last few days.

I'm wondering why Liberia's Ministry of Health has already pre-ordered over 1 million hooded Hazmat suits to also include face masks, heavy duty gloves, boots etc. Their pre-order also includes 84, 000 body bags. And that's just a six month sitrep forecast for Liberia by their government.

Here's the report from the Liberian Ministry of Health. Look for the table in blue -- Summary of Stock -- near the bottom of the pdf document:
