Swine Flu Pandemic Scam

charliedw — Fri, 30 Apr 2010 13:28:32 +0000

Below is a posting from the Dr Mercola website. I have to applaud the Polish Health Minister for putting her people before the pressures of the pharmaceutical companies. So here it is:

When the swine flu first emerged, World Health Organization officials estimated that between 2 and 7.4 million could die. The panic that ensued mounted worldwide vaccination programs while government agencies prepared for disaster.

But as the world now knows, swine flu was actually relatively harmless … and the deadly “pandemic” never emerged. As it turns out, those who suspected a greed- and money-driven conspiracy was at play may have been right all along.

As the German magazine Der Spiegel reports, the swine flu pandemic of 2009 may have been engineered by the drug companies:

“In mid-May, about three weeks before the swine flu was declared a pandemic, 30 senior representatives of pharmaceutical companies met with WHO Director-General Chan and United Nations Secretary General Ban Ki Moon at WHO headquarters.

The vaccine industry was mainly interested in one question: the decision to declare phase 6.

Phase 6 acted as a switch that would allow bells on the industry’s cash registers to ring, risk-free, because many pandemic vaccine contracts had already been signed. Germany, for example, signed an agreement with the British firm GlaxoSmithKline (GSK) in 2007 to buy its pandemic vaccine — as soon as phase 6 was declared.”

Many jumped on the pandemic bandwagon, but not everyone was fooled. As Spiegel Online reported, Polish health minister, physician Ewa Kopacz, saw through the scam and declined to buy swine flu vaccines for the country. She asked:

“Is it my duty to sign agreements that are in the interest of Poles, or in the interest of the pharmaceutical companies?”

Why You Should Be Kind To Your Feet (Part 2)

charliedw — Sat, 03 Apr 2010 02:07:37 +0000

I wrote back in May 2009 about orthotics (inserts in your shoes) which correct the way you walk when the arches of your feet collapse, causing your foot to pronate. Pronation can lead to knee and even back problems if left unattended for too long. I reported back then that I was advised to wear orthotics as I was getting a lot of knee pain during my Karate training.

Having been wearing orthotics for nearly a year, I thought I would report back and share my experience with anybody else who might be having similar problems. Firstly, I have to say having just got back into my Karate training back then after a long time off, I was wondering if I would be able to continue due to the amount of pain that I was getting in my knees. Now almost a year later, I can say that my knees are very much better and training is a lot easier. The orthotics have made a considerable difference.

However, I am still getting some discomfort in my knees, so I decided to see if I could take it further. The orthotics that I was wearing were an off-the-shelf pair. Having consulted a good osteopath and podiatrist, I was told that due to my fallen arches, I was walking slightly knock kneed. This had resulted in the inner thigh muscles becoming weaker. As the knee-joint is largely held in place by the surrounding muscles, when I did any physical activity, the outer thigh muscles would pull the kneecap outwards. To add to this, during normal walking, we are supposed to balance with the small toes and push-off with the big toe, but my big toe joint had become stiff and I was pushing of on the small toes. I’m a mess I thought! And this is after significant improvement in my knees.

As a result I have had a personalised pair of orthotics made. These have an angle of about 4% on the heel, to correct the pronation. They also have a recess under the base of the big toe to make that joint work more and loosen it up.

In the first photo, you can see the raised support for the arch of the foot.

In the second photo you can see the angle on the heel, to correct pronation.

In the third photo you can see the recess at the base of the big toe to make that joint work better.

I would recommend to anybody having similar joint problems to looking into have your own made to measure orthotics made up. It is early days yet, but I will let you know how I get on with them.

The Rate Of Change: Technology & Populations

charliedw — Fri, 20 Mar 2009 14:14:01 +0000

The rate that things are changing on planet Earth is amazing and seems to be speeding up all the time. The video below shows some astounding facts, not just about the pace of technology but also about populations. As well as the massive impact of technology, it also shows facts (particularly about China and India) that are likely in time to effect the worlds balance of economic power.

Its a fascinating video, I hope you enjoy it.

Join The Fight For Climate Change And Make Your Voice Be Heard

charliedw — Wed, 11 Mar 2009 16:27:15 +0000

As per my last posting, I get regular emails from www.Avaaz.org. They campaign on environmental and sensitive political issues. They have their fingers on sensitive pulses and know when key meetings between decision makers are scheduled. Obviously the lobbyists for the polluting companies that do not want such tight environmental controls know too and they will be busy talking to the decision makers. But what do we, the little guy do. We don’t have the resources to lobby decision makers all the world and if we did, why would they listen to us. Only by joining our voices together can we, the little guy be heard.

That is where Avaaz comes in. They set up petitions for a variety of subjects, they inform their large database of little guys, they collate the names and then they deliver the petitions to the decision makers. Will the decision makers listen? Well in many cases they are elected officials, so if they have enough voters petitioning, then yes they will. Besides, it is always better to try than not to try. If we don’t act, but the lobbiests for the dirty polluting companies do act, then the decision makers will only know one side of the story. We have to try.

I do not intend to discuss the political stances taken by Avaaz as this is not intended to be a political blog. All I will say is, that if you disagree with their political campaigns, then ignore them and only respond to the environmental campaigns. However, if you are interested in fighting to save the planet, then visit Avaaz, chose your language and go to the “sign up” link.

Climate Action: Greater Than Cutting 2/3 Of Europes Cars

charliedw — Wed, 11 Mar 2009 15:54:59 +0000

Every now and then I receive emails from Avaaz, who are an online environmental and political lobbying group. I received one such email 2 days ago which I have cut and pasted below. If you are interested in preserving the environment, then please read it. Without any more ado, over to Avaaz:

Dear friends,

This week, European regulators will start setting new efficiency standards for fridges, TVs, and other products. Strong rules could massively cut Europe’s climate pollution, but industrial lobbyists are pushing to weaken the proposals.

We’ve received an unusual message: a video sent back in time from the future … by a talking fridge named “Coldy.” Click the picture to watch the video and take action now:

Green technology already exists that would dramatically improve the fridges, TVs, washing machines, and other products that each of us use. Strong green standards, according to expert studies, could have a huge climate impact–greater than taking two thirds of Europe’s cars off the road. And these standards would reduce our energy bills by tens of billions of Euros per year.

But the most-polluting companies want to sell dirty products cheaply, and avoid green investment. It’s up to us to make sure EU negotiators hear the clear voice of thousands of citizens across Europe — and not just the voices of industry lobbyists. Click below to watch the video and sign the petition — it will be delivered to negotiators this Thursday:

With hope,

Cell Phone And Popcorn: Is It A Hoax?

charliedw — Thu, 05 Mar 2009 11:39:23 +0000

The Internet has been a bit busy lately with people sending each other videos of popcorn being cooked within seconds by mobile phones. 3 or 4 mobile phones (cell phones) are placed in a circle, with uncooked popcorn in the middle. The “experimenters” then call the mobile phones around the popcorn. The video shows the popcorn jumping into the air as they are cooked.

See below:

This obviously causes concern, because if mobile phones can do that to popcorn so quickly, what are they doing to our brains? Well although I agree that there is a risk with using mobile phones too much, the videos appear to be a hoax. See the video below which shows you how it is done:

Of course there will always be somebody that wants to take it a step further, so I have added this video just for fun. Enjoy:

24 Hour Air Traffic

charliedw — Mon, 02 Mar 2009 19:09:22 +0000

This is a fascinating piece of film that is being passed around at the moment. It shows movements of large aircraft (as yellow dots) over a 24 hour period, condensed down to 2 minutes. The amount of activity is quite astounding.

After 9/11, the USA grounded all aircraft flights in and out of their country. I have been told (though I can’t verify it) that this led to a measurable difference in the Earths temperature. The USA is one biggest users of aircraft and is of course receiving many flights from foreign countries. However, if a measurable difference can be made by just the USA alone banning flights, how much difference are we as a race making to our planet when you see all the flights from Europe, Asia etc that were not involved with the USA flight ban.

Then ask yourself, if that is aircraft alone, then what difference are all our cars, trains and industry making? Questions like that can make you go mad. Anyway, enjoy the film.

Blog Action Day On Poverty: Link Between Poverty And Health

charliedw — Wed, 15 Oct 2008 22:05:46 +0000

I only found out about this by chance, but today (15th October) is Blog Action Day. The aim is to get thousands of bloggers to unite and all talk about the same subject, which this year is poverty. The aim is “to raise awareness, initiate action and to shake the web”. As most bloggers have different areas of interest, they should write about how poverty encroaches on those interests.

My main area of interest is health, so I would like to talk about it from 2 angles. First of all from a First World perspective, then from a Third World Perspective.

A serious health issue in the developed First World can cause a lot of hardship. Not only for the sick person who is unable to work, but also if they require a full time carer (who is usually a family member), then the carer cannot work either. Having been a carer to my partner, Michele, who sadly passed away after a very long fight with cancer, I can vouch as the financial strain.

The UK government gives a carers allowance, but it is a pittance and you have to qualify for it. The public policy states that the government supports carers to look after loved ones at home. Of course they do, it is a very cheap option for the government, keeps the hospital beds free and the family bare the brunt of the cost. Add to this, Michele was following mainly alternative therapies which cost an arm and a leg and the government will not help with this either. When you are in that position of having to reduce your income because you can’t work, yet your expenses are rising due to the costs of treatment, you are facing a nightmare situation.

There must be hundreds of thousands or even millions of people in this trap of just having to keep spending, borrowing, spending, borrowing and being completely hamstrung as to being able to do anything about it. Many will lose their homes. This can be an extremely lonely place to be as few people will help you. Some will even stop coming to visit you as they feel uncomfortable around illness. Many people end up isolated and feeling very alone (both patient and carer).

If you want to help poverty but you don’t feel that you have any spare money to donate, then maybe you can just give some time instead. Go and visit a sick friend. Take them out for a few hours and give their carer a break too, as that is the person who has to carry the burden of everything in that household.

However, bad it is in developed World, it has to be even worse in the Third World, where often the medical supplies are simply just not there. Many people die of diseases that can be easily cured in the West because they (or their government) can not afford the medicines.

Pharmaceutical companies are not about making medicines to cure people, they are all about making medicines to make money. They can only make money if they can patent something. I have pointed out before that in the days of the sailing ships, it was discovered that oranges and limes (Vitamin C) could cure scurvy, one the most feared diseases of the day. Hence the nickname of “Limeys” for Brits. However, if that were to be discovered today, Vitamin C could never be promoted as a cure for scurvy because nobody can patent oranges and limes. Hence nobody would pay the enormous sum of money to complete the FDA (or other countries equivalent) testing.

This means that many very cheap herbal and nutritional cures (like limes for scurvy) cannot be used in the West and the West will not supply “unproven” medicines to the Third World. It all protects the interests of the Pharmaceutical companies. I believe that some international body (maybe the UN World Health Organisation) should pay for and oversee the testing of herbal and nutritional remedies by the FDA, so that they too can be accepted as cures and medicines. Funding for this testing should be divided between the governments of the richer countries, this way no firm or corporation is out of pocket, yet many cheap herbal and nutritional remedies/medicines could be made available to the poorest countries of the world who suffer the worst diseases, but can afford the least medicines. It would also reduce the costs of health care in the West too. Somewhere a campaign has to be set up to lobby for this.

Finally, Nutronix International market an advanced colloidal silver solution, that has been proven in African trials to cure malaria. However, it has yet to be sanctioned by the FDA, so the West will not be supplying this cheap cure to the worst hit African countries. Nutronix however have taken their own initiative and are asking customer to purchase bottles of the colloidal silver solution at a special low price to donate to African malaria clinics. For every bottle donated by a customer, Nutronix will be donate another bottle of colloidal silver solution for free.

For just $10, you could save a child’s life from Malaria.

Test For Drugs In Tap Water

charliedw — Tue, 14 Oct 2008 14:15:00 +0000

An interesting article from The Independent (UK):

Drinking water supplies are to be tested for the presence of prescription drugs amid fears that rivers are being contaminated by the growing quantity of pharmaceuticals flushed unwittingly down the drain.

The Government has commissioned scientists to test river water at intake points where it is abstracted for human consumption, The Independent can reveal. They will also test drinking water after it has been through the water-treatment cycle.

Under a pilot project to begin next year, supplies will be examined for about five of the most common and potentially dangerous prescription drugs. The experts will meet over the next few weeks to decide which drugs to look for and where testing should be carried out. However, an insider said this was likely to be at selected sites on the river Thames because its water-catchment area covered the most densely populated part of the country.
