Morgellons Disease: CDC Says Weird Skin Disease is Probably Mental Delusion

January 26, 2012

Morgellons disease is a very strange condition characterized by brightly colored “fibers” that seem to appear out of nowhere underneath affected individuals’ skin, as well as pain and lesions. Morgellons patients typically become very agitated by their condition and many have clamored for a rigorous scientific study that would take their condition seriously and stop tossing it out as merely a mental illness. They finally got their first wish for a scientific study, but many are still extremely disappointed about the outcome of that study.

Researchers from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control conducted a study of patients in the Bay area affected by Morgellons disease. However, they ultimately concluded that Morgellons is likely a mental illness and should be treated with psychiatric drugs similar to those prescribed for people who suffer from delusions. Previous hypotheses about the causes of Morgellons included environmental pollutants or infectious disease. However, the CDC researchers say that is very likely not the cause of Morgellons. Most affected by Morgellons aren’t ready to accept the CDC’s findings.

Other doctors aren’t convinced that Morgellons is simply a delusion of the mind. Dr. Raphael Stricker, a Lyme disease specialist who also says he is affected by the disease. The CDC researchers point out that there is no doubt that Morgellons patients are very sick and that many experience chronic fatigue and cognitive problems. Nevertheless, they say that the alleged “fibers” growing out of patients’ skin are likely pieces from clothing those individuals were wearing that got stuck. They say that these patients are very sick, but disagree with Morgellons patients as to what is causing their illness.

Edible Microchips to Monitor Drug Taking Habits

January 20th, 2012

I wonder if people will tell Siri to remind them to take their digestible sensors?

Via: Independent:

An edible microchip that records the precise details of a patient’s pill regime will be available in Britain by the end of year following a commercial deal that opens the door to an era of digital medicines.

An American biomedical company has signed up with a British healthcare firm to sell digestible sensors, each smaller than a grain of sand, that can trigger the transmission of medical information from a patient’s body to the mobile phone of a relative or carer.

The aim is to develop a suite of “intelligent medicines” that can help patients and their carers keep track of which pills are taken at what time of day, in order to ensure that complex regimes of drugs are given the best possible chance of working effectively.

Ultimately, the plan is for every one of the many pills taken each day by some of the most chronically-ill patients, especially those with mental health problems, to be digitally time-stamped as they are digested within the body.

The healthcare company Lloyds- pharmacy said it intends to sell the edible microchips of Proteus Biomedical of California by the end of the year, as part of a trial to test whether NHS patients would be prepared to pay privately to ensure that they or their relatives take the right medicines at the right time.

U.S. Claims Immunity from Lawsuit Brought by Victims of Medical Atrocities in Guatemala

January 11th, 2012

Via: CNN:

The United States has rejected the grounds of a lawsuit stemming from experiments involving sexually transmitted diseases and human subjects in Guatemala between 1946 and 1948.

At the same time, the government announced increased aid to Guatemala to fight STDs.

In its first response to the class-action lawsuit filed last March by the alleged victims and their heirs, the U.S. government argued that it is immune to such a lawsuit, in a motion to dismiss the suit filed Monday night.

Because the harm was suffered in a foreign country, and because the Guatemalans have not exhausted other administrative solutions, the United States has sovereign immunity under the Federal Tort Claims Act, it said in the motion.

The government said the Supreme Court has “clarified” that the immunity statute “bars all claims based on any injury suffered in a foreign country, regardless of where the tortuous act or omission occurred.”

The United States has apologized for the study, and President Barack Obama asked the Presidential Commission for the Study of Bioethical Issues to look into the details of the research and to assure him that current rules protect people from unethical treatment.

Meanwhile, on Tuesday, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services announced it will invest about $1.8 million to aid the treatment and prevention of HIV and other sexually transmitted diseases in Guatemala.

Cannabis Treatment Threatens Deadly Painkiller Industry

January 10, 2012

Activist Post

Pharmaceutical painkillers are now responsible for more deaths in the United States than heroin and cocaine combined.

These pharmaceuticals are responsible for more than 15,000 deaths conservatively in 2008 alone. With no sign of slowing down, the painkiller industry is becoming wildly popular among Americans — as a result, so is the high rate of painkiller abuse.

Classified as dangerous by the U.S. government, cannabis (even in THC-free form, or free of psychoactive effects) has been identified as a powerful pain reliever in more than 80 peer-reviewed studies.

You may be aware of the fact that marijuana is usually quite high in THC (delta-9 tetrahydrocannabinol), which is the compound responsible for the psychoactive effect of cannabis.

In contrast, it is also low in CBD (cannabidiol) content. Both THC and CBD are known as cannabinoids, however, which interacts with your body in a very unique way.

In fact, cannabinoids are key when it comes to pain relief. While this information alone is enough to shatter the traditional beliefs on government marijuana regulation, the relationship between CBD and THC is even more revealing.

What you may not be familiar with is how CBD has been shown to block the effect of THC in the nervous system. This allows for marijuana to be used with little or no psychoactive effects. Hemp, on the other hand, is high in CBD and low in THC. This is due to the fact that it is bred to maximize its fiber, seeds, and oil. Of course these key properties are what it is most commonly used for.

Trials Indicate Cannabis as an Effective Treatment for Chronic Pain

In a 2011 study published in the British Journal of Clinical Pharmacology, researchers examined the effects of cannabinoids on chronic pain and proper sleep. What they found in their trials challenges federal government claims that cannabis has ‘no accepted medical use’. The researchers conducted 18 trials using cannabinoids in the treatment of chronic pain, and found that cannabinoids demonstrated a significant painkilling effect as well as noticeable improvements in sleep in 15 of trials. Compared, to placebo, the cannabinoids were extremely effective.

Most importantly, there were no adverse effects.

Another study, performed in 2002, reached similar conclusions. Finding cannabis to aid in pain relief as well as quality of sleep, researchers from the McGill University Health Centre stated in summary that cannabis can be used as an effective way of improving pain, mood, and sleep in some patients with chronic pain.

There are many forms of the cannabis plant, many without mind-altering properties, many of which can be utilized without adverse reactions, as detailed in the peer-reviewed research. It is also quite clear that the painkiller industry simply cannot continue to wreak havoc on the lives of many, and a natural alternative must soon emerge to prevent another 15,000 plus deaths this year.

Why is the federal government refusing to admit the medicinal properties of cannabis and the unique ability of this substance to curb pain, insomnia, and impaired mood? This is only one example of how the government decides what is and what is not good for your health.

BHOPAL, India – Indian activists have reacted in anger after 12 doctors were fined just 5,000 rupees (S$122) each for conducting secret drug trials on children and patients with learning disabilities.

The Madhya Pradesh state government said the tests had not been cleared by health authorities, and it added that the doctors refused to disclose further details citing patient confidentiality laws.

Anand Rai, a doctor who acted as a whistle-blower over the case, told AFP on Tuesday he was angered and frustrated that the scale of the punishment would not deter future illegal trials.

“The Madhya Pradesh government has now slapped a nominal 5,000-rupee penalty on the 12 government doctors who were involved in the bizarre case,” he said. “The penalty was for their failure to inform about the trials.”

“All drug trials were performed on patients who had gone to these government hospitals for routine treatment. It’s a criminal offence to put them under drug trials without their consent.”

A deadly strain of bird flu with the potential to infect and kill millions of people has been created in a laboratory by European scientists – who now want to publish full details of how they did it.

The discovery has prompted fears within the US Government that the knowledge will fall into the hands of terrorists wanting to use it as a bio-weapon of mass destruction.

Some scientists are questioning whether the research should ever have been undertaken in a university laboratory, instead of at a military facility.

The US Government is now taking advice on whether the information is too dangerous to be published.

“The fear is that if you create something this deadly and it goes into a global pandemic, the mortality and cost to the world could be massive,” a senior scientific adviser to the US Government told The Independent, speaking on condition of anonymity.

“The worst-case scenario here is worse than anything you can imagine.”

Physicians Oppose Mandatory Flu Vaccine for Health Workers

Physicians Oppose Mandatory Flu Vaccine for Health Workers

December 18, 2011

Print Version

Strong: AAPS

In a letter to Colorado public health officials, the Association of American Physicians and Surgeons (AAPS) opposes a rule requiring workers in health care facilities to have an annual influenza vaccination or lose their jobs. Workers who had a rare religious or medical exemption would be required to wear a mask in patient care areas from November through March.

The religious exemption is too narrowly drawn, AAPS writes, and should be a philosophical exemption, as accepted in many states, to “to avoid inquisitions into matters of faith.” The mask requirement “seems to be nothing more than a punitive retaliation against those who decline the vaccine” and should be dropped, the AAPS letter states, as both immunized and nonimmunized individuals can transmit influenza or other illnesses.

The New Mexico study cited in support of the policy shows a tiny effect: an adjusted odds ratio of only 0.97 for confirmed influenza “outbreaks” (at least one case) in residents of long-term care facilities where 60% of direct-care workers were immunized compared with facilities with a 51% immunization rate. This means that in facilities where more workers were immunized, residents were still 97% as likely to get influenza. “Many other factors could account for the small difference,” states AAPS executive director Jane Orient, M.D.

In the age of “evidence-based medicine,” AAPS notes that there is surprisingly little evidence supporting the efficacy of influenza vaccine, and evidence of safety is also scant. According to a 2006 article in the British Medical Journal by Tom Jeffersonhttp://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC1626345/, the coordinator of the vaccines section of the Cochrane Collaboration, safety data are reported in only five randomized studies with 2,963 observations. Many repeated doses of similar vaccines likely increase the risk of allergic reactions, and no data exist on the safety of a large number of doses, states Dr. Orient, citing a 2006 article in the Journal of American Physicians and Surgeons. http://www.jpands.org/vol11no3/geier.pdf

Immunizations and pertinent information should be made conveniently available to all workers in medical facilities, states AAPS. But the judgment of medical professionals should be respected; more than half choose to decline the annual shot.

The letter to Colorado officials is available.http://www.aapsonline.org/index.php/site/article/colorado_influenza_letter/

AAPS, a national organization of physicians in all specialties, was founded in 1943 to preserve and promote the practice of private medicine and the sanctity of the patient-physician

Australia Vaccine Scheme Extorts Families Through Tax Credits

Brandon Turbeville

Activist Post

Earlier this week, I wrote an article dealing with Australia’s introduction of fingerprint scanners into various workplaces for the purposes of keeping track of employees’ attendance and performance. The finger scanning program is being introduced by several large companies and will require employees to turn over some of their most private data when they clock in or out at the job and when they take breaks. It will also be used as a general method of keeping track of each employee’s level of production.

In describing this program in the article, I suggested that although the United States and Britain are often seen as world leaders of the introduction of the Big Brother Police State, Australia is often unfairly overlooked in this regard. However, it appears that the Queen-linked nation is fast asserting itself as a legitimate contender for the crowning title of “police state.”

Although the program is being administered by the private sector, it is no doubt a test run for further implementation into the society as a whole. In this case, however, one of the latest freedom-crushing programs to be rolled out in Australia is being introduced not by the incremental approach of the private sector, but by the force of “law” and “policy” of government.

In a new plan announced by the Australian Government, parents who do not subject their children to toxic vaccinations will be stripped of their family tax benefits, a scheme which could end up costing parents up to $2,100 per child, according to a report by ABC News.

In order for families to receive the Family Tax Benefit (FTB), and end of the year tax supplement, they will have to show proof of their child’s vaccination at yearly “immunization” checks. These checks will be conducted starting at the first year of life for every child.

In Australia, families must already show proof of full compliance with vaccination “requirements” in order to receive the Child Care Benefit and the Child Care Rebate.

At this time, Australia still has an opt-out clause for families deemed “conscientious objectors” who, even though they refuse the vaccination for religious, health, of philosophical reasons, will still be able to receive the FTB yearly credits.

In order for a family to opt out, however, one must sign an “Immunisation Exemption Conscientious Objection Form,” which must be signed by the parents and filled out by a medical doctor or a vaccine administrator.

For all of the Australian parents reading this article, the exemption form can be found at the link above in pdf form and printed out for your convenience. Or you can just click here to access it.

Regardless, the fact is that forcing parents to add themselves to a government list of families who object to vaccination, and then forcing them to have the exemption form filled out by a doctor or vaccination provider, is simply unreasonable. Families who are acting well within their rights are now forced to jump through an extra set of hoops just to be treated the same as other families who have made a different decision. This, in and of itself, is a clear sign of discrimination.

Not only that, but the individuals in charge of making such policy changes know full well that forcing a family to consult a “vaccine provider” or medical doctor amounts to intimidation at the hands of the healthcare establishment.

Medical doctors are generally so fully indoctrinated by the drug companies they were educated by that they rarely muster up enough courage or common sense to question the sacred cow of vaccines within the medical establishment.

When doctors are questioned by patients as to the safety of vaccination they almost always respond with the same lines of propaganda that we have been hearing for years about side effects being extremely rare and the people who question vaccines being “crazy conspiracy theorists.”

When they are confronted with someone who openly opposes the practices of vaccination, they often respond with irritation, frustration, anger, and intimidation tactics. In many cases, they simply lie.

The Australian establishment is well aware of this and, quite obviously, it is one of the reasons for such a requirement. They know that requiring parents to have a medical “professional” sign off on these forms will result in a large portion of these families being fooled, pressured, or otherwise intimidated into vaccinating their child.

In addition, the withholding of tax benefits for families who have not vaccinated their children amounts to nothing more than a backdoor tax increase for them. Although it is never openly discussed in this manner, removing tax benefits that everyone else receives is clearly a form of financial coercion.

But this is not the only policy change being made by the Australian health system regarding vaccines. Australia is now requiring that children be vaccinated with the highly dangerous MMR shot at the age of 18 months, instead of the currently mandated age of four years. Not only that, but it is the combination vaccine that is being required rather than the individual doses.

The combination MMR shot has been documented by numerous researchers for many years as having been linked to serious adverse effects, especially to autism (See here and here) and inflammatory bowel diseases (See here as well). Vaccines themselves are dangerous enough when administered separately. However, the combination shots are even more dangerous because of the varying toxic ingredients, as well as the mix of viruses and contaminants.

Mandatory or required vaccination is illegal, dangerous, and non-productive in the first place, and there is no logical reason for vaccination to be compulsory, since vaccinated children are presumably never at risk from the unvaccinated if they have the “protection.” But for a government to require the combination vaccine is even more ludicrous, given the side effects it has been so well-documented to produce.

What we are witnessing is a clear case of government extortion in regards to a parent’s God-given natural right to vaccinate or not vaccinate their children.

The removing of tax credits, the required signing of forms, and additions to government lists are only the beginning. It is only a matter of time before tax credits are removed even from parents who have signed the exemption forms and, from that point forward, it will only be a matter of time before exemption forms are ended altogether.

Unfortunately, it will also only be a matter of time before such government policies are enacted in the United States, especially as we see some of them already beginning to take shape.

Ireland: Psychiatrist Calls for Lithium to be Added to Water

December 5th, 2011

Via: Irish Times:

A consultant psychiatrist last night called on Government to add lithium salts to the public water supply in a bid to lower the suicide rate and depression among the general population.

At a mental health forum on “Depression in Rural Ireland” in Ennistymon, Co Clare, Dr Moosajee Bhamjee said that “there is growing scientific evidence that adding trace amounts of the drug lithium to a water supply can lower rates of suicide and depression”.

Lithium is used by doctors as a mood stabiliser in the treatment for depression.

Dr Bhamjee said: “A recent article in the British Journal of Psychiatry found the beneficial uses of lithium when it was added to the water supply in parts of Texas.”

He said the Government should consider a pilot project for a town in Ireland where lithium salts could be added to the water in very small doses and examine the results.” He said there was already strong precedent for governments intervening in the operation of public water supply for health benefits by adding fluoride.

Dr Bhamjee said that a community would not get “hooked” on lithium “because the doses would be so small”.

He said: “There are 200,000 people suffering from depression in Ireland and the Government must think of new ways of tackling the problem.”

Scientist Makes H5N1 Highly Contagious

November 26th, 2011

Via: NPR:

If the virus evolves to spread as easily between people as seasonal flu, however, it could cause a devastating global pandemic. So in an attempt to stay ahead of H5N1, scientists have been tweaking its genes in the lab to learn more about how this virus works, and what it is capable of.

In September, one scientist made a stunning announcement. At a flu conference held in Malta, he said he’d done a lab experiment that resulted in bird flu virus becoming highly contagious between ferrets — the animal model used to study human flu infection. It seemed that just five mutations did the trick.

News of the results raised red flags for Dr. Thomas Inglesby, a bioterrorism expert and director of the Center for Biosecurity of the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center.

“It’s just a bad idea for scientists to turn a lethal virus into a lethal and highly contagious virus. And it’s a second bad idea for them to publish how they did it so others can copy it,” says Inglesby.

No science journal has published the information yet. And Inglesby hopes none of them do.

Biology research usually has a culture of openness. Scientists report their methods and results so others can repeat their work and learn from it.

Inglesby agrees that’s the way to go the vast majority of the time. But not this time. “There are some cases that I think are worth an exception to that otherwise very important scientific principle,” he says. “I can only imagine that the process of deliberating about the publication of these findings is quite serious.”

The researcher who presented these findings at the science meeting is virologist Ron Fouchier, of the Erasmus Medical Center in the Netherlands. NPR has learned that his work is now under scrutiny by a committee called the National Science Advisory Board for Biosecurity.

Scientists and security specialists are in the midst of a fierce debate over recent experiments on a strain of bird flu virus that made it more contagious.

The big question: Should the results be made public?

Critics say doing so could potentially reveal how to make powerful new bioweapons.

The H5N1 virus has been circulating among birds and other animals in recent years. It’s also infected about 500 people. More than half died. But this dangerous virus has not caused widespread human disease because, so far, sick people haven’t been very contagious

It’s just a bad idea for scientists to turn a lethal virus into a lethal and highly contagious virus. And it’s a second bad idea for them to publish how they did it so others can copy it.

The world is being driven towards the “unthinkable scenario of untreatable infections”, experts are warning, because of the growth of superbugs resistant to all antibiotics and the dwindling interest in developing new drugs to combat them.

Reports are increasing across Europe of patients with infections that are nearly impossible to treat. The European Centre for Disease Control and Prevention (ECDC) said yesterday that in some countries up to 50 per cent of cases of blood poisoning caused by one bug – K. pneumoniae, a common cause of urinary and respiratory conditions – were resistant to carbapenems, the most powerful class of antibiotics.

Across Europe, the percentage of carbapenem-resistant K. pneumoniae has doubled from 7 per cent to 15 per cent. The ECDC said it is “particularly worrying” because carbapenems are the last-line antibiotics for treatment of multi-drug-resistant infections.

893 Turks die in major drug companies’ experiments

[Translate]

S ource: Hurriyet

Drug experimentations conducted by pharmaceutical giants have killed 893 Turks, the Independent reported.

Turkey is listed sixth of the countries that report the most deaths due to experimentations, with India taking the lead at over 1,700 victims who lost their lives during experiments run by American, British and European pharmaceutical companies.

The Independent’s investigation revealed plenty of gruesome details including experiments cancelled following abuses of illiterate or uninformed subjects in need of either money or treatment.

The total number of world deaths caused by pharmaceutical experimentation runs as high as 120,000. The issue is reportedly caused by tight regulations in countries like the United States and England, which push the pharmaceutical companies to direct their studies to countries that have looser ethical and technical regulations.

Pfizer, Bristol Myers, PPD, Squibb, Amgen, Bayer, Eli Lilly, Quintiles, Merck, KGaA, Sanofi-Aventis and Wyeth are some of the known companies to conduct such experiments overseas.

India’s Health Minister Ghulam Nabi Azad said 10 companies had paid compensation of a comical 3,000 pounds each to the relatives of only of 22 victims in India. A girl of 13, Sarita, was also a known victim of such experimentations.

The Turkish Ministry of Health, however, claimed Turkey was one of the “most regulated” countries on issues of pharmaceutical experimentation, stating that each experiment was overseen by authorities on grounds of ethical concerns and paying subjects was a strictly forbidden procedure, Vatan reported.

Yet the head of the Clinical Pharmaceutics Foundation Dr. Cankat Tulunay disagreed with the Ministry of Health. Tulunay told Vatan that supervisions and investigations were lead by people with limited knowledge and competence, with some investigations remaining only on paper. Tulunay further warned that if things continued as they were, Turkey might lose citizens by the thousands to unregulated experimentations.

‘Researchers Creating Ultimate Flu Shot’

November 7th, 2011

Get ready for more autoimmune diseases.

Via: CBS:

“We are in the front line of discovery,” said Dr. Beatrice Fontoura. She and her team at UT Southwestern have discovered a compound that works to fight multiple strains of the flu, including the deadly Spanish Flu that killed millions of people around the world in 1918.

“What we are doing is something different,” said Fontoura, explaining her research. “We are actually stimulating our own response which is already there – boost it – to fight an infection.”

The compound targets a specific protein called REDD-1, which is responsible for helping cells fight infection. The scientists discovered that when there is less REDD-1 protein in a cell, viruses like the flu can invade and corrupt the cell in a matter of hours. But when this compound is added, boosting the presence of the REDD-1 protein, the flu (no matter what strain) is held at bay. “We tested different strains — from less pathogenic strains to highly pathogenic strains,” Fontoura said, “and it worked.”

The current vaccine can often be ineffective, Fontoura said, if the flu virus mutates. This is why so many people who get a flu shot still get sick. However, this new compound would bypass that mutation, using your body – instead of the virus – to fight back.

“It’s very exciting. We’re all excited about it,” Fontoura said. “More is yet to come.”

The general public is still several years away from seeing this compound available at the local drug stores, Fontoura said, but she believes that this is the most promising step yet toward creating the ultimate weapon against the flu.
