I don't know why I haven't been doing this for years with my kids! My littlest one was sick with fever for about a week and it was a nasty rainy week as well. So..... to cheer her up and bring a sunny day INSIDE, even if it wasn't so sunny outside, I decided to break out the sidewalk chalk. Yep, sidewalk chalk! We drew a beautiful sun and flowers and birds right on the wall. She loved it! And so did I. Since then, I have been allowing everyone to have a blast drawing all over the walls, and they love it of course because it's not something most kids get to do, rather they would normally be in trouble for it. Not with sidewalk chalk though. You can allow them to decorate, play games, get their boredom out, and it all can be wiped away with a simple wet cloth! No chalkboard paint needed....unless you prefer that. It's fun for everyone, little ones, parents, and yes..... even the forever bored teenager will enjoy this.
I hope all of you try it and enjoy every second of it. Forget the old uptight 'don't draw on the wall' attitude and just have fun!! They and you will remember it forever.
It's amazing how creative they can be :)
Here's to throwing out the rules for once :) Have Fun!!

"Weird" Home Remedies that Actually Work
The fact that the title of this piece has the word "weird" in it is amusing to me. Simply because people can't grasp that these "weird" remedies actually work and have worked for decades, maybe even centuries, unless some scientific lab monkey says they work.
I am sharing this article simply because they are great remedies and everyone should know them. Here's to great health....without side effects! :) Enjoy. ~~~>
***Strange but true: you’ve probably got an amazing assortment of stuff in the kitchen, the tool box or the medicine chest that can do double duty as remedies for all kinds of common ailments. What’s more, there’s actual scientific research to back up some of these do-it-yourself treatments. Here’s a rundown on the most intriguing nine:
According to a study from Switzerland, four months of learning to play the didgeridoo worked well for patients with moderate sleep apnea, made for a better night’s sleep, and reduced daytime sleepiness. Even more, their bed partners slept better, too. Playing the instrument addressed sleep apnea by strengthening the upper airway, which prevents it from narrowing as you inhale.
10 Natural Ways to Sleep Better
When you feel your jaw clench, put a pencil between your teeth (don’t bite down) and hold it there. This simple strategy will cause your jaw to relax, easing tension, forestalling the headache, and easing the pain.
How to Avoid a Migraine Before It Happens
Here’s how it works: make sure the wart and surrounding skin are clean, then cut a piece of duct tape a bit larger than the wart and press into place. Remove the tape every three days, rub the wart with an emery board or pumice stone, and repeat until the wart is gone.

Didgeridoo for Sleep Apnea
Okay, so this probably isn’t something you’ve got lying around the house. You may not have heard of it either, but if you’ve got sleep apnea, this strange-sounding Australian wind instrument may be just what you need.According to a study from Switzerland, four months of learning to play the didgeridoo worked well for patients with moderate sleep apnea, made for a better night’s sleep, and reduced daytime sleepiness.

10 Natural Ways to Sleep Better
Biting on a Pencil for Headache Relief
This won’t work for migraines, but if you get common tension headaches, the pencil trick may help prevent them. We tend to automatically clench our jaws and teeth when we’re anxious or stressed, and this is a subconscious reaction that can lead to a tension headache.When you feel your jaw clench, put a pencil between your teeth (don’t bite down) and hold it there. This simple strategy will cause your jaw to relax, easing tension, forestalling the headache, and easing the pain.
How to Avoid a Migraine Before It Happens
Listerine for Blisters
You know it as a breath freshener and an antiseptic, but Listerine can also dry out blisters. Dab some on a cotton ball and apply it to your blister three times a day until it dries and the pain vanishes. Integrative medicine pioneer Andrew Weil, M.D., recommends applying petroleum jelly on a blister for temporary pain relief.Lemon Balm Tea for Cold Sores
Lemon balm is a member of the mint family and packs an anti-viral punch that can heal cold sores caused by the herpes simplex virus. A big study in Germany found that once treated with lemon balm, not a single cold sore recurrence occurred.Duct Tape for Warts
This is not an old wives tale. Using duct tape to remove warts has been shown to work better than freezing them off. In one study, duct tape eliminated 85 percent of patients' warts in two months (freezing eradicated only 60 percent).Here’s how it works: make sure the wart and surrounding skin are clean, then cut a piece of duct tape a bit larger than the wart and press into place. Remove the tape every three days, rub the wart with an emery board or pumice stone, and repeat until the wart is gone.
Ginger for Motion Sickness
Crystalized ginger, ginger tea, ginger syrup, or capsules of ginger powder can combat motion sickness and nausea in general (ginger ale or even ginger snaps may help, too). One study found that ginger worked better for motion sickness than anti-nausea medication, and Danish researchers report that ginger helped quell seasickness in susceptible naval cadets better than a placebo.Papaya for Smoother Skin
The active ingredient is papain, an enzyme that dissolves dead surface cells that give skin a dull, rough look. Try this fruity facial to soften and smooth your skin: wash and peel a ripe papaya and swirl about two tablespoons in a food processor. Add a tablespoon of dried oatmeal and apply to your freshly washed face for 10 minutes. Remove with warm water or a wet washcloth.Banana Bonanza
You can do a lot more with a banana than slice it on your cereal. Among the fruit's other uses: slap a banana peel (the inside part) on an itch caused by a bug bite or poison ivy; this will dial down the inflammation and relieve the itch. You can also use mashed banana as a facial--it’s great for moisturizing dry skin. Banana peel also has anti-acne properties: just rub the inside part of the peel over your clean face to get the anti-inflammatory and anti-microbial effects.Mustard for Minor Burns
Slather mustard on seared skin. After an initial sting, the mustard will relieve the pain and prevent scarring and blistering. No science here, but lots of enthusiastic testimonials.The above information came from the following site :

Lemons! One of Natures amazing creations and some of it's awsome uses.
10 uses for lemons
From whitening laundry to keeping insects away, here are 10 uses for lemons around the house.
By Stephanie RogersWed, May 16 2012 at 1:45 PM EST
Photo: Susan McKenzie/Shutterstock Lemons are so much more than a colorful garnish. These little yellow citrus fruits have hundreds of practical applications around the house, from polishing stainless steel appliances to brightening laundry. The citric acid in lemons gives them powerful natural cleaning abilities, and they're useful for natural health and beauty, too. These 10 uses for lemons will cut back on your house cleaning expenses, eliminate unnecessary chemical cleaners and give your home a fresh, invigorating scent.
Deodorize your home
From the refrigerator to the cat litter box, lemons can eliminate bad smells of all kinds throughout the house. Soak a sponge in lemon juice and place it inside the fridge to absorb odors. Simmer lemon peel in a pot of water for a fresh whole-house scent. Toss leftover lemon down your garbage disposal to banish bad smells from accumulated food gunk. Just a few slices of cut lemon placed near a litter box will help neutralize unpleasant odors.
Remove tarnish
Remove the tarnish that keeps brass, copper and stainless steel from sparkling by making a paste of lemon juice and salt and applying it to the affected surface. Let it sit for five minutes, then rinse with warm water and pat dry.
Polish metal surfaces
There's no need to purchase a special polish for stainless steel, aluminum and chrome. Just cut a lemon in half and rub it directly on the surface to remove fingerprints and grime. For extra cleaning power, mix lemon juice with either salt, baking soda or cream of tartar. The latter two options are gentle enough to polish metal surfaces without leaving any scratches behind.
Eliminate stains
Sweat, grass, wine, tomato and other stains can be lifted right out with a little lemon juice. Blot up as much of the offending substance as possible, and then saturate the stain with juice. Sprinkle with salt and then rub the salt in. Then, toss the garment into the wash.
Brighten laundry without bleach
You don't need bleach to brighten whites that have dulled or yellowed. Add a quarter-cup of lemon juice to the rinse cycle when washing white laundry, and then hang the items to dry on a clothesline in the sun. The combination of the lemons and sunlight will have your whites looking good as new.
Keep fruits and vegetables from turning brown
Apples, potatoes, avocados and other fruits and vegetable that tend to turn brown when sliced can be preserved with just a little bit of lemon juice. Add a teaspoon or so to the water when boiling potatoes, and sprinkle just a little bit on fruit salad or guacamole.
Relieve a sore throat
No matter how it's flavored, cough syrup never tastes good. The next time your throat is so sore you can barely breathe, try this trick instead: mix a tablespoon of lemon juice and a tablespoon of honey into a cup of water and either simmer on the stovetop or microwave until warm, but not too hot to drink. The lemon clears congestion, while the honey soothes inflamed tissue.
Clean greasy dishes
Lemon juice is extremely effective on grease. Squeeze it onto tough messes, including crusted, baked-on foods, and let it sit for a few minutes. Then, make a paste with some baking soda and a little more lemon juice and scrub away the gunk.
Repel insects without pesticides
Ants, fleas, moths, cockroaches and other insects are driven away by the strong scent and flavor of lemons. Hang a breathable cloth sachet of dried lemon peels in your closet instead of mothballs, and squeeze fresh lemon juice onto windowsills and doors where pests are likely to gain entrance to your home. You can also spray lemon juice into hard-to-reach areas, like the cracks between appliances and walls.
Whiten yellow fingernails
Give your nails a healthier, more youthful look with a lemon juice soak. Remove any nail polish, wash your hands and then soak your fingernails in full-strength lemon juice for a minute or two. Moisturize them afterward to prevent excessive dryness.

5 things in your kitchen that can make you sick.
By Nicci Micco, M.S., Content Director, Custom Publishing & Licensing for EatingWell
Every year, 76 million Americans get sick from food, according to the Centers for Disease Control. Nothing you can do will ever guarantee 100 percent protection against foodborne illness, but taking certain precautions can help reduce your risk. Some of these protective steps are common sense, like washing your hands before you eat. Others aren't so obvious. Read on to discover five surprising sources of foodborne "bugs" in your kitchen, we've written about in EatingWell Magazine, and how to protect yourself.
Related: 10 Rules for a Healthy Kitchen
Kitchen threat #1: Your kitchen sponge. When participants in a study from NSF International (an independent public health organization) swabbed various items in their houses, the kitchen sponge was by far the germiest. In fact, it harbored 150 times more bacteria, mold and yeast than a toothbrush holder. "You pick up bacteria when cleaning, but because you rarely disinfect that sponge between uses, germs multiply," says Rob Donofrio, M.S., Ph.D., NSF's director of microbiology. While the majority of germs they found won't make you sick some, such as Salmonella and E. coli, can cause serious illness. The best way to de-germ your sponge: microwave a wet sponge for two minutes daily and replace it every two weeks.
Must-Read: 7 More Unexpected Uses for Your Microwave
Kitchen threat #2: Your fridge. Cold temperatures slow the growth of bacteria, so it's important to make sure that your refrigerator doesn't rise above 40°F. Reduce your risk of foodborne illness by keeping tabs on your fridge temp with a thermometer. You can buy a "refrigerator/freezer thermometer" at appliance stores, home centers (e.g., Home Depot) and online kitchen stores.
Kitchen threat #3: Cutting boards. Bacteria from uncooked meat, poultry and fish can contaminate cooked foods and fresh produce. An important way to reduce this risk is to use separate cutting boards for raw meat/poultry/fish and produce/cooked foods.

Kitchen threat #4: Uncooked eggs. If you enjoy eating eggs with runny yolks or snitching a bit of raw batter when you're making cookies, you're not alone. But the USDA recommends avoiding raw or undercooked eggs (especially for young children and the elderly) because of the possibility of foodborne illness, like Salmonella. If you can't keep your hands (or your kids' hands) out of the cookie batter or you're working with a recipe that calls for raw or undercooked eggs, consider pasteurized-in-the-shell eggs. They're no different than regular eggs except they've been heat-treated to kill any harmful bacteria-making them safe to consume raw or partially cooked. Look for them in large supermarkets near other in-the-carton eggs.

Kitchen threat #5: Recalled items. You should discard any food that's been recalled because it's associated with the outbreak of a foodborne illness. But according to a survey conducted by Rutgers University, only about 60 percent of Americans search their homes for foods that have been recalled because of contamination. Whenever there's a food recall, check products stored at home to make sure they are safe. For more information on food recalls, visit www.recalls.gov.

Mass Stupidity & Government-Abetted Corporate Crime: Toxic Chemicals in Food, Water & Cosmetics
Mass Stupidity & Government-Abetted Corporate Crime: Toxic Chemicals in Food, Water & Cosmetics
The mass poisoning of humanity: an exploration of human stupidity
As human beings, we're the only species stupid enough to actually poison
ourselves. As part of modern living, we create a wide variety of chemical
toxins that go into the ecosystem through rivers and streams, the air, the
soil and so on. Not only that, we actually synthesize toxic chemicals and
then inject them directly into the food supply -- knowing full well that
they are poisonous and are major contributors to the epidemic rates of
chronic disease we are experiencing today.
What are these chemicals I'm talking about? Well, you're about to get a
whirlwind tour of humanity's toxic chemicals. And if you look at toxic
chemicals, you have to start in the realm of dentistry, because in no other
profession (save medicine) will you find the use of so many toxic chemicals
that are deliberately prescribed to patients or injected into their bodies.
We're talking about, of course, mercury fillings and fluoride dripped into
the public water supplies.
Dr. Poison Mercury, DDS
When we talk about mercury fillings, you have to keep in mind that mercury
is simply one of the most toxic substances you can put into the human body,
aside from radioactive substances. Right now, today, dentists all across the
country and around the world are taking this highly toxic metal and
literally putting it into the teeth of human beings. Those teeth are then
used to chew food, and as a person chews; they effectively grind away the
surfaces of these mercury fillings. These fillings release gas mercury vapor
and mercury particles, which people then breathe into their lungs, or digest
in their stomachs.
Now, I can understand that maybe 50 years ago, the dental industry was too
ignorant to realize that it was advocating this toxic metal and putting it
into patients' mouths. The industrial revolution is full of examples of
companies that used lots of toxic substances and therapies, thinking they
were good for you. Recall the X-rays and radiation of the first half of the
twentieth century, people thought that radiation was great for you.
Manufacturers were equating radiation with energy and thinking that if you
consumed radiation pills, you would be more energetic. These were actually
sold and sponsored by physicians and doctors, it was a mainstay of the
medical industry in those days.
Later, we had the lead issue with industrial companies like DuPont, which
has an interesting history in the manufacture and distribution of lead.
People were convinced lead was great for everything. They put it into the
gasoline, and leaded gasoline was born. We later found out that lead causes
nervous system disorders and that it's very unhealthy to have lead emissions
in the air. We ended up getting rid of lead paint, and banning the use of
lead in foods and cosmetics.
But for some reason, today dentists still think mercury is perfectly good
for you. It's like they're living in the Dark Ages. Gee, why don't they have
you swallow radiation pills at the same time they're putting mercury
fillings in your mouth? That way you can be energized and have fillings,
too!
Some of the greatest quackery in the world right now takes place in
dentists' offices; and dentists strongly deny the problems associated with
mercury toxicity and mercury fillings. Of course, I don't mean all dentists,
some dentists are slowly coming around to this issue. In fact, these
selected dentists are leading the change; they are pioneering dentists, just
as those in the world of medicine that are trying to change conventional
medicine.
These few dentists that are trying to make changes and get mercury fillings
banned deserve tremendous credit for taking the lead and standing up and
fighting against the dogma of their own industry to protect their patients.
There's no doubt in my mind that within a few years, mercury fillings will
be banned and they will join the ranks of lead paint, asbestos insulation,
leaded gasoline and radiation pills. They will go into the historical annals
of bad medicine, and some day future generations will think we were
absolutely crazy to be putting mercury in people's mouths.
More poison from dentists: fluoride
That's not the end of the toxicity in the world of dentistry, we also have
dentists pushing for, get this, the dripping of a highly toxic chemical
waste product into the water supply... a substance that's scraped off the
smokestacks of industrial polluters. They want every person in the community
to actually drink this substance.
This material is a toxic waste that's regulated by the EPA. It would be
illegal to drip it into a river or a stream, but for some reason, it is
perfectly legal to drip it into the public water supply and let people drink
it. It's a bizarre cycle of rationalization that can only be called medical
lunacy. They no longer consider this toxic substance toxic if it passes
through the bodies of human beings first. What substance am I talking about?
Fluorosilicic acid, otherwise known by its short name, fluoride.
Across the country and around the world, dentists are insisting that we
drip fluoride into the public water supply. For what purpose? To protect the
teeth? Can you be serious? People are swallowing this liquid. They're not
rinsing it in their mouth and spitting it out, they're ingesting it. Now as
a result we have fluorosis, and bone disorders that are related to the
over-consumption of fluoride.
For some reason, dentists have decided that they now have medical degrees,
and that they want to medicate the entire population with a drug, a
biologically active drug, without first diagnosing any individual in that
community. In other words, they want to medicate everyone across the board
with the exact same dosage, regardless of that person's individual health
needs, and regardless of how much other fluoride they may be exposed to on a
regular basis. This is the insanity of the modern dentistry community.
Remember, these are the same people that want to put mercury in your mouth,
so it only makes sense that they also want to poison your entire body by
putting fluorosilicic acid into the water supply.
They don't call it fluorosilicic acid of course, because that might scare
people. They call it fluoride -- and in fact they will even deceive the
public and call it "naturally-occurring fluoride." There's nothing natural
about fluorosilicic acid.
If you go to any community water supply where they are dripping so called
"fluoride" into the water system, you will find out where they actually get
the fluoride -- ask them, "Hey, do you dig this out of the ground in natural
fluoride deposits?," and they will tell you "No, we buy it from an
industrial waste processing company because it's cheaper than fluoride out
of the ground." I've asked this question myself of people who are in charge
of dripping fluoride into the public water supply, and that's exactly what
they have told me. You can verify this yourself and find out just how your
local community is poisoning you and your family with this highly toxic
waste chemical.
How to poison the entire population
Again, we are the only species stupid enough to actually poison ourselves.
And we do it in highly efficient ways. If you want to poison a population,
there's no easier way than to drip a substance into the water supply. And if
you really want to make sure everyone is poisoned, you would pass laws that
mandate the dripping of this poison into the water supply (i.e. fluoridation
laws). That would ensure that everybody gets some, whether it's an infant,
an adult or a senior citizen. This is increasingly what is happening across
the United States and around the world.
There's absolutely no good science behind any of the fluoride arguments.
Even if they were using genuine natural fluoride, there are no studies that
show the ingestion of fluoride decreases the incidence of dental caries in
modern society. Yet this myth persists in the dental community, and the
American Dental Association stands firmly behind this national poisoning
agenda. They will call anybody who disagrees with it a "nut," and they will
say that every population must be fluoridated -- for their own good, of
course. That's the only way to ensure they have healthy teeth, the logic
goes.
Put more chemicals into the foods, please
If you wanted to poison the entire population, but you were worried that not
everyone drinks from the water supply, there is another way: just poison the
food supply. This, too, is happening today, with food manufacturing
practices and the FDA looking the other way on toxic food ingredients.
Our population is being poisoned with artificial chemical sweeteners. Let's
take a look at these. Aspartame is a sweetener that was never proven safe;
in fact, the original safety recommendation panel at the FDA recommended
that aspartame be denied approval as a safe food ingredient. It was none
other than Donald Rumsfeld at the time who helped push aspartame through the
FDA to get it legalized as a food additive.
Today, we now see the vast majority of complaints of food side effects sent
to the FDA being caused by aspartame. Aspartame is an excitotoxin, that is,
a neurotoxic chemical, and it breaks down in your body into both formic acid
and formaldehyde. Now, would you like to go out and drink some formaldehyde?
Well, you might do that if you were a biological specimen that needed to be
preserved for dissection, but if you're a normal, healthy, sane human being,
you'd never drink formaldehyde. Unless, of course, they put it in an
artificial sweetener compound and added it to cans of your favorite
carbonated soft drink, in which case Americans will gladly drink
formaldehyde in can after can, poisoning their nervous systems, going half
blind, experiencing epilepsy and increasing the onset of neurodegenerative
disorders such as Alzheimer's disease.
Again, we're the only species stupid enough to actually poison ourselves
with these chemicals. And yet we have entire groups, food lobbies and public
apologizers who run around saying that these ingredients are perfectly good
for you. There's nothing wrong with drinking formaldehyde and formic acid.
You'll be fine! Drink more! Here, in fact here's a 50 percent more coupon,
so you can buy even more!
Want some chlorine in your food today?
Some say, "Well, aspartame is on the way out -- the big sweetener now is
Sucralose or Splenda." This is the artificial sweetener that claims to be
made from sugar. Well, I suppose you can claim that it starts out as sugar,
but it's made by removing some of the atoms from sugar and replacing them
with atoms of chlorine, which is of course one of the chemical elements used
during the atrocities of World War II to create poison gas, the same element
used in chlorine to disinfect pools and public water supplies.
When it's put that way, you might start thinking, "Well, gee, maybe there's
something wrong with this sugar, maybe I shouldn't be putting chlorine atoms
into my body." Would you go out and drink chlorine? If you know anybody who
works on pools, or who has a pool maintenance business, they will tell you
that chlorine gas will kill you. In fact, just to handle chlorine, they have
to wear protective rubber gloves and protective respiration devices, because
if they get chlorine powder wet and touch it or inhale it, they are in for a
world of hurt. Chlorine gas can cause serious injury or even death. In fact,
if you just take household ingredients like chlorine bleach and mix it with
ammonia, you will create a highly toxic gas that will literally kill you,
which is why these products often contain warnings that they should not be
mixed.
And yet, in our food supply, we take chlorine atoms and we attach them to
molecules that used to be sugar, and we call that a safe sweetener. And now
we're putting it into all kinds of foods, whether it's soft drinks, muffins,
pancake mixes and pretty much everything in the low-carb arena. I'm not sure
people realize that they are actually ingesting chlorine atoms. Maybe
they're too dazed from the fluoride.
Okay, so far we have dentists putting mercury fillings in your mouth that
give off mercury vapor and cause neurodegenerative disorders such as
Alzheimer's disease. We have the same insane dentists mandating the dripping
of EPA-regulated environmental pollutants into the public water supply,
making sure that human beings in the United States have to drink toxic waste
product... after which it enters into the rivers and streams as part of
human waste, even though if such chemicals were dripped directly into the
rivers and streams in this country it would be a violation of federal law.
We have food and beverage companies using artificial chemical sweeteners to
replace sugar and claiming that their products are healthier than sugar
products. And yet, these artificial chemical sweeteners break down into
dangerous chemical components such as formaldehyde and formic acid, or they
are made with chlorine atoms that simply do not belong in the human body.
These chemicals do not appear anywhere in nature attached to a sugar
molecule.
Yummy poison: hydrogenated oils
So, what else can the money-hungry corporations think of to put into the
food or the water to poison America? They are quite creative and they have a
lot of poisons at their disposal. The next terrible poison on the list is
hydrogenated oils. They're called brain poisons, and they're present in
perhaps half of all the foods found at every grocery store. It's listed
right on the label -- you can see it as "hydrogenated oil" or
"partially-hydrogenated vegetable oil".
This artificial fat directly causes cardiovascular heart disease, it
destroys normal cardiovascular health, it destroys the healthy functioning
of the nervous system, it causes brain disorders, it causes heart attacks --
it is one of the most prominent and yet toxic ingredients put into the food
supply. It also causes birth defects and essential fatty acid deficiencies
in both the mother and her fetus.
And it's put in foods on purpose, for the convenience of the food
manufacturers. Hydrogenated oils don't go bad, which means they save money
for the food manufacturing companies, because their foods don't go bad on
the shelves. And how do you make hydrogenated oils? Well, you don't find
them anywhere in nature -- you have to have a chemical processing facility
to make hydrogenated oils. And you do it by bubbling hydrogen gas through
liquid soybean oil or other types of oils, using a catalyst (in most cases
the catalyst is nickel). So with this nickel and the bubbling of hydrogen
gas, you get extra hydrogen atoms attached to the molecules in oil, which
makes them solid at room temperature. Since they are solid at room
temperature, they can be more easily used to make margarine products, or
used in crackers and cookies. And all of this, again, is for the convenience
of the food manufacturing companies.
Food manufactures don't care what happens to your health, their job is just
to sell food products. If you have a health problem as a result, that's your
problem, not theirs. You won't find food companies offering to pay for your
medical bills if you have a heart attack from eating hydrogenated oils. They
are basically passing the buck and demanding that you pay for the health
consequences caused by their foods. In fact, they're working hard to pass
legislation that would outlaw lawsuits against food companies!
Pepperoni-shaped poison
Not to be outdone, the meat processing companies in this country also want
to make sure they get lots of poison into your food products. It's not
enough to just sell you red meat, which is by itself an extremely unhealthy
food ingredient that promotes colon cancer, heart disease, obesity and many
other disorders, they also have to put cancer-causing chemicals in various
meat products.
This makes sure that you get colon cancer from the additives, if not from
the red meat itself. This additive is called sodium nitrite, and you'll find
it in virtually every packaged meat product found at the grocery store,
whether it's pepperoni, breakfast sausage, or bacon. You can buy sliced ham,
sliced chicken, deli slices, lunch meat, packaged ham, pepperoni, the meat
that goes into soups, the meat that goes into those little lunch trays ...
pretty much any form of packaged meat at the grocery store has this toxic
ingredient in it. That's why the daily consumption of processed meats has
now been clinically shown to produce a 6,700% increase in the risk of
pancreatic cancer!
Guinea pig people
And what is this ingredient again? Sodium nitrite! When you ingest sodium
nitrite, it mixes with the digestive juices of your stomach and creates a
class of chemical compounds called nitrosamines. These nitrosamines are
potent cancer-causing chemicals. In fact, as I've mentioned before, they are
so potent that lab researchers actually inject mice with nitrosamines when
they want to give those mice breast cancer or other form of cancer they can
study. And yet, as humans, we put sodium nitrite (see related ebook on
sodium nitrite) right into the food supply. It's almost as if we were
treating the entire population as lab rats -- and in fact that's not far
from the truth.
Drugs are frequently released in this country on an experimental basis,
using the population as guinea pigs to find out how many people might die
from that drug in order to get more safety data. Let's face it, when the FDA
approves drugs for public use, they are not at all proven safe. The American
public is routinely treated as a collection of guinea pigs in order to
promote prescription drugs, foods, artificial sweeteners or other elements.
Toxic personal care products
So now we've got toxic chemicals in our mouths, in our public water
supplies, and in our foods and beverages. Where else can money hungry
corporations put toxic chemicals into our immediate environment and get them
into our bodies? Well, think hard and you might come up with some other
ideas. Let's look at the personal care products industry, because
practically every brand name shampoo, cologne, perfume, deodorant,
antiperspirant or other personal care product on the market is made with
toxic fragrance chemicals. These can contain solvents, carcinogens and
compounds that are registered in government databases as having strong liver
toxicity.
The reason these ingredients are allowed in these products are because the
FDA has mistakenly assumed for many, many years that whatever you put on
your body doesn't get absorbed into your body. They think, for example, that
you could just coat your body with toxic chemicals and you would be fine,
because your skin is a barrier. I've even heard pharmacists tell me that the
skin is a great barrier, so whatever you put on your skin won't go into your
body.
That's utterly ridiculous! As pharmacists, haven't these people ever sold
nicotine patches? How do you think those work? They work by releasing
nicotine that gets absorbed directly through your skin into your
bloodstream. If your skin didn't absorb nicotine, the nicotine patches
wouldn't deliver a dosage. You have to be half-crazy to think that the skin
is some kind of permanent barrier that keeps out everything you put on it.
In fact, the skin is very porous -- the skin breathes. Yes, it keeps out
bacteria, but it sure doesn't keep out chemical solvents, and it doesn't
keep out molecules as big as nicotine. Nicotine molecules are not very
small, by the way. There are many things that go right through your skin,
and those include fragrance chemicals, solvents, and a lot of other toxic
ingredients that are found in personal care products. One such ingredient
called MIT was recently discovered in most brand-name shampoos, and this MIT
ingredient is known to cause brain cancer.
Voluntary chemical suicide
So now we are really stupid as a species, because we've poisoned our mouths,
our water supply, our food, our beverages and even our shampoos and personal
care products. And if you use dryer sheets, then you've got your clothes
poisoned as well, they're coated in a layer of toxic chemicals found in
dryer sheet products. So what else could we use to poison the population?
There are still many other options.
One way would be to sell a toxic chemical that people voluntarily put into
their mouths because another person in a position of authority told them to
do so. This is describing the prescription drug industry, where people are
poisoning themselves each and every day with toxic painkiller drugs like
COX-2 inhibitors or toxic anti-cholesterol drugs like statin drugs. People
are poisoning their minds with antidepressant drugs that promote violent
behavior and suicides. They're poisoning their cardiovascular system with
beta-blockers and other drugs. And of course they're poisoning their livers.
And yet people volunteer to do this -- each and every day they will put
these toxic chemicals into their bodies simply because someone with a degree
from a school of disease (also known as medical school) told them to do so.
And, not only that, they will actually pay for the privilege of poisoning
their own bodies.
They'll pay good money too, not just a few hundred dollars a month, but
several thousand dollars a month. Some people will spend six figures a year
poisoning their bodies because their doctor told them to do so. And, then
when something goes wrong and they have a small tumor show up on a
mammogram, or some other blood test comes back positive that indicates they
may have some sort of cancer tumor, they will gladly pay another $100,000 or
more in order to destroy their entire immune system with a treatment known
as chemotherapy.
They will literally sit there and let other doctors inject highly toxic
poisons directly into the bloodstream and allow them to circulate through
their body. How toxic is this stuff? Well, gee, think about it, your hair
falls out, you get sick and you vomit -- are these signs that maybe this
stuff doesn't belong in your body? I don't know about you, but I think
that's a very strange way to heal someone. If I were a medical professional
and I were healing someone, and I had them do something which made their
hair fall out and they started vomiting and it looked like they were going
to melt away right before my very eyes, I would think that, hey, maybe this
isn't good for them. But that's not what conventional oncologists think.
They think, oh, this is great stuff. Look, we're going to destroy the cancer
tumor and, if we're lucky, there may even be a patient left by the time
we're done. And if not -- that's alright, as long as they pay the bill.
Official, government-approved drug dealers
We as a species actually have a class of professionals, highly-paid
professionals, who we give the right to poison us with toxic chemicals.
These people are called doctors. I call them drug dealers. Just like illegal
drugs, their drugs kill people. The main difference is that these "legal"
drugs enrich politically influential corporations, whereas illegal drugs
enrich drug lords. Our national "War on Drugs" is quite selective in its
targets, don't you think? Industrial hemp is outlawed, but doping up
millions of children on powerful narcotics is perfectly legal: it's called
Ritalin.
So remember, we're the only species stupid enough to actually poison
ourselves. And if we don't do it in just one or two ways, we do it in half a
dozen different ways! Then we regulate that poisoning, we make it federal
law! And we have lobbyists and groups out there defending this use of poison
in the food supply, and defending the use of it in cosmetic products and
personal care products. We have defenders of the drug industry, people who
say, "Yeah, well there was a study five years ago that showed a 1200 percent
heart attack increase, but we thought that really wasn't relevant to this
drug and we decided to go ahead and market that drug anyway." That's what we
have today. And the real details of this gruesome story have only begun to
be uncovered. Wait until the rest of the story comes out...
We're #1!
Is it any wonder, with all of the poisoning going on at all the different
levels in our bodies, that we are now the most chronically diseased
population that has ever been recorded in the history of civilization? It's
true -- there is no population that has suffered from diseases like we do in
America today. You would have to be clinically insane to not think that
there's a correlation between the poison we are putting into our bodies and
the diseases we are getting as a result.
Plus, as recent studies have shown, we're the #1 nation in the world in
terms of mental disorders as well! Let's see: #1 in obesity, #1 in diabetes,
#1 in cancer, #1 mental disorders, and we have the HIGHEST health care costs
in the world, too. We have the most expensive drugs in the world. We have
more doctors and health care professionals per capita than any country in
the world. And, frighteningly, we're the country with the most nukes. Great
idea, huh? Put the nuclear weapons under control of the most mentally
disturbed population in the world... now if only our leaders were at least
sane...
But no, wait a minute -- the doctors are right, all diseases are just
genetic. None of these poisons matter, it's just your genes. They say the
gene pool of the human race was perfectly fine 100 years ago when people
didn't have all these diseases, but it has somehow mutated to a gene pool
that gives you heart disease and cancer and osteoporosis and diabetes, and,
by the way, there's nothing you can do about it. That's what they want you
to believe, because then they take away your power. Then you have no ability
to make changes.
Actually, we're pretty darned clever, aren't we?
So not only are we the most stupid species on the planet, because we're
poisoning ourselves, we are simultaneously the cleverest species, because we
find ways to justify all that poisoning. We find scientific gobbledygook to
claim that, yes, NutraSweet is good for you! Or that these chlorine atoms
attached to sugar are great for you, or that mercury in your mouth somehow
doesn't have a toxic effect on your body. Or that hydrogenated oils are
perfectly fine for your heart health.
We stupidly say if you take those and you drink this weight loss shake made
with sugar, you'll be healthy. And if you have this barbaric surgical
procedure called gastric bypass surgery, you'll no longer be obese. And if
you're not healthy, don't worry; we have magic bullet prescription drugs
that will make you even healthier. So we're a clever population at the same
time that we're incredibly stupid. Do you know what that's called? That's
called being a population of great technicians and lousy healers. And that's
exactly what we are today.
Having used the word "stupid" throughout this editorial, I use it
deliberately. I don't mean it in the way that a teenager might say, "My
stupid little brother flipped me off." I mean it in a more precise way, in
the way defined by Dictionary.com:
Stupid:
1. Slow to learn or understand; obtuse.
2. Tending to make poor decisions or careless mistakes.
3. Marked by a lack of intelligence or care; foolish or careless: a stupid
mistake.
4. Dazed, stunned, or stupefied.
Can you think of a better word to describe the people around here?
As Einstein once said, "Only two things are infinite, the universe and
human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former."

The mass poisoning of humanity: an exploration of human stupidity
As human beings, we're the only species stupid enough to actually poison
ourselves. As part of modern living, we create a wide variety of chemical
toxins that go into the ecosystem through rivers and streams, the air, the
soil and so on. Not only that, we actually synthesize toxic chemicals and
then inject them directly into the food supply -- knowing full well that
they are poisonous and are major contributors to the epidemic rates of
chronic disease we are experiencing today.
What are these chemicals I'm talking about? Well, you're about to get a
whirlwind tour of humanity's toxic chemicals. And if you look at toxic
chemicals, you have to start in the realm of dentistry, because in no other
profession (save medicine) will you find the use of so many toxic chemicals
that are deliberately prescribed to patients or injected into their bodies.
We're talking about, of course, mercury fillings and fluoride dripped into
the public water supplies.
Dr. Poison Mercury, DDS
When we talk about mercury fillings, you have to keep in mind that mercury
is simply one of the most toxic substances you can put into the human body,
aside from radioactive substances. Right now, today, dentists all across the
country and around the world are taking this highly toxic metal and
literally putting it into the teeth of human beings. Those teeth are then
used to chew food, and as a person chews; they effectively grind away the
surfaces of these mercury fillings. These fillings release gas mercury vapor
and mercury particles, which people then breathe into their lungs, or digest
in their stomachs.
Now, I can understand that maybe 50 years ago, the dental industry was too
ignorant to realize that it was advocating this toxic metal and putting it
into patients' mouths. The industrial revolution is full of examples of
companies that used lots of toxic substances and therapies, thinking they
were good for you. Recall the X-rays and radiation of the first half of the
twentieth century, people thought that radiation was great for you.
Manufacturers were equating radiation with energy and thinking that if you
consumed radiation pills, you would be more energetic. These were actually
sold and sponsored by physicians and doctors, it was a mainstay of the
medical industry in those days.
Later, we had the lead issue with industrial companies like DuPont, which
has an interesting history in the manufacture and distribution of lead.
People were convinced lead was great for everything. They put it into the
gasoline, and leaded gasoline was born. We later found out that lead causes
nervous system disorders and that it's very unhealthy to have lead emissions
in the air. We ended up getting rid of lead paint, and banning the use of
lead in foods and cosmetics.
But for some reason, today dentists still think mercury is perfectly good
for you. It's like they're living in the Dark Ages. Gee, why don't they have
you swallow radiation pills at the same time they're putting mercury
fillings in your mouth? That way you can be energized and have fillings,
too!
Some of the greatest quackery in the world right now takes place in
dentists' offices; and dentists strongly deny the problems associated with
mercury toxicity and mercury fillings. Of course, I don't mean all dentists,
some dentists are slowly coming around to this issue. In fact, these
selected dentists are leading the change; they are pioneering dentists, just
as those in the world of medicine that are trying to change conventional
medicine.
These few dentists that are trying to make changes and get mercury fillings
banned deserve tremendous credit for taking the lead and standing up and
fighting against the dogma of their own industry to protect their patients.
There's no doubt in my mind that within a few years, mercury fillings will
be banned and they will join the ranks of lead paint, asbestos insulation,
leaded gasoline and radiation pills. They will go into the historical annals
of bad medicine, and some day future generations will think we were
absolutely crazy to be putting mercury in people's mouths.
More poison from dentists: fluoride
That's not the end of the toxicity in the world of dentistry, we also have
dentists pushing for, get this, the dripping of a highly toxic chemical
waste product into the water supply... a substance that's scraped off the
smokestacks of industrial polluters. They want every person in the community
to actually drink this substance.
This material is a toxic waste that's regulated by the EPA. It would be
illegal to drip it into a river or a stream, but for some reason, it is
perfectly legal to drip it into the public water supply and let people drink
it. It's a bizarre cycle of rationalization that can only be called medical
lunacy. They no longer consider this toxic substance toxic if it passes
through the bodies of human beings first. What substance am I talking about?
Fluorosilicic acid, otherwise known by its short name, fluoride.
Across the country and around the world, dentists are insisting that we
drip fluoride into the public water supply. For what purpose? To protect the
teeth? Can you be serious? People are swallowing this liquid. They're not
rinsing it in their mouth and spitting it out, they're ingesting it. Now as
a result we have fluorosis, and bone disorders that are related to the
over-consumption of fluoride.
For some reason, dentists have decided that they now have medical degrees,
and that they want to medicate the entire population with a drug, a
biologically active drug, without first diagnosing any individual in that
community. In other words, they want to medicate everyone across the board
with the exact same dosage, regardless of that person's individual health
needs, and regardless of how much other fluoride they may be exposed to on a
regular basis. This is the insanity of the modern dentistry community.
Remember, these are the same people that want to put mercury in your mouth,
so it only makes sense that they also want to poison your entire body by
putting fluorosilicic acid into the water supply.
They don't call it fluorosilicic acid of course, because that might scare
people. They call it fluoride -- and in fact they will even deceive the
public and call it "naturally-occurring fluoride." There's nothing natural
about fluorosilicic acid.
If you go to any community water supply where they are dripping so called
"fluoride" into the water system, you will find out where they actually get
the fluoride -- ask them, "Hey, do you dig this out of the ground in natural
fluoride deposits?," and they will tell you "No, we buy it from an
industrial waste processing company because it's cheaper than fluoride out
of the ground." I've asked this question myself of people who are in charge
of dripping fluoride into the public water supply, and that's exactly what
they have told me. You can verify this yourself and find out just how your
local community is poisoning you and your family with this highly toxic
waste chemical.
How to poison the entire population
Again, we are the only species stupid enough to actually poison ourselves.
And we do it in highly efficient ways. If you want to poison a population,
there's no easier way than to drip a substance into the water supply. And if
you really want to make sure everyone is poisoned, you would pass laws that
mandate the dripping of this poison into the water supply (i.e. fluoridation
laws). That would ensure that everybody gets some, whether it's an infant,
an adult or a senior citizen. This is increasingly what is happening across
the United States and around the world.
There's absolutely no good science behind any of the fluoride arguments.
Even if they were using genuine natural fluoride, there are no studies that
show the ingestion of fluoride decreases the incidence of dental caries in
modern society. Yet this myth persists in the dental community, and the
American Dental Association stands firmly behind this national poisoning
agenda. They will call anybody who disagrees with it a "nut," and they will
say that every population must be fluoridated -- for their own good, of
course. That's the only way to ensure they have healthy teeth, the logic
goes.
Put more chemicals into the foods, please
If you wanted to poison the entire population, but you were worried that not
everyone drinks from the water supply, there is another way: just poison the
food supply. This, too, is happening today, with food manufacturing
practices and the FDA looking the other way on toxic food ingredients.
Our population is being poisoned with artificial chemical sweeteners. Let's
take a look at these. Aspartame is a sweetener that was never proven safe;
in fact, the original safety recommendation panel at the FDA recommended
that aspartame be denied approval as a safe food ingredient. It was none
other than Donald Rumsfeld at the time who helped push aspartame through the
FDA to get it legalized as a food additive.
Today, we now see the vast majority of complaints of food side effects sent
to the FDA being caused by aspartame. Aspartame is an excitotoxin, that is,
a neurotoxic chemical, and it breaks down in your body into both formic acid
and formaldehyde. Now, would you like to go out and drink some formaldehyde?
Well, you might do that if you were a biological specimen that needed to be
preserved for dissection, but if you're a normal, healthy, sane human being,
you'd never drink formaldehyde. Unless, of course, they put it in an
artificial sweetener compound and added it to cans of your favorite
carbonated soft drink, in which case Americans will gladly drink
formaldehyde in can after can, poisoning their nervous systems, going half
blind, experiencing epilepsy and increasing the onset of neurodegenerative
disorders such as Alzheimer's disease.
Again, we're the only species stupid enough to actually poison ourselves
with these chemicals. And yet we have entire groups, food lobbies and public
apologizers who run around saying that these ingredients are perfectly good
for you. There's nothing wrong with drinking formaldehyde and formic acid.
You'll be fine! Drink more! Here, in fact here's a 50 percent more coupon,
so you can buy even more!
Want some chlorine in your food today?
Some say, "Well, aspartame is on the way out -- the big sweetener now is
Sucralose or Splenda." This is the artificial sweetener that claims to be
made from sugar. Well, I suppose you can claim that it starts out as sugar,
but it's made by removing some of the atoms from sugar and replacing them
with atoms of chlorine, which is of course one of the chemical elements used
during the atrocities of World War II to create poison gas, the same element
used in chlorine to disinfect pools and public water supplies.
When it's put that way, you might start thinking, "Well, gee, maybe there's
something wrong with this sugar, maybe I shouldn't be putting chlorine atoms
into my body." Would you go out and drink chlorine? If you know anybody who
works on pools, or who has a pool maintenance business, they will tell you
that chlorine gas will kill you. In fact, just to handle chlorine, they have
to wear protective rubber gloves and protective respiration devices, because
if they get chlorine powder wet and touch it or inhale it, they are in for a
world of hurt. Chlorine gas can cause serious injury or even death. In fact,
if you just take household ingredients like chlorine bleach and mix it with
ammonia, you will create a highly toxic gas that will literally kill you,
which is why these products often contain warnings that they should not be
mixed.
And yet, in our food supply, we take chlorine atoms and we attach them to
molecules that used to be sugar, and we call that a safe sweetener. And now
we're putting it into all kinds of foods, whether it's soft drinks, muffins,
pancake mixes and pretty much everything in the low-carb arena. I'm not sure
people realize that they are actually ingesting chlorine atoms. Maybe
they're too dazed from the fluoride.
Okay, so far we have dentists putting mercury fillings in your mouth that
give off mercury vapor and cause neurodegenerative disorders such as
Alzheimer's disease. We have the same insane dentists mandating the dripping
of EPA-regulated environmental pollutants into the public water supply,
making sure that human beings in the United States have to drink toxic waste
product... after which it enters into the rivers and streams as part of
human waste, even though if such chemicals were dripped directly into the
rivers and streams in this country it would be a violation of federal law.
We have food and beverage companies using artificial chemical sweeteners to
replace sugar and claiming that their products are healthier than sugar
products. And yet, these artificial chemical sweeteners break down into
dangerous chemical components such as formaldehyde and formic acid, or they
are made with chlorine atoms that simply do not belong in the human body.
These chemicals do not appear anywhere in nature attached to a sugar
molecule.
Yummy poison: hydrogenated oils
So, what else can the money-hungry corporations think of to put into the
food or the water to poison America? They are quite creative and they have a
lot of poisons at their disposal. The next terrible poison on the list is
hydrogenated oils. They're called brain poisons, and they're present in
perhaps half of all the foods found at every grocery store. It's listed
right on the label -- you can see it as "hydrogenated oil" or
"partially-hydrogenated vegetable oil".
This artificial fat directly causes cardiovascular heart disease, it
destroys normal cardiovascular health, it destroys the healthy functioning
of the nervous system, it causes brain disorders, it causes heart attacks --
it is one of the most prominent and yet toxic ingredients put into the food
supply. It also causes birth defects and essential fatty acid deficiencies
in both the mother and her fetus.
And it's put in foods on purpose, for the convenience of the food
manufacturers. Hydrogenated oils don't go bad, which means they save money
for the food manufacturing companies, because their foods don't go bad on
the shelves. And how do you make hydrogenated oils? Well, you don't find
them anywhere in nature -- you have to have a chemical processing facility
to make hydrogenated oils. And you do it by bubbling hydrogen gas through
liquid soybean oil or other types of oils, using a catalyst (in most cases
the catalyst is nickel). So with this nickel and the bubbling of hydrogen
gas, you get extra hydrogen atoms attached to the molecules in oil, which
makes them solid at room temperature. Since they are solid at room
temperature, they can be more easily used to make margarine products, or
used in crackers and cookies. And all of this, again, is for the convenience
of the food manufacturing companies.
Food manufactures don't care what happens to your health, their job is just
to sell food products. If you have a health problem as a result, that's your
problem, not theirs. You won't find food companies offering to pay for your
medical bills if you have a heart attack from eating hydrogenated oils. They
are basically passing the buck and demanding that you pay for the health
consequences caused by their foods. In fact, they're working hard to pass
legislation that would outlaw lawsuits against food companies!
Pepperoni-shaped poison
Not to be outdone, the meat processing companies in this country also want
to make sure they get lots of poison into your food products. It's not
enough to just sell you red meat, which is by itself an extremely unhealthy
food ingredient that promotes colon cancer, heart disease, obesity and many
other disorders, they also have to put cancer-causing chemicals in various
meat products.
This makes sure that you get colon cancer from the additives, if not from
the red meat itself. This additive is called sodium nitrite, and you'll find
it in virtually every packaged meat product found at the grocery store,
whether it's pepperoni, breakfast sausage, or bacon. You can buy sliced ham,
sliced chicken, deli slices, lunch meat, packaged ham, pepperoni, the meat
that goes into soups, the meat that goes into those little lunch trays ...
pretty much any form of packaged meat at the grocery store has this toxic
ingredient in it. That's why the daily consumption of processed meats has
now been clinically shown to produce a 6,700% increase in the risk of
pancreatic cancer!
Guinea pig people
And what is this ingredient again? Sodium nitrite! When you ingest sodium
nitrite, it mixes with the digestive juices of your stomach and creates a
class of chemical compounds called nitrosamines. These nitrosamines are
potent cancer-causing chemicals. In fact, as I've mentioned before, they are
so potent that lab researchers actually inject mice with nitrosamines when
they want to give those mice breast cancer or other form of cancer they can
study. And yet, as humans, we put sodium nitrite (see related ebook on
sodium nitrite) right into the food supply. It's almost as if we were
treating the entire population as lab rats -- and in fact that's not far
from the truth.
Drugs are frequently released in this country on an experimental basis,
using the population as guinea pigs to find out how many people might die
from that drug in order to get more safety data. Let's face it, when the FDA
approves drugs for public use, they are not at all proven safe. The American
public is routinely treated as a collection of guinea pigs in order to
promote prescription drugs, foods, artificial sweeteners or other elements.
Toxic personal care products
So now we've got toxic chemicals in our mouths, in our public water
supplies, and in our foods and beverages. Where else can money hungry
corporations put toxic chemicals into our immediate environment and get them
into our bodies? Well, think hard and you might come up with some other
ideas. Let's look at the personal care products industry, because
practically every brand name shampoo, cologne, perfume, deodorant,
antiperspirant or other personal care product on the market is made with
toxic fragrance chemicals. These can contain solvents, carcinogens and
compounds that are registered in government databases as having strong liver
toxicity.
The reason these ingredients are allowed in these products are because the
FDA has mistakenly assumed for many, many years that whatever you put on
your body doesn't get absorbed into your body. They think, for example, that
you could just coat your body with toxic chemicals and you would be fine,
because your skin is a barrier. I've even heard pharmacists tell me that the
skin is a great barrier, so whatever you put on your skin won't go into your
body.
That's utterly ridiculous! As pharmacists, haven't these people ever sold
nicotine patches? How do you think those work? They work by releasing
nicotine that gets absorbed directly through your skin into your
bloodstream. If your skin didn't absorb nicotine, the nicotine patches
wouldn't deliver a dosage. You have to be half-crazy to think that the skin
is some kind of permanent barrier that keeps out everything you put on it.
In fact, the skin is very porous -- the skin breathes. Yes, it keeps out
bacteria, but it sure doesn't keep out chemical solvents, and it doesn't
keep out molecules as big as nicotine. Nicotine molecules are not very
small, by the way. There are many things that go right through your skin,
and those include fragrance chemicals, solvents, and a lot of other toxic
ingredients that are found in personal care products. One such ingredient
called MIT was recently discovered in most brand-name shampoos, and this MIT
ingredient is known to cause brain cancer.
Voluntary chemical suicide
So now we are really stupid as a species, because we've poisoned our mouths,
our water supply, our food, our beverages and even our shampoos and personal
care products. And if you use dryer sheets, then you've got your clothes
poisoned as well, they're coated in a layer of toxic chemicals found in
dryer sheet products. So what else could we use to poison the population?
There are still many other options.
One way would be to sell a toxic chemical that people voluntarily put into
their mouths because another person in a position of authority told them to
do so. This is describing the prescription drug industry, where people are
poisoning themselves each and every day with toxic painkiller drugs like
COX-2 inhibitors or toxic anti-cholesterol drugs like statin drugs. People
are poisoning their minds with antidepressant drugs that promote violent
behavior and suicides. They're poisoning their cardiovascular system with
beta-blockers and other drugs. And of course they're poisoning their livers.
And yet people volunteer to do this -- each and every day they will put
these toxic chemicals into their bodies simply because someone with a degree
from a school of disease (also known as medical school) told them to do so.
And, not only that, they will actually pay for the privilege of poisoning
their own bodies.
They'll pay good money too, not just a few hundred dollars a month, but
several thousand dollars a month. Some people will spend six figures a year
poisoning their bodies because their doctor told them to do so. And, then
when something goes wrong and they have a small tumor show up on a
mammogram, or some other blood test comes back positive that indicates they
may have some sort of cancer tumor, they will gladly pay another $100,000 or
more in order to destroy their entire immune system with a treatment known
as chemotherapy.
They will literally sit there and let other doctors inject highly toxic
poisons directly into the bloodstream and allow them to circulate through
their body. How toxic is this stuff? Well, gee, think about it, your hair
falls out, you get sick and you vomit -- are these signs that maybe this
stuff doesn't belong in your body? I don't know about you, but I think
that's a very strange way to heal someone. If I were a medical professional
and I were healing someone, and I had them do something which made their
hair fall out and they started vomiting and it looked like they were going
to melt away right before my very eyes, I would think that, hey, maybe this
isn't good for them. But that's not what conventional oncologists think.
They think, oh, this is great stuff. Look, we're going to destroy the cancer
tumor and, if we're lucky, there may even be a patient left by the time
we're done. And if not -- that's alright, as long as they pay the bill.
Official, government-approved drug dealers
We as a species actually have a class of professionals, highly-paid
professionals, who we give the right to poison us with toxic chemicals.
These people are called doctors. I call them drug dealers. Just like illegal
drugs, their drugs kill people. The main difference is that these "legal"
drugs enrich politically influential corporations, whereas illegal drugs
enrich drug lords. Our national "War on Drugs" is quite selective in its
targets, don't you think? Industrial hemp is outlawed, but doping up
millions of children on powerful narcotics is perfectly legal: it's called
Ritalin.
So remember, we're the only species stupid enough to actually poison
ourselves. And if we don't do it in just one or two ways, we do it in half a
dozen different ways! Then we regulate that poisoning, we make it federal
law! And we have lobbyists and groups out there defending this use of poison
in the food supply, and defending the use of it in cosmetic products and
personal care products. We have defenders of the drug industry, people who
say, "Yeah, well there was a study five years ago that showed a 1200 percent
heart attack increase, but we thought that really wasn't relevant to this
drug and we decided to go ahead and market that drug anyway." That's what we
have today. And the real details of this gruesome story have only begun to
be uncovered. Wait until the rest of the story comes out...
We're #1!
Is it any wonder, with all of the poisoning going on at all the different
levels in our bodies, that we are now the most chronically diseased
population that has ever been recorded in the history of civilization? It's
true -- there is no population that has suffered from diseases like we do in
America today. You would have to be clinically insane to not think that
there's a correlation between the poison we are putting into our bodies and
the diseases we are getting as a result.
Plus, as recent studies have shown, we're the #1 nation in the world in
terms of mental disorders as well! Let's see: #1 in obesity, #1 in diabetes,
#1 in cancer, #1 mental disorders, and we have the HIGHEST health care costs
in the world, too. We have the most expensive drugs in the world. We have
more doctors and health care professionals per capita than any country in
the world. And, frighteningly, we're the country with the most nukes. Great
idea, huh? Put the nuclear weapons under control of the most mentally
disturbed population in the world... now if only our leaders were at least
sane...
But no, wait a minute -- the doctors are right, all diseases are just
genetic. None of these poisons matter, it's just your genes. They say the
gene pool of the human race was perfectly fine 100 years ago when people
didn't have all these diseases, but it has somehow mutated to a gene pool
that gives you heart disease and cancer and osteoporosis and diabetes, and,
by the way, there's nothing you can do about it. That's what they want you
to believe, because then they take away your power. Then you have no ability
to make changes.
Actually, we're pretty darned clever, aren't we?
So not only are we the most stupid species on the planet, because we're
poisoning ourselves, we are simultaneously the cleverest species, because we
find ways to justify all that poisoning. We find scientific gobbledygook to
claim that, yes, NutraSweet is good for you! Or that these chlorine atoms
attached to sugar are great for you, or that mercury in your mouth somehow
doesn't have a toxic effect on your body. Or that hydrogenated oils are
perfectly fine for your heart health.
We stupidly say if you take those and you drink this weight loss shake made
with sugar, you'll be healthy. And if you have this barbaric surgical
procedure called gastric bypass surgery, you'll no longer be obese. And if
you're not healthy, don't worry; we have magic bullet prescription drugs
that will make you even healthier. So we're a clever population at the same
time that we're incredibly stupid. Do you know what that's called? That's
called being a population of great technicians and lousy healers. And that's
exactly what we are today.
Having used the word "stupid" throughout this editorial, I use it
deliberately. I don't mean it in the way that a teenager might say, "My
stupid little brother flipped me off." I mean it in a more precise way, in
the way defined by Dictionary.com:
Stupid:
1. Slow to learn or understand; obtuse.
2. Tending to make poor decisions or careless mistakes.
3. Marked by a lack of intelligence or care; foolish or careless: a stupid
mistake.
4. Dazed, stunned, or stupefied.
Can you think of a better word to describe the people around here?
As Einstein once said, "Only two things are infinite, the universe and
human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former."
