Creating A Better World

Depleted uranium is a by-product of the enrichment process used to make nuclear fuel.  It has been used in armor-piercing ammunition and in armor for fighting vehicles.

Fine particles of depleted uranium are created when munitions made with the material strike a target.

A new study published in the journal Health Physics indicates that soldiers may absorb depleted uranium particles through inhalation, ingestion, or wound contamination.

U.S. veterans who were exposed to depleted uranium during the 1991 Gulf War have continued to excrete the potentially harmful chemical in their urine for years after their exposure.

More than 1,000 tons have been used in Afghanistan and more than 3,000 tons in Iraq.

D.U. is causing permanent disability and death for hundreds of thousands of American veterans who served in the Middle East.

Depleted uranium contamination causes virtually every known illness from acute skin rashes, severe headaches, muscle and joint pain, and general fatigue, to major birth defects, infection, depression, cardiovascular disease, brain tumors, and every other type of cancer. Uranium replaces calcium, destroying teeth and bones.

Since DU has a half-life of 4.5 billion years, there is very little decay of those DU materials.

In May, 1997, the International Action Center published a book of essays and lectures on depleted uranium: the contamination of the planet by the United States military. In addition to exposing the deadly duplicity of the Department of Defense, the book documents the genocide of Native Americans and Iraqis by military radiation, the connection between depleted uranium and Gulf War Syndrome, the underestimated dangers from low-level radiation, the legal ramifications of DU production and use, and the growing movement against DU.

Electronic waste, or e-waste as it is commonly referred to, is unwanted, obsolete, or unusable electronic products such as computers and computer peripherals, televisions, VCRs, DVD players, stereo equipment, and hand-held cell phones.

A typical 17-inch computer monitor contains approximately 2.2 pounds of lead while a 27-inch color television contains up to 8 pounds of lead. The 500 million computers that became obsolete between 1997 and 2007  contained nearly 1.6 billion pounds of lead.

Even though there is an international treaty banning the export of hazardous waste, the United States is one of only a few countries which have not ratified it.  Other countries which refuse to comply include Haiti and Afghanistan.

In “Digital Dumping Ground,” airing Tuesday, June 23, 2009, at 9:00 p.m. ET on PBS, Peter Klein and his team expose an industry that is polluting the environment and poisoning the people who live and work among the waste, scavenging for scrap metals.  CLICK HERE fo local listings

The main function of the immune system is to protect the body against foreign invaders such as disease-causing bacteria, fungus, viruses and other toxins.  One of the ways it does this is by producing inflammation, which is when the body produces white blood cells and and other chemicals to protect itself from foreign substances.

We are constantly told that autoimmune diseases occur when the body “attacks itself” supposedly creating inflammation in healthy tissue.  However, the body knows what it is doing when it tries to protect itself.  Instead of assuming that the body is “attacking itself” we could look at the thousands of toxins in our food and environment and note that in this huge chemical burden the body is doing it’s best to protect itself from poisons.  When we try to halt the inflammation without addressing the underlying CAUSE of the inflammation, we set the stage for more deadly diseases such as cancer.

Inflammation is your body telling you that the toxic overload is too much to bear.

“Man’s chief delusion is his conviction that there are causes other than his own state of consciousness.  All that befalls a man - all that is done by him - all that comes from him - happens as a result of his state of consciousness.  A man’s consciousness is all that he thinks and desires and loves, all that he believes is true and consents to.  That is why a change of consciousness is necessary before you can change your outer world.”  ~Neville Goddard

Neville Goddard, better known as just Neville, was one of the most dramatic and supremely influential teachers in the New Thought field for many years, because he understood the basic principle that ancient wisdom and holy books have told us for ages, “As a man thinketh, so is he”.

Studies have shown that when people feel loved or give love they live longer, feel happier, have better health, make more money and are less prone to depression.

Love, compassion and joy make our immune system function better and help fight diseases.

Researchers found happily married people had the best blood pressure, followed by singles. Unhappily married participants fared the worst.

In another study, researchers subjected 16 married women to the threat of an electric shock. When the women were holding their husband’s hand, they showed less response in the brain areas associated with stress. The happier the marriage, the greater the effect.

Researchers at Ohio State University Medical Center gave married couples blister wounds. The wounds healed nearly twice as fast in spouses who interacted warmly compared with those who demonstrated a lot of hostility toward each other. The study was published in the Archives of General Psychiatry.

Oxytocin is a brain chemical that is released when mothers and babies first bond.

Massage, eye contact, hugs, and orgasms all increase oxytocin levels. A close, loving relationship increases the production of this brain chemical (single men and women produce less oxytocin than those in intimate relationships). Any positive experience can increase oxytocin levels – and so can simply recalling positive events.  Oxytocin is associated with positive relationships.

Dr Kai MacDonald and other University of California (San Diego) researchers are theorizing that oxytocin could help with psychological disorders. It reduces fear, increases eye contact, and increases trust and generosity.

In another study, people who considered themselves to be passionately in love were given brain scans (MRIs) and it was seen that the brain sees romantic love as a reward, stimulating activity in the same areas that light up when a person receives any kind of a reward.

Black elderberry has been used as a natural remedy for common ailments such as coughs and colds for centuries but recent research has pinpointed an active element called Antivirin which combats the flu virus. Antivirin is found in proteins of the black elderberry and disarms the flu virus by preventing it from invading healthy cells’ membranes. 

Elderberry has a very high ORAC, or oxygen radical absorption capacity: over twice as much as blueberry. In addition, antioxidants called flavonoids stimulate the immune system. Other compounds in elderberry, called anthocyanins, have an anti-inflammatory effect; which would explain the effect on aches, pains, and fever.

A study done by Erling Thom, with the University of Oslo in Norway, involved 60 patients who had been suffering with flu symptoms for 48 hours or less; 90% were infected with the A strain of the virus, 10% were infected with type B. Half the group took 15 milliliters of Sambucol (a brand of elderberry extract)  and the other group took a placebo four times a day for five days. 

Patients in the Sambucol group had “pronounced improvements” in flu symptoms after three days: Nearly 90% of patients had complete cure within two to three days. Also, the Sambucol group had no drowsiness, the downside of many flu treatments.

The placebo group didn’t recover until at least day six; they also took more painkillers and nasal sprays.

Thom’s findings were presented at the 15th Annual Conference on Antiviral Research in 2002. The study has been accepted for publication in the Journal of International Medical Research.

Subsequent research has also shown black elderberry extract to be effective against the Herpes simplex, HIV and Bird Flu virus.

Up to 90% of acne can be cleared up after a 4 to 8 week treatment which includes blue light, mixed blue and red light, and cool white light.

Visible 405 nm SLD light destroys methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) in vitro.

LumeRX, a private firm, has developed technology that destroys the bacteria that cause stomach ulcers by using specific wavelengths of light.

It’s called phototherapy, and the number of potential applications for this technology are staggering.

Many studies have been done proving the effectiveness of LED lights to kill bacteria and treat acne, mouth sores from chemotherapy and diabetic wounds.

Light-based therapy can also treat depression, heal broken bones, heal flesh wounds, invoke healthy sleep patterns, and even function as an appetite suppressant. Using it to kill bacteria is just one of many exciting applications of phototherapy.

Light emitting diodes (LED’s) commonly used for clock displays and in many other electronic devices - produce near-infrared light, a form of energy just outside the visible range. Cells exposed to LED light in this range have been found to grow 150% to 200% faster than cells not exposed to a  LED “bath” because, in simple terms, the light  speeds up the healing process by increasing energy inside the cells.

In one study pure samples and those containing dental plaque were collected from patients with chronic periodontitis and exposed to varying degrees of broadband light. This is the same light source commonly used in teeth whitening procedures. The researchers compared bacterial presence before and after light treatment and found that bacteria were significantly reduced after exposure.

UV light kills cells by damaging DNA. It causes the nucleic acids in DNA to break their bonds and pair incorrectly (thymine seems to be especially affected). This causes the DNA to either be unreadable or misread, and that in turn causes the bacteria or viruses to be unable to carry out their normal functions or reproduce correctly.

As you know UV light is harmful for most organisms - the effects are more pronounced for bacteria and viruses, since the DNA in viruses and bacteria tends to be poorly shielded (it’s more exposed to the UV light).

Even before the baby Jesus received Myrrh as a gift over 2000 years ago, it was one of the most desired and sought after items in the world. It is mentioned in the Bible over 22 times and it was used as incense in religious rituals. The Egyptians believed in its healing powers: they burned it every day as part of their  rituals.                          

In the Greek culture when soldiers went to battle it was an essential part of their combat gear because of myrrh’s extremely high antiseptic and anti-inflammatory properties. It was used to clean wounds and to prevent infection. It was also used to prevent the spread of gangrene in already infected parts of the body.

Myrrh has been used medicinally for centuries, for treating conditions ranging from battle wounds to skin inflammations. The Greek physician Hippocrates prescribed it for sores, and the Romans used it to treat worm infestations, coughs, and certain infections.               

Myrrh stimulates circulation to mucosal tissues, especially in the bronchial tract, throat, tonsils, and gums. It is an anti-inflammatory, an antioxidant, and antimicrobial, making it ideal for painful or swollen tissues. It is useful for bleeding gums, gingivitis, tonsillitis, sore throat (including strep throat), and bronchitis. The increased blood supply helps fight infection and speed healing of colds, congestion, or infection of the throat or mouth.

Myrrh is also an expectorant, which means it promotes the expulsion of mucus in cases of bronchitis and lung congestion. Myrrh is best for chronic conditions with pale and swollen tissues, rather than for acute, inflamed, red, and dry tissues, because it contains tannins and resins, which have an astringent effect on tissues.

Taken internally myrrh is a beneficial treatment for loose teeth, gingivitis, and bad breath. The tincture may also be applied directly to a tooth to relieve tooth ache. It is antifungal, and has been used to treat athlete’s foot and candida.

So strong are the antimicrobial effects of myrrh that the ancient Egyptians relied on this plant for the process of embalming and mummification.

Exclusive Interview with Billy Best, who Fled Chemotherapy at Age 16 and Beat Hodgkin’s Lympoma

Many people around the world have overcome cancer using only natural methods.  These people allow the body to HEAL naturally, using proper diet and nutrition, eliminating toxins and chemicals that cause cancer in the first place, and strengthening the body with herbs and foods.

Everyone needs to read this interview of Billy Best.  In 1994, Billy was diagnosed with Hodgkin’s Lymphoma, just like Daniel Hauser.  He ran from the law (which has no business forcing Big Pharma poisons on children when natural alterrnatives abound) and healed himself.  Fifteen years later he is HEALTHY, like so many others who address the CAUSE of cancer.

The March 1978 issue of Science Digest, in an article, “Our Mightiest Germ Fighter,” reported: “Thanks to eye-opening research, silver is emerging as a wonder of modern medicine. An antibiotic kills perhaps a half-dozen different disease organisms, but silver kills some 650. Resistant strains fail to develop. Moreover, silver is virtually non-toxic.” The article ended with a quote by Dr. Harry Margraf, a biochemist and pioneering silver researcher who worked with the late Carl Moyer, M.D., chairman of Washington University’s Department of Surgery in the 1970s: “Silver is the best all-around germ fighter we have.”

Silver has long been recognized in recorded history (as early as 69 B.C.) as having germicidal properties.  In the days before refrigeration, farmers tossed a silver coin in a bucket of milk to preserve it. Chemists put silver dimes in Petri dishes to sterilize them. For many years, it was common practice to place silver wires and threads around infected wounds that refused to heal.

Documented scientific and specific use of colloidal silver began in the late 1800’s and continued extensively through the 1920’s. Prior to 1938, colloidal silver was considered to be one of the mainstays of antibiotic treatment.

The return of silver in medicine began in the 1970s. While studying regeneration of limbs, spinal cords and organs, Robert O. Becker, M.D., author of The Body Electric, discovered that silver ions promote bone growth and kill surrounding bacteria.

Also in the 70s, Dr. Carl Moyer, chairman of Washington University’s Department of Surgery, received a grant to develop better treatment for burn victims. His team worked to find a strong antibiotic that would be safe enough to use over large areas of the body. Reviewing medical literature, they found repeated references to silver. It was described as being a catalyst that disabled the enzymes which microorganisms depended on to “breathe”, consequently, the microorganisms died. Dr. Moyer’s team diluted silver nitrate and found that it killed the pseudomonas aeruginosa bacteria and allowed wounds to heal. Resistant strains did not appear. But this silver nitrate dilution was far from ideal so they kept looking into other preparations of silver. As a result of this and other researchers’ efforts, hundreds of important new medical uses for silver were found.

The presence of colloidal silver near a virus, fungus, bacterium or any other single celled pathogen disables its oxygen metabolism enzyme. Within a few minutes, the pathogen suffocates and dies, and is cleared out of the body by the immune, lymphatic and elimination systems. Unlike pharmaceutical antibiotics, which destroy beneficial enzymes, colloidal silver leaves these tissue-cell enzymes intact, as they are radically different from the enzymes of primitive single-celled life.

Coloidal silver is mostly fine particles of silver, whereas ionic silver is predominantly silver ions with a small amount of silver particles.  You can make your own ionic silver at home using silver rods and a few batteries, or you can buy a colloidal silver maker which is basically the same thing. 

There have been a few cases of argyria reported by people using extreme amounts of silver, this is a condition that causes the skin to turn blue.

Garlic’s health benefits and medicinal properties have long been known, it’s considered an herbal “wonder drug”, with a reputation in folklore for preventing everything from the cold and flu to the plague.

Garlic is rich in a variety of powerful sulfur-containing compounds including thiosulfinates, sulfoxides and dithiins.  While these compounds are responsible for garlic’s characteristically pungent odor, they are also the source of many of its health-promoting effects. In addition, garlic is an excellent source of manganese, a very good source of vitamin B6 and vitamin C and a good source of selenium.

Allicin, one of the sulfur-compounds responsible for garlic’s odor, is a powerful antibacterial and antiviral agent that joins forces with vitamin C to help kill harmful microbes. In research studies, allicin has been shown to be effective not only against common infections like colds, flu, stomach viruses, and Candida yeast, but also against powerful pathogenic microbes including tuberculosis and botulism.

One study conducted at the University of California Irvine Medical Center and published in the December 2003 issue of Nutrition showed that garlic juice, even when diluted up to 1:128 of the original juice, demonstrates significant antibacterial activity against many pathogens, including antibiotic-resistant strains such as methicillin- and ciprofloxacin-resistant staphylococci, vancomycin-resistant enterococci, and ciprofloxacin-resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa. A second study found that garlic was able to inhibit methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MSRA) from human patients that was injected into laboratory animals.  (MSRA is one of the antibiotic resistant bacteria whose incidence has risen dramatically in recent years in hospitals.)

In modern naturapathy, garlic is used as a treatment for intestinal worms and other intestinal parasites, both orally and as an anal suppository. Garlic cloves are used as a remedy for infections (especially chest problems), digestive disorders, and fungal infections such as thrush.

In olden days, Garlic was used specificly for leprosy. It was also believed that it had  beneficial results in cases of smallpox, if cut small and applied to the soles of the feet in a linen cloth, renewed daily.

It is stated that during an outbreak of infectious fever in certain poor quarters of London, early last century, the French priests who constantly used Garlic in all their dishes, visited the worst cases and stayed healthy, while the English clergy caught the infection, and in many instances fell victims to the disease

In 1858, Louis Pasteur observed garlic’s antibacterial activity.

It was used as an antiseptic to prevent gangrene during World War I and World War II.

The hydrogen peroxide molecule (H202) is basically water (H20) with an extra oxygen atom attached. When that oxygen gets released against germs, it “oxidizes” them.

Your own white blood cells produce hydrogen peroxide because it’s your body’s first and best defense against any infection. It kills bacteria, viruses, yeast, and parasites.  The ability of our cells to produce hydrogen peroxide is essential for life.

The friendly bacteria in the colon and vagina are aerobic. In other words, they flourish in high oxygen environments and thrive in the presence of oxygen rich H202.

On the other hand, most strains of harmful bacteria (and cancer cells) are anaerobic and cannot survive in the presence of oxygen or H202.

Researchers now know that vitamin C helps fight infections by producing hydrogen peroxide, which in turn stimulates the production of prostaglandins. Also lactobacillus found in the colon and vagina produce hydrogen peroxide. This destroys harmful bacteria and viruses, preventing colon disease, vaginitis, bladder infections and a host of other common ailments

Hydrogen Peroxide can be used  as a vegetable wash or soak to kill bacteria and neutralize chemicals. It can also be used to disinfect your dishwasher or refrigerator. Commercially, it is used in aseptic packaging  to prevent spoilage and provide shelf life without refrigeration. It is also great to use in the garden. You can use it on trees and plants as a natural fungicide, insecticide, and also as a weed killer.

35% Hydrogen Peroxide is used world wide in municipal water supplies instead of chlorine to disinfect and stop the growth of unwanted organisms.

You can inexpensively make your house cleaner and safer just by substituting hydrogen peroxide for those caustic chemicals you are currently using.

H2O2 can be diluted and used as a safe mouthwash also, unlike alcohol-containing mouthwash which is associated with oral cancer (see Mouthwash and Cancer).

Your local drugstore’s low quality 3% Hydrogen Peroxide has added chemicals and should not be used, buy “food grade” hydrogen peroxide instead.
