<p class="alinharCentralizar"><em>Until recently the super elite of this planet considered<br />money the most precious commodity to control but they have been<br />changing their minds and buying up as many water sources as possible.</em></p>
<p><span class="paragrafo"> </span>When asked to rank the most important service, 95 percent of U.S. voters put water in first place followed by electricity, heat, Internet, cell phone, landline phone, cable TV, and cooling systems, respectively. Everyone instinctively understands the importance of water but collectively we have been ignoring the warning signs indicating that a huge percentage of humanity is not going to be staying with us much longer as food and water shortages impact us like dual sledge hammers. All of our projections of vastly increased populations are going to run into the brick wall of water scarcity and terrible water quality.</p>
<p><span class="paragrafo"> </span><strong class="vermelhoBordo">The depletion of global water resources is more  rapid, severe, and complex than anyone anticipated</strong>. In many areas of the world like the United States and China, where  people have enjoyed enough water to build their industrial civilizations, those  water resources are running lower every year. The unshakable thirst for water  is now colliding with the reality of shrinking supplies. <strong class="vermelhoBordo">Water  use has been growing at more than twice the rate of population growth in the last century</strong> with many areas in actual danger of running out  or becoming seriously and chronically short of water.</p>
<p><span class="paragrafo"> </span>As water gets more and more precious, the potential for dispute and conflict only grows. If during the last 100 years we witnessed the rise and fall of nations over oil, this next hundred years will be determined by water. It is a key component of national security. Life runs out when water becomes unavailable and that is already happening in certain parts of the world. The competition for water could even make life in some of America’s largest cities nearly <a href="http://247wallst.com/2010/10/29/the-ten-great-american-cities-that-are-dying-of-thirst/#ixzz13zOcyCv7">unbearable</a> for residents. Only fools in the future will take water for granted. It is going to become more expensive as it’s increasingly perceived as the precious resource it is.</p>
<p><span class="paragrafo"> </span>In the United States 36  states already expect to be facing water shortages by 2013. On October 19, 2010  the water level in Lake Mead, the massive reservoir that fills the taps of  millions of people across the Southwest, reached a record low, the Federal Bureau of  Reclamation <a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2010/10/19/science/earth/19brfs-LAKEMEADDIPS_BRF.html?_r=2">reported</a>. Even as  thunderstorms dropped rain on the Las Vegas area, Lake Mead’s level dropped to  1,083.18 feet above sea level just before noon on Sunday, and fell farther, to  1,083.09 feet. Lake Mead is still eight feet above the level at which rationing  could go into effect in Nevada and Arizona.</p>
<p class="inContentTitle"><strong class="vermelhoBordo">Water is the New Oil</strong></p>
<p class="alinharCentralizar"><span class="paragrafo"> </span><a href="http://rt.com/Top_News/2010-10-21/pure-water-new-oil.html?fullstory"></a><a href="http://rt.com/Top_News/2010-10-21/pure-water-new-oil.html?fullstory"><img src="http://blog.imva.info/wp-content/uploads/2010/11/clip_image0022.jpg" alt="image" width="300" height="225" border="0" /></a></p>
<p><span class="paragrafo"> </span>“<a href="http://rt.com/Top_News/2010-10-21/pure-water-new-oil.html?fullstory">Russia</a> is considering becoming the world’s top supplier of  fresh water as growing demand turns it into a strategic resource. The future  global water crisis is indeed a gloomy thing: by 2030 half of world’s  population will face a fresh water deficit, according to the UN’s World Water Assessment  Program forecast. Thirsty nations will take up arms against their saturated  neighbors. People drinking polluted water will become ill. Ecologies will die  out when the rivers feeding them are depleted for the sake of human farms and  factories. . Russia has the world’s  second-largest water reserves after Brazil (it’s hard to compete with the  Amazon River, but having in your territory the world’s largest lake, Baikal,  which contains 20 percent  of the world’s fresh surface water, really helps).” </p>
<p><span class="paragrafo"> </span><em>Water is the New Oil</em> reads the headline in this article about Russia  and that is no understatement especially when you look at the fact that water  can actually replace oil as a source of energy. But that is not the point, at  least not yet. The point is that life is going to change dramatically simply  because there is not going to be enough water for agriculture, industry, and human consumption at  the same time</p>

<p><span class="paragrafo"> </span>The water security of our  planet is running into a brick wall according to <a href="http://www.nature.com/nature/journal/v467/n7315/full/nature09440.html">a comprehensive survey of  waterways released in</a> September of 2010.  At risk are the water supplies of nearly 80 percent of humanity, and two-thirds  of the world’s  river habitats. Rivers, wetlands, lakes, and the life that relies on them, are  at risk around the world because of a variety of stresses, including overuse of  water, pollution, pesticide runoff, introduction of exotic species, and  overfishing, according to the new study, published in the journal <a href="http://www.nature.com/"><em>Nature</em></a>. Nearly all European  water resources are highly threatened by <a href="http://www.naturalnews.com/029922_rivers_pesticides.html">environmental</a> factors, as are most in the U.S., Central Asia, the Middle East, subcontinent  India, and eastern  China.</p>
<p><span class="paragrafo"> </span> According to water experts at the United Nations, <strong class="vermelhoBordo">more than 45 percent of the world’s populations – more than 3 billion people – are already in need of more clean water.</strong> They cite research from The World Bank that shows that more than 80 countries now have water shortages that threaten their health and economies. Will we reach that point where the rich have clean water to drink and the rest not? The same question is already  answered when it comes to food with a billion doing without. Water and food, food and water; there is no doubt that with each passing year more and more will do without and they will die.</p>
<p><span class="paragrafo"> </span>There is a widening gap between  water supplies and needs in the world that is coming into full crisis mode now.  Certain areas of the world are already there and people have to flee, becoming <strong class="vermelhoBordo">water  refuges</strong>. <a href="http://www.jsonline.com/business/105186764.html">The Johnson Foundation</a> has released a report called “Charting New Waters” showing that water  shortages can undermine the U.S. economy. “We&#8217;re at a crossroads,” said S. Curtis Johnson. “We can no longer  treat water as if it were merely a cheap and non-strategic resource with  infinite supply. We have to recognize that fresh water is the life blood of our  economy.” Water  shortages will take a huge chunk out of economies in the future as they  simultaneously take a serious toll in terms of human life and population  numbers. There is not enough water for the future of all the men, women and  children on our planet.</p>
<p><span class="paragrafo"> </span>Kevin Drum of <a href="http://motherjones.com/kevin-drum/2010/10/coming-mega-drought">Mother Jones</a> writes, “The Sahel drought killed upwards of a million people, and since then the steady increase in drought conditions in sub-Saharan Africa has probably contributed to ongoing crises in Darfur, Chad, and elsewhere. Now imagine what the world will be like when droughts are twice as bad, last twice as long, and cover not just sub-Saharan Africa but upwards of half the landmass of the planet.”</p>
<p><span class="paragrafo"> </span>“Around the world, the welcome mat for outsiders is being rolled up on a scale rarely seen in history as economies continue to struggle and worries about cultural identities rise. In Europe, some countries have attempted to pay Africans and others to head back home, while Israelis are legislating against immigration in the name of demographic survival. Across continents, countries have closed doors on vulnerable refugees, and, in some places, nativism has reached such heights that urban residents even want their own rural migrants banished outside city limits,” reports <a href="http://news.yahoo.com/s/csm/20101009/wl_csm/329609;_ylt=Aq3BxgL4YXhqpkZUBAPeWTqs0NUE;_ylu=X3oDMTFiZGxqa3I5BHBvcwM1MwRzZWMDYWNjb3JkaW9uX3dvcmxkBHNsawNnbG9iYWxkb29yc3M-">The Christian Science Monitor</a>. The world is changing rapidly and it’s a bad time to be in the wrong place, especially if it’s a place running out of water.</p>
<p><span class="paragrafo"> </span>The farmlands spreading north  and east of this Euphrates River town were once the breadbasket of the region,  a vast expanse of golden wheat fields and bucolic sheep herds. Julien Goldstein  for <a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2010/10/14/world/middleeast/14syria.html?th&amp;emc=th">The  New York Times</a> wrote in October of 2010 that, “<strong class="vermelhoBordo">Refugees have  left their farmlands and are living in tents in Al Raqqa, Syria because of a drought</strong>. Now, after four consecutive years of drought, this  heartland of the Fertile Crescent – including much of neighboring Iraq – appears to be turning barren, climate  scientists say. Ancient irrigation systems have collapsed, underground water  sources have run dry,  and hundreds of villages have been abandoned as farmlands turn to cracked  desert and grazing animals die off. Sandstorms have become far more common, and  vast tent cities of dispossessed farmers and their families have risen up  around the larger towns and cities of Syria and Iraq. “I had 400 acres of  wheat, and now it’s all desert,” said Ahmed Abdullah, 48, a farmer who is  living in a ragged burlap and plastic tent here with his wife and 12 children  alongside many other migrants. “We were forced to flee. Now we are at less than  zero – no money, no  job, no hope.” </p>
<p class="alinharCentralizar"><span class="paragrafo"> </span><a href="http://www.cnbc.com/id/39312043/"><img border="0" width="422" height="186" src="http://blog.imva.info/wp-content/uploads/2010/11/clip_image004.jpg" alt="A Global Crisis -- Nearly a billion people worldwide lack clean drinking water. Farmers fight for it to water their crops. A precious resource is at risk. -- How long can we go to the well - before it runs dry?" /></a></p>
<p><span class="paragrafo"> </span>The world faces “mass  starvation” if the current patterns and trends continue. Scientists in England  are warning that a “perfect  storm” of food  shortages and water scarcity now threatens to unleash public unrest and  conflict, the government’s  chief scientist, Professor John Beddington, has warned. <a href="#_edn1" name="_ednref1" title="" id="_ednref1">[1]</a> “People do not quite realize the scale of  the issue,” said  Professor Mike Bevan. “This  is one of the most serious problems that science has ever faced.” In Britain the lives of  hundreds of thousands of people will be threatened by food shortages. </p>

<p><span class="paragrafo"> </span>As my readership has grown it has become harder to be as personal as I was in the early days of the IMVA. Many things have changed during the past few years and my tendency has been to become more reclusive even as my work expands. It is truly amazing that I have, in the space of a few short years, been able to impact the way many clinicians practice their medicine. <a href="http://publications.imva.info/index.php/e-books/natural-allopathic-medicine.html">Natural Allopathic Medicine</a> is seeing the light of day and I continue to get letters of people’s success stories.</p>
<p><span class="paragrafo"> </span>If one looks at all my sites one can see I am one of the most open and exposed individuals on the planet, willing to share about everything, but in my personal life the need only increases to be cautious with people and how I spend my time. I used to be the kind of person who was too open, too ready to share my vulnerability and thus in my younger days was perceived as needy. Now I have swung perhaps to the opposite extreme but am happy with the intimacies of family life and solitude when not otherwise engaged.</p>
<p><span class="paragrafo"> </span>These past few days I have been climbing to the top of a mountain to sit quietly at the source of a river in the interior highlands of Brazil. It’s a perfect place to meditate and ponder the Waters of Life as I work to finish my book on water. It is a great responsibility to be writing on water because it is so important and basic to life. People have been praying and pleading with me not to fall into a commercial hole like some of my peers have.</p>
<p><span class="paragrafo"> </span>It is my almost fanatical attachment to truth that protects me from such a fall and also my freedom from greed or the insecurity that propels most people to always seek more riches even when they have enough. There is something higher guiding me, or just my pure heart (organ of truth), which has been able to sniff out medical truth like a hound dog.</p>
<p><span class="paragrafo"> </span>I have been publically called a humanitarian, and one way in which I have tried to care for our race as a whole is to establish a form of medicine that is affordable to everyone. That is not easy when we find billions living on less than five dollars a day. But the world’s governments could easily supply every man, woman, and child on our planet with enough sodium bicarbonate, iodine, and magnesium chloride, as well as some clay and some other choice items, to make a world of difference in terms of public health.</p>
<p><span class="paragrafo"> </span>I am presently restarting my Sanctuary project, and another way people will find me following a humanitarian footprint is that I am going to share a healthy percentage of what comes from the project with the local village. It is the common people, those more native to the area who have held my soul to Sanctuary, not the more sophisticated ones who have come from all over the world to live in our hidden valley.</p>
<p><span class="paragrafo"> </span>Certainly it is not the doctors from Brasilia who have their retreat homes here who attract me. I met one the other day at a restaurant and when I told her I wanted to open up an iodine plant here to make the <a href="http://iodine.imva.info">Nascent Iodine</a>, she went ballistic about how iodine is bad and then ran off in a huff.</p>
<p><span class="paragrafo"> </span>For many years people have been asking for my recommendations about water filtration and treatment systems, but it is only now that I have come to my final conclusions, which I will be sharing with you all shortly. One cannot be too careful when making universal recommendations about water or anything else in medicine and health.</p>
<p><span class="paragrafo"> </span>Two weeks ago Dr. Oleg Yasko flew in with his wife from Moscow to personally put in my hands the first copy of my second edition <em>Transdermal Magnesium Therapy</em> book translated and printed into Russian. It will still be at least two months before the second edition is out in English. It is gratifying to have Dr. Yasko opening up my work to the Russian people.</p>
<p class="alinharCentralizar"><img src="http://blog.imva.info/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/clip_image002.png" alt="image" width="194" height="227" border="0" /></p>
<p><span class="paragrafo"> </span>He also brought me some wonderful videos made in Russia about water and I will use clips from them to include in the book. I am also friends with water scientist Konstantin Korotkov, who visited with me a year ago with his lovely wife, a doctor inSt. Petersburg. I will be bringing in the work of more than several Russian scientists whose work on water is quite astounding and inspiring. For instance, one would think that water having a memory quite ridiculous, but then we realize that our brains are mostly water. All of human physiology is based on water and that includes the capacity to remember.</p>
<p><span class="paragrafo"> </span>On the western side is my friend Robert Slovack who is the president of Quinton Water. He is an experiencedwater pro and was involved with the development of RO water filtration. Using seawater itself as a medicine is perfectly aligned with my medical miracles from the sea paradigm, which is what <a href="http://blog.imva.info/tag/magnesium-oil">magnesium oil</a> is. Robert has coached me on water for years and I guess he has stuck near me because he recently said, “You are simply the best writer in the health and wellbeing industry.” Gee when one’s friends say things like this… more feelings of responsibility surface and I think I will go play some music instead.</p>
<p><span class="paragrafo"> </span>There is a lot at stake, life is not a joke or a party any longer, but don’t tell that to many first-world people who still think everything is fair. Dr. Garry F. Gordon reports on startling statistics from a Journal of the American Medical Association study, “Double the number of children with chronic health conditions from 12.5 to 26 percent in just the past eight years. At that rate, it can double again in another eight years and the health care crisis will be upon us and the costs can bankrupt everyone. What are the causes of this epidemic of poor health? I hope all of you know by now, it is not a deficiency of drugs.”</p>
<p><span class="paragrafo"> </span>It is sad but true: the children are paying the price of living in a modern civilization driven by profit, comfort and power and we should not mourn its fall when it happens—though it will not be comfortable living in a failing civilization. We are a race of mad beings who have allowed, for thousands of years, mostly monsters to rule and lord over us.</p>
<p><span class="paragrafo"> </span>It’s strange, but as everyone who has ever smoked cigarettes knows, we humans have a suicidal tendency to poison ourselves and there have been plenty of industrialists who have been more than happy to accommodate us. Now we have medical officials insisting that there is no problem with injecting mercury into babies (and everyone else). And again we find insistence that a good booster of mercury (in the flu vaccine) is even good for the children.</p>
<p><span class="paragrafo"> </span>If we were ever to revolt against the insanities of the world system, I would think the first place would be against the CDC and the FDA. No one is holding their breath, though. The vaccinated masses and the pharmaceutically-dependent and drugged-out population just don’t have much left in them to resist, so nature will have to step in and clean up the mess. It is hard to look at the economic and financial storms that are threatening the world economy as a positive development. But perhaps a dramatic collapse will sweep a good part of modern civilization’s institutions away. We should be so lucky because the alternatives are horrifying.</p>
<p><span class="paragrafo"> </span>I am not a man of hate, resentment, or violence. I usually bend like a slender tree in the wind to the realities of the world and the people around me. So it can be hard to express appropriate feelings toward institutions and people who easily compete with the worst from the Nazi era. Since childhood I can remember people asking, “How could the German people have let it all happen?” All we have to do is look around us to study the answer.</p>
<p><span class="paragrafo"> </span>I really don’t like leaving you all with such heavy pronouncements. So I will leave you all with my love and best wishes and my dedication to bring to the world the best guidance in terms of health, medicine and water.</p>

<p>For those of you who wonder if there really is a  treatment or process by which cancer can be correctly dealt with, you will be  more than impressed with this video and testimony on the work of Dr. Tullio  Simoncini in Italy. At the end you will see him using sodium bicarbonate  irrigation during the surgical removal of a large tumor. Sodium bicarbonate can  be used during surgery, can be injected via IVs and catheters, taken orally,  applied transdermally and put in large quantities into ones baths.  It can also be nebulized directly into the  lungs.</p>
<p>I was so impressed by Simoncini and his work a few  years ago I ended up writing the first <a href="http://sodiumbicarbonate.imva.info/">full medical review</a> on the subject of using sodium bicarbonate, not only  for cancer but for a full range of acute and chronic disorders. My personal  work and writings teach people how to use bicarbonate at home orally and  transdermally. When used in conjunction with a full protocol great health  effects are routinely achieved. Even when serious intervention is called for,  as in the above case, patients still have to continue treatments after surgery  when back in the comfort of their own home.</p>
<p>Several physicians have reported less than spectacular  results from using the Simoncini methods. It seems few have been able to  replicate the great understanding and experience that Simoncini carries into  his clinical work. In Rome he has a team of doctors who work with him using his  methods successfully though he continues to be attacked for his revolutionary  work.</p>
<p>Utilizing sodium bicarbonate when dealing with cancer  does not depend on the Simoncini theory that cancer is a fungus but it sure  helps to understand how fungus infections are commonly involved with cancer. I  really do not think Simoncini means that cancer is <em>caused</em> by a fungus. What he is really saying is that it <em>is</em> a fungus or <em>is accompanied by</em> fungus. Though it really does not matter what we  believe, certain substances like sodium bicarbonate have their strong  undeniable effect on human physiology.</p>
<p>The current controversy over  sodium bicarbonate and its use in oncology might be relatively new but baking  soda has a long history of helping people get through the worst medical  conditions.<span class="vermelhoBordo"><strong>Sodium bicarbonate can save the day when  nothing else can</strong></span>.The only other substance about  which we can say the same is <a href="http://www.magnesiumforlife.com/">magnesium  chloride</a>, which when injected will save a person  during cardiac arrest and pull one out of a stroke if given soon enough.</p>
<p>Doctors and others who warn against sodium bicarbonate are doing the  public a great disservice. We have to understand that there are doctors who are  against safe and effective medicine. They prefer to deal with poisons like  mercury, injecting it into babies saying it is safe. There are those who warn  against drinking too much water, of being too hydrated, when the real problem  with patients is usually dehydration.</p>
<p>Medicine and medical practice need to stand dead center on a new  organizing principle of diagnosis and treatment of disease. That center is <span class="vermelhoBordo"><strong>pH Medicine</strong></span>, and <a href="http://sodiumbicarbonate.imva.info/">baking soda</a> would be the principle medical substance for controlling overall pH of  the body. It’s so simple that you don’t even have to be a doctor to practice <span class="vermelhoBordo"><strong>pH Medicine</strong></span>. Every practitioner  of the healing arts needs to educate and teach pH Medicine to their clients as  well as practice it on themselves.</p>

Dehydration is one of the mostoverlooked and basic causes of disease.
 Most people do not look at water as a nutrient but it is, and it is the most important one. We can live for a few months without food but will last only about 10 days without water.

<p class="alinharCentralizar"><em>Dehydration is one of the most<br />overlooked and basic causes of disease.</em></p>
<p><span class="paragrafo"> </span>Most people do not look at water as a nutrient but it is, and it is the most important one. We can live for a few months without food but will last only about 10 days without water. Next to the air we breathe water is the most important element. Every life-giving and healing process that happens inside our body happens with water. Most experts insist that the majority of Americans are chronically under-hydrated and should drink more water, and the reasons behind their insistence are solid.</p>
<p><span class="paragrafo"> </span>Dr. Charles Peterson of NIH says dehydration is mainly a problem among Americans suffering from other illnesses, such as diabetes, or those who undergo extreme exertion, but this is not really true. Anyone can suffer from dehydration and the facts seem to point to the fact that most people suffer from mild dehydration at one time or another. Though everyone understands the vital importance of water, it is impossible to find solid information about dehydration statistics. On the Internet the consensus is that 75 percent of Americans are dehydrated but medical science does not weigh in on this statistic.</p>
<p><span class="paragrafo"> </span>We can assume that dehydration is a real problem, especially for those who believe that beverages like coffee and sodas can substitute for pure drinking water. Eating and drinking the wrong foods will lead to dehydration. Foods such as fruits and vegetables are supposed to provide 20 percent of our water intake – junk foods do little tohelp us remain fully hydrated. <a href="#_edn1" name="_ednref1" title="" id="_ednref1">[1]</a></p>
<p><span class="paragrafo"> </span>Thus under normal circumstances many of us flirt with mild dehydration over sustained periods. This is where things start to go wrong and doctors routinely make matters worse by not only failing to recognize dehydration but also by  prescribing medicines that further depress water levels in the body and blood.</p>
<p><span class="paragrafo"> </span>According to a study published in the <em>Archives of Disease in Childhood</em>, <strong class="vermelhoBordo">more than 70% of preschool children never drink plain water.</strong> Pediatric medicine does not pay attention enough to dehydration that occurs when acute diseases strike <a href="#_edn2" name="_ednref2" title="" id="_ednref2">[2]</a> and <strong class="vermelhoBordo">children can pay with their life for this if doctors then go ahead and administer vaccines when the blood is compromised</strong><strong class="vermelhoBordo">.</strong> One of the most common lawsuits in pediatric emergency room medicine is overlooking dehydration; this tells us of a gaping hole in pediatric medicine that need not be there.</p>
<p><span class="paragrafo"> </span>Shortness of breath is a common symptom of dehydration and when someone experiences this he merely has to drink several glasses of water to feel the body’s almost instant response to hydration. Add some sodium bicarbonate and the response is even greater.</p>
<p><span class="paragrafo"> </span>The first objective sign of dehydration is seen in the vital signs, in an increase of the pulse rate between 10% and 15%. The body tries to maintain cardiac output (the amount of blood that is pumped by the heart to the body); and if the amount of fluid in the intravascular space is decreased, the body has to increase the heart rate, which causes blood vessels to constrict to maintain blood pressure. Other common symptoms of dehydration may include nausea, fatigue, headaches, dry mouth and reduced mental acuity.</p>
<p><strong>Symptoms of moderate to severe dehydration include:</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Low blood pressure</li>
<li>Fainting</li>
<li>Severe muscle contractions in the arms, legs, stomach, and back</li>
<li>Convulsions</li>
<li>A bloated stomach</li>
<li>Heart failure</li>
<li>Sunken fontanelle– soft spot on a head</li>
<li>Sunken dry eyes, with few or no tears</li>
<li>Skin losing its firmness and becoming wrinkled</li>
<li>Lack of elasticity of the skin (when a bit of skin lifted up stays folded and takes a long time to go back to its normal position)</li>
<li>Rapid and deep breathing, faster than normal</li>
<li>Fast, weak pulse</li>
</ul>
<p><span class="paragrafo"> </span>Dehydration, the simple lack of sufficient quantities of water affects cell life profoundly. Water shortages in different parts of the body will manifest different signs and symptoms (cries of thirst), but we normally do not think to treat the cause of the problem with water. It is almost blasphemy among contemporary physicians to think that water can cause or cure diseases.</p>
<p><span class="paragrafo"> </span>Drinking enough water is crucial and when we don’t drink enough, the first sign of that is darkening urine. The color of urine in a dehydrated person will be dark yellow to orange. The more hydrated we are the lighter the color of our urine. Any dark color at all in the urine could indicate a water deficiency.</p>
<p><span class="paragrafo"> </span>Mild dehydration will slow down one’s metabolism as much as 3%. One glass of water shut down midnight hunger pangs for almost 100% of the dieters studied in a University of Washington study. Lack of water is the #1 trigger of daytime fatigue. Preliminary research indicates that 8-10 glasses of water a day could significantly ease back and joint pain for up to 80% of sufferers. Drinking five glasses of water daily decreases the risk of colon cancer by 45% and the risk of bladder cancer by 50%.</p>
<p><span class="paragrafo"> </span><strong class="vermelhoBordo">Dehydration is an underappreciated etiology in many diseases</strong>. Most doctors fail to understand – or refuse to consider – that water plays such a huge part in disease states probably because it is too common of a substance. Water is the first thing we should take as a medicine but physicians rarely prescribe water, and you’ll never hear of a pharmaceutical company recommending it, yet water can prevent and cure many common conditions because intake of sufficient amounts of it is a basic or underlying cause of disease.</p>
<p><span class="paragrafo"> </span>From the perspective of Dr. F.Batmanghelidj <a href="#_edn3" name="_ednref3" title="" id="_ednref3">[3]</a>,  the famous water doctor, most so-called incurable diseases are nothing but labels given to various stages of chronic dehydration. In my work <a href="http://publications.imva.info/index.php/e-books/natural-allopathic-medicine.html">Natural Allopathic Medicine </a>water is the most primary medicine and before one embarks on more radical medical approaches, full hydration with the best water one can manage is a good idea. According to Batmanghelidj, water <strong class="vermelhoBordo">can relieve a broad range of medical conditions.</strong> Bysimply<strong class="vermelhoBordo">adjusting our fluid and mineral intakes</strong> we can treat and prevent dozens of diseases and avoid costly prescription drugs, surgery and other medical procedures and tests.</p>
<p class="inContentTitle"><strong>Dehydrated Cells</strong></p>
<p><span class="paragrafo"> </span>Cells are more vulnerable to chemical poisoning when in a dehydrated state. One overlooked factor in metabolic syndrome and inflammation is dehydration. When you do not drink enough water inflammation feels worse because it gets worse. Certainly dehydration is a contributing and complicating factor in diabetes.</p>
<p><span class="paragrafo"> </span>When for any reason the body cannot deliver the necessary nutrients to the cells and carry away metabolic wastes, we set up the conditions for disease. Dehydration leads to damage from deterioration, because the transporting of nutrients and wastes is diminished and even cut off at strategic points in the body. One of the first protocols for a patient in the emergency room is an intravenous saline solution. Emergency room doctors are well aware that dehydration, second only to oxygen deprivation, robs life fastest.</p>
<p><span class="paragrafo"> </span>Protoplasm, the basic material of living cells, is made of fats, carbohydrates, proteins, salts, and similar elements combined with water. Water acts as a solvent, transporting, combining, and chemically breaking down these substances. A cell exchanges elements with the rest of the body by electrolysis, and in a normal case, minerals and microelements pass through the cell membrane to the nucleus by electro-osmosis. The body needs electrolytes (minerals like sodium, potassium, chloride, and bicarbonate) for its basic functions.</p>
<p><span class="paragrafo"> </span>The cells are made of water and they live in a water solution. Our blood is mostly water and serves to dissolve, process, and transport nutrients and eliminate waste materials. When dehydrated the blood becomes thick and saturated and is unable to flow freely. The excess of toxins must then be stored within the interstitial space surrounding the cells, pending elimination for life to continue, and over time this space begins to resemble a toxic waste site – an acidic medium. Since the cells cannot have the proper oxygenation and nutrition they begin to change in form and function in order to survive.</p>
<p><span class="paragrafo"> </span>Dr. Sang Whang, author of the <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Reverse-Aging-Sang-Y-Whang/dp/0966236319?ie=UTF8" target="_blank"><em>Reverse Aging</em></a><em></em>, says the aging process is basically the accumulation of acidic wastes built up within the body. He says, “The nutrients that we deliver to our cells burn with oxygen and become acidic wastes after giving energy to our body. The body tries its best to get rid of these acidic wastes through urine and perspiration. Unfortunately, our lifestyle, diet and environment prevent our body to get rid of all the wastes that it generates. Gradually, these leftover acidic wastes accumulate somewhere within our body. Since acid coagulates blood, the blood circulation near the waste areas becomes poor, causing all kinds of degenerative diseases to develop&#8230;”</p>
<p><span class="paragrafo"> </span><strong class="vermelhoBordo">When the blood becomes concentrated and acidic, as in dehydration, then abrasions and tears are produced in the arterial system</strong><strong class="vermelhoBordo">. </strong>L-lactic acidosis is thought to arise from poortissue perfusion due to dehydration or endotoxaemiawith subsequent anaerobic glycolysis and decreasedhepatic clearance of L-lactate. We must look beyond what allopathic medicine thinks and see that the body makes more cholesterol in part as a reaction to chronic dehydration, a condition where the body is trying to fix these abrasions and tears that are produced in the arterial system. Cholesterol actually saves people’s lives because it acts as a bandage – a waterproof bandage – that the body has designed.</p>
<p><span class="paragrafo"> </span>The body manifests dehydration in the form of pain with the location of the pain being the point or points where dehydration is most settled. Tests consistently reveal that chronic pain patients suffer from chronic dehydration. A significant number of these patients also have a lower than normal venous blood plasma pH. A person with low venous plasma pH has what is termed acid blood. Acid blood is typically dark in color due to low oxygen content. [Note: The body does whatever is necessary to maintain its blood pH within a narrow window – 7.35-7.45. If this level is not maintained, it is a serious medical emergency.</p>
<p><span class="paragrafo"> </span>Painful joints are often a signal of water shortage, thus the use of painkillers does not cure the problem but instead exposes the person to further damage from these pain medications. Intake of water and small amounts of mineral salts will address this problem especially if that mineral is magnesium.</p>
<p><span class="paragrafo"> </span>Dr. Norman Shealy says, “Every known illness is associated with a magnesium deficiency” and that, “magnesium is the most critical mineral required for electrical stability of every cell in the body. A magnesium deficiency may be responsible for more diseases than any other nutrient.”<strong class="vermelhoBordo">The benefits of drinking water are amplified immensely with water high in <a href="http://www.magnesiumforlife.com">magnesium</a> and<a href="http://sodiumbicarbonate.imva.info"> bicarbonates</a></strong>.</p>
<p class="alinharCentralizar"><img border="0" width="176" height="264" src="http://blog.imva.info/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/clip_image004_0048.jpg" alt="image" /></p>
<p><span class="paragrafo"> </span>Like water we need magnesium every day. When magnesium is present in water, life and health are enhanced. One of the main benefits of drinking plenty of magnesium-rich water is to prevent heart disease and stroke. Fullhydration is essential to help prevent clogging of arteries in the heart and brain and when waters are rich in magnesium, water becomes the primary treatment for hypertension. Full hydration with water and magnesium is crucial in treating high blood pressure without using diuretics or other pharmaceutical medications.</p>

<p><span class="paragrafo"> </span>Today in the studies that are going around people make a distinction between types of Internet users. Not everyone gets the same benefit, the same happiness from their Internet use and the key here is intent. How we approach the Internet and what we intend for the time we invest in the virtual world will determine what we get back from it.</p>
<p><span class="paragrafo"> </span>It is no secret that the way we use our consciousness dictates the kind of life we make for ourselves and that applies to our online life as it does off the net in regular life. Some used to say real life as if virtual life is unreal but that is not the case as anyone who makes their living online knows.</p>
<p><span class="paragrafo"> </span>A May 12 report by British researchers from the U.K.’s Chartered Institute of IT (known as BCS) have found <strong class="vermelhoBordo">a link between Internet access and wellbeing</strong>. Overall, the study found that access to the Internet leads people to feel better about their lives. “Put simply, people with IT access are <strong class="vermelhoBordo">more satisfied with life</strong> even when taking account of income,” said Dr. Michael Willmott. “Our analysis suggests that IT has an enabling and empowering role in people’s lives by increasing their <strong class="vermelhoBordo">sense of freedom and control</strong>, which has a positive impact on wellbeing or <strong class="vermelhoBordo">happiness</strong>.”</p>
<p><span class="paragrafo"> </span>A central aspect of the Internet that is amplifying our consciousness is the ability it gives us to travel around the globe and touch people. We can create and communicate with a network of close friends or colleagues who we get closer to the more we communicate with them. There is a mind-expanding and heart-expanding effect as we begin to identify with these other beings that simultaneously exist and communicate with us.</p>
<p class="alinharCentralizar"><em>We reach out with the speed of consciousness,<br />which is even faster than the speed of light,<br />faster than the fastest internet connection.</em></p>
<p><span class="paragrafo"> </span>Interesting when Francis Cairncross wrote about the Death of Distance. Though he was fascinated about the Internet’s economic force shaping influence on the future he could not imagine its potential to actually <em>amplify certain aspects of human consciousness</em>. What is intuition anyway but the perceptual ability to cut through both time and space – the perceptual capacity and ability to jump through complex labyrinths of intellectual and conceptual sophistry to simple truth?</p>
<p><span class="paragrafo"> </span>The Internet’s distance killing characteristics actually amplify, reinforce and train our inherent human perceptual ability to intuit reality. How? It does this in two ways. Without the distraction of visual, auditory, and general physical cues, we are being forced to stretch other more penetrating potentials of perception. This runs contrary to the entire lockstep thinking about Internet use and its future. Almost all are complaining about the lack of visual cues like that was some kind of devastating handicap and that face-to-face communication was the end all and be all.</p>
<p class="inContentTitle"><strong>Digital Humanity</strong></p>
<p><span class="paragrafo"> </span>As technology progresses more people surround themselves with more than one screen and more than one highway to the expanding digital universe. A typical modern person will listen to a few songs on their <a href="http://nytimes.com.com/mp3-players/apple-ipod-fifth-generation/4505-6490_7-32069546.html?tag=api&amp;part=nytimes&amp;subj=re&amp;inline=nyt-classifier">iPod</a>, then tap out quick e-mails on their <a href="http://topics.nytimes.com/top/reference/timestopics/subjects/i/iphone/index.html?inline=nyt-classifier" title="Recent and archival news about the iPhone.">iPhone</a> in between working on their laptop or using their new iPad.</p>
<p><span class="paragrafo"> </span>Through the decades television has paved the way by speeding up the amount of images and stimulation per period of time, which has decreased people’s patience and comfort with empty space, quiet time, meditation and relaxation.</p>
<p><span class="paragrafo"> </span>The <em>New York Times</em> said, “Everywhere people find themselves they are using phones and other electronic devices to get work done as well as a liable antidote to boredom. Cell phones, which in the last few years have become full-fledged computers with high-speed Internet connections, let people relieve the tedium of exercising, the grocery store line, stoplights or lulls in the dinner conversation. The<strong class="vermelhoBordo"> </strong><strong class="vermelhoBordo">technology makes the tiniest windows of time entertaining, and potentially productive</strong>. But scientists point to an unanticipated side effect: when people keep their brains busy with digital input, they are forfeiting downtime that could allow them to better learn and remember information, or come up with new ideas.”</p>
<p><span class="paragrafo"> </span>Sarah Churchwell, academic and critic, says that the Internet is changing our habits of thinking, which isn’t the same thing as changing our brains. The brain is like any other muscle – if you don’t stretch it, it gets both stiff and flabby. But if you exercise it regularly, and cross-train, your brain will be flexible, quick, strong and versatile. In one sense, the internet is analogous to a weight-training machine for the brain.</p>
<p><span class="paragrafo"> </span>Colin Blakemore, neurobiologist at Oxford University says, “It’s curious that some of the most vociferous critics of the Internet – those who predict that it will produce generations of couch potatoes with minds of mush – are the very sorts of people who are benefiting most from this wonderful, liberating, organic extension of the human mind. They are academics, scientists, scholars and writers who fear that the extraordinary technology they use every day is a danger to the unsophisticated.</p>
<p><span class="paragrafo"> </span>Ian Goodyer, a professor of psychiatry at the University of Cambridge, says, “The Internet is definitely affecting the way I think, for the worse. I fantasize about an entire month away from it, with no news headlines, email inboxes, idle googling or instant messages, the same way retirees contemplate a month in the Bahamas. The Internet means that we can never get away from ourselves, our temptations and obsessions. There’s something depressing about knowing I can literally and metaphorically log on to the same homepage wherever I am in the world.”</p>
<p class="alinharCentralizar"><img src="http://blog.imva.info/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/clip_image003.jpg" alt="image" width="492" height="209" border="0" /></p>
<p class="inContentTitle"><strong class="vermelhoBordo">At the Speed of Consciousness</strong></p>
<p><span class="paragrafo"> </span>Everything that exists, exists in space. All bodies are joined by space. For humans the Internet offers a new space that can connect us like normal space connects all things. This is a new space in which we can live, socialize, do business, love, communicate, build communities, towns and cities, learn, and even get married. But beyond all this lies a new potential, something unseen, unknown even to the most savvy Internet users. Cyber space can be used as a powerful instrument for healing, for spiritual growth, for mental and emotional expansion. With the Internet, when used properly, we can actually expand our awareness as it amplifies certain aspects of our consciousness.</p>
<p class="alinharCentralizar"><em>In our consciousness we can be wherever we want.</em></p>
<p><span class="paragrafo"> </span>In fact you can only be where your heart is. We can be sitting at a movie but when our heart is not there, “we,” our true being is really not there. This hints at our capacity to really travel through time and space and be with people who are not present to our senses. This is all amplified by constant Internet use. We all have an inner consciousness that is independent of the physical location of the body. We can develop this self now more than ever before and in reality we are needing that self. As John Suler, an Internet psychologist stated, “If intuitive perception exists then the difference between in-person and virtual social contact becomes rather insignificant.”</p>
<p class="alinharCentralizar"><em>The basis of true thinking is intuition.</em><br /><span class="esp8"><em>Albert Einstein</em></span></p>
<p class="alinharCentralizar"><img src="http://blog.imva.info/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/clip_image005.jpg" alt="image" width="491" height="327" border="0" /></p>
<p><span class="paragrafo"> </span>Researchers from the Trajectory Partnership, a U.K.-based think tank that carried out the study on behalf of the BCS, analyzed data from 35,000 people across the globe who took part in the World Values Survey from 2005 to 2007. Looking at a number of social and economic factors that determine happiness – including gender, age, income and education – the survey showed that Internet use empowers people by increasing their feelings of security, personal freedom and influence.</p>
<p><span class="paragrafo"> </span>Four in five people around the world reckon internet access is their fundamental right, according to a poll conducted for BBC World Service. Eighty-seven percent of those who used the Internet felt that Internet access should be “the fundamental right of all people.” <a href="http://www.globescan.com/">GlobeScan</a> Chairman Doug Miller commented: “Despite worries about privacy and fraud, people around the world see access to the internet as their fundamental right. They think the web is a force for good, and most don’t want governments to regulate it.”</p>
<p><span class="paragrafo"> </span>The web is our window to the world. With it we have instant access to the largest library in the solar system. It is just a wonderful feeling to be able to get any information any time without even having to leave our own homes.</p>

<p><span class="paragrafo"> </span>Critical thinking skills have always been important to the process of searching for and using information from media such as books, journal articles, radio broadcasts, television reports, and so forth. With the advent of the Internet and World Wide Web, these skills have become even more crucial. One needs an innate ability (intuition combined with astute intellect) to be able to discern truth and valuable information from much of the trash that is put up on the net. The garbage on the net though in no way undermines the backbone of valuable information on the Internet.</p>
<p class="inContentTitle"><strong>Unplugging the Digital Connection</strong></p>
<p><span class="paragrafo"> </span>March 20 has been declared the <strong class="vermelhoBordo">National Day of Unplugging</strong>. Dan Rollman and others are trying to get people to observe a Sabbath Manifesto, an interesting initiative with ten core principles meant to help people slow down their lives once a week. The first principle is to “Avoid Technology.” (Other principles: Connect with loved ones; nurture your health; get outside; avoid commerce; light candles; drink wine; eat bread; find silence; give back.)</p>

<p class="alinharCentralizar"><a href="http://www.saidaonline.com/en/news.php?go=fullnews&amp;newsid=18996"><a href="http://www.saidaonline.com/en/news.php?go=fullnews&amp;newsid=18996"><img src="http://blog.imva.info/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/clip_image002.jpg" alt="image" width="320" height="354" border="0" /></a></a></p>
<p>It is a difficult time in the world, a difficult time to be alive and remain well. Many believe they and the world we live in are well but they hide behind mountains of denial that block all view of the valleys of reality. Scott Peck begins his famous book <em>The Road Less Traveled</em> with the words, “Life is difficult.”</p>
<p>Peck was writing during the golden age of the first world when things were good though the handwriting was on the wall. Previews of what is happening have actually been around since the Bible was written. The Four Horsemen are riding hard down life’s lanes and it’s only the strong, well-prepared and lucky souls who will avoid being trampled.</p>
<p>Some of the things that are destroying our civilization are hundreds of years old and some, like the ancient dynasties and bloodlines of many of the elite, go back thousands of years. The Rothschild and then Rockefeller families perhaps dominate the most recent hundred or two years having come onto the world’s playing board with huge financial muscle and power. Certainly there exists a shocking number of people on this planet who enjoy profiting from the poisoning of it and its inhabitants.</p>
<p>It is profoundly sad to discover that doctors and dentists are part of this group, having been mentally enslaved by the inhumane designs of the richest people and the most powerful corporations. Monsanto will be remembered down through the ages as utterly inhumane, having successfully dominated America’s food chain with its genetically modified seeds, but what pharmaceutical companies have done, followed right behind by the petrochemical and chemical industries, will define the definition of human evil, arrogance, ignorance and foolishness. They have all literally gotten away with murder and there seems to be no end in sight to this criminal behavior.</p>
<p class="inContentTitle"><strong>Against Law</strong></p>
<p>Most people do not know that many laws are actually put on the books and kept there for the purpose of creating crimes and criminals. This is one of the key methods used by the rich, powerful, and well-positioned people in the world to push their agendas on the masses who have no choice but to accept their fate. These laws are unjust and those who administer them are criminals. It’s bad enough when countries go to war for no good reason but even worse is when a country’s leaders go against their own civil populations by creating ridiculously unjust laws that merely produce more criminals.</p>
<p>For example, drug laws are criminal laws. They are cruel laws and they breed cruel people who do dark and dirty things. In fact they are worse than cruel. These laws undermine the very fabric of society by destroying civilization from within. Drug laws are weapons of social mass destruction. They are also highly hypocritical, stupid and destined to fail except in their ability to destroy lives and cultures. They are also insane laws because they make the safest drugs illegal and the most toxic and nasty drugs available at pharmacies on every corner.</p>
<p>Drug laws destroy the integrity of the judicial branch of government. Judges sit smugly behind their desks branding human beings as criminals for having health problems. Addictions are not immoral and punishable; they are often brought on by the pharmaceutical industry and the addictive drugs that are prescribed. Drug laws turn judges into dispensers of injustice – not justice.</p>

<p>This is the best collage of clips  that have been assembled to suggest that Obama is breaking the law. Certainly  he could not be doing this alone. There were plenty of accomplices to this act  of treason on both sides of the aisle plus in&nbsp;the courts.&nbsp;One really  has to wonder about the legitimacy of the people in power and the people who  make the laws if the law can so easily be trampled upon.</p>
<p class="inContentTitle"><strong>As the World Turns</strong></p>
<p>The mainstream media manages to lie to us and hide from us the fact that this planet is in big trouble. There are certain institutions that are in control who are pushing us to our collective ruin, yet many of us are blind to what is happening.</p>
<p>But soon we will become aware of the millions of tons of food that are not going to be around during the next 12 months and the hundreds of millions (on top of the one billion who are already starving according to the UN) who are going to go hungry. In Russia alone this summer over 30 million tons of wheat has been lost and all the fish protein coming from the Gulf is probably poisoned, though the FDA says it’s safe even without having done legitimate tests. A few million tons of grain have been lost in Canada from floods and the list goes on and on around the world due to the more than weird weather.</p>
<p>The world’s largest rice exporter, Thailand, is facing <a href="http://www.taipeitimes.com/News/world/archives/2010/06/10/2003475096">major losses</a> to its next crop of rice as well as a water crisis because of the worst drought in nearly two decades. Thai Rice Mills Association president Chanchai Rakthananon said on Tuesday that rice output for the next crop cycle ending in August could fall to as little as two million tons from a previously forecast five million tons. China’s mid-season and late-season rice crops face increasing threats from pests after <a href="http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/g/a/2010/08/17/bloomberg1376-L7A79I0D9L3501-721EGBVBVNJEH0DEMJDNEN80CP.DTL">widespread floods</a> this summer made conditions ideal for insects to breed, the Ministry of Agriculture said in late August. Losses are calculated to be 800,000 metric tons.</p>
<p>At least half a million metric tons of grains have been destroyed in the Pakistani floods and in the meantime one third of India’s food reserves <a href="http://ibnlive.in.com/news/onethird-of-indias-food-reserves-left-to-rot/127434-3.html?from=tn">rot in the open</a> because there is a lack of adequate storage space. Millions of tons of food sit unprotected in the open. And to top things off, <a href="http://microbiology.suite101.com/article.cfm/virulent-wheat-disease-threatens-global-food-stocks#ixzz0y6iFRASp">strains of the fungus</a> <em>Puccinia graminis</em> – mutant cereal killers – are on the loose, putting most of the world’s wheat in danger. Four newly identified strains of <em>this deadly grain fungus </em>were reported this June at a meeting of the Borlaug Global Rust Initiative (BGRI) hosted by Cornell University and held in St. Petersburg, Russia. The experts concluded that the evolving pathogens may be an even greater threat to global wheat production than the original TTKSK pathotype, more commonly known as Ug99, which was discovered in southwestern Uganda in 1998. But the United States government says don’t worry, there is no problem, so go back to your TVs and stop fretting.</p>
<p>According to award-winning Australian science writer <a href="http://www.theglobeandmail.com/news/world/the-next-global-crisis-hungry-millions-on-the-move/article1680485/">Julian Cribb</a>, there are warning signs of an impending disaster that will dwarf the financial crisis. In his new book <em>The Coming Famine: The Global Food Crisis and What We Can Do To Avoid It</em>, he warns that looming scarcities of water, land, nutrients, oil and fish will leave us unable to feed ourselves within 50 years. This is really pathetic considering the present shortages and the fact that a billion on earth are already starving. Forty million Americans can no longer feed themselves and are now on food stamps and prices are starting to shoot up again.</p>
<p>International food prices have risen to their highest level in two  years, fueled in part by a drought in Russia that lifted the cost of wheat, a  U.N. agency said Wednesday. The Rome-based U.N. Food and Agriculture  Organization said its food price index shot up 5 percent between July and  August. Where are people going to get the money to eat when income levels are  heading down as food prices head up? </p>
<p class="inContentTitle"><strong>Medicine Continues to do Violence against Humanity</strong></p>
<p>Watch out for medical monsters; it’s the beginning of flu season again in the north. In the southern hemisphere in Australia they are banning this year’s flu vaccine because it’s throwing children into convulsions, but the Americans really are hungry to try it out on American’s babies. Finland’s National Institute for Health and Welfare (THL) has suspended the use of the H1N1 vaccine over fears that the shot is linked with a <a href="http://www.prisonplanet.com/finland-suspends-swine-flu-shots-after-vaccine-linked-with-neurological-disorder.html">300 percent increase in cases of the neurological disorder</a> narcolepsy among children and young people over the last six months. See a <a href="http://www.npr.org/blogs/health/2010/08/26/129456941/annual-flu-death-average-fluctuates-depending-on-how-you-slice-it?ft=1&amp;f=1006&amp;sc=YahooNews">discussion</a> on how many people really die from the flu.</p>
<p>A <a href="http://sify.com/news/appeals-court-rejects-autism-vaccine-link-news-health-ki2easbhedd.html">federal appeals court</a> on Friday upheld a ruling that vaccines are not to blame for autism even though they are – in great part at least. The media of course <a href="http://news.google.com/news/story?pz=1&amp;cf=all&amp;ned=us&amp;hl=en&amp;ncl=d-ffO4Zoe1SF4qMnxGjiRCb66_HLM&amp;cf=all&amp;scoring=d">fell all over itself</a> to make sure the word got out. <a href="http://www.thedailybell.com/1325/More-Vaccination-Questions.html">Dr. Wakefield</a> has much to say about the pharmaceutical companies. “<em>In the Merck trial in Australia, Merck revealed how they were determined to deal with doctors who dissented from the use of Vioxx, or considered Vioxx unsafe. And those internal memos talked about how they would discredit them and neutralize them and the last internal memo to be read out had the following line, referring to those doctors, ‘</em><em><strong class="vermelhoBordo">We may have to seek them out and destroy them where they live.</strong></em><em>’ Those are their own words. So sometimes it appears that it’s corporate policy rather than conspiracy theory, but that is the environment in which doctors work and operate and the problems they face if they confront drug company policy. So in answer to your questions: Is there corruption? Is there distortion? Is there manipulation? Absolutely.”</em></p>
<p>The Watchdog Institute, a nonprofit investigative journalism center based at San Diego State University, found that waivers signed by parents who choose to exempt their children from immunizations for kindergarten enrollment have nearly <a href="http://www.signonsandiego.com/news/2010/aug/23/vaccine-refusals-have-nearly-quadrupled/">quadrupled since 1990</a>. California allows parents to opt out of some or all shots on the basis of personal beliefs, be it religious objections or distrust of the medical establishment. A growing number of people around the world are becoming increasingly suspicious of vaccines and for very good reason.</p>
<p class="inContentTitle"><strong>Economics</strong></p>
<p>“Watching economists and media analysts react to breaking economic news is a bit like looking at a flock of pigeons flying over the New York skyline. A true wonder of the urban landscape, the flocks can include hundreds of individuals who show an uncanny ability to stay in tight formation as the group quickly zig-zags between buildings. What may be even more remarkable than their ability to fly randomly while maintaining cohesion is the flock’s refusal to stick to any particular direction for very long, and their determination to fly feverishly without actually going anywhere. Sound familiar?” writes <a href="http://blogs.forbes.com/people/pschiff/">Peter Schiff</a>.</p>
<p>Even the Federal Reserve is publically acknowledging that the ship of state in the United States is slowing, which probably means a massacre is soon going to happen in the stock markets and then who knows, perhaps even the bond market will tank, spreading panic winds throughout the world. Most astute writers have noticed that we hit the iceberg two years back and nothing was done to seal up the hull so we are still going down. Mostly people though are still hopeful that things can continue on as they have been for the last fifty years. The chance for that is zero.</p>

<p> Yes you got it. It’s <a href="http://www.nettavisen.no/vaer/article2971659.ece">snowing</a> already in Norway and Switzerland, and in Southern Germany it feels like November already. The west coast of the United States is also unusually cool. It is time to get your antenna out and feel the earth, feel the climate. Even lowly insects can feel changes in the earth before us humans but if there ever was a time to feel things out it’s now.</p>
<p><strong class="vermelhoBordo"><span style="font-size: 120%;">Special Note:</span></strong> We have just had the biggest toxic disaster in human history in the Gulf of Mexico and another one from all the fires with radiation and heavy metals released from the foliage and soil in Russia. We have a medical system that is woefully impotent to deal with the increasing <strong class="vermelhoBordo">Toxicity Syndrome</strong> (name of my next book) from which people are suffering because medical officials are concerned with viruses, not radiation, chemical poisons, polluting pharmaceuticals or heavy metals. <em>The Age of Treason: 1958 Book Exposes Chemical Attack on Humanity</em> is a good <a href="http://oldthinkernews.com/Articles/oldthinker%20news/age_of_treason.htm">page</a> you can go to for a brief view of the staggering disaster on our hands in toxic terms. It does not matter today if you are an allopath, chiropractor, acupuncturist or naturopath, every healthcare professional has to be trained in the best ways of treating Toxicity Syndrome if they sincerely want to help more than hurt.</p>
<p>As thousands of pounds of oil washed up on the Florida coast BP and the  government have been in official denial saying there is no oil. Last Friday,  though, the Coast Guard said that an oil slick roughly a quarter of a mile long  lurked just 50 to 60 feet off of the beach at the Pensacola  Naval Air Station. Then on Saturday a BP spokesman finally acknowledged  the slick, saying that the company had &quot;spent considerable effort to get  people to concentrate&quot; on cleaning it up. Reports of toxicity in people’s  swimming pools are starting to come in from the <a href="http://blog.alexanderhiggins.com/2010/08/30/lab-report-confirms-highly-toxic-levels-corexits-2butoxyethanol-503-ppm-sickened-family-swimming-pool-3992/">Tampa area</a>.</p>
<p class="citacaoEsquerda">The problems began for the Scheblers a few weeks after  the April 20 blow-out. “Our first clue were rashes we both got early in May.  Both my husband and I couldn’t get rid of the rashes and had to get cream from  our doctor,” Schebler noted, “I never had a rash in my life.” Then, on “July  [23], my husband Warren mowed the lawn. It was hot so he got in the pool to  cool off afterward. That afternoon he had severe diarrhea and very dark urine. This  lasted about 2 days,” she revealed. </p>
<p><strong class="vermelhoBordo"><span style="font-size: 120%;">Recent Testimonies:</span></strong></p>
<p>Hi Dr. Sircus, Well I&#8217;m still here thanks to the knowledge you have taught me via your essays and books, while I was having my H/A I quickly covered my chest with the magnesium oil, which I’m sure helped minimize damage to my heart tissue while I was driven to the hospital, once again thank you. Kind regards, David Stone.</p>

<p class="thesubtittle"><strong>Uranium, Mercury, Cancer &amp; Diabetes</strong></p>
<p class="alinharCentralizar"><img src="http://blog.imva.info/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/clip_image002_0091.jpg" alt="image" width="350" height="202" /></p>
<p class="alinharCentralizar"><em>Hyperinsulinemia may promote mammary carcinogenesis.<br />Insulin resistance has been linked to an increased risk<br />of breast cancer and is also characteristic of type 2 diabetes.</em><a href="#_edn1" name="_ednref1" title="" id="_ednref1">[1]</a></p>
<p><span class="paragrafo"> </span>Diabetes and cancer, which are both are expanding dramatically in the world today, can in great part be traced to the increasing radiation, heavy metals and chemicals to which we are all being exposed. Every physician knows that radiation can lead to cancer but few are aware of the connection between heavy metals, general chemical exposures, and cancer. Fewer still understand the connection between toxic exposure and diabetes. See my book <a href="http://publications.imva.info/index.php/e-books/new-paradigms-in-diabetic-care.html">New Paradigms in Diabetic Care</a> for a look at how toxicities run head-on into nutritional deficiencies to create diabetic conditions.</p>
<p><span class="paragrafo"> </span>Making a connection between radiation and diabetes may seem ludicrous to physicians who recommend and administer dangerous radioactive CAT and PET scans because they are in full denial that they are using tests that cause cancer to diagnose and treat it. Modern medicine is at the head of the line in terms of actively downplaying the rising dangers of both radioactivity and mercury because it’s an industry whose paradigm includes exposing patients directly to these dangerous substances.</p>
<p><span class="paragrafo"> </span>One in ten Chinese adults already has the disease and another 16 percent are on the verge of developing it, according to a study published in the <em>New England Journal of Medicine</em>. The rate of increase is much faster than we’ve seen in Europe and in the U.S. and tracks the most rapid increase in air and water pollution ever seen on earth. China is home to the most diabetics in the world as it is home to the worst pollution.</p>
<p><span class="paragrafo"> </span><strong class="vermelhoBordo"> “Depleted (DU) uranium is highly toxic to humans, both chemically as a heavy metal and radiological as an alpha particle emitter,”</strong> writes Dr. Rosalie Bertell, Canadian Epidemiologist.<a href="#_edn2" name="_ednref2" title="" id="_ednref2">[2]</a> A new study, conducted by biochemist Dr. Diane Stearns at Northern Arizona University confirms that, separate from any radiation risks, cells exposed to uranium will bond with the metal chemically.<a href="#_edn3" name="_ednref3" title="" id="_ednref3">[3]</a></p>
<p><span class="paragrafo"> </span>Uranium and phosphate have a strong chemical affinity for each other and the DNA and mitochondria are loaded with phosphate so <strong class="vermelhoBordo">uranium is a DNA and mitochondria deep-penetration bomb.</strong> The uranium is attacking on fundamental cellular levels while mercury offers a knockout punch by attacking the sulfur bonds so essential for insulin’s proper function. </p>
<p class="alinharCentralizar"><em>Exposure to radiation causes a cascade of <br />free radicals that wreak havoc on the body. <br />Radiation decimates the body’s supply of glutathione.</em>  </p>
<p><span class="paragrafo"> </span>Metals such as iron, mercury, arsenic, lead and probably aluminum play a role in the actual destruction of beta cells through stimulating an auto-immune reaction to them after they have bonded to these cells in the pancreas. It is well documented in the medical literature that chemicals and drugs can cause temporary or permanent insulin-dependent diabetes. </p>
<p class="alinharCentralizar"><em>Both mercury and uranium oxide are floating in <br />the environment like invisible clouds that have<br />spread out everywhere. They are raining down on us,<br />damaging and damning our future.</em>  </p>
<p><span class="paragrafo"> </span>Simultaneous exposure to mercury and uranium shows significantly more damage to the kidneys than when exposure is to each metal singly. Lead and aluminum are common metals that have been shown to radically increase the toxicity of mercury so when we have many chemicals, heavy metals, and increased exposure to radiation from medical tests and other sources, we have serious damages to cell physiology that we need to treat.</p>
<p class="alinharCentralizar"><em>Thiol poisons, especially mercury and its compounds, reacting with<br />SH groups of proteins lead to the lowered activity of various enzymes<br />containing sulfhydryl groups. This produces a series of disruptions in<br />the functional activity of many organs and tissues of the organism. <br /></em><span class="esp5"><em>Professor</em> <em>I.M. Trakhtenberg</em><a href="#_edn4" name="_ednref4" title="" id="_ednref4">[4]</a></span><br /><span class="esp5">Russia</span></p>
<p><span class="paragrafo"> </span><strong class="vermelhoBordo">Nephrotoxicity of the kidneys with necrosis of proximal tubules has been seen to increase significantly with dual exposure to both uranium and mercury</strong>.<a href="#_edn5" name="_ednref5" title="" id="_ednref5">[5]</a> In February 2007 the Canadian Institute for Health Information (CIHI) reported that the number of new cases of kidney failure jumped 114 percent. The burden of renal disease is also growing rapidly in India. The mean age of ESRD (end-stage renal disease) patients requiring dialysis in India is 32-42 years compared to the 60-63 years in the developed world. Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a worldwide public health problem.<a href="#_edn6" name="_ednref6" title="" id="_ednref6">[6]</a></p>
<p><span class="paragrafo"> </span>Dr. Lisa Landymore-Lim in her book <strong><em>Poisonous Prescriptions</em></strong> explains clearly how many drugs used by the unsuspecting public today are involved also in the onset of impaired glucose control and diabetes. She explains using the example of the drugs streptozocin and alloxan, both used in diabetes research to make lab rats diabetic, and Vacor, a rat poison known to cause insulin-dependent diabetes in humans. Allopathic medicine has to face up to the fact that many drugs, including most surprisingly the antibiotics including penicillin as well as an entire host of others, causes changes in the beta cell and/or insulin function.<a href="#_edn7" name="_ednref7" title="" id="_ednref7">[7]</a></p>
<p><span class="paragrafo"> </span>It is through mercury’s attack on these sulfide bonds (SH) that mercury is able to change the biological properties of proteins and change important physiological functions. Chemicals, heavy metals and radiation combine to act on the very same cellular enzyme pathways. The interaction of lead with sulfhydryl (SH) sites causes most of its toxic effects, which include impaired heme synthesis, inhibition of erythrocyte Na/K ATPase, diminished RBC glutathione, shortened RBC lifespan, impaired synthesis of RNA, DNA and protein and impaired metabolism of vitamin D. Lead may also affect the body’s ability to utilize the essential elements calcium, magnesium, and zinc.</p>
<p><span class="paragrafo"> </span>There are three things that determine the toxicity of radioactive materials:</p>
<p class="citacaoEsquerda"><strong><u>Chemical effects</u> – </strong>Uranium is chemically very toxic.</p>
<p class="citacaoEsquerda"><strong><u>Radioactive effects</u></strong> (includes half-life and energy released) – One gram of DU (1/20th of a cubic centimeter) releases 13,000 alpha particles a second.  One alpha particle can cause cancer under the right conditions and certainly it has the capacity to wreck havoc in beta cells and everywhere else.</p>
<p class="citacaoEsquerda"><strong><u>Particle size</u></strong> – In the nano particle range (diameter of 0.1 microns or smaller) the particulate effect (non-specific catalyst or enzyme) is far more biologically toxic than the first two effects. This is why DU is so devastating.<a href="#_edn8" name="_ednref8" title="" id="_ednref8">[8]</a></p>
<p><span class="paragrafo"> </span>The Chernobyl incident was a major humanitarian disaster, which has resulted in a plethora of health problems that are still far from being fully recognized. Most studies analyzing the medical consequences of this catastrophe have so far focused on diseases such as thyroid cancer, leukemia, immune and autoimmune pathology<a href="#_edn9" name="_ednref9" title="" id="_ednref9">[9]</a>,<a href="#_edn10" name="_ednref10" title="" id="_ednref10">[10]</a> even though an increase in the incidence of type 1 diabetes mellitus, a disorder involving the immune system, was observed within the residential population of Hiroshima among survivors of the atom bomb detonation.<a href="#_edn11" name="_ednref11" title="" id="_ednref11">[11]</a> Studies have also shown that thymectomy and a sub-lethal dose of gamma radiation induces type 1 diabetes in rats.<a href="#_edn12" name="_ednref12" title="" id="_ednref12">[12]</a></p>
<p><span class="paragrafo"> </span>Researchers at the Pediatric Hospital A. Meyer, Florence, Italy studied this question by assessing the incidence of the disease in children in Gomel, Belarus in the years subsequent to the Chernobyl disaster. The results of the study seem to confirm the hypothesis of the influence of environmental pollution subsequent to the Chernobyl accident can cause diabetes.<a href="#_edn13" name="_ednref13" title="" id="_ednref13">[13]</a></p>
<p><span class="paragrafo"> </span>Mass screening for diabetes mellitus has been conducted on 64,000-113,000 atomic bomb survivors resident in Hiroshima City since 1961. From 1971 to 1992 a 2.7-fold increase in the prevalence of diabetes mellitus was observed in males and a 3.2-fold increase in females.<a href="#_edn14" name="_ednref14" title="" id="_ednref14">[14]</a></p>
<p><span class="paragrafo"> </span>Liquidators of the aftermath of the Chernobyl accident (LCA) who had worked within the 30-km zone for not more than three months in 1986 and early in the year 1987, were examined in 1988-1992 and again in 1997-1998. Hyperinsulinemia was recordable in these workers with normal and abnormal body mass index<a href="#_edn15" name="_ednref15" title="" id="_ednref15">[15]</a> for the space of 3 to 12 years after the accident. Hyperinsulinemia, as the researchers saw it, was related to direct or indirect action of irradiation because those persons with prior acute psychogenic stress along with those who are healthy have been found to be free from hyperinsulinemia. The possibility cannot be ruled out that hyperinsulinemia is a predictor of increased body weight gain and obesity in these workers.<a href="#_edn16" name="_ednref16" title="" id="_ednref16">[16]</a></p>

<p><span class="paragrafo"> </span>Dr. Chris Busby, the scientist who revealed increased radiation levels over England after the last attack on Iraq, has made a link between everyday radiation exposure and a range of modern ailments: “There have been tremendous increases in diseases resulting from the breakdown of the immune system in the last 20 years: <u>diabetes</u>, asthma, AIDS and others which may have an immune-system link, such as MS and ME. A whole spectrum of neurological conditions of unknown origin has developed.”</p>

<p class="alinharCentralizar"><em>According to Moret, it won’t take more than two days<br />for the uranium particles to reach India from Iran. Egypt, the<br />Middle East, Central Asia and Pakistan would also be affected.</em></p>
<p><span class="paragrafo"> </span>The probability of a war in Iran is quite high but no one in the world of responsibility – no one in the media or in government – is warning the world of the consequences, which are astronomically high. This part of the world just went hot with all the fires in Russia burning up the forests and soils full of radioactive fallout from previous disasters. A war would double and double again (and worse) the rising toxicities from multiple sources. Easily the peoples of this part of the world are going to meet their makers before others from dramatically less polluted and destroyed areas.</p>
<p><span class="paragrafo"> </span>Almost a quarter century after the 1986 <a href="http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20100819/ap_on_re_eu/eu_germany_radioactive_boars;_ylt=Aj4821qsWEC0EdSqE7NOwgCs0NUE;_ylu=X3oDMTQwY2RzODUzBGFzc2V0A2FwLzIwMTAwODE5L2V1X2dlcm1hbnlfcmFkaW9hY3RpdmVfYm9hcnMEY2NvZGUDbW9zdHBvcHVsYXIEY3BvcwM4BHBvcwM1BHB0A2hvbWVfY29rZQRzZWMDeW5faGVhZGxpbmVfbGlzdARzbGsDcmFkaW9hY3RpdmVi" target="undefined">Chernobyl</a> nuclear meltdown in Ukraine, its fallout is still a hot topic in some <a href="http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20100819/ap_on_re_eu/eu_germany_radioactive_boars;_ylt=Aj4821qsWEC0EdSqE7NOwgCs0NUE;_ylu=X3oDMTQwY2RzODUzBGFzc2V0A2FwLzIwMTAwODE5L2V1X2dlcm1hbnlfcmFkaW9hY3RpdmVfYm9hcnMEY2NvZGUDbW9zdHBvcHVsYXIEY3BvcwM4BHBvcwM1BHB0A2hvbWVfY29rZQRz">German regions</a>, where thousands of boars shot by hunters still turn up with excessive levels of radioactivity. In fact, the numbers are higher than ever before. Forest soil in regions that were hit hardest after Chernobyl – parts of Bavaria and Baden-Wuerttemberg in southern Germany – still harbor high amounts of radioactive Cesium-137 that the boars burrow into and eat their favorite truffles. This is the proof that radiation contamination for nuclear accidents (of which there have been more than several in the old USSR) and from depleted uranium wars is much more widespread than officials admit.</p>
<p><span class="paragrafo"> </span>Medical scientists and doctors in general are heartbreakingly wrong in their ideas of just how much increased background radiation the human body can withstand without long-term effects. Public health officials across the board tend to grossly underestimate the dangers<a href="#_edn17" name="_ednref17" title="" id="_ednref17">[17]</a> and medical officials are out there claiming, as usual, that toxic substances are actually good for your children. They say that about mercury and they say that about radiation. Meaning they don’t lose any sleep after exposing patients to massive doses of radiation for medical tests they deem necessary.</p>
<p><span class="paragrafo"> </span>According to Moret, depleted uranium is the “Trojan horse of nuclear war. It is the ultimate weapon of mass destruction.” The pyrophoric nature of depleted uranium causes it to burn at very low temperatures. This makes it an ideal radioactive gas weapon. “Once it gets vaporized, microscopic particles of uranium oxide remain suspended and form the radioactive component of dust.”</p>
<p><span class="paragrafo"> </span>That Trojan horse has already come to roost in Great Britain, where radiation levels, weeks after the last war in Iraq started, went up by a factor of eight from normal levels. Dr. Busby calculated that some citizens in different parts of the country would have inhaled about 26 million particles of uranium oxide. Like Troy burning, the blood in Britain’s citizens is smoldering. Matt Hunt, science information manager at Diabetes UK, said: “By 2010, we estimate that the number of people with <strong class="vermelhoBordo">diabetes in the UK will increase by around 30 percent</strong> to three million.”<a href="#_edn18" name="_ednref18" title="" id="_ednref18">[18]</a> Thirty percent in three years is a catastrophe.</p>
<p><span class="paragrafo"> </span>It’s literally raining mercury and the government is still exploding uranium weapons on American soil but the CDC is only concerned about influenza and the bird flu. Because of this they themselves are recklessly adding to our already heavy body burdens of mercury insisting we get our yearly flu shot, which has about 3,000 trillion atoms (25 mcgs) of mercury in it.</p>
<p><span class="paragrafo"> </span>Dr. Dayna Kowata wrote, “I have noticed an upward trend in uranium toxicity in my pediatric patients and not just those with autism. The affected patients come from the Temecula/Murrieta area of southern CA. One of my autistic patients has had an extremely difficult time chelating this metal. We’ve had success with all other heavy metals but the uranium remains consistently high. We’ve used oral DMSA and EDTA.”</p>
<p><span class="paragrafo"> </span>Uranium levels 54.6 times the U.S. standard were found in water supplies in a village near Icheon, about 25 miles northeast of Osan Air Base, according to a South Korean government environmental report. South Korea’s Ministry of Environment said it was not ready last week to release its full uranium survey of 93 sites in South Korea, but it issued a news release on its findings. Uranium levels measured 1,640 micrograms per liter in Janpyeong-ri village near Icheon.</p>
<p><span class="paragrafo"> </span>“A recent analysis of my hair ordered by my physician indicated a uranium level that is about five times the maximum reference range. How alarmed should I be with respect to this result? I am not exposed to uranium by occupational hazard, as I’m an office manager in a very clean environment. Past ingestion may have been the result of private well water, but I’ve not ingested any of this well water for six years now,” reports one patient.</p>
<p class="alinharCentralizar"><em>The most important question of our times is: What is<br />the safest most effective way to remove uranium, mercury<br />and an army of other toxins in our and our children’s bodies?</em></p>

Dr. Stearns has established that when cells are exposed to uranium, the uranium binds to DNA and the cells acquire mutations, triggering a whole slew of protein replication errors, some of which can lead to various cancers. Stearns&#8217; research, published in the journals Mutagenesis and Molecular Carcinogenesis, confirms what many have suspected for some time &#8211; that uranium can damage DNA as a heavy metal, independent of its radioactive properties. The biochemical reaction of heavy metals can cause genetic mutations, which in turn can curtail cell growth and cause cancer. Heavy metals that are also radioactive amplify this effect and can cause distortions in shape and thus function even of red blood cells.</p>

This is interesting since carbonyl groups and nitrogen atoms are often reactive species due to their excess of negative charge. That is, they are electron rich sources that very often have an affinity for positively charged species such as zinc ions (ZN)2+.Therefore, they behave like magnets attracting oppositely charged species. Since insulin is stored in the pancreas in combination with zinc, the pancreas has the highest concentration of zinc in the body and could conceivably present a source for chemical attack.</p>

<p><span class="paragrafo"> </span>“Are you ready for a world without antibiotics,” runs the headline in the <a href="http://www.guardian.co.uk/society/2010/aug/12/the-end-of-antibiotics-health-infections">British Guardian</a>. “Antibiotics are the bedrock of modern medicine. But in the very near future, we&#8217;re going to have to learn to live without them once again. And it&#8217;s going to get nasty. The era of <a href="http://www.guardian.co.uk/society/antibiotics" title="More from guardian.co.uk on Antibiotics">antibiotics</a> is coming to a close. In just a couple of generations, what once appeared to be miracle medicines have been beaten into ineffectiveness by the bacteria they were designed to knock out. Once, scientists hailed the end of infectious diseases. Now, the post-antibiotic apocalypse is within sight.”</p>
<p><span class="paragrafo"> </span>Antibiotics have been a disaster and have been overused and now they are dangerous and ineffective against a generation of superbugs that they helped create. Imagine the field of pediatrics without antibiotics to over prescribe and you are imagining a more humane and effective field of medicine. Take away their vaccines also and there is not much left for them to do but turn to iodine when infections threaten.</p>
<p><span class="paragrafo"> </span>According to several studies, obstetricians and gynecologists write 2,645,000 antibiotic prescriptions every week. Internists prescribe 1,416,000 per week. This works out to 211,172,000 prescriptions annually in the United States, just for these two specialties. Pediatricians prescribe over $500 million worth of antibiotics annually just for one condition, ear infections. Yet topical povidone iodine (PVP-I) is as effective as topical ciprofloxacin, with a superior advantage of having no in vitro drug resistance and the added benefit of reduced cost of treatment.<a href="#_edn1" name="_ednref1" title="" id="_ednref1">[1]</a></p>
<p><span class="paragrafo"> </span>Iodine should never have been replaced with antibiotics in the first place for in the long run they have hurt our children and just about every adult alive today. I wrote a book about <a href="http://iodine.imva.info/">Iodine, Bringing Back the Universal Medicine</a> and talk about this most essential nutritional mineral, which is important in the treatment and prevention of cancer, diabetes, heart and neurological diseases. Iodine actually was the first allopathic medicine discovered and the only one that guaranteed recovery from the disease it was prescribed to treat – for goiter. More iodine has been produced and used in hospitals than any other during these past 150 years. Pediatricians need to open up their minds to iodine for in the end it’s the one substance that stands between their patients and a horde of hostile infections that are increasing sweeping the world.</p>
<p><span class="paragrafo"> </span>Every parent needs iodine to protect their children and themselves from super resistant bacteria that are increasingly dominating infections in hospitals. Parents also need iodine when the first signs of flu or other viruses strike.  Every mother will want to have a bottle of <a href="http://iodine.imva.info/">Nascent Iodine</a> for it is ideal for giving to children in high dosages without stomach upset. Lugol’s is good and less expensive iodine but try and get it down a child’s throat. Pediatricians also will want to stock their shelves with this iodine so they can make sure that each of their young patients is being dosed with palatable iodine.</p>
<p><span class="paragrafo"> </span>Educated parents who protect their children from the vaccinationists, whose main lust in life is to poison and weaken the immune system of young children, know that iodine can step in to strengthen not weaken our children’s immune systems. Iodine is the supreme enemy not only of the nastiest bacteria but also their smaller distant cousins the viruses medical officials have us so worried about.</p>
<p><span class="paragrafo"> </span>Though it kills 90 percent of bacteria on the skin within 90 seconds its use as an antibiotic has been tragically ignored. Iodine exhibits activity against bacteria, molds, yeasts, protozoa, and many viruses; indeed, of all antiseptic preparations suitable for direct use on humans and animals and upon tissues, only iodine is capable of killing <strong class="vermelhoBordo">all classes of pathogens</strong>: gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria, mycobacteria, yeasts, and protozoa. <strong class="vermelhoBordo">Most bacteria are killed within 15 to 30 seconds of contact.</strong></p>
<p><span class="paragrafo"> </span>The minimum number of iodine molecules required to destroy one bacterium varies with the species. For H. influenzae it was calculated to be 15,000 molecules of iodine per cell. When bacteria are treated with iodine, the inorganic phosphate up-take and oxygen consumption by the cells immediately ceases. <a href="#_edn2" name="_ednref2" title="" id="_ednref2">[2]</a> Iodine is an excellent microbicide with a broad range of action that includes almost all of the important health-related microorganisms, such as enteric bacteria, enteric viruses, bacterial viruses, fungi and protozoan cysts.<a href="#_edn3" name="_ednref3" title="" id="_ednref3">[3]</a></p>
<p class="alinharCentralizar"><em>Iodine is by far the best antibiotic, </em><br /> <em>antiviral and antiseptic of all time.<br /><span class="esp8">Dr. David Derry</span></em></p>
<p><span class="paragrafo"> </span>Dr. Derry says that iodine is effective “for standard pathogens such as Staphylococcus, has the broadest range of action, fewest side effects and no development of bacterial resistance.” There is a world of difference between using an antibiotic – anti-life substance – and an antibiotic, antiviral and antifungal substance like iodine, which is life serving because it is a basic and most necessary nutritional substance.</p>
<p><span class="paragrafo"> </span>Iodine kills single celled organisms by combining with the amino acids tyrosine or histidine when they are exposed to the extra-cellular environment. All single cells showing tyrosine on their outer cell membranes are killed instantly by a simple chemical reaction with iodine that denatures their proteins. Nature and evolution have given us an important mechanism to control pathogenic life forms and we should use it and trust it to protect us in ways that antibiotics can’t.</p>
<p class="alinharCentralizar"><em>Staph are incredibly cagey, and will ultimately <br /> find their way around any antibiotic in use.<br /><span class="esp7">Dr. Kenneth Alexander</span></em></p>
<p><span class="paragrafo"> </span>A new antibiotic resistance gene has become widespread in several species of bacteria in India, Pakistan, and the UK. Bacteria with the gene are resistant to nearly all classes of antibiotics, reports an international team of scientists today in <em>The Lancet Infectious Diseases.</em><strong class="vermelhoBordo">1</strong> The bacteria appear to have been brought into the UK and other European countries by patients who travelled to India for medical procedures including cosmetic surgery. One of the strains studied in the research was “truly pan-resistant” — resistant <em>in vitro</em> to all available classes of antibiotics write the researchers, led by Karthikeyan Kumarasamy, of the University of Madras, Chennai, India. This finding “could herald a period in which antibiotics become redundant,” according to a press release by <em>The Lancet.</em></p>
<p class="alinharCentralizar"><em>Studies have shown that the chances of dying<br /> from hospital pneumonia or septicaemia (blood poisoning)<br /> are twice as high if the bacteria are drug-resistant, <br />rising in the case of pneumonia from 20-30% to 40-60%.</em></p>
<p><span class="paragrafo"> </span>Highly contagious, spread by coughs and sneezes, <a href="http://www.cdph.ca.gov/HealthInfo/discond/Pages/Pertussis.aspx" title="Update from the California Department of Health.">pertussis is now epidemic in California</a>, with 2,774 confirmed cases in 2010 — a sevenfold increase from last year, putting the state on track for the worst outbreak in 50 years. Seven infants have died. Mothers everywhere are going to be desperate as this spreads further year by year. They are going to need to understand how to use iodine as well as magnesium and sodium bicarbonate to combat these vaccine failed infections. We have to hope that pediatricians come to their senses and embrace safe ways of dealing with their patients infections.</p>
<p><span class="paragrafo"> </span>The nation&#8217;s hospitals are failing to protect patients from potentially fatal infections despite years of prevention campaigns, the government said in April of 2010 and called for &quot;urgent attention&quot; to address the shortcomings, which were first brought to light over a decade ago. As many as 98,000 people a year die from medical errors, and preventable infections. Rates of bloodstream infections following surgery have recently increased by 8 percent. Urinary infections from the use of a catheter following surgery have increased by 3.6 percent. The overall incidence for a series of common infections due to medical care has increased by 1.6 percent. Iodine can and will, if universally used again, reverse these increases.</p>
<p><span class="paragrafo"> </span>If you’ve just been to hospital, and have recently developed hepatitis – guess where you got it from? Researchers have discovered that it’s common for patients to get infected with the virus from hospital equipment – but they don’t know the extent of the problem. Researchers traced the infections back to the IV (intravenous) drip that was used to deliver anaesthesia during a procedure. Researchers admit that infection from contaminated equipment in hospitals is common – but they have no idea about the extent of the problem, and how many people have been unwittingly infected.<a href="#_edn4" name="_ednref4" title="" id="_ednref4">[4]</a></p>
<p class="alinharCentralizar"><em>Infections cause 68 pct of child deaths</em></p>
<p><span class="paragrafo"> </span>Iodine potentially can save millions of lives. More than two thirds of the estimated 8.8 million deaths in children under five worldwide in 2008 were caused by infectious diseases like pneumonia, diarrhea and malaria, according to a study on behalf of the World Health Organization and the United Nations Children&#8217;s Fund (UNICEF). The study, published in the Lancet found that infectious diseases caused 68 percent of deaths in under fives, led by pneumonia (18 percent, 1.58 million children), diarrhea (15 percent, 1.34 million) and malaria (8 percent, 0.73 million).</p>
<p><span class="paragrafo"> </span>Many people who die in the hospital after surgery are dying not from the surgery itself but from the infections that have gotten out of control. &quot;In many ways, this is it,&quot; Professor Tim Walsh. &quot;This is potentially the end. <strong class="vermelhoBordo">There are no antibiotics in the pipeline that have activity against NDM 1-producing enterobacteriaceae</strong>. We have a bleak window of maybe 10 years, where we are going to have to use the antibiotics we have very wisely, but also grapple with the reality that we have nothing to treat these infections with.&quot; Walsh, like most doctors today, have totally forgotten about iodine and how it is used routinely to sweep anything, it is applied to, clean of infections.</p>
<p class="alinharCentralizar"><em>It may be some time before we really enter the <br />predicted &quot;post antibiotic era&quot; in which <br />common infections are frequently untreatable.<a href="#_edn5" name="_ednref5" title="" id="_ednref5">[5]</a><br /><span class="esp6">Dr. Marc Lipsitch et al.</span></em><br /><span class="esp6">Harvard School of Public Health</span></p>
<p><span class="paragrafo"> </span><a href="http://www.thyroidscience.com/reviews/derry/Derry.flu.iodine.9.19.09.pdf">Dr. David Derry</a> wrote, “Iodine was the most effective agent for killing viruses, especially influenza viruses. Aerosol iodine was found to kill viruses in sprayed mists, and solutions of iodine were equally effective. In 1945, Burnet and Stone found that <strong class="vermelhoBordo">putting iodine on mice snouts prevented the mice from being infected with live influenza virus</strong> in mists. They suggested that impregnating masks with iodine would help stop viral spread. They also recommended that medical personnel have <strong class="vermelhoBordo">iodine-aerosol-treated rooms</strong> for examination and treatment of highly infected patients. Current methods of dealing with influenza infection are isolation, hand washing, antiviral drugs, and vaccinations. All of these methods can be improved by incorporating iodine into them. When impregnated with iodine, masks become much more effective, and hand washing is more effect when done with mild iodine solutions.”</p>
<p><span class="paragrafo"> </span>The tremendous diversity and mutability of many infections and their ability to intelligently exploit the cells is one of the main reasons we should return to iodine as our favored broad spectrum antibiotic, anti-viral and anti fungal agent. Iodine provides us with a safe way to strengthen innate responses to invading microbes while simultaneously correcting or eliminating a basic nutritional deficiency that causes immunological unresponsiveness. Iodine also chelates out of the thyroid mercury and the full list of halogens that are poisoning most everyone.</p>

<p class="alinharCentralizar"><em>Cannabis can realize its full therapeutic potential<br /> only when it is completely legal and people<br />don’t have to go to their doctors to get it.<br /><span class="esp8">Dr. Grinspoon</span></em></p>
<p><span class="paragrafo"> </span>Many physicians, even in California, refrain from approving use of cannabis by patients out of residual fear. Countless others refrain because they learned nothing about cannabis in medical school and cannot knowledgeably advise patients about dosage, side effects, or mechanism of action. This is of course not an acceptable situation, especially in pediatric care, because it is so useful and safe and potentially lifesaving in certain cases.</p>
<p><span class="paragrafo"> </span>The stigma associated with “marijuana” presents powerful discouragement to doctors. Inhumane federal laws, which list marijuana on Schedule 1 of the Controlled Substances Act, the tier reserved for drugs with “no currently accepted medical use,” continue to keep marijuana away from doctors even though everyone knows this is as far away from the truth as anyone can go. The United States government enjoys its cruelty as has been demonstrated by its “war against drugs.”</p>
<p class="alinharCentralizar"><em>Cannabinoids, the active components of marijuana, inhibit<br /> tumor growth in laboratory animals and also kill cancer<br />cells. Their use in the case of childhood cancer is compassionate.</em></p>
<p><span class="paragrafo"> </span>Marijuana is brimming with healing compounds and doctors 100 years ago understood this simple fact; that was the reason pharmacies always made it available to the public. Iodine and marijuana were principle medicines used in the 19th and very early part of the 20th century. Both were forced from the consciousness of modern physicians who became mentally enslaved to pharmaceutical interests that got doctors more interested in money and poisoning than in helping patients with safe and effective medicines.</p>
<p class="alinharCentralizar"><em>Cannabinoids are usually</em><em> well tolerated, and do not produce<br />the generalized toxic effects of conventional chemotherapies.</em></p>
<p><span class="paragrafo"> </span>Marijuana is an extremely broad acting and universally useful medicine with appropriate application for most disease conditions. Crohn’s disease patients credit the plant with helping reverse their debilitating intestinal disorders, and accredited research suggests its use in dealing with and preventing diabetes, heart disease, Alzheimer’s and assorted maladies arising from chronic inflammation. <strong class="vermelhoBordo">Tetrahydrocannabinol</strong><strong class="vermelhoBordo"> (THC) and natural cannabinoids counteract cancer and <u>chemical toxicity from drugs and environmental sources</u> thus helping to preserve normal cells.</strong></p>
<p><span class="paragrafo"> </span>Not many people or physicians realize how useful or even critical medical marijuana can be in pediatrics – or how it can save many children’s lives. We are talking about serious medicine and the pharmaceutical companies know this and are making synthetic versions of THC, but synthetic copies cannot compete with the real thing in terms of safety and effectiveness.</p>

<p><span class="paragrafo"> </span>Knocking on death’s door, 10-year-old Joey Perez was slowly dying. The potpourri of prescription medications he’d consumed since the age of five had damaged his body beyond repair – the side effects were literally killing him. Joey was diagnosed with autism at 18 months old. At one point, he was taking six different medications – up to three times a day. As a result of the side effects, Joey became malnourished and was diagnosed with anorexia. Every day, his condition got worse. His eyes were sunken in and you could easily see all the bones in his chest. He was refusing to eat.</p>
<p class="alinharCentralizar"><img src="http://blog.imva.info/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/clip_image004_0001.gif" alt="image" width="256" height="192" border="0" /></p>
<p><span class="paragrafo"> </span>At the end of his allopathic treatments his medical prognosis was high probability of death within six months. Today Joey is thriving and his mother has been on The Good Morning Show to share that the Compassionate Use of Medical Marijuana saved her son’s life. “Although medical marijuana is not known to be a cure for autism, it has been proven to facilitate ‘life’ for my son and has ushered him into his most progressive developmental period ever.</p>
<p class="alinharCentralizar"><img src="http://blog.imva.info/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/clip_image006.gif" alt="image" width="235" height="176" border="0" /></p>
<p class="alinharCentralizar"><em>12 Months After Marijuana Treatments</em></p>
<p class="citacaoEsquerda">Today at age 11, Joey is flourishing with new communicative expressions, he’s gained over 40 lbs, and he’s happier, healthier, better behaved and is more productively active than ever before. Before we began to give him treatments of oral marijuana he was a danger to himself and others. He had suffered from anxiety, OCD, and aggression since an early age. At the age of five, Joey was prescribed the first of many ineffective, harmful medications. The medications he was prescribed at that time worked for about a year but Joey refused to eat and that was the beginning of their story. As a result of the serious side effects, Joey became malnourished and was diagnosed with anorexia. It was the famous marijuana brownies that saved my son’s life and it was the doctors and their pharmaceutical medicines that almost killed him.</p>
<p><span class="paragrafo"> </span>“It seems to me if one is going to need to use drugs, one ought to consider a relatively safe drug, like marijuana,” said Bernard Rimland, Ph.D. of the Autism Research Institute. Marijuana, the forbidden medicine, seems to be useful for some people with adult attention deficit disorder, impulse disorders and bipolar disorder. Some families have found marijuana to be nothing short of miraculous. Some of the symptoms marijuana has ameliorated include anxiety – even severe anxiety – aggression, panic disorder, generalized rage, tantrums, property destruction and self-injurious behavior. One mother commenting on using marijuana for her autistic child said, “I know it’s not the end all answer but it’s been the best answer for the longest time for us in regards to ALL the other medications. I cannot tell you how many months we would go on a medication wondering if it was doing anything, anything at all. Here <strong class="vermelhoBordo"><u>we can see the difference in 30-60 minutes guaranteed</u></strong>.”</p>
<p class="alinharCentralizar"><em>Patients report medical marijuana<br />as more therapeutic and better<br /> tolerated than other medications</em>.<a href="#_edn1" name="_ednref1" title="" id="_ednref1">[1]</a></p>
<p><span class="paragrafo"> </span>Dr. Rimland continues saying, “Clearly, medical marijuana is not a drug to be administered lightly. But compare its side effects to the known effects of Risperdal, which include massive weight gain, a dramatically increased risk of diabetes, and an elevated risk of deadly heart problems, as well as a host of other major and minor problems. Other psychotropic drugs are no safer, causing symptoms ranging from debilitating tardive dyskinesia to life-threatening malignant hyperthermia or sudden cardiac arrest. Of all drugs, the psychotropic drugs are among the least useful and most dangerous, and the benefit vs. risk profile of medical marijuana seems fairly benign in comparison.” He continues, “The reports we are seeing from parents indicate that medical marijuana often works when no other treatments, drug or non-drug, have helped.”</p>
<p><span class="paragrafo"> </span>Recently, researcher Dr. Ester Fride of the Behavioral Sciences Department of Israel’s College of Judea and Samaria published a pair of scientific papers stating that the brain’s cannabinoid receptors (receptors in the brain that respond pharmacologically to various compounds in cannabis as well as other endogenous compounds) and the naturally occurring messenger molecules that activate and bind to them (so-called endocannabinoids) “are present from the early stages of gestation” and may play “a number of vital roles” in human prenatal and postnatal development.</p>
<p><span class="paragrafo"> </span>Writing in <em>Neuroendocrinology Letters</em> and the <em>European Journal of Pharmacology</em>, Fride suggests, “A role for the endocannabinoid system for the human infant is likely.” She notes that in animals, the endogenous cannabinoid system fulfills several important developmental functions, including: embryonal implantation (which requires a temporary and localized reduction in the production of the endocannabinoid anandamide), neural development, neuroprotection, the development of memory and oral-motor skills, and the initiation of suckling in newborns.</p>
<p><span class="paragrafo"> </span>A dysfunctional endocannabinoid system, Fride speculates, may be responsible for certain abnormalities in infants, particularly “failure-to-thrive” syndrome, a condition in which newborns fail to properly grow and gain weight. (In animal studies, mice fail to gain weight and die within the first week of life when their cannabinoid receptors are blocked.)</p>
<p><span class="paragrafo"> </span><strong class="vermelhoBordo">Dr. Fride strongly recommends the use of cannabinoids in pediatric medicine.</strong> She notes that “excellent clinical results” have been reported in pediatric oncology and in case studies of children with severe neurological diseases <strong class="vermelhoBordo">or brain trauma</strong>, and suggests that cannabis-derived medicines could also play a role in the treatment of other childhood syndromes, including the pain and <strong class="vermelhoBordo">gastrointestinal inflammation</strong> associated with cystic fibrosis.</p>
<p><span class="paragrafo"> </span>Research presented at the International Conference for Autism Research in Montreal in June of 2006 of 275 children found serious intestinal inflammation in autistic children identical to that described by Dr. Andrew Wakefield. Gut biopsy tissue from 82 of these children reveals that 85% have evidence of the measles virus in their inflamed intestines. The news is a huge embarrassment for the Department of Health in England, which has unjustly crucified Dr. Wakefield’s research.</p>
<p class="alinharCentralizar"><strong class="vermelhoBordo"><em>Marijuana cuts lung cancer tumor growth in half, a 2007<br />Harvard Medical School study shows.</em></strong><a href="#_edn2" name="_ednref2" title="" id="_ednref2">[2]</a><em> The active ingredient<br />in marijuana cuts tumor growth in common lung cancer in half<br />
and significantly reduces the ability of the cancer to spread.</em></p>
<p><span class="paragrafo"> </span>Because the development of the cannabinoid receptor system appears to occur gradually over the course of childhood, “children may be less prone to the psychoactive side effects of THC or endocannabinoids than adults,” Fride writes. “Therefore, it is suggested that children may respond positively to the medicinal applications of cannabinoids without [psychoactive] effects.” She concludes, “The medical implications of these novel developments are far reaching and suggest a promising future for cannabinoids in pediatric medicine” for conditions including cachexia (severe weight loss), cystic fibrosis, failure-to-thrive, anorexia, inflammation, and chronic pain.</p>
<p><span class="paragrafo"> </span>“It’s clear that the cannabinoid system is essential for complete human development, and that cannabis medicines have a great potential to help sick children,” says University of Southern California professor Mitch Earlywine, author of the book, <em>Understanding Marijuana: A New Look at the Scientific Evidence</em>. “Given the well-established safety of the medication, clinical trials for other disorders, particularly cystic fibrosis and ‘failure-to-thrive,’ seem a humane and essential next step.”</p>
<p class="alinharCentralizar">Nausea appetite loss, pain and anxiety are all afflictions<br />of wasting, and all can be mitigated by marijuana.<br /><span class="esp7">Institute of Medicine<a href="#_edn3" name="_ednref3" title="" id="_ednref3">[3]</a></span></p>
<p><span class="paragrafo"> </span>In test-tube experiments, researchers at the National Institutes of Health (NIH) in Bethesda, Md. exposed rat nerve cells to a toxin that is typically released during strokes. Cannabidiol reduces the extent of damage researchers reported to the National Academy of Sciences. <strong class="vermelhoBordo">More effective than vitamins C or E, strong antioxidants such as cannabidiol will neutralize free radicals and so might limit the damage and reduce the severity of ischemic strokes</strong>.<a href="#_edn4" name="_ednref4" title="" id="_ednref4">[4]</a></p>
<p><span class="paragrafo"> </span>“<strong class="vermelhoBordo">Marijuana has remarkably low toxicity and lethal doses in humans have not been described</strong>. This is in stark contrast to a number of commonly prescribed medications used for similar purposes, including opiates, anti-emetics, anti-depressants, and muscle relaxants, not to mention legal substances used recreationally including tobacco and alcohol,” writes Dr. Gregory T. Carter, Clinical Associate Professor of Rehabilitation Medicine, University of Washington School of Medicine.</p>
<p><span class="paragrafo"> </span>Pharmaceutical companies are for drugging preschoolers with Ritalin even though about 40% of children developed side effects and roughly 11% dropped out because of problems including irritability, weight loss, insomnia and slowed growth. “Preschoolers on methylphenidate, or generic Ritalin, grew about half an inch less and gained about two pounds less than expected during the 70-week study. This is a catastrophe. It just opens up the way for drugging the younger kids,” said Dr. Peter Breggin, a New York psychiatrist and longtime critic of psychiatric drug use in children. Breggin said the research is part of a marketing push by the drug industry to expand drug use to the youngest children.</p>
<p><span class="paragrafo"> </span>“I found babies, 2-year-olds, 3-year-olds being given mind-altering drugs,” says Carole Keeton Strayhorn, Texas’ state comptroller. Strayhorn conducted a two-year investigation into allegations that foster kids in Texas are over medicated. “Children in foster care in Texas are dying. Children in foster care are being drugged,” Strayhorn says. If we concede that child psychiatrists are not absolutely out of their minds themselves, we can grant that there is a real need for something to calm down these children but certainly to poison them with a very toxic medicine when their brains are still forming is outside the range of medical reason. It is an insane paradigm and a cruel system of government that would keep the safest and most effective drug out of the hands of parents and the most harmful toxic medicines legal – medicines that are addictive and can ruin a child’s entire life.</p>
<p><span class="paragrafo"> </span>The American College of Physicians (ACP) has urged the government to reverse its ban on medical treatments using marijuana. “ACP encourages the use of <strong class="vermelhoBordo">non-smoked forms of THC</strong> (the main psychoactive element in marijuana) that have proven therapeutic value.” The Philadelphia-based organization, the second largest doctors group in the United States, cited studies into marijuana’s medical applications such as treating severe weight loss associated with illnesses such as AIDS, and treating nausea and vomiting associated with chemotherapy for cancer patients.<a href="#_edn5" name="_ednref5" title="" id="_ednref5">[5]</a></p>
<p><span class="paragrafo"> </span>Richard Cowan said, “The suppression of medical cannabis is mass murder, but in the real world it is simply cannabis prohibition itself that assures that tens of millions of people will die sooner and with far greater suffering than would be the case if they had easy access to this plant. Even Saddam Hussein has not caused so much pain and suffering. Cannabis prohibition is indeed a weapon of mass destruction that no government wants to acknowledge.”</p>
<p><span class="paragrafo"> </span>The easiest way for doctors to learn about the pharmaceutical dynamics of marijuana is to self-prescribe it for themselves. Firsthand experience is valuable and not dangerous since it is nontoxic, even at high dosages. Marijuana certainly is a mind opener, thus we can understand why the federal government is against it. But in pediatric medicine we have to open our hearts and minds to everything that will help our young charges. This does not come easily to pediatricians who are following the lockstep of the government with their obsession with dangerous vaccines, meaning most pediatricians would have a mental and emotional breakdown if they were to acknowledge the harm they are doing. It is very difficult to use marijuana and maintain one’s rigid mental positions; though not quite a truth serum, it’s close. Again this is another reason the federal government is so much against its mind-moderating ways.</p>

<p><span class="paragrafo"> </span>Even in the local reports not a mention of the possibility that the fish die-off is directly tied to the use of Corexit in the Gulf of Mexico and that the underwater plumes are making their way all the way up the Atlantic Coast. It is the most logical conclusion but not a word – it’s top secret. After all, that is why they used the Corexit – to secret away the oil and its toxicity.</p>

<p><span class="paragrafo"> </span>And speaking of silence, we don’t hear much about the dangers of WiFi do we? But parents in Simcoe County believe their children are getting sick from WiFi transmitters set up in schools in their district. “Six months ago, parents started noticing their kids had chronic headaches, dizziness, insomnia, rashes and other neurological and cardiac symptoms when their kids came home from school. But that somehow on the weekends when they were at home, it would disappear,” said Rodney Palmer. His two children aged five and nine, who attend Mountain View Elementary School in Collingwood, started getting sick last year. After further investigation, the parents began to suspect it was caused by the exposure to electromagnetic fields from the wireless Internet transmitters in school classrooms. Palmer said the intensity of the microwave signal in his daughter’s kindergarten class was measured to be four times stronger than the signals found at the base of a cell phone tower. Palmer’s five-year-old daughter received a rash on her leg and she was listless and tired when she was picked up from school. His nine-year-old son suffered from headaches, moodiness, and a face rash.</p>

<p><span class="paragrafo"> </span>We have been steadily cooling since the end of the last century but don’t tell anyone that because you will be labeled a skeptic. So brazen has the media and those who control it become that they think nothing of hiding half the planet from their reporting. After they were able to hide the real causes of the collapse of the World Trade Centers, especially building number five across the street just because people were looking at it, and after they hid all the plane parts at the Pentagon, even the titanium Rolls engines, they figured they could even hide a hemisphere or at least what is happening in it.  Their silence about the southern hemisphere is deafening.</p>

<p><span class="paragrafo"> </span>In mid July millions of fish and other water life were found dead, floating down four major rivers in the Eastern department of Santa Cruz, Bolivia. Our <a href="http://www.boliviabella.com/1-million-fish-dead-in-bolivian-ecological-disaster.html" target="0">original article on this ecological disaster</a> garnered international attention and news forums across the globe were filled with questions, doubts and even accusations of possible water pollution cover-ups. In our forums numerous people allege that it’s not true all these millions of fish and other river life were killed by the cold. Some went as far as to say the rivers must have been polluted by industrial waste or poisonous chemicals “dumped” by clandestine cocaine factories. How can you be certain the cold weather caused these millions of fish to die and not something else?</p>
<p><span class="paragrafo"> </span>Bolivia experienced the <a href="http://www.boliviabella.com/millions-of-fish.html">coldest winter in over 47 years</a> in mid-July. Although it’s winter here and normal for us to experience sudden cold spells, this was the coldest winter on record in nearly half a century. Temperatures dipped to 0 degrees Celsius outside the water, and inside the water temperatures dropped to about 6 degrees Celsius. That’s about 10 degrees Celsius below our normal lows. The water along the river banks actually turned to frost, something that is virtually unheard of in the tropics. Bolivia’s tropical fish can withstand a dip in water temperatures to about 15 degrees Celsius before the cold adversely affects them. Below that they begin to experience hypothermia.</p>
<p><span class="paragrafo"> </span>Q: But couldn’t the fish have swum to deeper waters where it’s warmer?</p>
<p><span class="paragrafo"> </span>A: Normally the rivers are deeper than they are now. This area of Bolivia has been experiencing a drought. Although not as severe as the ongoing drought in the <a href="http://www.chiquitania.com" target="0">Chiquitania</a> to the east or the <a href="http://www.boliviabella.com/chaco.html" target="0">Chaco</a> to the south of the Department of Santa Cruz, the rivers are very shallow. Too shallow. This extreme cold spell lasted for seven or eight days, and the water was too shallow to stay warm enough at greater depths. For example, in the area inhabited by the river dolphins, the waters were only about 3.5 meters deep, at their deepest point.</p>
<p><span class="paragrafo"> </span>Q: Is there any other way you can be completely certain that this disaster is not actually due to chemical dumping or another type of water pollution?</p>
<p><span class="paragrafo"> </span>A: This disaster took place in four separate rivers, the Grande, the Piraí, the Yapacani, and the Ichilo, in various different, very separate places. In addition, tens of thousands of fish died in local fisheries where fish are separated by species or size in numerous ponds that are not connected to each other or to any rivers. It would have been virtually impossible for something of this magnitude and in so many different areas to be caused by chemical dumping or water pollution of some kind. In addition, Santa Cruz was not the only department affected. Large numbers of fish and water life also died North of Santa Cruz in the department of <a href="http://www.boliviabella.com/beni.html" target="0">Beni</a> and to a lesser extent in some areas of the department of <a href="http://www.boliviabella.com/maps.html" target="0">Cochabamba</a>. Even so, our investigators took water and soil samples in numerous places along the rivers to rule out that possibility.</p>
<p><span class="paragrafo"> </span>Why anyone would expect the government or the media to be honest about anything to do with toxicity, or the weather or anything else is beyond me. There is no trust when it comes to the major media companies, which are getting truly professional about hiding the elephant in the living room. The fall of civilization is being previewed through this dishonesty of fact and purpose in the media, which distorts and hides the news to manipulate the consciousness of the masses.</p>
<p><span class="paragrafo"> </span>Meanwhile toxic threats are increasingly leaving populations vulnerable especially because people are not being warned and educated about what they can do to protect themselves. Why? Because there is too much money to be made from poisoning humanity. They cannot even warn us about the dangers of fluoride or aspartame or MSG or even mercury in vaccines or dental products. A civilization that promotes poison as good for people’s health is doomed to fail because it deserves to fail. In the modern world, thanks to the media, the good has become bad and the bad good and this is as true in the world of medicine as it is in banking, finance, and politics, as well as in the military. Love and truth have failed in the mainstream world and we will all pay the price.</p>
