Awwww! p-el-e-eease!The sickness here is the way that the WHO and governments have been hijacked by people with a darker, far more sinister agenda. You are being set up, good people of America. You are going to be medicated, poisoned and abused by criminal fake science in the pursuit of profits and possibly something far, far more evil. You are going to be forced, at gun point, to have not one but 4 injections of flu vaccine. Not because you need it, or that science says that's what's required with a vaccine, but because the evil empires of Pharma are slavering at the prospect of unspeakable squillions of dollars forced on a gullible population of suckers (yes, you). You had the chance to revolt. You blew it. What are the facts, really? The worldwide death toll from H1N1 swine flu has doubled in the past month, reaching over 700 since the start of the outbreak last spring; that's according to the World Health Organization, Tuesday July 28th. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, at least 263 have died from the virus in the United States alone. Yawn... This is barely even a disease, never mind a pandemic. The talk of "deadly" flu virus is marketing hype and not science. This is EASILY the mildest, safest, most easily survived pandemic flu to come along in the last 200 years. In the same space of time that 700 people died of "deadly" flu, well over 10,000 people have died of REAL flu! REAL flu kills around 30,000 a year. Are you willing to accept this absurd pseudo science and political control-- really? Official sources keep trying to stress that the "true" figures may be well above the reported level. Oh yeah, and why is that? Because it's so damned trivial, such a total non-event, nobody hardly even feels like more than a couple of days in bed, never mind reporting sick to their MD. It's a joke. But it's not funny. The way truth is being manipulated is more serious than any worrying aspect of the so-called pandemic. It's global political sickness at the highest level. I see in it the end of democracy and the end of science as any meaningful honest human pursuit. Remember the Nazis? It started small; little incursions; gradual loss of rights... pretty soon it built up to the death penalty for anyone who resisted. Then it was the death penalty anyway for millions, whether they were quiet, obedient citizens or not. But at no stage did the evil Nazis force medical treatment on the general population! Only the USA has ever done that. Forced medical treatment under the Nazis was only for the luckless inhabitants of the concentration camps, who were subject to the murderous insane experiments of Dr. Menegele and his cronies.... And now Americans are getting forced medicine! Any alarm bells ringing? Sorry. If you don't like me telling you this, you should probably get off my list and sign up with some other medical wimp who will happily have you as a subscriber (and sell you pap), till you are dead. I can only write what I know and what I think and I have a very, very bad feeling about the perversion of medical and political science that I am seeing right now in the name of "public health"...
2. Stay Alive Till Science Catches UP!Remember the gripping scene in "Last Of The Mohicans" where Hawkeye (Daniel Day Lewis) says to his love "Stay Alive! I'll find you. Just stay alive!" That's the important message for Boomers and anyone facing aging and heart disease. Science is advancing by leaps and bounds. While the dodos like Leonard Hayflick, who proved he doesn't know enough nutrition to feed cells and keep them alive but pretends he proved we have severe restictions on how many times our cells divide (called the Hayflick limit by him and the other dodos) still claim life is limited, and that longevity is a fraud and illusion (seriously, that's what he says!), the rest of science is getting into the exciting realm of the truth. We can regenerate almost any part of our body. One of the biggest shocks in recent years was that brain cells divide and replace themselves (science always "proved" this can't happen, until somebody at La Jolla University saw it taking place). Now, it seems, heart cells can do the same. A new substance being researched is able to promote heart cell regeneration. The implications are enormous. If we can replace aging heart tissue, we could easily live 200- 300- 500 years or more. Investigators from Children's Hospital Boston were able to reverse heart damage in mice by stimulating the growth of new heart muscle cells. They did this by injecting the mice with the growth factor neuregulin1, which is a key player in heart cell growth. Until recently, most experts believed that the heart muscle could not repair itself, in part because the cells responsible for its development stop proliferating after birth. But recent studies have shown that these heart muscle cells, known as cardiomyocytes, do have at least some limited ability to replace themselves. The hope is that neuroregulin1 can one day be used to ramp up this process in humans and help heal damaged hearts, as it seems to do in mice. Most previous research has been directed to getting stem cells to replace lost heart tissue. I reported on exciting work in this field in Serendipity 6. The mice in the current study were treated with daily injections of neuregulin1 starting a week after experiencing laboratory-induced heart attacks. Twelve weeks later, they showed evidence of better heart function, reductions in heart muscle scar size, and an increase in heart muscle cells. And unlike untreated controls, the treated mice showed no evidence of heart failure. Way to go! [SOURCE: Nature Medicine, August 2007; vol 13: pp 962-969]
3. While We Are On With Mice And Stem Cells...Eat your heart out Hayflick. You're history! Now a Chinese team have grown a whole new adult, using non-embryonic stem cells. The stem cells were harvested from adult mice and used to regrow a whole new animal. The implications are awesome. We can eventually be cloned using our own cells. It may be decades away but that's another reason to take care of yourself and wait around on Earth for these new scientific wonders to become reality. Those of you who have followed me for years know that I have always urged desperate people NOT to fall into the hands of greedy and unscrupulous peddlers of "stem cell therapy" because most of the stuff is harvested from dead or murdered children in far flung places where greed and poverty makes it hard to enforce normal decent laws. But in the last few years the switch to the use of a person's OWN stem cells, harvested from the patient in question, has become a reality. I find it exciting; something I couldn't have dreamed of when I was at med school back in the 1960s. |
