1. Killer Google and Yahoo. Internet can seriously damage your health? Oh Yes!I've always felt the Google was greedy and unscrupulous, whatever its pretensions otherwise. Sure enough, it's starting to come out. Google (and Yahoo) want to help Big Pharma break out of the legal restraints imposed on them by TV advertizing legislation and be free to peddle the wares in high volume on the Internet. All Google wants is the obscene profits. They have no scruples, morals or care for human life. This sort of thing is what happens when groups become so powerful they think they can lord it over the rest of us. Current U.S. regulations require that any mention of a drug's benefits must also reveal its risks, including detailed lists of side effects. But drug makers and Web companies said the rule hampers them, given online space constraints. You can see through that lie immediately. Well why don't they buy more room if they need to say more? They aren't worried about the contraints, they want shut of them, so they can grease their sales with smooth lies and no reference to the dangers their junk embodies. Forked tongues? Huh, try multistranded tongues... What is disgusting to me, as an outsider, is that I am well aware that no other civilized country in the world allows Pharma to advertize direct to the public. It's wicked; doctors are supposed to decide what's right for a patient, with all their skill and experience. Pharma just wants to move product, to any sucker, any time, for any reason, despite the implicit dangers (and unnecessary product). In fact they want the doctors out of it altogether. Just pateints clamoring for what they have seen advertized. The explosive part of this sneaky manouver by Google and Yahoo is that it would allow on-line drug peddling to every country on Earth. Has the FDA or Congress even considered such a violation of other territory's laws? I think not. Come on Germany, Britain, Australia, Malaysia, Sri Lanka... shout out. Make it clear you don't want US obscene pharmaceutical machinations sliding in under the door in your country.
2. Is MS Just Iron Overload?A new and tantalizing theory for multiple sclerosis (MS). Dr. Paolo Zamboni, from Italy, has come up with a really startling and exciting probable breakthrough. If you notice, all big leaps in science and medicine are kind of "accidental" (or guided from above, not from down here!!) Dr. Zamboni realized from his own wife's case that accumulation of iron in nerve tissue was the probable precipitating factor (see my own piece from years back referring to "hot iron", which is what I christened this deadly element). He further reasoned that this build up of iron was caused by poor venous drainage from the brain. It just wasn't getting washed out, to use a colloquialism. So Dr Zamboni took 65 patients with typical MS, performed a simple operation to unblock restricted venous bloodflow out of the brain - and two years after the surgery, 73% of the patients had no symptoms. The average number of active lesions dropped from 50 to 12. Zamboni has called it the "liberation therapy", which I think loses a lot in translation. Plumbing therapy would sound more accurate to me but, of course, less romantic! His thinking could turn the current understanding of MS on its head, and offer many sufferers a complete cure. Of course he'll meet resistance. The usual "It can't be true, therefore it isn't true," mentality or the American attitude of "We didn't think of it, so there's nothing in the idea," reluctance. Prejudice and inertia will now hold back this important discovery for 20 - 30 years. Meantime patients will have to seek out doctors like me (or as I used to, before I retired). The doctors will practise under a cloud of fear; if what they are doing is every discovered they risk loss of their license, jail and ruin. Hah well, that's the progress of science, at least here in the USA. I used to treat MS with mercury de-tox. It could have inadvertently been an iron detox that got the results! This could also be why the SCENAR works so well for MS sufferers. It improves blood flow. Here's a link to the news story (won't be up forever): MS new liberation treatment
3. Killing Cancer Patients DeliberatelyIn my younger days, I was taught and went along with the prevalent medical attitude that terminal cancer patients had no hope and should be quietly "put to sleep", to end their suffering. It's a kind of crude healing I suppose (I was a young surgeon). The excuse was their intractable pain and a morphine mixture called "Brompton's Cocktail" (or mixture) was the tool we used. We actually wrote "Brompton's Mixture" on the order and "PRN", which stands for pro re nata or "as needed for the dosing; meaning it could be given often, very often.... The Brompton Cocktail is named after the Royal Brompton Hospital in London, England, where it was invented in the late 19th century. It was championed by Dr. Cicely Saunders, an Englishwoman physician who established the St. Christopher's Hospice in London. While its use is rare in the 21st century, it is not unheard of. It was far more common in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The original idea for an oral mixture of morphine and cocaine helping patients in agony with advanced disease is credited to surgeon Dr Herbert Snow in 1896 (source: wikipedia). It's pretty lethal (actually, it might be fun at some parties but I think you'd get one hell of a hangover!): Brompton's contains heroin, cocaine, alcohol and thorazine (the latter to relieve the nausea of chemo and radiotherapy), all dissolved in chloroform water! I have prescribed steadily increasing doses until the patient passed away gently. That's what my chiefs did and I worked for them. Thankfully, I haven't needed to use it these last 40 years. I now believe more in God or karma than in drugs and expect a person to meet their fate with a clear mind and open heart. Life is to be lived, not snivelled. Even so, it was a shock to learn of the recent publication of, not one, but two papers, which showed that Brompton's and other opiate-based painkillers may promote the growth and spread of cancer cells. Morphine can increase tumor cell proliferation, inhibit the immune system, promote the growth of new blood vessels (angiogenesis) that feed tumors and decrease barrier function. This is about the LAST thing a cancer patient, fighting for his or her life, wants. Interstingly, the researchers also found that naltrexone -- developed to treat opiate-induced constipation -- reduced the proliferation of cancer cells in normal mice by 90%. Now that's in my massive report "Cancer Confidential". Low-dose naltrexone therapy, which I described, has stayed pretty much on the fringe. But it works. Now orthodox doctors are beginning to catch up on my thinking! If you don't have "Cancer Confidential", don't wait till you are diagnosed. Get it now: Cancer Confidential information site
