On Oct. 24, NBC news put out an article attempting to refute a recent study, conducted jointly with Harvard Medical School and published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, that found that drinking as little as one diet soda sweetened with Aspartame per day could cause an increased risk of leukemia and lymphoma in adults.

Big Pharma researcher admits to faking dozens of research studies for Pfizer, Merck

It’s being called the largest research fraud in medical history. Dr. Scott Reuben, a former member of Pfizer’s speakers’ bureau, has agreed to plead guilty to faking dozens of research studies that were published in medical journals.
Now being reported across the mainstream media is the fact that Dr. Reuben accepted a $75,000 grant from Pfizer to study Celebrex in 2005. His research, which was published in a medical journal, has since been quoted by hundreds of other doctors and researchers as “proof” that Celebrex helped reduce pain during post-surgical recovery. There’s only one problem with all this: No patients were ever enrolled in the study!
Dr. Scott Reuben, it turns out, faked the entire study and got it published anyway.

Summary
Once upon a time, by the turn of the last century, flying in the face of over a hundred years of research and clinical observation to the contrary, medicine abandoned the link between infection and atherosclerotic heart disease; not because it was ever proven wrong, but because it did not fit in with the trends of a medical establishment convinced that chronic disease such as heart disease must be multifactorial, degenerative and non-infectious.
Yet it was the very inability of 'established' risk factors such as hypercholesterolemia, hypertension and smoking to fully explain the incidence and trends in cardiovascular disease that resulted in historically repeated calls to search out an infectious cause, a search that began more than a century ago.
Today, half of US heart attack victims have acceptable cholesterol levels and 25% or more have none of the "risk factors" associated with heart disease, including smoking, high blood pressure or obesity, most of which are not inconsistent with being caused by infection [7,56].
Even the traditionalist's 2003 assault in JAMA (Journal of the American Medical Association) to 'debunk' what they call the "50% risk factor myth" [20] fell woefully short under scrutiny. In one group 30% died of heart disease with a cholesterol of at least 240 mg/dl, a condition which also existed in 21% who did not die during the same period. And the overlap was obvious throughout the so-called risk categories. Under such scrutiny, lead author Greenland conceded that if obesity, inactivity and elevated cholesterol in the elderly are included, just about everyone has a risk factor and he likened the dilemma of people who do or do not wind up with heart disease akin to the susceptibility of people who are exposed and at one time contract tuberculosis, but do not presently have active disease.

THE RISE OF TYRANNY

For the first time in my life, I hear perfectly rational people, those who tend not to speak in emotional terms, tell me that they fear for the future of our country. Similarly, I hear these same people say they are terrified about being forced to be vaccinated with the swine flu vaccine. While I share these sentiments, it is my nature to dig around until I can find out the reason why so many of us feel like this today.
In my research, I came across Jonathan Emord’s latest book, The Rise of Tyranny – How Federal Agencies Abuse Power and Pose Risks to Your Life and Liberty. It is, by far, the most important book I’ve read in a decade about the inner workings of our government and why our country is in such peril today.
For those who do not know who he is, Emord is a prominent Washington attorney, a specialist in constitutional and administrative law, who has won an astounding number of cases against the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). He is a noted First Amendment expert whose passion for the writings and principles of true liberty is profound. If you are of like mind, I urge you to visit his website. It is chock full of information you will like.

Healthy People Taking Antibiotics May Spread Superbug Infection

Clostridium difficile, usually known as simply C. difficile, is a bacterium that spreads by bacterial spores. And a new study raises the disturbing possibility that antibiotics taken by people who aren’t even ill from these bacteria can spur the germ into becoming a kind of bacterial spore spewing mega factory. So why is this concerning? It’s true that C. difficile can exist in the human body and never make you sick. But it can also cause serious illness and even be fatal — and incidences are of the infection are increasing. What’s more, strains of the bacteria are showing signs of becoming a serious drug-resistant superbug infection.

The two-thirds of the 30% unemployed are not only getting no unemployment compensation,— they're losing all healthcare as well. Fifteen thousand Americans are losing health insurance every day, mostly because of unemployment; five million per year. Medicaid should catch a great deal of this; only last October, the state budget officers association thought Medicaid spending would increase by 4%-5% this year, but, in fact, it had already fallen 8% by May-June. About $35 billion in Medicaid cuts have been made around the country, but, meanwhile, increased unemployment would have necessitated $10-15 billion of INCREASED Medicaid spending. Thus, there is already a hole of about $45-50 billion in Medicaid, while Obama has said that the $25 billion in "stimulus" money designated for Medicaid is all there will be this year.

For several years there have been frightening stories circulating about the dangers of Aspartame. Well, it turns out, this is not just another urban legend.
Aspartame is the chemical name for the brand names NutraSweet, Equal, Spoonful, and Equal-Measure. Aspartame was approved for dry goods in 1981 and for carbonated beverages in 1983. It was originally approved for dry goods on July 26, 1974, but objections filed by neuroscience researcher Dr John W. Olney and Consumer attorney James Turner in August 1974 as well as investigations of G.D. Searle's research practices caused the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to put approval of aspartame on hold (December 5, 1974). But by now, we all know how easily powerful, rich pharma can get dangerous products on the market.
Obama's Townhall: Eliminate 'Life Unworthy of Life'

June 26, 2009 (LPAC)—President Obama's Town Hall Meeting on health care, staged by ABC-TV at the White House last night, represents a desperate effort to get the American people to support what Lyndon LaRouche has denounced as a Nazi-modeled health plan, a plan that would cut costs by denying care to those defined as at the end of life, or "useless eaters."
Despite an audience handpicked by the White House, the question of whether there would be health care for the elderly, who would decide whether and what treatments would be provided, and whether that decision would be based on cost, came up again and again. Although Obama dodged a number of these with, "Good question," or going into one of his irrelevant talking points, his intention to impose unappealable limits on care to cut costs came out clearly, as when he urged everyone to help solve these "difficult end-of-life decisions" by make a "living will," devised as an authorization for discontinuing care.
