This is a warning we all need to heed. Quote: "Bio-accumulation of glyphosate.  How can we reliably study the effects of this herbicide in humans over time? It is very different than studying its effects from accidental glyphosate ingestion — symptoms of acute exposure are easy to measure: Eye and skin irritation, abdominal pain, vomiting, excess fluid in the lungs, or slowing and weakening of the heart.  It’s the long-term effects that are especially troublesome… Over time, glyphosate causes insidious illnesses that can only be seen with large epidemiological studies linked to basic plant and animal studies. We have to consider what happens when it seeps into our organ tissues, and accumulates in body fat — over years. If there is no doubt that it bio-accumulates in animals, why should we think it doesn’t do the same in humans? The fact is, it can and does bio-accumulate in humans, in addition to hurting our food supply. Unfortunately for use, glyphosate is now being combined with other even more toxic chemicals to improve its effectiveness. It is these complex and variable mixtures that are likely to link to birth defects and neurological disorders in children…fertility problems in young adults…and cancer in aging people. Let us consider the reports of Don Huber, a proven expert on Glyphosate. Don is Emeritus Professor at Purdue University, senior scientist on USDA’s National Plant Disease Recovery System, and lead researcher of more than 100 peer-reviewed articles on this chemical. He has been a plant physiologist and pathologist for over 40 years. Don tells us that glyphosate has many likely and proven health hazards for animals and humans. He points to its effects on “endocrine disruption, DNA damage, reproductive and developmental toxicities, neurotoxicity, cancer, and birth defects.”   https://easyhealthoptions.com/herbicide-living-body/    The federal government has long protected the agents of chemical contamination of our nation's lands and citizens.  It is time to stand up and shout at the top of our lungs that "Enough Is Enough!!!

Make certain all of the women of child bearing years you know are aware of this information.  Quote: "A CDC-funded medical study being published by the medical journal Vaccine has confirmed a shocking link between flu shots and spontaneous abortions in pregnant women. The study was rejected by two previous medical journals before Vaccine agreed to publish it, further underscoring the tendency for medical journals to censor any science that doesn’t agree with their pro-vaccine narratives. “A study published today in Vaccine suggests a strong association between receiving repeated doses of the seasonal influenza vaccine and miscarriage,” writes CIDRAP, the Center for Infectious Disease Research and Policy.  Want to take a look at health care options?  Look to Singapore for ideas."    https://spectator.org/healthcare-solutions-scarce-in-washington-found-10000-miles-away/?

While the problems with VA hospitals are well established some do a good job of providing timely and proper care.  On the other hand some perform poorly.  This item deals with this subject.  Quote: "The Veterans Affairs debacles of the past few years have been case studies on the dangers of federal control. Now, even after numerous reforms have been put in place, Washington bureaucrats still aren't able to get vets the care they deserve."  And, "If Washington can't handle healthcare for a limited number of veterans, why do we think they can control a national health care system?"    https://www.conventionofstates.com/veterans_affairs_hospitals_continue_to_struggle?   This item suggests that the best thing for the federal government to do is to allow competition in the free market to take care of our veterans as well as all other citizens.  Federal bureaucracies have a history of poor performance and considerable problems with fraud, waste and abuse.  The federal government's role should be limited to policy oversight, not active management of healthcare programs and facilities. 

  

This is incredible; no, unbelievable, no insane!!!  It is an example of idiocy run rampant.  Quote: "I really hope you understand this. It is not a fantasy. It isn’t science fiction. It isn’t satire. It is Brave New World, but not the Huxley novel. It’s happening now. It’s a new published study that appears on the website of the prestigious Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America. The title of the study is, “Oxytocin-enforced norm compliance reduces xenophobic outgroup rejection.”

Xenophobia is defined as: “fear or hatred of foreigners, people from different cultures, or strangers.” (Dictionary.com)  Oxytocin, the chemical used in this study, is described by Medical News Today: “Widely referred to as the love hormone, oxytocin has also been dubbed the hug hormone, cuddle chemical, moral molecule, and the bliss hormone due to its effects on behavior, including its role in love and in female reproductive biological functions in reproduction.”   But, get this...someone thought it a good idea to see if this would change people's attitude towards immigrants, really.  Another quote: "Nothing in the study cites inherent migration problems, such as increased violent crime, back-breaking financial pressure on government budgets, and the eroding of local cultures. It’s all about shifting feeling and reaction toward waves of immigrants."  And, "The truly disturbing and mind-boggling aspect of this study is: many people would accept it as a reasonable way to “solve” the migrant crisis. Forget about the actual effects of immigration. They’re irrelevant. Instead, focus on re-shaping people’s minds, through chemical intervention."  And, "Interestingly enough, the authors of the study never considered dosing male immigrants of military age with the oxytocin “love hormone.” Heaven forbid. That would be “interfering in their culture.”    https://jonrappoport.wordpress.com/2017/08/30/chemical-dosing-experiment-to-force-friendship-toward-migrants-not-science-fiction/

Quote: "Government-backed science exists because it is a fine weapon to use, in order to force an agenda of control over the population.  We aren’t talking about knowledge here. Knowledge is irrelevant. What counts is: ‘How can we fabricate something that looks like the truth?’  I keep pointing this out: we’re dealing with reality builders. In this case, they make their roads and fences and buildings out of data, and they massage and invent the data out of thin air to suit their purposes. After all, they also invent money out of thin air.  Since 1987, one of my goals as a reporter has been to educate the public about false science.  Between then and now, I have found that, with remarkably few exceptions, mainstream reporters are studiously indifferent to false science.

They shy away from it. They pretend “it couldn’t be.” They refuse to consider facts. They and their editors parrot “the experts.” Official science has a stranglehold on major media. It has the force of a State religion. When you stop and think about it, official science is, in a significant sense, a holy church. Therefore, it is no surprise that the church’s spokespeople would wield power over major information outlets."    https://jonrappoport.wordpress.com/2017/08/23/a-totalitarian-society-has-totalitarian-science-2/

This extends the previous paragraph focused on a specific class of drugs and what could be considered medical malpractice.  It should be carefully considered by those who take statin drugs.  Quote: "Just in case you can’t parse that I’ll do it for you: None of the participants taking the drug in this double-blind study lived longer than those taking a sugar pill.  In fact they died sooner and more-often indicating that the drug caused harm instead of bringing benefit.  May I remind you that dead is dead; if you are less-likely to die by heart attack but more likely by some other caused mechanism the net is that you have been harmed, not helped.  Never mind some of the known (and severe) side-effects of statins.  One of the worst is Type II diabetes, which is an utterly-devastating and progressive disorder that you have to be insane to take the risk of without hard, clinical proof of benefit sufficient to offset it.  Simply put, when it comes to statins, based on the available science, there is no such proof.  It’s your ass — the size of your ass, along with your heart.  You only get one, but this much I can assure you — if you take these drugs, and develop Type II diabetes as a consequence, the diabetes will do more harm to your heart than the drug could ever counteract in benefit, never mind sucking your bank account dry over the successive decades as your appendages rot off, you go blind and then your kidneys fail, you are forced onto dialysis and die — all of which forms one of the most-nasty, painful and debilitating ways to go that exist."    https://www.theburningplatform.com/2017/08/25/the-priests-of-medicine-are-naked-and-scared/
