Recently the Vancouver Province newspaper featured a front page blast and a full page editorial denouncing the practices of ethnic stores in Vancouver selling toothpaste that “allegedly” may have harmful bacteria in it as well as selling a host of other ethnic health products all without DIN numbers.

This article was really an advertisement for the government and it’s big business lobbyists stating the defeat of bill 51 and its successor bill 6 puts Canadians lives at danger by not restricting the production and sale of natural health products in Canada without DIN numbers.  This follows the huge outcry by Canadians who challenged our government’s attempt to take away our freedom of choice and rights to stay healthy.

I think it’s particularly ironic that this “article/advertisement” chose to pick on an obscure foreign toothpaste from India made with natural products as potentially harmful for Canadians.  Consider domestic toothpaste containing such dangerous products as fluoride and chalk to name just two.  The United States passed laws twenty years ago that domestic toothpaste must carry a POISON label on it.  Despite the American government requiring the POISON label on its toothpaste, our Canadian government refuses to allow a POISON label on the very same toothpaste sold in Canada and yet has the audacity to go after foreign natural brands of toothpaste without poisons that may be harmful.

Way to go my fellow Canadians for meeting this challenge head on.

From this article some astounding facts surfaced. Here’s a summary.

1.  High Fructose Corn Syrup – entered the marketplace in 1970 and within 20 years accounted for over 1/2 the sweeteners used in the US food supply. 

(No wonder corn has become the crop of choice by US farmers, Jack)

2.  Between 1970 and 2000, the per capita consumption of High Fructose Corn Syrup in the US increased from less than one pound per person to over 60 pounds yearly.

(This is astounding!  During our Reflexology classes we quote the deleterious effects of sugar consumption based on the statistic that the average American consumer 5 pounds of sugar annually by 1900, and by 2000 personal sugar consumption rose to nearly 150 pounds, Jack)

3.  Large amounts of fructose in the diet rapidly turn into fatty acids which are then stored as frat or released into the bloodstream as triglycerides. Refined fructose sweeteners are primarily converted into triglycerides and adipose tissue (body fact).

4.  Obese people who drank a fructose-sweetened beverage with a meal had triglyceride levels almost 200% higher than obese people who drank a glucose-sweetened beverage with a meal.

The article provides similar problems with Agave nectar.  Which is even more insidious because Agave nectar is sold as a “health food”!

excerpts – Nexus Global News report

A medical doctor and former member of Pfizer Inc.’s speakers bureau accused last year of perpetrating one of the biggest research frauds in medical history, was charged in a federal court in Boston with falsifying medical research studies.

The Doctor faces up to 10 years in prison and a US $250,000 fine.  He was accused of accepting a $75,000 grant from Pfizer to research the effectiveness of pain medication Celebrex for a 2005 study in which no patients were actually enrolled.  Prosecutors allege the doctor made up the data, which he subsequently had published in the medical journal Anesthesia & Analgesia.

This journal had to retract 10 papers written by his Doctor, and medical experts at the time said that at least 21 journal articles by this anaethesiologist appeared to be fabricated.

A Nexus reader writes -

“It’s not surprising to find that six members of the World Health Organization’s vaccine advisory panel are currently under investigation for financial ties to the pharmaceutical industries.

Well-known vaccine researcher Dr. Gary Null was shocked to find that there has not been a single study on the dangers of combining vaccines!

An article in the June 2000 Rolling Stone magazine, by Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. exposed US government scientists, health professionals, CDC official, the FDA, WHO vaccine experts and reps from every major pharmaceutical company for hiding the dangers of and links between thimerosal (mercury) in childhood vaccines and autism.

This group stated that the original data had been lost, and they handed over their remaining data to a private company which excluded the public from accessing it via the Freedom of Information Act.

 They still believe it’s a “coincidence” that the Amish, who refuse all vaccinations, have ZERO autism rates.

 The swine flu vaccine contains squalene.  Your body recognized squalene as a molecule native to the body and found throughout the nervous system and brain.”

While reading the latest edition of “Nexus” magazine, the articles, global news updates, letters to the editor and editorial content bring to mind the old saying “There is a Fox amongst the Hens”.  In this case the fox seems to be a combination of new world order, deceptions by our governments, pharmaceutical companies, and the like – and of course we, the public, are the unwitting hens.

 I’m going to dedicate my blog for the next few inputs to bring you up-to-date on some of these important issues.

 My first segment today is the ongoing plight of Martin Armstrong brought forward in a letter to the editor. 

 ”Mr Armstrong, an economics expert, is currently incarcerated in the US without charge or fair trial.  Martin developed a software program called the Pi Cycle Economics Confidence Model.  It’s able to allegedly accurately predict economic trends form real estate and commodity prices right down to trends in individual countries.  Having refused to surrender the source code to the CIA, he was denied his constitutional rights and apparently locked up.”

I came across this very interesting article on Dr. Rath’s Newsletter from Europe.

The Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe (PACE) is to hold an emergency debate and inquiry this month into the “influence” exerted by drugmakers on the World Health Organisation’s (WHO) global H1N1 flu campaign.

The text of the resolution approved by the Assembly calling for the debate and inquiry states that: “in order to promote their patented drugs and vaccines against flu, pharmaceutical companies influenced scientists and official agencies responsible for public health standards to alarm governments worldwide and make them squander tight health resources for inefficient vaccine strategies, and needlessly expose millions of healthy people to the risk of an unknown amount of side-effects of insufficiently tested vaccines.” Read the rest of this entry »
