Take Your Life Back

I have been speechless lately.  Unable to put into words my disgust at the course  the country and its individual governmental services and commissions have taken.  We need to take back our bodies, our financial decisions, our political decisions and speak out against the current path our leaders project for us.
The Legislature is seriously considering legislation that makes it mandatory for every pregnant and new mom to be screened by doctors for mental illness.  The Congress passed this legislation.  It is now close to passing in the Senate.  Our republican congressman voted for this bill.  They want to get this done by Mothers Day;  a day we should honor our mothers and ourselves but now becomes the day to consider our mental illness and need for drugs.  Go to cchr.org for the full story and to get help to notify your senators of the dangers of drugging moms.

A Mom just called us about her daughter.  A daughter who received the three vaccinations of gardasil.  Her daughter is now quite ill with skin lesions.  She agreed to have her daughter vaccinated after THREE LETTERS FROM THE SCHOOL finally convinced her to disregard her own cautions, she has avoided the use of pharmaceuticals in her family’s health care but somehow was talked into this.  She is very upset that she permitted her values to take the back seat in this decision.  The thing that pushed her over the edge is the sell job came from the school not greedy Merck who would take the life of your daughter without blinking an eye because it is good for business.  They build the cost of lawsuits into the price of drugs and vaccinations. Man!!

MONEY, GREED AND KNOW BEST EXPERTS ARE RUINING LIVES AT A VERY FAST PACE.  RUINING FINANCIAL FUTURES AND OUR PHYSICAL AND MENTAL HEALTH.  That was a scream.

The Internet plays a huge roll in helping and harming us.  People of goodwill get their reputations slaughtered if they belong to a Church, if they want wellness programs in health care instead of disease programs.  If you advocate for independence and responsibility and the right to chart your own course in life you can get slaughtered with lies about your conduct.  On the other hand, the Internet provides us a voice we seldom had in the past and ways to organize and stop the nonsense and research ease.

Man, the market for magnesium must have gone way up with the increase in blood pressure lately.  Or did the market for blood pressure meds go up?

Real Health Care Reform

We desperately need a health care system to replace our disease care system. Pharmaceutical drugs lead to more drugs and and declining health and we are being misled by the pharma-medical industrial complex. Who wants to give up the best emergency care system in the world? We do not. However, when you are talking about heart disease, diabetes, cancer, and the tens of other chronic conditions heroic measures in stainless steel operating rooms are not going to help.
We need a new look and we need to take our bodies back and demand to control who we see as a physician and which treatments we select based on our knowledge and desire. You will never convince this girl that a drug is best, the least bit for the shortest amount of time is the answer. I have been there done that.  I broke my back in a car wreck and have forever been thankful and full of warm thoughts about the emergency surgeon who helped me. There was one guy though who was on the take, a neurologist who insisted that if he did not put a rod in my back I would not walk. I said watch me. I knew he would be eternally available to do surgery any day of any month because that is what he was into. He was also a money making unethical nasty guy. I walk, I talk and take advice from my now husband, the famous osteopathic physician who has been thinking outside the box for over 35 years. It is a much longer story.  The aftermath of this accident left me with digestive problems I handled four years later when I met my husband and took his advice.   The moral is be in charge of your health, realize medicine is a business and if the pharmaceutical companies could have every one of us on cholesterol lowering drugs, drugs for depression and high blood pressure they would be looking past all that for next market. They are doing that today, now, as we contemplate our health care dollars spent in the most wasteful of ways.

Chronic problems are greatly helped by a change in lifestyle, toxic exposure reduction, the correct dietary plan and supplements, organic and/or at the minimum fresh foods.

If the new administration is anything it is a chance to speak up and make sure your legislators know you want to be in  charge of your health care dollars.  If you fail to take action big government will back the expensive, unworkable system we now have and expand pharma- medical big business.  Speak up.

Melamine in Your Foods

One week the FDA says there is no safe level of melamine in foods.  Correct from our perspective since it is manufacturing product not a food.  Then… in all their scientific brilliance and desire to protect the poor public from themselves and others,  they reverse the stance because it was found in low levels in baby formulas in this country and we would not want to scare women into nursing their babies again would we???!!!   Takes us out of the work force for a few minutes a day.
Go to healthfreedom.net and read all about it in an article entitled “First It’s Not Safe, and Then It Is!  The FDA Position on Melamine May Give Us All a Case of Whiplash.”

Over the holidays buy local fresh foods and enjoy the taste, the higher nutrients levels and for heavens sake buy foods from the US, it is safer.  Please increase your use of fresh organic foods.  We make all our baked goods for the season with organic sugar, organic rice syrup, organic spelt flours or others and organic meats, eggs and produce.  Everything taste so good and we are safer.  Merry Christmas to all of you,  Coleen and Conrad

Chelation therapy or any therapy for that matter

If you continue to research this topic and its history and current use you should go to www.cigna.com and check out their pages on chelation therapy.   They cover chelation for certain uses and not others. Where its use would conflict with group think in medicine, all the invasive and pharmaceutical based treatments, it is not covered.  Look at the list of citations, all the standard groups that stand to lose market share of your medical dollars. They did not cite a recent Saunders medical textbook entitled Cardiovascular Drug Therapy containing a chapter entitled “Magnesium EDTA Chelation“  and it 65 references.  Is that not interesting.  Also keep in mind there are many chelating agents used for different problems.  A recent book called Malignant Medical Myths, Why medical treatment causes 200,000 deaths in the USA each year, and how to protect yourself  by Joel M. Kauffman, PhD and medical researcher is a must read for anyone who wants to understand enough about medicine to protect one’s self.  It is available at www.buybooksontheweb.com.
