21/09/2009 - Home Pesticides Linked to Childhood Cancers
(NaturalNews) Acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL), a malignant disease of the bone marrow, is the most common cancer diagnosed in children. In fact, nearly one third of all pediatric cancers are cases of ALL. Although this form of cancer can be cured in many cases, in the worst case scenarios the cancer crowds out normal cells in the bone marrow, metastasizes to other organs and takes the lives of about 15 percent of the youngsters it attacks. What triggers so many kids, usually between the ages of three and seven, to develop this cancer in the first place? A new study just published in the August issue of the journal Therapeutic Drug Monitoring raises the suspicion that commonly used household pesticides are the cause.

In the Western world we believe that milk is good for health: it contains a lot of calcium that is good for bones and proteins to grow. But this dogma is not shared by all health professionals, neither in all countries.In the Eastern world they are not used to drink milk, at least, this habit hasn’t traditionally existed until the dairy industry went there and tried to convince them to do so.
Recently a lot of research has been done to find out about the origin of Western civilization diseases: obesity, heart disease, diabetes, cancer, osteoporosis, etc, diseases that have a very low rate in Eastern countries. There are several theories that incriminate the bad quality of our nutrition: too much fat, too much sugar, too much refined food, and a new one: too much milk. Milk is said also to be the cause of respiratory problems in children.

04/11/2008 - Gardasil Vaccine: Just Say NO to Compulsory Vaccination
Dr. Nicole Sundene writes an article on the Kitchen Table Medicine blog about the Cervical cancer vaccin.
"I'm sorry but as a doctor with a special interest in women's health issues, I am going to have to call balderdash on the Gardasil vaccine.
Gardasil=Garbage
Perhaps we should just refer to it from this point on as Garbagesil.
Why in the world did Merck make a vaccine for an already preventable disease? Cervical cancer is preventable through yearly pap smears, healthy diet, and healthy lifestyle.
Why isn't Merck focusing their time, resources, and research on diseases that we desperately need vaccines for such as HIV and hepatitis C?"
