This Artificial Insulin Causes Cancer?

This just in: Artificial insulin product Lantus may increase the risk of several kinds of cancer.FDA scientists reviewed four studies...three of which demonstrated a link between Lantus and cancer. In fact, a German study found a possible 31% increased cancer risk for diabetics using Lantus. And a Swedish study showed that patients taking Lantus faced double the risk for breast cancer.While scientists are calling for further investigation, the FDA is doing...nothing.What you can do to protect yourself: Ask your doctor to switch you off Lantus immediately. Natural insulin has been used for decades with no evidence of increased cancer risk.--Michele

Vaccine Doctor Given at Least $30 Million Dollars to Push Vaccines

Dr. Paul Offit of the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia earned at least $29 million as part of a $182-million sale by the hospital of its worldwide royalty interest in the Merck Rotateq vaccine. The amount of income distributed to Offit could be as high as $46 million. Offit has refused to say how much he made from the vaccine.The high price placed on the patents raises concerns over Offit’s use of his former position on the CDC’s Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) to help create the market for rotavirus vaccine -- effectively, to vote himself rich.Offit’s claim to a share of the profits from Rotateq revenues is based on his role as a listed inventor on the cluster of patents that protect Merck’s vaccine. Paul Offit had a great personal interest in Rotateq’s commercial success, and more than any other individual in the world he found himself in a position to directly influence that success. Unlike most other patented products, the market for mandated childhood vaccines is created by the recommendation of an appointed body, ACIP. From 1998 to 2003, Offit served as a member of ACIP.Sources:

Oncologists speak out against antioxidants ( ? ? ? )

Dear Friend, Many oncologists are now they're telling their cancer patients to stop taking antioxidants while they're undergoing treatment. Why? Because they're saying there's chance that antioxidant supplements could be lowering the effectiveness of cancer treatments like radiation treatment and chemotherapy. Give me a break. This makes me so angry, I'm not even sure where to start.
But I'll start with oncologists, those practitioners of the dangerous quack medicine known as chemotherapy. I've been outspoken against this barbaric and often useless practice for years. Chemotherapy attacks and kills not just cancer, but it also blunts the body's immune system in the bargain. While this extreme treatment has been effective against testicular cancers and lymphocytic leukemia, there's little doubt that in many cases it's hard to tell which the "therapy" will kill first -- the cancer or the patient. In spite of what you might have been told or believe, chemotherapy is hardly the exact science that it pretends to be. And yet, on the mere hunch that antioxidants could be protecting the cancer cells that chemotherapy seeks to destroy, oncologists seem perfectly comfortable telling their patients to layoff the antioxidant supplements.
Now I've hardly been the only one to sing the praises of the amazing benefits of antioxidants. And there are indeed many pro-antioxidant docs out there who claim that they may even boost the affect of chemo and radiation therapies. Even the author of the study claiming that antioxidants are having a negative impact on these cancer treatments admits that there's just not enough data for a definitive answer. But this hasn't stopped oncologists like Gabriella D'Andrea of New York's Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center from telling her patients to avoid all supplements during their course of treatment. Since these antioxidant supplements are so damaging to chemo and radiation treatments -- so much so that not even the scant few milligrams found in a daily vitamin should be taken -- surely oncologists must recommend that their patients also avoid all foods rich in antioxidants, right? Wrong. "People ask me, 'What should I eat?'," D'Andrea says. "And we just don't know." I find it unnerving that an oncologist like D'Andrea -- heck, ANY doctor -- could have so little proof and yet so much absolute conviction that she's in the right. It's shocking. D'Andrea's closed mind just re-enforces my already poor view of oncologists and their wrong-headed -- and unproven -- methods.

Deadly AntiPsychotics Approved for Children?

The FDA – or at least its advisory panel – has lost its collective mind. Or maybe they're so enamored by Big Pharma and its big money that they see nothing else...like the very lives of our children.In a crushingly disappointing decision, the FDA advisory panel has voted to approve three dangerous – sometimes deadly – drugs for use in our children. Even though these drugs are known to increase the risk of weight gain, diabetes, high cholesterol, and DEATH. (And those are just a few of the life-threatening problems linked to them.)Based on results in ADULTS, the three (potentially) lethal drugs – Seroquel, Zyprexa, and Geodon – all come with black box warnings, and an alarming list of side effects and adverse event reports. These drugs should be pulled from the markets, not given to children.Bottom line: If the doctor wants to prescribe one of these drugs for your child, find another doctor...fast. --Michele

Monsanto Targets Public Radio to Spread False Biotech Messages

ad that recently ran during the American Public Media show Marketplace, sponsored by Monsanto, the world’s largest corporate agribusiness chemical firm, touted how Monsanto’s genetically modified (GM) seeds are going to save the world from environmental catastrophe and human hunger.
The Monsanto ads are, quite simply, false. The premise of the ad is that Monsanto’s GM seeds are going to save the world from environmental catastrophe and human hunger, but the reality of Monsanto’s seeds and the company’s ethics and commitment to fighting world hunger have little to do with either.
Eighty-five percent of all GM seeds are engineered for herbicide tolerance, most of these being Monsanto’s “Roundup Ready” cotton, corn, soy, and canola seeds. This allows plants to withstand significant amounts of pesticides being sprayed on it, in effect promoting pesticide use. As a result, there has been an increase in pesticide use in the United States since the introduction of GM seeds. Since the introduction of GM crops in the United States, more than 120 million pounds of additional pesticides were used.
At the same time, not a single GM crop has been commercially introduced that is intended to increase yield. Agronomists and plant scientists made far greater advances in yields through conventional breeding methods than they ever have with GM crops. In fact, there have been several studies which show that there are actually yield losses associated with Monsanto’s Roundup Ready soybeans. GM crops are not feeding the world, and they are not enabling us to produce more.
Monsanto wants you to believe their crops are feeding hungry children in Africa, and that they are allowing farmers to use fewer chemicals. But their actions demonstrate that their concern lies solely in their profits.Sources:

Reglan Problems Can Be Devastating

May 14th, 2009 by Harvey Kirk PERMALINK
The Reglan attorneys at Saiontz & Kirk, P.A. represent individuals throughout the United States who have developed tardive dyskinesia or other movement disorders after taking Reglan or other generic gastrointestinal drugs containing metoclopramide. The uncontrollable movements and facial jerks caused by the side effects of Reglan can have a devastating impact on quality of life and in many cases the problems could have been prevented if proper warnings had been provided.
