The Health Debate (2) The effectiveness of Big Pharma drugs

This blog was first posted on http://safe-medicine.blogspot.com

So what are the elements of the health debate that the mainstream media is refusing to consider, and almost entirely ignoring? What are the questions that an open, honest and 'free' media should be informing us, and asking searching questions about?

The first question that the Media should be researching and discussing with the public concerns the the effectiveness of Big Pharma drugs, and ConMeds claims for them.

Drug Effectiveness

• Why are there so many ‘good news’ stories coming from the Conventional Medical (ConMed) Establishment? And why is the Media happy merely to slavishly report Big Pharma news releases without serious question. Indeed, why does the Media continually fail to question how realistic, or how honest ConMed's claims are for its drugs and treatments?

• What is known about the effectiveness of current Big Pharma drugs, and other ConMed treatments, being prescribed to us, in ever-increasing amounts, through our GPs, and the National Health Service (NHS)? Why is research that raises questions about drug effectiveness is routinely ignored by the Media?

• Are the claims for ConMed drugs and treatments reflected in real patient outcomes? And If such treatments are as effective as the Media is happy to report them to be, why should the levels of chronic disease continue to increase in such epidemic proportions in this country?

• Why are so many ConMed drugs eventually found to be ineffective, although usually only after being prescribed to patients for many years, often at great expense to the public purse? 

• Why does the Media not ask why Drug Testing procedures, and the statutory process of Drug Regulation, both regularly fail to discover that pharmaceutical drugs are ineffective, and why are they apparently unable to do so before the drugs were introduced and marketed?

• Why is it that the Media is content, regularly, to report Big Pharma propaganda concerning new 'medical breakthroughs' that promise effective new drugs - in 5, 10, or even 15 years time? And why does the Media not ask what has happened to the medical breakthroughs, and ‘effective’ drugs, announced 5, 10 and 15 years ago?

• Why, if Big Pharma drugs are so successful in treating illness and disease, has there been epidemic increases in a wide variety of chronic disease (Arthritis, Heart disease, Alzheimers, Autism, Depression, et al) during the past 50-60 years?

• Why does the Media not tell us when ConMed drugs and treatments, during their lifetime, are reported to be failing. Indeed, why does the Media often fail to tell us about the failure of ConMed treatments when they are found to be useless, and are withdrawn?

• If ConMed treatment cannot deal with disease effectively, what can alternative therapies, such as homeopathy, offer patients for treating their illnesses and diseases. How effective are these alternative treatments, especially when outcomes are compared with ConMed drug treatment?

These issues are regularly raised in this blog, and indeed, elsewhere on the internet, and in magazines such as 'What Doctors Don't Tell You'. 

However, they are rarely, if ever raised or discussed within the mainstream media

The third part of this series will focus on the safety of Big Pharma drugs, and other forms of ConMed treatment. Whilst the effectiveness of treatment is crucial, the safety of treatment is more important. Ineffective treatment raises hopes, and wastes out time. It also costs the country vast sums of money. But if medical treatment is also unsafe, it it causes illness and disease, if it can actually lead to death, then this is even more serious, and the failure of the Media to tell us, more shameful. Part Three will be published soon.

The Health Debate (1) Why the mainstream media is refusing to take part?

This blog was first published at http://safe-medicine.blogspot.com.

“I am taking this pharmaceutical drug for my condition. It is working really well, and has been now for some years. I feel really healthy, indeed back to my old self. So I am quite happy taking the drug as I am sure it is doing me no harm. Indeed, I am happy to take it for the rest of my life.”

Well, when was the last time you heard anyone taking Big Pharma drugs say this with any conviction? Most people have become weary of the serious 'disease-inducing-effects' (DIEs) of most conventional medical (or ConMed) drugs. 

There is a growing realisation that whilst these drugs may appear to be effective over a short period of time, the underlying condition is rarely, if ever, treated effectively. Many people have to take the drug for a lifetime, increasing the likelihood of its DIEs. Many have to take other drugs, often to deal with the DIEs created by the first one. And as drug effectiveness tends to decline with time, or the patient becomes addicted to the drug, the underlying illness is not being addressed.

So patients don't feel well, and they don't get well; indeed, their illness or illnesses seem to get progressively worse.

So it is perhaps not surprising that there is a significant, and growing number of people who no longer have confidence in what the ConMed Establishment (doctors, the NHS, the Government, and Big Pharma companies) are telling us. Instead, they begin to look for safer, more effective, drug-free medical treatment for their illnesses.

This is what constitutes "the health debate". It is going on within families throughout Britain, indeed throughout the entire western world - anywhere where health treatment is dominated by the Big Pharma drugs. 

Unfortunately, however, it is a very quiet debate as it is almost impossible to get any open, or transparent information into the mainstream media about what is really going on out here, in the world of health.

So for people who are looking for safer, more effective, drug-free treatment, it is a ‘debate’ that is just not happening.  

One problem is that the 'alternative medical world', such as the homeopathy community, has only a tiny voice, and it is a voice that is often marginalised and neglected by the Media. And of course, the voices raised against these small communities are loud and powerful, voices that seek to undermine and belittle the health debate, and the search for safe medical therapies. 

Foremost amongst these voices are the Big Pharma companies. Their power, influence and wealth is quite extraordinary. They have achieved almost total dominance within the National Health Service (NHS). In is now difficult to obtain any other form of treatment in our 'free' health service. Most of the 'medical experts’ working in the NHS are trained in, and totally committed to, drug-based medicine. 

And the mainstream media appear to believe these are the only health experts that exist! 

The ConMed Establishment have powerful contacts within our parliament and successive Government. Big Pharma, after all, is an important contributor to the UK economy, a major investor in industry and commerce, and a major employer. The story they want to project is that we are healthier now than we have ever been, and that are living longer - because of the success ConMed treatment.

Our so-called ‘Free’ Press and Media seems to be quite unable, and perhaps even unwilling to question or criticise the ConMed Establishment. Why? Perhaps because of the size of Big Pharma’s advertising budgets! Perhaps because those in charge of 'Big Corp' stick together, and support each other. Certainly, the social social influence of Big Pharma seems to have much to do with its wealth, and what (and perhaps who) that money can buy. Indeed, it seems to have very little to do with the ability to provide us with effective, safe or even cost-effective medicine!

Even the BBC, who are not dependent on advertising revenues, seem to be quite unable or unwilling to speak out - or even to allow a discussion on ‘the health debate’.

Yet despite this deafening silence from the mainstream media, interest in ‘non-drug’ therapies is increasing. People are moving away from ConMed, either through personal experience, or gleaning information from the dribs and drabs of information that the media cannot prevent reporting. Most important, people are resorting to the internet, and to blogs like this one, to find information about health. 

So despite the reluctance of the mainstream media to engage in "the health debate", information about the dangers of ConMed drugs and vaccines, and the people who have been damaged by them, is increasingly out here. The result is that people are now less inclined to believe in ConMed's claims of ‘miracle cures’, and the media's slavish adherence to them. People are becoming more aware that much of the illness, disease and death seen today, often at epidemic levels, has actually been caused by ConMed drugs.

So what are the components of "the health debate". What should the Media be discussing, but are choosing to ignore? I will deal with this in the second part of this series.

SURVIVALIST AND DOOMSDAY PREPPERS--- Oxygen Therapies

SURVIVALIST AND DOOMSDAY PREPPERS ULTIMATE MEDICINE GUIDE

ALTERNATIVE SOLUTIONS OFF THE GRID

Part Two:  Oxygen Therapies

Note For Part One: for those who disbelieve ultrasound frequencies can kill a germ, check out this brief dental reference:

“Sometimes a device may be electric,known as an ultrasonicor sonic scaler. Ultrasonic scalers vibrate at a frequency that breaks down bacterial cell membranes and removes both plaque and calculus. Hand instruments are used to complete the fine hand scaling that removes anything the ultrasonic scaler left behind.”

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scaling_and_root_planing

There are many other references from industry but suffice it to say that the FDA does not like a device that kills most germs and threatens to replace the pharmaceutical industry which is their reason for being.

Jumping right into the fray, (You can read part one), we come to a completely different yet as effective, oxygen therapy.  We don’t want to go into depth here because there are hundreds or even thousands  of papers on this subject, since it has been known and practiced for over a hundred years.  The famous Nicola Tesla may have been the first to build an ozone generator for the purpose of treatment, but we will come back to ozone in a minute. For an in depth study of the subject, see references at end.

The several standard forms of O2 therapy are:

Hydrogen peroxide:             May not be practical for survivalists long term. It breaks down over time and it is really hard to make, although Nature does a great job.  Normal rain has it, new born babes get it in breast milk, and our cells make minute amounts of it to kill germs.  Heavy to carry, and cannot be stored for longer than a few years if kept cool and dark, so;

Hyperbaric Oxygen: This is oxygen under pressure and is delivered in a contraption resembling an iron lung.  This too, is very impractical only because the power and oxygen it takes would be again hard to furnish in a survivalist scenario.  You might have a concentrator but that added to the chamber would require large amounts of power.  Impractical, so;

Ozone:           This demands some more explanation.  Ozone is highly active oxygen and is O3 having an extra atom of Oxygen.  It is unstable and when it breaks down the renegade O1 atom is chemically very hungry. It goes after whatever it can find to balance it electrically.  Since most if not all pathogens harmful to animals, are anaerobic (which means they hate oxygen), this little hunter chemical burns up or neutralizes any germ in its path.  Ozone in fact, has been used in alternative medicine for over 70 years and is actively used by thousands of doctors outside the USA!  It is a wide band approach since it kills all things anaerobic (that hate oxygen). See OZONE IN MEDICINE.  Would you believe Dr. Warburg won a Nobel prize for his work that showed cancer cannot live in an oxygen rich environment? See:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Otto_Heinrich_Warburg

Shocked? Well, your doctor might be too, since the establishment has spent years trying to brainwash him and the public into believing that ozone is smog. In fact, ozone is Nature’s way of neutralizing pollution of all types (IS OZONE REALLY THE CULPRIT?). Ask why many municipal water systems use ozone to purify public drinking water before it goes into  the pipes to your home e.g. North Hollywood, CA?  see Arizona Ozone,also great article from Water and Waste Digest.

But we wander. This is only a brief pointer toward more detailed info.

Ozone Generators:   Are of two types. 1)  A device that operates on ordinary air (mostly Nitrogen and oxygen), takes the oxygen and turns a small portion into ozone.  Many air cleaners, water cleaners and industrial apps like cleaning up mold and getting rid of smoke smells from fires, etc. use this method (Israeli industrial generators have been used in hospitals).  The gold medalist Mark Spitz refused to swim in a chlorinated pool and had his own ozone pool cleaner.  This is a good device for our purposes because it requires little power.  But its healing capacity is very limited due to the restrictions limiting the ozone content, put on by Federal and some state governments. (CA just passed a law to limit ozone generators). 

There are generators that make a great amount of ozone from the air and this can be enough to kill air borne and water borne pathogens.  It can be effective in healing but it takes time since the  concept one has to understand, is to saturate the area or tissues with enough oxygen to be effective, e.g. the hyperbaric chamber is effective precisely because it forces this concentration due to increased pressure.

The ideal is a generator that works off of pure oxygen and this is known as a medical grade generator.  The problem for us is, how does one fill the tank in a off the grid situation.  Again, a concentrator is one solution if you have the energy it takes.  Then, with the right ozone generator being fed with the higher percentage of oxygen, you would have the high percentage of ozone/oxygen it takes to treat serious diseases (the standard varies between 3% to 5% of ozone to pure oxygen).  There are machines that combine both qualities, i.e. air production and pure nxygen production and this is our preference. Some tinkering might be required but not much.

A machine or generator that can switch from using regular air to using pure oxygen would be ideal in any doomsday situation especially if its energy consumption were very small.  There are no known pathogens that can withstand a steady barrage of 5% + ozone for a few minutes. 

The best one we have found is OxyTech.  It is very light and portable and is stingy with  power. Also, little known by most is the wonderful cleansing and healing effect of steam ozone therapy.  Tom Cruise was very instrumental in helping 911 fireman detoxify using this approach.  All this info is available on the internet.   We have used the Oxy Tech machine and find it very useful; it has tremendous ozone producing capacity, requires only a few watts, can use air or an oxygen tank with the flip of a switch, and has a great warranty. 

It is impossible to due ozone justice in this short blog.  The clinical studies are endless. It has been used successfully on aids, cancer, lyme and many other diseases.  It is used in Germany and other countries by doctors since the FDA in Germany is not as restrictive, at least with doctors, as here in the US. It can be applied in many ways ranging from insuflation, to injection to bagging, etc.. Please see articles.  It is a great addition to the survival medicine repertoire and you should not wait to become acquainted with its many applications.  (Again, we are not doctors and are not making specific recommendations. Consult your alternative doctor)

TIME SHARING ALTERNATIVE MEDICAL DEVICES

TIME SHARING ALTERNATIVE MEDICAL DEVICES
 TO SAVE MONEY

Part One:  MAGNETIC THERAPY

You might not have heard of magnetic  therapy.  It has been extensively applied for many years using both static and pulse magnetic fields in alternative medicine but has not yet achieved FDA approval or wide acceptance by the public.   Many famous alternative doctors have praised magnetic therapy quite highly.  See end of article for some reference articles.

http://www.horsemagneticpulser.com/PMTscience.html

Static and pulsed magnetic fields have their differences but are very similar in effects.  Whereas the static approach may require a magnet weighing thousands of pounds and hundreds of hours of therapy, a pulse magnetic device can attain its goal with a relatively portable unit and a lot less time.  The physics are too complex for this brief article. They both have their advantages, but it is hard to find the several ton, static magnets in a town near you.  (Also, we are not saying that small magnets are not useful; they just cannot compare in efficacy to larger, more sophisticated and more powerful units.)

What is important is the sometimes astounding results that are affected by magnetic therapy  although no claims can be made at this time without the completion of IRBs being run for FDA approval.  We scanned the internet for familiar clinics we used to know about and could not find them.  They may still be there, but are not easy to locate.  Our friend who was a highly renowned orthopedic surgeon, ran one for several years but has apparently retired.  The reputable clinics may have had to move off shore to avoid harassment from the establishment.  No one likes competition, especially if it is better.

We have found several devices that offer varying degrees of professional strength treatment possibilities, and these are all under the classification of pulsed magnetic therapy.  Only one unit seems to have the “juice” to get the results sought, the HMP by physicist and inventor Gary Wade.  There may be others but we are not aware of them at this time.  The closest is a clone (The P3) to this original machine which has basically the same internals but is offered at a much higher price; perhaps due to marketing costs?  In any event, the one we found, is built in accordance with a commissioning agreement by the inventor himself,  and  is basically meant for treatment of horses and other large animals.  It is offered as an experimental device under current law and can be acquired for around 12.5K. 

This seems a lot unless you compare it to comparable devices like the Papimi which goes for  many times that amount if you can find it.  It was banned in the US for some obscure reason.  But, that is not unusual in the US where most effective alternative devices are banned or ridiculed as quackery by hired disinformation specialists, or the FDA, AMA, peer review boards, etc.;  one of the short-comings  of corporatism run amuck.

If you have been patient enough to get this far, then you shall be rewarded.  We came up with an idea, (not new or original) for the peasant class, (those of us not in the 1% bracket who can afford to buy it or go to a swanky resort offshore etc.) to afford an otherwise expensive machine.  Time shares have worked in the past when real estate was in its golden years,  and a similar idea would work well with alternative medic`l devices.  Or, perhaps some kind of health club limited to a few members who invest in such a device and share it fairly.  Of course, “fairly” is the operative word.  But this could be easily worked out with a simple written letter and notarized.  We cannot offer legal advice as to how this would work.  Perhaps, if thhere were four people, they would each own 25% and each pay 25% of the price. Each would be able use the device a quarter of the time, which could be split any way that was fair.  Any combination of percentages would work since some members of the group might only need to use it 10% or more like 30%.  Seems a good way to afford something like this, since when we are using a therapeutic device, it is not constant and we have to account for the time the body requires to heal, repair and eliminate toxins etc.  Plenty of time for others to use it wisely.  The only limitation we found was the weight due to the rather heavy electro-magnet.  One healthy person can move the device but it would be more appropriate to have it remain in one stable location.

AGAIN, we are not recommending the HMP or Horse Magnetic Pulser for human use although we have tried it many times and benefited from it with no untoward effects.  If you decide to use it for self experimentation that is your prerogative and you should probably not shout it from the treetops and try to impress your MD friends.  They do not like the competition, and it is beyond their pay grade unless they have a degree in physics and electronics.  But, if you are looking for a good alternative to surgery and drugs in treating the type of problems and injuries that magnetic therapy is ideal for, then this may be your answer.  We would advise only that you make a thorough study of the available information and ask questions etc.  Check out the video and articles at:
