I have abundance because I AM abundance. With no desire for wealth,nor fear of poverty one can give freely of possessions and time. This sets up a never ending flow of abundance.
A simple programming- secretly embedded in the subconscious of people always has them seeking for what is beyond themselves, somehow expecting to find answers to their questions. In order to have an answer you have to make yourself part of it. A free radical in the body steals electrons and moves around causing imbalance. Macro-cosmically we do the same, energetically taking things in our environment from external sources and trying to find balance. Money, houses, cars, relationships, we acquire these things because-..well we've been shown to and feel a great void within us if we don't follow suite. But why do we really seek these things? Why do we expect them to add something to our lives, and feel the sting of emptiness if we lose them?
Most people don't have an honest answer to this. This is not an easy path to walk down. You would have to discover, in your own personal experience why these things are part of your life and why you seek them out. Until then, a person is simply a broken record, mindlessly engaging in whatever enters their field of view. Simple interest, curiosity and thrill mean nothing. A person must search their heart and find WHY they have such desires, where they stem from, why they grow, and how they weaken the will. A person who acquires some wealth, or possession and then is saddened or knocked down by its absence does not know their own heart. Thus they are not ready for the WHY. Unless a person knows why they take certain paths, desires certain things, they will never be awake and never be free.
If you are alone, absolutely alone, and your happiness remains the same, then you have attained happiness- otherwise you have not. This is my child, this is my wealth: such thoughts are the preoccupations of fools. If we are unable to own even ourselves, why make such claims? Being alone and being lonely are not the same. The lonely seek friendship, the hungry seek sustenance, the angry seek conflict, the emotional seek drama, the fearful seek comfort. To be free of these patterns one has to seek the self; they must stop collecting information from books and outside sources and being collecting information from inside their own self. Otherwise a person will remain subjugated by their tendencies, and the seeking, regardless of its form; money, love, food etc. will always lock them in a prison in consciousness. Happiness is a person who wants what they have. Abundance is not a question of how much one has but of what one's attitude is toward what one has. And when the thirst dies down for such things, these things will be present with little to no effect on the individual. So do not seek abundance because it is here, you are it; simply find the direction life moves and go with it.
"Whether it be the lust for money, power or sex; the fire burns hot but seldom long. The warrior understands that once attained any desire is quickly replaced with another."

There is no oil spill
This is not an oil spill. Will it be a "spill" when millions of people in Florida, Texas and bordering states get sick or lose consciousness from the fumes in the air that will not dissipate? The corporate media, government officials and oil company executives continue to call the volcano of continuous gushing oil that is befouling the fragile Gulf ecosystem a spill.
A volcano that outflows over 21 million gallons of crude oil a week is NOT a spill. The common definition of a spill is: Liquid that fell out of a container, a one time occurrence- not a massive flow with no end in sight. There is a difference between a tanker spilling oil and the earth continuously spewing out oil from 35,000 within her bowels.
The definition of gush is to flow forth suddenly and violently. What we are faced with in the Gulf is a continuous and monster gusher of crude oil that has no known termination point.
So its a spill? No, its more than that. We have cut a vein in the earth and caused internal bleeding. This is a gusher. How long will the monetary cartels continue to call this gusher a mere spill or leak? Will people have to convulse and hemorrhage from their internal organs and lungs before the corporate media will show at least a modicum of truthfulness?
According to officials, soon the stench might become overwhelming on the Gulf coast and may not go away. This could impact the world permanently. The air will be poisonous and deadly, more so. Crude oil is composed of polynuclear aromatic hydrocarbons, xylenes, hydrogen sulfide, benzene, toluene, ethlbenzene, trimethylbenzene, and other combination of toxic chemicals.
According to the federal register and OSHA, these are all extremely hazardous substances. Exposure can cause serious health conditions. High concentrations of hydrogen sulfide can cause headaches, dizziness, loss of consciousness and/or death.
With the approach of hurricane season, this adds to the damage that can be done. Any intense storm that hits the Gulf could produce unheard of destruction. Yet in the face of these facts our "free", "unbiased" media insists on calling this continuous gushing volcano of toxic crude oil a spill.
The damage done here is a thousand times worse that 9/11, with permanent ecological, economic and even agricultural impacts. Yet the people who orchestrated this disaster, and those who have failed to truly find a resolve go unabated.
So I ask you, has there ever been more evidence that the International Monetary/Banking cartel that own the major oil companies own our media as well? If you live near the coast, or care enough about this planet we all share, and wish for it to be clean and healthy for our future generations, contact your local media and officials and demand the facts be brought to the surface.

Medicine, Nutrition, Peer Reivew: synthetic health
"Note: This is not an easy read and is not intended for those with weak will power." In both nutrition and medicine, old truths though proven wrong (such as the germ theory) and funded science dominate the text books and minds of practitioners. Even though the average person guided under the current medical/nutrition model has health problems, still business is good. Practitioners of nutrition and medicine have a hard time understanding what is outside the lines of their knowledge. But there is more to actually knowing than mimicking what we learn through filtered teachings. As the proverb goes "I hear and I forget, I see and I remember, I do and I understand" Doing leads to realization. To study the principles of mountain climbing is to gain conceptual knowledge; to climb a mountain is to experience direct realization.
We can believe we know a number of things from gathered facts, data from books, newspapers, sources, online and more. But wisdom flows from life experience. When it comes to medicine and nutrition, a term I hear used time and again is "peer review." This term is used to validate scientific findings and research, particularly in medicine and nutrition. The overwhelming amount of individuals who have eradicated disease through real nutritional science does not register in the minds of the text book practitioner. They rely solely on the comforts and confines of the walls created in their "knowing" through education. A practitioner may not care for living facts if these facts have not been peer reviewed. What is peer reviewed?
(See more on peer review at the bottom) The term "Peer Reviewed" like paradigm is a buzz word used by people in an attempt to sound like they know what they are talking about. This can be easily recognized because it is always used in a pejorative sense. Dating back as far as the year 931, peer review was used in medical manuals as a duplicate note system to report the patients conditions. When the patient was cured or had died, the notes of the physician were examined by a local medical council of other physicians, who would review the practicing physician's notes to decide whether his/her performance have met the required standards of medical care. If their reviews were negative, the practicing physician could face a lawsuit from a maltreated patient. In today's health model the peer review system is a failed system. It means absolutely nothing. A lot of the harbored, useless truths found by medicine have shaped a world where the the majority of people are on medication. Yet if medication worked, we would need less of it each year. In studying pathology, you are told that the future looks dark as cancer and other diseases will only get worse. So if physicians were to still receive lawsuits for maltreated patients and failing to maintain health in the general public, would this put Doctors and nutritionists out of work?
The New England Journal of Medicine, a wing of the American Congress, and the World Health Organization all separately declared that 85-90 percent of all medical procedures offered in the doctors' offices and hospitals today are not backed by scientific research or evidence.
The medical model sets the framework for nutritional guidelines. Even holistic nutritionists follow the failed system that is beaten into them while in school. Real research has shown that people under guidance of even holistic nutritionists do not compare to people following a whole and living foods lifestyle. Under the guidance of more conventional holistic nutrition, patients tend to have more coagulation in the blood, mucus buildup in the body, less oxygen in the cells and have deficiencies, particularly with enzyme production. Truth is in the numbers. Whether or not the findings of Dr. Ann Wigmore or Dr. Brian Clement are peer reviewed, patient recovery in their nutritional approach outdoes any other approach to health. It's as simple as that. But it is hard for someone to understand something when their paycheck depends on them not understanding it. Our education is designed in a way that we become mentally, and even emotionally attached to the data we integrate. At the end of the 1800's the learning experience was gutted, and compulsory education began to bring in as it was called " An era of more factory workers and less factory owners." Right now in our society there is a decrease in the amount of high I.Q's because the learning experience is purely conceptual. In America, conventional wisdom that has mass acceptance is usually contrived: somebody paid for it.
In Trust Us We're Experts, Stauber and Rampton pull together some compelling data describing the science of creating public opinion in America. They trace modern public influence back to the early part of the last century, highlighting the work of guys like Edward L. Bernays, the Father of Spin. From his own amazing chronicle Propaganda, we learn how Edward L. Bernays took the ideas of his famous uncle Sigmund Freud himself and applied them to the emerging science of mass persuasion. The only difference was that instead of using these principles to uncover hidden themes in the human unconscious, the way Freudian psychology does, Bernays used these same ideas to mask agendas and to create illusions that deceive and misrepresent, for marketing purposes. Bernays popularized the idea of bacon for breakfast, even though there was no science behind it. Not one to turn down a challenge, he set up the advertising format along with the AMA that lasted for nearly 50 years proving that cigarettes are beneficial to health. Just look at ads in issues of Life or Time from the 40s and 50s.
During the next several decades Bernays and his colleagues evolved the principles by which masses of people could be generally swayed through messages repeated over and over hundreds of times. One the value of media became apparent, other countries of the world tried to follow our lead. But Bernays really was the gold standard. Josef Goebbels, who was Hitler's minister of propaganda, studied the principles of Edward Bernays when Goebbels was developing the popular rationale he would use to convince the Germans that they had to purify their race. PR had proven effective and would be used in a wide variety of ways.
Stauber tells the amazing story of how leaded gas came into the picture. In 1922, General Motors discovered that adding lead to gasoline gave cars more horsepower. When there was some concern about safety, GM paid the Bureau of Mines to do some fake "testing" and publish spurious research that 'proved' that inhalation of lead was harmless. Enter Charles Kettering.
Founder of the world famous Sloan-Kettering Memorial Institute for medical research, Charles Kettering also happened to be an executive with General Motors. By some strange coincidence, we soon have the Sloan Kettering institute issuing reports stating that lead occurs naturally in the body and that the body has a way of eliminating low level exposure. Through its association with The Industrial Hygiene Foundation and PR giant Hill & Knowlton, Sloane Kettering opposed all anti-lead research for years. Without organized scientific opposition, for the next 60 years more and more gasoline became leaded, until by the 1970s, 90% or our gasoline was leaded.
Finally it became too obvious to hide that lead was a major carcinogen, and leaded gas was phased out in the late 1980s. But during those 60 years, it is estimated that some 30 million tons of lead were released in vapor form onto American streets and highways. 30 million tons.That is PR, my friends. Today because of PR and psyops green washing the natural/organic wholistic movement has been hijacked and redirected. The health food stores are full of sugar,the only real food is the produce. But even organic produce is not as nutritious as we think, seeing how organic soil has only about 2 percent organic matter. The crops are harvested too early and lose a lot of nutritional value in shipment. Still places like Wholefoods are bringing more conventional products, closing the door on the local organic farms, the true sovereignty and freedom that made this country. This helps consolidate power for conglomerates and bring in new food laws like H.R. 875, the food safety bill and Codex.
The Takeover:
Along with the infiltration of our food, comes the infiltration of our health. In natural magazines people like Dr. Oz grace the covers. Dr. Oz who aligns himself with people like Dr. Anthony Fauci who between 1972 and 1974 joined with Merck, the CDC, and the FDA and created the 4 different sub types of Hep-B vaccines that were given to gay men in NYC, blacks in central Africa and Willowbrook states school mentally retarded children in Staten Island that triggered the international AIDS pandemic. And for those who need it, this is a scientifically published fact. Yet this man's work can be seen as valid because of research done that has been "peer reviewed." But of course, the intention of medicine and nutrition are designed weaken health and control, not cure disease.
David Rockefeller: Memoirs 2002 Founder of the CFR:
“We wield over American political and economical institutions. Some even believe we are part of a secret cabal working against the best interests of the United States, characterizing my family and me as ‘internationalists’ and of conspiring with others around the world to build a more integrated global political structure, one world, if you will. If that’s the charge, I stand guilty, and I am proud of it.”
What do the Rockefellers have to do with medical science? Good question. John D. Rockefeller destroyed the understanding of health and help create the medical model we have now. The primary result of this activity was that his crude oil, worth perhaps a nickel per gallon, suddenly, turned into medical drugs, was worth millions of dollars per gallon. The initial changes in medicine seemed good, but the sinister and hidden purpose behind his millions of dollars of donations -- they are what we see today in the modern medical model -- based on drugs that don't cure, but increase the disease of mankind.The Rockefellers own the largest drug manufacturing combine in the world, and use all of their other interests to bring pressure to increase the sale of drugs. The fact that most of the 12,000 separate drug items on the market are harmful is of no concern to the Drug Trust.
"We doctors have been talking this medicine stuff into the people till they believe it." Dr. Schweningen (Physician to the late Prince Bismark
To teach the Rockefeller drug ideology, it is necessary to teach that Nature didn't know what she was doing when she made the human body. But statistics issued by the Children's Bureau of the Federal Security Agency show that since the all-out drive of the Drug Trust for drugging, vaccinating and serumizing the human system, the health of the American nation has sharply declined, especially among children. Children are now given "shots" for this and "shots" for that, when the only safeguard known to science is a pure bloodstream, which can be obtained only with clean air and wholesome food. Meaning by natural and inexpensive means. Just what the Drug Trust most objects to.
When the FDA, whose officials have to be acceptable to Rockefeller Center before they are appointed, has to put an independent operator out of business, it goes all out to execute those orders. But the orders do not come directly from Standard Oil or a drug house director. As Morris Bealle pointed out, the American Medical Association (AMA) is the front for the Drug Trust, and furnishes the quack doctors to testify that even when they know nothing of the product involved, it is their considered opinion that it has no therapeutic value.
"Before he [Louis Pasteur - the 'father of modern medicine' and originator of the Germ Theory of disease] died, he changed his mind. He ended up saying it's not the germ, but the conditions within the body..." Natural Health Lecturer: Ian Sinclair
Before the Rockefellers got involved, doctors were poor had a low social standing and as a profession had the highest rate of suicide. There were two opposing approaches to medicine, Homeopathic vs. Allopathic. Homeopaths practice a natural non toxic therapy designed to boost the body’s ability to heal. Where as allopaths were known for using toxic, unnatural treatments in trying to effect a cure. One of the best known allopathic treatments was blood letting, which had been practiced for centuries. One of the more famous cases involved George Washington who had come down with a bad soar throat. To help relieve him, doctors drained half the blood in his body, that didn't help so they had George swallow 650 mg of mercury. Mercury by the way is thousands of times more toxic and deadly than lead. George Washington died the next day; he was killed by some of the best Allopathic doctors in the country who were treating a case of strep throat. By 1900 much of the public had enough of these un-natural treatments and homeopaths were stealing patients from allopaths at an alarming rate. Around this time, the American Medical Association was formed as a doctors union to counter the growing power of homeopaths. As a a prominent member of the AMA stated:
"..we have never fought the homeopath on matter of principle. We fought him because he came into our community and got the business." - Dr. J.N. McCormack, AMA 1903
The AMA set out to destroy homeopaths and other competitors, which also included the military style raids of health food stores which closed them all down in the mid 1900's. Allopaths began labeling homeopaths as quacks, while harassing and slandering them. Backed by big business which smelled money in allopathic treatments, allopaths were able to change medical school curriculums, graduation requirements and licensing laws to favor allopaths and drive our any competition. The allopaths emerged as the victors, not because they had better medicines, but because they had made alliances with key business interests which saw fortunes to be made with new allopathic medical practices. The development of anesthesia and infection control meant a boom to surgery and financial interests started invest in hospitals and medical schools. Fortunes could be made because unlike natural remedies synthetic could be patented which brought investors flocking into the pharmaceutical field. Anxious to capitalize on this the AMA was quick to grant its seal of approval to any drug advertised in the AMA journal. As a result their advertising revenue soared, coupled with ads from the tobacco industry, the AMA Journal soon became the most profitable publication in the world. In other words, conventional allopathic medicines rise to power was due to the drug and tobacco money behind their medicine, not the patients they could heal. They played on people fears, addictions and ignorance to walk their way up to the top. No war crime or genocide has pulled off such horror and intent towards fellow human beings. It was profits, not proven medical benefits behind the adoption and wide spread use of surgery, radiation and chemotherapy treatments for cancer.
In the course of the last century the AMA aided by the FDA and others closed down hundreds of facilities which were using promising but non allopathic cancer treatments. In fact, several treatments had cured thousands of patients; these were well documented with reputable doctors confirming both the cancers and the cures. In the case against the doctor Max Gerson's nutritional treatment against cancer, Morris Fishbein attacked Gerson for "treating cancer patients with diet and warning them against cigarettes." Gerson had written extensive papers on his cancer therapies, which were published in the best European Medical journals, but he was blackballed in the U.S. and only one of his papers was published. Gerson would get calls from doctors asking " .. we know from your journals that you can cure cancer but we ask you what would we do with all of our expensive medical equipment, facilities, specially trained nurses and staff just throw them in huts and give them fruits and vegetable juices, we can't do that, there is no money in it."
" The inquisition is still with us. It is called the food and drug administration.. the national cancer institute.. the American cancer society and the AMA. They are allied together to destroy innovation in modern times. - Robert G. Houston
So what about the AMA? Fishbein, the President of the AMA first wanted to be a clown but then decided to attend medical school. His definition of a quack is “Someone who pretends to have medical skills he does not possess." Given the fact that Fishbein failed anatomy in medical school, never completed his internships, never practiced a day of medicine and never treated a single patient in his entire career, Fishbein himself turns out to be the ultimate quack. Usually the harsh words and things we project on to others are simply a reflection of our inner demons, our own insecurities. People now use the term quack or "psuedo science" for anything they don't understand simply because they have been taught to do so without questioning. Since it was founded the AMA's ultimate purpose is to eliminate competition to allopathic medicine, even if others can treat patients better than allopathic means. Nothing is allowed to get in the way of the AMA's business. So it comes as no surprise that the AMA has been sued four times for anti trust violations. In one case the AMA's goal was to completely destroy the Chiropractic profession, despite the fact that for over 40 years the AMA itself has shown that chiropractics were effective. The AMA was convicted in Federal court along with the American college of surgeons and the American college of radiologists.
So what is the agenda of the AMA and the Rockefeller empire?
'One of the most difficult concepts for Americans to accept is that there are human beings dedicated to coercive population control and genocide. Many readers will acknowledge that our government is helping to finance the Red Chinese program of forced abortion, forced sterilization, infanticide, and control of the numbers of live births. Most readers will accept the fact that our nation is helping to finance the United Nations' world-wide 'family planning program,' a form of population control. Most rational men and women, however, find it impossible to believe that such programs are really part of a 'master plan' to kill off large segments of the world's population.'
"One CFR published policy objective is substantial worldwide depopulation including half of the current U.S. population being targeted. This population reduction program is largely funded by the Rockefeller Foundation and the Merck Fund, both financially and administratively linked to the Merck pharmaceutical company--the world's leading vaccine manufacturer........Record
President Obama’s top science and technology adviser John P. Holdren co-authored a 1977 book in which he advocated the formation of a “planetary regime” that would use a “global police force” to enforce totalitarian measures of population control, including forced abortions, mass sterilization programs conducted via the food and water supply, as well as mandatory bodily implants that would prevent couples from having children. "If I were reincarnated I would wish to be returned to earth as a killer virus to lower human population levels." Prince Philip of Great Britain, leader of World Wildlife Fund
Obama brought the CFR to Washington, whose roots run deep into Nazi and pre-nazi era world socialism and bio-experimentation. Along with the CFR, military and governments have been funding research of chemicals and medicines on the public without public knowledge. For example: In 1951-1960 the U.S. Army paid Israels health minister to do radiation testing on children to migrated to Israel. At this time the Pentagon had irradiated over 4,000 institutionalized children in the U.S., many of which died as a result of the testing. More than 110,000 of the darker skin children were given 35,000 times the amount of radiation to the head; most of them died in months. Even today the Pentagon and other agencies test AIDS drugs, pesticides and deadly chemicals on thousands of foster kids throughout the U.S. Eugenics was huge in the early 1900's in America and even inspired the atrocities performed by Nazi Germany. With companies such as Ford, IBM, Morgan, Chase, and many others funding the third Reich, Nazi medicine and experimentation was an extension of our own.
Here is a very short history of medical experimentation:
1931: Dr. Cornelius Rhoads, under the auspices of the Rockefeller Institute for Medical Investigations, infects human subjects with cancer cells. He later goes on to establish the U.S. Army Biological Warfare facilities in Maryland, Utah, and Panama, and is named to the U.S. Atomic Energy Commission. While there, he begins a series of radiation exposure experiments on American soldiers and civilian hospital patients.
1932: The Tuskegee Syphilis Study begins. 200 black men diagnosed with syphilis are never told of their illness, are denied treatment, and instead are used as human guinea pigs in order to follow the progression and symptoms of the disease. They all subsequently die from syphilis, their families never told that they could have been treated.
1935: The Pellagra Incident. After millions of individuals die from Pellagra over a span of two decades, the U.S. Public Health Service finally acts to stem the disease. The director of the agency admits it had known for at least 20 years that Pellagra is caused by a niacin deficiency but failed to act since most of the deaths occurred within poverty-stricken black populations.
1940: Four hundred prisoners in Chicago are infected with Malaria in order to study the effects of new and experimental drugs to combat the disease. Nazi doctors later on trial at Nuremberg cite this American study to defend their own actions during the Holocaust.
1942: Chemical Warfare Services begins mustard gas experiments on approximately 4,000 servicemen. The experiments continue until 1945 and made use of Seventh Day Adventists who chose to become human guinea pigs rather than serve on active duty.
1943: In response to Japan's full-scale germ warfare program, the U.S. begins research on biological weapons at Fort Detrick, MD.
1944: U.S. Navy uses human subjects to test gas masks and clothing. Individuals were locked in a gas chamber and exposed to mustard gas and lewisite.
1945: Project Paperclip is initiated. The U.S. State Department, Army intelligence, and the CIA recruit Nazi scientists and offer them immunity and secret identities in exchange for work on top secret government projects in the United States.
1945: "Program F" is implemented by the U.S. Atomic Energy Commission (AEC). This is the most extensive U.S. study of the health effects of fluoride, which was the key chemical component in atomic bomb production. One of the most toxic chemicals known to man, fluoride, it is found, causes marked adverse effects to the central nervous system but much of the information is squelched in the name of national security because of fear that lawsuits would undermine full-scale production of atomic bombs.
1946: Patients in VA hospitals are used as guinea pigs for medical experiments. In order to allay suspicions, the order is given to change the word "experiments" to "investigations" or "observations" whenever reporting a medical study performed in one of the nation's veteran's hospitals.
1947: Colonel E.E. Kirkpatrick of the U.S. Atomic Energy Commission issues a secret document (Document 07075001, January 8, 1947) stating that the agency will begin administering intravenous doses of radioactive substances to human subjects.
1947: The CIA begins its study of LSD as a potential weapon for use by American intelligence. Human subjects (both civilian and military) are used with and without their knowledge.
1950: Department of Defense begins plans to detonate nuclear weapons in desert areas and monitor downwind residents for medical problems and mortality rates.
1950: In an experiment to determine how susceptible an American city would be to biological attack, the U.S. Navy sprays a cloud of bacteria from ships over San Francisco. Monitoring devices are situated throughout the city in order to test the extent of infection. Many residents become ill with pneumonia-like symptoms.
1951: Department of Defense begins open air tests using disease-producing bacteria and viruses. Tests last through 1969 and there is concern that people in the surrounding areas have been exposed.
1953: U.S. military releases clouds of zinc cadmium sulfide gas over Winnipeg, St. Louis, Minneapolis, Fort Wayne, the Monocacy River Valley in Maryland, and Leesburg, Virginia. Their intent is to determine how efficiently they could disperse chemical agents.
1953: Joint Army-Navy-CIA experiments are conducted in which tens of thousands of people in New York and San Francisco are exposed to the airborne germs Serratia marcescens and Bacillus glogigii.
1953: CIA initiates Project MKULTRA. This is an eleven year research program designed to produce and test drugs and biological agents that would be used for mind control and behavior modification. Six of the sub-projects involved testing the agents on unwitting human beings.
1955: The CIA, in an experiment to test its ability to infect human populations with biological agents, releases a bacteria withdrawn from the Army's biological warfare arsenal over Tampa Bay, Fl.
1955: Army Chemical Corps continues LSD research, studying its potential use as a chemical incapacitating agent. More than 1,000 Americans participate in the tests, which continue until 1958.
1956: U.S. military releases mosquitoes infected with Yellow Fever over Savannah, Ga and Avon Park, Fl. Following each test, Army agents posing as public health officials test victims for effects.
1958: LSD is tested on 95 volunteers at the Army's Chemical Warfare Laboratories for its effect on intelligence.
1960: The Army Assistant Chief-of-Staff for Intelligence (ACSI) authorizes field testing of LSD in Europe and the Far East. Testing of the european population is code named Project THIRD CHANCE; testing of the Asian population is code named Project DERBY HAT.
1965: Project CIA and Department of Defense begin Project MKSEARCH, a program to develop a capability to manipulate human behavior through the use of mind-altering drugs.
1965: Prisoners at the Holmesburg State Prison in Philadelphia are subjected to dioxin, the highly toxic chemical component of Agent Orange used in Viet Nam. The men are later studied for development of cancer, which indicates that Agent Orange had been a suspected carcinogen all along.
1966: CIA initiates Project MKOFTEN, a program to test the toxicological effects of certain drugs on humans and animals.
1966: U.S. Army dispenses Bacillus subtilis variant niger throughout the New York City subway system. More than a million civilians are exposed when army scientists drop lightbulbs filled with the bacteria onto ventilation grates.
1967: CIA and Department of Defense implement Project MKNAOMI, successor to MKULTRA and designed to maintain, stockpile and test biological and chemical weapons.
1968: CIA experiments with the possibility of poisoning drinking water by injecting chemicals into the water supply of the FDA in Washington, D.C.
1969: Dr. Robert MacMahan of the Department of Defense requests from congress $10 million to develop, within 5 to 10 years, a synthetic biological agent to which no natural immunity exists.
1970: Funding for the synthetic biological agent is obtained under H.R. 15090. The project, under the supervision of the CIA, is carried out by the Special Operations Division at Fort Detrick, the army's top secret biological weapons facility. Speculation is raised that molecular biology techniques are used to produce AIDS-like retroviruses.
1970: United States intensifies its development of "ethnic weapons" (Military Review, Nov., 1970), designed to selectively target and eliminate specific ethnic groups who are susceptible due to genetic differences and variations in DNA.
1975: The virus section of Fort Detrick's Center for Biological Warfare Research is renamed the Fredrick Cancer Research Facilities and placed under the supervision of the National Cancer Institute (NCI) . It is here that a special virus cancer program is initiated by the U.S. Navy, purportedly to develop cancer-causing viruses. It is also here that retrovirologists isolate a virus to which no immunity exists. It is later named HTLV (Human T-cell Leukemia Virus).
1977: Senate hearings on Health and Scientific Research confirm that 239 populated areas had been contaminated with biological agents between 1949 and 1969. Some of the areas included San Francisco, Washington, D.C., Key West, Panama City, Minneapolis, and St. Louis.
1978: Experimental Hepatitis B vaccine trials, conducted by the CDC, begin in New York, Los Angeles and San Francisco. Ads for research subjects specifically ask for promiscuous homosexual men.
1981: First cases of AIDS are confirmed in homosexual men in New York, Los Angeles and San Francisco, triggering speculation that AIDS may have been introduced via the Hepatitis B vaccine
1985: According to the journal Science (227:173-177), HTLV and VISNA, a fatal sheep virus, are very similar, indicating a close taxonomic and evolutionary relationship.
1986: According to the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (83:4007-4011), HIV and VISNA are highly similar and share all structural elements, except for a small segment which is nearly identical to HTLV. This leads to speculation that HTLV and VISNA may have been linked to produce a new retrovirus to which no natural immunity exists.
1986: A report to Congress reveals that the U.S. Government's current generation of biological agents includes: modified viruses, naturally occurring toxins, and agents that are altered through genetic engineering to change immunological character and prevent treatment by all existing vaccines.
1987: Department of Defense admits that, despite a treaty banning research and development of biological agents, it continues to operate research facilities at 127 facilities and universities around the nation.
1990: More than 1500 six-month old black and hispanic babies in Los Angeles are given an "experimental" measles vaccine that had never been licensed for use in the United States. CDC later admits that parents were never informed that the vaccine being injected to their children was experimental.
1994: With a technique called "gene tracking," Dr. Garth Nicolson at the MD Anderson Cancer Center in Houston, TX discovers that many returning Desert Storm veterans are infected with an altered strain of Mycoplasma incognitus, a microbe commonly used in the production of biological weapons. Incorporated into its molecular structure is 40 percent of the HIV protein coat, indicating that it had been man-made.
1994: Senator John D. Rockefeller issues a report revealing that for at least 50 years the Department of Defense has used hundreds of thousands of military personnel in human experiments and for intentional exposure to dangerous substances. Materials included mustard and nerve gas, ionizing radiation, psychochemicals, hallucinogens, and drugs used during the Gulf War .
1995: U.S. Government admits that it had offered Japanese war criminals and scientists who had performed human medical experiments salaries and immunity from prosecution in exchange for data on biological warfare research.
1995: Dr. Garth Nicolson, uncovers evidence that the biological agents used during the Gulf War had been manufactured in Houston, TX and Boca Raton, Fl and tested on prisoners in the Texas Department of Corrections.
1996: Department of Defense admits that Desert Storm soldiers were exposed to chemical agents.
1997: Eighty-eight members of Congress sign a letter demanding an investigation into bioweapons use & Gulf War Syndrome.
"The combined profits for the ten drug companies in the Fortune 500 ($35.9 billion) were more than the profits for all the other 490 businesses put together ($33.7 billion). Over the past two decades the pharmaceutical industry has moved very far from its original high purpose of discovering and producing useful new drugs. Now primarily a marketing machine to sell drugs of dubious benefit, this industry uses its wealth and power to co-opt every institution that might stand in its way, including the US Congress, the FDA, academic medical centers, and the medical profession itself."
-- Dr. Marcia Angell, former editor in chief of the New England Journal of Medicine
The truth is that more people die as a result of their physician than any other cause, besides the state. Whether it is through drugs, bad nutrition or malpractice, the medical model we know has failed. If Doctors are responsible for setting the standards in health, then as a result of the mounting number of sick and heavily medicated people in this country, these Doctors should be out of work. When I hear debates regarding facts beyond the conceptual knowledge of textbook health, hearing words like "peer review" are sad attempts a person makes to feel valid. If people actually know medical and scientific history they would not be so quick to react and toss word around.
Peer Review:
Publish or perish is the classic dilemma of every research scientist. That means whoever expects funding for the next research project had better get the current research paper published in the best scientific journals. And we all know that the best scientific journals, like JAMA, New England Journal, British Medical Journal, etc. are peer-reviewed. Peer review means that any articles which actually get published, between all those full color drug ads and pharmaceutical centerfolds, have been reviewed and accepted by some really smart guys with a lot of credentials. The assumption is, if the article made it past peer review, the data and the conclusions of the research study have been thoroughly checked out and bear some resemblance to physical reality.
But there are a few problems with this hot little set up. First off, money. Even though prestigious venerable medical journals pretend to be so objective and scientific and incorruptible, the reality is that they face the same type of being called to account that all glossy magazines must confront: don't antagonize your advertisers. Those full-page drug ads in the best journals cost millions,Jack. How long will a pharmaceutical company pay for ad space in a magazine that prints some very sound scientific research paper that attacks the safety of the drug in the centerfold? Think about it. The editors aren't that stupid.
Another problem is the conflict of interest thing. There's a formal requirement for all medical journals that any financial ties between an author and a product manufacturer be disclosed in the article. In practice, it never happens. A study done in 1997 of 142 medical journals did not find even one such disclosure. (Wall St. Journal, 2 Feb 99)
A 1998 study from the New England Journal of Medicine found that 96% of peer reviewed articles had financial ties to the drug they were studying. (Stelfox, 1998) Big shock, huh? Any disclosures? Yeah, right. This study should be pointed out whenever somebody starts getting too pompous about the objectivity of peer review, like they often do.
Then there's the outright purchase of space. A drug company may simply pay $100,000 to a journal to have a favorable article printed. (Stauber, p 204)
Fraud in peer review journals is nothing new. In 1987, the New England Journal ran an article that followed the research of R. Slutsky MD over a seven year period. During that time, Dr. Slutsky had published 137 articles in a number of peer-reviewed journals. NEJM found that in at least 60 of these 137, there was evidence of major scientific fraud and misrepresentation, including:
* reporting data for experiments that were never done * reporting measurements that were never made * reporting statistical analysis that were never done
Dean Black PhD, describes what he the calls the Babel Effect that results when this very common and frequently undetected scientific fraudulent data in peer-reviewed journals are quoted by other researchers, who are in turn re-quoted by still others, and so on.
Want to see something that sort of re-frames this whole discussion? Check out the McDonald's ads which often appear in the Journal of the American Medical Association. Then keep in mind that this is the same publication that for almost 50 years ran cigarette ads proclaiming the health benefits of tobacco. (Robbins)
Very scientific, oh yes.
We can believe we know a number of things from gathered facts, data from books, newspapers, sources, online and more. But wisdom flows from life experience. When it comes to medicine and nutrition, a term I hear used time and again is "peer review." This term is used to validate scientific findings and research, particularly in medicine and nutrition. The overwhelming amount of individuals who have eradicated disease through real nutritional science does not register in the minds of the text book practitioner. They rely solely on the comforts and confines of the walls created in their "knowing" through education. A practitioner may not care for living facts if these facts have not been peer reviewed. What is peer reviewed?
(See more on peer review at the bottom) The term "Peer Reviewed" like paradigm is a buzz word used by people in an attempt to sound like they know what they are talking about. This can be easily recognized because it is always used in a pejorative sense. Dating back as far as the year 931, peer review was used in medical manuals as a duplicate note system to report the patients conditions. When the patient was cured or had died, the notes of the physician were examined by a local medical council of other physicians, who would review the practicing physician's notes to decide whether his/her performance have met the required standards of medical care. If their reviews were negative, the practicing physician could face a lawsuit from a maltreated patient. In today's health model the peer review system is a failed system. It means absolutely nothing. A lot of the harbored, useless truths found by medicine have shaped a world where the the majority of people are on medication. Yet if medication worked, we would need less of it each year. In studying pathology, you are told that the future looks dark as cancer and other diseases will only get worse. So if physicians were to still receive lawsuits for maltreated patients and failing to maintain health in the general public, would this put Doctors and nutritionists out of work?
The New England Journal of Medicine, a wing of the American Congress, and the World Health Organization all separately declared that 85-90 percent of all medical procedures offered in the doctors' offices and hospitals today are not backed by scientific research or evidence.
The medical model sets the framework for nutritional guidelines. Even holistic nutritionists follow the failed system that is beaten into them while in school. Real research has shown that people under guidance of even holistic nutritionists do not compare to people following a whole and living foods lifestyle. Under the guidance of more conventional holistic nutrition, patients tend to have more coagulation in the blood, mucus buildup in the body, less oxygen in the cells and have deficiencies, particularly with enzyme production. Truth is in the numbers. Whether or not the findings of Dr. Ann Wigmore or Dr. Brian Clement are peer reviewed, patient recovery in their nutritional approach outdoes any other approach to health. It's as simple as that. But it is hard for someone to understand something when their paycheck depends on them not understanding it. Our education is designed in a way that we become mentally, and even emotionally attached to the data we integrate. At the end of the 1800's the learning experience was gutted, and compulsory education began to bring in as it was called " An era of more factory workers and less factory owners." Right now in our society there is a decrease in the amount of high I.Q's because the learning experience is purely conceptual. In America, conventional wisdom that has mass acceptance is usually contrived: somebody paid for it.
In Trust Us We're Experts, Stauber and Rampton pull together some compelling data describing the science of creating public opinion in America. They trace modern public influence back to the early part of the last century, highlighting the work of guys like Edward L. Bernays, the Father of Spin. From his own amazing chronicle Propaganda, we learn how Edward L. Bernays took the ideas of his famous uncle Sigmund Freud himself and applied them to the emerging science of mass persuasion. The only difference was that instead of using these principles to uncover hidden themes in the human unconscious, the way Freudian psychology does, Bernays used these same ideas to mask agendas and to create illusions that deceive and misrepresent, for marketing purposes. Bernays popularized the idea of bacon for breakfast, even though there was no science behind it. Not one to turn down a challenge, he set up the advertising format along with the AMA that lasted for nearly 50 years proving that cigarettes are beneficial to health. Just look at ads in issues of Life or Time from the 40s and 50s.
During the next several decades Bernays and his colleagues evolved the principles by which masses of people could be generally swayed through messages repeated over and over hundreds of times. One the value of media became apparent, other countries of the world tried to follow our lead. But Bernays really was the gold standard. Josef Goebbels, who was Hitler's minister of propaganda, studied the principles of Edward Bernays when Goebbels was developing the popular rationale he would use to convince the Germans that they had to purify their race. PR had proven effective and would be used in a wide variety of ways.
Stauber tells the amazing story of how leaded gas came into the picture. In 1922, General Motors discovered that adding lead to gasoline gave cars more horsepower. When there was some concern about safety, GM paid the Bureau of Mines to do some fake "testing" and publish spurious research that 'proved' that inhalation of lead was harmless. Enter Charles Kettering.
Founder of the world famous Sloan-Kettering Memorial Institute for medical research, Charles Kettering also happened to be an executive with General Motors. By some strange coincidence, we soon have the Sloan Kettering institute issuing reports stating that lead occurs naturally in the body and that the body has a way of eliminating low level exposure. Through its association with The Industrial Hygiene Foundation and PR giant Hill & Knowlton, Sloane Kettering opposed all anti-lead research for years. Without organized scientific opposition, for the next 60 years more and more gasoline became leaded, until by the 1970s, 90% or our gasoline was leaded.
Finally it became too obvious to hide that lead was a major carcinogen, and leaded gas was phased out in the late 1980s. But during those 60 years, it is estimated that some 30 million tons of lead were released in vapor form onto American streets and highways. 30 million tons.That is PR, my friends. Today because of PR and psyops green washing the natural/organic wholistic movement has been hijacked and redirected. The health food stores are full of sugar,the only real food is the produce. But even organic produce is not as nutritious as we think, seeing how organic soil has only about 2 percent organic matter. The crops are harvested too early and lose a lot of nutritional value in shipment. Still places like Wholefoods are bringing more conventional products, closing the door on the local organic farms, the true sovereignty and freedom that made this country. This helps consolidate power for conglomerates and bring in new food laws like H.R. 875, the food safety bill and Codex.
The Takeover:
Along with the infiltration of our food, comes the infiltration of our health. In natural magazines people like Dr. Oz grace the covers. Dr. Oz who aligns himself with people like Dr. Anthony Fauci who between 1972 and 1974 joined with Merck, the CDC, and the FDA and created the 4 different sub types of Hep-B vaccines that were given to gay men in NYC, blacks in central Africa and Willowbrook states school mentally retarded children in Staten Island that triggered the international AIDS pandemic. And for those who need it, this is a scientifically published fact. Yet this man's work can be seen as valid because of research done that has been "peer reviewed." But of course, the intention of medicine and nutrition are designed weaken health and control, not cure disease.
David Rockefeller: Memoirs 2002 Founder of the CFR:
“We wield over American political and economical institutions. Some even believe we are part of a secret cabal working against the best interests of the United States, characterizing my family and me as ‘internationalists’ and of conspiring with others around the world to build a more integrated global political structure, one world, if you will. If that’s the charge, I stand guilty, and I am proud of it.”
What do the Rockefellers have to do with medical science? Good question. John D. Rockefeller destroyed the understanding of health and help create the medical model we have now. The primary result of this activity was that his crude oil, worth perhaps a nickel per gallon, suddenly, turned into medical drugs, was worth millions of dollars per gallon. The initial changes in medicine seemed good, but the sinister and hidden purpose behind his millions of dollars of donations -- they are what we see today in the modern medical model -- based on drugs that don't cure, but increase the disease of mankind.The Rockefellers own the largest drug manufacturing combine in the world, and use all of their other interests to bring pressure to increase the sale of drugs. The fact that most of the 12,000 separate drug items on the market are harmful is of no concern to the Drug Trust.
"We doctors have been talking this medicine stuff into the people till they believe it." Dr. Schweningen (Physician to the late Prince Bismark
To teach the Rockefeller drug ideology, it is necessary to teach that Nature didn't know what she was doing when she made the human body. But statistics issued by the Children's Bureau of the Federal Security Agency show that since the all-out drive of the Drug Trust for drugging, vaccinating and serumizing the human system, the health of the American nation has sharply declined, especially among children. Children are now given "shots" for this and "shots" for that, when the only safeguard known to science is a pure bloodstream, which can be obtained only with clean air and wholesome food. Meaning by natural and inexpensive means. Just what the Drug Trust most objects to.
When the FDA, whose officials have to be acceptable to Rockefeller Center before they are appointed, has to put an independent operator out of business, it goes all out to execute those orders. But the orders do not come directly from Standard Oil or a drug house director. As Morris Bealle pointed out, the American Medical Association (AMA) is the front for the Drug Trust, and furnishes the quack doctors to testify that even when they know nothing of the product involved, it is their considered opinion that it has no therapeutic value.
"Before he [Louis Pasteur - the 'father of modern medicine' and originator of the Germ Theory of disease] died, he changed his mind. He ended up saying it's not the germ, but the conditions within the body..." Natural Health Lecturer: Ian Sinclair
Before the Rockefellers got involved, doctors were poor had a low social standing and as a profession had the highest rate of suicide. There were two opposing approaches to medicine, Homeopathic vs. Allopathic. Homeopaths practice a natural non toxic therapy designed to boost the body’s ability to heal. Where as allopaths were known for using toxic, unnatural treatments in trying to effect a cure. One of the best known allopathic treatments was blood letting, which had been practiced for centuries. One of the more famous cases involved George Washington who had come down with a bad soar throat. To help relieve him, doctors drained half the blood in his body, that didn't help so they had George swallow 650 mg of mercury. Mercury by the way is thousands of times more toxic and deadly than lead. George Washington died the next day; he was killed by some of the best Allopathic doctors in the country who were treating a case of strep throat. By 1900 much of the public had enough of these un-natural treatments and homeopaths were stealing patients from allopaths at an alarming rate. Around this time, the American Medical Association was formed as a doctors union to counter the growing power of homeopaths. As a a prominent member of the AMA stated:
"..we have never fought the homeopath on matter of principle. We fought him because he came into our community and got the business." - Dr. J.N. McCormack, AMA 1903
The AMA set out to destroy homeopaths and other competitors, which also included the military style raids of health food stores which closed them all down in the mid 1900's. Allopaths began labeling homeopaths as quacks, while harassing and slandering them. Backed by big business which smelled money in allopathic treatments, allopaths were able to change medical school curriculums, graduation requirements and licensing laws to favor allopaths and drive our any competition. The allopaths emerged as the victors, not because they had better medicines, but because they had made alliances with key business interests which saw fortunes to be made with new allopathic medical practices. The development of anesthesia and infection control meant a boom to surgery and financial interests started invest in hospitals and medical schools. Fortunes could be made because unlike natural remedies synthetic could be patented which brought investors flocking into the pharmaceutical field. Anxious to capitalize on this the AMA was quick to grant its seal of approval to any drug advertised in the AMA journal. As a result their advertising revenue soared, coupled with ads from the tobacco industry, the AMA Journal soon became the most profitable publication in the world. In other words, conventional allopathic medicines rise to power was due to the drug and tobacco money behind their medicine, not the patients they could heal. They played on people fears, addictions and ignorance to walk their way up to the top. No war crime or genocide has pulled off such horror and intent towards fellow human beings. It was profits, not proven medical benefits behind the adoption and wide spread use of surgery, radiation and chemotherapy treatments for cancer.
In the course of the last century the AMA aided by the FDA and others closed down hundreds of facilities which were using promising but non allopathic cancer treatments. In fact, several treatments had cured thousands of patients; these were well documented with reputable doctors confirming both the cancers and the cures. In the case against the doctor Max Gerson's nutritional treatment against cancer, Morris Fishbein attacked Gerson for "treating cancer patients with diet and warning them against cigarettes." Gerson had written extensive papers on his cancer therapies, which were published in the best European Medical journals, but he was blackballed in the U.S. and only one of his papers was published. Gerson would get calls from doctors asking " .. we know from your journals that you can cure cancer but we ask you what would we do with all of our expensive medical equipment, facilities, specially trained nurses and staff just throw them in huts and give them fruits and vegetable juices, we can't do that, there is no money in it."
" The inquisition is still with us. It is called the food and drug administration.. the national cancer institute.. the American cancer society and the AMA. They are allied together to destroy innovation in modern times. - Robert G. Houston
So what about the AMA? Fishbein, the President of the AMA first wanted to be a clown but then decided to attend medical school. His definition of a quack is “Someone who pretends to have medical skills he does not possess." Given the fact that Fishbein failed anatomy in medical school, never completed his internships, never practiced a day of medicine and never treated a single patient in his entire career, Fishbein himself turns out to be the ultimate quack. Usually the harsh words and things we project on to others are simply a reflection of our inner demons, our own insecurities. People now use the term quack or "psuedo science" for anything they don't understand simply because they have been taught to do so without questioning. Since it was founded the AMA's ultimate purpose is to eliminate competition to allopathic medicine, even if others can treat patients better than allopathic means. Nothing is allowed to get in the way of the AMA's business. So it comes as no surprise that the AMA has been sued four times for anti trust violations. In one case the AMA's goal was to completely destroy the Chiropractic profession, despite the fact that for over 40 years the AMA itself has shown that chiropractics were effective. The AMA was convicted in Federal court along with the American college of surgeons and the American college of radiologists.
So what is the agenda of the AMA and the Rockefeller empire?
'One of the most difficult concepts for Americans to accept is that there are human beings dedicated to coercive population control and genocide. Many readers will acknowledge that our government is helping to finance the Red Chinese program of forced abortion, forced sterilization, infanticide, and control of the numbers of live births. Most readers will accept the fact that our nation is helping to finance the United Nations' world-wide 'family planning program,' a form of population control. Most rational men and women, however, find it impossible to believe that such programs are really part of a 'master plan' to kill off large segments of the world's population.'
"One CFR published policy objective is substantial worldwide depopulation including half of the current U.S. population being targeted. This population reduction program is largely funded by the Rockefeller Foundation and the Merck Fund, both financially and administratively linked to the Merck pharmaceutical company--the world's leading vaccine manufacturer........Record
President Obama’s top science and technology adviser John P. Holdren co-authored a 1977 book in which he advocated the formation of a “planetary regime” that would use a “global police force” to enforce totalitarian measures of population control, including forced abortions, mass sterilization programs conducted via the food and water supply, as well as mandatory bodily implants that would prevent couples from having children. "If I were reincarnated I would wish to be returned to earth as a killer virus to lower human population levels." Prince Philip of Great Britain, leader of World Wildlife Fund
Obama brought the CFR to Washington, whose roots run deep into Nazi and pre-nazi era world socialism and bio-experimentation. Along with the CFR, military and governments have been funding research of chemicals and medicines on the public without public knowledge. For example: In 1951-1960 the U.S. Army paid Israels health minister to do radiation testing on children to migrated to Israel. At this time the Pentagon had irradiated over 4,000 institutionalized children in the U.S., many of which died as a result of the testing. More than 110,000 of the darker skin children were given 35,000 times the amount of radiation to the head; most of them died in months. Even today the Pentagon and other agencies test AIDS drugs, pesticides and deadly chemicals on thousands of foster kids throughout the U.S. Eugenics was huge in the early 1900's in America and even inspired the atrocities performed by Nazi Germany. With companies such as Ford, IBM, Morgan, Chase, and many others funding the third Reich, Nazi medicine and experimentation was an extension of our own.
Here is a very short history of medical experimentation:
1931: Dr. Cornelius Rhoads, under the auspices of the Rockefeller Institute for Medical Investigations, infects human subjects with cancer cells. He later goes on to establish the U.S. Army Biological Warfare facilities in Maryland, Utah, and Panama, and is named to the U.S. Atomic Energy Commission. While there, he begins a series of radiation exposure experiments on American soldiers and civilian hospital patients.
1932: The Tuskegee Syphilis Study begins. 200 black men diagnosed with syphilis are never told of their illness, are denied treatment, and instead are used as human guinea pigs in order to follow the progression and symptoms of the disease. They all subsequently die from syphilis, their families never told that they could have been treated.
1935: The Pellagra Incident. After millions of individuals die from Pellagra over a span of two decades, the U.S. Public Health Service finally acts to stem the disease. The director of the agency admits it had known for at least 20 years that Pellagra is caused by a niacin deficiency but failed to act since most of the deaths occurred within poverty-stricken black populations.
1940: Four hundred prisoners in Chicago are infected with Malaria in order to study the effects of new and experimental drugs to combat the disease. Nazi doctors later on trial at Nuremberg cite this American study to defend their own actions during the Holocaust.
1942: Chemical Warfare Services begins mustard gas experiments on approximately 4,000 servicemen. The experiments continue until 1945 and made use of Seventh Day Adventists who chose to become human guinea pigs rather than serve on active duty.
1943: In response to Japan's full-scale germ warfare program, the U.S. begins research on biological weapons at Fort Detrick, MD.
1944: U.S. Navy uses human subjects to test gas masks and clothing. Individuals were locked in a gas chamber and exposed to mustard gas and lewisite.
1945: Project Paperclip is initiated. The U.S. State Department, Army intelligence, and the CIA recruit Nazi scientists and offer them immunity and secret identities in exchange for work on top secret government projects in the United States.
1945: "Program F" is implemented by the U.S. Atomic Energy Commission (AEC). This is the most extensive U.S. study of the health effects of fluoride, which was the key chemical component in atomic bomb production. One of the most toxic chemicals known to man, fluoride, it is found, causes marked adverse effects to the central nervous system but much of the information is squelched in the name of national security because of fear that lawsuits would undermine full-scale production of atomic bombs.
1946: Patients in VA hospitals are used as guinea pigs for medical experiments. In order to allay suspicions, the order is given to change the word "experiments" to "investigations" or "observations" whenever reporting a medical study performed in one of the nation's veteran's hospitals.
1947: Colonel E.E. Kirkpatrick of the U.S. Atomic Energy Commission issues a secret document (Document 07075001, January 8, 1947) stating that the agency will begin administering intravenous doses of radioactive substances to human subjects.
1947: The CIA begins its study of LSD as a potential weapon for use by American intelligence. Human subjects (both civilian and military) are used with and without their knowledge.
1950: Department of Defense begins plans to detonate nuclear weapons in desert areas and monitor downwind residents for medical problems and mortality rates.
1950: In an experiment to determine how susceptible an American city would be to biological attack, the U.S. Navy sprays a cloud of bacteria from ships over San Francisco. Monitoring devices are situated throughout the city in order to test the extent of infection. Many residents become ill with pneumonia-like symptoms.
1951: Department of Defense begins open air tests using disease-producing bacteria and viruses. Tests last through 1969 and there is concern that people in the surrounding areas have been exposed.
1953: U.S. military releases clouds of zinc cadmium sulfide gas over Winnipeg, St. Louis, Minneapolis, Fort Wayne, the Monocacy River Valley in Maryland, and Leesburg, Virginia. Their intent is to determine how efficiently they could disperse chemical agents.
1953: Joint Army-Navy-CIA experiments are conducted in which tens of thousands of people in New York and San Francisco are exposed to the airborne germs Serratia marcescens and Bacillus glogigii.
1953: CIA initiates Project MKULTRA. This is an eleven year research program designed to produce and test drugs and biological agents that would be used for mind control and behavior modification. Six of the sub-projects involved testing the agents on unwitting human beings.
1955: The CIA, in an experiment to test its ability to infect human populations with biological agents, releases a bacteria withdrawn from the Army's biological warfare arsenal over Tampa Bay, Fl.
1955: Army Chemical Corps continues LSD research, studying its potential use as a chemical incapacitating agent. More than 1,000 Americans participate in the tests, which continue until 1958.
1956: U.S. military releases mosquitoes infected with Yellow Fever over Savannah, Ga and Avon Park, Fl. Following each test, Army agents posing as public health officials test victims for effects.
1958: LSD is tested on 95 volunteers at the Army's Chemical Warfare Laboratories for its effect on intelligence.
1960: The Army Assistant Chief-of-Staff for Intelligence (ACSI) authorizes field testing of LSD in Europe and the Far East. Testing of the european population is code named Project THIRD CHANCE; testing of the Asian population is code named Project DERBY HAT.
1965: Project CIA and Department of Defense begin Project MKSEARCH, a program to develop a capability to manipulate human behavior through the use of mind-altering drugs.
1965: Prisoners at the Holmesburg State Prison in Philadelphia are subjected to dioxin, the highly toxic chemical component of Agent Orange used in Viet Nam. The men are later studied for development of cancer, which indicates that Agent Orange had been a suspected carcinogen all along.
1966: CIA initiates Project MKOFTEN, a program to test the toxicological effects of certain drugs on humans and animals.
1966: U.S. Army dispenses Bacillus subtilis variant niger throughout the New York City subway system. More than a million civilians are exposed when army scientists drop lightbulbs filled with the bacteria onto ventilation grates.
1967: CIA and Department of Defense implement Project MKNAOMI, successor to MKULTRA and designed to maintain, stockpile and test biological and chemical weapons.
1968: CIA experiments with the possibility of poisoning drinking water by injecting chemicals into the water supply of the FDA in Washington, D.C.
1969: Dr. Robert MacMahan of the Department of Defense requests from congress $10 million to develop, within 5 to 10 years, a synthetic biological agent to which no natural immunity exists.
1970: Funding for the synthetic biological agent is obtained under H.R. 15090. The project, under the supervision of the CIA, is carried out by the Special Operations Division at Fort Detrick, the army's top secret biological weapons facility. Speculation is raised that molecular biology techniques are used to produce AIDS-like retroviruses.
1970: United States intensifies its development of "ethnic weapons" (Military Review, Nov., 1970), designed to selectively target and eliminate specific ethnic groups who are susceptible due to genetic differences and variations in DNA.
1975: The virus section of Fort Detrick's Center for Biological Warfare Research is renamed the Fredrick Cancer Research Facilities and placed under the supervision of the National Cancer Institute (NCI) . It is here that a special virus cancer program is initiated by the U.S. Navy, purportedly to develop cancer-causing viruses. It is also here that retrovirologists isolate a virus to which no immunity exists. It is later named HTLV (Human T-cell Leukemia Virus).
1977: Senate hearings on Health and Scientific Research confirm that 239 populated areas had been contaminated with biological agents between 1949 and 1969. Some of the areas included San Francisco, Washington, D.C., Key West, Panama City, Minneapolis, and St. Louis.
1978: Experimental Hepatitis B vaccine trials, conducted by the CDC, begin in New York, Los Angeles and San Francisco. Ads for research subjects specifically ask for promiscuous homosexual men.
1981: First cases of AIDS are confirmed in homosexual men in New York, Los Angeles and San Francisco, triggering speculation that AIDS may have been introduced via the Hepatitis B vaccine
1985: According to the journal Science (227:173-177), HTLV and VISNA, a fatal sheep virus, are very similar, indicating a close taxonomic and evolutionary relationship.
1986: According to the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (83:4007-4011), HIV and VISNA are highly similar and share all structural elements, except for a small segment which is nearly identical to HTLV. This leads to speculation that HTLV and VISNA may have been linked to produce a new retrovirus to which no natural immunity exists.
1986: A report to Congress reveals that the U.S. Government's current generation of biological agents includes: modified viruses, naturally occurring toxins, and agents that are altered through genetic engineering to change immunological character and prevent treatment by all existing vaccines.
1987: Department of Defense admits that, despite a treaty banning research and development of biological agents, it continues to operate research facilities at 127 facilities and universities around the nation.
1990: More than 1500 six-month old black and hispanic babies in Los Angeles are given an "experimental" measles vaccine that had never been licensed for use in the United States. CDC later admits that parents were never informed that the vaccine being injected to their children was experimental.
1994: With a technique called "gene tracking," Dr. Garth Nicolson at the MD Anderson Cancer Center in Houston, TX discovers that many returning Desert Storm veterans are infected with an altered strain of Mycoplasma incognitus, a microbe commonly used in the production of biological weapons. Incorporated into its molecular structure is 40 percent of the HIV protein coat, indicating that it had been man-made.
1994: Senator John D. Rockefeller issues a report revealing that for at least 50 years the Department of Defense has used hundreds of thousands of military personnel in human experiments and for intentional exposure to dangerous substances. Materials included mustard and nerve gas, ionizing radiation, psychochemicals, hallucinogens, and drugs used during the Gulf War .
1995: U.S. Government admits that it had offered Japanese war criminals and scientists who had performed human medical experiments salaries and immunity from prosecution in exchange for data on biological warfare research.
1995: Dr. Garth Nicolson, uncovers evidence that the biological agents used during the Gulf War had been manufactured in Houston, TX and Boca Raton, Fl and tested on prisoners in the Texas Department of Corrections.
1996: Department of Defense admits that Desert Storm soldiers were exposed to chemical agents.
1997: Eighty-eight members of Congress sign a letter demanding an investigation into bioweapons use & Gulf War Syndrome.
"The combined profits for the ten drug companies in the Fortune 500 ($35.9 billion) were more than the profits for all the other 490 businesses put together ($33.7 billion). Over the past two decades the pharmaceutical industry has moved very far from its original high purpose of discovering and producing useful new drugs. Now primarily a marketing machine to sell drugs of dubious benefit, this industry uses its wealth and power to co-opt every institution that might stand in its way, including the US Congress, the FDA, academic medical centers, and the medical profession itself."
-- Dr. Marcia Angell, former editor in chief of the New England Journal of Medicine
The truth is that more people die as a result of their physician than any other cause, besides the state. Whether it is through drugs, bad nutrition or malpractice, the medical model we know has failed. If Doctors are responsible for setting the standards in health, then as a result of the mounting number of sick and heavily medicated people in this country, these Doctors should be out of work. When I hear debates regarding facts beyond the conceptual knowledge of textbook health, hearing words like "peer review" are sad attempts a person makes to feel valid. If people actually know medical and scientific history they would not be so quick to react and toss word around.
Peer Review:
Publish or perish is the classic dilemma of every research scientist. That means whoever expects funding for the next research project had better get the current research paper published in the best scientific journals. And we all know that the best scientific journals, like JAMA, New England Journal, British Medical Journal, etc. are peer-reviewed. Peer review means that any articles which actually get published, between all those full color drug ads and pharmaceutical centerfolds, have been reviewed and accepted by some really smart guys with a lot of credentials. The assumption is, if the article made it past peer review, the data and the conclusions of the research study have been thoroughly checked out and bear some resemblance to physical reality.
But there are a few problems with this hot little set up. First off, money. Even though prestigious venerable medical journals pretend to be so objective and scientific and incorruptible, the reality is that they face the same type of being called to account that all glossy magazines must confront: don't antagonize your advertisers. Those full-page drug ads in the best journals cost millions,Jack. How long will a pharmaceutical company pay for ad space in a magazine that prints some very sound scientific research paper that attacks the safety of the drug in the centerfold? Think about it. The editors aren't that stupid.
Another problem is the conflict of interest thing. There's a formal requirement for all medical journals that any financial ties between an author and a product manufacturer be disclosed in the article. In practice, it never happens. A study done in 1997 of 142 medical journals did not find even one such disclosure. (Wall St. Journal, 2 Feb 99)
A 1998 study from the New England Journal of Medicine found that 96% of peer reviewed articles had financial ties to the drug they were studying. (Stelfox, 1998) Big shock, huh? Any disclosures? Yeah, right. This study should be pointed out whenever somebody starts getting too pompous about the objectivity of peer review, like they often do.
Then there's the outright purchase of space. A drug company may simply pay $100,000 to a journal to have a favorable article printed. (Stauber, p 204)
Fraud in peer review journals is nothing new. In 1987, the New England Journal ran an article that followed the research of R. Slutsky MD over a seven year period. During that time, Dr. Slutsky had published 137 articles in a number of peer-reviewed journals. NEJM found that in at least 60 of these 137, there was evidence of major scientific fraud and misrepresentation, including:
* reporting data for experiments that were never done * reporting measurements that were never made * reporting statistical analysis that were never done
Dean Black PhD, describes what he the calls the Babel Effect that results when this very common and frequently undetected scientific fraudulent data in peer-reviewed journals are quoted by other researchers, who are in turn re-quoted by still others, and so on.
Want to see something that sort of re-frames this whole discussion? Check out the McDonald's ads which often appear in the Journal of the American Medical Association. Then keep in mind that this is the same publication that for almost 50 years ran cigarette ads proclaiming the health benefits of tobacco. (Robbins)
Very scientific, oh yes.

Take the sword, cut the ties.
Silence is the warriors art and meditation is his sword. With it I cut through limiting illusions. The swords usefulness depends upon the one who wields it. If you do not know how to use a sword properly you can hurt yourself. It can be dangerous, deluding or a useless tool. Meditation can initially help you relax. You may put your sword on display, proudly show it to friends. The gleam of this sword distracts many meditators until they abandon it to see other techniques. In contrast the warrior uses the sword with skill and understanding. With it, he cuts the mind to ribbons, slashing through thoughts to reveal their lack of substance.
"Iron is full of impurities that weaken it; through forging, it becomes steel and is transformed into razor-sharp sword. Human beings develop in the same fashion."- Ueshiba
The sword frees the knots in the mind, until the day you transcend your need for it at all. Until then use the sword to cut the connections of unhealthy relationships, habits and feelings. Sever the strands of myopic thoughts and critical perspectives of ourselves and our world. The associations we forge in life which limit us from seeing things as they really are can be cut, devalued to reveal their worth; nothing. Meditation is not sitting and attempting to mimick what we see from statues and pictures. Meditation is in every action. It is rising awareness and the choice to creatively act rather than respond to our world. It is easiest to practice meditation and mindfulness when life seems to be going your way. But the task is to stay grounded and focuses when things seem toughest.
Life will never go your way, life has a way of its own. You will suffer however when you contend with the great current of life. Going with the flow is to steer our own path while going with the flow of life. Any pain, suffering or dissatisfaction we feel is a result of us not moving with life. Our attachments, desires and expectations don't allow much room for movement, for change. We need to cut ourselves from them. We operate on painful past experiences and react to life, recreating our past. We destroy opportunities for new relationships, careers, connections because our attachments to past experiences design our responses to predicatively react. We can stumble into patterns of dependency, feeling that we need validity, recognition, love and admiration. If we didn't get both rain and sunshine, life on this planet could not go on, could not grow. When we hang on to things beyond a certain point- youth, beauty,power, roles, success- we suffer. Because just like food, these ambitions, desires and feelings don't last forever. They constantly change as we constantly change.
It can feel hard to change or grow if we are anchored down to the past and to our memories and feelings. We all seem to have a role to play; identities from sources that we feel original to become. Clothes, beliefs, music, tastes, interests, all these things are how we are not who we are. When we take these things away all that is left is the true self; who we work at being every day. Is there someone there when you remove all the things you attach to? Do you talk, act and behave according to your chosen identity, who you are supposed to be according to the world which has created you? Or do you have enough strength to forge your own self outside of the restrictions and impressions of the world around you? Can you NOT respond to the world when it doesn't go your way? Can you let go?
"The Art of Peace does not rely on weapons or brute force to succeed; instead we put ourselves in tune with the universe, maintain peace in our own realms, nurture life, and prevent death and destruction. The true meaning of the term samurai is one who serves and adheres to the power of love."- Ueshiba
I train with a sword, rather the sword trains me. It helps me meditate in movement, to perfect motion, breathing, thinking and being. To extend myself and develop sensitivity to something outside the reaches of my sense perception. Meditating in action is letting go of the role you have to play and the person you are required to become, and embracing who you really are no matter what the world thinks.
Most people have friends and relationships that would be in jeopardy if they changed, even in the slightest. If you choose to be spontaneous, rather than a set of reactions and repetitive emotions, people will not be able to identify with you. If you don't act thug, hardcore, vegan, buddhist, christian, etc. people become uncomfortable and begin to question you. You are not expected to be yourself, you are expected to remain attached to the limits of ego, who you are supposed to pretend to be. All the things the world has shown you and you picked up along the way. But what has come from inside your own experience? What has been applied to you that has not come from something you have read, seen or heard? What is behind the mask and how far can you go when you take up the sword and cut the attachments?
You cannot master the art of the sword, the sword helps you master yourself.
"When you feel fear. Use the sword, take it up here and cut the mind to ribbons, slash through all those regrets and fears, anything else that lives in past or the future"- Ueshiba

The truth about your cleaning products.
Links as the bottom!
Note TRICLOSAN - “Lab studies link triclosan to cancer, developmental defects, and liver and inhalation toxicity.” It is in your soap, anti-bacterial soap, toothpaste, and more. Present in urine of more than 75% of Americans.
In cleaners: Phthalates are linked to lower testosterone levels, decreased sperm counts, poor sperm quality, malformations of the male reproductive tract and testicular cancer, obesity, reduced female fertility, preterm birth and low birthweight, a worsening of allergy and asthma symptoms, behavior changes, as well as being linked to autism in the first trimestr and ADHD in the third trimester of preganacy.
A recent conversation regarding being healthy and hygienic prompted me to write this article. We live in a time of pseudo health. The PR display of health is all campaigning for products and pharmaceutical companies. All this dieting and health talk and yet people get sicker each year. Modern medicine has created an amazing image in the minds of everyone; they have made people believe natural things like real organic food and products will not help you, yet chemicals and synthetic substances will. They created a war on germs and bacteria. But the truth is we have 10 or more times the amount of bacteria than we do cells. In fact we need bacteria both good and bad to survive and build immunity.
The reality is we are breeding super bugs by chemically dumbing down our food, soil and bodies. Superbugs that are ravaging our bodies, crops the soil and hospitals. On the other side of that coin, we not only take a vast amount of chemicals and drugs that kill healthy bacteria needed in the body for immunity, but we dump these gender bending chemical cocktails in the food and water supply leaving the population open to a host of health threats. Could this be why we have an epidemic of sick and terminally ill people in this country? People who rely on medicine which if worked would be needed less rather than more and more each year?
People eat meat from animals pumped with hormones, antibiotics, that are sick with cancer, leukemia and various diseases. After processing the animal its fecal matter is not washed off the meat. Instead it is eaten by the consumer. With vegetables, not only are pesticides linked to autism, Alzheimer, cancers and a plethora of health issues, but they create superbugs. These superbugs become resistant to the chemicals used as pesticides and destroy the soil. Humans need the soil to be fertile and healthy in order to survive. Most people have never actually eaten real food, but they do have a wide range of early deteriorating signs as a result of malnutrition. The human body needs certain nutrients to survive, nutrients that you cannot get from processed synthetic supplements that leave out the important co-factors that enable the synergistic properties of vitamins and nutrients.
Our soil needs 20 percent or more of organic matter in order for human life to thrive. Today our soil has 2-4 percent organic matter and if people actually knew the number of sick individuals in this country they would awaken to see the link between the soil and health. So our immunity beaten by a diet pumped with harmful chemicals and then increased by drug pushing doctors that destroy our digestive health and immune building bacteria is then compromised further by attacking our first line of defense; our skin. Women in particular put over 1000 carcinogenic chemicals on their body a day. Most frequent are parabens which have been discovered in breast cancer and tumors of individuals who use lotions and products containing parabens. We try to practice fake synthetic hygiene by using antibacterial soap. Soaps containing triclosan, a rip roaring carcinogen. Disinfectants train superbugs to resist antibiotics and the FDA is concerned about dangers of triclosan, the chemical used in antibacterial soaps. Makes you think about hospitals who use nothing but chemicals to clean, do the have problems? Superbugs caused by chemical cleaners in hospitals kill 48000 patients a year.
So if our food, water and health wasn't bad enough people believe that spraying the air with known cancer causing chemicals will actually clean it and leave you unharmed. People who have allergies and what they consider "regular" health conditions do not consider what they are spraying around them all the time. Using a spray cleaner only once a week increased the risk of developing asthma by almost 50 percent.
Chemicals are all around us. Childrens bodies and fetus's are riddled with thousands of deadly chemicals and heavy metals contributing to the pandemic of autism and degenerative diseases in children. What is worse, the vaccines and drugs given to children as they age destroy their immunity and can even make them sterile.
"The combined profits for the ten drug companies in the Fortune 500 ($35.9 billion) were more than the profits for all the other 490 businesses put together ($33.7 billion). Over the past two decades the pharmaceutical industry has moved very far from its original high purpose of discovering and producing useful new drugs.

Medical science has absolutely failed 100 percent, failed in the curing and prevention of illness, sickness, and disease. Consider the following startling bits of data:
*More people get colds and flus than ever before
*More people get cancer than ever before
*More people have diabetes than ever before
*More people have heart disease than ever before
*More people have multiple sclerosis, lupus, muscular dystrophy, asthma, migraine headaches, joint, neck and back pain than ever before
*More people have acid reflux, ulcers, and stomach problems than ever before
*More women have menopause problems than ever before
*More women have more frequent PMS and more severe PMS than ever before
*More kids have attention problems and hyperactivity than ever before
*More people have chronic fatigue than ever before
*More people have insomnia than ever before
*More people have skin, acne, and dandruff problems than ever before
*More people suffer from depression, stress, and anxiety than ever before
*More men and women suffer from sexual dysfunction and infertility than ever before
*More people suffer from allergies, arthritis, constipation, fibromyalgia, cold sores, and herpetic breakouts than ever before
*More men suffer from prostate problems than ever before
*More women suffer from yeast infection than ever before
Yet surprisingly enough...
*There are more people going to visit doctors than ever before
*There are more people getting diagnostic testing, such as blood tests and x-rays, than ever before
*More people are taking nonprescription and prescription drugs than ever before
*Not only are more people taking drugs, but each person is taking more drugs than ever before
*There are more surgeries performed than ever before
There is a true and very real epidemic hiding under the glitter and distractions of modern society. We have retroviruses and autism peaking around every corner of every town, of every state. We have millions of people on psychotropic drugs and tranquilizers. The conventional approach to cleaning, hygiene and medicine has failed you. Doctors write over 3 billion prescriptions a year. That does not exemplify a healthy society. That is curing sickness, that is controlling and profiting by it.

Free your mind
Your own mind, not people or your surroundings, is the source of your mood. It is better that you take responsibility for your life as it is instead of blaming others or circumstances for what arises in your life. As your eyes open you will see that the state of your health, happiness and every circumstance in your life has largely, been arranged by you, consciously or unconsciously. Look deeper and you will see there is a direct relationship between the people and circumstances we are opposed to and our own shortcomings. Neither your disappointment nor your anger are caused by other people or events. These things are out of your control. What does upset you however is how people expose internal feelings. Feelings that should be in your control are easily manipulated by others, and the vulnerability, leaving us feeling exposed, drives us insane.
Not many people know what it is like to spend a day outside the daily recreated sufferings, drama and conflict we maintain for ourselves. We respond to the world through a thick layer of predictive programming and emotional dependency. When emotions are dominate, the mind is in control and the senses are dead. We lose the sense that we are connected to others and our environment. We should learn to become sensitive to subtly. Their actions in life are often very habitual, programmed, and reactive to forces outside of them. In other words, their lives are ruled by forces beyond them, and not by a true inner self or spirit.
This is why people have all sorts of addictions (to junk food, tobacco, alcohol, drugs, gambling, sex, money, and so on). People respond to all kinds of influences from outside themselves, but remain disconnected from within. And, the busier they are, the less likely they even try to connect with the Supreme Ultimate spiritual source. They are connected as if by strings to everything else. If we are angry at someone else, we are dependent on them to guide our emotional responses, this is why we cannot stop being angry. We are weak and are deeply subjugated by others, so we suffer. In order to be free and not respond to the whim of emotional flareups we have to face our own shadow.You experience the world through your five primary senses; visual, auditory, tactile, olfactory, and gustatory. But you do not take in these impressions directly as they are. They pass through multiple filters, colored and often distorted by your interpretations, expectations, beliefs, associations, fears, desires and opinions. You also perceive through cultural, religious, professional, educational, and gender filters created by your own unique experiences.
Our perspectives are always colored by the experiences that we've had, and an emotional response that we're having to what we're bringing in. Who is in the driver's seat when we control our emotions or we respond to our emotions? The body is a protein-producing machine. In the hypothalamus, we take small-chain proteins called peptides and we assemble them into certain neuropeptides or neurohormones that match the emotional states that we experience on a daily basis. So there's chemicals for anger, and there's chemicals for sadness and there's chemicals for victimization. There's chemicals for lust. There's a chemical that matches every emotional state that we experience.
And the moment that we experience that emotional state in our body or in our brain that hypothalamus will immediately assemble the peptide and then releases it through the pituitary into the bloodstream. The moment it makes it into the bloodstream it finds its way to different centers or different parts of the body.Now, every single cell in the body has these receptors on the outside. Now one cell can have thousands of receptors studding its surface, kind of opening up to the outside world. And when a peptide docks on a cell it literally,like a key going into a lock sits on the receptor surface and attaches to it and kind of moves the receptor.
What happens in adulthood is that most of us who've had our glitches along the way are operating in an emotionally detached place or we're operating as if today were yesterday. In either the disconnected place or the overly emotional reactive place they've gone to an earlier time in reality. We bring to ourselves situations that will fulfill the biochemical craving of the cells of our body by creating situations that meet our chemical needs. "It always happens to me", "Every day!"," Why me?",And the addict will always need a little bit more in order to get a rush or a high of what they're looking for chemically."Don't tell me to calm down!","You're always bossing me around."
So my definition really means that if you can't control your emotional state you must be addicted to it. So how can anyone really say they're in love with a specific person? For example: They're only in love with the anticipation of the emotions they're addicted to. Because the same person could fall out of favor the next week by not complying. My goodness, doesn't that change the landscape of our emotional outlook on personal needs and identities? We are emotions and emotions are us.
Again I can't separate emotions. When you consider that, every aspect of your digestion every sphincter that opens and closes every group of cells that come in for nourishment and then moves out to heal something or repair something--Those are all under the influence of the molecules of emotion. So you ask if emotions are bad. Emotions are not bad. They're life. Heroin uses the same receptor mechanisms on the cells that our emotional chemicals use. It's easy to see then that if we can be addicted to heroin then we can be addicted to any neural peptide, any emotion. The relevant search command that's going on is related to finding a certain emotional state. I mean, we can't even direct our eyes without having an emotional aspect to it.
If we're bombarding the cell with the same attitude and the same chemistry over and over again on a daily basis when that cell finally decides to divide when it produces a sister cell or a daughter cell that next cell will have more receptor sites for those particular emotional neuropeptides and less receptor sites for vitamins, minerals, nutrients, fluid exchange or even the release of waste products or toxins. Now, all aging is the result of improper protein production. What happens when we age? Our skin loses elasticity. Well, elastin is a protein.What happens to our enzymes? We don't digest as well. What happens to our synovial fluid? Those are proteins tha tbecome brittle and stiff.What happens to our bones? They become thin.
So all aging is a result of improper protein production. Nutrition can only do so much if the cell doesn't even have the receptor sites after years of emotional abuse to even receive, or to let in the nutrients that are necessary for its health. From what seems like simple emotional patterns, personal characteristics that we classify as "us", our conditioning runs deep and inevitably impacts our quality and length of life on this globe. If you practice mindfulness, sensitivity and cultivation and open your eyes to the chemical desire for drama and victimization you can free yourself of prison that limits your life. The bars to this prison are invisible, and we do not see its walls. We have a set amount of options in consumption and entertainment that our rulers place before us so we feel we exercise freedom to choose, but the truth is just the opposite. Freedom comes when we stop responding to the world and life and start acting out of experience and choice.
Not many people know what it is like to spend a day outside the daily recreated sufferings, drama and conflict we maintain for ourselves. We respond to the world through a thick layer of predictive programming and emotional dependency. When emotions are dominate, the mind is in control and the senses are dead. We lose the sense that we are connected to others and our environment. We should learn to become sensitive to subtly. Their actions in life are often very habitual, programmed, and reactive to forces outside of them. In other words, their lives are ruled by forces beyond them, and not by a true inner self or spirit.
This is why people have all sorts of addictions (to junk food, tobacco, alcohol, drugs, gambling, sex, money, and so on). People respond to all kinds of influences from outside themselves, but remain disconnected from within. And, the busier they are, the less likely they even try to connect with the Supreme Ultimate spiritual source. They are connected as if by strings to everything else. If we are angry at someone else, we are dependent on them to guide our emotional responses, this is why we cannot stop being angry. We are weak and are deeply subjugated by others, so we suffer. In order to be free and not respond to the whim of emotional flareups we have to face our own shadow.You experience the world through your five primary senses; visual, auditory, tactile, olfactory, and gustatory. But you do not take in these impressions directly as they are. They pass through multiple filters, colored and often distorted by your interpretations, expectations, beliefs, associations, fears, desires and opinions. You also perceive through cultural, religious, professional, educational, and gender filters created by your own unique experiences.
Our perspectives are always colored by the experiences that we've had, and an emotional response that we're having to what we're bringing in. Who is in the driver's seat when we control our emotions or we respond to our emotions? The body is a protein-producing machine. In the hypothalamus, we take small-chain proteins called peptides and we assemble them into certain neuropeptides or neurohormones that match the emotional states that we experience on a daily basis. So there's chemicals for anger, and there's chemicals for sadness and there's chemicals for victimization. There's chemicals for lust. There's a chemical that matches every emotional state that we experience.
And the moment that we experience that emotional state in our body or in our brain that hypothalamus will immediately assemble the peptide and then releases it through the pituitary into the bloodstream. The moment it makes it into the bloodstream it finds its way to different centers or different parts of the body.Now, every single cell in the body has these receptors on the outside. Now one cell can have thousands of receptors studding its surface, kind of opening up to the outside world. And when a peptide docks on a cell it literally,like a key going into a lock sits on the receptor surface and attaches to it and kind of moves the receptor.
What happens in adulthood is that most of us who've had our glitches along the way are operating in an emotionally detached place or we're operating as if today were yesterday. In either the disconnected place or the overly emotional reactive place they've gone to an earlier time in reality. We bring to ourselves situations that will fulfill the biochemical craving of the cells of our body by creating situations that meet our chemical needs. "It always happens to me", "Every day!"," Why me?",And the addict will always need a little bit more in order to get a rush or a high of what they're looking for chemically."Don't tell me to calm down!","You're always bossing me around."
So my definition really means that if you can't control your emotional state you must be addicted to it. So how can anyone really say they're in love with a specific person? For example: They're only in love with the anticipation of the emotions they're addicted to. Because the same person could fall out of favor the next week by not complying. My goodness, doesn't that change the landscape of our emotional outlook on personal needs and identities? We are emotions and emotions are us.
Again I can't separate emotions. When you consider that, every aspect of your digestion every sphincter that opens and closes every group of cells that come in for nourishment and then moves out to heal something or repair something--Those are all under the influence of the molecules of emotion. So you ask if emotions are bad. Emotions are not bad. They're life. Heroin uses the same receptor mechanisms on the cells that our emotional chemicals use. It's easy to see then that if we can be addicted to heroin then we can be addicted to any neural peptide, any emotion. The relevant search command that's going on is related to finding a certain emotional state. I mean, we can't even direct our eyes without having an emotional aspect to it.
If we're bombarding the cell with the same attitude and the same chemistry over and over again on a daily basis when that cell finally decides to divide when it produces a sister cell or a daughter cell that next cell will have more receptor sites for those particular emotional neuropeptides and less receptor sites for vitamins, minerals, nutrients, fluid exchange or even the release of waste products or toxins. Now, all aging is the result of improper protein production. What happens when we age? Our skin loses elasticity. Well, elastin is a protein.What happens to our enzymes? We don't digest as well. What happens to our synovial fluid? Those are proteins tha tbecome brittle and stiff.What happens to our bones? They become thin.
So all aging is a result of improper protein production. Nutrition can only do so much if the cell doesn't even have the receptor sites after years of emotional abuse to even receive, or to let in the nutrients that are necessary for its health.

Creative visualization
First an exercise to introduce the power of imagination: Look at your self in the mirror and tell your saliva glands to fill your mouth with saliva. How did that go? Now, close your eyes and focus very hard on the saltiest food you can think of. If your concentration is strong you should have produced saliva. To some, the imagination is like day dreaming and while day dreaming does have its place, it does not have the power & thrust of vivid mental pictures that have been written, produced and directed by your mind with you as the star. Imagination is the ability to create an idea or mental picture in your mind. In creative visualization, you use your imagination to create a clear image of a goal.
Science has discovered that the human brain does not know the difference between what it sees in its environment and what it remembers. The same activity is happening in the brain, at all times a matter of fact. This is how the eyes filter the the images we see before us and shape them into recognizable patterns- a result of our associative memory.
Take a moment to think about a time in your life where the thought of a future event excited and enlivened you. Think about how you felt, how you went through that day and felt more aware, more alive and happy. What if that desire was unfulfilled? Where do the feelings go? Nothing gave you those feelings, they were already inside of you. Though it seems to the contrary, we are not dependent on outer circumstances to generate feelings. The conscious mind believes people and situations make us feel, but this is not true. Your outer circumstances are complimentary to your inner circumstances.
When we realize we are in the driver seat and responsible for our own emotions, we can begin being creative and learn to discipline our minds to create outcomes in our lives. The association you might have to the word "create" might be a little out of date, keep in mind to create through visualization one must actually go with the flow, surrender and work with governing universal laws. There are principles to creative responsibility.
In order to understand creative visualization, lets look at several interrelated principles:
*The physical universe is energy: The physical world we live in is composed of sub-atomic levels, seemingly solid matter is seen smaller and smaller particles within particles, which eventually turn out to be just pure energy.
*Energy is magnetic: An immutable law of energy states that energy of a certain quality or vibration tends to attract energy of a similar quality & vibration. Thought and feeling have their own magnetic energy which attracts energy of a similar nature.
*Form follows idea:To create, thought comes first. Philosophically speaking, if we are to believe that God or a divine force created all of life, this God had to think of us first. Thought is the ground floor of being and the connecting force in consciousness. Understand that thoughts held long in consciousness pass into the subconscious where you will begin to open to and manifest situations in your life that resonate with your held thoughts.
*The law of radiation & attraction: This is the principle that whatever you put into the universe will be reflected back to you. As you sow so shall you reap. What this means from a practical standpoint is that we always attract into our lives whatever we think. Whether we fear something, hate something or love something we will experience what the mind holds in focus the most. Are you paying attention to what you life gives you daily?
*The law of subjective attention: The brain is a dual instrument & in its functioning is divided into objective and subjective or subconscious phases. The objective attunes with the external world, while the subjective is the seat of all manifestations. The more you plant seeds in your subconscious, the more these seeds with turn from thoughts to physical situations in your life.
To use creative visualization you have to change how you feel and perceive your thoughts. Learn the difference between half conscious fantasies and a cultivated imagination. One technique I learned years ago which helps with this is called journeying. We take time to sit with our eyes closed and be in control of where our imagination goes. You can discover places within yourself that bring about feelings, sensation or even insight. These "worlds" as they are called can become places of power where phenomenon happens. The mind can let go, and we can connect with our true self; the inner guide that is the source of our natural knowing and understanding.
Science and psychology have shown the relationship between our imagination or "self image" and our happiness. We now know that we can release powerful chemicals in the body and even aid the body in healing simply through visualization. If you are to technically define reality as it is perceived and filtered in the brain, you might be surprised that there is no difference between your imagination and what you believe to be the physical world.
When you are working at a goal, any struggle you encounter will be a reflection of a deeper state of your own consciousness. Perhaps we see only what we wish to see and not the whole picture. Maybe we are being selfish, foolish or myopic in our efforts and life is only giving us what we hold deep down; energy that is stagnant and not outflowing. In order to utilize cultivated imagination you have to outflow or give. You can plant as many seeds as you want but if you don't learn to tend to the soil and nurture the seeds growth you will have nothing. Outflowing is another way of learning to go with the flow. We don't create goals because we have desires rooted in caused happiness. We have clear outcomes from the wisdom gained through past experiences that help shape the world we seek to create for ourselves. And going with the flow will naturally help us move around obstacles and take the potential that reveals itself to us, rather than push against life and make our demands.
Visualization techniques are not for the sake of visualizing. Visualization is used to reach a state of void in though, to enter a meditative state, and be aware of the union that is the human cosmos. When visualizing, one condenses thoughts by concentrating on one visualization to eliminate all other thoughts. Once all scattering thoughts are stopped, the visualize void: void body, void mind, everything void. These techniques are widely used by many cultures; Tantric Buddhist Qigong, Yoga Pranayama, Kuji Kiri, Taoist practices, Western magick systems, Native American spirituality, and in Christianity St. Ignatius Loyola's "Spiritual exercises."
