If it needs re-enforcing, here is the main medical message all over again: don’t smoke and live a healthy lifestyle! If you don’t smoke, you’ll live longer and are less likely to die of heart disease and cancer. We all know that (yawn…) But if you are a non-smoker or gave up smoking, a good […]

I have been meaning for some time now to write a book with an overview of all dieting (weight-loss) methods. It seems to me that I am uniquely suited to do it, since I don’t sell or push any particular methods. Plus, I have a far deeper insight into the complex role that foods play […]

My regular friends (readers) will know I often denounce calcium in no uncertain terms. While other doctors dole it out as necessary or “advisable”, I have been in print many times to say calcium is the last thing you want much of in your body. Stupid (I mean REALLY stupid) science supposedly showing that osteoporosis is caused by lack of calcium and all you have to do is pump calcium into the blood and the bones will magically fill up again and go hard is as crazy as it sounds! Osteoporosis, as a matter of fact, is caused by a number of things, none of which are lack of calcium! Magnesium deficiency is a much more significant contributor. But really, osteoporosis is a whole-body nutritional disease, with no one single factor to blame. If it could be boiled down to just one substance, then I think I would pick on boron. Women taking 3 mgs a day of boron need never fear osteoporosis (unless it is already present). But calcium deficiency? Definitely NOT. Yet doctors go on pumping this stuff into trusting patients, in blyth disregard of the fact that in almost all other situations, calcium is dangerous! Seriously!

I’m not against vaccination, as regular readers will know. I’m just against useless and dangerous vaccination. Even dangerous vaccines, such as that for rabies, have a place, where the disease is hideous and the protection worth the risk. The rabies vaccine does work! If you want to know what hydrophobia looks like (terror of water; one of the symptoms of rabies, see this short video on YouTube: But what about mumps? Hardly a deadly disease in fit children. The worrisome complication is orchitis (inflamed testicles), which can lead to male sterility. Then, the vaccine isn’t notorious (like measles, pertussis and flu). But what’s the point if it doesn’t work? A recent study published in The New England Journal of Medicine (NEJM) reveals that a large proportion of children affected by a mumps outbreak in 2009 had already been vaccinated for the condition in accordance with recommended government guidelines.

Tamiflu Scam – 2 Despite the fact that it is hazardous and there is no reliable scientific evidence that Tamiflu has any benefits whatever, the creeps at the FDA are now saying children as young as 2 weeks old may now be treated for the flu with Tamiflu. This isn’t bad science; this is criminal intrigue. We need some jail time for these birds. The FDA expanded its approval today for Tamiflu to include infants under age 1 who have had symptoms of the flu, such as stuffy nose, cough, sore throat, fever, and body aches, for no longer than two days. At least they are not saying it can prevent flu infection in this age group. Of course, it does no good in any age group.

We all know that Tamiflu is a scam. But we are so used to these things being criminally hushed-up, that it comes as quite a shock when one of the world’s leading medical journals accuses Roche of massaging data to make their drug look effective when it isn’t. The British Medical Journal (BMJ) has alleged that pharmaceutical giant Roche is deliberately hiding clinical trial data about the efficacy of Tamiflu in patients with influenza. According to experts writing for the BMJ, global stockpiling and routine use of the drug are not supported by solid evidence [meaning it’s worthless and doesn’t work]. Moreover, the BMJ openly accuses Roche of concealing neurological and psychiatric adverse events caused by Tamiflu. In an open letter published online October 29th, Fiona Godlee, MD, editor-in-chief of BMJ, writing to Dr. John Bell, Professor of Medicine at Oxford University and a Roche board member, told him of concerns that surfaced years ago about the reliability of Tamiflu research.
