With diabetes rates soaring (in the US, the incidence increased by 23% in the 10 years leading up to 2005), the prevalence (that is, the number of people living with the disease) went up 62% in the same period. It’s just been announced that diabetes-related medical and economic costs in the United States hit $174 billion in 2007, a 32% increase from 2002. Well, too much refined carbohydrate and sugar is the number one reason, no question. But the huge coffee intake in the US may also be a factor. Some studies have shown that coffee may protect against wild swings in blood sugar, but caffeine is not the reason. Separating caffeine from coffee means it still sends the blood sugar wild. Better to drink decaffed, says a new report: [Lane, J.D. Diabetes Care, February 2008; vol 31, manuscript received ahead of publication.]

One of the agonizing consequences of birth can be cerebral palsy. This is particularly liable to occur with clumsy-handed interventions by obstetricians, especially forceps delivery, but often happens due to mechanical difficulties: if you’ve ever seen the deformation of the fetal head needed to get it down the vagina, you would gasp in amazement.

A recent study has once again tackled the issue of thimerosal (ethyl mercury) in mercury causing autism in children. [it’s called Thiomersal in the rest of the world]. I have to tell you it found no connection and I consider the science behind this latest study and its findings to be very sound. Despite what Joe Mercola thinks and what untrained enthusiasts like Mike Adams (The self-styled “Health Ranger”) have to say, there is no link between the two and I have never believed there was. That’s not to say that vaccination does not cause autism: it does (more of that in a minute). It is also not to say that mercury isn’t a deadly poison; it is. But the hysteria surrounding mercury thimerosal has distracted from the truth of the issues and I think it’s time I spoke out clearly. FIRST: I have documented cases of a second sibling to an autistic child who did NOT get vaccinated and yet the second child developed autism. This is difficult to explain on the mercury causation theory. SECOND: we haven’t had thimerosal in vaccines here in California for several years and yet the autism rate has not dropped. To me this is pretty damning to the “mercury theory.” Now I do believe that vaccination is a major cause of autism spectrum disorder, if not THE cause. Why do I believe that? Too many cases of children degenerating immediately after vaccines. I was on TV, radio and in the newspapers giving this out in the 1980s. I knew it then and I know it’s true now. But how? Measles (primarily). Measles disease is deadly because it causes a severe encephalitis (brain inflammation). I think the attenuated vaccine does the same thing. The measles (as MMR vaccine) doesn’t stop measles but gives a weird mutation of the disease, complete with low-grade encephalitis, which causes sufficient brain damage to lead to autism. Don’t forget the work of Dr Andrew Wakefield, who found live measles virus rampant in the gut and tissues of autistic children. He was “discredited” (they had to do that). Wakefield was accused of financial interests (as if the drug companies are somehow above that!) BUT THEY NEVER DISPROVED HIS FINDINGS. They can’t. All that the hue and cry achieved was to stop people paying any attention to what he found. Live rogue measles rampant in the bodies of little children is bad news and I name it as THE cause of autism. Only time will tell if I’m right. But it will explain why a sibling can get autism – infection by the same organism, transmitted from the sibling by simple contagion. Now, I’ve got that off my chest, you can read the details of the article below:

We can never get too much data and assurance about healthy eating. Now a study puts Atkins back in poll position, despite endless attempts to try and dislodge him. As I have said elsewhere, the diet is not “his”; what he advocates has been around since the 19th century and William Banting, later known as the RAF Diet and was also featured in Richard Mackaness’ 1960s book “Eat Fat and Grow Slim”. But it’s good to see that so many studies support a low carb, high fat diet. This is what man traditionally ate and was very healthy. The latest study appeared in January 1, 2008 issue of the Journal of the American College of Cardiology. The Atkins diet raised good HDL cholesterol and lowered “bad” triglycerides more than the other diet.

 Healing devices revealed! I’ve started a new blog for healing devices and healing machines. It’s early days but you can watch it grow. Obviously the first devices are the Russian SCENAR and the voice re-patterning Vo-Cal, since I’m known for these two. You can check it out here: www.healing-devices.com
