Oct.10.11-FDA Finally Admits Chicken Meat Contains Cancer-Causing Arsenic!

Mike Adams, the Health Ranger, NaturalNews Editor

(NaturalNews) After years of sweeping the issue under the rug and hoping no one would notice, the FDA has now finally admitted that chicken meat sold in the USA contains arsenic, a cancer-causing toxic chemical that’s fatal in high doses. But the real story is where this arsenic comes from: It’s added to the chicken feed on purpose!

Even worse, the FDA says its own research shows that the arsenic added to the chicken feed ends up in the chicken meat where it is consumed by humans. So for the last sixty years, American consumers who eat conventional chicken have been swallowing arsenic, a known cancer-causing chemical. (http://www.phillyburbs.com/news/loc…)

Until this new study, both the poultry industry and the FDA denied that arsenic fed to chickens ended up in their meat. The fairytale excuse story we’ve all been fed for sixty years is that “the arsenic is excreted in the chicken feces.” There’s no scientific basis for making such a claim… it’s just what the poultry industry wanted everybody to believe.

But now the evidence is so undeniable that the manufacturer of the chicken feed product known as Roxarsone has decided to pull the product off the shelves (http://www.grist.org/food-safety/20…). And what’s the name of this manufacturer that has been putting arsenic in the chicken feed for all these years? Pfizer, of course — the very same company that makes vaccines containing chemical adjuvants that are injected into children.

Technically, the company making the Roxarsone chicken feed is a subsidiary of Pfizer, called Alpharma LLC. Even though Alpharma now has agreed to pull this toxic feed chemical off the shelves in the United States, it says it won’t necessarily remove it from feed products in other countries unless it is forced by regulators to do so. As reported by AP:

“Scott Brown of Pfizer Animal Health’s Veterinary Medicine Research and Development division said the company also sells the ingredient in about a dozen other countries. He said Pfizer is reaching out to regulatory authorities in those countries and will decide whether to sell it on an individual basis.” (http://www.usatoday.com/money/indus…)

Arsenic? Eat more!

But even as its arsenic-containing product is pulled off the shelves, the FDA continues its campaign of denial, claiming arsenic in chickens is at such a low level that it’s still safe to eat. This is even as the FDA says arsenic is a carcinogen, meaning it increases the risk of cancer.

The National Chicken Council agrees with the FDA. In a statement issued in response to the news that Roxarsone would be pulled from feed store shelves, it stated, “Chicken is safe to eat” even while admitting arsenic was used in many flocks grown and sold as chicken meat in the United States.

What’s astonishing about all this is that the FDA tells consumers it’s safe to eat cancer-causing arsenic but it’s dangerous to drink elderberry juice! The FDA recently conducted an armed raid in an elderberry juice manufacturer, accusing it of the “crime” of selling “unapproved drugs.” (http://www.naturalnews.com/032631_e…) Which drugs would those be? The elderberry juice, explains the FDA. You see, the elderberry juice magically becomes a “drug” if you tell people how it can help support good health.

The FDA has also gone after dozens of other companies for selling natural herbal products or nutritional products that enhance and support health. Plus, it’s waging a war on raw milk which it says is dangerous. So now in America, we have a food and drug regulatory agency that says it’s okay to eat arsenic, but dangerous to drink elderberry juice or raw milk.

Eat more poison, in other words, but don’t consume any healing foods. That’s the FDA, killing off Americans one meal at a time while protecting the profits of the very companies that are poisoning us with their deadly ingredients.

Oh, by the way, here’s another sweet little disturbing fact you probably didn’t know about hamburgers and conventional beef: Chicken litter containing arsenic is fed to cows in factory beef operations. So the arsenic that’s pooped out by the chickens gets consumed and concentrated in the tissues of cows, which is then ground into hamburger to be consumed by the clueless masses who don’t even know they’re eating second-hand chicken sh*t.

Jul 14.11-TSA Cancer Clusters

Claim: TSA Employees Developing Cancer Clusters from Standing Near Body Scanner Machines

by Mike Adams, the Health Ranger, NaturalNews Editor

(NaturalNews) In a new twist to the TSA saga to which we can only say, “We told ya so,” the Electronic Privacy Information Center (EPIC) has obtained documents through the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) that reveal TSA employees are reporting “cancer clusters” among their own employees who work near radiation body scanners. At the same time, DHS refuses to issue dosimeters to TSA employees because, obviously, those dosimeters would indicate alarming levels of radiation exposure. So it’s better to just keep everyone ignorant and keep irradiating all the TSA employees and hope nobody notices, apparently.


That TSA employees are giving themselves cancer by irradiating innocent travelers is perhaps the most striking bit of tragic justice we’ve yet seen in this entire fiasco. TSA agents commit felony crimes every single day against innocent travelers, molesting them, illegally detaining them and humiliating them as part of the “security screening” procedures. They’re also irradiating them with the naked body scanners that we all know Janet Napolitano openly lied about (http://www.naturalnews.com/032839_b…). As a side effect of that irradiation effort, TSA employees are also irradiating themselves. Cancer, not surprisingly, will not be far behind.

By the way, the best and most timely reporting on this subject is currently coming from Paul Joseph Watson at PrisonPlanet.com, who, together with Alex Jones leading the protests, has been hammering both the TSA and the Texas legislature over these criminal pat-downs (http://www.prisonplanet.com/cancer-…). In an age where nearly all mainstream journalism is little more than comedic shilling for Big Government, it’s refreshing to know that people like Watson are still pursuing the role of honest journalism that questions government’s lies (as in the Nixon era).

Napolitano Lied about Safety of Body Scanners

Why are the body scanners causing cancer clusters among TSA employees? As we reported yesterday, Janet Napolitano lied about the safety of the devices, claiming that NIST had “affirmed the safety” of them. NIST fired back an email that specifically explained NIST doesn’t test the safety of products at all! Ever! Therefore, all the claims that these devices were tested and confirmed as safe was complete B.S. from Napolitano. Just an outright lie. Not a shred of truth to be found.

You see, when government has abandoned the truth as a matter of policy, it can only resort to lies to further its agenda. The truth no longer has any place in the U.S. government, where criminals and thugs simply make up whatever lies they want and then pass them off as “truth” to the press (which dutifully reports all government lies as truths). This is precisely the case with the TSA and these naked body scanners. It’s also the situation with the economy, the unemployment rate and the national debt, if you follow economic news. The American empire has become what the Roman Empire was right before its fall: A tragic cabal of professional thieves and liars who run the government and steal from the People.

TSA Employees Fry Their Own Genitals with Radiation

Now, even though the NIST did not test the safety of these machines, it did warn airport screeners to avoid standing next to them because the machines clearly emitted doses of radiation that could mutate DNA and cause cancer.

The bulk of TSA employees, who we’ve already established are among the most intellectually-challenged individuals which are still somehow employable, don’t seem to care that they’re getting fried with radiation every day on the job. In fact, many TSA employees don’t even understand the laws of physics, as has been demonstrated over and over when they tell travelers truly idiotic things like, “There’s no radiation from these machines.” (True story. This is what one of our contributing writers was told by a TSA agent in Denver.)

Gee, how do they think the machines work? Do they think they’re magic? Who needs radiation when you can just use magic to see through people!

The one notable upshot from all this is the realization that TSA agents might experience so much DNA damage from standing next to those machines that they will be rendered completely infertile and therefore have no ability to reproduce. This, the scientists say, is called “natural selection.” Those best adapted to surviving will pass on their genes to the next generation, while those who fail to protect the integrity of their own DNA get removed from the human gene pool. I can’t think of a more appropriate example of natural selection in action. Darwin eats TSA agents as a mid-morning snack, it seems. So maybe those radiation machines do have a purpose after all…

All kidding aside, there’s a kind of poetic justice in the idea that these agents who terrorize innocents will one day find themselves on the receiving end of a chemotherapy drip. It’s not that we wish suffering upon anyone, but this is a suffering they have brought upon themselves. At what point, I wonder, will the cancer-stricken TSA employees finally figure out the government is lying to THEM, too?

That’s a realization shared by many veterans who sign up for military service with all sorts of patriotic enthusiasm and then one day realize the government has stolen their health benefits and abandoned their needs. Such is the result of naive faith in a government that couldn’t care less about the people it claims to serve. Well, heck, I’m not even sure the government continues that “serving the people” cover story anymore. Now, the government openly claims to be the supreme power over the servant people.

June 27.11-WHO: Cell Phone Use Can Increase Possible Cancer Risk

  • NEW: Experts say there are ways to minimize cell phone radiation

  • It’s in the same “hazard” category as lead, engine exhaust and chloroform

  • Until now, WHO has said no adverse health effects have been established

  • The cell phone industry maintains that there is no conclusive evidence of danger

(CNN) — Radiation from cell phones can possibly cause cancer, according to the World Health Organization. The agency now lists mobile phone use in the same “carcinogenic hazard” category as lead, engine exhaust and chloroform.

Before its announcement Tuesday, WHO had assured consumers that no adverse health effects had been established.

A team of 31 scientists from 14 countries, including the United States, made the decision after reviewing peer-reviewed studies on cell phone safety. The team found enough evidence to categorize personal exposure as “possibly carcinogenic to humans.”

What that means is they found some evidence of increase in glioma and acoustic neuroma brain cancer for mobile phone users, but have not been able to draw conclusions for other types of cancers. “The biggest problem we have is that we know most environmental factors take several decades of exposure before we really see the consequences,” said Dr. Keith Black, chairman of neurology at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles.

 

The type of radiation coming out of a cell phone is called non-ionizing. It is not like an X-ray, but more like a very low-powered microwave oven. “What microwave radiation does in most simplistic terms is similar to what happens to food in microwaves, essentially cooking the brain,” Black said. “So in addition to leading to a development of cancer and tumors, there could be a whole host of other effects like cognitive memory function, since the memory temporal lobes are where we hold our cell phones.”

 

Wireless industry responded to Tuesday’s announcement saying it “does not mean cell phones cause cancer.” CTIA-The Wireless Association added that WHO researchers “did not conduct any new research, but rather reviewed published studies.”

 

The European Environmental Agency has pushed for more studies, saying cell phones could be as big a public health risk as smoking, asbestos and leaded gasoline. The head of a prominent cancer-research institute at the University of Pittsburgh sent a memo to all employees urging them to limit cell phone use because of a possible risk of cancer. “When you look at cancer development — particularly brain cancer — it takes a long time to develop. I think it is a good idea to give the public some sort of warning that long-term exposure to radiation from your cell phone could possibly cause cancer,” said Dr. Henry Lai, research professor in bioengineering at University of Washington who has studied radiation for more than 30 years.

Results from the largest international study on cell phones and cancer was released in 2010. It showed participants in the study who used a cell phone for 10 years or more had doubled the rate of brain glioma, a type of tumor. To date, there have been no long-term studies on the effects of cell phone usage among children.

 

“Children’s skulls and scalps are thinner. So the radiation can penetrate deeper into the brain of children and young adults. Their cells are at a dividing faster rate, so the impact of radiation can be much larger.” said Black of Cedars-Sinai Medical Center.

 

In February, a study by researchers at the National Institutes of Health, revealed radiation emitted after just 50 minutes on a mobile phone increases the activity in brain cells. The effects of brain activity being artificially stimulated are still unknown. Neurosurgeon and CNN chief medical correspondent Dr. Sanjay Gupta says Tuesday’s announcement, “dealt a blow to those who have long said, ‘There is no possible mechanism for cell phones to cause cancer.’ By classifying cell phones as a possible carcinogen, they also seem to be tacitly admitting a mechanism could exist.”

 

Manufacturers of many popular cell phones already warn consumers to keep their device away from their body and medical experts say there other ways to minimize cell phone radiation. The Apple iPhone 4 safety manual says users’ radiation exposure should not exceed FCC guidelines: “When using iPhone near your body for voice calls or for wireless data transmission over a cellular network, keep iPhone at least 15 millimeters (5/8 inch) away from the body.” BlackBerry Bold advises users to “keep the BlackBerry device at least 0.98 inch (25 millimeters) from your body when the BlackBerry device is transmitting.”

The logic behind such recommendations is that the further the phone is from the body, the less radiation is absorbed. Users can also use the speakerphone function or a wired earpiece to gain some distance.

Users can text instead of talk if they want to keep the phone away from their faces.

Finally, cell phones emit the most radiation when they are attempting to connect to cellular towers. A moving phone, or a phone in an area with a weak signal, has to work harder, giving of more radiation. So users can avoid using their cell phones in elevators, buildings and rural areas if they want to reduce their exposure, experts say.

May 16.11-Studies show drinking coffee may reduce risk of breast cancer

Studies show drinking coffee may reduce risk of breast cancer
by S. L. Baker, features writer

Breast cancer is a serious concern for women. According to the National Cancer Institute, the disease took about 50,000 lives last year in the U.S. alone. But the mainstream media, as well as mainstream medicine, often treat breast cancer as something that strikes out of the blue — giving women no choice but to hope they are not one of the “unlucky” ones to get breast cancer. At the same time this subjects women to to mammography so a malignancy can be spotted early, despite the fact the actual radiation exposure associated with mammograms is known to raise the risk of breast cancer in some women (http://www.naturalnews.com/024901.html).

But here’s good news. Scientists studying natural compounds in plants are finding many may offer some level of protection against breast cancer. That means women can start taking control of their breast cancer risk by paying attention to what they eat and drink. In detailed research just published in BioMed Central’s open access journal Breast Cancer Research, scientists from Sweden’s prestigious Karolinska Institute present compelling evidence that something in coffee slashes the risk of breast cancer.

The new study concludes that drinking coffee specifically reduces the risk of what researchers call anti-estrogen-resistant estrogen-receptor (ER) negative breast cancer, dubbed ER-negative breast cancer for short.

The Sweden research team compared lifestyle factors and coffee consumption between women with breast cancer and women the same age that did not have any breast malignancies. It turns out that coffee drinkers had a far lower incidence of breast cancer overall than women who rarely drank coffee.

Delving further into the impact of coffee, the scientists looked at several lifestyle factors that affect breast cancer rates, including age at menopause, exercise, weight, education, and a family history of breast cancer. Once they had adjusted their data to account for all of these factors, they found that the protective effect of coffee on breast cancer zeroed on one type of the disease — the ER-negative breast cancer.

Although the evidence appears strong that coffee has beneficial effects in protecting women from ER-negative breast cancer, it’s not clear just what the mechanism and compounds involved are. The researchers noted in a statement to the media that the protection from coffee may be due to way the coffee is prepared, or perhaps the type of coffee bean used.

Bottom line: as NaturalNews has reported previously, the new coffee study is the latest in a growing body of scientific data showing that natural substances are formidable weapons to both prevent various types of breast cancer and even halt cancerous growth once cells are malignant.

For example, in a study published in the journal Crop Science, Colorado State University scientists studied the anti-cancer activity of six kinds of dry legumes and found consumption of every kind of bean reduced the incidence of cancer and tumors in animal models (http://www.naturalnews.com/025614_c…).

In addition, Elaine Hardman, PhD, associate professor of medicine at Marshall University School of Medicine, gives this advice to women based on her cancer research: eat more walnuts. Her research strongly suggests those nuts can substantially reduce the risk of breast cancer (http://www.naturalnews.com/026115_w…).

March  2011
Dear AFC Patients,
Thousands of medical reports have been examined, the numbers have been tallied, and the conclusion is sobering: the American medical system is the leading cause of death and injury in the United States.   The medical profession and the media have always claimed that the leading causes of death, for both men and women, are heart disease and cancer. Records show us that in 2001 cancer claimed 553,251 lives, with heart disease in the lead with 699,697 attributed deaths. But when medical reports were more closely examined, analysts found that 783,936 deaths—in a single year–were directly related to medical care misdiagnosis and carelessness.
Never before has a complete overview of the medical field been examined where medicine related deaths have been combined and totaled. Here are some of the horrific results derived from a one-year period:
·    Adverse Drug Reactions: 106,000 people dead with $12 billion in expenses.
·    Medical errors: 98,000 dead with $2 billion in expenses.
·    Bedsores leading to other complications: 115,000 dead with $55 billion in expenses.
·    Hospital acquired infections: 88,000 dead with $5 billion in expenses.
·    Outpatient mishaps: 199,000 people dead with $77 billion in expenses.
·    Unnecessary Procedures: 37,136 people dead with$122 billion in expenses.
·    Surgery-Related complications: 32,000 people dead with $9 billion in expenses.
Robert, what our healthcare system doesn’t tell you is that the human body is a powerful entity, designed to heal itself during times of illness or disorder. The spine plays a very important role in this process. If spinal vertebrae are misaligned, malfunctions and health disorders can arise. That’s why it’s so important to receive regular chiropractic adjustments.   More importantly, chiropractic adjustments are safe and involve no medicine or radical invasive procedures. In fact, it’s one of the safest and healthiest forms of care available. If you are dealing with a health problem, or are just feeling ‘under the weather’, consider chiropractic care before you put your life in the hands of the number one killer in America.

Oct.14.10-Cancer Groups Ignore Chemicals

Cancer groups ignore chemicals, food additives as culprits in disease

(NaturalNews) October is breast cancer awareness month, which means pink ribbons and literature about getting mammograms litter the landscape even more than they normally do during the rest of the year. But many women who have survived the disease are questioning the role environmental chemicals play in contributing to breast cancer, and wondering why groups like Susan G. Komen for the Cure and the American Cancer Society (ACS) — groups that claim to be doing everything possible to find a cure — have nothing to say about it.

According to a recent USA Today article, ACS estimates that roughly six percent of all cancer deaths — or 34,000 of those who die every year — are caused by environmental pollutants. Yet these same groups never inform women about what these pollutants are and how they can avoid them, and most doctors do not share this information with their patients, either.

For instance, a 2006 study in the journal Chemistry & Biology found a link between the plastic chemical bisphenol-A (BPA) and #  — and many studies since then have linked BPA to cancer and other diseases — but federal regulators continue to drag their feet on the issue, insisting that the chemical is safe (http://www.naturalnews.com/020181.html).

Fluoridated water, food additives, chemical pesticides and even mammograms themselves — just to name a few — are all linked to causing cancer, and yet none of this information is provided to women.

The President’s Cancer Panel (PCP) issued a report back in May that highlighted a whole slew of cancer-causing and endocrine-disrupting chemicals in many consumer products, urging officials to protect the public from the “grievous harm” caused by them. You can read the entire report here:

http://deainfo.nci.nih.gov/advisory…

According to Julia Brody of the Silent Spring Institute, an advocacy group that studies breast cancer and the environment, there are at least 200 known chemicals that studies have shown are linked to breast cancer, and women can be proactive in avoiding them right now. You can view the list of chemicals at: http://sciencereview.silentspring.o…
