Originally published in the article The House That Aids Built, the story was subsequently carried by The New York Press with the title: Orphans on Trial. Children refusing medication were surgically implanted a tube to allow direct injection of drugs into the stomach - Image: Altheal.org In November that same year, the BBC broadcast a video on the Incarnation story: Guinea Pig Kids. The video is available from this page, and here is a transcript (PDF). Nevertheless, in what appears...

Can governments prevent access to certain sites? Perhaps there is an alternative in the making. Hundreds of municipalities are recognizing that facilitating internet access is part of their responsibility towards citizens, and they are planning to bypass traditional internet access providers, opening access to the net in a more direct way. According to an article of DMeurope.com, over 400 cities world wide are currently planning to deploy broadband networks in their areas, and 2006 should see a doubling of the numbers. Rome, along with New York, San Francisco and Paris, is among the major cities planning to provide citizens and visitors with...

Certainly if instead of watching CNN, ABC, CBS and other so-called mainstream media you looked around for the real news that populates the 'net, there is hardly room for doubt, and there wasn't, even back in 2001. Perhaps whatreallyhappened.com was and still is one of the best sites that pulls together stories that do not receive the deserved attention because of suppression of the real news by corporate-owned media. No wonder the feeling that the press cannot be trusted to give us the straight dope is getting kind of ubiquitous. Probably the greatest mystery to people...

It is not by chance that the pharma-dominated medical system has become the leading cause of death and suffering in the U.S. and perhaps in the whole Western World. Le Carre's novel has now been turned into a movie, which is hitting the theaters in these days.

Pharma Sepp Hasslberger Mon, 5 Sep 2005 16:20:47 GMT http://www.newmediaexplorer.org/sepp/2005/06/30/live8_lockstep_into_aids_catastrophe.htm An article by Peter Barry Chowka caught my attention. Titled "Warning: Don't Be Hoodwinked As The Biggest HIV/AIDS Hype Yet Gets Ready To Roll", the piece refers to the upcoming series of concerts termed Live8. Chowka says the concerts, organized to pressure the G8 nations into canceling some of the African nations' debts and into reforming development aid, will be a huge propaganda coup for the international HIV/AIDS medical-pharmaceutical-industrial complex. With the major push in AIDS treatment being the sale of antiretroviral drugs, which are known to often kill the patient rather than cure the disease, as Chowka puts it, the direction of the drive may be right into catastrophe. He says: Incredibly, the conventional war on...

Medicines regulation could crush the supplements industry and make many safe food-based health products unavailable to those using them. Dr. Andrew Saul of www.doctoryourself.com made a presentation to the Canadian House of Commons Standing Committee on Health, which is considering Bill C 420.

Looking at the actual statistics (see graphic) we find that the virus has infected only eight people - causing no deaths - among New Zealanders living in the Bay of Plenty area in 2004 and that the number of cases has been on a steep downtrend for two years. This is in sharp contrast with the ministry's public statements. Ron Law, an independent risk and policy analyst, charges that the ministry is dishonest in its promotion of the vaccine with fear tactics....

The media treated us to stories of seniors standing in line for hours to "get the flu shot". What they did not say was that the flu is nowhere near as dangerous as they told us previously. Who has not heard of the "36,000 flu related deaths" every year that were brought to our attention every time it was time to "get the shot"? Well, it appears that these deaths were so much scare mongering, arguably planted in the media to make people bare their arms for...

Cancer, respiratory diseases and horrible birth defects have been widespread in Iraq even after Gulf War I and are bound to increase. While officially, only 467 soldiers were wounded during the first Gulf War, according to Terry Jemison at the US Department of Veterans Affairs (VA), of the more than 592,560 discharged personnel who served there, at least 179,310 - one third -...

One would think that Medline, the major internet-based reference work for medical scientific literature should list the Journal of Orthomolecular Medicine as part of its database of public information. Yet, they refuse to list that journal, effectively slanting the scientific record against the use of micronutrients in health care. What to say? Another case of pro-pharma bias at the expense of people's health? Certainly there is a lack of transparency. Andrew Saul of doctoryourself.com believes it...
