Doctors to be brought to justice

ABUSE SIGHTINGS

Doctors who assist in torture should be brought to justice
Near-silence surrounds the issue of doctors’ complicity in the torture of terrorist suspects, writes William Hopkins.

By William Hopkins

The issue of Western complicity in the torture of terrorist suspects is not going away.

In Britain, each day brings new demands for an inquiry into the security services' alleged involvement – not least in a severely critical report published this week by the Parliamentary Joint Committee on Human Rights.

In the US, the imminent release of a CIA report from 2004 is expected to reveal a "Technicolor horror show" sanctioned by senior government lawyers.

Mind Control and Gang Stalking

ABUSE SIGHTINGS

Solitary terror of Mind Control
“Extreme community” on the Internet encourages delusional thinking

Dolly S. Fletcher

For years they lived in solitary terror of the light beams that caused searing headaches, the technology that took control of their minds and bodies.

They feared the stalkers, people whose voices shouted from the walls or screamed in their heads, “We found you” and “We want you dead.”

When people who believe such things reported them to the police, doctors or family, they said they were often told they were crazy. Sometimes they were medicated or locked in hospital wards, or fired from jobs and isolated from the outside world.

Daikon Radish for flu prevention

FOOD AS MEDICINE

Daikon and Scallions for Flu
Simple dietary methods help to ward off illness

Arlie Maylin
Garden of Healing®

CHICAGO, IL

Boost your immune system with Daikon radish and scallions by making this simple soup to ward off flu this Fall. It's a great natural remedy for general use.

Variations of this soup likely exist, and you might want to check with an Acupuncturist for the details, and for other natural methods for preventing illness as the cold weather rolls in.

Daikon is Japanese for a mild-flavored, very large, white, East Asian radish, shaped like a giant carrot.

While Daikon is very low in food energy, or calories, it does provide a goodly amount of vitamin C. Daikon also contains the active enzyme myrosinase that aids digestion, particularly of starchy foods.


Flu Prevention Recipe

Dice one 6 inch piece of Daikon (white radish).

Chop up a small bunch of scallions (feel free to include the roots).

Add the Daikon and scallions to a pot with 5 cups of water and bring to a boil. Simmer for 20 minutes.

Drink the soup and don't forget to eat the radish and scallions as well.

This preparation is enough for 5 servings. Store it in the refrigerator and warm when needed.

Toxic Load and Purification

DETOXIFICATION

Toxic Load and Purification
"Spring cleaning" for your insides; cleansing and detoxification of your body

Mark Isaac Thyss
Garden of Healing®

Fatigue or difficulty sleeping? Digestion and other gastrointestinal problems? What about reduced mental clarity?

If you are not feeling up to par, start asking yourself these questions.

Do you eat processed foods? Do you consume genetically-altered foods? Do you use artificial sweeteners? How about your intake of sodas or other beverages, especially those laden with HFC and aspartame?

If you do, you have a certain amount of toxic load.

What is toxic load, and how do you determine it?

Toxic load is the amount of toxins that your body needs to process, and purification is the internal cleansing and detoxification of your body.

Toxins can contribute to a wide range of conditions:

Stuffy head
Fatigue or difficulty sleeping
Digestion and other gastrointestinal problems
Food cravings and weight gain
Reduced mental clarity
Low libido

Start assessing your toxic load with these questions from the people at StandardProcess.

Male Sexual Victimization Myths & Facts

Adapted from a presentation at the 5th International Conference on Incest and Related Problems, Biel, Switzerland, August 14, 1991.

Myth #1 - Boys and men can't be victims.

This myth, instilled through masculine gender socialization and sometimes referred to as the "macho image," declares that males, even young boys, are not supposed to be victims or even vulnerable. We learn very early that males should be able to protect themselves. In truth, boys are children - weaker and more vulnerable than their perpetrators - who cannot really fight back. Why? The perpetrator has greater size, strength, and knowledge. This power is exercised from a position of authority, using resources such as money or other bribes, or outright threats - whatever advantage can be taken to use a child for sexual purposes.

Tater Tot Cafeteria

CHILDRENS' HEALTH

Ann Cooper's Non-negotiable Lunchroom
Real Lunch Reform, "The social justice issue of our time."

Arlie Maylin
Garden of Healing®

Ann Cooper is "the renegade lunch lady". Armed with vegetables, organic milk and a non-negotiable additude toward high-fructose corn syrup, Cooper's crusade is to transform 11,000 school districts nationwide, one lunchroom at a time.

Cooper is every parent's dream, setting the tone for their child's food-consumption future, by serving them real food, at that most impressionable age. Memories die hard, especially when it comes to bad, unhealthy and/or unappetizing foods from childhood.

Ann Cooper came on the scene in 2005, when she joined the Berkeley Unified School District in California as Director of Nutrition Services. Once having transformed the diets of 9,000 students in Berkeley, she set her sights on taking her mission and menu to school cafeterias nationwide.

"We can either pay for lifelong wellness now, or pay later for a tsunami of diabetes. And (these) kids can't learn if they're not well nourished," says Cooper.

When Cooper took the Director of Nutrition Services job in 2005, she found that the district's food-service system had completely retreated from actual cooking. "When I arrived, 100 percent of the food arrived in plastic, was reheated in plastic, and served to the kids in plastic," she says.

Overcoming an absurdly stringent budget and severely limited cooking infrastructure within school cafeterias, she has already eliminated what she calls "plastic food" and is now serving fresh, made-from-scratch meals.

"High-fat, high-sugar, high-salt diets with very few fruits and vegetables and no whole grains will lead to a generation of kids who, for the first time, will die at a younger age than their parents," she added.

In June 2009, Cooper took her campaign for school lunch reform nationwide by overseeing the nonprofit F3 Foundation (Food Family Farming), which offers a lunch box of free tools covering menu planning, student nutrition, recipes, and sourcing techniques.

Cooper's demands are non-negotiable - all-organic milk, no high-fructose corn syrup, and whole grains. But she does recognize that each school district is its own distinct entity with unique challenges.

"We just make the best choices we can," she explained. "But I'd like to affect policy on a national level. That's where the big change will come."

Sugar Invites Infection to Dinner

IMMUNE SYSTEM

Infection has a Sweet Tooth
Sugar lowers white blood cell activity

Mark Isaac Thyss
Garden of Healing®

While governments are driving to inoculate people against swine flu this Fall, here's something you can do to help avoid general infections.

Steer clear of sugar.

Within ten minutes of ingesting sugar, the immune system becomes suppressed. In fact, many studies have shown that sugar reduces the ability of your white blood cells to engulf bacteria by 50%.

Neutrophils are a type of white blood cell that act as an important first-line-of-defense in the immune system by engulfing pathogens.

Ingesting simple carbohydrates including glucose, fructose, sucrose, honey, and orange juice will hamper the job neutrophils were created to accomplish - eating the bad guys.

Simply put, adding sugar invites infection to dinner - and your body is the main course.

Other effects of sugar on the body:

Increases overgrowth of the candida yeast organism
Increases chronic fatigue
Increases tooth decay
Increases anxiety and irritability

Sugar’s harmful effect on the immune system can last up to five hours, and especially during periods of stress, like the holidays, it's best to avoid it completely.

Diabolical Mind Control Programs by US Military

MIND GAMES

Vets Sue CIA Over Mind Control Tests
Mind control experiments go awry, leaving civilian and military subjects with permanent disabilities

By Noah Shachtman

For two decades or more during the Cold War, the CIA and the military allegedly plied the unwitting with acid, weed, and dozens of psychoactive drugs, in a series of zany (and sometimes dangerous) mind-control experiments. Now, the Vietnam Veterans of America are suing the agency and the Pentagon for perceived abuses suffered under the so-called "MK-ULTRA" and other projects.

Six veterans are suffering from all kinds of ailments tied to this
"diabolical and secret testing program," according to a statement from the vets’ lawyers, passed on to SpyTalk’s Jeff Stein.

The experiments allegedly included "the use of troops to test nerve gas, psychochemicals, and thousands of other toxic chemical or biological substances, and … the insertion of septal implants in the brains of subjects in … mind control experiments that went awry, leaving many civilian and military subjects with permanent disabilities." Subjects were tested without their consent, the veterans say. And when the trials were over, the government failed to "provide health care or compensation."
