A quick book review of Selling Sickness by Ray Moynihan and Alan Cassels

by

My friend Jackie lent me her book Selling Sickness by Ray Moynihan and Alan Cassels.  The front cover says “How the World’s Biggest Pharmaceutical Companies are Turning us all into Patients”

This book is a marketing expose.  It shows in plain language understandable by the common smart person how marketing is done by multinational companies.

Now I know pretty much how marketing and PR works since my wife is in that line of work and I have met people in that profession and have attended their award ceremonies.  It’s business.

Legally, the pharmaceutical companies are a business existing to make money, as long as what they do is legal.  And yes, what they do is legal, but the book blows the whistle on how unethical and how ultimately harmful the business has become.

Today, people’s and doctors’ minds are shaped by these legal behemoths of corporations they have a heartless soul all by themselves and the result is harmful for most people, including the very doctors and employees of those companies themselves.

The book is a must eye opener for the un-initiated.  You will never look at an advertisement, a doctor, a hospital or drug store the same way again.  The book shows just the tip of the iceberg.  It shows you that the popular diseases trumpeted in the prostituted media are trumpeted because it is big business.  The common sense you thought was common sense is in fact a result of effective marketing campaigns which earned the pharmaceutical companies big money.

If you are pharmaceutical company stock holders, you will applaud their techniques.  If you eventually become victims of their harmful drugs, procedures and doctor mis-education, you will be cursing them.

The book is an eye opener for those still unaware.

Doc Sutter says hyperthyroidism caused by parasites

by

Very interesting opinion from Doc Sutter at Curezone.com in his forum at:

http://www.curezone.com/forums/am.asp?i=1201749

Someone asks about hyperthyroidism and this is how Doc Sutter answered:

“Hyperthyroidism equals parasites. The amonia from the parasites stimulating the adrenals then of course the thyroid gets hyper. Sooner or later this turns into adrenal fatigue. Just a matter of time.

The only other cause would be the neck out of place. So a few good adjustments might do the trick also.”

Very simple solution.  All you need to do is try it.  How to get rid of parasites? See http://www.curemanual.com/detox-protocols/parasite-cleanse

Want to know more about parasites?  See http://www.curemanual.com/mind-cures-paradigm-shifts/book-cure-for-all-diseases

Now don’t be in denial about parasites and why the mass media or your local health expert doesn’t know about this.  If you are sick with hyperthyroidism right now, just do it.

The end result of my cooked homo optimus diet experiment

by

I am officially declaring the end of my homo optimus diet experiment.  I grew a pimple on the chin and a pimple on my left cheek.  They are deep and not visible externally but I can feel them there.  I also noticed a small bubble in the side of my “tall man” finger.  These are bad indicators for me.

Homo Optimus Diet recommends organic pork.  But the pork I have been getting is not organic.  I did buy once organic pork at the organic cooperative at double the price!  Maybe the commercial pork has parasites, maybe the commercial pork fat composition is more PUFA.

Maybe my method of choice of cooking, roasting introduces pollutants.  All cooking is polluting.

Maybe I should not be eating those commercial salted duck eggs.  The red coloring could be polluting.  The way it was “salted” could be polluting.

Maybe as experienced by many already, humans aren’t really suited for cooked food.  Raw is clean and most nutritious.

No, I haven’t been re-addicted to cooked food.  So I’m going straight back to raw food.  First thing to do is go on a Wai Diet to get rid of the pimples.  Then add back the raw beef and raw goat organs.  Will have to find a way to consume more raw fats.  High fat is wonderful, it just has to be raw for me.

California Senate Hearing on Raw Milk – things are heating up

by

Raw food activists are cooperating and at this point are making progress in California, USA regarding raw milk.  Read what Sally Fallon has to say in this latest update:

VICTORY IN CALIFORNIA!!

We have word just in about the Assembly Health Committee vote in California– unanimous for SB 201, the Fresh Raw Milk Act of 2008!

Thank you all for making those emails and phone calls. The assembly members report that they were inundated.

NEXT STEPS

Tomorrow is the hearing before the Assembly Agriculture Committee, which we expect will also vote in favor of the bill. Then the bill goes to the entire assembly. We will let you know when it is time to make those phone calls again to the entire assembly.

While we still have a ways to go to ensure the future of raw milk in California, we have passed a critical hurdle. Thank you all for your help. We’ll keep you posted of our progress. Meanwhile drink a toast of raw milk to SB 201 tonight!

Sincerely,
Sally Fallon

Our little dog died because of some viral illness… NOT!

by

Our few months old puppy died this afternoon at the vet’s office.  He was just 6 months old.  He was the smallest in a litter of 5 pups.  A beagle.  His name was Beads.

Yesterday the maid noticed Beads was not eating and getting really thin.  This morning our driver who was more knowledgeable with dogs said to feed the dog some 2 tablespoons of sugar so it would cough out what was indigestible in its stomach.  The dog did cough out a lot of grass and some coconut husks.

If the dog was eating grass, it knew instinctively that it was sick and needed grass.  Maybe the dog was sick a long time ago.  It was the smallest of all from a litter of 5.  Maybe it had parasites.  Maybe the vaccination it received made it sick.  Maybe the monotonous diet of processed dog food killed him, that would kill a human.

What was ridiculous is the veterenarian said the dog died of some viral illness!  Good grief.  What a load of bull.  That is the kind of answer that says… “DUH, I don’t know why your dog died, so I will just say viral illness!”

Same crap diagnosis I had a few years ago when I was in the hospital, viral illness idiocy.  I was just in bad shape, eating the wrong foods and eating polluted junk.

I think Beads was sick a long time ago.  I used to try playing with him running after him and he would mostly give up running after a minute and just surrender to me.  That’s no fun.  His mother I used to chase around for minutes and minutes at a time.  She would only surrender after some 15 minutes of chasing.  Fit humans are marathoners compared to dogs.

My cancer patient is sick again because of poverty and bible study

by

My cancer patient whom I coached April 2007 and seemed strong and cured by November 2007 is sick again.  He peed blood again a few weeks ago and the bleeding stopped eventually after 10 days.  He didn’t call me.  Must not want to hear me say I told you so.

I found out through other channels so I called him up.  I asked, what happened?  What happened to the healthy diet and healthy life style.  I found out through him and through his wife who visited us what really happened and what the problem was.

#1 is poverty.  He admitted to me he was too poor to maintain a fruit and raw vegan lifestyle.  So he reverted to eating a rice based diet again.  Tsk tsk.  I told him if he had asked me, I could teach him to eat animal foods, even cooked animal foods as long as it was high fat.  He can still achieve a high fat, low carb diet with animal foods.  A starch based diet is a cancer disaster.

#2 are his pets, his new hamster and worm business.  He never gave up his pets and the pests that come with them.  Now he added a hamster and earthworm business.  As Hulda Clark keeps saying, if you are cancer sick, give away your pets.  It’s the pet or you.  Now it is his livelihood from the hamsters.  Hey, a guy has to make some money.

#3 his bible studying.  So his wife tells us that her husband used to get a lot harsh criticisms from his fellow church members that he was not so Bible read.  So he found his enthusiasm to read and study his bible, everyday, until 4am.  He would sleep for only 2 hours and wake up at 6am.  His wife said that was the only quite time her husband had.

Oh I believe her, and his non-sleeping habits are killing him.  I’m sure his God will understand if he swaps a few bible studying hours for sleeping hours.

Quite easily analyzed.  Quite easily fixed.  If the patient is willing.

My cure protocol for my grandma’s non-walking problem

by

Here is my analysis and cure protocol for my grandma’s current sick condition.  I stress that my grandmother is sick, not old.  She is sick because bad habits have caught on with her, not age.

My grandmother is a self drugging, drug junkie.  She accumulates prescriptions and never sees an end to each drug and drinks one on top of the other making absolutely no sense at all.  She believes in television and all the lies of their drug commercials and junk food commercials and unhealth stupidities.  She keeps her rubbing alcohol, her advil, her vicks, her salonpas, her or creams and lotions and petroleum jelly, and her drug laxatives that don’t work.  She is addicted to biscuits.  I told her they cause constipation, yet she eats one in front of me.  She is addicted to chocolates and offers chocolates to my children.  She likes imported, pesticide ridden foreign imported grapes and shuns local in season the most nutritious native guavas.  She is a carb junkie always on rice and biscuits so she suffers from blood sugar spikes up and downs throughout the day and night, just like any carb based junkie.  She is continuously constipated because of her drugs and because she is not the water drinking type.  When she runs out of coconuts, she does not go out of her way to buy more coconuts.  Coconuts are the only good hydrated food for her.

My grandmother is so very afraid of the discomfort of cayenne, with that being her only hope of improving circulation and the hope of making her walk again, she refuses to take even one drop of cayenne tincture.  As Dr. Schulze says, if a person thinks cayenne is to hot and refuses, then let him be sick and die, it’s his choice.

A week ago my grandmother suffered from constipation.  Suffered for 6 days.  She didn’t call me.  She was too proud and depended on the new drugs her doctor gave her.  Ha and double ha.  Drug laxatives are idiotically weak and ineffective.  My grandmother’s sister was threatening to rush her to the hospital if she hadn’t pooped yet.  What was ridiculous is I gave her a batch of Barefoot Herbalist MH’s LBB capsules and it worked in the past beautifully for her at 8 to 10 capsules dose a day.  But she forgot about it.  She also had virgin coconut oil in her room that I gave, but she forgot about it.  And the sure fire way she used to call me for emergencies was Dr. Tam’s Miracle tea, but she forgot about it.  Yes, she has gone back to being drugged again and is now forgetful once more.

Being drugged is not funny.  You lose your personality, your intelligence.  You are dumbed down and unhealthy.

I visited my grandmother last Saturday afternoon and spent a good deal explaining to her what I thought her problems were and how to cure them.

#1 Low Magnesium, as analyzed in the Heart Center emergency room with the ER doctor explaining to my grandmother why she wasn’t given any drugs when my grandmother demanded drugs:  The ER doctor said, “You don’t need any drugs,  you need magnesium.”

solution: green supplements and green leafy vegetables.  My grandmother flat out refused green supplements I gave her.  I brought her green leafy vegetables.  But she doesn’t eat raw vegetables.  So since she will be eating cooked vegetables, there is little usable magnesium there.

#2 Cannot Walk, Cannot Stand.  this is a problem of blood circulation and low magnesium.  Poor blood circulation can be remedied by dipping legs in hot, then cold water back and forth.  Then supplementing with cayenne tincture several times a day everyday as instructed by Dr. Schulze.  I have cayenne tincture.  I gave her 2 small bottles of the cayenne tincture I made which is a big hit in our household, with my in-laws and with my employees.  But my grandmother refuses to take even one drop because she dislikes hot cayenne period.

#3 Aorta Calcified, atherosclerosis, as diagnosed on the 2D echo.  This is caused by vitamin C deficiency and other vitamin deficiencies and the eating of inflammation causing foods such as nightshades (tomatoes, potatoes, bell pepper, egg plants), grains (corn, wheat, etc.) and beans.  And not eating enough animal or plant fats.  And the ingestion of cooking oils like “vegetable” oils, canola oils, corn oils which are all inflammation causing.  And she has to give up all forms of frying for her food.  The solution really is a raw paleolithic diet, high fat / low carb in the homo optimus diet proportions of 1 part protein, 3 parts fat, and 0.8 parts carbs.  My grandmother won’t do that, she is so cholesterol myth stupefied and too inflexible with diet at her age. I supplement and delivered to her native guavas and native indian green mangoes.  The native guavas she initially refused because she says her false teeth have problems with them.  I told her native guavas were the best in vitamin C, bar none,  I don’t really know how much she ate of it.

#4 Constipation.  Is caused by her drugs.  When she was off the drugs, she had zero constipation.  Now that she is back on drugs she is constipated.  Oh, so obvious.  But since she worships drugs, she will have to live with constipation.  The constant use of laxatives depletes magnesium and we refer you back to problem #1, low magnesium.

So this is a no win situation folks.  A sick person you cannot teach and won’t learn because she’s too pig headed, and on drugs.

I wrote down my analysis and my solutions to her problem.  She won’t do cayenne period.  Good luck 83 year old young grandma.  My 98 year old grandfather on my father’s side on the other hand took in loads of cayenne tincture when he was dying of pneumonia and couldn’t breath.  Why?  He wanted to live.  He wanted to get well.  And he did.

And what of the drugs my grandma is taking?  They prevent her heart from pumping enough blood so she can have better circulation to allow her to walk.   They cause constipation which poisons my grandmother, death from your own stuck poop.  Drugs cause constipation in your veins and blood vessels.  But she’s happy with the drugs.  She believes in drugs.  But those drugs will never let her walk again.  Not in her wildest dreams.

Me, I will just try in vain to shove some cayenne tincture in front of her face hoping one day she will take it.
