We are now at a cross roads in human history. Our basic health freedom, which we all naturally possess from birth, is being challenged on a global scale. The World Health Organization, acting in coordination with 194 signatory nations, means to crush our inherent rights to independence by claiming de facto ownership over self determination of the body. Vaccine mandates are a reality. Our community is in peril. Never has a groundswell of this magnitude been so prescient, and never has any emergency demanded greater action, or threatened the very fabric of our existence. This crucial document serves as a beacon of hope to bring our many families in need closer together.
At the time premature babies were considered genetically inferior, and were simply left to fend for themselves and ultimately die.
Dr Martin Couney offered desperate parents a pioneering solution that was as expensive as it was experimental – and came up with a very unusual way of covering the costs.
It was Coney Island in the early 1900’s. Beyond the Four-Legged Woman, the sword swallowers, and “Lionel the Lion-Faced Man,” was an entirely different exhibit: rows of tiny, premature human babies living in glass incubators.
The brainchild of this exhibit was Dr. Martin Couney, an enigmatic figure in the history of medicine. Couney created and ran incubator-baby exhibits on the island from 1903 to the early 1940s.
Behind the gaudy facade, premature babies were fighting for their lives, attended by a team of medical professionals. To see them, punters paid 25 cents. The public funding paid for the expensive care, which cost about $15 a day in 1903 (the equivalent of $405 today) per incubator.
Couney was in the lifesaving business, and he took it seriously. The exhibit was immaculate. When new children arrived, dropped off by panicked parents who knew Couney could help them where hospitals could not, they were immediately bathed, rubbed with alcohol and swaddled tight, then “placed in an incubator kept at 96 or so degrees, depending on the patient. Every two hours, those who could suckle were carried upstairs on a tiny elevator and fed by breast by wet nurses who lived in the building. The rest [were fed by] a funneled spoon. The smallest baby Couney handled is reported to have weighed a pound and a half.
His nurses all wore starched white uniforms and the facility was always spotlessly clean.
An early advocate of breast feeding, if he caught his wet nurses smoking or drinking they were sacked on the spot. He even employed a cook to make healthy meals for them.
The incubators themselves were a medical miracle, 40 years ahead of what was being developed in America at that time.
Each incubator was made of steel and glass and stood on legs, about 5ft tall. A water boiler on the outside supplied hot water to a pipe running underneath a bed of mesh, upon which the baby slept.
Race, economic class, and social status were never factors in his decision to treat and Couney never charged the parents for the babies care.The names were always kept anonymous, and in later years the doctor would stage reunions of his “graduates”.
According to historian Jeffrey Baker, Couney’s exhibits “offered a standard of technological care not matched in any hospital of the time.”
Throughout his decades of saving babies, Couney understood there were better options. He tried to sell, or even donate, his incubators to hospitals, but they didn’t want them. He even offered all his incubators to the city of New York in 1940, but was turned down.
In a career spanning nearly half a century he claimed to have saved nearly 6,500 babies with a success rate of 85 per cent, according to the Coney Island History
In 1943, Cornell New York Hospital opened the city’s first dedicated premature infant station. As more hospitals began to adopt incubators and his techniques, Couney closed the show at Coney Island. He said his work was done.
Today, one in 10 babies born in the United States is premature, but their chance of survival is vastly improved—thanks to Couney and the carnival babies.
A nutrition expert has revealed the rules to weight loss from around the world -including eating seven pieces of fruit and veg and fish three-times-a-day.
George Hamlyn-Williams, based in Nottingham, is the principal dietitian from The Hospital Group and following research that puts the UK’s obesity rate ten times higher than countries such as China, he turned to several countries’ nutritional guidelines to see what they were doing differently.
He looked into diet recommendations from countries including Japan, Italy and Norway and pointed out which recommendations should be followed and which should be avoided.
He pointed out, for instance, that Japan’s recommendation to add more fish to the diet, up to three portions a day, was sound nutritional advice, but said that Italy’s recommendation to eat seven biscuits a week was ‘ambiguous.’
He revealed exclusively to Femail his findings and ten of his dos and don’ts when it comes to weight loss and nutrition from around the world.
New data shows dolphins, turtles and stingrays made up 94 per cent of the marine life caught by shark nets on some of New South Wales’s most popular beaches.
Four years ago, CEO Dan Price slashed his own salary of almost $1 million to raise those of his employees, bringing the minimum salary of every employee to $70,000. Now he’s opening an office in a new city and promising another salary increase.
Oh come on! They’d have to learn how the body works with foods, herbs and spices to heal itself. Big ask for a legal drug pusher!
In fairness to those who would like to do the right thing, ask them how much leeway they are given in trying recommendations different from the medical mafia proscribind drugging.
And how many patients walk in wanting a pill for a “quick fix” and are not prepared to contemplate a lifestyle change.
The “System”, the public, the drug companies and medical education all work hand in hand to produce the disaster we have at present.
Michael Mann, creator of the infamous global warming
’hockey stick,’ loses lawsuit against climate skeptic, ordered to pay
defendant’s costs
Michael Mann, a climatologist at Penn State
University, is the creator of the “hockey stick graph“ that appears to
show global temperatures taking a noticeable swing upward in the era
when humanity has been burning fossil fuels and dumping CO2 into the
atmosphere. The graph was first published in 1998, was prominently
featured in the 2001 U.N. Climate Report, and formed part of Al Gore’s
2006 movie An Inconvenient Truth.
The graph’s methodology and accuracy have been and
continue to be hotly contested, but Mann has taken the tack of suing two
of his most prominent critics for defamation or libel. One case,
against Mark Steyn, is called by Steyn likely to end up in the Supreme
Court. But another case, against Dr. Tim Ball, was decided by the
Supreme Court of British Columbia, with Mann’s case thrown out, and him
ordered to pay the defendant’s legal costs, no doubt a tidy sum of
money. News first broke in Wattsupwiththat, via an email Ball sent to
Anthony Watts. Later, Principia-Scientific offered extensive details,
including much background on the hockey stick.
The Canadian court issued it’s [sic] final ruling in
favor of the Dismissal motion that was filed in May 2019 by Dr Tim
Ball’s libel lawyers.
Not only did the court grant Ball’s application for
dismissal of the nine-year, multi-million dollar lawsuit, it also took
the additional step of awarding full legal costs to Ball. A detailed
public statement from the world-renowned skeptical climatologist is
expected in due course.
This extraordinary outcome is expected to trigger
severe legal repercussions for Dr Mann in the U.S. and may prove fatal
to climate science claims that modern temperatures are “unprecedented.”
(snip)
Dr Mann lost his case because he refused to show in
open court his R2 regression numbers (the ’working out’) behind the
world-famous ’hockey stick’ graph[.]
Real science, not the phony “consensus” version,
requires open access to data so skeptics (who play a key role in
science) can see if results are reproducible. Of course, there are no
falsifiable experimental data associated with the global warming
predictions of doom, so it doesn’t really stand as science as Karl
Popper defined it.
This is an important victory in the process of debunking the warmist scare.
Update 1: Michael Mann disputes the notion that he lost (and more):
There have been some wildly untruthful claims about
the recent dismissal of libel litigation against Tim Ball circulating on
social media. Here is our statement (https://t.co/8tGoBZnE3Y):

Update 2: Technology.news has a rather different take from Mann’s, noting that further legal steps are on their way.
Penn State climate scientist, Michael ’hockey stick’
Mann commits contempt of court in the ’climate science trial of the
century.’ Prominent alarmist shockingly defies judge and refuses to
surrender data for open court examination. Only possible outcome: Mann’s
humiliation, defeat and likely criminal investigation in the U.S.
The defendant in the libel trial, the 79-year-old
Canadian climatologist, Dr Tim Ball … is expected to instruct his
British Columbia attorneys to trigger mandatory punitive court
sanctions, including a ruling that Mann did act with criminal intent
when using public funds to commit climate data fraud. Mann’s imminent
defeat is set to send shock waves worldwide within the climate science
community as the outcome will be both a legal and scientific vindication
of U.S. President Donald Trump’s claims that climate scare stories are a
“hoax.” (snip)
Michael Mann, who chose to file what many consider to
be a cynical SLAPP (Strategic Lawsuit Against Public Participation)
libel suit in the British Columbia Supreme Court, Vancouver six long
years ago, has astonished legal experts by refusing to comply with the
court direction to hand over all his disputed graph’s data. Mann’s
iconic hockey stick has been relied upon by the UN’s IPCC and western
governments as crucial evidence for the science of ’man-made global
warming.’ (snip)
The negative and unresponsive actions of Dr Mann and
his lawyer, Roger McConchie, are expected to infuriate the judge and be
the signal for the collapse of Mann’s multi-million dollar libel suit
against Dr Ball. It will be music to the ears of so-called ’climate
deniers’ like President Donald Trump and his EPA Chief, Scott Pruitt.
As Dr Ball explains:
“Michael Mann moved for an adjournment of the trial
scheduled for February 20, 2017. We had little choice because Canadian
courts always grant adjournments before a trial in their belief that an
out of court settlement is preferable. We agreed to an adjournment with
conditions. The major one was that he [Mann] produce all documents
including computer codes by February 20th, 2017. He failed to meet the
deadline.”
Punishment for Civil Contempt
Mann’s now proven contempt of court means Ball is
entitled to have the court serve upon Mann the fullest punishment.
Contempt sanctions could reasonably include the judge ruling that Dr.
Ball’s statement that Mann “belongs in the state pen, not Penn. State’
is a precise and true statement of fact. This is because under Canada’s
unique ’Truth Defense’, Mann is now proven to have wilfully hidden his
data, so the court may rule he hid it because it is fake. As such, the
court must then dismiss Mann’s entire libel suit with costs awarded to
Ball and his team.
