Oregano – Effective Against Bacteria, Virus and Candida

The Journal of Food Protection reported a study by researchers at the Department of Food Science at the University of Tennessee. Scientists found that oregano oil exhibited the most significant antibacterial action against common germs like staphylococcus, E. coli, and listeria. In fact, researchers in the United Kingdom found that oil of oregano has antibacterial activity against 25 different bacteria.
Antibiotics are powerless against viruses and fungi but oregano oil is effective against these pathogens too.
What’s more is that oregano oil also killed 78 percent of candida bacteria, commonly linked with intestinal or systemic candida infections and 78 percent of klebsiella bacteria, which is linked to lung infections.
For candida, one source used Dr. Shultze’s herbal detox tea, pau d’arco, and other anti-fungal herbs to attack the candida internally, as well as limited his sugar intake for a full year.

Psychiatrists Want Ban on Dangerous Psychosurgery Lifted under Current NSW Mental Health Act Review

Public consultation may be denied prior to the draft legislation/amendments being placed before Parliament.
The NSW Mental Health Act is under review and some of the points raised in the Discussion Paper for the review are of considerable concern. Clear protections and full transparency are called for so that patient and parental rights are protected in our mental health law. This is a summary of key points proposed or currently in the existing law that need to be changed.
PSYCHOSURGERY: Psychosurgery is currently and correctly banned in NSW and the NT for all age groups, yet psychiatrists want this ban lifted so they can perform brain-damaging surgery and deep brain stimulation (DBS), which even a leading US DBS psychiatrist, Steven Rasmussen admits: “This really is a kind of mind control….” Experts criticize DBS as a costly mistake, as it has not been proven to be safe and effective. Psychosurgery destroys healthy brain tissue and is an obsolete and dangerous—even deadly—practice. Psychosurgery can involve cutting or burning the brain or electrodes can be permanently placed in the brain sending an electrical current through it, as in the case of DBS. It can cause memory loss, irreversible brain damage, bleeding in the brain and post-operative death. Psychosurgery must remain prohibited in NSW. [Discussion Paper [DP]: September 2012, Issues arising under the NSW Mental Health Act 2007, pp.41, 42 and s83 (1) of NSW Mental Health Act 2007 (MHA 2007)]
ELECTROSHOCK (ECT) OF CHILDREN: In this day and age, it is appalling that the current law allows for children to be electroshocked – the brutal application of hundreds of volts of electricity to the head potentially causing brain damage, memory loss and sometimes death. The current law allows for 14-year-old voluntary patients considered to have the capacity to consent, to agree to ECT if two medical practitioners (one a psychiatrist) sign a certificate saying it is needed. No further consent is needed, including the child’s parents. ECT can also be given to children and adults who are involuntary patients without personal or parental consent, if two medical practitioners (one a psychiatrist) sign a certificate saying it is needed and apply to the Mental Health Review Tribunal (MHRT) for consent. A total of 30,539 electroshocks were given in NSW in 2009/10. ECT should be banned, but especially for use on children, pregnant women and the elderly. Should it remain, ECT should never be given without the full informed consent of involuntary patients. [s93, s94, s96 of MHA 2007 and DP, p. 40]
STERILISATION (Special Medical Treatment): Can currently be performed on involuntarily detained patients over age 16. Consent is not required from the patient or the primary carer. An authorised medical practitioner applies to the MHRT to have the sterilisation performed. Sterilisation should be completely removed from the Mental Health Act, as has been done in WA’s proposed new Mental Health Act. It is a gross human rights violation to enforce sterilisation. The state should not have the right to supersede patient/guardian consent for an irreversible medical procedure. [s102, s103 of MHA 2007 & Mental Health Review Tribunal Hearing Kit, Section 7, p. 7.4]
RESTRAINT AND SECLUSION OF CHILDREN: The current Mental Health Act does not cover and provide protections against the use of mechanical restraint (the use of belts, harnesses, manacles, straps, etc.) and chemical restraint (the use of psychiatric drugs to subdue and control) or seclusion, leaving these traumatic and abusive procedures in place without legal safeguards. The Act allows for the use of reasonable force and the administration of sedatives while transporting someone to a mental health facility, which could constitute chemical and physical restraint. Instead of legal protections covered by law, restraint usage is covered under a NSW Health Policy Directive, compliance of which is a condition of subsidy for public health organisations. Private health organisations do not have to adhere to this Policy Directive but are expected to have policies in place. The NSW Ministry of Health does not collect or report publicly data on the number of mechanical restraints administered in psychiatric institutions. In 2009/10 there were 6,522 seclusions in NSW psychiatric facilities. The Mental Health Act needs to provide legal safeguards for restraint and seclusion, including prohibiting the use of punitive restraint. Both chemical and physical restraint needs to be prohibited for use on children, pregnant women and the elderly. [s81 (3), of MHA 2007 & Policy Directive, Aggression, Seclusion & Restraint in Mental Health Facilities in NSW, NSW Government Ministry of Health, pp. 5, 29]
INVOLUNTARY COMMITMENT OF CHILDREN: Under the current Mental Health Act, a medical practitioner can legally order a child or adult to be sent for a psychiatric examination, at which point a second legal order (called a Form 1) can detain them in a psychiatric institution if two medical practitioners (one a psychiatrist) agree the child or adult should be involuntarily committed. The child can be initially detained for three days (if considered ‘mentally disordered’) or if ‘mentally ill,’ they can be detained until the MHRT holds a Mental Health Inquiry (usually this takes two – three weeks) to decide if the child/ adult should be detained for up to a further three months. If a child is admitted voluntarily, psychiatrists can change their status to involuntary and detain them. Parents are not able to discharge their child and take them home and parental consent is not needed for further detainment or treatment including psychiatric drugs, restraint, seclusion and electroshock.
APPEALS: While this situation is abhorrent enough, parents who wish to appeal to have their child discharged have no guarantee that a Mental Health Inquiry or appeal will result in the child allowed to return home. The Tribunal can also refuse to hear the appeal before the date on which the child is to be next reviewed, leaving the child to be “treated” without parental consent. Of the 4,130 individuals the MHRT held a Mental Health Inquiry for in 2011/12 after their initial detention, only 50 were discharged (1.2%). Another 581 were discharged on a legal order to receive rugs/treatment at home. NSW does not keep public figures regarding the number of children involuntarily detained. No child should be involuntarily detained and treated without parental/guardian consent and adjudicated only by judge or magistrate, with the parents and child legally represented., Parents should have the same rights regarding psychiatric treatment as that provided for them deciding medical treatment for their child. The Mental Health Act needs to be changed accordingly. [s18, s19 (4), s27, s31, s 30, s34, s35 (5) c, s44, s150]
CHILDREN AND COMMUNITY TREATMENT ORDERS (CTO): A CTO is a legal order that the MHRT issues to force a child or adult to take psychiatric drugs or accept treatment at home, which can be for a period up to 12 months. Parental consent is not required in the case of a child. Psychiatrists now want community or health care agencies to have the power to forcibly treat a child or adult without a CTO, disingenuously calling it an “Initial Involuntary Treatment Order.” Drugs could be forcibly administered for at least 14 days while the child/adult is awaiting a MHRT Inquiry. No child should be placed on a CTO. Initial Involuntary Treatment orders should not be written into the Mental Health Act. [s51, 53(6) of MHA 2007 & p. 27 of DP]
INFORMED CONSENT DENIED: The current Act provides “Principles for Care and Treatment” [s68] which outline 10 points of care, including that patients should be provided with information about treatments, alternatives, the effects of treatment and informed of their legal rights. However, another clause [s195] states that these principles, including informed consent, are not a “right or entitlement enforceable at law.” These fundamental rights should be enforceable by law.
CONFLICTS OF INTEREST FOR ECT AND PRESCRIBING OF PSYCHIATRIC DRUGS: The current Mental Health Act states that full disclosure must be made on the consent form signed by the patient of any financial relationships between the person proposing or administering electroshock and the facility where he or she works. Psychiatrists want this transparency and accountability removed. Yet the current clause should go a great deal further to declare if the administering psychiatrist or family members have any financial relationships with the makers of the ECT device or any devices that are used to administer brain-intervention procedures. The conflict disclosure should not be limited to ECT, but to all psychiatric treatments administered, especially for psychiatric drugs and affiliations with pharmaceutical companies that manufacture them. There is no valid justification to hide these potential conflicts of interest. Patients have a right to know. A register of pharmaceutical company conflicts of interest could be kept at all psychiatric facilities that patients could view and sign as part of their consent form that they have read the applicable entries. [s91 (2) & (3)]
PUBLIC CONSULTATION MAY NOT OCCUR PRIOR TO A DRAFT BILL/AMENDMENTS BEING VOTED ON IN PARLIAMENT: In 2012 the public was asked to provide feedback on the current NSW Mental Health Act. The NSW Ministry of Health is currently preparing a report on the feedback, which will be provided to Parliament in mid June 2013 and will be used to draft legislation/amendments. No guarantee has been given that the public will be able to see and comment on any proposed legislation or amendments before going to Parliament for vote. Any draft legislation or amendments must be made public. [DP, p.12]
ALTERNATIVES: There is no doubt that some children who are troubled require special care.. But they should be given holistic, humane care that improves their condition. Institutions should be safe havens where children and adults voluntarily seek help without fear of indefinite incarceration or harmful and terrifying treatment. They need a quiet and safe environment, good nutrition, rest, exercise and help with life’s problems. Extensive medical evidence proves that underlying and undiagnosed physical illnesses can manifest as “psychiatric” symptoms and therefore should be addressed with the correct medical treatment, not psychiatric procedures that mask but never cure their problems. Studies show that once the physical condition is addressed, the mental symptoms can disappear. With proper medical treatment and real help people can lead healthier, happier lives.

Research Reveals Previously Unknown Pathway by which Glyphosate Wrecks Health

While Monsanto insists that Roundup is safe and “minimally toxic” to humans, new research argues that glyphosate residues on and in food enhance the damaging effects of other food-borne chemical residues and environmental toxins to disrupt normal body functions and induce disease. If you are not eating organic, maybe it is time you rethink that position.

BRICS in the Great Wall

Probably, the most thought-provoking question is why BRICS is of so much interest to China, which traditionally abstained from making unions or joining alliances that could have limited its activities in the world arena. It seems that Beijing’s commitment to BRICS can be seen through the prism of US-Chinese global rivalry. From the Chinese perspective, the main role BRICS has yet to play is to help China force out the US dollar as the main and single world currency and challenge American dominance in the existing world economic order.

Neotame – More Toxic Than Aspartame

Had a close friend hand me a bar wrapper tonight. I went through the ingredients and came to Neotame.
Did a quick search online and confirmed it was far worse then my suspicions. It’s not just Aspartame with a new name, IT’S WORSE!
One of the more recent toxic additions to our food supply is the artificial sweetener called Neotame.
In the European Union, where it was approved as a flavor enhancer as of November 2010, it is known by its “E number,” E961.
Made by NutraSweet (a former division of Monsanto and the original manufacturer of aspartame), neotame is 13,000 times sweeter than table sugar, and about 30 times sweeter than aspartame. It’s based on the aspartame formula—despite the fact that 80 percent of all FDA complaints pertain to adverse reactions from aspartame.
Monsanto’s own pre-approval studies of neotame revealed adverse reactions, and there were no independent studies that found neotame to be safe.
On August 16, 2000, the law firm of Hartman & Craven filed comments on the neotame docket pertaining to the lack of safety data submitted in support of neotameiv, stating in part:
“A food additive petition has been submitted to the FDA for the artificial sweetener neotame. In that petition, the sponsor claims the data presented demonstrate that the compound produces no adverse effects at a dose of 1000 mg/kg/day in the rat. The sponsor also claims that the product should be safe for patients with diabetes. A review of the data submitted to the FDA does not support these conclusions.
In fact, no safe human usage level can be determined based on the submitted data. The animal experimental evidence indicates a toxic effect on growth. The clinical evidence raises concerns about glucose control in patients with diabetes.
Searches for an explanation resolving the adverse findings leave no clear acceptable answers that would insure the safety of the public but does stimulate speculation on questions relating to possible liver effects.”

Malware Built At Record Rates

If you do not have malware (MALicious softWARE) protection (anti-virus being the simplest example) then you are it is only a matter of time before you are badly stung.
Trojans continue to dominate the threat landscape, according to Panda Security’s latest quarterly report, released Monday.
The anti-virus maker’s research arm, PandaLabs, found that between January and March of this year, more than 6.5 million new malware strains were built, with trojans comprising 75 percent of those. In total, trojans were responsible for 80 percent of global computer infections – a record – far outpacing worms, viruses and adware.
Across the globe, researchers discovered that more than 31 percent of PCs have been seeded with malware, with machines in China experiencing the highest infection rates (around 50 percent). In the United States, PandaLabs said 28 percent of computers are infected nationwide, numbers that roughly correspond to previous versions of the report.

Malaria Finally Defeated – by MMS (chlorine dioxide)

by Jim Humble
The worst disease of mankind, malaria, a disease that has killed more humans than all the wars of mankind, was finally defeated and the defeat was proven a fact by the Red Cross on the 16th of December 2012. The location was Africa, in the country of Uganda, Luuka District.
The test was conducted by the International Red Cross, the Uganda Red Cross, the local health authorities, and other Ugandan scientists and laboratories. Total scientific testing was maintained throughout the 4-day operation. There were doctors to sign off on the blood tests, malaria test strips to show malaria, and official microscope technicians to even verify the number of malaria parasites present in each malaria victim. The microscope technicians have officially identified malaria parasites on a daily basis. Other personnel present were nurses to help the doctors, video technicians, people to serve as observers and various other personnel.
Klaas Proesmans, a prominent Red Cross figure and CEO of the Water Reference Center of the International Red Cross, told me that he had wondered if there might be some truth in the claim by the Genesis 2 Church that MMS (chlorine dioxide) actually killed malaria and returned health to malaria victims. He finally decided to personally finance a full scale malaria clinical trial in the jungle on actual malaria victims rather than laboratory rats.
Klaas Proesmans came to our seminar in Mexico that teaches the use of chlorine dioxide to cure diseases. He arrived here in Mexico about 2 months before the actual clinical trial of the 4 days that was from the 11th to the 16th of December, 2012, in Uganda. He said to me at that time that he really didn’t think chlorine dioxide worked to cure diseases but he felt it was his job to prove it one way or the other. At the time of this clinical trial many diseases were treated, but the disease of interest was malaria. And 154 cases of malaria were given doses of MMS which, of course, was chlorine dioxide. All 154 cases were free of malaria within 24 hours of taking the dose, with only 11 cases requiring a second dose. This was all recorded on DVD and on paper with signatures of doctors and technicians. There was no chance of mistake. One hundred and fifty-four cases of malaria were made well. We have the original DVDs, plus copies of the DVDs, copies of the signatures or even actual signatures, as well as copies of all papers and signatures of those who were cured. All of this will be recorded on YouTube with the exception of the signatures of the malaria victims, as that takes individual permission, but the signatures are available for use in court if needed.
There was some worry about possible side effects to people taking MMS, but since chlorine dioxide is used to purify water in thousands of municipal water purification systems and used for treating vegetables around the world, there are numerous tests showing the safety of ingesting chlorine dioxide. Millions of people have been ingesting chlorine dioxide for nearly a hundred years. At this time as many as 10 million people have used chlorine dioxide to overcome diseases. For the 15 years since I first began to treat people for diseases there have been no recorded deaths or permanent damage to a single human being.
Some further details: I can’t praise Klaas Proesmans enough for his forward-looking, personal responsibility towards the human race. That he would personally arrange this malaria clinical trial by first insisting and then financing the clinical trial itself is monumental. If the information gets used, Klaas will have saved thousands of lives, many thousands, even millions of lives. These malaria victims, children and adults, who are at this moment dying, are no less valuable than all the other people of the world. Who knows, one of them might grow up to save the human race. We can save them so why don’t we?
The greatest cause of poverty in Africa is malaria. The millions of sick people are needed to work in the fields. Without malaria poverty will be almost non-existent. Imagine if there were 80 million people sick with malaria in the US. We could easily soon have the same poverty rampant in America. So we need to save those lives.
But to save lives we need your help: We must get this information out to the world. If you never help ever again, this time humanity needs your help. Mankind must know about this development. This is one time that what you personally do will have a direct effect on saving lives, not theoretically, actually. It is so important that we get this information to our friends, magazines, newspapers, TV stations, radio stations, web radio stations, and government officials such as Mayors and Governors because thousands of lives depend upon it.
More than 3000 children die from malaria every day. Science has proven again and again that it can solve any problem presented to it. The idea that we need to allow our children to suffer to their death because there are too many people on Earth is totally repugnant, but there are people who suggest it. I know that there are medical people who would spend years testing MMS while children and adults die from malaria, but ask any one of those who are dying if they would rather die than maybe have some minor side effect that has not yet shown up. And of course you will find that no one wants that. So since I have already tested it for 15 years, are we going to go ahead and save those 3000 who die each day or do we spend another year testing while more than 1 million die from malaria?
You know the answer to that. We have to save all that we can save right now.
But the real question is, WHAT IS THE RED CROSS GOING TO DO?
I’m not going to say a lot right now because we want to give the Red Cross time to do the “right thing.”
Let me ask you again but a little more to the point. Please, please, send this NEWSLETTER out to as many people as you can. This is one of those few times that what you do will make a difference. No matter who you are or where you are, if you will send out this newsletter to friends and just anyone, the chances are 99% that you will affect at least one life in Africa. They could be saved and that would be at least one person who no longer need suffer. And chances are very high it would be a lot more. And maybe, just maybe, the letter you send out will go to the right person and it will cause a million lives to be saved.
Please understand. Right now we are dealing in human lives. This data is dealing in lives. What you do now will determine how many live and how many die. And I mean you. Of course, I know there are thousands of others besides you, but you will still have a direct effect. I am not begging for a few dollars, or a couple of dimes. I am asking you for someone’s life that will cost you only a few moments of your time. THE RED CROSS HAS HAD THE ANSWER TO SAVING THOSE LIVES FOR 5 MONTHS NOW AND NOT A SINGLE LIFE SAVED SINCE THE TESTING. If enough people learn about this, a voice will go up loud enough to get something done, and there will be people who want to do things themselves to help. If you have never sent any kind of a humanitarian letter anywhere, and if you have never given a beggar a dime, or helped an old lady across the street, and you will never do a thing in the future in a humanitarian way, now is the time to do just this one thing. Do something; send this letter out to as many people as you can. That’s all I am asking, get this data out, please.
