Moderate earthquake in Eastern Turkey (Van) – Cracked buildings in several villages

Last update: June 13, 2013 at 8:19 am by By

This quake is given with Magnitude 4.6 by Turkish authorities. According to Turkish news agencies, medical teams who are working in Van district reported minor cracks to a couple of houses in different villages close to the epicenter. They are currently checking the affected areas for larger damage. So far there are no reports of injuries.
The Turkish Van province was hit by a devasting M 7.1 quake in October 2011, killing hundreds of people. Since then this region is regulary affected by weak to moderate aftershocks, which sometimes generated minor damage.

Your Color Vibe for June 13

Posted on by

Thursday, June 13:    Yellow Green

Pay attention to your physicalities today as they will be giving you messages.  Listen well for the messages are coming on many different levels.  At the present time, the energies are dragging through with them some elements of other dimensions.  As a result you might be seeing things, hearing things, feeling things that have no source in the regular 3D.  As the energies shift and churn, there are more and more hints of where you are going coming in towards you.  Be open to these.  You are needing to learn some new things.  They will be like tools, even weapons, to assist you as the times grow more turbulent.  Today brings synchronicity and the hints of greater joy to come.  Take time to relish in those moments.  They will relax and renew you in ways so many other things cannot do anymore.

“I’ve learned that the beloved that I’ve been seeking outside is within me. All my grief and sorrow is a failure to connect with the divine in me. I am whole and complete. I have the ability to create heaven on earth.”

She is a world renowned author, pioneer and visionary illuminating women all over the world to flourish with her health expertise and wisdom. She has more than 4.4 million books in print, in 24 languages. She has also hosted seven highly successful public-television specials, beginning in 1998. Her latest is based on the newly revised edition of Women’s Bodies, Women’s Wisdom and first aired nationwide in June 2010.

She has been featured on The Oprah Winfrey Show, the Today Show, NBC Nightly News, The View, Rachael Ray, Good Morning America, 20/20, and The Dr. Oz Show. I especially admired her on a health documentary called “Hungry for Change”. It is truly an honor and a dream alike to have been given a chance to speak with such a beautiful soul, Dr. Christiane Northrup, today on Soulspeak.

Who is Dr. Christiane Northrup?
Dr. Christiane Northrup is a brand new version of herself. All or parts of me from my birth to age 4 went into hiding…

I am an OB Gyn, a visionary, a pioneer in wholeness and health.

I have created a new language of women’s health… I’m at a brand new beginning. I am a dancer, a goddess, a joyful being in addition to being a healer and doctor. My sense of childlike wonder and joy are very important to me now. But they are solidly routed in the reality of being at the bedside of women in the very throes of everything from death and pain to birth and joy. I know the human experience in all its glory, all its sorrows. I choose to dance anyway because doing so is part of the healing of the entire planet.

Is this something you saw yourself doing, even as a child?
No, absolutely not. I never thought I’d be a doctor.

I was drawn to the harp, to nature divas and ballerinas. It was an extraordinary foundation for me- very unlike the way medicine is taught and practiced– as though it’s separate from nature and energy and spirit.

You work a lot with women. Tell me about your experience with men and their own healing.
The beauty of my experience with men is being able to understand the depth of their love and devotion. To see that the woundedness of women adversely affects the wholeness of men. That they will die for a devotion, for an idea…. The thing that keeps them going is to serve the goddess.

By being who I am and helping the women in men’s lives, I am helping to heal men.

Men want to be heroes, We as women can help uplift them and make them heroes.

It is time we know how powerful a woman is in a man’s life. If she stays steady to her own divinity, sexuality, a man can be elevated to his full stature, by a woman who believes in him.

We have a whole planet that is raped and wounded. The only way out is a path that includes delight and pleasure- as well as being “wiling” to release the pain.

People ask each other “How are you fighting violence?” I’m not going to fight it, because what you fight gets bigger. You have to surrender to the joy and pleasure but first you have to grieve for what you have lost, grieve for what hasn’t been because at the end of it is, in the words of Buddhist nun Pema Chodron– A BIG BLUE SKY. All these near death experiences let us know the truth about who we really are. It is our nature to be childlike and joyful.

What have you learned from yourself lately?
I’ve learned that the beloved that I’ve been seeking outside is within me. All my grief and sorrow is a failure to connect with the divine in me. I am whole and complete. I have the ability to create heaven on earth.

I also learned that I love Argentine Tango. I surrender to that. I’ve learned to dance my own dance and simply let go of the what the mind tells me. Our mind is a bad neighborhood. I learned that God comes through us as us. It took me 45 years to know this.

I’ve also learned that we choose families that challenge us to see how God comes through us.

Tell me about “Hungry for Change”. What do you love most about this movie?
The filmmakers are an adorable and beautiful couple from Australia. What I love most about this movie is that it talks about the spiritual nature of the diet. That self love is the solution to the pain you have been carrying all your life. The fact that everyone in the movie had been either very ill or morbidly obese and lived to talk about it from a place of true healing.

Jon Gabriel, he was very inspiring to me. When he talked about being 400 pounds and losing all that excess weight. It was amazing. He reminds me of Archangel Gabriel. He really is an angel. People like Jon, it’s like they come here and take on these physical bodies and put on all that weight and then they realize that this is what they came here to do… heal, and transform their lives… And when someone like that transforms it’s just wonderful.

Any regrets?
My one regret is that I wish I had known about orgasmic pleasurable birth when I was giving birth to my children. I would still have walked out of the hospital the same day like I did with both births. I might even have had home births. I have no other regrets.

What is LOVE?
Love for me is a feeling in my chest and in my heart that makes my entire body uplifted and tingly. Right between weeping, and laughing. It is the substance that binds the universe together and it does not require anything. Love is unconditional.

Your ONE MESSAGE to the world.
You have the power of creation itself within your heart. You can trust your dreams. You can trust your desires. You can trust what you are naturally drawn to. Don’t let anyone let you think differently because they will try. For every test you survive you will get stronger. You are stronger.

Euthanasia For Children in Belgium?

Belgium: ‘Another step towards euthanasia for children’

10 June 2013
Presseurop

De Morgen

De Morgen, 10 June 2013

In the wake of several months of testimony from doctors and experts in medical ethics, a Belgian Senate committee will on June 12 examine the possible extension of the country’s euthanasia law to include children.

“On both sides of the linguistic border, liberals and socialists appear to agree on the fact that age should not be regarded as a decisive criteria in the event of a request for euthanasia,” notes De Morgen. They want doctors to decide on a minor’s capacity for discernment on a case by case basis.

The daily points out that the Christian Democrats may not approve the change, but the Flemish nationalists of the N-VA have said they are ready to vote in favour of the proposal to ensure that it is backed by a majority.

FDA Approves GMO Flu Vaccine With Reprogrammed Insect Virus

Posted: June 11th, 2013 ˑ Filled under: Science, Social Platform ˑ  0 Comments and 0 Reactions

FDA_13

A new vaccine for influenza has hit the market, and it is the first ever to contain genetically-modified (GM) proteins derived from insect cells. According to reports, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) recently approved the vaccine, known as Flublok, which contains recombinant DNA technology and an insect virus known as baculovirus that is purported to help facilitate the more rapid production of vaccines.

According to Flublok’s package insert, the vaccine is trivalent, which means it contains GM proteins from three different flu strains. The vaccine’s manufacturer, Protein Sciences Corporation (PSC), explains that Flublok is produced by extracting cells from the fall armyworm, a type of caterpillar, and genetically altering them to produce large amounts of hemagglutinin, a flu virus protein that enables the flu virus itself to enter the body quickly.

So rather than have to produce vaccines the “traditional” way using egg cultures, vaccine manufacturers will now have the ability to rapidly produce large batches of flu virus protein using GMOs, which is sure to increase profits for the vaccine industry. But it is also sure to lead to all sorts of serious side effects, including the deadly nerve disease Guillain-Barre Syndrome (GSB), which is listed on the shot as a potential side effect.

“If Guillain-Barre Syndrome (GBS) has occurred within six weeks of receipt of a prior influenza vaccine, the decision to give Flublock should be based on careful consideration of the potential benefits and risks,” explains a section of the vaccine’s literature entitled “Warnings and Precautions.” Other potential side effects include allergic reactions, respiratory infections, headaches, fatigue, altered immunocompetence, rhinorrhea, and myalgia.

According to clinical data provided by PSC in Flublok’s package insert, two study participants actually died during trials of the vaccine. But the company still insists Flublok is safe and effective, and that it is about 45 percent effective against all strains of influenza in circulation, rather than just one or two strains.

FDA also approves flu vaccine containing dog kidney cells

Back in November, the FDA also approved a new flu vaccine known as Flucelvax that is actually made using dog kidney cells. A product of pharmaceutical giant Novartis, Flucelvax also does away with the egg cultures, and can similarly be produced much more rapidly than traditional flu vaccines, which means vaccine companies can have it ready and waiting should the federal government declare a pandemic.

Like Flublok, Flucelvax was made possible because of a $1 billion, taxpayer-funded grant given by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) to the vaccine industry back in 2006 to develop new manufacturing methods for vaccines. The ultimate goal is to be able to quickly manufacture hundreds of millions of vaccines for rapid distribution.

Meanwhile, there are reportedly two other GMO flu vaccines currently under development. One of them, which is being produced by Novavax, will utilize “bits of genetic material grown in caterpillar cells called ‘virus-like particles’ that mimic a flu virus,” according to Reuters.

GM Foods, Animals, & Safety

Study Shows Animals Are Seriously Harmed By Eating GM Crops

Posted: June 12th, 2013

Researchers with Genetically Modified Corn

A ground-breaking study, published today, June 12, 2013 (1), shows that animals are harmed by the consumption of feed containing genetically modified (GM) crops.

The research results were striking, showing that the weight of the uterus in GM-fed pigs was on average 25% higher than in the control group of pigs. The finding was biologically and statistically significant. Also, the level of severe inflammation in stomachs was markedly higher in pigs fed on the GM diet. These animals were 2.6 times more likely to get severe stomach inflammation than control pigs. While 22% of male pigs and 42% of female pigs on the GM diet had this condition, when these pigs were compared to pigs on the control diet, it was found that male pigs were actually more strongly affected. While female pigs were 2.2 times more likely to get severe stomach inflammation when on the GM diet, males were 4 times more likely. These findings are both biologically significant and statistically significant.

The research was conducted by collaborating investigators from two continents and published in the peer-reviewed Journal of Organic Systems. The feeding study lasted more than five months and was conducted in the US. 168 newly-weaned pigs in a commercial piggery were fed either a typical diet incorporating GM soy and corn (2), or else (in the control group) an equivalent non-GM diet. The pigs were reared under identical housing and feeding conditions. They were slaughtered over 5 months later, at their usual slaughter age, after eating the diets for their entire commercial lifespan. They were then autopsied by qualified veterinarians who worked “blind” – they were not informed which pigs were fed on the GM diet and which were from the control group.

The research was undertaken because farmers have for some years been reporting reproductive and digestive problems in pigs fed on a diet containing GM soy and corn (3). Farmers have seen a reduced ability to conceive and higher rates of miscarriage in piggeries where sows have been fed on a GM diet, and a reduction in the number of piglets born if boars were used for conception rather than artificial insemination. There is also evidence of a higher rates of intestinal problems in pigs fed a GM diet, including inflammation of the stomach and small intestine, stomach ulcers, a thinning of intestinal walls and an increase in haemorrhagic bowel disease, where a pig can rapidly “bleed-out” from its bowel and die.

Much of the previously anecdotal evidence from within the pig-farming industry is now confirmed by this new study, linking the symptoms observed by farmers and veterinarians with obvious and statistically significant physiological damage in pigs at the age of slaughter.

Farmer and livestock advisor Howard Vlieger, one of the initiators and coordinators of the study, was not surprised by the results documented by the veterinarians. He said: “For as long as GM crops have been in the feed supply, we have seen increasing digestive and reproductive problems in animals. Now it is scientifically documented. In my experience, farmers have experienced increased production costs and have seen escalating antibiotic use when feeding GM crops. In some operations, the livestock death loss is high, and there are unexplained problems including spontaneous abortions, deformities of newborn animals, and an overall listlessness and lack of contentment in the animals. In some cases, animals eating GM crops are very aggressive. This is not surprising, given the scale of stomach irritation and inflammation now documented. In short, I have seen no financial benefit to farmers who feed GM crops to their animals.”

Lead researcher Dr Judy Carman (4) said: “Our findings are of huge significance for several reasons. First, we have found these results using real-world conditions that don’t occur in a laboratory. Second, we have used pigs. Pigs with these health problems end up in our food supply. We eat them. Also, pigs have a very similar digestive system to people, so we need to investigate if people are getting similar digestive problems from eating GM crops. Third, we found these adverse effects when we fed the animals a mixture of crops containing three GM genes and the GM proteins that these genes produce. That is, we observed the combined effects of these GM proteins on health. These proteins may be acting synergistically to cause these effects. Yet no food regulator requires a safety assessment for synergistic effects. Regulators simply assume that they can’t happen. Our results provide clear evidence that regulators need to safety assess GM crops containing mixtures of GM genes, regardless of whether those genes occur in the one GM plant or in a mixture of GM plants eaten in the same meal, even if regulators have already assessed GM plants containing single GM genes in the mixture.”

Well, you could come out smelling like a rose but especially if you stay true to WHO you are in all you do today.  There are going to be some challenges coming along that will put you in a situation in which you might try to ‘psych’ out the right answer or the proper response.  Forget about it.  (As they say in NYC.)  Do what is right for you.  So many things do not matter anymore.  You need to remember that there are a lot of people out there who are not hearing what you say anyhow.  For them, it is just the “Blah, blah, blah,” like in the Charlie Brown cartoons.  So why not go for what you believe in and let the chips fall as they may.  You can be incredibly amazed by the responses you will get.  Oh, and there is something you had been waiting for and it can come today if you just go ahead and speak your truth.
