Calling all Lightworkers, Warriors, Lighthouses, and Grounders! The time is finally upon us to spring into action! This is the time we have all been waiting for. It is time to suit up to perform the greatest feat ever in our Universe. We have heard these words before and we have all shown up to hear them once again. This time our suit of armor is our power to stand together as one and to voice our manifestation intention to bring the New Earth into our reality.

Before now, Lightworkers have had varied roles in preparation for 2014. Some have been Warriors of the truth- exposing and fighting the government lies, false flag attacks, and depopulation agendas. Some have been great bearers of light, standing tall like Lighthouses, attracting those who chose to awaken in order to help them grow their own light within. Some have focused on grounding the healing energies coming to us from the Great Central Sun of Alcyone into the planet You're right. Maybe I should just accept things the way they are... said no truth seeker ever.and into the grid system. Some of us have worked on a little of everything. All of us have been so passionate about what we are doing that we have been focused on what we thought was right and it has sometimes caused rifts between us as to where the most focus should be.

Light Warriors relentlessly uncovered and exposed horrible things happening on this planet, continuously focusing on death disease and destruction.  Some of them got a little frustrated with other Lightworkers who they felt just weren’t doing enough exposing and focusing on the darkness. Some of the Lighthouses faulted the Warriors for focusing too much on what we do not want to see on the planet. The Grounders got lost in nature and bliss, not caring what the warriors and lighthouses were doing, for it felt so good to be home.

All groups of lightworkers were needed to get us to where we are now. One group is not any more important than another group. The planet has been run for thousands of years by a group of fallen Anunnaki (we will call them the Fallen A’s) that have wanted to control planet Earth in order to keep it for themselves. The big difference in the Fallen A’s in control and the lightworkers in human form is the Fallen A’s worked together as a group with one single goal in mind- complete service to self control of the planet via mind control, chemical weapons, financial monarchy, and depopulation.

We now see how the lightworkers have been divided and most of the division was caused by New Age disinformation propaganda and paid “schills” who tried to discredit everything that would bring us together. For the past several years, tricksters made their way into channeled messages to being that one bit of misinformation that would make us all begin to discredit and question what is really happening. This includes the timeline agenda of 2012 and any timeline agenda after that, for the event will happen when we make it happen. Many Lightworkers were interfered with using off world technology that affected our brains and our physical bodies in general.

We are the multidimensional beings of the light that we have been waiting for

We all have a higher aspect of ourselves somewhere out there in spaceships, on another planet, or sitting in the Universe shining brightly as a star. Our souls are too big to move down into the third dimensional denseness- it is too compact, so we had to send sparks of ourselves. We have a soul family in the macrocosm that is reflected in the microcosm here on the planet as incarnated humans. We also have spirit guides and angels with us from our soul family helping us along this difficult path. We have aspects from our monad that are from the “past” and the “future” that are being healed and are merging with us in the “now” here on the planet, in our spiritual bodies. Our army is immense, and we have all been trying to figure out what it is we are supposed to do to end this battle with these dis-compassionate Fallen A’s once and for all. It is time to unite all aspects of ourselves and to call upon our Galactic family to spring into action.

The term “we are the ones we have been waiting for” may have been a little confusing in the past. It seems to infer that as multidimensional beings incarnated into human form, that the human for will be the one to once and for all bring the Fallen A’s down through peaceful protest and through peaceful non-compliance. While this is partly true, we haven’t seen the big shift yet as to how we can truly stop adhering to governmental control and guidelines since they control every aspect of living. Many have tried to start new financial systems that will break free of the shackles and cause the financial collapse in the U.S.- however it seems to keep running on thin air. We have all been waiting for the one big thing to occur that will allow us to stand in our power in order to take back our freedom.

People of planet earth, we cannot take down this Fallen A government and financial tyrannist sect just as humans. We must merge with our higher existence- thus the term “ascension” was coined and we  have been doing our “work” to prepare ourselves for the shifts in vibration that we have been experiencing. So to further explain the term “we are the ones we have been waiting for”, we must understand that we have to call on our Galactic family- our space brothers and sisters, the ascended masters, the aspects of our monads in the past and the future, our spirit guides and angels, and whatever other terms we use for our higher beings and the oneness. They are all us, we are all of them. They are patiently waiting on us to do this because they can only interfere to a certain point in keeping with Universal Law in order to keep the planet from being blown up without our free will request for assistance.

We incarnated into physical form to be able to use our free will to voice our desire to end the tyranny and control of this planet. That is what we all came here to do, and we can accomplish this in 2014.

Earth is being showered by pulses of galactic high vibrational energy from Source to Alcyone to our sun

In the latter part of December and the beginning of the New Year, the bursts coming to Earth from our sun have risen from an estimated 50 per day to over 500 per day. The Fallen A’s have no idea of the immense power of this energy because they cannot experience it. They are like robots on auto pilot and are not attuned to the changes, even though they have been told what is coming. They do know something is really, really wrong and they are showing their confusion with every move they make.

The end of 2013 and the beginning of 2014 was the final clearing and preparation for the way showers to stand in their remembrance of this task and of the power that they all hold together. Yes, this could have been achieved earlier, however, it has been a tricky awakening and our galactic family had a bit of housekeeping to do. The top hierarchy of the Fallen A’s are being rounded up and are standing “trial” in front of galactic councils and will be accountable for what they have done. Their puppets are left with broken strings and have lost their energetic connection to the negative emotional pool of energies that have been farmed from the Noosphere. They are flopping around like fish out of water and are basically hanging themselves.

Yes, the U.S. economy will collapse eventually, but it is time to bring it down with the help of our family in order to make the smooth transition into the higher vibrations of the New Earth rather than simply watching the Fallen A’s painfully hang themselves while intentionally taking out as many humans as possible in the process. Too many people are suffering and the situation has gotten to the point of disaster with Fukushima and chemtrails.  Their sick and twisted goal has even included helping the financial collapse before our very eyes the hard way- making millions suffer and starve in the process.

Although it truly has seemed hopeless, there is a solution, and it is in place. Our galactic family has the technology to pass to us that can clean up the environmental disasters. They have a sound financial system ready to implement that can be run by the people that will eventually turn into a bartering system. There are many people on the planet qualified to form councils of elders that can be voted in and out in according to the people’s wishes. The mainstream media can be freed and the rest of humanity can learn in a blink of an eye what has been done to them. Holistic healthcare practitioners can begin to heal people and big pharma will quickly be a thing of the past. The oil and gas companies will rush into manufacturing of free energy devices and the automobile industry will begin to bring forth the most exciting free energy cars of all time. We can correct our soils and grow organic food once again. Our water will be safe to drink right out of the tap. The whole world really can change very rapidly if we want it to.

All we have to do is ask. We are in essence giving ourselves and our Galactic family permission to move forward. By asking, we are exercising our free will.

Many people are still trying to get used to the concept that we can co- create our reality. They are disillusioned by focusing on what is in front of their eyes. Even some lightworkers are lost in depression or have closed the curtains to the outside world because it was too frightening for their kind hearts to handle. There has been an erroneous statement spread like wildfire that “no one is coming to save us”.  Does this statement really feel right? There are millions of UFO’s cloaked all over the planet! Many are showing themselves to us and there are more videos than ever available in the internet and even on mainstream media in other countries outside of the U.S..

We have been led down a rabbit hole in thinking we have to win this battle do this as humans with our hands tied behind our backs.  The suffering is over. We must be the ones to ask, or command our aspects of us and our galactic family to end this now. The command had to come from the human heart. The spokes on the wheels have aligned in the cosmos and the door has opened for us to be heard.

The way we will free the planet is with a form of affirmation- prayer, meditation, or intention; whatever form you use for manifestation. Ground, invoke the light, and ASK YOUR HIGHER ESSENCE TO HELP HUMANITY MOVE FORWARD WITH THE DEMISE OF SYSTEM AND THE HEALING OF THE DAMAGE DONE TO THE PLANET. Verbalize or write it down and burn it.  You are masters, you know how to do this and you know what will have the most power. We do not have to all meditate at the same “time” for the ritual that we are performing is in alignment with our higher selves in the now. Do it whenever you feel you are ready and do it as much as you feel you need to. We have already won the battle in the now.

We The Masters will now manifest ourselves into the New Earth and we will celebrate the ease with which we will pass along a thousand years or more of peace and prosperity to our lineage, and we will become ambassadors in the Cosmos. From the now, we will heal our past and our future selves. We will teach how to free other planets from domination and control and how to live in peace and love. We will reunite with our galactic families within our consciousness and will use our Stargate codes within our bodies to travel the Universe, all while existing as a light bodied human here on planet Earth. We are multidimensional, multivibrational beings, and it is time to explore our wholeness again.

It may or may not be time for the spaceships to land for full disclosure. Would you want to land in this chaos? It really is not necessary now, for the majority of the human population would probably handle it out of fear. The ground crew is in place- we are here. We need space to be free to be who we are and to expand into it. Our Galactic family can help to give us the last push we need to get there, allowing us fight fire with fire. Go within your heart and unlock the key to your power. Use the voice within to shout out to the Universe- “WE ARE AWAKE, AND WE ARE FREE”!

On Mindful Living

Posted on by

Why 2014 Will Be The Year Of Mindful Living

The Huffington Post  |  By Posted: 01/02/2014 9:06 am EST  |  Updated: 01/02/2014 2:38 pm EST

Meditation Class

Mindfulness, it seems, is having a moment. 2013 saw a significant spike of interest in holistic health and mindfulness practices like yoga and meditation (not to mention a number of celebrities and CEOs hopping on the mindfulness bandwagon) and it’s a trend that will likely continue to gain momentum in 2014.

“What the culture is craving is a sense of ease and reflection, of not needing to be stimulated or entertained or going after something constantly,” Soren Gordhamer, founder of the Wisdom 2.0 conference, told the New York Times. “Nobody’s kicking out technology, but we have to regain our connection to others and to nature or else everybody loses.”

Here are five reasons that mindfulness will change the world this upcoming year.

Trendspotters are going all in for 2014.

2014

According to JWT Worldwide, one of the world’s largest marketing communications brands, 2014 will be characterized by a movement toward mindful living. A number of the items on JWT’s “100 Things to Watch for in 2014” list reflect a growing interest in mindfulness — that is, the cultivation of a focused awareness on the present moment — and mindful living was named one of 10 trends that will shape the world in 2014 and beyond.

“Mindfulness is part of a much larger trend we’ve been observing called mindful living,” Ann Mack, director of trendspotting at JWT, told the Huffington Post. “It’s kind of a counter-trend to the past decade of overly stimulated, ADD-afflicted, tech-saturated culture that we’ve been living in. What was once the domain of the spiritual set has filtered into the mainstream as more people are drawn to this idea of shutting out distractions and focusing on the moment.”

Related trends forecasted on JWT’s 2014 list include “survival of the focused,” “rage against the machine” — a movement characterized by a fear and resentment of technology, and desire for more human experiences — and mindfulness in the classroom.

But just because mindfulness has been labeled a trend, don’t expect the movement to fizzle out any time soon.

“[Mindful living] has staying power, because our world is only going to become more saturated with technology, and therefore people have to find ways to counteract that,” says Mack. “We’re reassessing our relationship with technology. Over the last decade, we’ve allowed technology to rule us. Now we’re trying to be more mindful in the way we use technology and find more balance.”

People are Googling it like crazy.

It’s a movement that began gaining steam in 2013, making headlines around the web — from Rupert Murdoch’s announcement that he was taking up Transcendental Meditation to the University of Wisconsin’s groundbreaking finding that mindfulness meditation actually alters gene expression in the body — and searches for the term soared on Google (see chart below).


Major corporations are getting on board.

Silicon Valley may be at least partially responsible for turning mindfulness from a niche New Age practice to a pop culture buzzword. In November, a New York Times Magazine cover story profiled the “hunger to get centered” and influx of mindfulness practices in the tech world and beyond.

“It seems counterintuitive, since technology is perhaps the biggest driver of mindlessness and distraction… but the drive to mindfulness is becoming more prominent in places were tech immersion is more prominent,” says Mack. “A lot of Silicon Valley companies, for instance, are banning technology during meetings in an effort to reign in focus.”

Google even offers its employees a program called Search Inside Yourself (SIY), a mindfulness-based emotional intelligence training program. Chade-Meng Tan, the program’s founder and author of “Search Inside Yourself,” told the Huffington Post that mindfulness can help build compassion, which can be beneficial to not only individuals and community, but also to corporate bottom lines.

“The one thing [that all companies should be doing] is promoting the awareness that compassion can and will be good for success and profits,” said Tan.

Leaders are identifying themselves with it.

A number of high-powered executives — from LinkedIn’s Jeff Weiner to the late Steve Jobs to Oprah — have touted meditation as their secret to success. Even several years ago, you’d never expect to hear a billionaire hedge fund founder admit to meditating daily, but it’s becoming a lot more common.

“Meditation more than anything in my life was the biggest ingredient of whatever success I’ve had,” Bridgewater Associates founder Ray Dalio claimed, while Oprah has said that meditation helps her to create her best work and best life.

Science has proven it’s worth the hype.

mindfulness study

Mounting research on the physical and mental health benefits of mindfulness has contributed to and helped to legitimize this growing interest in meditative practice. Recent studies have linked mindfulness with emotional stability and improved sleep, increased focus and memory, enhanced creativity, and lower stress levels, among a host of other positive health outcomes.

Time to Rethink the Gum You Chew

Posted on by

Chew Gum? You Definitely Need to Read This

Dec 30

by MARCO TORRES

gum sqIf you are still purchasing chewing gum from conventional manufacturers, STOP TODAY! Don’t buy another pack or even chew another piece until you read this report. The following is a comprehensive list of major brands to avoid due to their toxic formulations containing the two very deadly sweeteners aspartame and sucralose.

When heated to 86 degrees Fahrenheit (human mouth = 98.6 degrees Fahrenheit) — aspartame releases free methanol that breaks down into formic acid and formaldehyde in the body. 

Monsanto, the creator of Aspartame knows all about the dangers. They fund the American Diabetics Association, the Conference of the American College of Physicians and Congress. A recent report from businessweek showed that Monsanto spent $2 million dollars lobbying the U.S. government in the 3rd quarter of 2011 alone.

Many bills that have attempted to warn people about the dangers of aspartame have been killed off by the powerful drug and chemical lobbies, letting loose the hounds of disease and death on an unsuspecting public.

Aspartame in gum is absorbed by the buccal mucosa of the mouth, gums, and the tongue. According to research, because aspartame is absorbed this way, it makes aspartame a far worse poisoning than if given or injected intravenously. The aspartame goes directly into the brain by passing the spinal cord and the blood-brain barrier when it is absorbed in the mouth. The smallest amount of aspartame (like what is contained in a piece of gum) is very dangerous and damaging to the health of the body.

When aspartame is ingested into the digestive tract, it breaks down into numerous other poisons. The intact Aspartame molecule and its diketopiperazine form are vastly worse poisonings than any of the other poisonings which arise from it during digestion, and liver processing of the digestive blood, which is delivered directly to the liver via the portal vein. The other poisonings, as mentioned, are indeed horrendous but Aspartame from gum is far worse, making even the smaller amounts contained in chewing gum strikingly dangerous and damaging.

Aspartame, via ingestion into the digestive tract, is made into some ten other poisonings by the digestive processes, and then excepting that which is delivered directly to the pancreas, they are transported straight to the liver via the portal vein, where they then are very partially dealt with, and partially reprocessed. Afterwards, they are sent in somewhat lesser concentration to the entire body, lessening the amount which eventually goes to the brain. The amount getting to the brain from either source is devastating to it in many ways. Aspartame is most certainly devastatingly toxic when ingested, but a like amount is immensely worse when obtained from chewing gum.

If you’d like to avoid aspartame, please keep in mind that it’s not only in chewing gum. It is a common ingredient in many packaged foods and beverages, particularly those that are marketed as being sugar-free or low in calories. Examples include sugar-free or low calorie:

* Yogurt
* Chewing gum
* Soft drinks
* Cookies and candy bars that are made for diabetics
* Frozen desserts
* Artificial sweeteners
* Cough candies, drops, and syrups
* Chewable vitamins

A tsunami of bad publicity and ground root outcry has destroyed the public acceptance of aspartame and the sales are in the toilet. Netherlands producer, Holland Sweetener closed its doors and in the USA Merisant, went bankrupt a year ago for $230 million. Aspartame set an all time high in volunteered consumer complaints to the USA’s Food and Drug Administration (FDA), which once published a list of 92 reactions to it including 4 types of seizures, blindness and death. Yahoo lists 7 million aspartame sites, overwhelmingly condemnatory.

Aspartame is now set to change its name to AminoSweet. With that alias, again they intend to fool us, sicken us and murder us. They will have to buy enough advertising, bribe enough phoney “experts” and use corrupt front organizations to endorse their junk. Crime will march on and aspartame, not to be called aspartame, will retain that dear toxicity which it owns without that title.

WHAT IS ASPARTAME? 

Aspartame, also marketed as Nutrasweet, Spoonful, Canderel and Equal as well as being a common additive in many foods and drinks (sometimes shown as the E number E951), is quite simply a poisonous sugar replacement.

It is made up of three chemicals: Aspartic acid, phenylalanine, and methanol.

Aspartic Acid (40 percent of aspartame)

Dr. Russell L. Blaylock, a professor of neurosurgery at the Medical University of Mississippi, recently published a book thoroughly detailing the damage that is caused by the ingestion of excessive aspartic acid from aspartame. Blaylock makes use of almost 500 scientific references to show how excess free excitatory amino acids such as aspartic acid and glutamic acid (about 99 percent of monosodium glutamate (MSG) is glutamic acid) in our food supply are causing serious chronic neurological disorders and a myriad of other acute symptoms.

Aspartate and glutamate act as neurotransmitters in the brain by facilitating the transmission of information from neuron to neuron. Too much aspartate or glutamate in the brain kills certain neurons by allowing the influx of too much calcium into the cells. This influx triggers excessive amounts of free radicals, which kill the cells. The neural cell damage that can be caused by excessive aspartate and glutamate is why they are referred to as “excitotoxins.” They “excite” or stimulate the neural cells to death.

Aspartic acid is an amino acid. Taken in its free form (unbound to proteins) it significantly raises the blood plasma level of aspartate and glutamate. The excess aspartate and glutamate in the blood plasma shortly after ingesting aspartame or products with free glutamic acid (glutamate precursor) leads to a high level of those neurotransmitters in certain areas of the brain.

The blood brain barrier (BBB), which normally protects the brain from excess glutamate and aspartate as well as toxins, 1) is not fully developed during childhood, 2) does not fully protect all areas of the brain, 3) is damaged by numerous chronic and acute conditions, and 4) allows seepage of excess glutamate and aspartate into the brain even when intact.

The excess glutamate and aspartate slowly begin to destroy neurons. The large majority (75 percent or more) of neural cells in a particular area of the brain are killed before any clinical symptoms of a chronic illness are noticed. A few of the many chronic illnesses that have been shown to be contributed to by long-term exposure to excitatory amino acid damage include:

-Multiple sclerosis (MS)
-ALS
-Memory loss
-Hormonal problems
-Hearing loss
-Epilepsy
-Alzheimer’s disease
-Parkinson’s disease
-Hypoglycemia
-AIDS
-Dementia
-Brain lesions
-Neuroendocrine disorders

The risk to infants, children, pregnant women, the elderly and persons with certain chronic health problems from excitotoxins are great. Even the Federation of American Societies for Experimental Biology (FASEB), which usually understates problems and mimics the FDA party-line, recently stated in a review that:

“It is prudent to avoid the use of dietary supplements of L-glutamic acid by pregnant women, infants, and children. The existence of evidence of potential endocrine responses, i.e., elevated cortisol and prolactin, and differential responses between males and females, would also suggest a neuroendocrine link and that supplemental L-glutamic acid should be avoided by women of childbearing age and individuals with affective disorders.”

Phenylalanine (50 percent of aspartame)

Phenylalanine is an amino acid normally found in the brain. Persons with the genetic disorder phenylketonuria (PKU) cannot metabolize phenylalanine. This leads to dangerously high levels of phenylalanine in the brain (sometimes lethal). It has been shown that ingesting aspartame, especially along with carbohydrates, can lead to excess levels of phenylalanine in the brain even in persons who do not have PKU.

This is not just a theory, as many people who have eaten large amounts of aspartame over a long period of time and do not have PKU have been shown to have excessive levels of phenylalanine in the blood. Excessive levels of phenylalanine in the brain can cause the levels of seratonin in the brain to decrease, leading to emotional disorders such as depression. It was shown in human testing that phenylalanine levels of the blood were increased significantly in human subjects who chronically used aspartame.

Even a single use of aspartame raised the blood phenylalanine levels. In his testimony before the U.S. Congress, Dr. Louis J. Elsas showed that high blood phenylalanine can be concentrated in parts of the brain and is especially dangerous for infants and fetuses. He also showed that phenylalanine is metabolised much more effeciently by rodents than by humans.

One account of a case of extremely high phenylalanine levels caused by aspartame was recently published the “Wednesday Journal” in an article titled “An Aspartame Nightmare.” John Cook began drinking six to eight diet drinks every day. His symptoms started out as memory loss and frequent headaches. He began to crave more aspartame-sweetened drinks. His condition deteriorated so much that he experienced wide mood swings and violent rages. Even though he did not suffer from PKU, a blood test revealed a phenylalanine level of 80 mg/dl. He also showed abnormal brain function and brain damage. After he kicked his aspartame habit, his symptoms improved dramatically.

As Blaylock points out in his book, early studies measuring phenylalanine buildup in the brain were flawed. Investigators who measured specific brain regions and not the average throughout the brain notice significant rises in phenylalanine levels. Specifically the hypothalamus, medulla oblongata, and corpus striatum areas of the brain had the largest increases in phenylalanine. Blaylock goes on to point out that excessive buildup of phenylalanine in the brain can cause schizophrenia or make one more susceptible to seizures.

Therefore, long-term, excessive use of aspartame may provid a boost to sales of seratonin reuptake inhibitors such as Prozac and drugs to control schizophrenia and seizures.

Methanol (aka wood alcohol/poison) (10 percent of aspartame) 

Methanol/wood alcohol is a deadly poison. Some people may remember methanol as the poison that has caused some “skid row” alcoholics to end up blind or dead. Methanol is gradually released in the small intestine when the methyl group of aspartame encounter the enzyme chymotrypsin.

The absorption of methanol into the body is sped up considerably when free methanol is ingested. Free methanol is created from aspartame when it is heated to above 86 Fahrenheit (30 Centigrade). This would occur when aspartame-containing product is improperly stored or when it is heated (e.g., as part of a “food” product such as Jello).

Methanol breaks down into formic acid and formaldehyde in the body. Formaldehyde is a deadly neurotoxin. An EPA assessment of methanol states that methanol “is considered a cumulative poison due to the low rate of excretion once it is absorbed. In the body, methanol is oxidized to formaldehyde and formic acid; both of these metabolites are toxic.” They recommend a limit of consumption of 7.8 mg/day. A one-liter (approx. 1 quart) aspartame-sweetened beverage contains about 56 mg of methanol. Heavy users of aspartame-containing products consume as much as 250 mg of methanol daily or 32 times the EPA limit.

Causes Cancer

Aspartame is a multi-potential carcinogen, even consumed daily at 20 milligrams per kilogram of body weight. That is a lower quantity than the maximum recommended by the FDA (50 mg/kg of body weight) and the European Union (40 mg/kg).

It increases the incidence of malignant tumours in rats. In the females it increases leukaemia and lymphomas, as well as cancerous cells in the pelvis and urethra. In the males, it especially increases the incidence of malignant tumours in peripheral nerves.

According to an investigation of cancer by the World Heath Organisation, the experimental study of carcinogenic agents in rats is very important for humans. One-third of the cancer-causing agents in man have been discovered with experiments conducted on animals.

The study of the doses correlated between the milligrams that were consumed and body weight. This tells us that the carcinogenic effect in children could be greater (because of their lower weight). The carcinogenic agents have a stronger effect on the embryo, which is why pregnant women are at greater risk.

WHAT IS SUCRALOSE? 

A report from scientists at Duke University demonstrated that the artificial sweetener Splenda (sucralose) and its key component sucralose pose a threat to the people who consume the product.

According to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, 11 to 27 percent of ingested sucralose is absorbed by the human body (FDA 1998). Research published by the manufacturer of sucralose (Roberts 2000) shows that when 8 healthy male adults where given sucralose (in 1 mg/kg amounts), between 10.4% and 30.6% of the sucralose was absorbed. In addition, 1.6% to 12.2% of the sucralose accumulates in the body.

 

Aspartame has been forced out by increasing public awareness that it is both a neurotoxin and an underlying cause of chronic illness worldwide. Dr. James Bowen, Researcher and biochemist, reports:

“Splenda/sucralose is simply chlorinated sugar; a chlorocarbon. Common chlorocarbons include carbon tetrachloride, trichlorethelene and methylene chloride, all deadly. Chlorine is nature’s Doberman attack dog, a highly excitable, ferocious atomic element employed as a biocide in bleach, disinfectants, insecticide, WWI poison gas and hydrochloric acid.

“Sucralose is a molecule of sugar chemically manipulated to surrender three hydroxyl groups (hydrogen + oxygen) and replace them with three chlorine atoms. Natural sugar is a hydrocarbon built around 12 carbon atoms. When turned into Splenda it becomes a chlorocarbon, in the family of Chlorodane, Lindane and DDT.

“It is logical to ask why table salt, which also contains chlorine, is safe while Splenda/sucralose is toxic? Because salt isn’t a chlorocarbon. When molecular chemistry binds sodium to chlorine to make salt carbon isn’t included. Sucralose and salt are as different as oil and water.

“Unlike sodium chloride, chlorocarbons are never nutritionally compatible with our metabolic processes and are wholly incompatible with normal human metabolic functioning. When chlorine is chemically reacted into carbon-structured organic compounds to make chlorocarbons, the carbon and chlorine atoms bind to each other by mutually sharing electrons in their outer shells. This arrangement adversely affects human metabolism because our mitochondrial and cellular enzyme systems are designed to completely utilize organic molecules containing carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen, and other compatible nutritional elements.

“By this process chlorocarbons such as sucralose deliver chlorine directly into our cells through normal metabolization. This makes them effective insecticides and preservatives. Preservatives must kill anything alive to prevent bacterial decomposition.”

Dr. Bowen believes ingested chlorocarbon damage continues with the formation of other toxins: “Any chlorocarbons not directly excreted from the body intact can cause immense damage to the processes of human metabolism and, eventually, our internal organs. The liver is a detoxification organ which deals with ingested poisons. Chlorocarbons damage the hepatocytes, the liver’s metabolic cells, and destroy them.

In test animals Splenda produced swollen livers, as do all chlorocarbon poisons, and also calcified the kidneys of test animals in toxicity studies. The brain and nervous system are highly subject to metabolic toxicities and solvency damages by these chemicals. Their high solvency attacks the human nervous system and many other body systems including genetics and the immune function. Thus, chlorocarbon poisoning can cause cancer, birth defects, and immune system destruction. These are well known effects of Dioxin and PCBs which are known deadly chlorocarbons.”

Dr. Bowen continues: “Just like aspartame, which achieved marketplace approval by the Food and Drug Administration when animal studies clearly demonstrated its toxicity, sucralose also failed in clinical trials with animals. Aspartame created brain tumors in rats. Sucralose has been found to shrink thymus glands (the biological seat of immunity) and produce liver inflammation in rats and mice.

“In the coming months we can expect to see a river of media hype expounding the virtues of Splenda/sucralose. We should not be fooled again into accepting the safety of a toxic chemical on the blessing of the FDA and saturation advertising. In terms of potential long-term human toxicity we should regard sucralose with its chemical cousin DDT, the insecticide now outlawed because of its horrendous long term toxicities at even minute trace levels in human, avian, and mammalian tissues.

Synthetic chemical sweeteners are generally unsafe for human consumption. This toxin was given the chemical name “sucralose” which is a play on the technical name of natural sugar, sucrose. One is not the other. One is food, the other is toxic; don’t be deceived.

Natural Alternatives – Aspartame/Sucralose Free Gum 

There are now several chewing gums free of aspartame and sucralose on the market. Some mainstream brands such as Chiclets and Bazooka claim to be aspartame free but still have toxic ingredients and colors. Zapp Gum is another alternative but it still has artificial flavour and toxic soy lecithin. Peppersmith is touted as an all natural gum but contains genetically modified rapeseed lecithin.

What you need to look for are chewing gums with no artificial preservatives, no artificial flavors, no artificial colors and no artificial sweeteners. Do they exist? Yes. Here are two brands but you can also make your own gum if you are up to the task:

Glee Gum is all-natural, gluten-free chewing gum with no artificial coloring, flavoring, sweeteners nor preservatives. Glee Gum is the only gum in North America made the old-fashioned way using chicle. Chicle is a natural tree sap harvested sustainably from the rainforests of Central America.

 Pur gum comes in a couple of different (and yummy) flavors, pomegranate mint, spearmint, and peppermint.

Happy Chewing!

Rethinking OTC & Prescription Painkillers

Avoid common painkillers and cold remedies that destroy your liver and more

Thursday, January 02, 2014 by: Paul Fassa

(NaturalNews) Do you know what over-the-counter pharmaceuticals Tylenol, Excedrin, NyQuil, Theraflu and prescription painkillers Vicoden and Percocet have in common? They all contain an ingredient that has forced almost 80,000 ER (emergency room) visits, 26,000 hospitalizations and around 500 deaths annually.

That ingredient is acetaminophen. Ironically, concern over liver damage has influenced some physicians to change patients over to more addictive OxyContin to avoid liver damage from long term use of prescribed painkillers that have acetaminophen as partial ingredients.

Most overdose cases have been accidental, often by using more than one pharmaceutical containing acetaminophen at the same time. Some have been intentionally self-destructive, as in suicidal.

But the fact remains that acetaminophen is a liver toxin. Those with liver conditions, such as hepatitis or fatty liver, should avoid acetaminophen products completely.

Acetaminophen toxicity from supposedly benign pain killers and cold remedies is the number one cause of acute liver failure in America. And acute liver failure is a one-way ticket to the great beyond (http://www.medpagetoday.com).

A Journal of the American Medical Association study has determined that even taking acetaminophen products as directed causes liver damage. With all the toxins in our environment that our livers and kidneys need to handle, we don’t need to damage either. (Source below)

Recently, it’s been discovered that mixing alcohol with acetaminophen pharmaceuticals could be more disastrous. That includes taking Tylenol or Excedrin to remedy hangover headaches the day after drinking too much. Not only is this a whammy on the liver, but it can also induce kidney disease, a double whammy cocktail for sure.

If one is spared from liver or kidney damage, long term use of acetaminophen pharmaceuticals can lead to non-Hodgkin lymphoma and a variety of blood cancers.

Studies have associated steady acetaminophen use with a twofold increased risk of hematologic malignancies (http://www.naturalnews.com).

Acetaminophen antidotes

Hospital emergency rooms are equipped with injectable, or IV, high-potency NAC (N-acetylcysteine) to protect the liver from acetaminophen poisoning by stimulating master antioxidant glutathione production in the liver. (Source below)

Acetaminophen depletes glutathione. If depleted too rapidly, the liver is overstressed to the point of acute liver failure. NAC supplements can be taken orally to increase or maintain your liver’s glutathione production.

If caught early enough, food-grade activated charcoal powder administered orally can remove acetaminophen toxins effectively. Some ER vehicles are equipped with food-grade activated charcoal powder for a variety of poison calls. Food-grade activated charcoal powder is an excellent first aid item to have on hand.

It’s inexpensive and can be used as a chelator for detoxing now and then for a couple of weeks at a time by mixing the powder in water and drinking it, which is more effective than using capsules (http://www.naturalnews.com).

But the best antidote is avoidance. Read those over-the-counter labels carefully. Those name-brand acetaminophen products have a few generics and spin-offs.

Peggy Black on Claiming Your Power

Posted on by

Claim Your Super Powers

Story by: Peggy Black

We greet you beloved as together we witness the dawning of the new age. This new age, this new reality of consciousness is being called forth by you. You are the instrument, the conscious voice, the frequency and the vibration that is bringing about tremendous change around the world. You may shake your head in disappointment when you examine the Earth as it is now, for there is deep dysfunction still entrenched in the world. Discord is still being perpetuated, especially by the media and those who run that aspect of reality; it is their focus upon this discord that engages the collective matrix, and anyone who is still engaged in their own separate polarity will anchor the discord.

This is your personal opportunity to step into your power. You are being called forth to anchor a different reality, in which there is harmony and well-being. We continue to encourage each individual to realize that you personally can hold the vision, the emotional frequency of a reality that supports all life.  It is this awareness within each awakened individual that is truly calling forth a world in which there is peace within the hearts and minds of the collective.

You are not powerless. You are truly powerful beyond measure. Step into that realization, allow yourself to just imagine, even pretend, that you have these superpowers that allow you to offer the collective the opportunity to heal. Imagine that you have the superpowers to transform any event occurring in your reality. These superpowers are always used only for the highest and the best for all concerned. This is where your mastery is being activated. This is where you claim your magnificence as a multidimensional being.

Each time you hear or see some disharmony, immediately offer the quantum field of all possibilities a new and different scenario. Just imagine you are a multidimensional editor of the production that is being projected on the screen of reality. Imagine you can re-write the script. Imagine that you can re-write the outcome of any event, in your personal life or in the collective.

How would you orchestrate the news broadcast if anything were possible? Allow yourself to expand into the realms of light and truth in which the entire broadcast would be news of outstanding new inventions that offer solutions to your environment’s well-being, or the announcement of a phenomenal new discovery in the healing of your physical form. Allow yourself to imagine feeling and even expressing the excitement of the extraordinary unfolding news of peace taking place upon your planet.

Realize that your news broadcast invites and offers an opportunity for you to focus on a different outcome.  Imagine you could shift the situation or event being reported. Using your clear and focused consciousness, see and feel this different solution, call forth the vision, the intention, and the healing energy of transformation. This is your opportunity to use your conscious skills and alchemical mastery to co-create a new reality.

Play with this possibility that you can call forth a more harmonious, more loving, more conscious experience. Imagine your relationship with your family and loved ones, perceive in this imaginary reality that they are engaging you in a loving, conscious and supportive manner and envision yourself responding in a more loving manner to them in return.

If you have any troubles or trauma in your past, picture yourself traveling along the time line and editing that experience. Make sure when you edit any experience that it is in the highest form of healing for all concerned. You can use sounds to shift and transform this experience.

This is where it all begins, in the field of energy, the quantum field of all possibility. Your personal power is holding the vision, as well as the vibration and frequency until it manifests in physical form. You call forth these changes with what you offer to your vision, by using your thoughts, words, beliefs and emotions. If it feels impossible to do this from your present situation, we invite you to pretend, and exercise your superpowers to change and reconstruct any situation.

There is an intense shift taking place within the hearts and minds of all humans; some are resisting, some are confused, and some are celebrating these changes. Each individual is awakening to their true connection to the collective consciousness, they are beginning to recognize that all is one. When you shift an attitude or belief, it is felt in the collective matrix.

When you envision and incorporate compassion, love and appreciation in your heart frequency, you are adding this to the collective consciousness. You are imprinting the quantum field with your personal vibration of compassion, love and appreciation. You are claiming your superpowers as a multidimensional starbeing. You are claiming your personal connection to the Divine Source as a true focus and anchor of transformational energy. You are calling forth a new reality. Your energy frequency and your visional vibration are joining others of like mind and heart. Once these visions of life-sustaining energy gather in the infinite field of creation they become form, they are made manifest.

Each time you send forth a vision, a desire that is generated from the chalice of your heart’s awareness, it goes forth and joins similar vibrations and frequencies. This becomes a force of change as your energy field calls forth and anchors a new paradigm.

We honor and celebrate who you are as conscious divine multidimensional starbeings. You are truly making a difference in the lives of others each time you send forth your blessings of peace and compassion, you are uplifting the collective consciousness.  Each time you envision a different and more life-sustaining outcome you are literally bringing your vision into the world. Do not be discouraged; conceptualize and hold your visions with conviction. Allow your sixth senses of knowing to emerge. Allow yourself to step into your superpowers of co-creating a better world.

Call forth support and assistance from the realms of Light and Love. Invite this divine presence and spirit in all its magnificence to join you in the transformation and healing of all that is before you. Know that you are loved beyond measure.

On Self Healing and Healthcare

The Future of Healthcare | In5D.com
The Future of Healthcare

Last updated on December 28, 2013 at 12:00 am EDT by in5d Alternative News

 

 

by Michelle Walling, CHLC

Planet Earth has healed herself and has shifted into a new vibration. She is patiently waiting for humanity to remember how to heal themselves and to join her on what has been labeled “New Earth”.  The body has known how to heal itself in the past and the future of healing will take on a whole new meaning. Imagine what the world will be like without disease, sickness, viruses, etc. That reality has already been created on the New Earth and it is up to us to manifest this into our reality.

In the time of Atlantis people visited the Temple Beautiful in order to regenerate and heal. The priestesses used crystal lasers that were programmed by the priests for healing, along with sound and color. The telomere, The Future of Healthcare | In5D.comthe biomarker for cellular marker for aging, was changed at the time of the fall of Atlantis. If the telomere were repaired, the body’s cells would regenerate themselves automatically, just like a lizard re-grows its tail. However humans always had the need to clear the body of energies because of the unique emotional body that we carry.

The future of the health and well being of humanity involves the remembrance of how to help the body heal itself. As we bring in more light, we raise our vibrational level and our dormant DNA is being activated. Because we are bringing more of our light essence as multidimensional beings into our physical bodies, intention is the key to standing in our self empowerment. The power of self healing is one of the most powerful gifts of returning to source that we can experience in physicality.

We have seen many forms of holistic healing emerge that include tools coupled with intention. According to Dr. Leonard Caldwell, there are over 300 holistic cures for cancer, and all cancer can be cured in less than 10 weeks. We are being reminded that every disease in the body is a manifestation of a negative energy in the emotional, spiritual, or mental body. Holistic healing involves the clearing of all of the energies in these three bodies in order to manifest perfection in the physical body.

The future of healthcare will bring about “walk in” clinics in your community where you can adjust your energy, clear your chakras, and receive counseling. Psychics can use their sixth sense in order to find out where you are carrying negative energy, and healers are available to help clear those energies. Counseling will uncover the situations that are leading you to carry these energies so that you can make better life choices in order to keep your energy fields clear. The main focus would be on teaching self healing and awareness.

In order for healers to be healers, they must first heal themselves. This takes work and is spelled out in the series “How to Ascend”. Once people heal themselves, it allows for the capability for others to help themselves heal, and in turn each one of us can help heal another. One turns into millions, then millions turns into billions. It all starts with the one. Everyone has healing capabilities.

A great example of self healing is shown in this story by Cindy Staffin*:

“On July 6, 2003, I took my mother to a popular gathering place on the lake to watch the fireworks.  Shortly after arriving I needed a bathroom, but the closest one was a mile away.  Under normal circumstances I would have been able to wait, but after two chemo treatments waiting would be difficult.  I eyed the woods nearby and although it had been years since I peed in the woods, it was my only option!

As we walked towards the woods, my inner guidance repeated, “Don’t go down there … don’t go down there.”  My reply was, “I don’t have time to get to a bathroom.  I’ll be extremely careful.”  “Don’t go down there, don’t go.”  Typically I would have stopped in my tracks and followed what my guidance was telling me.  But at that point my bladder was going to empty where I stood!

I walked down into the woods and did what I needed to do.  All of a sudden I was rolling down hill towards a 15’ drop off into the lake.  I could hear and feel what felt like my knee shattering.  Then suddenly I realized that I had started rolling uphill away from the water.  I heard Snap! Snap! Snap! As I watched my left leg swing through the air above me.  I knew I had injured my knee and broke my ankle in three places.  It was all very surreal and in slow motion.

I calmly called out to my mother to walk to the closest group of people and tell them that I needed an ambulance.  Then, as though I had done it a hundred times before, I held my hands up towards my leg and repeatedly chanted, “Back in time – back in time – back in time.”  It was getting really dark and I had started pulling myself up to the path while keeping time with my chant.

Some people had come to help me and were waiting to direct the ambulance. They were kind and compassionate and trying to have a conversation with me.   Although I was appreciative, it was all I could do to stay focused and keep chanting to myself.  Back in time, back in time….

The paramedic thought it was just a sprain since there was no swelling and she put a boot on my leg and off we went to the ER.  The pain was excruciating and I just wanted to scream.  But I kept still, calm and focused on reversing what had just happened.  I could hear the fireworks blasting and thundering as the ambulance moved slowly across the property filled with people.  I felt like a wounded soldier being transported through a war zone.

The ER doctor couldn’t tell the extent of the injuries from the x-ray, but he told me that surgery is common with similar fractures.  That’s when I heard a sound that seemed to come from miles away.  It was me screaming, NOOOOO!  I had reached my breaking point, pun intended, and I couldn’t hold it in any longer.

Two days later I had an appointment with an orthopedic surgeon.  More x-rays were taken and when the doctor came in to examine the films he looked at me, then back at the films, then back at me and back at the films, like he was being pranked!  He asked me when this happened and he looked at me with disbelief when I told him two days ago.  “I’ve never seen anything like this before.  Your ankle is broken in three places and it looks like I had already set it and it’s been healing in a perfectly straight line.”  I asked about my knee and he told me that my knee was fine.

I am convinced that I had healed my knee and had almost healed my ankle.

When I have a life changing experiences, I reflect back to see what synchronicities led up to the happening.  Earlier in that week, I was hiking and decided to follow a stream.  I realized that it would be getting dark soon and since no one knew where I was it would be smart to head back.  I looked around and saw that I was surrounded by steep hills and had to either climb up or walk back to the trail.  Suddenly, I was climbing up the hill like a spider.  Literally!  I don’t know how I did it so effortlessly, but I remember thinking that I had to hurry so I don’t break my ankle!  Thank you Spirit for guiding me away from what could have been a long and painful night.  Oh yes, and for helping me shapeshift into a spider and climbing out of there!

A few weeks after the injury, I was lying on a massage table receiving a healing treatment when one of my guides, Ten Feathers, rushed to my side.  I asked him why he was there and he reminded me that I had asked why I had broken my ankle.  He told me that I had thoughts of leaving the area and that I had to stay here on this land for now.  Ten Feathers was right, of course, I had thought about leaving to live with a friend who lived a few hours away.  The reason that I needed to stay became clear to me years later.

My healing, as it turns out, goes back in time farther than I thought.  Several months earlier, I was having weekly sessions with a healer for what was later diagnosed as lymphoma.  One day she mentioned that there was a past life connection with my left foot.  I knew that it was linked to the reoccurring war dream that I had been having for years.  In the dream, I am a soldier running from a parade of army tanks and soldiers that were showering us with bullets.  I was hit in the left leg as I was crawling under rolled barb wire.  I got up to run and the other soldiers were shouting for me to stay down.  Each time I tried to get up and run I got shot in the leg.

My “back in time” healing technique actually healed something that was farther back in time then I had realized.  I never had the war dream again.  Now, any time that I hurt myself, I chant back in time over and over knowing that I could be healing far beyond the here and now.”

We come from the future to heal the past

Many of us are time travelers. In linear thinking, we have already been to the future and we have travelled back to the past to correct what we needed to in order to move forward. In doing so, we can correct our DNA lineage of our bloodline ancestors as well as our children and their future children. Never in the history of our Universe has such a feat been accomplished on this scale. Most fifth dimensional planets have light body humans, whereas we will have more physical light bodies. We are merging the physical and the light body by raising our consciousness to meet the light body while still existing in the physical. In doing so, we will appear more solid than most beings of a fifth dimensional vibration. However as we continue to increase our vibration, eventually we will not need our bodies anymore.

The current U.S. healthcare system is backwards

Everything is wrong with the current healthcare system in the United States. It is all about the money. Ridiculous rules and regulations have been created in order to manage the backwards system of healthcare. For instance, someone who is recovering from brain surgery can only stay in a rehab facility for 100 days under Medicare. What are they supposed to do if they have not been healed? Many times people who have spirit speaking to them in their head are misdiagnosed with schizophrenia and either hospitalized in a psych ward and/or heavily medicated to keep them numb. Children are mis-diagnosed with ADHD, when the accurate description is that they are having a hard time conforming to the third density lifestyle. These children are vibrating at a much higher level and have difficulty sitting in a classroom all day learning left brained academics. The list goes on and on, but everything can be turned around with knowledge and truth.

The system is so backward that the only way to correct it is for the people to learn to heal themselves. We can no longer afford health insurance premiums and we can no longer count on medical practices driven by big pharma. The Native Americans have been using healing herbs for decades, and the reservations that are miles away from fast food restaurants have a lesser incident of obesity and disease. There are no hospitals in the bush where the Aborigines reside. It is all a grand illusion and the bubble must be popped.

Knowledge of self healing for humanity is imperative in order to move forward, as we can no longer function is the society spun for us. We have to take action, spread the word, and heal ourselves first. 

There are many holistic practitioners in the forefront. Dentists, massage therapists, psychic healers, and acupuncturists, just to name a few, have been laying the foundation for the future of healthcare on the planet. There are even holistic veterinarians to keep our pets healthy. The main fear in society is the fear that using a holistic remedy will fail therefore without taking the medically diagnosed treatment, the person will die. How will we get past this fear? By example and by information. There are hundreds of thousands of people with success stories on the internet. We need mainstream media channels that focus on holistic healing to share remedies and the success stories. If we were to take control of mainstream media we could change the world in an instant. Until then it is important to document the success stories and to open holistic community walk in clinics. Very soon the media will not be able to ignore all of the miraculous success stories of people healing themselves anymore, and newscasters will wonder why they are not getting to report these stories.

If you are a healer, the bursts of galactic energies being sent to us from the great central sun- Alcyone, are here to help us clear out the last of our baggage. We can then step into our power with our specialized form of healing and counseling that will change the planet from the inside out. If you are feeling drawn to learn a new way of healing then follow your heart and take action. Speak up if you have a miraculous healing story to share.

Vaccines for PTSD?

Mental vaccines? Researchers now pushing vaccine for PTSD

Friday, December 20, 2013 by: Ethan A. Huff

NaturalNews) Fox News is pimping the latest investigational drug that conventional scientists allege might be able to help prevent post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) in individuals exposed to trauma. A recent report by the news giant explains that researchers from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), in conjunction with Massachusetts General Hospital, are working on a vaccine that supposedly blocks a natural stomach hormone linked to prolonged stress.

The new vaccine, says Ki Goosens, an assistant professor of neuroscience at the McGovern Institute for Brain Research at MIT, was found in tests to block key receptors that uptake ghrelin, a hormone in the stomach that the body produces in response to stress. When given special drugs to block the excess production of ghrelin, rats induced with stress appeared to be less likely than other rats not given the drugs to develop protracted PTSD symptoms.

“We have a rat model of PTSD and what we show is that rats who’ve had a prolonged exposure to stress are more likely to have very strong fear memories when they encounter some sort of trauma and that’s the same kind of relationship between stress and trauma that we see in people,” Goosens stated to reporters.

“Our work actually suggests that if you knew somebody was going to be potentially exposed to a trauma, then putting them on a drug that could actually block ghrelin might actually lower the incidence of things like post-traumatic stress disorder, or depression.”

Blocking grehlin to maybe prevent PTSD will definitely disrupt healthy metabolism

But is another vaccine what we really need as a society, especially one that inhibits a key hormone in the body responsible for regulating hunger and appetite? Like every other drug, this new vaccine attempts to correct an underlying health condition by simply covering up its symptoms, in this case by artificially lowering levels of an important amino acid peptide that the body needs to convert food into energy.

“[G]hrelin … [has] been recognized to have a major influence on energy balance,” explains a 2007 study on both ghrelin and leptin, a similar stomach hormone, that was published in the journal Obesity Reviews. “Ghrelin … is a fast-acting hormone, seemingly playing a role in meal initiation.”

In other words, MIT researchers are in the process of wasting millions of dollars trying to prevent PTSD by creating other health problems. Blocking the production and uptake of ghrelin, according to data gathered as part of the Obesity Reviews study, will almost certainly have the side effect of inhibiting the body’s ability to regulate energy balance and food intake, thus leading to obesity.

“In obese subjects the circulating level of … the orexigenic hormone ghrelin is decreased,” explains the abstract of the study.

Western medicine has an obsession with vaccines

While PTSD is a very serious health condition, the idea of developing a so-called vaccine to prevent it is preposterous. The last thing people need is yet another injection loaded with toxic aluminum, formaldehyde, mercury (thimerosal), and the many other harmful adjuvant components that will most assuredly create even more disease, not to mention intentionally block an important physiological component responsible for metabolizing nutrients.

“Ghrelin is a hormone and also a neuromodulator that stimulates appetite and also enhances aspects of cognitive function,” wrote Bruce McEwen, director of the neuroendocrinology laboratory at Rockefeller University in New York, in an email to Discovery News. “A systemic vaccination might not even work and could … make people anorectic and impair other aspects of physiology by blocking good actions of ghrelin.”

Brush Your Teeth with Chocolate???

Chocolate Toothpaste Better than Fluoride, Researcher Says

For a healthy smile brush between meals, floss regularly and eat plenty of chocolate? According to Tulane University doctoral candidate Arman Sadeghpour an extract of cocoa powder that occurs naturally in chocolates, teas, and other products might be an effective natural alternative to fluoride in toothpaste. In fact, his research revealed that the cocoa extract was even more effective than fluoride in fighting cavities.

The extract, a white crystalline powder whose chemical makeup is similar to caffeine, helps harden teeth enamel, making users less susceptible to tooth decay. The cocoa extract could offer the first major innovation to commercial toothpaste since manufacturers began adding fluoride to toothpaste in 1914.

The extract has been proven effective in the animal model, but it will probably be another two to four years before the product is approved for human use and available for sale, Sadeghpour says. But he has already created a prototype of peppermint flavored toothpaste with the cavity-fighting cocoa extract added, and his doctoral thesis research compared the extract side by side to fluoride on the enamel surface of human teeth.

Sadeghpour’s research group included scientists from Tulane, the University of New Orleans, and Louisiana State University’s School of Dentistry. Sadeghpour will earn his PhD from Tulane University on May 19.

Anti-Fluoridation Legislation Proposed in 9 States

Posted on by

Nine states propose 16 anti-fluoridation bills in 2013 to protect public against poison

Thursday, December 19, 2013 by: Ethan A. Huff, staff writer

(NaturalNews) Things are heating up on the fluoride front as states and municipalities all across the country rethink their official water fluoridation policies. According to the Fluoride Action Network (FAN), some 16 pieces of legislation across nine states were introduced or passed just within the past year to protect the public against this pervasive poison.

In Utah, for instance, the Safe Drinking Water Disclosure Act was passed back in April, requiring that all shipments of fluoride chemicals coming into the state be accompanied by certificates of analysis detailing the presence of any outside contaminants. The law reportedly took effect on July 1, allowing local water utilities to end their fluoridation programs in the event that certificates are not provided.

Fluoride additives, as you may recall, are often laced with other poisons like arsenic, cadmium and even radioactive isotopes that persist from the waste liquids used by the phosphate fertilizer and aluminum manufacturing industries to capture pollutants. These pollutants, not the natural environment, are the source from which the artificial fluoride chemicals added to water supplies are derived.

Tennessee, a leader in anti-fluoridation legislation, introduced two similar bills earlier this year requiring fluoride manufacturers to disclose the full contents of their chemicals. House Bill 1215 and Senate Bill 1274 were also accompanied by HB 1186 and SB 1211, two bills that would allow local voters to decide whether or not to continue fluoridating their water supplies. Statewide, Tennessee also introduced HR 130, which would prohibit state employees or agencies from endorsing fluoride.

“In years past the dental lobby has been successful in getting pro-fluoridation bills introduced in state legislatures across the United States, including legislation that would mandate statewide fluoridation — a law 13 states presently have. But the tables are turning,” explains FAN. “In 2013… instead of the introduction of pro-fluoride bills, we saw the exact opposite, with the introduction of 16 anti-fluoridation bills in 9 states.”

Five states introduce legislation to eliminate fluoridation mandates

Concerning statewide fluoridation mandates, New Jersey successfully thwarted attempts by some legislators to require that its 9 million residents be forcibly medicated with fluoride poison. And at least five bills have been introduced, one each in South Dakota, Connecticut, Minnesota, Illinois and Arkansas, to end longstanding fluoridation mandates.

“With the exception of the Illinois bill, all of these proposals are still being considered and are expected to have public hearings in 2014,” adds FAN. “In preparation, FAN has been working with our point people and local groups within these states to organize grassroots campaigns in support of the legislation.”

Besides the aforementioned bills, a handful of other anti-fluoride bills were introduced this year in Kansas, Massachusetts and New York. HB 2372 in Kansas now requires that warnings about fluoride and its effect on IQ — a Harvard University study recently confirmed that fluoride exposure lowers IQ levels in children — be printed on water bills.

In Massachusetts, a similar bill would require an infant fluoride warning similar to the infant warnings currently issued in New Hampshire; Milwaukee, Wisconsin; and Austin, Texas. And in New York, A 141 has been introduced to require that all fluoridated communities lower their poisoning level from 1.2 parts per million (ppm) of fluoride to 0.7 ppm of fluoride, in accordance with new recommendations from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).

“It doesn’t take an expert to see that the tide has shifted, that state legislators are discovering the truth about fluoridation, and that the momentum is clearly on our side going into the 2014 legislative sessions,” concludes FAN.

Antibiotic Created Apocalyse

The perverse economics of the antibiotics industry means the human race could be in trouble

Right now, humanity is engaged in an epic battle against fast-adapting and merciless predators. No, zombies are not beating down doors to tear chunks of flesh out of the living. Rather, humanity is being hunted by deadly pathogenic bacteria that have gained resistance to antibiotics.

And thanks to the peculiar incentives that drive the pharmaceutical industry, it looks like the cavalry may be a long time in coming.

To understand the current state of the antibiotics market, we have to go back millennia. Humans have co-existed with bacteria throughout our history. They live in our bodies from birth to death. It’s estimated that up to three percent of a typical human’s body mass is made up of symbiotic bacteria, which assist us with bodily functions like digesting food.

Most bacteria in the human body are kept in check by the body’s immune system. But bacteria are constantly evolving to survive and reproduce. Either the immune system successfully adapts to new threats, or the body risks being overrun. Sometimes the immune system will fail to respond to a novel bacterial threat, allowing the bacteria to kill the host.

Before antibiotics were widely available, any accident, injury, or medical procedure that allowed pathogenic bacteria into the body was potentially deadly. One in nine skin infections was fatal. One in three cases of pneumonia led to death. Invasive surgeries including caesarean sections left the patient open to killer infections. Insect bites, burns, and blood transfusions frequently became a source of infection.

So the discovery of the first antibiotic, penicillin, by Alexander Fleming in 1928 remains one of the high points in medical history. Antibiotics kill bacteria, which meant wounds were no longer death sentences. Yet when Fleming won the Nobel Prize for medicine in 1945, he warned of the dangers of antibiotic resistance:

It is not difficult to make microbes resistant to penicillin in the laboratory by exposing them to concentrations not sufficient to kill them… There is the danger that the ignorant man may easily underdose himself and by exposing his microbes to non-lethal quantities of the drug make them resistant.

Fleming’s prediction was right. Penicillin-resistant bacteria arrived while the drug was still being given to only a few patients. Each new class of antibiotics since then has soon been greeted by resistant bacteria.

One breeding ground for antibiotic-resistant bacteria is in farm animals. Low doses of antibiotics have been used since the 1950s to enhance growth. In the U.S., over 80 percent of all antibiotics are now used on farm animals. But low doses encourage resistance, just as Fleming warned. Recent studies show that antibiotic-resistant bacteria have been found widely in farm animals raised for meat, as well as wild animals, including crows, foxes, and sharks.

Scientists are fighting a running evolutionary battle with the bugs. A patient in New Zealand died this year after contracting an infection resistant to all known antibiotics. Doctors declared him the first patient of the “post-antibiotic era.” The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recently warned that drug-resistant bacteria kill at least 23,000 people annually in the U.S, and cost the health care system $20 billion per year.

Unfortunately for the human race, research into antibiotics remains costly. One estimate suggests that the cost of bringing a new antibiotic to market is over $1 billion, and that new antibiotics lose $50 million on average. There are far more profitable drugs for pharmaceutical companies to throw money at, since antibiotics are usually single-serve drugs for humans, not long-term treatments.

Drugs for chronic conditions tend to be more profitable. And with drug resistance quickly evolving, rendering older antibiotics ineffective, pharmaceutical companies have even less incentive to invest in the drugs.

The economics are perverse. Taking preventative action today would not be very profitable because there are fewer potential customers. The incentives to produce more and better antibiotics only kick in under the worst circumstances, when millions of people are dying from antibiotic-resistant infections.

With investment, there would be plenty of reasons to be optimistic about the future. New antibiotics today are typically discovered by culturing bacteria in a laboratory, and scientists so far have cultured less than one percent of the bacterial species on the planet, meaning there is still a huge pool of possibilities out there that remains untested.

There are also a large variety of organic compounds — for example, from insects — that may hold promise as antibacterials. Some scientists are even looking into the possibility of using nanotechnology to fight bacteria — tiny machines that can hunt down pathogenic bacteria and destroy them. Sooner or later, one of these approaches may yield an innovation that pathogenic bacteria cannot develop resistance to.

In July 2012, President Obama signed the GAIN (Generating Antibiotic Incentives Now) Act, a bipartisan bill to fast-track the creation of new antibiotics. Twelve new antibiotics in development have so far received fast-track status, which should speed up the approval of new drugs for difficult-to-treat conditions.

But whether the law will be sufficient to create enough new antibiotics to win the evolutionary arms race remains to be seen. Developing antibiotics is still expensive, and the antibiotics that we do have are still being over-prescribed for humans and doled out in sub-clinical doses to farm animals — both of which gives bacteria opportunities to develop resistance.

If the problem continues to grow, the U.S. and other countries will have to invest a whole lot more in antimicrobial technologies, or create incentives for Big Pharma to do so. Like the zombie apocalypse, the post-antibiotic world would not be a pretty place to live in.
