Obesity – the epidemic Big Medical loves to hate
By Scott Morefield,
(NaturalNews) Obesity in America is more than just an epidemic, it’s the normal state of affairs. Today, 34 percent of Americans are obese (BMI of 30+), triple the 1960 percentage. The ranks of the ‘morbidly obese,’ or those with a BMI of 40 or more, has swelled to 6 percent, six times the 1960 rate. Another 34 percent are ‘merely’ overweight. That means a whopping three out of four, or 75 percent of Americans are either overweight, obese, or morbidly obese. What a sad and completely preventable…
Unspeakable Outrages Across the Country

In Vermont, the vaccine industry attempted to remove parents’ right to philosophical objection to vaccines. Vermonters stood up for their rights and the legislature stood with the people.
But this battle to remove parental rights to decide what is best for their child affects every family in the country, and it is far from over. The pharmaceutical industry is working state to state to remove both philosophical and religious exemptions.
It is crucial to be clear that most families right now do not even realize exemptions exist or how to get them, and are cowed by school or medical or government authorities who say they must get them which is untrue.
Parents are not informed either that they have a choice whether to let them children be injected with vaccines or about their dangers. From the Alliance for Human Research Protection:
“…. the reality is that much of what public health officials and vaccine manufacturers proclaim is not backed by science or experience.
“…. Not only have the vaccines failed to protect against the targeted disease, but the vaccines are implicated in increasing the likelihood of children becoming infected with more virulent strains of the disease.
Exemptions for vaccines go to the heart of the issue – the human right to refuse vaccines on any basis. From Dr. Mercola:
“The issue of protecting your right to make an informed, voluntary vaccination choice for yourself or your child in the United States is about defending human rights.” As Barbara Loe Fisher, president of NVIC, states:
“‘While the State may have the legal authority to mandate use of vaccines, nobody has the moral authority to FORCE you to get vaccinated or vaccinate your child without your voluntary, informed consent.’”
But the government has been allowed to put out false “health information” around vaccines, and arguing over it serves as a powerful distraction from two undeniable criminal actions that vaccines are now being used to perpetrate against children’s bodies. The need for this information and the basis for refusal now has become urgent.
1. Any child in the US who is vaccinated with the new DNA vaccines, and with vaccines that are part of the CDC’s mandatory vaccine schedule (as well as any person taking the flu vaccine) are being subjected to polysorbate 80, a sterilizing agent.
That fact is not deniable since polysorbate 80 is listed as the preferred ingredient in a phama patent entitled “A Fertility Impairing Vaccine.” (The University of Georgia Research Foundation [pharmaceutical companies, along with agribusiness] is listed as the patent applicant.)
“In the description section of the patent application, Tween 80 (Polysorbate 80) is listed as a preferred ingredient:
“‘In a preferred embodiment the vaccine comprises oil, preferably a biodegradable oil such as squalene oil, in an amount of about 2.5% to about 15%, preferably about 8% to about 12%. In preparing the vaccine it is advantageous to combine a concentrated oily adjuvant composition with an aqueous solution of the antigen, pZP glycoprotein. Typically, the vaccine is prepared using an adjuvant concentrate which contains lecithin (about 5% to about 15 % wt/vol, preferably about 12% wt/vol) and STDCM (preferably about 25 mg/mL to about 50 mg/mL) in squalene oil. The term % wt/vol means grams per 100 mL of liquid. The aqueous solution containing the isolated pZP glycoprotein is typically a phosphate-buffered saline (PBS) solution, and additionally preferably contains Tween 80 (about 0.2% vol/vol to about 0.8% vol/vol, preferably about 0.4% vol/vol).’”
That is, American children and all those taking the flu vaccine are being subjected without their knowing to a sterilizing agent. Put more bluntly, Americans are being subjected to compulsory sterilization under the cover of “health.”
Chief Executive of GAVI Wants To ‘Immunize Every Kid on Earth’
Eddie Sage
The Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation-backed group Global Alliance for Vaccines and Immunizations (GAVI) is on a mission to forcibly vaccinate every single child on the planet against every single known “preventable disease.” And the group’s CEO, Seth Berkley, believes he can actually make this happen with enough cash, political force, and distribution systems in place.
Cloaked in a veil of humanitarianism, GAVI’s vaccination agenda has been spreading across the globe like a virus, as hundreds of millions of children around the world have already been vaccinated, and many more are on the way. But the group’s vaccination push will not stop until every child in the world is vaccinated, even if it means having to use force.
Dangerous glass fibers in cigarettes worsen lung damage for smokers
By S. D. Wells,
(NaturalNews) Shocking new research reveals that a specific type of lung cancer many smokers develop comes from tiny tears in their lung tissue caused by microscopic glass fibers, also known as glass wool, found in many conventional cigarette filters. These rips in the epithelial (soft) tissue fuel the development of tumors and cancerous cells due to the constant overload of toxins, namely pesticides, nicotine and ammonia, contained in commercial cigarette smoke. The filters of typical commercial…

Learn about the amazing health benefits of juicing raw cannabis (marijuana) leaves
By Ethan A. Huff,
(NaturalNews) Contrary to popular belief, the marijuana plant is a whole lot more than just a psychoactive drug that “stoners” use to get high. In raw form, marijuana leaves and buds are actually loaded with a non-psychoactive, antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and anti-cancer nutrient compound known as cannabidiol (CBD) that is proving to be a miracle “superfood” capable of preventing and reversing a host of chronic illnesses. Though you may not have heard much about it, the CBD found in the marijuana…
Health basics: Why homeopathy is rapidly gaining acceptance and credibility
By S. D. Wells, May 4 2012
(NaturalNews) When it comes to medicine and doctors, most people in America believe that if it’s not expensive, it won’t work. This theory may hold water when purchasing a new car or an i-phone, but the big profits in America come from invasive surgery and toxic prescriptions, which treat only symptoms, thus waiting for conditions to get extreme and often critical. Alternative medicine, like homeopathy, is becoming main stream, and people are figuring out that the quacks in America are actually the…

Obesity in Cats … and What to do About an Overweight Cat
Ever wonder what to do about your overweight cat? Overweight and actually obese cats outnumber cats of normal weight and are being seen more and more commonly by veterinarians for various disorders. In fact, obesity in cats can predispose the cat to diabetes, hepatic lipidosis and arthritis.
However, weight loss plans in cats needs to be approached very carefully. Here we will try and assist you with your overweight cats so that your kitty won’t have to be encumbered by obesity.
A 2011 study by APOP (Association for Pet Obesity Prevention) found that over 50 percent of cats were either obese or overweight. So what is happening that predisposes our domestic felines to a life of sedentary obesity?
The answer is multifactorial but to simplify, just remember this: any individual mammal (dog, cat, horse, human, etc.) will gain body weight if it consumes more calories than it burns as fuel for energy. That’s pretty simple, but true.
5 Tips for a Slimmer, Healthier Cat
How to Help Your Fat Cat Battle the Bulge
Being a fat cat might seem cute, but it’s really not good for your feline’s health. If your kitty is a little chubby or beginning to look that way, we have some simple tips to guarantee a slender, healthier version in no time. And best of all, if you keep following these tips, you won’t have to spend the big bucks it takes to feed a fat cat!
1. Diets Are Not All Equal
The cat is a strict carnivore. That means a diet mainly consisting of “fillers” (e.g., corn and rice), is just empty calories for kitty. Do a little light reading during your shopping expedition, and start paying attention to the cat food labels. Meat should always be one of the first ingredients. Better quality food means less filler and that means a more svelte cat.
Does My Cat Have Fleas?
How to Inspect and Remove Fleas from Your Cat
By Jennifer Kvamme, DVM
When springtime brings warm weather, you may be visited by some uninvited guests. Fleas become most active when temperatures are favorable (35°C and a relative humidity of 70 percent are ideal conditions for flea populations). In parts of the world where winter temperatures fall below this for more than 40 hours per month, households and pets get a bit of a break from flea activity.
Fleas are indeed very active insects, feeding on blood from your cat and you. They jump onto passing animals and burrow down into the fur to the skin, where they stay well hidden while biting and ingesting blood. This is irritating to the animal, and humans as well, as the bites can cause severe itching and inflammation.
Behavioral Signs
In severe infestations, it’s easy to spot fleas jumping and moving on and off your cat’s body. In less obvious situations, you may notice that your cat is restless and doing more scratching or chewing on certain areas of his body. Shaking the head often and scratching at the ears is another indication of a possible flea infestation in your cat.
Excessive and constant licking at the hair-coat is another sign of potential fleas, especially in cats. Many cats will even groom the fleas out of the hair-coat before you get a chance to see the evidence.

Good buddies: Grizzled truckers transport rescued animals to safety
In the face of animal overpopulation and abuse, volunteers take matters into their own hands
Courtesy Sean Kiel
Sean Kiel is a no-nonsense guy with a gruff voice and a tough demeanor. A truck driver for 30 years, he describes himself as an “alpha male” who tends to keep his emotions “hidden pretty well.”
But get him talking about the curly white Bichon Frise he helped rescue from a dark life in a puppy mill, and all of that changes.
“Here I am, a big ol’ tough truck driver, and I’m sitting here choking up right now,” said Kiel, 46, who just transported the grateful fluff ball to a woman in California who was eager to give the dog a good home. “She was so happy to get that dog — just absolutely happy. It was so touching to see.”
Kiel is a new recruit to an informal and ever-growing network of animal lovers who are transporting rescued dogs, cats, bunnies, ferrets and even the occasional monitor lizard or pot-bellied pig to loving homes, even if those homes are located hundreds of miles away. This unofficial Underground Railroad is powered by truckers, pilots, animal rescue groups and volunteers who provide “layover homes” to all kinds of creatures as they journey to new and happier lives.
Their work happens on their own dime and takes plenty of time, but these volunteers are determined to keep animals moving in the face of seemingly intractable problems: animal overpopulation, and downright abuse, neglect and abandonment of animals by their owners. According to the American Humane Association, about 3.7 million stray and unwanted animals are put to sleep in U.S. shelters each year.
“Shelters nationwide are filled with animals that are going to be killed,” said Sue Wiese, 68, a former truck driver from Joshua, Texas. “You just have to do something.”

Michigan proposes eliminating dietetic and nutrition licensing, allowing freedom of health speech
By Jonathan Benson
“The [committee members] carefully considered the public health and safety benefits of 87 different occupations [and] found that there were at least 18 occupations that did not require regulation,” says the official report. “A closer examination of the practices of dietitians and nutritionists calls into question whether true public harm is prevented by licensing the occupations [...] it does not appear that licensing dieticians and nutritionists is necessary to protect the public.”

Agriculture cooperatives could end hunger while boosting socio-economic development in impoverished regions
