US Drug Watchdog Openly Mocks The US FDA For Doing Little To Nothing About The Metal On Metal Hip Implant Disaster & Offers To Help Victims Get To The Best Attorneys
The US Drug Watchdog is now openly mocking the US FDA for once again sitting on their hands, while up to half a million US citizens could now be stuck with a metal on metal hip implant device that might prematurely fail, or do even more damage because the metal debris could be giving these type of hip implant recipients blood poisoning. The United Kingdom is already on the verge of an out right ban of all metal on metal hip implants, and the US Drug Watchdog is convinced there are hundreds of thousands of US citizens, who are recipients of a metal-on-metal hip implant that has failed, or will fail prematurely. According to the New York Times on December 27th 2011, “The so-called metal-on-metal hips, in which a device’s ball and joint are made of metal, are failing at high rates within a few years instead of lasting 15 years or more, as artificial joints normally do. The wear of metal parts against each other is generating debris that is damaging tissue and, in some cases, crippling patients.” The US Drug Watchdog wants to hear from any metal-on metal hip implant recipient if their hip implant has already failed, if the hip implant recipient is suffering the symptoms of a metal-on metal hip implant failure, or if the metal on metal hip implant recipient is concerned about a premature failure, in order to get them to the best attorneys. Metal on metal hip implant recipients are encouraged to contact the US Drug Watchdog anytime at 866-714-6466, or they can contact the group via their web site at http://USDrugWatchdog.Com

The number of measles cases and outbreaks spiked last year, with unvaccinated people making up the majority of those affected, according to a new report from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
In 2011, there were 222 cases of measles in the United States. That’s the highest number reported measles cases in the united states in 15 years, said Dr. Anne Schuchat, director of CDC’s Office of Infectious Diseases, speaking to reporters today.
The number is also more than triple the number of cases in 2009 and 2010, according to the report.

10 tips to beat the ticks
By Craig Stanley
NBC News
This year’s unusually warm winter brought extra sunshine, and along with it, the early arrival of tick season. According to the Centers for Disease Control, 12 diseases are transmitted by some types of ticks — including Lyme disease. Use these tips to reduce the risk of tick bites while maximizing your outdoor summer fun.
1) Avoid ticks as much as possible! They love to hide in wooded and bushy areas with tall grass and leaf litter. When you’re out in these types of areas, wear light-colored clothing with long pants tucked into socks. That makes it easier to detect ticks on your clothing and helps keep them away from your ankles.
2) To protect your skin from ticks, the Centers for Disease Control suggests using an EPA-approved repellent that contains 20 percent or more DEET for several hours of defense. To safeguard your clothes, experts recommend any EPA-approved repellent that has permethrin.

Australian doctors still administering banned flu vaccine to children
By Meryl Dorey, April 21 2012
(NaturalNews) Two years to the day after CSL’s Fluvax was banned for use in children under the age of 5, news has emerged that Australian doctors are continuing to administer this shot to infants and toddlers despite the fact that there are four other vaccines that are licensed for use in this age group. Originally, it was discovered that the rate of febrile convulsions following Fluvax was 10 times higher than the ‘expected’ rate and was causing seizures in 1 child in 100. As a result, the Chief…
Conventional milk supply in Australia deliberately tainted with unlabeled waste product known as ‘permeate’
By Ethan A. Huff, April 21 2012
(NaturalNews) Australians who purchase conventional milk products from their local grocery store or supermarket may be drinking a processed food product composed of more than 16 percent industrial waste every time they gulp down a glass. The Age reports that “permeate,” a waste byproduct of processed milk and cheese production, is being quietly added into many conventional milk brands in order to cut costs, and the public is largely unaware of this due to lax rules that do not require proper labeling…

Rescued Pet Stories
At the Bellevue shelter, I went looking for a beautiful, colorful female
collie shepherd–just like my dear departed one. But my dog trainer wanted me to give another type of dog a chance. So as the big, black and white male seemed ok., this “SLAB” springer/lab, spied my husband, ran to him and sat at attention! Hello new doggie!
Cosmos had been kept in a dog run 20 hrs a day, underfed and surrendered twice. Afraid of cars, he was so scared, my husband had to carry him into our house. Now we have had the pleasure of living with the sweet, big hearted Cosmos for 14 years. He shredded and munched his way from kleenex boxes to a refrigerator shipping carton; loves car ride adventures, and walks on the beach. Now at about 16 or 17, instead of springing , Mr. Slo-mo sniffs his way along life. He loves our 2 adopted shelter cats and cheerfully chases them once in the morning and just once at night. Then they all settle down for a nap together and perhaps a licking festival. Shelter animals shelter our hearts!

As children’s brains are being eaten by vaccines, parents urged to ignore the symptoms and ‘soothe’ their babies
By Jonathan Benson, April 21 2012
(NaturalNews) A recent study published in the journal Pediatrics suggests that administering one or more of the five “Ss” — swaddling, side/stomach position, shushing, swinging, and sucking — to babies in conjunction with their childhood vaccine regimens can help alleviate the physical and emotional stress typically brought about by this highly-invasive medical tradition. Swaddling babies, or wrapping them in a warm blanket after they are vaccinated, as well as placing them in certain positions…
Culture of corruption has become common within FDA, Big Pharma
(NaturalNews) When pharmaceutical drugs and medical devices are approved for use in medicine by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), their safety and efficacy are typically not the primary factors considered during the decision-making process. As pointed out by the Office of Medical and Scientific Justice (OMSJ), the FDA and the drug industry are both now dominated by cultures of corruption that put profits before patient safety in almost every instance, which means that a steady stream of…
