It's that time of year again...you see the "Get Your Flu Shot Here" signs everywhere and it tempts you, even if you know the dangers. But do you really KNOW the dangers? I see all the time, people who DO know the dangers, but then say, but,"such and such HAS to get one, because she's elderly...or premature...or pregnant...or has asthma...etc." Does it make any sense to give the more frail of our citizens something that is harmful to even healthy people?
Here is a comprehensive article that outlines the dangers and risks of flu shots, as well as explains how to avoid the flu naturally. EVERYONE should read this and pass it on!

Fluoride Dangers
If you haven't heard, the fluoride that has been added to our water supply (in most U.S. cities) is not only bad for you, it's BAAAAAAAAAD for you.
I've written about fluoride dangers since 2005, and now more and more doctors and dentists are changing their tune about ingestion of fluoride. The problem is that many parents still don't listen. I'm not sure why. I don't know what it will take. But I'm going to keep sharing the information until people start listening! Here is another great video, a first in the series...
To rid your body (and pineal gland in the brain) of fluoride and heavy metals, you can do an EDTA detox. To keep as much fluoride and heavy metals from your body as possible, drink home distilled water. Also, make sure you use this water for babies, especially when making formula from powder! My favorite fluoride-free toothpaste is Dr. Collins Restore Revitalizing Toothpaste
. It contains Novamin, which re-mineralizes teeth even better than fluoride was supposed to.
To learn more about using EDTA, you can read Everything You Should Know About Chelation Therapy

Cancer and Alternative Therapies
In an article recently referring to Steve Jobs, the following statements were made, which I thought were pretty profound:
According to Dr. Gonzalez, Jobs was seeing an acupuncturist who was very anxious for him to contact Dr. Gonzalez for advice. Dr. Gonzalez has been successfully treating cancer patients for over two decades.
"One of my great patients is a fellow from Michigan who had islet cell carcinoma that, at the time of diagnosis in 1995, had already metastasized to his liver. He went to the Mayo clinic, where everything was confirmed; he had CAT scans and biopsies... To the Mayo clinic's credit... if they know that a therapy isn't going to be useful, they don't promote it, whereas a lot of oncologists will promote therapies that are worthless.
The Mayo clinic told him chemo wouldn't do anything for him... There was really nothing they could do. He started with me in 1995, shortly after his diagnosis. He's alive and well now, 16 years later. CAT scans beginning around 2000 showed total resolution of his big tumors. He had a huge tumor in the pancreas -- it must have been around 6 centimeters. And then he had a big tumor, right under the liver. All these are gone."
"Michael Landon actually did consult with me," Dr. Gonzalez says, "but he never did the therapy. His press agent, Harry Flynn, became a very good friend. Harry and I remain friends to this day, and this goes back to 20 years ago. As soon as a successful celebrity gets cancer, the conventional predators come out of the woodwork-and they say that alternative doctors are sitting there like predators, trying to lure unsuspecting cancer patients into their lairs. You know, I've been in the alternative world for a long time, and I've come out of this very conventional research. But I don't see a whole of that in the alternative world.
What I do see is conventional doctors doing exactly what they criticize in alternative doctors. Landon was treated by an "eminent oncologist" from Cedars-Sinai, who held a press conference. The first thing conventional doctors do when they get a celebrity is to hold a press conference. To me it's almost like narcissism, just to show how important they are with all these celebrities coming to them. This is even if they know they can't do anything. He gave Landon an experimental chemo, but he was dead in three months."
"You see, when a conventional oncologist loses a celebrity patient, they portray him as a hero fighting this terrible disease against the enormous odds; working late into the night trying to keep the celebrity alive," Dr. Gonzalez says. "But when an alternative practitioner loses a patient, they consider him a sleazy quack getting money from unsuspecting cancer victims.
... The same thing was true, more recently, with Patrick Swayze. He had a very aggressive pancreatic cancer. Stanford oncologists doing his treatment held press conferences routinely... filled with this kind of joyful optimism that "they're going to help." He was gone in 18 months. Friends of his are actually patients of mine, but he absolutely had no interest in alternative medicine. He was very conventional – used "the best doctors" from Stanford."
Dr. Gonzalez' mentor, Dr. Kelley (who developed the cancer program Dr. Gonzalez now uses), treated Steve McQueen. McQueen ultimately died, although he lasted almost a year under Dr. Kelley's care.
"He was terminal when he came to Dr. Kelley," Dr. Gonzalez says. "He had failed radiation, failed immunotherapy. He had been misdiagnosed for a year. The reason he ended up with Stage 4 mesothelioma is because he was misdiagnosed by his fancy conventional doctors in Southern California.
Then they gave him radiation – there's not a study in the history of the world showing that radiation helps in mesothelioma; they gave it anyway. Then they gave him immunotherapy. There's not a study in the history of the world saying that immunotherapy helps in mesothelioma. They did it anyway. Then he was dying and he went to see Kelley. He died, and Kelley got all the blame-not the doctors who misdiagnosed him! In fact when you read the newspaper articles, there are still articles about how Dr. Kelley killed McQueen.
No, cancer killed McQueen.
You see, an oncologist at Sloan-Kettering can do a bone marrow transplant on celebrity patients. They die, and he's written up like a hero... Kelley tries to help after conventional doctors failed miserably and misdiagnosed him, and McQueen lived longer than he should. (He was a half-compliant patient – he continued to smoke, drink, and eat ice cream.) I told Kelley when I first met him, "The biggest mistake you've made with McQueen is you took him as a patient. You should have told him to hit the trail."
Dr. Kelley is now dead. But 30 years later, he still gets blamed for McQueen's death. About two or three years ago, there was an Op-Ed piece in the Wall Street Journal attacking unconventional cancer therapy. They talked about McQueen, and how Kelley killed him. ... Conventional oncologists lose patients every day, and no one says they're murdering anybody. Instead they're considered heroes for trying so hard."
"We have multiple patients with metastatic pancreatic cancer who have done well," Dr. Gonzalez says. "It's interesting: I do have very world-renowned celebrities as patients. But no one knows who they are; no one knows they have cancer. The reason for that is because they didn't die, and we don't hold press conferences. They're doing their program and doing well with their lives.
We tell our patients: don't make cancer your life. Move on with your life. So they're back acting in movies, doing talk shows and that kind of stuff. No one knows they even had cancer. And that's fine with me. Some of them keep it secret because of the career thing, and they don't want the publicity. I understand that. So my successful patients who are celebrities, nobody knows who they are because they got well and they're just doing their job."
"They [physicians] grow up with the bias that drugs are the way to go. It's how they're trained; it's imprinted in their brain in medical school. It's like mind control – it's what they believe. They just can't believe anything else. They go to their graves believing it – often to their discredit, unfortunately."
"We get calls from doctors now, asking us about nutrition and what supplements they should take," Dr. Gonzalez says. "There's been a big change in the last few years. Fifteen years ago it didn't happen, and now it's starting to happen."
I've always wondered about celebrities, who have an endless supply of money, and why it is that they die anyway...yet we fight so hard for the ability for this "health care." Doctors like Dr. Nicholas Gonzalez quoted above deserve recognition so that people like you and I know that they exist. So that the "average Joe" knows that there are alternatives to cut, drug, and die. You can learn more about Dr. Gonzalez at his website: www.dr-gonzalez.com .

Amitriptyline for Headaches. For a Seven Year-Old?
I am really stressing out. And this isn't even MY child. I can't imagine being in the position to sit in a doctor's office and accept the words, "let's see if amitriptyline will work." It's an antidepressant. And the child is 7. With a known anxiety disorder and divorced parents who can't get along. Gee, it doesn't take a genious to figure out where her headaches are coming from. Or the ankle pain. Or the wrist pain. To my knowledge the child hasn't been taught a single method of handling anxiety. She chews her nails down to the quick. She has bags under her eyes (which have gotten worse since beginning the amitriptyline). She lives with a mother who is probably not the best for someone with anxiety. And now she is being drugged.
As a mom to a child with anxiety, I know this life is not easy. There have been many breakdowns and tears. The poor child cried for the first four months of his life. He was too hot, too cold, too tired, too alert, too hungry, too full. There was too much going on, or not enough going on. He simply is too receptive...to his own and other's energy. I see very similar traits in this girl, but with a parent who wants a simple fix, her fate is not looking good.
When I was ten years old, I suffered from anxiety resulting from pressure from my parents to do well in school and swim faster. I was at the height of my swimming career and an A/B student. I put enough pressure on myself to push myself. I guess the outside pressure was too much. My hair began falling out. I developed a facial tic. My mom took me to the doctor to make sure there was no seizure activity taking place. The EEG was normal. I was just under too much stress. I was given a small pill for a few weeks, and my mom was told to remove all unnecessary stress from my life. (I did not know this until much later). The tics went away and life went on. As an adult, I realized that I did not know how to cope with stress. I wish I had learned this growing up, but when I saw my son having anxiety about various things, I knew I had to do something to help him through it rather than avoid those situations.
Now that I'm seeing this now eight year-old girl and know her home situation I want to scream. I couldn't imagine giving this drug for headaches before trying absolutely EVERY other option. Anyway, she isn't my child. There isn't really anything I can do. But I can tell YOU that when kids have aches and pains, real or not, there is a reason for it. FIND IT. Keep a diary of everything your child does and eats. And be honest enough with yourself to accept if YOU are stressing her out.
If your child has signs of anxiety you may want to try this amazing program. It is the most affordable solution and I would suggest trying it before more expensive options, even counseling.
Since many anxious children have learned their behavior from anxious parents, you may even see that it can help you, too. Just go here, and read to the bottom or just skip down to the bottom where there is a link to the catalog. Then choose "Dissolving Panic and Anxiety Now!" to read more about this specific program. This program is applicable to children as well as adults.
Another program that is specific to children is a little more costly (still under $100): The Anxiety-Free Child Program.
In any case, drugs should be used as a last resort. If you have a "drug happy" doctor, find a new one soon and ask him/her about these anti-anxiety programs. Your child will thank you one day!

Home Remedy for Acid Reflux
Just a note from "Joe":
Please don't put off doing something about your acid reflux. Because you won't just get relief from the pain and discomfort. I'll tell you right now that acid reflux can lead to much more serious problems such as asthma and pneumonia (as the acid moves into your lungs), ulcers, nutritional deficiencies (from the poor digestion) and even cancer.
Not only that, but, as you'll discover in the video, the risky medications people take for acid reflux can actually make the problem worse by masking your symptoms and neutralizing the acid you need to digest your food.
Instead, see how to fix the real cause of your acid reflux with safe, inexpensive, natural home remedies.

Electromagnetic Fields (EMF's)
As if we didn't already have enough to worry about in this world, now we have to worry about the electromagnetic fields (or "electrosmog") in our homes, work places, and schools. Luckily for me, our home, work place and school is all one place: our home. But most people have jobs in an office and kids who attend schools, where their EMF environment is out of their control. If you don't read anymore on this, two things you can do to drastically reduce your personal EMF exposure is to not use your cell phone while it is plugged in, and only use your laptop when it is running on battery power and not plugged in. Additionally, you need to be concerned with where your bed is located in your room and what electronic appliances you are near (including wiring in the wall). Lastly, if you are required to install a "Smart Meter" in your house, learn more about this and fight it if possible. To learn more about all of this, especially the Smart Meters, read "Worse than Cigarettes? The Silent Enemy Harming Your Health Today..."

Yes, BEEF Can Help Prevent CANCER!
As food prices soar, many people are re-examining the food they buy and eat on a regular basis. Hopefully, your source of meat has been a topic in your examination, and I hope that you aren't just shopping based on price.
Many people have heard that meat is bad for the body and that it can actually cause cancer and other health problems. Not many have heard the complete opposite, which is actually the truth, if you eat the right meat! But what IS "the right" meat?
There is no question that grass fed meats and grass fed dairy are more healthy options than conventional meat and dairy. If you are wondering about your meat and dairy, chances are, it is grain-fed. In natural food markets, grass fed meats may be out of your price range. If you buy straight from the farm, your prices will be much closer to the prices you are accustomed to, but the benefits of what you are buying are through the roof!
Here is information about CLA (conjugated linoleic acid) benefits to your health.
Here is more information about CLA and sources of it (grass-fed animals).
If you are wondering where to get grass-fed meats and dairy, you might find a source near you at realmilk.com. Four years ago we found a source and drive straight to the farm for our meat, eggs, and raw dairy. Recently, the farm owner actually LOWERED his prices due to the rising costs of gas and other food items. Where does THAT ever happen?!

Roundup and Birth Deffects. Is the public being kept in the dark?
People generally believe what they are told, especially when it comes from experts, regulators, doctors, etc. When will we ever learn? People who do not depend on the herbicide/pesticide industry for money have spoken out for YEARS about the dangers of these products being used on food and/or around people (especially kids). Nobody wanted to listen. We all want to trust the "experts" without using common sense. Here is the report so you can read for yourself:
