"..we have never fought the homeopath on matter of principle. We fought him because he came into our community and got the business." - Dr. J.N. McCormack, AMA 1903

In both nutrition and medicine, old truths though proven wrong (such as the germ theory) and funded science dominate the text books and minds of practitioners. Even though the average person guided under the current medical/nutrition model has health problems, still business is good. Practitioners of nutrition and medicine have a hard time understanding what is outside the lines of their knowledge. But there is more to actually knowing than mimicking what we learn through filtered teachings. As the proverb goes "I hear and I forget, I see and I remember, I do and I understand" Doing leads to realization. To study the principles of mountain climbing is to gain conceptual knowledge; to climb a mountain is to experience direct realization.
We can believe we know a number of things from gathered facts, data from books, newspapers, sources, online and more. But wisdom flows from life experience. When it comes to medicine and nutrition, a term I hear used time and again is "peer review." This term is used to validate scientific findings and research, particularly in medicine and nutrition. The overwhelming amount of individuals who have eradicated disease through real nutritional science does not register in the minds of the text book practitioner. They rely solely on the comforts and confines of the walls created in their "knowing" through education. A practitioner may not care for living facts if these facts have not been peer reviewed. What is peer reviewed?
(See more on peer review at the bottom) The term "Peer Reviewed" like paradigm is a buzz word used by people in an attempt to sound like they know what they are talking about. This can be easily recognized because it is always used in a pejorative sense. Dating back as far as the year 931, peer review was used in medical manuals as a duplicate note system to report the patients conditions. When the patient was cured or had died, the notes of the physician were examined by a local medical council of other physicians, who would review the practicing physician's notes to decide whether his/her performance have met the required standards of medical care. If their reviews were negative, the practicing physician could face a lawsuit from a maltreated patient. In today's health model the peer review system is a failed system. It means absolutely nothing. A lot of the harbored, useless truths found by medicine have shaped a world where the the majority of people are on medication. Yet if medication worked, we would need less of it each year. In studying pathology, you are told that the future looks dark as cancer and other diseases will only get worse. So if physicians were to still receive lawsuits for maltreated patients and failing to maintain health in the general public, would this put Doctors and nutritionists out of work?
The New England Journal of Medicine, a wing of the American Congress, and the World Health Organization all separately declared that 85-90 percent of all medical procedures offered in the doctors' offices and hospitals today are not backed by scientific research or evidence.
The medical model sets the framework for nutritional guidelines. Even holistic nutritionists follow the failed system that is beaten into them while in school. Real research has shown that people under guidance of even holistic nutritionists do not compare to people following a whole and living foods lifestyle. Under the guidance of more conventional holistic nutrition, patients tend to have more coagulation in the blood, mucus buildup in the body, less oxygen in the cells and have deficiencies, particularly with enzyme production. Truth is in the numbers. Whether or not the findings of Dr. Ann Wigmore or Dr. Brian Clement are peer reviewed, patient recovery in their nutritional approach outdoes any other approach to health. It's as simple as that. But it is hard for someone to understand something when their paycheck depends on them not understanding it. Our education is designed in a way that we become mentally, and even emotionally attached to the data we integrate. At the end of the 1800's the learning experience was gutted, and compulsory education began to bring in as it was called " An era of more factory workers and less factory owners." Right now in our society there is a decrease in the amount of high I.Q's because the learning experience is purely conceptual. In America, conventional wisdom that has mass acceptance is usually contrived: somebody paid for it.
In Trust Us We're Experts, Stauber and Rampton pull together some compelling data describing the science of creating public opinion in America. They trace modern public influence back to the early part of the last century, highlighting the work of guys like Edward L. Bernays, the Father of Spin. From his own amazing chronicle Propaganda, we learn how Edward L. Bernays took the ideas of his famous uncle Sigmund Freud himself and applied them to the emerging science of mass persuasion. The only difference was that instead of using these principles to uncover hidden themes in the human unconscious, the way Freudian psychology does, Bernays used these same ideas to mask agendas and to create illusions that deceive and misrepresent, for marketing purposes. Bernays popularized the idea of bacon for breakfast, even though there was no science behind it. Not one to turn down a challenge, he set up the advertising format along with the AMA that lasted for nearly 50 years proving that cigarettes are beneficial to health. Just look at ads in issues of Life or Time from the 40s and 50s.
During the next several decades Bernays and his colleagues evolved the principles by which masses of people could be generally swayed through messages repeated over and over hundreds of times. One the value of media became apparent, other countries of the world tried to follow our lead. But Bernays really was the gold standard. Josef Goebbels, who was Hitler's minister of propaganda, studied the principles of Edward Bernays when Goebbels was developing the popular rationale he would use to convince the Germans that they had to purify their race. PR had proven effective and would be used in a wide variety of ways.
Stauber tells the amazing story of how leaded gas came into the picture. In 1922, General Motors discovered that adding lead to gasoline gave cars more horsepower. When there was some concern about safety, GM paid the Bureau of Mines to do some fake "testing" and publish spurious research that 'proved' that inhalation of lead was harmless. Enter Charles Kettering.
Founder of the world famous Sloan-Kettering Memorial Institute for medical research, Charles Kettering also happened to be an executive with General Motors. By some strange coincidence, we soon have the Sloan Kettering institute issuing reports stating that lead occurs naturally in the body and that the body has a way of eliminating low level exposure. Through its association with The Industrial Hygiene Foundation and PR giant Hill & Knowlton, Sloane Kettering opposed all anti-lead research for years. Without organized scientific opposition, for the next 60 years more and more gasoline became leaded, until by the 1970s, 90% or our gasoline was leaded.
Finally it became too obvious to hide that lead was a major carcinogen, and leaded gas was phased out in the late 1980s. But during those 60 years, it is estimated that some 30 million tons of lead were released in vapor form onto American streets and highways. 30 million tons.That is PR, my friends. Today because of PR and psyops green washing the natural/organic wholistic movement has been hijacked and redirected. The health food stores are full of sugar,the only real food is the produce. But even organic produce is not as nutritious as we think, seeing how organic soil has only about 2 percent organic matter. The crops are harvested too early and lose a lot of nutritional value in shipment. Still places like Wholefoods are bringing more conventional products, closing the door on the local organic farms, the true sovereignty and freedom that made this country. This helps consolidate power for conglomerates and bring in new food laws like H.R. 875, the food safety bill and Codex.
The Takeover:
Along with the infiltration of our food, comes the infiltration of our health. In natural magazines people like Dr. Oz grace the covers. Dr. Oz who aligns himself with people like Dr. Anthony Fauci who between 1972 and 1974 joined with Merck, the CDC, and the FDA and created the 4 different sub types of Hep-B vaccines that were given to gay men in NYC, blacks in central Africa and Willowbrook states school mentally retarded children in Staten Island that triggered the international AIDS pandemic. And for those who need it, this is a scientifically published fact. Yet this man's work can be seen as valid because of research done that has been "peer reviewed." But of course, the intention of medicine and nutrition are designed weaken health and control, not cure disease.
David Rockefeller: Memoirs 2002 Founder of the CFR:
“We wield over American political and economical institutions. Some even believe we are part of a secret cabal working against the best interests of the United States, characterizing my family and me as ‘internationalists’ and of conspiring with others around the world to build a more integrated global political structure, one world, if you will. If that’s the charge, I stand guilty, and I am proud of it.”
What do the Rockefellers have to do with medical science? Good question. John D. Rockefeller destroyed the understanding of health and help create the medical model we have now. The primary result of this activity was that his crude oil, worth perhaps a nickel per gallon, suddenly, turned into medical drugs, was worth millions of dollars per gallon. The initial changes in medicine seemed good, but the sinister and hidden purpose behind his millions of dollars of donations -- they are what we see today in the modern medical model -- based on drugs that don't cure, but increase the disease of mankind.The Rockefellers own the largest drug manufacturing combine in the world, and use all of their other interests to bring pressure to increase the sale of drugs. The fact that most of the 12,000 separate drug items on the market are harmful is of no concern to the Drug Trust.
"We doctors have been talking this medicine stuff into the people till they believe it." Dr. Schweningen (Physician to the late Prince Bismark
To teach the Rockefeller drug ideology, it is necessary to teach that Nature didn't know what she was doing when she made the human body. But statistics issued by the Children's Bureau of the Federal Security Agency show that since the all-out drive of the Drug Trust for drugging, vaccinating and serumizing the human system, the health of the American nation has sharply declined, especially among children. Children are now given "shots" for this and "shots" for that, when the only safeguard known to science is a pure bloodstream, which can be obtained only with clean air and wholesome food. Meaning by natural and inexpensive means. Just what the Drug Trust most objects to.
When the FDA, whose officials have to be acceptable to Rockefeller Center before they are appointed, has to put an independent operator out of business, it goes all out to execute those orders. But the orders do not come directly from Standard Oil or a drug house director. As Morris Bealle pointed out, the American Medical Association (AMA) is the front for the Drug Trust, and furnishes the quack doctors to testify that even when they know nothing of the product involved, it is their considered opinion that it has no therapeutic value.
"Before he [Louis Pasteur - the 'father of modern medicine' and originator of the Germ Theory of disease] died, he changed his mind. He ended up saying it's not the germ, but the conditions within the body..." Natural Health Lecturer: Ian Sinclair
Before the Rockefellers got involved, doctors were poor had a low social standing and as a profession had the highest rate of suicide. There were two opposing approaches to medicine, Homeopathic vs. Allopathic. Homeopaths practice a natural non toxic therapy designed to boost the body’s ability to heal. Where as allopaths were known for using toxic, unnatural treatments in trying to effect a cure. One of the best known allopathic treatments was blood letting, which had been practiced for centuries. One of the more famous cases involved George Washington who had come down with a bad soar throat. To help relieve him, doctors drained half the blood in his body, that didn't help so they had George swallow 650 mg of mercury. Mercury by the way is thousands of times more toxic and deadly than lead. George Washington died the next day; he was killed by some of the best Allopathic doctors in the country who were treating a case of strep throat. By 1900 much of the public had enough of these un-natural treatments and homeopaths were stealing patients from allopaths at an alarming rate. Around this time, the American Medical Association was formed as a doctors union to counter the growing power of homeopaths. As a a prominent member of the AMA stated:
"..we have never fought the homeopath on matter of principle. We fought him because he came into our community and got the business." - Dr. J.N. McCormack, AMA 1903
The AMA set out to destroy homeopaths and other competitors, which also included the military style raids of health food stores which closed them all down in the mid 1900's. Allopaths began labeling homeopaths as quacks, while harassing and slandering them. Backed by big business which smelled money in allopathic treatments, allopaths were able to change medical school curriculums, graduation requirements and licensing laws to favor allopaths and drive our any competition. The allopaths emerged as the victors, not because they had better medicines, but because they had made alliances with key business interests which saw fortunes to be made with new allopathic medical practices. The development of anesthesia and infection control meant a boom to surgery and financial interests started invest in hospitals and medical schools. Fortunes could be made because unlike natural remedies synthetic could be patented which brought investors flocking into the pharmaceutical field. Anxious to capitalize on this the AMA was quick to grant its seal of approval to any drug advertised in the AMA journal. As a result their advertising revenue soared, coupled with ads from the tobacco industry, the AMA Journal soon became the most profitable publication in the world. In other words, conventional allopathic medicines rise to power was due to the drug and tobacco money behind their medicine, not the patients they could heal. They played on people fears, addictions and ignorance to walk their way up to the top. No war crime or genocide has pulled off such horror and intent towards fellow human beings. It was profits, not proven medical benefits behind the adoption and wide spread use of surgery, radiation and chemotherapy treatments for cancer.
In the course of the last century the AMA aided by the FDA and others closed down hundreds of facilities which were using promising but non allopathic cancer treatments. In fact, several treatments had cured thousands of patients; these were well documented with reputable doctors confirming both the cancers and the cures. In the case against the doctor Max Gerson's nutritional treatment against cancer, Morris Fishbein attacked Gerson for "treating cancer patients with diet and warning them against cigarettes." Gerson had written extensive papers on his cancer therapies, which were published in the best European Medical journals, but he was blackballed in the U.S. and only one of his papers was published. Gerson would get calls from doctors asking " .. we know from your journals that you can cure cancer but we ask you what would we do with all of our expensive medical equipment, facilities, specially trained nurses and staff just throw them in huts and give them fruits and vegetable juices, we can't do that, there is no money in it."
" The inquisition is still with us. It is called the food and drug administration.. the national cancer institute.. the American cancer society and the AMA. They are allied together to destroy innovation in modern times. - Robert G. Houston
So what about the AMA? Fishbein, the President of the AMA first wanted to be a clown but then decided to attend medical school. His definition of a quack is “Someone who pretends to have medical skills he does not possess." Given the fact that Fishbein failed anatomy in medical school, never completed his internships, never practiced a day of medicine and never treated a single patient in his entire career, Fishbein himself turns out to be the ultimate quack. Usually the harsh words and things we project on to others are simply a reflection of our inner demons, our own insecurities. People now use the term quack or "psuedo science" for anything they don't understand simply because they have been taught to do so without questioning. Since it was founded the AMA's ultimate purpose is to eliminate competition to allopathic medicine, even if others can treat patients better than allopathic means. Nothing is allowed to get in the way of the AMA's business. So it comes as no surprise that the AMA has been sued four times for anti trust violations. In one case the AMA's goal was to completely destroy the Chiropractic profession, despite the fact that for over 40 years the AMA itself has shown that chiropractics were effective. The AMA was convicted in Federal court along with the American college of surgeons and the American college of radiologists.
So what is the agenda of the AMA and the Rockefeller empire?
'One of the most difficult concepts for Americans to accept is that there are human beings dedicated to coercive population control and genocide. Many readers will acknowledge that our government is helping to finance the Red Chinese program of forced abortion, forced sterilization, infanticide, and control of the numbers of live births. Most readers will accept the fact that our nation is helping to finance the United Nations' world-wide 'family planning program,' a form of population control. Most rational men and women, however, find it impossible to believe that such programs are really part of a 'master plan' to kill off large segments of the world's population.'
"One CFR published policy objective is substantial worldwide depopulation including half of the current U.S. population being targeted. This population reduction program is largely funded by the Rockefeller Foundation and the Merck Fund, both financially and administratively linked to the Merck pharmaceutical company--the world's leading vaccine manufacturer........Records show the Merck pharmaceutical company received a major share of the Nazi "flight capital" at the close of World War II when its president, George W. Merck, was America's biological weapons industry director. These facts were revealed by Norman Covert, Army public relations director at Fort Detrick in Frederick, MD, and veteran news correspondent Paul Manning in his book "Martin Bormann: Nazi in Exile" (Lyle Stuart, Inc, 1981)
President Obama’s top science and technology adviser John P. Holdren co-authored a 1977 book in which he advocated the formation of a “planetary regime” that would use a “global police force” to enforce totalitarian measures of population control, including forced abortions, mass sterilization programs conducted via the food and water supply, as well as mandatory bodily implants that would prevent couples from having children. "If I were reincarnated I would wish to be returned to earth as a killer virus to lower human population levels." Prince Philip of Great Britain, leader of World Wildlife Fund
Obama brought the CFR to Washington, whose roots run deep into Nazi and pre-nazi era world socialism and bio-experimentation. Along with the CFR, military and governments have been funding research of chemicals and medicines on the public without public knowledge. For example: In 1951-1960 the U.S. Army paid Israels health minister to do radiation testing on children to migrated to Israel. At this time the Pentagon had irradiated over 4,000 institutionalized children in the U.S., many of which died as a result of the testing. More than 110,000 of the darker skin children were given 35,000 times the amount of radiation to the head; most of them died in months. Even today the Pentagon and other agencies test AIDS drugs, pesticides and deadly chemicals on thousands of foster kids throughout the U.S. Eugenics was huge in the early 1900's in America and even inspired the atrocities performed by Nazi Germany. With companies such as Ford, IBM, Morgan, Chase, and many others funding the third Reich, Nazi medicine and experimentation was an extension of our own.
Here is a very short history of medical experimentation:
1931: Dr. Cornelius Rhoads, under the auspices of the Rockefeller Institute for Medical Investigations, infects human subjects with cancer cells. He later goes on to establish the U.S. Army Biological Warfare facilities in Maryland, Utah, and Panama, and is named to the U.S. Atomic Energy Commission. While there, he begins a series of radiation exposure experiments on American soldiers and civilian hospital patients.
1932: The Tuskegee Syphilis Study begins. 200 black men diagnosed with syphilis are never told of their illness, are denied treatment, and instead are used as human guinea pigs in order to follow the progression and symptoms of the disease. They all subsequently die from syphilis, their families never told that they could have been treated.
1935: The Pellagra Incident. After millions of individuals die from Pellagra over a span of two decades, the U.S. Public Health Service finally acts to stem the disease. The director of the agency admits it had known for at least 20 years that Pellagra is caused by a niacin deficiency but failed to act since most of the deaths occurred within poverty-stricken black populations.
1940: Four hundred prisoners in Chicago are infected with Malaria in order to study the effects of new and experimental drugs to combat the disease. Nazi doctors later on trial at Nuremberg cite this American study to defend their own actions during the Holocaust.
1942: Chemical Warfare Services begins mustard gas experiments on approximately 4,000 servicemen. The experiments continue until 1945 and made use of Seventh Day Adventists who chose to become human guinea pigs rather than serve on active duty.
1943: In response to Japan's full-scale germ warfare program, the U.S. begins research on biological weapons at Fort Detrick, MD.
1944: U.S. Navy uses human subjects to test gas masks and clothing. Individuals were locked in a gas chamber and exposed to mustard gas and lewisite.
1945: Project Paperclip is initiated. The U.S. State Department, Army intelligence, and the CIA recruit Nazi scientists and offer them immunity and secret identities in exchange for work on top secret government projects in the United States.
1945: "Program F" is implemented by the U.S. Atomic Energy Commission (AEC). This is the most extensive U.S. study of the health effects of fluoride, which was the key chemical component in atomic bomb production. One of the most toxic chemicals known to man, fluoride, it is found, causes marked adverse effects to the central nervous system but much of the information is squelched in the name of national security because of fear that lawsuits would undermine full-scale production of atomic bombs.
1946: Patients in VA hospitals are used as guinea pigs for medical experiments. In order to allay suspicions, the order is given to change the word "experiments" to "investigations" or "observations" whenever reporting a medical study performed in one of the nation's veteran's hospitals.
1947: Colonel E.E. Kirkpatrick of the U.S. Atomic Energy Commission issues a secret document (Document 07075001, January 8, 1947) stating that the agency will begin administering intravenous doses of radioactive substances to human subjects.
1947: The CIA begins its study of LSD as a potential weapon for use by American intelligence. Human subjects (both civilian and military) are used with and without their knowledge.
1950: Department of Defense begins plans to detonate nuclear weapons in desert areas and monitor downwind residents for medical problems and mortality rates.
1950: In an experiment to determine how susceptible an American city would be to biological attack, the U.S. Navy sprays a cloud of bacteria from ships over San Francisco. Monitoring devices are situated throughout the city in order to test the extent of infection. Many residents become ill with pneumonia-like symptoms.
1951: Department of Defense begins open air tests using disease-producing bacteria and viruses. Tests last through 1969 and there is concern that people in the surrounding areas have been exposed.
1953: U.S. military releases clouds of zinc cadmium sulfide gas over Winnipeg, St. Louis, Minneapolis, Fort Wayne, the Monocacy River Valley in Maryland, and Leesburg, Virginia. Their intent is to determine how efficiently they could disperse chemical agents.
1953: Joint Army-Navy-CIA experiments are conducted in which tens of thousands of people in New York and San Francisco are exposed to the airborne germs Serratia marcescens and Bacillus glogigii.
1953: CIA initiates Project MKULTRA. This is an eleven year research program designed to produce and test drugs and biological agents that would be used for mind control and behavior modification. Six of the sub-projects involved testing the agents on unwitting human beings.
1955: The CIA, in an experiment to test its ability to infect human populations with biological agents, releases a bacteria withdrawn from the Army's biological warfare arsenal over Tampa Bay, Fl.
1955: Army Chemical Corps continues LSD research, studying its potential use as a chemical incapacitating agent. More than 1,000 Americans participate in the tests, which continue until 1958.
1956: U.S. military releases mosquitoes infected with Yellow Fever over Savannah, Ga and Avon Park, Fl. Following each test, Army agents posing as public health officials test victims for effects.
1958: LSD is tested on 95 volunteers at the Army's Chemical Warfare Laboratories for its effect on intelligence.
1960: The Army Assistant Chief-of-Staff for Intelligence (ACSI) authorizes field testing of LSD in Europe and the Far East. Testing of the european population is code named Project THIRD CHANCE; testing of the Asian population is code named Project DERBY HAT.
1965: Project CIA and Department of Defense begin Project MKSEARCH, a program to develop a capability to manipulate human behavior through the use of mind-altering drugs.
1965: Prisoners at the Holmesburg State Prison in Philadelphia are subjected to dioxin, the highly toxic chemical component of Agent Orange used in Viet Nam. The men are later studied for development of cancer, which indicates that Agent Orange had been a suspected carcinogen all along.
1966: CIA initiates Project MKOFTEN, a program to test the toxicological effects of certain drugs on humans and animals.
1966: U.S. Army dispenses Bacillus subtilis variant niger throughout the New York City subway system. More than a million civilians are exposed when army scientists drop lightbulbs filled with the bacteria onto ventilation grates.
1967: CIA and Department of Defense implement Project MKNAOMI, successor to MKULTRA and designed to maintain, stockpile and test biological and chemical weapons.
1968: CIA experiments with the possibility of poisoning drinking water by injecting chemicals into the water supply of the FDA in Washington, D.C.
1969: Dr. Robert MacMahan of the Department of Defense requests from congress $10 million to develop, within 5 to 10 years, a synthetic biological agent to which no natural immunity exists.
1970: Funding for the synthetic biological agent is obtained under H.R. 15090. The project, under the supervision of the CIA, is carried out by the Special Operations Division at Fort Detrick, the army's top secret biological weapons facility. Speculation is raised that molecular biology techniques are used to produce AIDS-like retroviruses.
1970: United States intensifies its development of "ethnic weapons" (Military Review, Nov., 1970), designed to selectively target and eliminate specific ethnic groups who are susceptible due to genetic differences and variations in DNA.
1975: The virus section of Fort Detrick's Center for Biological Warfare Research is renamed the Fredrick Cancer Research Facilities and placed under the supervision of the National Cancer Institute (NCI) . It is here that a special virus cancer program is initiated by the U.S. Navy, purportedly to develop cancer-causing viruses. It is also here that retrovirologists isolate a virus to which no immunity exists. It is later named HTLV (Human T-cell Leukemia Virus).
1977: Senate hearings on Health and Scientific Research confirm that 239 populated areas had been contaminated with biological agents between 1949 and 1969. Some of the areas included San Francisco, Washington, D.C., Key West, Panama City, Minneapolis, and St. Louis.
1978: Experimental Hepatitis B vaccine trials, conducted by the CDC, begin in New York, Los Angeles and San Francisco. Ads for research subjects specifically ask for promiscuous homosexual men.
1981: First cases of AIDS are confirmed in homosexual men in New York, Los Angeles and San Francisco, triggering speculation that AIDS may have been introduced via the Hepatitis B vaccine
1985: According to the journal Science (227:173-177), HTLV and VISNA, a fatal sheep virus, are very similar, indicating a close taxonomic and evolutionary relationship.
1986: According to the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (83:4007-4011), HIV and VISNA are highly similar and share all structural elements, except for a small segment which is nearly identical to HTLV. This leads to speculation that HTLV and VISNA may have been linked to produce a new retrovirus to which no natural immunity exists.
1986: A report to Congress reveals that the U.S. Government's current generation of biological agents includes: modified viruses, naturally occurring toxins, and agents that are altered through genetic engineering to change immunological character and prevent treatment by all existing vaccines.
1987: Department of Defense admits that, despite a treaty banning research and development of biological agents, it continues to operate research facilities at 127 facilities and universities around the nation.
1990: More than 1500 six-month old black and hispanic babies in Los Angeles are given an "experimental" measles vaccine that had never been licensed for use in the United States. CDC later admits that parents were never informed that the vaccine being injected to their children was experimental.
1994: With a technique called "gene tracking," Dr. Garth Nicolson at the MD Anderson Cancer Center in Houston, TX discovers that many returning Desert Storm veterans are infected with an altered strain of Mycoplasma incognitus, a microbe commonly used in the production of biological weapons. Incorporated into its molecular structure is 40 percent of the HIV protein coat, indicating that it had been man-made.
1994: Senator John D. Rockefeller issues a report revealing that for at least 50 years the Department of Defense has used hundreds of thousands of military personnel in human experiments and for intentional exposure to dangerous substances. Materials included mustard and nerve gas, ionizing radiation, psychochemicals, hallucinogens, and drugs used during the Gulf War .
1995: U.S. Government admits that it had offered Japanese war criminals and scientists who had performed human medical experiments salaries and immunity from prosecution in exchange for data on biological warfare research.
1995: Dr. Garth Nicolson, uncovers evidence that the biological agents used during the Gulf War had been manufactured in Houston, TX and Boca Raton, Fl and tested on prisoners in the Texas Department of Corrections.
1996: Department of Defense admits that Desert Storm soldiers were exposed to chemical agents.
1997: Eighty-eight members of Congress sign a letter demanding an investigation into bioweapons use & Gulf War Syndrome.
"The combined profits for the ten drug companies in the Fortune 500 ($35.9 billion) were more than the profits for all the other 490 businesses put together ($33.7 billion). Over the past two decades the pharmaceutical industry has moved very far from its original high purpose of discovering and producing useful new drugs. Now primarily a marketing machine to sell drugs of dubious benefit, this industry uses its wealth and power to co-opt every institution that might stand in its way, including the US Congress, the FDA, academic medical centers, and the medical profession itself."
-- Dr. Marcia Angell, former editor in chief of the New England Journal of Medicine
The truth is that more people die as a result of their physician than any other cause, besides the state. Whether it is through drugs, bad nutrition or malpractice, the medical model we know has failed. If Doctors are responsible for setting the standards in health, then as a result of the mounting number of sick and heavily medicated people in this country, these Doctors should be out of work. When I hear debates regarding facts beyond the conceptual knowledge of textbook health, hearing words like "peer review" are sad attempts a person makes to feel valid. If people actually know medical and scientific history they would not be so quick to react and toss word around.
Peer Review:
Publish or perish is the classic dilemma of every research scientist. That means whoever expects funding for the next research project had better get the current research paper published in the best scientific journals. And we all know that the best scientific journals, like JAMA, New England Journal, British Medical Journal, etc. are peer-reviewed. Peer review means that any articles which actually get published, between all those full color drug ads and pharmaceutical centerfolds, have been reviewed and accepted by some really smart guys with a lot of credentials. The assumption is, if the article made it past peer review, the data and the conclusions of the research study have been thoroughly checked out and bear some resemblance to physical reality.
But there are a few problems with this hot little set up. First off, money. Even though prestigious venerable medical journals pretend to be so objective and scientific and incorruptible, the reality is that they face the same type of being called to account that all glossy magazines must confront: don't antagonize your advertisers. Those full-page drug ads in the best journals cost millions,Jack. How long will a pharmaceutical company pay for ad space in a magazine that prints some very sound scientific research paper that attacks the safety of the drug in the centerfold? Think about it. The editors aren't that stupid.
Another problem is the conflict of interest thing. There's a formal requirement for all medical journals that any financial ties between an author and a product manufacturer be disclosed in the article. In practice, it never happens. A study done in 1997 of 142 medical journals did not find even one such disclosure. (Wall St. Journal, 2 Feb 99)
A 1998 study from the New England Journal of Medicine found that 96% of peer reviewed articles had financial ties to the drug they were studying. (Stelfox, 1998) Big shock, huh? Any disclosures? Yeah, right. This study should be pointed out whenever somebody starts getting too pompous about the objectivity of peer review, like they often do.
Then there's the outright purchase of space. A drug company may simply pay $100,000 to a journal to have a favorable article printed. (Stauber, p 204)
Fraud in peer review journals is nothing new. In 1987, the New England Journal ran an article that followed the research of R. Slutsky MD over a seven year period. During that time, Dr. Slutsky had published 137 articles in a number of peer-reviewed journals. NEJM found that in at least 60 of these 137, there was evidence of major scientific fraud and misrepresentation, including:
* reporting data for experiments that were never done * reporting measurements that were never made * reporting statistical analysis that were never done
Dean Black PhD, describes what he the calls the Babel Effect that results when this very common and frequently undetected scientific fraudulent data in peer-reviewed journals are quoted by other researchers, who are in turn re-quoted by still others, and so on.
Want to see something that sort of re-frames this whole discussion? Check out the McDonald's ads which often appear in the Journal of the American Medical Association. Then keep in mind that this is the same publication that for almost 50 years ran cigarette ads proclaiming the health benefits of tobacco. (Robbins)
Very scientific, oh yes.

In both nutrition and medicine, old truths though proven wrong (such as the germ theory) and funded science dominate the text books and minds of practitioners. Even though the average person guided under the current medical/nutrition model has health problems, still business is good. Practitioners of nutrition and medicine have a hard time understanding what is outside the lines of their knowledge. But there is more to actually knowing than mimicking what we learn through filtered teachings. As the proverb goes "I hear and I forget, I see and I remember, I do and I understand" Doing leads to realization. To study the principles of mountain climbing is to gain conceptual knowledge; to climb a mountain is to experience direct realization.
We can believe we know a number of things from gathered facts, data from books, newspapers, sources, online and more. But wisdom flows from life experience. When it comes to medicine and nutrition, a term I hear used time and again is "peer review." This term is used to validate scientific findings and research, particularly in medicine and nutrition. The overwhelming amount of individuals who have eradicated disease through real nutritional science does not register in the minds of the text book practitioner. They rely solely on the comforts and confines of the walls created in their "knowing" through education. A practitioner may not care for living facts if these facts have not been peer reviewed. What is peer reviewed?
(See more on peer review at the bottom) The term "Peer Reviewed" like paradigm is a buzz word used by people in an attempt to sound like they know what they are talking about. This can be easily recognized because it is always used in a pejorative sense. Dating back as far as the year 931, peer review was used in medical manuals as a duplicate note system to report the patients conditions. When the patient was cured or had died, the notes of the physician were examined by a local medical council of other physicians, who would review the practicing physician's notes to decide whether his/her performance have met the required standards of medical care. If their reviews were negative, the practicing physician could face a lawsuit from a maltreated patient. In today's health model the peer review system is a failed system. It means absolutely nothing. A lot of the harbored, useless truths found by medicine have shaped a world where the the majority of people are on medication. Yet if medication worked, we would need less of it each year. In studying pathology, you are told that the future looks dark as cancer and other diseases will only get worse. So if physicians were to still receive lawsuits for maltreated patients and failing to maintain health in the general public, would this put Doctors and nutritionists out of work?
The New England Journal of Medicine, a wing of the American Congress, and the World Health Organization all separately declared that 85-90 percent of all medical procedures offered in the doctors' offices and hospitals today are not backed by scientific research or evidence.
The medical model sets the framework for nutritional guidelines. Even holistic nutritionists follow the failed system that is beaten into them while in school. Real research has shown that people under guidance of even holistic nutritionists do not compare to people following a whole and living foods lifestyle. Under the guidance of more conventional holistic nutrition, patients tend to have more coagulation in the blood, mucus buildup in the body, less oxygen in the cells and have deficiencies, particularly with enzyme production. Truth is in the numbers. Whether or not the findings of Dr. Ann Wigmore or Dr. Brian Clement are peer reviewed, patient recovery in their nutritional approach outdoes any other approach to health. It's as simple as that. But it is hard for someone to understand something when their paycheck depends on them not understanding it. Our education is designed in a way that we become mentally, and even emotionally attached to the data we integrate. At the end of the 1800's the learning experience was gutted, and compulsory education began to bring in as it was called " An era of more factory workers and less factory owners." Right now in our society there is a decrease in the amount of high I.Q's because the learning experience is purely conceptual. In America, conventional wisdom that has mass acceptance is usually contrived: somebody paid for it.
In Trust Us We're Experts, Stauber and Rampton pull together some compelling data describing the science of creating public opinion in America. They trace modern public influence back to the early part of the last century, highlighting the work of guys like Edward L. Bernays, the Father of Spin. From his own amazing chronicle Propaganda, we learn how Edward L. Bernays took the ideas of his famous uncle Sigmund Freud himself and applied them to the emerging science of mass persuasion. The only difference was that instead of using these principles to uncover hidden themes in the human unconscious, the way Freudian psychology does, Bernays used these same ideas to mask agendas and to create illusions that deceive and misrepresent, for marketing purposes. Bernays popularized the idea of bacon for breakfast, even though there was no science behind it. Not one to turn down a challenge, he set up the advertising format along with the AMA that lasted for nearly 50 years proving that cigarettes are beneficial to health. Just look at ads in issues of Life or Time from the 40s and 50s.
During the next several decades Bernays and his colleagues evolved the principles by which masses of people could be generally swayed through messages repeated over and over hundreds of times. One the value of media became apparent, other countries of the world tried to follow our lead. But Bernays really was the gold standard. Josef Goebbels, who was Hitler's minister of propaganda, studied the principles of Edward Bernays when Goebbels was developing the popular rationale he would use to convince the Germans that they had to purify their race. PR had proven effective and would be used in a wide variety of ways.
Stauber tells the amazing story of how leaded gas came into the picture. In 1922, General Motors discovered that adding lead to gasoline gave cars more horsepower. When there was some concern about safety, GM paid the Bureau of Mines to do some fake "testing" and publish spurious research that 'proved' that inhalation of lead was harmless. Enter Charles Kettering.
Founder of the world famous Sloan-Kettering Memorial Institute for medical research, Charles Kettering also happened to be an executive with General Motors. By some strange coincidence, we soon have the Sloan Kettering institute issuing reports stating that lead occurs naturally in the body and that the body has a way of eliminating low level exposure. Through its association with The Industrial Hygiene Foundation and PR giant Hill & Knowlton, Sloane Kettering opposed all anti-lead research for years. Without organized scientific opposition, for the next 60 years more and more gasoline became leaded, until by the 1970s, 90% or our gasoline was leaded.
Finally it became too obvious to hide that lead was a major carcinogen, and leaded gas was phased out in the late 1980s. But during those 60 years, it is estimated that some 30 million tons of lead were released in vapor form onto American streets and highways. 30 million tons.That is PR, my friends. Today because of PR and psyops green washing the natural/organic wholistic movement has been hijacked and redirected. The health food stores are full of sugar,the only real food is the produce. But even organic produce is not as nutritious as we think, seeing how organic soil has only about 2 percent organic matter. The crops are harvested too early and lose a lot of nutritional value in shipment. Still places like Wholefoods are bringing more conventional products, closing the door on the local organic farms, the true sovereignty and freedom that made this country. This helps consolidate power for conglomerates and bring in new food laws like H.R. 875, the food safety bill and Codex.
The Takeover:
Along with the infiltration of our food, comes the infiltration of our health. In natural magazines people like Dr. Oz grace the covers. Dr. Oz who aligns himself with people like Dr. Anthony Fauci who between 1972 and 1974 joined with Merck, the CDC, and the FDA and created the 4 different sub types of Hep-B vaccines that were given to gay men in NYC, blacks in central Africa and Willowbrook states school mentally retarded children in Staten Island that triggered the international AIDS pandemic. And for those who need it, this is a scientifically published fact. Yet this man's work can be seen as valid because of research done that has been "peer reviewed." But of course, the intention of medicine and nutrition are designed weaken health and control, not cure disease.
David Rockefeller: Memoirs 2002 Founder of the CFR:
“We wield over American political and economical institutions. Some even believe we are part of a secret cabal working against the best interests of the United States, characterizing my family and me as ‘internationalists’ and of conspiring with others around the world to build a more integrated global political structure, one world, if you will. If that’s the charge, I stand guilty, and I am proud of it.”
What do the Rockefellers have to do with medical science? Good question. John D. Rockefeller destroyed the understanding of health and help create the medical model we have now. The primary result of this activity was that his crude oil, worth perhaps a nickel per gallon, suddenly, turned into medical drugs, was worth millions of dollars per gallon. The initial changes in medicine seemed good, but the sinister and hidden purpose behind his millions of dollars of donations -- they are what we see today in the modern medical model -- based on drugs that don't cure, but increase the disease of mankind.The Rockefellers own the largest drug manufacturing combine in the world, and use all of their other interests to bring pressure to increase the sale of drugs. The fact that most of the 12,000 separate drug items on the market are harmful is of no concern to the Drug Trust.
"We doctors have been talking this medicine stuff into the people till they believe it." Dr. Schweningen (Physician to the late Prince Bismark
To teach the Rockefeller drug ideology, it is necessary to teach that Nature didn't know what she was doing when she made the human body. But statistics issued by the Children's Bureau of the Federal Security Agency show that since the all-out drive of the Drug Trust for drugging, vaccinating and serumizing the human system, the health of the American nation has sharply declined, especially among children. Children are now given "shots" for this and "shots" for that, when the only safeguard known to science is a pure bloodstream, which can be obtained only with clean air and wholesome food. Meaning by natural and inexpensive means. Just what the Drug Trust most objects to.
When the FDA, whose officials have to be acceptable to Rockefeller Center before they are appointed, has to put an independent operator out of business, it goes all out to execute those orders. But the orders do not come directly from Standard Oil or a drug house director. As Morris Bealle pointed out, the American Medical Association (AMA) is the front for the Drug Trust, and furnishes the quack doctors to testify that even when they know nothing of the product involved, it is their considered opinion that it has no therapeutic value.
"Before he [Louis Pasteur - the 'father of modern medicine' and originator of the Germ Theory of disease] died, he changed his mind. He ended up saying it's not the germ, but the conditions within the body..." Natural Health Lecturer: Ian Sinclair
Before the Rockefellers got involved, doctors were poor had a low social standing and as a profession had the highest rate of suicide. There were two opposing approaches to medicine, Homeopathic vs. Allopathic. Homeopaths practice a natural non toxic therapy designed to boost the body’s ability to heal. Where as allopaths were known for using toxic, unnatural treatments in trying to effect a cure. One of the best known allopathic treatments was blood letting, which had been practiced for centuries. One of the more famous cases involved George Washington who had come down with a bad soar throat. To help relieve him, doctors drained half the blood in his body, that didn't help so they had George swallow 650 mg of mercury. Mercury by the way is thousands of times more toxic and deadly than lead. George Washington died the next day; he was killed by some of the best Allopathic doctors in the country who were treating a case of strep throat. By 1900 much of the public had enough of these un-natural treatments and homeopaths were stealing patients from allopaths at an alarming rate. Around this time, the American Medical Association was formed as a doctors union to counter the growing power of homeopaths. As a a prominent member of the AMA stated:
"..we have never fought the homeopath on matter of principle. We fought him because he came into our community and got the business." - Dr. J.N. McCormack, AMA 1903
The AMA set out to destroy homeopaths and other competitors, which also included the military style raids of health food stores which closed them all down in the mid 1900's. Allopaths began labeling homeopaths as quacks, while harassing and slandering them. Backed by big business which smelled money in allopathic treatments, allopaths were able to change medical school curriculums, graduation requirements and licensing laws to favor allopaths and drive our any competition. The allopaths emerged as the victors, not because they had better medicines, but because they had made alliances with key business interests which saw fortunes to be made with new allopathic medical practices. The development of anesthesia and infection control meant a boom to surgery and financial interests started invest in hospitals and medical schools. Fortunes could be made because unlike natural remedies synthetic could be patented which brought investors flocking into the pharmaceutical field. Anxious to capitalize on this the AMA was quick to grant its seal of approval to any drug advertised in the AMA journal. As a result their advertising revenue soared, coupled with ads from the tobacco industry, the AMA Journal soon became the most profitable publication in the world. In other words, conventional allopathic medicines rise to power was due to the drug and tobacco money behind their medicine, not the patients they could heal. They played on people fears, addictions and ignorance to walk their way up to the top. No war crime or genocide has pulled off such horror and intent towards fellow human beings. It was profits, not proven medical benefits behind the adoption and wide spread use of surgery, radiation and chemotherapy treatments for cancer.
In the course of the last century the AMA aided by the FDA and others closed down hundreds of facilities which were using promising but non allopathic cancer treatments. In fact, several treatments had cured thousands of patients; these were well documented with reputable doctors confirming both the cancers and the cures. In the case against the doctor Max Gerson's nutritional treatment against cancer, Morris Fishbein attacked Gerson for "treating cancer patients with diet and warning them against cigarettes." Gerson had written extensive papers on his cancer therapies, which were published in the best European Medical journals, but he was blackballed in the U.S. and only one of his papers was published. Gerson would get calls from doctors asking " .. we know from your journals that you can cure cancer but we ask you what would we do with all of our expensive medical equipment, facilities, specially trained nurses and staff just throw them in huts and give them fruits and vegetable juices, we can't do that, there is no money in it."
" The inquisition is still with us. It is called the food and drug administration.. the national cancer institute.. the American cancer society and the AMA. They are allied together to destroy innovation in modern times. - Robert G. Houston
So what about the AMA? Fishbein, the President of the AMA first wanted to be a clown but then decided to attend medical school. His definition of a quack is “Someone who pretends to have medical skills he does not possess." Given the fact that Fishbein failed anatomy in medical school, never completed his internships, never practiced a day of medicine and never treated a single patient in his entire career, Fishbein himself turns out to be the ultimate quack. Usually the harsh words and things we project on to others are simply a reflection of our inner demons, our own insecurities. People now use the term quack or "psuedo science" for anything they don't understand simply because they have been taught to do so without questioning. Since it was founded the AMA's ultimate purpose is to eliminate competition to allopathic medicine, even if others can treat patients better than allopathic means. Nothing is allowed to get in the way of the AMA's business. So it comes as no surprise that the AMA has been sued four times for anti trust violations. In one case the AMA's goal was to completely destroy the Chiropractic profession, despite the fact that for over 40 years the AMA itself has shown that chiropractics were effective. The AMA was convicted in Federal court along with the American college of surgeons and the American college of radiologists.
So what is the agenda of the AMA and the Rockefeller empire?
'One of the most difficult concepts for Americans to accept is that there are human beings dedicated to coercive population control and genocide. Many readers will acknowledge that our government is helping to finance the Red Chinese program of forced abortion, forced sterilization, infanticide, and control of the numbers of live births. Most readers will accept the fact that our nation is helping to finance the United Nations' world-wide 'family planning program,' a form of population control. Most rational men and women, however, find it impossible to believe that such programs are really part of a 'master plan' to kill off large segments of the world's population.'
"One CFR published policy objective is substantial worldwide depopulation including half of the current U.S. population being targeted. This population reduction program is largely funded by the Rockefeller Foundation and the Merck Fund, both financially and administratively linked to the Merck pharmaceutical company--the world's leading vaccine manufacturer........Records show the Merck pharmaceutical company received a major share of the Nazi "flight capital" at the close of World War II when its president, George W. Merck, was America's biological weapons industry director. These facts were revealed by Norman Covert, Army public relations director at Fort Detrick in Frederick, MD, and veteran news correspondent Paul Manning in his book "Martin Bormann: Nazi in Exile" (Lyle Stuart, Inc, 1981)
President Obama’s top science and technology adviser John P. Holdren co-authored a 1977 book in which he advocated the formation of a “planetary regime” that would use a “global police force” to enforce totalitarian measures of population control, including forced abortions, mass sterilization programs conducted via the food and water supply, as well as mandatory bodily implants that would prevent couples from having children. "If I were reincarnated I would wish to be returned to earth as a killer virus to lower human population levels." Prince Philip of Great Britain, leader of World Wildlife Fund
Obama brought the CFR to Washington, whose roots run deep into Nazi and pre-nazi era world socialism and bio-experimentation. Along with the CFR, military and governments have been funding research of chemicals and medicines on the public without public knowledge. For example: In 1951-1960 the U.S. Army paid Israels health minister to do radiation testing on children to migrated to Israel. At this time the Pentagon had irradiated over 4,000 institutionalized children in the U.S., many of which died as a result of the testing. More than 110,000 of the darker skin children were given 35,000 times the amount of radiation to the head; most of them died in months. Even today the Pentagon and other agencies test AIDS drugs, pesticides and deadly chemicals on thousands of foster kids throughout the U.S. Eugenics was huge in the early 1900's in America and even inspired the atrocities performed by Nazi Germany. With companies such as Ford, IBM, Morgan, Chase, and many others funding the third Reich, Nazi medicine and experimentation was an extension of our own.
Here is a very short history of medical experimentation:
1931: Dr. Cornelius Rhoads, under the auspices of the Rockefeller Institute for Medical Investigations, infects human subjects with cancer cells. He later goes on to establish the U.S. Army Biological Warfare facilities in Maryland, Utah, and Panama, and is named to the U.S. Atomic Energy Commission. While there, he begins a series of radiation exposure experiments on American soldiers and civilian hospital patients.
1932: The Tuskegee Syphilis Study begins. 200 black men diagnosed with syphilis are never told of their illness, are denied treatment, and instead are used as human guinea pigs in order to follow the progression and symptoms of the disease. They all subsequently die from syphilis, their families never told that they could have been treated.
1935: The Pellagra Incident. After millions of individuals die from Pellagra over a span of two decades, the U.S. Public Health Service finally acts to stem the disease. The director of the agency admits it had known for at least 20 years that Pellagra is caused by a niacin deficiency but failed to act since most of the deaths occurred within poverty-stricken black populations.
1940: Four hundred prisoners in Chicago are infected with Malaria in order to study the effects of new and experimental drugs to combat the disease. Nazi doctors later on trial at Nuremberg cite this American study to defend their own actions during the Holocaust.
1942: Chemical Warfare Services begins mustard gas experiments on approximately 4,000 servicemen. The experiments continue until 1945 and made use of Seventh Day Adventists who chose to become human guinea pigs rather than serve on active duty.
1943: In response to Japan's full-scale germ warfare program, the U.S. begins research on biological weapons at Fort Detrick, MD.
1944: U.S. Navy uses human subjects to test gas masks and clothing. Individuals were locked in a gas chamber and exposed to mustard gas and lewisite.
1945: Project Paperclip is initiated. The U.S. State Department, Army intelligence, and the CIA recruit Nazi scientists and offer them immunity and secret identities in exchange for work on top secret government projects in the United States.
1945: "Program F" is implemented by the U.S. Atomic Energy Commission (AEC). This is the most extensive U.S. study of the health effects of fluoride, which was the key chemical component in atomic bomb production. One of the most toxic chemicals known to man, fluoride, it is found, causes marked adverse effects to the central nervous system but much of the information is squelched in the name of national security because of fear that lawsuits would undermine full-scale production of atomic bombs.
1946: Patients in VA hospitals are used as guinea pigs for medical experiments. In order to allay suspicions, the order is given to change the word "experiments" to "investigations" or "observations" whenever reporting a medical study performed in one of the nation's veteran's hospitals.
1947: Colonel E.E. Kirkpatrick of the U.S. Atomic Energy Commission issues a secret document (Document 07075001, January 8, 1947) stating that the agency will begin administering intravenous doses of radioactive substances to human subjects.
1947: The CIA begins its study of LSD as a potential weapon for use by American intelligence. Human subjects (both civilian and military) are used with and without their knowledge.
1950: Department of Defense begins plans to detonate nuclear weapons in desert areas and monitor downwind residents for medical problems and mortality rates.
1950: In an experiment to determine how susceptible an American city would be to biological attack, the U.S. Navy sprays a cloud of bacteria from ships over San Francisco. Monitoring devices are situated throughout the city in order to test the extent of infection. Many residents become ill with pneumonia-like symptoms.
1951: Department of Defense begins open air tests using disease-producing bacteria and viruses. Tests last through 1969 and there is concern that people in the surrounding areas have been exposed.
1953: U.S. military releases clouds of zinc cadmium sulfide gas over Winnipeg, St. Louis, Minneapolis, Fort Wayne, the Monocacy River Valley in Maryland, and Leesburg, Virginia. Their intent is to determine how efficiently they could disperse chemical agents.
1953: Joint Army-Navy-CIA experiments are conducted in which tens of thousands of people in New York and San Francisco are exposed to the airborne germs Serratia marcescens and Bacillus glogigii.
1953: CIA initiates Project MKULTRA. This is an eleven year research program designed to produce and test drugs and biological agents that would be used for mind control and behavior modification. Six of the sub-projects involved testing the agents on unwitting human beings.
1955: The CIA, in an experiment to test its ability to infect human populations with biological agents, releases a bacteria withdrawn from the Army's biological warfare arsenal over Tampa Bay, Fl.
1955: Army Chemical Corps continues LSD research, studying its potential use as a chemical incapacitating agent. More than 1,000 Americans participate in the tests, which continue until 1958.
1956: U.S. military releases mosquitoes infected with Yellow Fever over Savannah, Ga and Avon Park, Fl. Following each test, Army agents posing as public health officials test victims for effects.
1958: LSD is tested on 95 volunteers at the Army's Chemical Warfare Laboratories for its effect on intelligence.
1960: The Army Assistant Chief-of-Staff for Intelligence (ACSI) authorizes field testing of LSD in Europe and the Far East. Testing of the european population is code named Project THIRD CHANCE; testing of the Asian population is code named Project DERBY HAT.
1965: Project CIA and Department of Defense begin Project MKSEARCH, a program to develop a capability to manipulate human behavior through the use of mind-altering drugs.
1965: Prisoners at the Holmesburg State Prison in Philadelphia are subjected to dioxin, the highly toxic chemical component of Agent Orange used in Viet Nam. The men are later studied for development of cancer, which indicates that Agent Orange had been a suspected carcinogen all along.
1966: CIA initiates Project MKOFTEN, a program to test the toxicological effects of certain drugs on humans and animals.
1966: U.S. Army dispenses Bacillus subtilis variant niger throughout the New York City subway system. More than a million civilians are exposed when army scientists drop lightbulbs filled with the bacteria onto ventilation grates.
1967: CIA and Department of Defense implement Project MKNAOMI, successor to MKULTRA and designed to maintain, stockpile and test biological and chemical weapons.
1968: CIA experiments with the possibility of poisoning drinking water by injecting chemicals into the water supply of the FDA in Washington, D.C.
1969: Dr. Robert MacMahan of the Department of Defense requests from congress $10 million to develop, within 5 to 10 years, a synthetic biological agent to which no natural immunity exists.
1970: Funding for the synthetic biological agent is obtained under H.R. 15090. The project, under the supervision of the CIA, is carried out by the Special Operations Division at Fort Detrick, the army's top secret biological weapons facility. Speculation is raised that molecular biology techniques are used to produce AIDS-like retroviruses.
1970: United States intensifies its development of "ethnic weapons" (Military Review, Nov., 1970), designed to selectively target and eliminate specific ethnic groups who are susceptible due to genetic differences and variations in DNA.
1975: The virus section of Fort Detrick's Center for Biological Warfare Research is renamed the Fredrick Cancer Research Facilities and placed under the supervision of the National Cancer Institute (NCI) . It is here that a special virus cancer program is initiated by the U.S. Navy, purportedly to develop cancer-causing viruses. It is also here that retrovirologists isolate a virus to which no immunity exists. It is later named HTLV (Human T-cell Leukemia Virus).
1977: Senate hearings on Health and Scientific Research confirm that 239 populated areas had been contaminated with biological agents between 1949 and 1969. Some of the areas included San Francisco, Washington, D.C., Key West, Panama City, Minneapolis, and St. Louis.
1978: Experimental Hepatitis B vaccine trials, conducted by the CDC, begin in New York, Los Angeles and San Francisco. Ads for research subjects specifically ask for promiscuous homosexual men.
1981: First cases of AIDS are confirmed in homosexual men in New York, Los Angeles and San Francisco, triggering speculation that AIDS may have been introduced via the Hepatitis B vaccine
1985: According to the journal Science (227:173-177), HTLV and VISNA, a fatal sheep virus, are very similar, indicating a close taxonomic and evolutionary relationship.
1986: According to the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (83:4007-4011), HIV and VISNA are highly similar and share all structural elements, except for a small segment which is nearly identical to HTLV. This leads to speculation that HTLV and VISNA may have been linked to produce a new retrovirus to which no natural immunity exists.
1986: A report to Congress reveals that the U.S. Government's current generation of biological agents includes: modified viruses, naturally occurring toxins, and agents that are altered through genetic engineering to change immunological character and prevent treatment by all existing vaccines.
1987: Department of Defense admits that, despite a treaty banning research and development of biological agents, it continues to operate research facilities at 127 facilities and universities around the nation.
1990: More than 1500 six-month old black and hispanic babies in Los Angeles are given an "experimental" measles vaccine that had never been licensed for use in the United States. CDC later admits that parents were never informed that the vaccine being injected to their children was experimental.
1994: With a technique called "gene tracking," Dr. Garth Nicolson at the MD Anderson Cancer Center in Houston, TX discovers that many returning Desert Storm veterans are infected with an altered strain of Mycoplasma incognitus, a microbe commonly used in the production of biological weapons. Incorporated into its molecular structure is 40 percent of the HIV protein coat, indicating that it had been man-made.
1994: Senator John D. Rockefeller issues a report revealing that for at least 50 years the Department of Defense has used hundreds of thousands of military personnel in human experiments and for intentional exposure to dangerous substances. Materials included mustard and nerve gas, ionizing radiation, psychochemicals, hallucinogens, and drugs used during the Gulf War .
1995: U.S. Government admits that it had offered Japanese war criminals and scientists who had performed human medical experiments salaries and immunity from prosecution in exchange for data on biological warfare research.
1995: Dr. Garth Nicolson, uncovers evidence that the biological agents used during the Gulf War had been manufactured in Houston, TX and Boca Raton, Fl and tested on prisoners in the Texas Department of Corrections.
1996: Department of Defense admits that Desert Storm soldiers were exposed to chemical agents.
1997: Eighty-eight members of Congress sign a letter demanding an investigation into bioweapons use & Gulf War Syndrome.
"The combined profits for the ten drug companies in the Fortune 500 ($35.9 billion) were more than the profits for all the other 490 businesses put together ($33.7 billion). Over the past two decades the pharmaceutical industry has moved very far from its original high purpose of discovering and producing useful new drugs. Now primarily a marketing machine to sell drugs of dubious benefit, this industry uses its wealth and power to co-opt every institution that might stand in its way, including the US Congress, the FDA, academic medical centers, and the medical profession itself."
-- Dr. Marcia Angell, former editor in chief of the New England Journal of Medicine
The truth is that more people die as a result of their physician than any other cause, besides the state. Whether it is through drugs, bad nutrition or malpractice, the medical model we know has failed. If Doctors are responsible for setting the standards in health, then as a result of the mounting number of sick and heavily medicated people in this country, these Doctors should be out of work. When I hear debates regarding facts beyond the conceptual knowledge of textbook health, hearing words like "peer review" are sad attempts a person makes to feel valid. If people actually know medical and scientific history they would not be so quick to react and toss word around.
Peer Review:
Publish or perish is the classic dilemma of every research scientist. That means whoever expects funding for the next research project had better get the current research paper published in the best scientific journals. And we all know that the best scientific journals, like JAMA, New England Journal, British Medical Journal, etc. are peer-reviewed. Peer review means that any articles which actually get published, between all those full color drug ads and pharmaceutical centerfolds, have been reviewed and accepted by some really smart guys with a lot of credentials. The assumption is, if the article made it past peer review, the data and the conclusions of the research study have been thoroughly checked out and bear some resemblance to physical reality.
But there are a few problems with this hot little set up. First off, money. Even though prestigious venerable medical journals pretend to be so objective and scientific and incorruptible, the reality is that they face the same type of being called to account that all glossy magazines must confront: don't antagonize your advertisers. Those full-page drug ads in the best journals cost millions,Jack. How long will a pharmaceutical company pay for ad space in a magazine that prints some very sound scientific research paper that attacks the safety of the drug in the centerfold? Think about it. The editors aren't that stupid.
Another problem is the conflict of interest thing. There's a formal requirement for all medical journals that any financial ties between an author and a product manufacturer be disclosed in the article. In practice, it never happens. A study done in 1997 of 142 medical journals did not find even one such disclosure. (Wall St. Journal, 2 Feb 99)
A 1998 study from the New England Journal of Medicine found that 96% of peer reviewed articles had financial ties to the drug they were studying. (Stelfox, 1998) Big shock, huh? Any disclosures? Yeah, right. This study should be pointed out whenever somebody starts getting too pompous about the objectivity of peer review, like they often do.
Then there's the outright purchase of space. A drug company may simply pay $100,000 to a journal to have a favorable article printed. (Stauber, p 204)
Fraud in peer review journals is nothing new. In 1987, the New England Journal ran an article that followed the research of R. Slutsky MD over a seven year period. During that time, Dr. Slutsky had published 137 articles in a number of peer-reviewed journals. NEJM found that in at least 60 of these 137, there was evidence of major scientific fraud and misrepresentation, including:
* reporting data for experiments that were never done * reporting measurements that were never made * reporting statistical analysis that were never done
Dean Black PhD, describes what he the calls the Babel Effect that results when this very common and frequently undetected scientific fraudulent data in peer-reviewed journals are quoted by other researchers, who are in turn re-quoted by still others, and so on.
Want to see something that sort of re-frames this whole discussion? Check out the McDonald's ads which often appear in the Journal of the American Medical Association. Then keep in mind that this is the same publication that for almost 50 years ran cigarette ads proclaiming the health benefits of tobacco. (Robbins)
Very scientific, oh yes.
