Researchers at Columbia University have published a definitive study showing Americans with the highest blood concentrations of vitamins C and E, particularly dietary supplement users, have the lowest over-all mortality rates and death rates from cancer.

What Do You Do When The Health Planners Are Insane? Answer: you get them some Botox.
There are lots of cosmetic answers in the world of overpriced health care but no real savings. Do you really think a country with a hobbled $16 trillion economy is really going to cut $1 trillion of needless care out of a $3 trillion annual bill for health care?
The original documents written to describe the Affordable Care Act (ACA) said no real savings would be realized in the first decade of its inception. That is because millions more Americans will be forcefully herded into buying health insurance and even more millions are now going to be going to doctors for care.

The false argument is that a good diet will provide all the nutrients a healthy body needs. But by that definition, unhealthy folks might need more, particularly senior Americans who produce less stomach acid and have difficulty absorbing vitamins and minerals from foods, anybody who take prescription drugs that deplete essential nutrients, or those who have increased need for nutrients such as smokers, pregnant mothers, athletes diabetics and individuals with unusual levels of stress.
Don’t forget the National Institutes of Health 5-A-Day fruits and vegetables recommendation fell flat on its face and the government didn’t have the guts to admit that in the open and later opted for a still-to-be-proven 9-13 servings of fruits and vegetables a day, which is largely unachievable (that is 3-4 servings of plant foods per meal!).
Another false argument asserts multivitamins that provide the Recommended Daily Allowance (RDA) of vitamins and minerals are sufficient to maintain health and avert deficiencies. But the RDA is only theoretically sufficient for totally healthy individuals who again have little stress, take no nutrient-depleting drugs, have no bad health habits, etc.

The Saisei Mirai Clinics in Kobe, Japan have taken their “cancer cure” online and graphically describe how it works, including published studies for the more scientific investigator. A key part of the therapy is injection of Gc-macrophage activating factor (Gc-MAF) which is gleaned from blood samples of healthy adults. Gc-MAF instructs white blood cells called macrophages to destroy cancerous cells as well as other foreign invaders like viruses.
The Saisei Mirai Clinics report they have successfully treated 345 consecutive patients with terminal metastatic (spreading) cancer. Some cases are reported at the website. They include the case of a 62-year old woman who was diagnosed with uterine cancer with spreading to the lymph nodes in 2011 and had undergone two prior chemotherapy sessions. After a battery of treatments to boost her own immune system, she achieved complete remission from cancer in 2013 (no tumor visible on CAT scan and normal tumor markers).

It was S.C. Gilfillan in 1965 who wrote in the Journal of Occupational Medicine that chronic lead poisoning resulted in the fall of the Roman Empire centuries ago.
It was lead, largely in wine, grape syrup and preserved fruit as well as in paint, which resulted in infertility among the ruling classes in Rome. Sterility, miscarriage, stillbirth and premature labor rose to the point where the inheritance of the Roman culture was left to the less capable who were unable to bear the responsibilities of government. Rome fell from within.
Now another hidden dietary threat is ready to topple well-fed modern civilizations, and according to one expert, it poses the same severe threat to modern human civilization as lead did in Rome centuries ago.

Maybe upstate New York surgeon Spyros Panos was a bit more obvious than his colleagues. Dr. Spyros never even pretended to use surgical instruments after he surgically opened knees, briefly inserted and withdrew a scope, then sewed up a small wound and billed insurance. Dr. Spyros is accused of booking more than 22 surgical procedures in a single day and delivering needless care.
But isn’t that precisely what all orthopedic surgeons do?
Over a decade ago a landmark report published in The New England Journal of Medicine compared levels of pain relief among patients who either underwent an operation that cleaned out (debride) dead tissue from the knee or a simulated operation where an incision was made but no scope was inserted. There was no difference in pain noted between the group undergoing the clean-up operation and the sham surgery.

More than two-thousand years ago Hippocrates was the first physician to issue a word of caution about the over-use of medicines. Hippocrates invoked an oath to “first do no harm” before doctors reach for the latest nostrum.
In 1976 Austrian philosopher and Catholic priest Ivan Illich, in his book Medical Nemesis, launched what was then considered “the gravest health hazard we face today: our medical system.”
Illich was unforgiving. The first sentence in his text reads: “The medical establishment has become a major threat to health.” His second sentence: “The disabling impact of professional control over medicine has reached the proportions of an epidemic.” Readers needn’t have read another sentence but to obtain the details.
Illich went on to say: “The public has been alerted to the perplexity and uncertainty of the best among its hygienic caretakers…. the pioneers of yesterday’s so-called breakthroughs warn their patients against the dangers of the miracle cures they have only just invented.”

In recent weeks you’ve read headlines that antioxidant supplements kill, and kill, and that fish oil inexplicably increases the risk for aggressive prostate cancer (but not prostate cancer itself), and now we read where multivitamins taken by a group of adults in the Linxian region of China over 20 years ago had no effect upon death rates.
Say again? Yes, exactly, National Institutes of Health Researchers reported in 1995 that six-years use of a watered-down multivitamin in a poorly nourished population produced no significant benefit in regard to mortality. Then twenty years later, researchers say they revisited the ongoing health statistics in this population and found the prior six-year use of a multivitamin had no effect on total mortality.

Various skeptics challenged my online report of a study published in the journal Anticancer Research that 345 patients with end-stage spreading (metastatic) cancer at a clinic in Japan had been successfully treated with immunotherapy. That published report presented three cases as examples. Skeptics claimed only 3 of the 345 treated patients were successfully treated.
I have received confirmation directly from the Saisei Mirai Clinic in Kobe, Japan, that these patients were successfully treated and are in 1-2 year remission following treatment with injectable Gc-MAF (macrophage activating factor), intravenous vitamin C and oral vitamin D plus lipoic acid. The clinic doctors report few if any side effects, improved quality of life, increased appetite in end-stage patients and prolonged survival. The e-mail received from Japan can be read below.
