    Pharmaceutical corporations accused of Genocide before ICC in The Hague Pharmaceutical companies including Pfizer, Merck, GlaxoSmithKline, Novartis, Amgen and Astra Zeneca are accused of deliberately preventing life-saving natural alternatives to drug based treatments from being applied in prevention and cure. A worldwide disinformation campaign undertaken by these companies is said to have caused the death of millions of people. more

    USDA Approves Irradiated Meat for National School Lunch Program Despite thousands of comments to the federal government from parents, teachers and children nationwide opposing irradiated meat in the National School Lunch Program (91 percent of those commenting were against it), the government today ignored the will of its constituents and approved the use of irradiation for the federal nutrition program. By offering schools the option of purchasing irradiated meat for school lunches, which feed 27 million children each year, the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) could become the largest distributor of irradiated food in the world. You can take action.-- http://www.organicconsumers.org/irradlink.html

    Sunbathing for Health   In recent years we've all been trained to fear the sun, due to the threat of skin cancer, but according to the National Cancer Institute, lifetime exposure to sunlight may reduce your risk of some of the most common types of cancer. In an analysis of death certificates from 24 states over an 11-year period, the NCI researchers found that people who lived in the sunniest parts of the country, and those exposed to the most sunlight through their jobs, had significantly lower rates of breast and colon cancer than matched controls. The main chemical used in sun lotions to filter out ultraviolet light may be toxic, particularly when exposed to sunshine. Octyl methoxycinnamate (OMC), which is present in 90 per cent of sunscreen brands, was found to kill mouse cells even at low doses in a study by Norwegian scientists. Using sunblock also stops your body from getting valuable vitamin D. more

    Heartworm:  natural approach. Jeffrey Levy. DVM - "I practiced for seven years in the Santa Cruz, California area, and treated many dogs with heartworms. The only dogs that developed symptoms of heart failure were those that were being vaccinated yearly, eating commercial dog food, and getting suppressive drug treatment for other symptoms, such as skin problems. My treatment, at that time, consisted of switching to a natural (that is, homemade) diet, stopping drug treatment whenever possible, and eliminating any chemical exposure, such as flea and tick poisons. I would usually prescribe hawthorn tincture as well. None of these dogs ever developed any symptoms of heart failure." more

    Pepper was a severely abused little dog which was rescued by a very special women. He had been set on fire, had become paralized and was unable to eat or drink. The vet wanted to euthanize him but Tawana, his rescuer, would hear none of it. With knowledge of holistic healing, with determination, patience and lots of love, Tawana brought Pepper to a full recovery of optimum health. You can read Tawana's testimonial on my site.

    Spam email was driving me crazy until I discovered the Mailwasher. This wonderfully easy to use little program stops unwanted e-mail from getting to my computer. It also lets me bounce e-mail back to the spammers before I download it to my inbox so it looks as though my address is not valid. This gets me quickly off mailing lists fast! Learn more
