The “Newspaper Revitalization Act” was introduced this week by Senator Benjamin Cardin, a Democrat from Maryland.
“We
are losing our newspaper industry the economy has caused an immediate
problem, but the business model for newspapers, based on circulation
and advertising revenue, is broken, and that is a real tragedy for
communities across the nation and for our democracy. It is in the
interest of our nation and good governance that we ensure they survive”
said Senator Cardin.
The
act would grant newspapers tax-free status as non-profits, a deal
similar to that enjoyed by public broadcasting outlets, which survive
on tax-deductible contributions from listeners. The newspapers,
however, will also be able to enjoy tax free advertising revenue.
Is it really in the interest of our nation to bailout the newspapers?
Are these not the same newspapers that led the unchallenged drumbeat into the Iraq war? The newspapers who cheered for the economy as it became apparent that there were real problems emerging? Should we bailout a newspaper industry who has failed to properly inform the public as to where $10 trillion+ of their money has gone? The newspapers who silenced the campaign of Ron Paul, a Presidential candidate who broke fund raising records on his message of freedom.
The
newspaper industry, owned and controlled by a hand full of giant media
companies, has been reduced to an un-hired PR firm of the US
government. A quick glance at the sourcing of major newspaper articles
of makes this clear (Watch the Robert Fisk video below). They are dying
because they deserve to die.
In God We (Don't) Trust
For an overwhelming part of U.S. history, America's motto was purely secular, "E Pluribus Unum" (From many [come] one). E Pluribus Unum was chosen by a committee of Jefferson, Adams and Franklin. Many Americans mistakenly assume our founders chose "In God We Trust" as the motto, but nothing could be further from the truth. Our founders were committed to a secular government. For most of U.S. history, our money was likewise free of religion.
 Notice the difference: The motto "In God We
Trust" does not appear on the 1935 dollar bill (top). The phrase only
began appearing in the late 1950s.

Of all of the complaints over state/church entanglement received by the Freedom From Religion Foundation, "In God We Trust" on U.S. money and as the U.S. motto rank near the top in volume. The johnny-come-lately appearance of this religious motto, adopted as the result of a religious campaign by a McCarthyesque Congress, has unfortunately been used as precedent to justify other First Amendment violations since then. This symbolic unity of "God" with government has created a lack of respect for the constitutional principle of the separation of church and state. Citizens are continually confronted by currency further confusing the line between church and state.
To learn more about how a religious motto supplanted U.S. secular heritage, read on and see the links below.
The Freedom From Religion sued the federal government in 1994 to have "In God We Trust" removed from currency and as our national motto.
The motto was put on all paper currency by an Act of Congress in 1955. The phrase was chosen as our national motto by an Act of Congress in 1956. It first appeared on paper currency in 1957.
The Foundation lawsuit was dismissed by a 10th-circuit federal judge on the grounds that "In God We Trust" is not a religious phrase. The Foundation appealed the dismissal.
In recent times it has been fashionable to talk of the levelling of nations, of the disappearance of different races in the melting-pot of contemporary civilisation. I do not agree with this opinion...the disappearance of nations would have impoverished us no less than if all men had become alike, with one personality and one face.

Humble and the Story behind MMS : Miracle Mineral Supplement
Sasbachwalden, Germany, November 2008
Jim Humble: ...I did things
like set up A-bomb tests. I worked on Intercontinental Ballistic
Missiles. I was able to wire the first computer-controlled
machine in the United States at Hughes Aircraft Company.
... So they called me in and had me repair the Lunar Vehicle. [laughs] And so, did they go to the Moon or didn’t they? [laughs] I don’t know whether they took it to the Moon or they took it out to the mountains in the desert.
... He was going through the files one time and he come upon this photograph, 8 x 10 photograph, that showed a space station on the back side of the Moon.
... I figured: They didn’t get all that gold out there. I can just go out and get a bunch of it myself. You know. And so I started in mining and I found out that pretty much that they did get all that gold out there after all.
... I developed new techniques for gold recovery.
... When you have a billion dollars invested in a particular process, it isn’t likely you’re just going to change, you know. It’s not something that they usually do.
... And these guys were really sick, and so I asked them if they would like to try to my water purification drops that I had brought along with me. And in four hours they were up, laughing about how bad they were feeling just a little while before.
... Normally speaking, a person who’s given MMS will be well from malaria in four hours. I’ve treated 2,000 people personally, and the people I’ve trained have treated over 100,000 people.
Bill Ryan: Are you allowed to say here on camera that MMS will cure cancer?
Jim Humble: Sure. [laughs] I can say it. MMS will cure cancer.
Start of interview
Bill Ryan: So, this is Bill Ryan from Project Camelot and this is Friday, the 21st of November [2008] and I am delighted to meet Jim Humble. Jim!
Jim Humble: It’s my pleasure.
BR: It’s wonderful to meet a man who’s got good taste in headgear. [laughter] And we’re here in southern Germany at Sasbachwalden, at a conference where Jim is speaking in a few hours’ time. And you’ve flown in from Mexico, I believe?
JH: Hermosillo, Mexico.
BR: A few days ago.
JH: Yes.
BR: Now, Jim, it’s very clear that you’ve had an extraordinary life. What’s your background? What was it that brought you to the point when you were in Guyana? You were prospecting? Was it for gold?
JH: Prospecting for gold. Yeah.
BR: So, take us through the fast-forward of your life, and your training, and how come you got to that point in Guyana.
JH: Well, I started, sort of, in the aerospace industries and... I started as a technician in the aerospace industry. And I just, as things worked out, I became a non-degreed engineer, as a research engineer in aerospace. And I did things like set up A-bomb tests and I...
BR: A-bomb?
JH: A-bomb.
BR: Atomic bomb tests?
JH: Atomic bomb tests. And I worked on Intercontinental Ballistic Missiles and I worked on power generation from plasma. Yeah, I just happened that I was in the right place at the right time. And back in those days... and I was able to wire the first computer-controlled machine in the United States at Hughes Aircraft Company.
You know, for a number of years there, I sort of lucked out and worked on the edge of science on a number of different projects. And I had a lot of fun [laughs] working on it, on the various different projects. And so...
But, you know, the Cold War come to an end, and the aerospace industry sort of come to an end, and so I went into mining. And I got interested in mining -- gold mining, of course, because I was thinking that I could make a lot of money in gold mining. I was like a lot of guys. I figured: They didn’t get all that gold out there. I can just go out and get a bunch of it myself. You know.
And so I started off in mining and I found out that pretty much that they did get all that gold out there after all. And so, it...
But in the process of being in mining, I started working with the various different mining techniques. And I wrote five books on mining recovery, mainly on the recovery of gold, different ways of leaching.
And I wrote ways of not using mercury. A lot of mining was using mercury up to that time, and I wrote a book on how to use mercury safely. And then I wrote a book on how you didn’t need mercury after all. [laughs] And so I just sort of got into...
And I developed new techniques for gold recovery. And I could go into the jungle and recover gold that they had missed before because I could recover the very, very fine particles of gold with my particular technique. It uses nothing but water and it makes no harsh impact on the environment because there’s no chemicals. And it will... not only that, but it does a better job and a lot cheaper job than the chemical operations that they have now.
But those people who are using the chemical operations, they don’t particularly care to talk about it. So it’s not something that is easy to sell. It’s just like a lot of things. They don’t want to change, you know. People are doing something and they don’t want to change the way they’re doing it.
BR: So your second career actually has got a lot of interesting parallels with your third career, that the vested interests want to keep on using the more toxic and ineffective approach.
JH: That’s correct. There is a lot of parallels there and there’s... It would be a real good thing for the mining industry to use the process. It’s much cheaper, easier to set up. But when you have a billion dollars invested in a particular process, it isn’t likely you’re just gonna change, you know. It’s not something that they usually do. And so I don’t worry about it too much.
BR: In your first career, which you had back in aerospace, didn’t you have something to do with the Lunar Module? Or the Lunar Lander, was it?
JH: I was working at the General Motors Defense Research Laboratories in Santa Barbara at the time. And they had taken the Lunar Vehicle up there to get it ready to be loaded on the ship going to the Moon, of course. And there was some parts inside of it that was broken. And I don’t know, minor, tiny accident, but there was a few wires that were broken and everything. And I happened to be an electronic technician, and they knew I was, so they called me in and had me repair the Lunar Vehicle. [laughter]
And so, I just got to work on it. And it was kind of interesting, what they were doing. And did they go to the Moon or didn’t they? I don’t know [laughs] whether they took it to the Moon or they took it out to the mountains in the desert. But I assume that they took it to the Moon.
BR: We actually heard from one of our whistleblowers that both of the stories were correct, that some of the missions went to the Moon, some did not. Some of the photographs were real and some were not. It’s a real mixed bag.
JH: Yeah. Right. I remember that flag, you know, waving. [laughter] So you’re never... of course, there wasn’t any air on the Moon, so the flag really shouldn’t have been waving.
BR: There were all kind of things, cross-hairs behind the image, anomalies. Didn’t you say that you were working in the room with a colleague who saw something interesting at one point?
JH: Well, yes, I did. I had friend who was working at JPL, Jet Propulsion Laboratory, which was doing all of the Moon work at that time. And he was a draftsman and he had, well, he had the right to go into the various different secret files to get material out for his drafting, whatever it was that he was doing.
BR: He had the level of clearance.
JH: He had the level of clearance, yeah. And so he was going through the files one time and he come upon this photograph, 8 x 10 photograph, that showed a space station on the back side of the Moon. And it was far enough from the Moon that you could see the station and yet you could see that it was the Moon.
And it was pretty obvious to him that it was not the type of construction that the United States would do. In other words, it wasn’t the type of construction that JPL would do, because he’s familiar with all that. He was designing things along those lines, so he was familiar with what JPL did and didn’t do. And the construction that he saw on the Moon was totally foreign to Earth.
BR: So he said to you: Hey Jim. Look what I’ve just seen. Look what I’ve...
JH: That’s right. He didn’t show it to me. He didn’t bring it out. He just told me. He told me about it, explained it at the time.
BR: That’s a pretty interesting story. Someone should make a movie of your life. [laughter] That would be quite a story. You’ve had several careers in there, haven’t you?
JH: Well, I don’t know how interesting it would be, but it would be very interesting to me. [laughs]
BR: What would be wonderful here... I know there’s an enormous story you told, which you have told before. But for the benefit of people who aren’t familiar with your work, can you give a brief summary, if it’s possible, of your discovery -- if discovery is the right word -- of the Miracle Mineral Supplement known all over the world as MMS, what it does, and how it was that you came to develop this?
JH: Well, I was a gold prospector in South America, and a couple of my men came down with malaria. And so... we were quite a ways out in the jungle and there was no way to get any malaria drugs, and we had not previously believed that there would be any malaria in that area. So we had no malaria drugs.
And I sent a couple of runners off to a local mining operation. But it was going to take them a day to get there and a day to get back, and that’s a long time without a malaria drug when you’re pretty darn sick. And these guys were really sick.
And so I asked them if they would like to try my water purification drops that I had brought along with me. And they said they were willing to try anything.
They were very sick. They had all the symptoms. They were laying in bed and they were... they had a high fever, and they were shivering, and they had pains in their joints. And they had nausea. They were throwing up. They had extreme headache. They were just in bad shape.
And so I give ’em a... I give each one of ’em a glass with quite a few drops of the purification liquid. And in four hours they were up, laughing about how bad they were feeling just a little while before. And they ate dinner that night, normally, and they went to work the next morning.
And the next day a couple more of ’em came down, and the same thing happened. They were treated for malaria in the same way, of course, and they were well.
And after that I traveled through the jungle, and I treated a lot of people in the jungle in South America, which was the country of Guyana. And I became pretty well known in that part of the jungle because I treated a lot of people.
It didn’t always work at that time. I had not done any work with it, and so, sometimes it didn’t work and so... But I still became well known. And finally I went into the city and started treating people in the city. And that wasn’t the thing to do. The government stopped me at that time.
BR: The government in Guyana.
JH: The government in Guyana stopped me because several American drug companies called down there and said, told them, that if they didn’t stop “the guy that was curing malaria” that they were going to stop shipping drugs to the local hospital.
And the reason why I know that is because I had... a friend that I had made when I first got there was the guy that was directly under the president of the country. And he said, he told me, that’s what happened, and they had no choice but they had to make me stop because they couldn’t afford to have their hospital not have drugs. And so that was the situation.
BR: Mm hm.
JH: Anyhow, I went back to the United States and I started working on it, trying to figure out what was in it that caused the malaria to be cured. And I finally realized... What I was using was a solution that is being sold in all the health food stores and had been on the shelves of health food stores for like 75 years in the United States. And it’s called stabilized oxygen.
And so, that’s what I was using -- stabilized oxygen. And I started working with it. And I sent it over to friends that I made in Africa, and they were trying it out on people who had malaria over there and telling me by email how it was working. And so they cured a lot of people.
And in the process, I was working out ways of making it work better and better. So we finally got to the point where it was curing everybody that they treated. There wasn’t any failures. And so, at that point, I didn’t figure that it needed to get any better. And so, I have been working with it the same way.
Now, stabilized oxygen has been used, and people have been talking about oxygen, and how wonderful it was to have the oxygen and stabilized oxygen. It’s been in books and on the internet, and so forth.
But the fact is, there is no useful oxygen in stabilized oxygen. It’s chlorine dioxide is what is available in stabilized oxygen, and there is no oxygen that’s available. So, they have been confused all that time. And that might be one of the reasons why it never got really developed into a... to the point that it would really cure everything that it treated.
However, that was the basics of the development of Miracle Mineral Supplement of the 21st century.
BR: And it was... Basically what you did then, was you figured out a more powerful delivery mechanism of the chlorine dioxide that the stabilized oxygen was delivering in the first place.
JH: Yeah. It was a simple thing, although it took me about a year to figure it out. But any good chemist would have probably figured it out in the first day. But my chemistry was limited to metallurgy, and so, a lot of chemistry I really didn’t understand. So it took me a while to realize what to do to it.
But the simplicity of it was, you simply add some vinegar or some lemon juice, and the acid in the vinegar or the lemon juice releases the chlorine dioxide. And that is what does the work – chlorine dioxide.
Now, chlorine dioxide is not the same as chlorine. And everybody gets really, really afraid of chlorine dioxide when they hear what it is. But it isn’t the same as chlorine at all. It doesn’t create the chemicals that chlorine creates in the body or in water purification systems.
Chlorine will create, in most any water purification system, several carcinogenic, you know, cancer-causing chemicals. But chlorine dioxide does not.
And it’s... chlorine dioxide is as different chlorine as table salt is different from chlorine. Table salt is sodium chloride, and so, it’s made from chlorine. So it’s quite different from chlorine, and it’s very, very effective in the body.
BR: Now, I know a little bit about oxygen therapies, and hydrogen peroxide in particular. Does it work in a similar way to hydrogen peroxide therapy?
JH: Well, it does work in a similar way, but it works in a... It is a less powerful oxidizer than hydrogen peroxide.
Hydrogen peroxide will oxidize many things that chlorine dioxide will not oxidize, which sort of makes chlorine dioxide an ideal oxidizer for the body. It doesn’t have the power to oxidize the healthy cells of the body, or the beneficial bacteria in the body, or a lot of the tissues of the body.
So, while hydrogen peroxide can oxidize a lot of things, chlorine dioxide oxidizes a very limited number of things. And so, the limit it’s limited to is so ideal. It will only oxidize pathogens. That’s the things that cause disease in your body. It only oxidizes the pathogens. And it won’t oxidize any of the beneficial things in the body.
So you don’t really have to worry about it. There’s no side effects from it. There’s nothing to build up with it. It turns into... after it’s in the body for about 2, 3, 4 hours, it turns into a chloride. Guess what. That’s table salt.
And it turns into such a small amount of chloride that it is not anything that you can worry about. It’s maybe two or three grains of table salt from a dose of chlorine dioxide, and that’s all it is. So it leaves nothing behind to cause any kind of side effects, or nothing to build up, to cause side effects.
BR: OK. Now, for people who’ve heard about MMS but who aren’t scientifically minded, what can you say about what you’re reasonably sure it can do? When you say it kills pathogens, you mean it kills harmful viruses and bacteria?
JH: That’s right.
BR: How does it single those out?
JH: The pathogens... In the body, those things that cause diseases – pathogens - are anaerobic.
Now, most everybody understands that there’s aerobic and anaerobic bacteria in the body. And the anaerobic bacteria, anaerobic microorganisms, are the ones that do the damage -- the anaerobic.
The aerobic are oxygen-using bacteria, and they are much more powerful. They’re much stronger than the disease-causing anaerobic microorganisms. So the anaerobic microorganisms are the guys that cause all the trouble, and they’re the weak organisms. They’re not strong.
Just to give you an example of an idea, most people have been out in the woods, and they’ve seen the fungus growing on the trees. Well, that’s anaerobic. And you can walk up to the tree and knock the fungus off because it’s very weak. It don’t have the power that the trees, which are using the oxygen, have -- they’re strong and healthy. But the fungus is very, very weak.
And it’s the same way in your body. The pathogens that don’t use oxygen are very weak. And so, when you put the chloride dioxide in the body, it’s a weak oxidizer, so it can single out the pathogens. Because it’s a weak oxidizer, it only has enough power to oxidize the pathogens.
Now, one thing about it is, although it’s a much weaker oxidizer than the other oxidizers like ozone and hydrogen peroxide, although it’s much weaker, it has a much greater capacity. It can oxidize a lot more. It’ll oxidize twice as much as ozone, or 2-1/2 times as much as ozone, but it can’t oxidize as many different things as ozone. It can only oxidize a few things, but those few things that it does oxidize, it oxidizes with a great deal of power.
It’s sort of like... Chlorine dioxide is an explosive, not only in large quantities, where it will blow your building apart, but it’s explosive in small quantities. To those things it can oxidize, it’s explosive, and it will do that.
And so, while I’m mentioning that, I will just mention to you that the way it kills a pathogen is, it blows a hole in the skin. Now, the normal antibiotic that you take, that antibiotic has to be built just for the particular pathogen it’s going to kill, because it has to go inside, and it has to make the nucleus quit working properly.
BR: Mm hm.
JH: But chlorine dioxide blows a hole in the side. And, because it blows a hole in the side, there is no possibility of any pathogen ever developing a resistance to chlorine dioxide.
Now, chlorine dioxide kills viruses in a slightly different way. Instead of that method, and instead of going in and trying to kill the nucleus of the virus, it prevents the formation of special virus proteins. And, of course, if the proteins can’t form, in a very short period it results in the death or the destruction of the virus.
So, it kills both bacteria and viruses. It also kills fungus, and several of the other types of pathogens that are in the body as well.
BR: It will kill parasites as well?
JH: And it kills parasites. It kills all kinds of parasites and it kills them fast. Because, for example, malaria is caused by a parasite. And, normally speaking, a person who’s given MMS will be well from malaria in four hours. I mean, the worst disease of mankind is well from malaria in four hours.
And it isn’t like we “think” it works. I’ve treated 2,000 people personally. And the people I’ve trained have treated over 100,000 people. And in that 100,000, normally you’d find 400 people that died. Normally in 100,000 people who get malaria, 400 people would be dead. And there were no deaths reported in that 100,000 at all.
So it really works well with malaria, and that’s parasites. And there are a lot of other parasites that we’ve treated as well.
BR: Even large parasites?
JH: Even large parasites. Even worms.
BR: Really.
JH: When we were treating the people in the villages in Africa, ever so often we’d get one kid or a guy and he would cough up a lot of worms, as... you know, as big around as an orange almost. So, it will kill the big ones as well.
BR: So the trials that you’ve done against malaria, where you said you trained somebody or a team who cured 100,000 people, this was in Africa?
JH: In Africa. Yes.
BR: Whereabouts in Africa?
JH: Well, it was both in Kenya and Uganda... some missionary, large missionary, operation in Kenya and Uganda. And then there was guys who I give the material to, MMS to, and they went to Sierra Leone. And then, quite a few people in Tanzania treated. And then, of course, I’ve treated a number of them in Malawi. All of these countries are in Africa, if you don’t recognize them.
BR: And what happens in those countries when word starts to spread that a scourge like malaria is getting handled so easily?
JH: Well, usually a lot of other people come in. But, unfortunately, things happen that sort of slow things down. One thing happened -- there’s a couple of missionaries decided I was evil. And so they told all the missionaries in the area that I was evil, and so that sort of slowed things down. They actually quit using the MMS. And so, many people who wanted to be treated didn’t get treated.
BR: Because you were a threat to the power structure.
JH: Maybe that was it. I don’t know. They just decided. Actually, what happened is, one of the nurses came to me. She had a lot of pain in her hand. And I just put my hand on her hand, and I said: Can you feel my fingers. You know? And she said: Yeah.
And I said: Feel my fingers. And I said it about 3 times.
And she said: Oh, the pain’s going away. I can feel it tingling. You know.
And this missionary come running over and said: Stop that! Stop it. Stop it. And she... I don’t know. She decided that I was evil.
BR: That implies that you’ve actually got healing hands to some degree, do you think?
JH: Well, no, but I developed a technique for healing by touch. I call it Touch Healing. And the basic theory of Touch Healing is that your brain controls all the healing in your body. And so, if you can increase the communication between the brain and the area that’s bad, it will heal faster. And it can heal in minutes sometimes... not always, but it often can.
And... somewhat, a little bit like Reiki, but not really. And the idea is that, as you develop pain in your wrist, the brain don’t like the pain, so it starts turning off the communication. And the worse the pain gets, the least communication. And so now, if you can get that communication going better, the pain will heal faster. It works pretty good. [laughs]
BR: And what response have you had from the orthodox medical establishment? Because the statistics sound pretty impressive.
JH: Well, it depends on where you’re at. In the United States, the medical establishment there is pretty much against MMS.
I had a millionaire who was willing to put up enough money to treat the entire country of Haiti, and so I went there with the idea of doing that. And I tried to communicate with the people there, and I talked to all of the missionaries there. And every one of ’em was connected with a doctor in the United States. And in every case, they called the doctor in the United States, and he says: Don’t have anything to do with it.
So, quite a few of ’em were enthused about doing it, but when their doctor told them not to they didn’t have any... So, the medical establishment in the United States, for the last couple of years, has not been very receptive to it.
But, on the other hand, I’m in Mexico now. And there the doctors have been helping me. A non-profit civil association was formed and a number of doctors have put their names to it. And we’ve started doing clinical trials for AIDS and hepatitis C and cancer. And those trials have been going pretty good.
And we have a guy who’s head of the prison system there. He’s also helping us. So, we’ve had... And the local hospital has agreed to give us 300 blood tests for free. And so, we’ve been out to treat the local Indians in the various tribes near there.
And it’s gone much better in Mexico than it’s gone in the United States, although there’s a lot of bottles of MMS being sold in the United States. There’s at least 15,000 bottles a month being sold in the United States right now.
BR: Are you allowed to say here on camera that MMS will cure cancer?
JH: Sure. [laughs] I can say it. MMS will cure cancer.
BR: OK. That’s a wonderful thing for a lot of people to hear. What statistics have you got on that, realistically, for people who might literally feel they’ve got their lives at stake here? Is there a good chance?
JH: There’s a good chance, in my opinion. You know, I’ve treated a few hundred people in Mexico. Some of ’em were cancer patients. I’ve treated over the telephone, when people call me and I set up treatments for ’em over the telephone, at least 2000 people over the telephone. And I’ve probably treated by email another 4000 people. And I have a lot of stories of people who have been cured of cancer.
I can give you... There was a gal down in Australia who had lung cancer, and the doctor had given her, said: You’re going to die in about 2 weeks. And she, of course, was in bed, and she wasn’t able to get out of bed except they would get her out to go to the bathroom and things like that.
And so, her doctor heard of MMS and brought it to her. He said: You’d just as well take this as not. You’re going to be dead soon anyway. You know.
And she said: Of course, she was willing to take it, what the hell? And in 11 days she was up walking around. And in 15 days, she got in her car and drove it down to the lake and walked around a small lake. And before the month was out, she was back teaching school. She wasn’t completely cured at that time, but since that time, of course, she’s been completed cured.
Just the other day, not more than a month ago, my friend who works with me there in Mexico, his uncle got cancer. And he got worse and worse, and he was finally in bed. And it was a pancreatic cancer. And so, he said: I want to go treat my uncle. And I said: Sure, go treat your uncle.
And so, he got on the plane and he flew to another Mexican city where his uncle was. And his uncle was lying in bed, totally depressed, would hardly even talk to him. And so he says: Here, I‘m going to give you some stuff to take. And he just handed it to him and said: Drink it. [laughs]
And then he did a whole protocol that we have, which is putting the MMS on the outside of the skin, and several other things. And by the next morning, he got up out of bed and walked around a bit.
And by the third day he quit taking the pain tablets. And that’s generally the first thing that really is a good sign, and most always, almost always, happens with cancer patients, is within 2 or 3 days they quit taking the pain tablets. And so he quit taking the pain tablets. And by the end of the week he was talking about going back to work.
Now, when I left Mexico, he wasn’t totally cured, but that guy was up, living his life again at least.
BR: And it works because chlorine dioxide heads straight for anything that’s anaerobic and basically just explodes it.
JH: That’s right.
BR: And cancer cells are anaerobic.
JH: Yes. But there’s a little bit more to it than that with cancer. You see, we put it on the skin. And we use DMSO. That’s a particular material that soaks into the skin. Now, it’s used by people to treat horses all over the world, and it’s used for treating a lot of animals. And a lot of people have used it, too.
BR: What’s that name again?
JH: DMSO. And if you mix it with the MMS, and you put it on the skin, it soaks into the skin and it takes the MMS into the skin, too. And so, when it takes the MMS into the skin, it heads directly for the cancer. And it soaks into the cancer, too.
Instead of attacking the cancer cells, the weak cancerous cells, because it’s DMSO, it soaks into the cell, and it kills the little bug that’s inside the cell that’s causing the cancer and that’s causing the cell to be weak and cancerous.
When you kill that little bug, the cell becomes healthy again. And so, you no longer have to kill the cell. And so the whole theory behind using MMS to kill cancer is, we use it three or four different ways, all on the same guy, because we want to have as much MMS in that person’s body as possible.
We want to make the body -- environment of the body -- totally reject the cancer. And so, the more we can get into the body, the more likely that it will kill the cancer.
But we’re limited, because we can’t make the person sick. We gotta stay giving him just enough that he don’t get sick, but is on the edge of getting sick. [laughs] So we’ve got to keep him just on that very edge. And therefore, it’s pretty intense for cancer. It’s pretty intense. He needs to take it 4 or 5 times a day, small amounts 4 or 5 times a day, instead of a big batch at one time.
BR: What does “small amounts” mean?
JH: Well, “small amounts” means 3, 4, 5, 6 drops of MMS. And, of course, you’ve got to activate the MMS, too, but it’s small amounts.
And then, of course, the MMS that’s put on the outside of the body affects the body in a different way. And it doesn’t cause a Herxheimer reaction -- a Herxheimer reaction being the reaction that’s caused by cells dying -- because it goes in and it kills the bug that’s inside the cancer instead of killing the cancer... inside the cancerous cells, I should say. So it kills the...
So, we’ve been having a lot of luck with cancer and almost every other disease you can imagine.
BR: Now it sounds like... I mean, like now watching this video, there will be people who are paying very close attention to what you’re saying because they may be thinking, you know: This is my last hope. Do they buy a bottle and start taking it? Do they need to consult a practitioner, someone with experience? Are there special protocols for different kinds of cancer?
JH: Well, some people... You know, some people have the ability to self-medicate. And boy, I mean, the medical doctors really hate that. Self-medication, you know, it’s going to keep them from getting a few bucks. [laughs] And so they scream about self-medication all the time.
But self-medication’s a good thing. People are taking responsibility for themselves, and so I recommend that. Either way. If you can find somebody who has experience, that’s good, but get going.
And so, I have all of the data on my different websites. And those websites have protocols on them. And the protocols tell you how to do it, tell you how to do the cancer, tell you how to do others things as well.
And the latest one is, I say, a “Protocol for People who have Life-threatening Diseases.” And that is the latest protocol, and the protocol that we’ve been getting the best results for, for life-threatening diseases like cancer. There are a lot of other things that you don’t need to go that intense with. You can take it much easier.
But normally I have all of those different protocols on, and a lot of other data, too. And, for people who really want to study up on it, I have what’s called a MMS Answers site, and there’s more than 800 questions and answers that I have given people over the last year.
And those questions are cross-referenced in a number of different ways, so you can look up almost anything. If you want to look up pancreas, you can look up pancreas. If you want to look up colon, you can look up colon, or a number of other things in that manner.
BR: So what you want is to give people the power to take their own health welfare back into their own hands, away from the professionals.
JH: Exactly. Exactly. I think the more a person takes responsibility for his own health, the more likely he is to be happy and stay alive.
BR: And, in terms of a list of the diseases which MMS has been shown to be efficacious against, you’re talking malaria, AIDS, cancer. What else?
JH: Flu. Colds. All types of diseases of the mouth. Most people find that they... Even people who think they have healthy mouths, if they will brush with MMS once or twice a day, they’ll find that their gums’ll get harder, their teeth will get more solidly in place, the teeth will get whiter.
The MMS kills any bacteria that’s on the teeth and helps enamel remain solid, and helps the enamel build back to a certain extent. Because if you kill all those bacteria in there, the enamel can improve, to a certain extent. And all kinds of people who’ve had terrible, terrible diseases of the mouth -- and including abscessed teeth. Including abscessed teeth.
Now, for a long time I was pretty much convinced that if the tooth abscessed from the inside, you couldn’t get MMS into it, and therefore you couldn’t cure it if it was abscessed from the inside. But the fact of the matter is... One of my guys said: Hey, I’m gonna try that DMSO and see if it’ll soak in. And so he put it in, and brushed his mouth with a real light, soft toothbrush for a while, just dipping it in the DMSO and the MMS combination, and just brushing it. And in about two days, the abscess in his tooth went away.
Now, that’s a total impossibility, but it works. [laughs] And so, it does really great things with all... I mean, I’ve had lots and lots of people call me and tell me that their mouth was in terrible shape, and tell me how it had improved to normal, or even better than what you consider normal. So, it really works well with fixing the mouth up.
BR: Now there are two modern-day plagues that could spread, so we are told. One is tuberculosis, and the other one is avian flu, if it comes to that. Would you have reason to suspect that MMS could work against both of these?
JH: Well, I sure would. The avian flu... Of course, you know, there’s been an entire multi-billions of people on this Earth. There’s only been 300 cases of avian flu, and those guys that got that was in places that was highly susceptible to it.
The chances of it ever happening is very, very slim, although the president, Bush, thinks, and has been talking about how he expects it to happen, you know. And there’s a lot of people talking about, in the drug cartels, are talking about how it’s going to be, it’s just gonna happen sooner or later, it’s gotta happen but they just don’t know how soon it’s gonna happen, but they know it’s gonna happen.
BR: Some people think it’s been weaponized.
JH: That’s right. There are some people that think it’s been weaponized. But I think that the flu that’s been the most dangerous was the 1917 flu. It killed 50 million people. And they’ve gotten that one back, too. [laughs] So they reconstructed it from people who were buried up in Alaska, who had the flu. And they were buried in ice, and they’ve been in ice all these years.
But I think... MMS kills any flu that I’ve seen so far, and it’s just a pathogen, and so it should be able to kill that flu as well. So, the best way is to keep a bottle of MMS on your shelf. [laughs]
BR: Yes. Is there anything you can say about your own vision for the next few years? Because this has been a staggering story. This started in Guyana, how many years ago?
JH: In 1997 in Guyana. So what’s that? 10 years now.
BR: So in a decade it’s now a world-wide phenomenon.
JH: Yes.
BR: You see it on every discussion board, on every internet forum, and people are talking about it. People are writing to us about it. The alternative health community is abuzz with this. What’s next? Where is this gonna go? What are your personal plans?
JH: Well, I’d like to start in Africa, and take one single country, and just cure all the malaria in that one country. And we’ll get a lot of the AIDS while we’re at it. Of course, AIDS is a much more complex disease and much harder to handle than malaria. But I think that we have some protocols, ways of using MMS, that will probably work on AIDS. So far we’ve had good luck.
BR: What country do you have in mind?
JH: Well, I have the country of Malawi in mind. It may not be that country, but that country would be a good one because I’ve already talked to all of the... I did talk to all of the people in the government there. They were all very helpful. They all were happy to see me. They were happy for me to be treating their people.
There was no governmental problems at all. Even, they had a malaria department in the government, and that department was happy to work with me. So I’d like to go somewhere like... I’d like to go there just because it would be easy to get things going without a lot of getting permission and problems. That would be the main thing.
BR: Is there any possibility that you could get scientific studies written up in the scientific journals?
JH: Yes, there’s a possibility, but I’ve discouraged that. I’ve had chances. People have asked me if I wanted to do that.
And I have discouraged it because we have been a grassroots movement from the very beginning. We’ve been very successful in being a grassroots movement. And when I say “grassroots,” I mean below the government’s radar. They haven’t been aware of us.
And I had one of my friends check with the FDA the other day. He went in and he went to the third man in control in the FDA and asked him about MMS. What did they think about it?
And the guy said: Well, that’s just crap. He said: We don’t worry about things like that. He said: We have these multimillion-dollar corporations that are furnishing herbs that are replacing some of the drugs. And we have a lot of... we don’t have enough money to control them. He says: Why are we gonna worry about some little guy down there in the street selling MMS?
So, they aren’t aware of what MMS’ll do. They’re not aware of what’s happening. And I want to leave it that way. I don’t want the governments and the various different drug companies finding out about it.
I’ve had chances to go on national newspapers, and one or two chances to go on national TV, and I’ve always rejected it -- although I’m happy to go on the internet, and I’ve had a lot of different internet attention.
But I don’t want... I didn’t want to get it spread out so much that the government’s gonna get their hand in it. Because you know what they do; they stop whatever they can. So I’ve been avoiding that. Eventually it’s gonna come, though. Eventually we’re gonna have to let... the news is gonna get out. But I’m gonna wait as long as I can on that.
BR: And you’ve heard one or two stories of people who come up against The-Powers-That-Be and suffer a little bit for that, haven’t you?
JH: I’ve heard of a lot of stories. One of my... A guy that I know pretty well was trying to sell, was selling, a salve that affected cancer. It actually is called the Indian Herb, and it’s been sold for 70 years, and the lady who sells it has like 3,000 letters from people who’ve had cancer cured.
And he was selling this on the internet. And as soon as the FDA heard about it, they come out, and they confiscated his house, and his car, and his whole business, and his bank account. They got everything.
And they put him in jail. And then they kept him from talking to his lawyer by moving him from jail to jail, so that he couldn’t get to talk to his lawyer. And then, after 6 months they finally charged him. They moved him around for 6 months, then after 6 months they finally charged him and they...
And when he said: Not guilty, the judge said: Wait a minute. Let’s go to my chambers. And so the judge took him into his chambers and he said: You’ve got a choice. He said: Either you plead guilty and go to jail for three years, or I’ll make sure you go to jail for 20 years.
And his lawyer wasn’t there, and he didn’t know what to do, so he went ahead and pleaded guilty, went to jail for three years. And he got out of jail a couple years ago and now he’s down in South America. He don’t want anything more to do with the U.S.
But... I had another friend that I know. He’s become a friend because he knows what I’m doing. But he was in Africa curing malaria and some people, representatives from the drug companies, told him to stop. And he said he wasn’t gonna stop. He was gonna continue to cure malaria.
And one night when he went home... Well, he didn’t go home, he went to his hotel room, and he opened the door and a bomb went off and it blew both of his legs off. Didn’t kill him. He’s in California now. He’s in a wheelchair.
That’s just two of the people I know personally. Then a lot of the older guys, like a guy named Koch back in 1917, cured cancer. And his material was sold to many hundreds of doctors, and more than 100,000 people were cured of cancer before the FDA finally stopped him.
So. I can go on. There’s a lot of other stories about the same thing. There’s Rife. Later on, in 1930s, Rife cured another... His equipment and things cured another 100,000 people from cancer. And the FDA stopped him, burned all of his books and all of his laboratory equipment and everything.
And the FDA has burned many books, has had the burning of books many times. The DMSO book was ordered to be burned. And it was burned. They burned all the DMSO books that they could get their hands on.
And so, you gotta stay out of the hands of the drug companies. And of course, the drug companies run the FDA.
In case you don’t know how that goes, the executives from the drug companies take a sabbatical. They take a leave from their drug company, and they go over and be the guy that runs the FDA for a year. And then another drug company. And so, the drug... the FDA in the United States is run by the drug companies. And [laughs] it’s ridiculous.
And they have stopped every case, everything that cures cancer. And they convince the people, which it seems to be easy to convince, they convince the people that these people who actually have cancer cures are charlatans and bad guys, and they convince...
And so, you know, I’ve had three or four friends who died of cancer and they said: Well, I’m not gonna go to those quacks. And actually the medical people are the real quacks. They’re the ones that’s killing everybody. And so it’s... That’s the way it exists right now. It’s kind of a shame
BR: Have you had any threats against you from anybody, or are you under the radar?
JH: I’m still under the radar. I haven’t had any threats. But I live in Mexico, just in case. [laughs] I’m paranoid, so I keep out of the radar, and I don’t think that...
I think I probably have another year or two before the FDA says: Uh oh, this stuff is starting to reduce the income of the drug companies. And that’s what’s going to really do the thing. When the money starts decreasing, when it looks like that the MMS is starting to replace some of the drugs, then that’s what’s going to really make ’em mad.
BR: So your goal is to get as much out there as fast as possible before they...
JH: That’s right. Get as much out. Get as many people using it as possible, so that... And, you know, my book tells how to make it. And it even tells how to manufacture it in your kitchen, so that you can buy the book and set up to manufacture it and furnish it to your neighbors or furnish it to your family, or whatever.
BR: OK. And what you’re saying is... In your book you’ve actually got instructions about how to be completely self-sufficient as far as MMS, if you want to do that.
JH: That’s right. A step-by-step procedure to make a few bottles for yourself, and a step-by-step procedure to make hundreds or thousands of bottles to be sold.
BR: And for anyone who’s thinking of buying some, it goes a very long way. We’re just talking about a few little drops at a time. Right?
JH: That’s right. A $20 bottle will last you, personally... Say, if you want to take a maintenance dose every day, a $20 bottle will last you about a year and a half. And if you’re gonna use it for your whole family, it’ll probably last for 3, 4, 5 months.
And the idea... and everybody has been really good at it... I ask everybody... I don’t sell it myself, except I’m starting to in Mexico, but for the last 10 years I haven’t sold it myself. I give bottles away, but mostly I encourage other people to sell it. And everybody kept the price down.
I said: Look, we want to keep the price down so anybody in the world can afford it. And they all, so far, are humanitarian-type people, and they’re all manufacturing and selling it for the same price, which is $20 a bottle. I don’t care whether it’s in Germany, or South Africa, or Australia, or the United States, or Mexico. It’s $20 a bottle.
And that’s less than a penny a dose. You can cure a case of malaria for 5 cents. And even the people in Africa can afford that. Now, when we go there, we ain’t gonna charge ’em that much. We’re gonna do it for free at first, but they could afford it if they had to.
BR: What’s your spiritual and philosophical backdrop that’s taken you through all these extraordinary years?
JH: Well, I like to believe that I’m a highly spiritual guy, but not religious.
BR: I appreciate the difference.
JH: OK. All right. And so, I believe that the more spiritual a person is, and the more he looks into doing things that he knows is right to do, the more power he has. And I believe that in the whole movement towards a better health movement, or a better movement towards making people well who are sick -- which is totally against what the medical people are doing nowadays -- but I believe that the more people work towards right things, the more power they have.
Because, if they’re really doing what they know is right, they aren’t going to have any guilt. They aren’t... Buried in everybody’s mind somewhere, if he’s doing wrong, if he’s fleecing people of their money, if he’s causing people to die, somewhere deep inside there he knows that he’s doing wrong. And if knows that, he loses more power as time goes on.
And I think that that’s happening on Earth today -- now. I think that as those drug companies cause more and more deaths, and as the FDA causes more and more deaths in more and more people, that they are slowly losing their power. And not nearly as fast as we’d like, but they are losing their power.
And I think that the alternate medicine movement is slowly gaining power, and the people in it are becoming more powerful. And it’s happening to me. What’s happening to me, to a certain extent, is, people are showing up to talk to me about powerful things.
BR: Mm hm.
JH: And I’m not free to discuss most of ’em. But I think that we are on the edge of a paradigm-change in the healing industry. And I think that that paradigm-change will happen in the next very few years. It won’t be a long time.
And that will help us into a paradigm-change in the brutality of man against man. And I don’t know how long that change’ll take. That change may take 50 to a couple of hundred years, but it’s changing. And it never has changed.
For hundreds of thousands of years, there has been no change in the brutality of man against man. I mean, they talk about Jesus, and they talk about Mohammed, and they talk about all of these wonderful people that have come before. And there are hundreds of them, really. And they’ve all taught love, and they’ve all talked about these wonderful things. And there’s been NO change in the paradigm of brutality of man.
And I think that those of us, now, are beginning to come together in communication -- not necessarily gathering in one place, but in communication.
People are talking to me from all over the world. And other people, like this group here, that we’re having a congress here about alternate medicine, and that sort of thing. And I just was to another congress in Mexico City. And congresses are happening all over. And they’re talking about alternate medicine. And these things weren’t happening 20 years ago. Very few of ’em was happening even 10 years ago.
But, believe me, we’re going into a paradigm shift. It’s coming slowly, but it’s gonna happen. And it’s gonna happen because there are a lot of people on Earth now that are beginning to do what they know is right.
BR: I would say that this shift has started. We’re starting to see it in our own lifetime, and we’re very privileged to be here at this time.
JH: That’s right. Yeah. I feel exactly the same way. And I think that... And to carry it a little bit further than that, I think that in the past, many millions of years or thousands of years, that many of us... that there was a group of us who agreed to be here and to work on this particular paradigm shift.
BR: And I’m one of those, too! [laughter]
JH: See? And so, I’m meeting a lot of them. I mean, you’re not just... A lot of people are calling me on the phone and saying: Hey, I remember when we agreed to be here. You know? And things like that.
BR: Sure.
JH: Right. And so we’re doing what we know is right. And we’re so much more powerful than those guys out there that are screwing people over, and causing deaths, and causing suffering and pain, and all that. They don’t have a chance. They’ve lost. They just don’t know it. [laughs] And it’s gonna take a while to get the point across to them, but it’s gonna be. It’s gonna happen.
So that’s the part of it I like to mention because I watched the suffering and the pain for so long that I like to see... I see it happening. I’ve seen the thousands of miracles in the past few years. And I know we’re gonna see a lot more.
BR: I think you’re absolutely right. And you’re right at the vanguard of the shift. You’re part of the movement that’s actually making this happen. You’re exactly in the right place at the right time.
JH: Well, thank you. [laughs]
BR: You’re a great man, sir. You’re a very brave man for coming out to do this stuff so openly. Even if you are underneath the radar, there are tens of thousands of people who will be watching this video and who will be paying very close attention to what you’re saying. You’ll be saving a lot of lives. And I take my hat off to you, sir. [laughter] It’s been a great privilege.
JH: Well, thank you. Certainly it’s my privilege to be here and to have you say such wonderful things.
BR: Thank you, Jim Humble.
JH: You’re welcome. [background applause] Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.
BR: And I meant what I said.
JH: Great. I appreciate it.
BR: I’d love to see you again next year when maybe you can say a little more.
JH: Right!

Uneducated and Docile
I am disillusioned with main-stream education….
schools-the way they enforce conformity, the way they kill the natural
creativity, inquisitiveness, and love of learning that every little child
has at the beginning.
The Educational System Was Designed to Keep Us Uneducated and Docile
By Patrick Grimm
Tuesday, March 3, 2009
It's no secret that the US educational system doesn't do a very good job.
Like clockwork, studies show that America's school kids lag behind their
peers in pretty much every industrialized nation. We hear shocking
statistics about the percentage of high-school seniors who can't find the US
on an unmarked map of the world or who don't know who Abraham Lincoln was.
Fingers are pointed at various aspects of the schooling system-overcrowded
classrooms, lack of funding, teachers who can't pass competency exams in
their fields, etc. But these are just secondary problems. Even if they were
cleared up, schools would still suck. Why? Because they were designed to.
How can I make such a bold statement? How do I know why America's public
school system was designed the way it was (age-segregated, six to eight
50-minute classes in a row announced by Pavlovian bells, emphasis on rote
memorization, lorded over by unquestionable authority figures, etc.)?
Because the men who designed, funded, and implemented America's formal
educational system in the late 1800s and early 1900s wrote about what they
were doing.
Almost all of these books, articles, and reports are out of print and hard
to obtain. Luckily for us, John Taylor Gatto tracked them down. Gatto was
voted the New York City Teacher of the Year three times and the New York
State Teacher of the Year in 1991. But he became disillusioned with
schools-the way they enforce conformity, the way they kill the natural
creativity, inquisitiveness, and love of learning that every little child
has at the beginning. So he began to dig into terra incognita, the roots of
America's educational system.
In 1888, the Senate Committee on Education was getting jittery about the
localized, non-standardized, non-mandatory form of education that was
actually teaching children to read at advanced levels, to comprehend
history, and, egads, to think for themselves. The committee's report stated,
"We believe that education is one of the principal causes of discontent of
late years manifesting itself among the laboring classes."
By the turn of the century, America's new educrats were pushing a new form
of schooling with a new mission (and it wasn't to teach). The famous
philosopher and educator John Dewey wrote in 1897:
Every teacher should realize he is a social servant set apart for the
maintenance of the proper social order and the securing of the right social
growth.
In his 1905 dissertation for Columbia Teachers College, Elwood Cubberly-the
future Dean of Education at Stanford-wrote that schools should be factories
"in which raw products, children, are to be shaped and formed into finished
products.manufactured like nails, and the specifications for manufacturing
will come from government and industry."
The next year, the Rockefeller Education Board-which funded the creation of
numerous public schools-issued a statement which read in part:
In our dreams people yield themselves with perfect docility to our moulding
hands. The present educational conventions [intellectual and character
education] fade from our minds, and unhampered by tradition we work our own
good will upon a grateful and responsive folk. We shall not try to make
these people or any of their children into philosophers or men of learning
or men of science. We have not to raise up from among them authors,
educators, poets or men of letters. We shall not search for embryo great
artists, painters, musicians, nor lawyers, doctors, preachers, politicians,
statesmen, of whom we have ample supply. The task we set before ourselves is
very simple we will organize children and teach them to do in a perfect way
the things their fathers and mothers are doing in an imperfect way.
At the same time, William Torrey Harris, US Commissioner of Education from
1889 to 1906, wrote:
Ninety-nine [students] out of a hundred are automata, careful to walk in
prescribed paths, careful to follow the prescribed custom. This is not an
accident but the result of substantial education, which, scientifically
defined, is the subsumption of the individual.
In that same book, The Philosophy of Education, Harris also revealed:
The great purpose of school can be realized better in dark, airless, ugly
places.. It is to master the physical self, to transcend the beauty of
nature. School should develop the power to withdraw from the external world.
Several years later, President Woodrow Wilson would echo these sentiments in
a speech to businessmen:
We want one class to have a liberal education. We want another class, a very
much larger class of necessity, to forego the privilege of a liberal
education and fit themselves to perform specific difficult manual tasks.
Writes Gatto: "Another major architect of standardized testing, H.H.
Goddard, said in his book Human Efficiency (1920) that government schooling
was about 'the perfect organization of the hive.'"
While President of Harvard from 1933 to 1953, James Bryant Conant wrote that
the change to a forced, rigid, potential-destroying educational system had
been demanded by "certain industrialists and the innovative who were
altering the nature of the industrial process."
In other words, the captains of industry and government explicitly wanted an
educational system that would maintain social order by teaching us just
enough to get by but not enough so that we could think for ourselves,
question the sociopolitical order, or communicate articulately. We were to
become good worker-drones, with a razor-thin slice of the population-mainly
the children of the captains of industry and government-to rise to the level
where they could continue running things.
This was the openly admitted blueprint for the public schooling system, a
blueprint which remains unchanged to this day. Although the true reasons
behind it aren't often publicly expressed, they're apparently still known
within education circles. Clinical psychologist Bruce E. Levine wrote in
2001:
I once consulted with a teacher of an extremely bright eight-year-old boy
labelled with oppositional defiant disorder. I suggested that perhaps the boy
didn't have a disease, but was just bored. His teacher, a pleasant woman,
agreed with me. However, she added, "They told us at the state conference
that our job is to get them ready for the work world that the children have
to get used to not being stimulated all the time or they will lose their
jobs in the real world."
John Taylor Gatto's book, The Underground History of American Education: An
Intimate Investigation into the Problem of Modern Schooling (New York:
Oxford Village Press, 2001), is the source for all of the above historical
quotes. It is a profoundly important, unnerving book, which I recommend most
highly. You can order it from Gatto's Website, which now contains the entire
book online for free.
The final quote above is from page 74 of Bruce E. Levine's excellent book
Commonsense Rebellion: Debunking Psychiatry, Confronting Society (New York:
Continuum Publishing Group, 2001).
The Double Danger of
High Fructose Corn Syrup
By Bill Sanda, BS, MBA
For many years, Dr. Meira Fields and her coworkers at the US Department of Agriculture investigated the harmful effects of dietary sugar on rats. They discovered that when male rats are fed a diet deficient in copper, with sucrose as the carbohydrate, they develop severe pathologies of vital organs. Liver, heart and testes exhibit extreme swelling, while the pancreas atrophies, invariably leading to death of the rats before maturity.
Sucrose is a disaccharide composed of 50 percent glucose and 50 percent fructose. Dr. Fields repeated her experiments to determine whether it was the glucose or fructose moiety that caused the harmful effects. Starch breaks down into glucose when digested. On a copper-deficient diet, the male rats showed some signs of copper deficiency, but not the gross abnormalities of vital organs that occur in rats on the sucrose diet. When the rats were fed fructose, the fatal organ abnormalities occured.
Lysl oxidase is a copper-dependent enzyme that participates in the formation of collagen and elastin. Fructose seems to interfere with copper metabolism to such an extent that collagen and elastin cannot form in growing animals--hence the hypertrophy of the heart and liver in young males. The females did not develop these abnormalities, but they resorbed their litters.1
These experiements should give us pause when we consider the great increase in the use of high fructose corn syrup during the past 30 years, particularly in soft drinks, fruit juices and other beverages aimed at growing children, children increasingly likely to be copper deficient as modern parents no longer serve liver to their families. (Liver is by far the best source of copper in human diets.)
"The bodies of the children I see today are mush," observed a concerned chiropractor recently. The culprit is the modern diet, high in fructose and low in copper-containing foods, resulting in inadequate formation of elastin and collagen--the sinews that hold the body together.
BINGEING ON FRUCTOSE
Until the 1970s most of the sugar we ate came from sucrose derived from sugar beets or sugar cane. Then sugar from corn--corn syrup, fructose, dextrose, dextrine and especially high fructose corn syrup (HFCS)--began to gain popularity as a sweetener because it was much less expensive to produce. High fructose corn syrup can be manipulated to contain equal amounts of fructose and glucose, or up to 80 percent fructose and 20 percent glucose.2 Thus, with almost twice the fructose, HFCS delivers a double danger compared to sugar.
(With regards to fruit, the ratio is usually 50 percent glucose and 50 percent fructose, but most commercial fruit juices have HFCS added. Fruit contains fiber which slows down the metabolism of fructose and other sugars, but the fructose in HFCS is absorbed very quickly.)
In 1980 the average person ate 39 pounds of fructose and 84 pounds of sucrose. In 1994 the average person ate 66 pounds of sucrose and 83 pounds of fructose, providing 19 percent of total caloric energy.3 Today approximately 25 percent of our average caloric intake comes from sugars, with the larger fraction as fructose.4
High fructose corn syrup is extremely soluble and mixes well in many foods. It is cheap to produce, sweet and easy to store. It’s used in everything from bread to pasta sauces to bacon to beer as well as in "health products" like protein bars and "natural" sodas.
FRUCTOSE FOR DIABETICS?
In the past, fructose was considered beneficial to diabetics because it is absorbed only 40 percent as quickly as glucose and causes only a modest rise in blood sugar.5 However, research on other hormonal factors suggests that fructose actually promotes disease more readily than glucose. Glucose is metabolized in every cell in the body but all fructose must be metabolized in the liver.6 The livers of test animals fed large amounts of fructose develop fatty deposits and cirrhosis, similar to problems that develop in the livers of alcoholics.
Pure fructose contains no enzymes, vitamins or minerals and robs the body of its micronutrient treasures in order to assimilate itself for physiological use.7 While naturally occurring sugars, as well as sucrose, contain fructose bound to other sugars, high fructose corn syrup contains a good deal of "free" or unbound fructose. Research indicates that this free fructose interferes with the heart’s use of key minerals like magnesium, copper and chromium. Among other consequences, HFCS has been implicated in elevated blood cholesterol levels and the creation of blood clots. It has been found to inhibit the action of white blood cells so that they are unable to defend the body against harmful foreign invaders.8
Studies on the Maillard reaction indicate that fructose may contribute to diabetic complications more readily than glucose. The Maillard reaction is a browning reaction that occurs when compounds are exposed to various sugars. Fructose browns food seven times faster than glucose, resulting in a decrease in protein quality and a toxicity of protein in the body.9 This is due to the loss of amino acid residues and decreased protein digestibility. Maillard products can inhibit the uptake and metabolism of free amino acids and other nutrients such as zinc, and some advanced Maillard products have mutagenic and/or carcinogenic properties. The Maillard reactions between proteins and fructose, glucose, and other sugars may play a role in aging and in some clinical complications of diabetes.10
Fructose reduces the affinity of insulin for its receptor, which is the hallmark of type-2 diabetes. This is the first step for glucose to enter a cell and be metabolized. As a result, the body needs to pump out more insulin to handle the same amount of glucose.21
OTHER EFFECTS
Nancy Appleton, PhD, clinical nutritionist, has compiled a list of the harmful effects of fructose in her books Lick the Sugar Habit, Healthy Bones, Heal Yourself With Natural Foods, The Curse Of Louis Pasteur and Lick the Sugar Habit Sugar Counter. She points out that consumption of fructose causes a significant increase in the concentration of uric acid; after ingestion of glucose, no significant change occurs. An increase in uric acid can be an indicator of heart disease.12 Furthermore, fructose ingestion in humans results in increases in blood lactic acid, especially in patients with preexisting acidotic conditions such as diabetes, postoperative stress or uremia. Extreme elevations cause metabolic acidosis and can result in death.13
Fructose is absorbed primarily in the jejunum before metabolism in the liver. Fructose is converted to fatty acids by the liver at a greater rate than is glucose.14 When consumed in excess of dietary glucose, the liver cannot convert all of the excess fructose in the system and it may be malabsorbed. The portion that escapes conversion may be thrown out in the urine. Diarrhea can be a consequence.19 A study of 25 patients with functional bowel disease showed that pronounced gastrointestinal distress may be provoked by malabsorption of small amounts of fructose.26
Fructose interacts with oral contraceptives and elevates insulin levels in women on "the pill."17
In studies with rats, fructose consistently produces higher kidney calcium concentrations than glucose. Fructose generally induces greater urinary concentrations of phosphorus and magnesium and lowered urinary pH compared with glucose.18
In humans, fructose feeding leads to mineral losses, especially higher fecal excretions of iron and magnesium, than did subjects fed sucrose. Iron, magnesium, calcium, and zinc balances tended to be more negative during the fructose-feeding period as compared to balances during the sucrose-feeding period.19
There is significant evidence that high sucrose diets may alter intracellular metabolism, which in turn facilitates accelerated aging through oxidative damage. Scientists found that the rats given fructose had more undesirable cross-linking changes in the collagen of their skin than in the other groups. These changes are also thought to be markers for aging. The scientists say that it is the fructose molecule in the sucrose, not the glucose, that plays the larger part.20
Because it is metabolized by the liver, fructose does not cause the pancreas to release insulin the way it normally does. Fructose converts to fat more than any other sugar. This may be one of the reasons Americans continue to get fatter. Fructose raises serum triglycerides significantly. As a left-handed sugar, fructose digestion is very low. For complete internal conversion of fructose into glucose and acetates, it must rob ATP energy stores from the liver.21
Not only does fructose have more damaging effects in the presence of copper deficiency, fructose also inhibits copper metabolism--another example of the sweeteners double-whammy effect. A deficiency in copper leads to bone fragility, anemia, defects of the connective tissue, arteries, and bone, infertility, heart arrhythmias, high cholesterol levels, heart attacks, and an inability to control blood sugar levels.22
Although these studies were not designed to test the effects of fructose on weight gain, the observation of increased body weight associated with fructose ingestion is of interest. One explanation for this observation could be that fructose ingestion did not increase the production of two hormones, insulin and leptin, that have key roles in the long-term regulation of food intake and energy expenditure.23
HYPERSENSIVITY
The magnitude of the deleterious effects of fructose varies depending on such factors as age, sex, baseline glucose, insulin, triglyceride concentrations, the presence of insulin resistance, and the amount of dietary fructose consumed.24 Some people are more sensitive to fructose. They include hypertensive, hyperinsulinemic, hypertriglyceridemic, non-insulin dependent diabetic people, people with functional bowel disease and postmenopausal women.25
Everyone should avoid over-exposure to fructose, but especially those listed above. One or two pieces of fruit per day is fine, but commercial fruit juices and any products containing high fructose corn syrup aremore dangerous than sugar and should be removed from the diet.

SOFT DRINKS IN THE SCHOOLS
High fructose corn syrup is the primary sweetener used in soft drinks, now readily available to children in school vending machines. The soft drink industry increased US production from 22 to 41 gallons of soft drinks per person a year between 1970 and 1997.
Teenagers and children, the industry’s main tragets, are among the largest consumers. In the past 10 years, soft drink consumption among children has almost doubled in the United States. Teenage boys now drink, on average, three or more cans of soda per day, and 10 percent drink seven or more cans a day. The average for teenage girls is more than two cans a day, and 10 percent drink more than five cans a day. A typical 20-ounce Coke contains zero fat, zero protein and 67 grams of carbohydrates, usually in the form of high fructose corn syrup.
There are an estimated 20,000 vending machines in schools nationwide, according to the National Automatic Merchandising Association. The USDA collected data on vending machines in schools and reported that 88 percent of high schools, 61 percent of middle schools and 14 percent of elementary schools have food or beverage vending machines for student use. Thirty-four percent of high schools and 15 percent of middle schools permit students to use school vending machines at any time, and 6 percent of elementary schools allow students to use vending machines during lunch.

Climate Change Conference: Genocidal Global Warming Policies will Kill Hundreds of Millions
EIR
March 13, 2009
Yesterday, Dr. Arthur Robinson, Director of the Oregon Institute of Science and Medicine and the originator of the petition against Al Gore’s global warming hoax which as of now 32,000 scientists have signed, told the 2nd International Conference on Climate Change, that the people like Al Gore who promote global warming alarmism are committing genocide by the withdrawal of technology from the developing world. Speaking at the conference hosted by the Heartland Institute in New York City, he said, “there is a current example of genocide by the removal of technology, and that is the ban on DDT, and that has resulted in the deaths of 30 to 40 million people and has left half a billion infected with malaria.”
The three-day conference is the second annual event sponsored by The Heartland Institute. The speakers include Lord Christopher Monckton, who prepared the "Global Warming Swindle" video tape, MIT meteorologist Richard Lindzen, and Fred Singer, an atmospheric physicist.
Dr. Lindzen said that "the process of co-opting science on behalf of a political movement has had an extraordinarily corrupting influence on science—especially
since the issue has been a major motivation for funding. Most funding
for climate would not be there without this issue. And, it should be
added, most science funded under the rubric of climate does not
actually deal with climate, but rather with the alleged impact of
arbitrarily assumed climate change.

How to piss off credit card companies and get away with it.
Here's a little secret that might piss off credit card companies and potentially get them to stop harassing you with upwards of 20 credit card applications per week. Some people have known this for years, and since a fair amount of people will read this I feel that it's my duty and obligation to share this secret with you, because based on the email I've received, I don't always get the sharpest tools in the shed reading my site (as opposed to the regular tools who read this site). For the slow: I'm saying that you're stupid and wouldn't come up with this idea on your own; pay attention.
There are two types of junk mail that everyone gets: coupons for stupid bullshit that you don't want, and credit card applications for credit to buy stupid bullshit that you don't need. Here's how to take care of all your junk mail in one fell swoop: use the postage-paid envelope that credit card companies send you with their applications to send them the OTHER junk mail you receive. It's just that simple. Imagine the frustration of credit card companies when they have to spend millions of dollars every year on first-class postage just to open up an envelope and find Pizza Hut coupons inside. The envelopes are intended to be used for "BUSINESS REPLY MAIL," and so use them for their intended purpose. You're sending them valuable money-saving coupons which could mean big savings to credit card companies, and it makes good business sense to use them. Consider it a reply to their business proposition with a business proposition of your own: 35 cents off a large, one-topping pizza. In fact, they should be thanking you for giving them these money-saving opportunities. Or how about sending them credit card applications from other credit card companies? Be creative.
Not only will you be pissing off the credit card companies by wasting their time and money (since they have to spend time opening all your mail), but you'll also be pissing off all the other companies that send you junk mail: Pizza Hut, McDonalds, Burger King, Papa John's and endless AT&T and AOL "free trial" offers (although I do admit that the free trial CDs make great coasters). This is of course only true if the credit card companies don't have the business sense to use your valuable coupons, and if they did then everyone would be happy.
Consider it an added bonus for your efforts to frustrate the mafia-like credit card companies. They'll do anything short of giving you head to get you to join, and I'm sure they haven't thrown out that idea entirely (Star Trek fans rejoice). Canceling is a bitch because they always try to "cross-sell" when you call in, even when you call to terminate your service. Cross-selling is when credit card or phone companies try to sell you junk in addition to what you ordered because they're greedy assholes and want to charge you as much as they can with every transaction they make. Ever call in to order something over the phone and the representative tries to sell you a service that is "free for the first three months"? That's a cross-sell. They're trying to get you to sign up for some useless service that will be billed to your credit card long after you've forgotten to cancel after your "free" three month trial period. What a crock.
What more: every time you sign up for a credit card, the credit card company gives your name to telemarketers (unless they explicitly state that they don't). Telemarketers then call to sell you a service that the credit card companies pay them to sell to you. That's not even the worst: phone companies sell you services to block telemarketers, then they bypass their own filters to have telemarketers call you to sell you more products from the same company.
So it's time to grow a pair and fight back. If you've ever been annoyed with their junk mail, send it back to them with some junk mail of your own. What can the credit card companies do? They only have two options:
1. Stop sending postage paid envelopes--unlikely since they know they'll lose a lot of applications if people are expected to pay for their own postage.
2. Stop harassing you with an endless flow of credit card applications.
They can't do anything about it because this is simply your way of telling them you're not interested, and giving them valuable coupons that could save them a lot of money, so spread the word: junk the junk.
