Uncovering Causes, Not Covering Symptoms

Weight loss: it may not be isn’t just caloric restriction that reduces weight. It’s the ratio of the macronutrients – carbs, proteins and fats — to one another. And it’s the latter, fat,  we are concerned with today as a new online experiment tries out the “eat fat to lose fat” theory (based on the book of that title by Mary Enig and Sally Fallon). “The Fat Experiment” is about a 21 year old woman who weighs 296 pounds at 5′8″. Her goal is to lose 40-50% of her current body weight and she will do this on a Weston Price diet consisting of roughly 60 percent fat. Specifically, on her “Principles” page she lists the features of healthy, traditional diets she will be following. Spot-on. I look forward to following her progress. She begins the experiment by posting the following YouTube video. She obviously takes her goal very seriously. We take her at her word and wish her the utmost success. We will follow this and publish updates along the way. In the meantime please become a regular visitor to her blog and offer your support http://thefatexperiment.wordpress.com/ She rocks — let’s let her know we are out here!

Raw milk enthusiasts take note:
These videos are brand new; online as of this writing for less than a week.
For those who may be interested in how a physician used raw milk to heal people of serious illness, visit our previous post on this subject via this link.

And while we are on the topic of raw milk, I ran across a blog with an interesting take on it. The author writes: I don’t think the milk of Biblical times was pasteurized.  If God doesn’t have a problem with raw milk, why do we? Check out his post entitled “Raw Milk Wars.”

With a name like Campaign for Real Health, you can be certain we are interested only in real causes and real solutions without which “real health” is only a wish. In this regard, Doug Kaufmann of “Know the Cause” fame is a kindred spirit. We are pleased to introduce you to Doug and his work.

But first, we at this site are deeply skeptical of what might be considered dubious, or false causes and false solutions, such as the cholesterol myth, the vaccine  “is always safe and is always the key to disease prevention” myth and the “sugar is OK but red meat is always bad” myth of conventional thinking, among many others  This last one was driven home to me by an older lady friend of mine who had just completed standard medical breast cancer treatment. Her physician told her to stay away from red meat but that there would be no problem with her eating sugar.  Such advice is truly ignorant of the benefits of properly raised, grass-finished beef, and the devastating consequences of introducing refined sugars into the body. Here’s a hint: the one — grass fed beef — is an omega 3-rich food that is good for inflammation while helping to boost the immune system and –  as you will read below — can even kill fungi, while the other — sugar — helps cancer grow, increases arterial plaque, and dampens the immune system for hours after its ingestion. It also feeds fungus. Perfect segue, so let’s get on to Doug Kaufmann of “Know the Cause” his fungal theory of disease — and I believe, a genuine REAL step in the direction of REAL health.  Read more...

This is just coming in. Jordan McFarland, 14, of Virginia,  was hospitalized for several days after coming down with Guillain-Barre syndrome within hours of having received the vaccine.

There have been reports of six cases of Guillain-Barre syndrome since October 6 according to officials. And overall, the CDC reports some 1700 adverse reactions of which four percent were termed “serious”

Those who suffer ANY kind of adverse reaction may have no  legal recourse because, as we reported earlier, the U.S. has ” immunized” pharmaceutical companies from liability lawsuits that result from any H1N1 vaccines.

What is Guillain-Barre syndrome? A detailed answer is here; in brief, it is a situation of paralysis resulting from an immune response to foreign antigens gone awry.

The boy in the story today is reportedly weak and struggling to walk. He faces weeks of physical therapy and the use of a walker.

We reported previously about shocking Swine Flu vaccine reactions.

Guillain-Barre syndrome shares a special connection with the 1976 Swine flu scare (and if you go here you will see that back in May of this year, “experts” were telling us this that any vaccine this year should present no risk of GBS — tell that to the boy in Virginia…). However, Swine Flu vaccines are not the only kind of vaccine that can bring on Guillain-Barre syndrome; it results from other types of vaccines, too, as you will see in the video below. Watch:  Read more...

This is our introduction to a major new article which everyone should read before getting vaccinated.

http://www.theatlantic.com/doc/200911/brownlee-h1n1

Swine-Flew

Having read it, a physician friend of mine who referred to the article as “an extreme eye opener” offered the following analogy: “Trying to defend yourself from the flu by getting a vaccine is like trying to defend your house by firing a cannon at meteors. First, the meteor is unlikely to strike your house; second, you are unlikely to hit the meteor with your cannon; and third, even if you hit the meteor with the cannon, you may still be injured by the debris.” Real protection against influenza? When pigs fly…

“Does the Vaccine Matter?“  is about both seasonal influenza vaccines in general, and the H1N1. vaccine Given its publication in The Atlantic, which is no hotbed of alternative medical thinking, one might conclude that a broader swath of  people have begun to think twice about the supposed wisdom and efficacy vaccines.  The article  begins with a premise:

In the U.S., the main lines of defense are pharmaceutical—vaccines and antiviral drugs to limit the spread of flu and prevent people from dying from it. Yet now some flu experts are challenging the medical orthodoxy and arguing that for those most in need of protection, flu shots and antiviral drugs may provide little to none. So where does that leave us if a bad pandemic strikes?  Read more...

Roby D. Mitchell, M.D. practices medicine at the Tahoma Clinic in Washington State. An expert in nutritional medicine and fitness,  he specializes in hormone replacement therapy. His favorite quote is: “You’ll never medicate your way out of diseases you behave yourself into”. You can read about him here and see his CV here.

Dr. Mitchell recently wrote an extensive  piece on the problems and risks of the swine flu vaccine for Doug Kaufmann’s Know the Cause Blog. He begins:

“Most people just get in line and roll up their sleeves; no questions asked. At the very least, they should read the package insert for the H1N1 vaccine. Actually, it should be a requirement that it be read and explained to them by a doctor or whomever administers the injection. This amounts to a free phase 4 trial for the drug companies. Normally, they would have to give informed consent, pay the victim, and be liable for damages for adverse outcomes. With this travesty, they have pushed through laws that indemnify them from any law suits. If you get Guillain-Barre or some other permanent neuropathy, tough cookies.  Read more...
