Swine Flu
The Society of Homeopathy advises anyone concerned
to consult the NHS advice available at www.nhs.uk/AlertsEmergencies/Pages/Pandemicflualert.aspx
and to follow the symptom checker if necessary, contacting their
GP or NHS Direct on 0845 4647 if they are still worried.
The single most effective way to stop or slow
the spread of diseases such as swine flu is to prevent the spread
of germs by:
· washing your hands regularly with soap
and water
· covering your mouth and nose if you cough or sneeze
· disposing of used tissues as soon as possible
· staying at home if you do become ill
Registered members of The Society of Homeopaths
(RSHoms) regularly prescribe for patients suffering with common
ailments such as colds and flu.

Ten Things You're Not Supposed to Know
about the Swine Flu Vaccine
by Mike Adams, the Health Ranger, NaturalNews Editor
(NaturalNews) She was deathly afraid
of the flu.
So she asked her doc what she should do.
He jabbed her unseen
With a swine flu vaccine
Blurting, "Darling, I haven't a clue."
- by the Health Ranger
Let's not beat around the bush on this issue:
The swine flu vaccines now being prepared for mass injection into
infants, children, teens and adults have never been tested and won't
be tested before the injections begin. In Europe, where flu vaccines
are typically tested on hundreds (or thousands) of people before
being unleashed on the masses, the European Medicines Agency is
allowing companies to skip the testing process entirely.
And yet, amazingly, people are lining up to take
the vaccine, absent any safety testing whatsoever. When the National
Institutes of Health in the U.S. announced a swine flu vaccine trial
beginning in early August, it was inundated with phone calls and
emails from people desperate to play the role of human guinea pigs.
The power of fear to herd sheeple into vaccine injections is simply
amazing...
Back in Europe, of course, everybody gets to be
a guinea pig since no testing will be done on the vaccine at all.
Even worse, the European vaccines will be using adjuvants -- chemicals
used to multiply the potency of the active ingredients in vaccines.
Notably, there is absolutely no safety data on
the use of adjuvants in infants and expectant mothers -- the two
groups being most aggressively targeted by the swine flu vaccine
pushers. The leads us to the disturbing conclusion that the swine
flu vaccine could be a modern medical disaster. It's untested and
un-tried. Its ingredients are potentially quite dangerous, and the
adjuvants being used in the European vaccines are suspected of causing
neurological disorders.
Paralyzed by vaccines
I probably don't need to remind you that in 1976, a failed swine
flu vaccine caused irreparable damage to the nervous systems of
hundreds of people, paralyzing many. Medical doctors gave the problem
a name, of course, to make it sound like they knew what they were
talking about: Guillain-Barre syndrome. (Notably, they never called
it "Toxic Vaccine Syndrome" because that would be too
informative.)
But the fact remains that doctors never knew how
the vaccines caused these severe problems, and if the same event
played out today, all the doctors and vaccine pushers would undoubtedly
deny any link between the vaccines and paralysis altogether. (That's
what's happening today with the debate over vaccines and autism:
Complete denial.)
In fact, there are a whole lot of things you'll
never be told by health authorities about the upcoming swine flu
vaccine. For your amusement, I've written down the ten most obvious
ones and published them below.
Ten things you're not supposed to know about the swine flu vaccine
(At least, not by anyone in authority...)
#1 - The vaccine production was "rushed"
and the vaccine has never been tested on humans. Do you like to
play guinea pig for Big Pharma? If so, line up for your swine flu
vaccine this fall...
#2 - Swine flu vaccines contain dangerous adjuvants
that cause an inflammatory response in the body. This is why they
are suspected of causing autism and other neurological disorders.
#3 - The swine flu vaccine could actually increase
your risk of death from swine flu by altering (or suppressing) your
immune system response. There is zero evidence that even seasonal
flu shots offer any meaningful protection for people who take the
jabs. Vaccines are the snake oil of modern medicine.
#4 - Doctors still don't know why the 1976 swine
flu vaccines paralyzed so many people. And that means they really
have no clue whether the upcoming vaccine might cause the same devastating
side effects. (And they're not testing it, either...)
#5 - Even if the swine flu vaccine kills you,
the drug companies aren't responsible. The U.S. government has granted
drug companies complete immunity against vaccine product liability.
Thanks to that blanket immunity, drug companies have no incentive
to make safe vaccines, because they only get paid based on quantity,
not safety (zero liability).
#6 - No swine flu vaccine works as well as vitamin
D to protect you from influenza. That's an inconvenient scientific
fact that the U.S. government, the FDA and Big Pharma hope the people
never realize.
#7 - Even if the swine flu vaccine actually works,
mathematically speaking if everyone else around you gets the vaccine,
you don't need one! (Because it can't spread through the population
you hang with.) So even if you believe in the vaccine, all you need
to do is encourage your friends to go get vaccinated...
#8 - Drug companies are making billions of dollars
from the production of swine flu vaccines. That money comes out
of your pocket -- even if you don't get the jab -- because it's
all paid by the taxpayers.
#9 - When people start dying in larger numbers
from the swine flu, rest assured that many of them will be the very
people who got the swine flu vaccine. Doctors will explain this
away with their typical Big Pharma logic: "The number saved
is far greater than the number lost." Of course, the number
"saved" is entirely fictional... imaginary... and exists
only in their own warped heads.
#10 - The swine flu vaccine centers that will
crop up all over the world in the coming months aren't completely
useless: They will provide an easy way to identify large groups
of really stupid people. (Too bad there isn't some sort of blue
dye that we could tag 'em with for future reference...)
The lottery, they say, is a tax on people who
can't do math. Similarly, flu vaccines are a tax on people who don't
understand health.

PRESS RELEASE:
UPDATE ON BCA v SIMON SINGH, 7 MAY 2009
In April 2008 Simon Singh published an article in the Guardian newspaper
and on Guardian Online in the course of which he wrote that:
“the British Chiropractic Association claims that their members
can help treat children with colic, sleeping
and feeding problems, frequent ear infections, asthma and prolonged
crying, even though there is not a jot of evidence. This organization
is the respectable face of the chiropractic profession and yet it
happily
promotes bogus treatments.”
The BCA asked Dr Singh to retract his allegations because they are
factually wrong, defamatory and damaging to the BCA’s reputation.
Dr Singh refused to do so. In July 2008, the BCA issued libel proceedings
against Dr Singh. He defended his position and the case has been
continuing.
At a hearing on 7 May 2009 in the Royal Courts of Justice before
Mr Justice Eady, Dr Singh’s submissions that what he published
was not defamatory and that it was fair comment were roundly rejected
by the Judge. Mr Justice Eady held:
1. that what Dr Singh had published was defamatory of the BCA in
exactly the way the BCA had claimed; and
2. that Dr Singh’s allegations were not comment but were serious
defamatory allegations of fact against the BCA.
Dr Singh’s application for permission to appeal to the Court
of Appeal was refused by the Judge. Dr Singh has indicated, however,
that he proposes to challenge that decision at the Court of Appeal
and he now has three weeks to lodge that challenge.
Mr Justice Eady ordered Dr Singh to pay the BCA’s costs of
the hearing within 28 days. After the hearing BCA President Dr Tony
Metcalfe said, “The BCA brought this claim to preserve its
integrity and reputation. I’m delighted that the Judge has
vindicated the BCA’s position.”
The trial will conclude later this year.
The
National Health Freedom-UK branch is launched
WORLD'S OLDEST HEALTH-FREEDOM GROUP LAUNCHES FULL-TIME
OPERATIONS IN THE U.K March9, 2009
On March 17, 2009, in Cardiff, Wales, the National
Health Federation - the World's oldest health-freedom organization
for consumers begins a new chapter in its existence with the launch
of its NHF-UK branch. With members in some 17 different countries,
including the United Kingdom, the NHF has long had a member presence
in the UK. However, with the launch of the NHF-UK, its activities
in Great Britain will have a continuous UK presence with a focus
on those health-freedom issues important to the British people -
such as maintaining and expanding traditional health rights while
protecting against unnecessary and dangerous fluoridation, vaccinations,
GMO-contaminated foods, and Codex and EU bureaucratic over-regulation
and strangulation of health freedoms. Glenda M Davies, NHF-UK's
Executive Director, said, 'Health freedom has always been important
as a way of ensuring that individuals have unhindered access to
those many different healthcare treatments, whether conventional
or alternative, that such individuals wish to use for themselves
and their families. Unfortunately, we have seen a steady erosion
of our right to choose and, with it, an erosion of control over
our own bodies and healthcare decisions. With the launch of NHF-UK,
we begin a concerted effort of many voices joined together to stop
and reverse this erosion of our rights.' Ian R Crane, author, researcher
and lecturer, and the 'midwife' for the birth of NHF-UK says, "The
formal constitution of the NHF-UK presents a tremendous opportunity
for supporting and promoting the various individuals
and groups throughout the UK, who are committed to challenging the
Bio-Tech
and Agri-business agenda; i.e. to effectively eliminate organic
farming and
marginalize the Complementary and Alternative Health industry."
Scott C Tips, the NHF President, commented that,
"This is a very
important step for the National Health Federation and for health
freedom -
both in Britain and elsewhere in the World. For far too long we
have seen
our health-freedom rights trampled upon with disdain and ease. Bureaucrats
and Members of Parliament alike have little comprehension and appreciation
of the well-established fact that the best health for a population
comes
from freedom and not from the blind, heavy-handed, dead-weight of
numerous
'protective' rules and regulations, most of which are imposed upon
us by
unelected and therefore unaccountable bureaucrats with little knowledge
of
how the real world works. By joining our health-freedom voices together
here in Britain, we can reassert our health-freedom rights and thus
our
health."
Join the NHF-UK by contacting Glenda Davies at
glenda@thenhf.co.uk or at contact-us@thenhf.com.
Established in 1955, the National Health Federation is an international
consumer-education, health-freedom organization working to protect
individuals' rights to choose to consume healthy food, take supplements,
and
use alternative therapies without needless government restrictions.
With
consumer members all over the World, and a Board of Governors and
Advisory
Board containing representatives from 7 different countries, the
Federation
is unique as being the only consumer health-freedom organization
in the
World to enjoy official observer status (able to speak out for health
freedom) at meetings of the Codex Alimentarius Commission, the highest
international body on food standards.

Health
Freedom in the UK by Glenda M. Davies, NHF-UK Executive Director
As we currently stand in the United Kingdom we
do still have a good choice over our health and have the freedom
to seek the advice of an alternative health practitioner. We can
also walk into any natural health-store and choose to buy good-quality,
high-dose vitamins, minerals, and herbal supplements and at reasonable
prices. There are only three other countries in the European Union
where this could also be said.
However, it is worrying that in a couple of years’ time this
might not still be the case, with the full implementation of the
European Union’s Food Supplements Directive, which is due
to come into effect at the start of 2010. The United Kingdom, Ireland,
Sweden, and the Netherlands will be dragged down to the harshly-restrictive
level of control seen in France and Germany.
Strict Product Licences
Under one of the articles of this Directive, vitamin, mineral, and
herbal supplement producers will have to manufacture their products
under a strict product licence. And while most practitioners here
think that more-stringent manufacturing procedures might reduce
even further the risk of contamination and guarantee even higher-quality
supplements, the far-more negative side to this part of the Directive
would be, among other things, increased manufacturing costs and
therefore increased retail costs for consumers.
Importantly, too, we will only see the production of low-concentration
supplements at exorbitant prices, manufactured by large corporate
giants who can afford the product-licence fee. For those consumers
wishing to purchase high-dose supplements (for example, 1000mg Vitamin
C), they will only be available – if at all – prescription
only, which, when that does happen, we are not likely to get hold
of. Ironically, enough, in this supposed quest for consumer safety,
the net result will be less consumer safety and lower health because
consumers will no longer have access to those necessarily higher-dose
nutrients that will effectively support their optimal health!
Absurdly Low Safe Upper Levels
The other and even more-worrying issue about this Directive is its
unwillingness to accept the production of vitamin and mineral supplements
within true upper safety levels, but rather at levels far lower
than the suggested optimum nutritional allowance (SONA) as is currently
the case. Our health will be the victim of this Directive.
Under the new scheme our supplements will be manufactured at levels
based purely on a multiple that will be set well below the recommended
daily allowances (RDA) and in fact we are seeing this already as
one pharmaceutical giant has started producing a Vitamin-C supplement
at 10 milligrams, well below the 1000-milligram optimum level!
Bullying Tactics
Most small natural-health businesses see this as nothing less than
bullying tactics by the big giants and ultimately such businesses
will be priced out of the market. There are a number of regional
groups here that are fighting this legislation, such as the Consumers
for Health Choice and the Alliance for Natural Health, now joined
by the National Health Federation-UK; and there is a case being
brought forward at the Court for Human Rights.
I intend to contact my Member of European Parliament (MEP) as a
matter of urgency on this subject. On the 17th March, Scott Tips
and Ian Crane addressed the Welsh public on the issues of this Directive
in particular and of Codex Alimentarius in general. Incidentally,
March 17th falls as St Patrick’s Day and since St Patrick
was actually a Welshman, I think it was an appropriate time to wake-up
Wales to these issues and launch our NHF in the United Kingdom!
Now that NHF is here, look for more action on several fronts vital
to our health. And join the NHF-UK to help us advance health freedom
here in the United Kingdom.

Click Group items
4 March 2009 THE ONE CLICK GROUP REPONSE Professor David
Salisbury Threatens Legal Action For The Attention Of: Professor David
Salisbury Messrs. Blake Lapthom, Solicitors One Click Group Director
Jane Bryant writes: “Firstly, I would like to thank the many
friends of One Click for their assistance in the composition of this
Open Letter in answer to the litigation threatened against our pressure
group by Professor David Salisbury, Head of Immunisation at the UK
Department of Health. From the satire to the serious, your creative
and constructive proposals from around the world have informed this
response. I would also like to personally thank Professor David Salisbury
for supporting the wide reach of the material published by One Click.
As his solicitors write: ‘The postings on the website have a
wide circulation....’ Such a ringing endorsement from one such
as Professor Salisbury is always welcome. Thank you.” Introduction
THE ONE CLICK GROUP www.theoneclickgroup.co.uk Email mail@theoneclickgroup.co.uk
On 26 February 2009, Professor David Salisbury,
Head of Immunisation at the UK Department of Health, instructed
Blake Lapthom, a firm of solicitors based in Eastleigh, to initiate
legal proceedings against The One Click Group unless we comply with
the following: The removal from our website of the MMR Vaccine –
GMC Formal Complaint submitted to the General Medical Council by
grandfather Bill Welsh and the article entitled To Encourage the
Others written by investigative writer Martin J Walker. Salisbury
not only wants these evidence based factual documents removed from
the website, he also wants One Click to apologise to him for having
the temerity to publish them. Both these papers deal with vaccine
damage that has now reached epidemic proportions in Britain and
around the world today.
One Click Response A most appropriate response to Salisbury’s
litigation threat would be to take a leaf out of the long and honourable
tradition started by satirical magazine Private Eye. When confronted
with such legal threats, the then Private Eye Editor, Richard Ingrams,
apparently took up a chunky red felt tip pen, diagonally scrawled
the equivalent of ‘Go Forth And Multiply’ all over the
legal papers and sent them back to the solicitors in question by
return J. For our international readers unfamiliar with the short
form of the vernacular, the verbatim first word starts with F and
the second, with O. Since David Salisbury (forever henceforth to
be tagged as Outraged of Eastleigh by us due to his solicitor location)
has elected to deliver his litigious missive to One Click by email
alone rather than by post, this opportunity has been denied us and
so it is via the internet currency selected by Salisbury that One
Click will respond. According to his 26 February letter, Outraged
of Eastleigh seems particularly piqued that upon One Click’s
publication of Bill Welsh’s MMR Vaccine – GMC Formal
Complaint published on 9 January 2009 and Martin Walker’s
To Encourage the Others article on 12 January 2009, we did not give
him the Right of Reply. His Eastleigh based solicitors write on
Outraged’s behalf: “Your website did not ask for any
comment from our client before publishing the complaint. Therefore
our client was not given the opportunity to address his well founded
concern about the publication of the details of a complaint made
to the GMC [General Medical Council]. As a matter of good practice
this complaint should not have been published on the internet prior
to it being considered by the GMC.” We beg to differ. As a
matter of fact, the GMC had already formally responded to Mr. Welsh
and his GMC Complaint prior to One Click’s publication of
the contents. We know because Mr. Welsh advised us of this in writing
whilst requesting that we publish his offering. But one should never
let the facts get in the way of a good Outraged of Eastleigh solicitor’s
letter though, eh? As a matter of fact, One Click would have been
delighted to offer Salisbury a Right of Reply had he requested it
and indeed it is highly unusual for Salisbury to be shy of speaking
up at the back. You only had to ask, old boy. You most certainly
know where we are. Instead, Salisbury has elected to despatch a
solicitor’s letter threatening all sorts. Headed ‘Not
For Publication’, the letter states amongst its four page
offerings: “We reserve the right to show this letter to the
Court on the question of costs...” What is good enough to
be displayed in the public courts is certainly good enough for One
Click Readers and Contributors to see too. Furthermore, it seems
rather unfair for Salisbury to want to carry out his legal bullying
behind closed doors. One Clickers simply cannot believe that Salisbury
did not want us to publish his letter and therefore despite it being
headed ‘Not For Publication’ we are publishing Outraged
of Eastleigh’s Right of Reply for this is what it amounts
to. There is absolutely no legal impediment in so doing.
Next Steps What is Salisbury planning to do? Launch
suits against every portal in the world that has carried this material
that he so much detests or any reference or link to it? Have a go
at all the Blogs? Try to force that from Timbuktu to Alaska and
beyond, these documents and all references to them MUST BE TAKEN
DOWN from Blogs and websites around the world? Outraged of Eastleigh,
we wish you all the best with this. Of course you realise that by
adopting this approach, these documents could well become the cause
celebre of 2009? That around the world, people who’d never
really heard of these documents before would certainly hear about
this? Backed by court action this has the potential to go nuclear.
Fully in line with the principle of open dialogue and Right of Reply
perhaps in David Salisbury's next letter to us as Outraged of Eastleigh
despatched by his lawyers, he might care to make comment on the
following. It’s not just the MMR vaccine that he’s got
to worry about.
• “It has recently been announced
that the US vaccine court awarded damages to a ten year-old child,
Bailey Banks, who it said had developed acute brain damage involving
autistic spectrum disorder as a result of his MMR vaccination. The
ruling was unequivocal. It concluded from the evidence provided
by a full neurological examination of the child 16 days after his
MMR vaccination that the jab had caused Acute Disseminated Encephalomyelitis
(ADEM) which in turn had led to Pervasive Developmental Delay, a
disorder on the autistic spectrum. It also turns out from this ruling
that the vaccine court had heard two previous cases where the Special
Master had found that the MMR vaccine had caused Acute Disseminated
Encephalomyelitis.”

Another ruling in the
US vaccine court, Melanie Phillips, The Spectator
• Published in The Health Protection (Vaccination)
Regulations 2009 (No. 38) is the edict that in the future, as of
4 April start date, it will be the Obligation on the Secretary of
State to ensure implementation of Joint Committee on Vaccination
and Immunisation (JCVI) recommendations. This says: “The Secretary
of State must make arrangements to ensure, so far as is reasonably
practicable, that the recommendation of the JCVI is implemented.”
So the Secretary of State will have to take orders from an unelected
committee long recognised as dealing with commercial matters, and
well known for turning a blind eye to adverse reactions despite
having a sub committee with the sole purpose of discussing them.
None of this has been discussed openly through the proper parliamentary
channels. Could this deceptive move be paving the way for forced
vaccination UK, by stealth?
• A 2007 analysis of HPV vaccine Gardasil
adverse event reports revealed that there have been at least 3,461
complaints of adverse reactions and eight deaths. The ‘side
effects’ reports also included 28 women who miscarried. Other
side effects reported to the FDA included paralysis, Bells Palsy,
Guillain-Barre Syndrome, and seizures were also reported. Three
young women in the US died shortly after receiving Gardasil, while
two other women in Europe also died after the vaccine was administered.
• Cervarix, GSK's cervical cancer vaccine, is now being administered
in the UK to girls as young as 11 after the company won a lucrative
`£100m a year supply contract with the UK Department of Health'.
HPV vaccines are a cause for concern for many parents after the
number of deaths and adverse effects associated with administration
of the leading competitor, Gardasil. In addition, it is not comforting
that the clinical trial data for Cervarix has been compiled for
female adolescents and women significantly older (e.g. age 15-25)
than the target market (girls as young as 11). This Cervarix vaccine
contains a completely novel combination adjuvant system whose safety
and efficacy, prior to its introduction, was completely untested
on the girls destined to receive it. See Cervarix HPV Vaccine And
The ASO4 Novel Adjuvant System, 7 October 2008. How can it be that
the UK Department of Health is spending £100m of taxpayer’s
money on a vaccine that has not been tested properly and has the
developing evidence base of causing harm and death in ever-increasing
numbers? Why don’t you pump more money into the perfectly
good facilities already set up around Britain for smear tests and
general better sexual health? Why are you spending £100m of
our money on this damaging vaccine that does not fulfil the criteria
of ‘unmet need’?
• In view of the recent withdrawal of 76,000
doses of the Gardasil HPV vaccine by the Spanish Health Authorities,
is the Department of Health going to review the safety of its recent
programme of HPV immunisation in the UK? (See Reuters report). In
view of your Department's mass-HPV-vaccination policy, do you have
any plans to advise UK parents of the reports coming out about HPV
vaccines so that they are more able to reach a balanced conclusion
about the safety of this vaccination and whether they should, or
should not, vaccinate their children?
Let us also not forget about the 17,000 doses
of the toxic Meningitis C vaccine contaminated with a version of
MRSA despatched to GP surgeries across the land last week. Oh yes,
and the chicken pox vaccine that you are proposing to include with
the MMR jab that according to reports, is set to increase the incidence
of Shingles by 50%. Do you not think that you have enough problems
with the controversy and litigation swirling over the MMR vaccine
already? Chickenpox in children is generally very mild. Shingles
by contrast is at best absolutely awful to endure and at worst,
can lead to brain damage and death. Shingles is never mild. Questions
about vaccine safety are increasing every day. There are so many
issues that One Click will be more than happy to debate in public
with David Salisbury. The link between Sudden Infant Death Syndrome
(SIDS) and vaccines is definitely one of our top agenda items. Outraged
of Eastleigh, we look forward to receiving your Right of Reply on
all the above.
Conclusion
On One Click we defend the right of Free Speech.
We defend the right to publish formal complaints delivered to the
General Medical Council subsequent to their formal response and
we defend the right to publish evidence based articles and place
them in the public domain. We will not be removing the aforementioned
articles from the website and we will not be apologising for publishing
them. These items have been published, referred to and linked by
websites and blogs around the world and are common currency readily
available to all. One of the dangers for Professor David Salisbury,
as we are sure his solicitors will advise, is that if he is so foolish
as to want to take on a Mother and her sick child in litigation
for being named as owning a website that publishes evidence based
information over the vaccines controversy, amongst the many other
health advocacy issues covered by One Click, he will end up looking
like the defendant rather than the plaintiff. Commenting on vaccines,
Dr Peter Fletcher, former Chief Scientific Officer at the Department
of Health, said: "The refusal by governments to evaluate the
risks properly will make this one of the greatest scandals in medical
history. There are very powerful people in positions of great authority
who have staked their reputations on the safety of MMR and they
are willing to do almost anything to
Jane Bryant states: “I will not be bullied
by David Salisbury. One Click will not grovel to him under duress.
I predict that if this case comes to court, it will serve to lift
the lid on the UK vaccination policy with the attendant media coverage
such as nothing else could possibly do so effectively.” Salisbury’s
proposed legal action against One Click, as just one of the internet
publishers of these documents, will provide the greatest house cleaning
service of the activities of the vaccine industry ever. It is far
better than any other initiative that we could possibly have devised.
One Click to Outraged of Eastleigh: If you absolutely insist on
this course of legal action, Game On. We’ll die all over your
shoes and cost you millions. Alternatively, One Click is more than
happy to provide you with Right of Reply any time. In fact, I think
that it is safe to say that we all positively look forward to opening
a mutually beneficial dialogue at minimal cost on a range of vaccine
issues that concern people around the world today. Could we please
have your Right of Reply copy in by next week in regard to the aforementioned?
Cheers!

Vaccine Bullies And Fighting Back
UK Government Vaccines Director Dr David Salisbury has been
tagged the 'Basil Fawlty' of the vaccines industry by The Independent
newspaper
During the past decade, families in the United Kingdom, Canada and
America have witnessed the demonization of brave doctors and parents
of vaccine injured children. This rabid foaming at the mouth, which
is being exhibited by physicians and journalists promoting forced
vaccination, would be comical if it wasn't for the decidedly Stalinist
bent to their rants. Bully boys always choose to use fear and intimidation
to try to control the thoughts and actions of others and those calling
for censorship and punishment for exercising freedom of thought,
expression and informed consent to vaccination are no exception.
On February 26, 2009, bully boy Dr. David Salisbury, the Director
of Immunization at the UK Department of Health, threatened The One
Click Group, a UK internet based news service founded by Jane Bryant,
that he would sue them for publishing facts about MMR vaccine risks
unless One Click removes the information he wants censored and apologizes
for publishing it without his permission.

News from the Complementary
Medical Association
Arnica gets MHRA Licence Great news for homeopathy
in the UK - and worldwide. Under the new Homeopathic National Rules
Scheme a scheme developed in the UK to extend licences to complementary
therapies, the UK's Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency
(MHRA) has granted its first ever licence to a homeopathic remedy.
Nelson's Arnicare Arnica 30c pillules are the first to be given this
'therapeutic' licence since the scheme was introduced in September
2006.Arnicare Arnica 30c has received a licence "for the relief
of sprains or bruising" and its label has been redesigned to
read 'A homeopathic medicinal product used within the homeopathic
tradition for symptomatic relief of sprains, muscular aches and bruising
or swelling after contusions.'The chair of Nelsons, Robert Wilson,
said: 'The fact therapeutic indications may now be included on the
packaging of licensed homeopathic medicines not only opens the practice
of homeopathy up to new users but also gives it added credibility
as a safe and natural complement to conventional medicine.' This has
obviously upset traditional "mumbo - jumbo" critics like
Edzard Ernst who still believes that homeopathy has no plausible operative
mechanism. Read the full story in the doctor's magazine 'Pulse' here
This article refers to a trial that Ernst conducted way back in 2003
on post-operative use of Arnica in carpal tunnel procedures. At best
this trial was simply a preliminary study - and is not the definitive
evidence that homeopathy doesn't work, as some would have us believe.
Here is an an excellent rebuttal from Dr Peter Fisher and colleagues.
Dr Fisher is Clinical Director of the Royal London Homeopathic Hospital
and the Queen's physician. Interestingly, a later placebo controlled
trial - published in 2006 in The Archives of Facial Plastic Surgery,
found that the use of Arnica was in fact related to decreased bruising
after surgery.
Breaking News: study proves safety and effectiveness
of KavaBack in 2002 the herb Kava Kava (piper methysticum: traslates
as 'intoxicating pepper') was banned in the UK and Europe due to
fears of liver toxicity. Interestingly, it was never banned in the
more litigious US. We are delighted to report that a well conducted
study at the University of Queensland demonstrates that Kava is
safe and effective for the treatment of anxiety - which has long
been known. Interestingly, the study also shows that Kava also improves
mood. One possible explanation as to why this study is positive
is that the Kava was prepared in a water solution (as traditionally
prepared by indigenous peoples) - and not alcohol, as used in previous
studies. The article will be published this week in the journal
"Psychopharmacology" . Lead researcher Jerome Sarris,
from UQ's School of Medicine, said "We've been able to show
that Kava offers a natural alternative for the treatment of anxiety,
and unlike some pharmaceutical options, has less risk of dependency
and less potential of side effects," Read the full story Here

Now it is possible to detect Qi Vacuity Qi (pronounced
'chee')vacuity (QV) is defined by Traditional Chinese Medicine as
a loss of energy in the human body. There has been no way of measuring
Qi strength or weakness - until now! A fascinating study published
on the 8th May 2009 in the journal 'Complementary and Alternative
Medicine" used an automatic reflective diagnosis system (ARDK)
which is a device that detects human bioenergy through measuring
skin conductance at 24 special acupoints on the wrists and ankles.The
results of the study suggest that the bioenergy level of the human
body can be measured by skin conductance. The paper's authors conclude
that ARDK is a safe and effective complementary method for detecting
and diagnosing QV. Read the full paper here.
B12 vital during pregnancy to prevent spina bifida
in babiesIn a recently published article in the journal - Pediatrics
- researchers from the National Institutes of Health in Ireland,
Trinity College Dublin, and the Health Research Board of Ireland,
have found that pregnant women with a low level of vitamin B12 were
far more at risk of having a child with a neural tube defect like
spina bifida or anencephaly: When compared to women with the highest
levels of B12, the fisk was five times greater. That's a 500% increase
in risk!And crucially, levels of B12 needed to be at a high enough
level during the first 4 weeks of pregnancy as this is the critical
period for the formation of the child's brain and spinal column.

Most (flu vaccination) studies in prestigious
medical journals have conclusions that don't hold up (BMJ)Given
the crucial role that prestigious medical journals play in educating
doctors and scientists across the globe another research study -
published in the BMJ - looking at 274 comparative studies (on flu
vaccination) - has found that only 18% of the studies were deemed
to actually prove what the articles claimed to be their findings.
That means that over 80% of them were judged not to have "made
the case" outlined in their conclusions. "70% of the studies
reported conclusions favourable to the vaccines, but only 18% showed
complete concordance between data reported and study conclusions.
Over half (56%) of studies were at high risk of bias, with only
4% being at low risk".Click here to read the full text
Case Study: A Practitioner's Unexpected Success!Aloe
Vera for Asthma? CMA Member Han van de Braak Shares His Unexpected
Success: "We practitioners know that sometimes the unexpected
happens in clinic. I'd like to share this fascinating case with
you. A patient presented with Crohn's Disease for which I often
use an Aloe Vera of exceptional quality and this was predictably
effective for him. What I hadn't expected is that he would share
his prescription with his wife who suffered from bronchial asthma
all her life. She was dependent on bronchodilator inhalers, corticosteroids
inhalers and oral steroids by mouth for frequent exacerbations.
Her condition improved so much that she has not needed steroids
since. The action of Aloe Vera on digestive and skin complaints
is well known - however few therapists would straight off connect
asthma to Aloe Vera, for what would support such a choice of remedy?"

Small Amount of Wine Daily Boosts Life Expectancy
by 5 years Everybody knows that heavy alcohol consumption is bad
for your health. But did you know that light consumption of wine,
in men, can add five years to their life expectancy? This new study
from the Netherlands, published in the Journal of Epidemiology and
Community Health, looked at men (1,373) who were born between 1900
and 1920, and then looked at studies of their health taken from
1960 onwards until 2000. It suggests a positive health benefit for
light alcohol consumption - but especially for light wine consumption.

Is a 'Swine Flu Party' a good idea? It worked
for chicken pox when you were a kid, didn't it? So why not find
someone who has been infected with Swine Flu - and survived, and
invite them round, with all your friends for a 'Swine Flu Party'?
This is one of the ideas currently circulating in the US where thousands
of people have been confirmed as infected (and 3 deaths have occurred).
However flu experts say this is a bad idea as there is no way to
tell how bad a case of Swine Flu, or any flu, will be from one person
to the next. So even if you invite a 'survivor' they might spread
the flu to someone who reacts far more severely to the infection.
And they say, the evidence from the Spanish Flu outbreak of 1918
suggests that if a second, or third wave of Swine Flu spreads later
this year, that people who survived it the first time around will
not be any better protected against it as it 'mutates'. Read the

The World Health Organisation suggests that up
to 2 billion people could be infected with Swine Flu On Thursday
Keiji Fukuda, chief of the World Health Organization (WHO) stated
that, "If the situation continues to evolve and the virus does
become established in other countries, and we do move into a pandemic,
we would expect the virus to infect many people. Perhaps a third
of the world's population could be infected with this virus, based
on previous pandemics." Many observers commented that this
was an unusual statement to make at this time as it could cause
a panic. Fukuda did remind his audience that he was not predicting
what was going to happen, but merely considering what might happen,
based on previous pandemics.Others praised Fukuda as he was seen
to be preparing people, especially in the medical and scientific
community for a potentially more severe 'second wave' of Swine Flu
later in the year.Full Story here
SWINE FLU: LatestIn Mexico Swine Flu has now claimed
56 victims and there have now been 3 deaths in the US, one in Canada
and one in Costa Rica. (As at 13th May 2009). As was the case in
the Spanish Flu outbreak of 1918, most of the deaths have occurred
amongst adults aged between 20 and 55. Authorities in the US and
Canada are saying that the victims in their countries are thought
to have other health issues in the first place. The number of confirmed
cases in Mexico has risen to 2,059, which indicates that this particular
bout of Flu does not have a high death rate (in recent years the
mortality figures amongst those who caught Bird Flu (H5N1) were
over 50%) and the authorities in most of Mexico are starting to
allow schools, businesses, etc to reopen. There have been 68 confirmed
cases of Swine Flu in the UK and 5,728in total, in 33 countries
worldwide, with the number of confirmed cases in the US (3,009)
overtaking the numbers in Mexico. Read More here
