Natural Family BLOG, an online journal written by Jenny Hatch
Lots of interesting stuff going on.
3rd UPDATE:
Dana Ullman has posted the second follow up article at Huffington Post titled
Lies, Damn Lies, and Medical Research
Quote:
“Modern medicine uses the double-blind and placebo-controlled trial as the gold standard by which the effectiveness of a treatment is determined. On the surface, this scientific method is very reasonable. However, serious problems in these studies are widely acknowledged by academics but remain unknown to the general public. Fundamental questions about the meaning of the word “efficacy” are rarely raised.
For instance, just because a drug treatment seems to eliminate a specific symptom does not necessarily mean that it is “effective.” In fact, getting rid of a specific symptom can be the bad news. Aspirin may lower your fever, but physiologists recognize that fever is an important defense of the body in its efforts to fight infection. Sleep-inducing drugs may lead you to fall asleep, but they do not lead to refreshed sleep, and these drugs ultimately tend to aggravate the cycle of insomnia and fatigue, while conveniently (for the drug companies) tend to create addiction. Long-term safety and efficacy of many modern drugs for common ailments remains unknown, despite the high hopes and sincere expectations from the medical community and the rest of us for greater certainty.”
2nd Update:
Lawsuit is coming, and the Hide the Decline guys say BRING IT ON~!
UPDATE: Next Day
You Tube has pulled all of the Hide the Decline Vids from the site.
But Andrew Bribart has stepped up and posted the vid on his site.
*The Global Elites are shaking in their boots…ha ha ha
Original Post
Was thrilled that the Hide the Decline guys remade their video after being threatened with a lawsuit by Climate Gates Michael Mann and forced to pull the old video off you Tube. Here is the remake, they are hoping to inspire a law suit with it by using Manns image.
One of the things that conservatives especially need to understand is that the same “scientists” who gave us bogus climate data are the same global elites tied to Big Pharma. They have wrapped the “irrefutable scientific peer reviewed evidence” around all of their research in an attempt to spew their chemicals all over the minds and bodies of the families of the world and it is the worst peer reviewed junk science that has ever been produced.
This recent article by Dana Ullman at Huff Po questions the science behind most of modern medicine.
“Doctors today commonly assert that they practice “scientific medicine,” and patients think that the medical treatments they receive are “scientifically proven.” However, this ideal is a dream, not reality, and a clever and profitable marketing ruse, not fact…”
…”Quackery” is commonly defined as the use of unproven treatments by individuals or companies who claim fantastic results and who charge large sums of money. Although modern physicians may point their collective finger at various “alternative” or “natural” treatment modalities as examples of quackery, it is conventional medical treatments today that are out-of-this-world expensive, and despite real questionable efficacy of their treatments, doctors give patients the guise of “science….”
…Big Pharma, Big Bucks, and the Guise of Science
Adherents of conventional medicine have consistently asserted that its methods are scientifically verified, and they have ridiculed other methods that are suggested to have therapeutic or curative effects. In fact, conventional physicians have consistently worked to disallow competitors, even viciously attacking those in their own profession who have questioned conventional treatments or provided alternative modalities. More recently, medical organizations simply work with insurance companies to help them determine what should and shouldn’t get reimbursed, a clever way to kill competition bloodlessly.And yet, strangely enough, whatever has been in vogue in conventional medicine in one decade has been declared ineffective, dangerous and sometimes barbaric in the ensuing decades. Surprisingly, despite this pattern in history, proponents and defenders of “scientific medicine” tend to have little or no humility, continually asserting that today’s cure is truly effective … and in any case, strongly asserting that any “alternatives” to this ever-changing treatment are quackery, sheer quackery, whether they know anything about these alternative treatment modalities or not….”
Read the whole piece it is extremely enlightening.
Three areas of Modern Medicine are the most problematic for parents and children. They are Birth, Psychiatry, and Vaccines. These three modalities of healing contain some of the worst junk science in all of medicine. And ironically, they are the three main forms of Allopathy that are most revered and used by Families around the world.
The number one thing that hospitals do in this country is deliver babies. And with the statistics for surgical birth looking extremely grim, I believe we are on a trajectory with Birth where we could easily lose natural and normal birth in another generation or two.
The New York Times ran an article yesterday extolling the efforts of one New York hospital to implement policies that have lowered the C-section rate. (I often believe these types of articles are the elites tossing a bone to the activists working to normalize birth – they know how horrifying their statistics are and if they can claim a 23% c-section rate is a “good thing” it provides perfect cover, what some of us call, “Controlled opposition” to the status quo. It also manipulates the readers into thinking that something positive is going on when we have a C-section rate of 23%)
Staten Island University Hospital has kept its rate down to a 23% level and while I applaud the efforts of a pioneer like Mitchell A Maiman, as A birth activist I am appalled at any C-section rate over five percent.
Ideally the rate should be 3% and our society should be actively educating mothers on proper nutrition, natural birth, and how to nourish/birth a healthy baby without drugs, to reduce it even more. (Please note, with the current level of ignorance on the part of Young Mothers and the absolute addiction of our people to drugs, junk food, and mothers overextending themselves with excessive exercise and working/volunteering outside the home, I believe this will take several generations to accomplish.)
To my way of thinking the only rational reason for a woman to have a surgery to give birth would be if she was in an accident and the surgery would save her and the babe. Lifestyle choice on the part of the doctor or the mother would have NOTHING to do with it.
(*Please note the statistics used in this video are from 2007, the 2008 C-Section rates are even worse…)
“Mother-demanded C-sections are unusual enough that the policy is probably more useful to Dr. Maiman for the message it sends to doctors and patients, a clear sign that he values a noninterventionist policy as long as it is safe. It has become common for hospitals to prohibit what are known as VBACs (for Vaginal Birth After Caesarean, pronounced VEE-back) for reasons having to do with anesthesia availability and, more tacitly, a fear of lawsuits. Dr. Maiman actively encourages VBACs. Residents are trained not only to avoid unnecessary C-sections, but to let higher-ups know if they witness another doctor about to perform one.
Obstetricians with high Caesarean rates, Dr. Maiman said, invite scrutiny; doctors either come to see things his way or end up leaving the hospital.
“If a woman has a third or a fourth Caesarean, the maternal morbidity and mortality is astronomically higher,” Dr. Maiman said. “That’s when you see women dying in childbirth from obstetrical hemorrhage.”
Whether or not you like his policy — maybe you believe a mother’s choice should extend to controlling the hour of her delivery and how much it will hurt — you have to give Dr. Maiman credit for not just creating protocols to protect women’s health, but enforcing them. There is not a lot of incentive for hospitals to let conviction trump convenience, especially when convenience comes with the added bonus of lower legal risk.”
The Medical Profession has a long history of controlling its own opposition, especially when it comes to Psychiatry and Vaccinations.
Leonard Horowitz has provided some of the best exposure on how the profession manipulates activists and controls the message they share. His article on the National Vaccine Information Centers ties to the industry is one of the best on the web.
QUOTE:
“By 1982, following 60-Minutes’s coverage of the deadly Swine Flu vaccine fiasco, and Marge Grant’s DPT appearance on national television, the “war” was turning against the drug industry. So Fisher and Schwartz were called upon to lobby with other pro-vaccinationists co-constructing the National Childhood Vaccine Injury Act of 1986. Schwartz, the NVIC’s first President, had worked for “Mr. Health”—Florida Rep. Paul Rogers who led congress to advance the 1976 swine flu vaccination program. Rogers then crafted the legislation eliminating vaccine victim compensation. He was subsequently rewarded by the industry with a position on the board of directors of Merck, Sharp & Dohme, the world’s leading vaccine maker.”
Psychiatry presents the biggest boondoggle of them all – with record profits being noted all over the world. With the passage of The Mothers Act, which was embedded in the Obamacare Bill, it is now officially open season on the Mothers of America. The overwhelming junk science tied to the psychiatric drugging of our children and the mothers who care for them is so over the top fraudulent it is amazing that it just keeps chugging along…
As Amy Philo wrote in her article just after the bill was passed:
“What I soon found out is that Goliath was very frightened of our coalition. So they sent in their own wolf pack in the form of a few disgruntled mothers who presumed that they would successfully intimidate us into giving up. But we never did. Despite hurtful and hateful comments, personal attacks and lies, we continued on, growing our coalition to 54 national groups, over 13,250 public signatures and over 3,000 Facebook members. It’s difficult to count all of our supporters since word spreads fast online and people sometimes don’t even know where to find links to sign the petition even though they have written or called Congress.
I can’t even calculate the amount of money my husband spent on press releases, flights to DC, or the amount I have spent on incidentals just working to stop The MOTHERS Act. Countless radio shows and magazine, newspaper and TV interviews later, here we are in 2010 with The MOTHERS Act slipped into the Health Care Bill and passed with carte blanche approval from Democrats in the House after a tough fight in the Senate.
I find it ironic and funny to read on Katherine Stone’s and Susan Stone’s blogs a few posts congratulating each other for a job well done. All told several people are listed as getting all the credit for passing a bill that died every year in Congress for six years before passing the house in 2007 and being killed by our coalition in 2008. As you know, when the House of Reps passes something, sometimes all that they do is announce the name of the bill and its stated purpose and vote. Nobody wants to vote against something titled “The MOTHERS Act” though in reality it should be called “The Pharmaceutical Companies’ Dream For America Act” or maybe “The Axe The Mothers and Babies Act.”
I would like to use this blog post to challenge anyone reading it to learn the facts about the drug companies. Learn the facts about birth, vaccines, and psychiatry. And then make those choices that will give ultimate health and wellness to your family.
