To review – we have the right not to be killed unless it is by a policeman or an aristrocrat

                                        ***Article title refers to the Clash song “Know Your Rights” and a previous blog, Murder is a crime except when done by a policeman.
 
Parents should not be forced into killing their child with chemotherapy and other “health” treatments that are simply experimental in nature. Chemotherapy has never been proven effective. Continuing education for physicians discusses which populations may be more or less likely to survive some of the drugs and guides the physicians to choose the more toxic drugs with a 10% survival rate for more stable younger “patients”.

Does anyone else see that “we don’t know what caused this or why you are sick but we think this poisonous “medicine” may help you survive a few more months” is not a health message at all but is instead a confused attempt to “try” anything billable. And of course the patient will throw up and develop food aversions to anything mistakenly eaten during the bad days. A dietitian tip for bad days is to continue trying to eat but save favorite foods for better days. The mind associates the upset stomach with the food being eaten rather than with the poison “therapy” dripping in the veins. Wig shopping will also need to be tacked on the to-do-list.

Parents who are turned into Child Protection Agencies for saying no to a sixth course of chemotherapy are heroes in my book. I hope Child Protective Services will agree but I am fearful.

As a WIC dietitian, a job that I took very seriously was writing neatly typed nutrition assessment letters to physicians regarding the occasional “small, non-growing” child. Several times parents were harassed with monthly weight checks and criticism of how they were feeding their petite child. I found that the dinky children were petite, proportional, and healthy. They had low grade congenital hypothyroidism stunting their growth, but I didn’t know quite as much about it then as I do now. I could clearly see a thriving, loved, well hydrated, non-depressed toddler who was simply very small.

When a two year old looks apathetic and burnt out you know that it isn’t a good home life but PS really does not take children away – unless “drugs” are involved. So again, I really hope that our Children’s Protective Service’s agents will use common sense and decide that it is a parent’s right to choose or not choose experimental drug “therapy”. Chemotherapy killed my oldest sister. She died at age thirteen of leukemia. I was only four at the time and have few memories of her. I was sad that her teddy bear was going in the ground with her – but maybe it is keeping her company.

  • Parental neglect trial set for Marquette” by John Pepin, The Mining Journal, 11-13-11 [link]

Excerpt:    /Ongoing story March 13, 2012/

Jacob Stieler, a fifth-grader at K.I. Sawyer Elementary School, was diagnosed with Ewing sarcoma in his thoracic spine in March. He was transferred to the Helen DeVos Children’s Hospital in downstate Grand Rapids for neurosurgery to remove the tumor.

Sarah Brown, a child abuse pediatrician with the Center for Child Protection at the DeVos hospital, said he then underwent rehabilitation at the Mary Free Bed Rehabilitation Hospital before receiving induction chemotherapy in Grand Rapids and Marquette.

“Jacob did well with each of these treatments,” Brown told investigators in a July 25 letter. “Specifically, he tolerated the chemotherapy well without unexpected side effects.”

The next phase of the treatment was to include several courses of chemotherapy and radiation administered at the same time. In July, Dr. Richard Axtell told caseworkers Jacob Stieler had begun treatments in April and had received five of the 18 recommended.

*** “Without unexpected side effects” says it all for me. They expected to torture the child and they succeeded at torturing the child and they wanted to continue torturing the child for another “13 treatments” and his parents made the choice to protect him from further experimental “therapy”. I applaud you Erin and Ken Stieler and I pray with all my heart that the Marquette court system will understand that parents are their children’s caregivers and medical “treatment” is supposed to be under the control of an individual caregiver’s informed consent.

I would like to see “informed consent” for all of those Senior Citizens who aren’t being told that this chemo”therapy” drug actually kills 90% of the other people that it is tried on but instead they are told that since you are slightly less fragile, we “your kindly, concerned doctor” think that you might be one of the 10% who survive it. How many medium aged Senior Citizens would sign that dotted line?

Don’t buy it is only a helpful solution if the controlling powers don’t force us to buy it with threat of jail, financial penalty, or by having your child removed from your care.. Buying bad insurance that makes us swallow poison “therapy” for our own good or worse for the “good” of our precious child, is a budget mistake that might have killed little Jacob eventually (at least that is where I would place my bet).

Shout out to Jacob – carrots – raw carrots – and lots of vitamin C, chicken drumsticks, buckwheat pancakes, and hug your parents before they are locked up for trying to protect you from  bad, bad medicine.

*** This is why I am so scared about the disturbing idea that chemotherapy drugs “might” help autistic children. No, it might kill them and we (autistic types) really aren’t bad people.

So police state decisions could head us towards nursing homes full of sick children that have been removed from their parent’s custody in order to be experimentally “treated” with poison in mass warehoused poisoning centers – and you know who would be paying for all of that “loving care” – taxpayers.

Guthrie heel prick test from a French medical training film (I think – not sure what the French comments say)

Hardening the hearts of medical professionals – an example of preventative health care – no we do not use all of that blood – only a dot or two is used if even all of one dot. The rest is stored and is probably at risk of molding due to budget cuts. every single baby practically has had this done to them. I hope and pray that most of them were done with a little more compassion. I wouldn’t treat a lab rat this way (and I did spend a year and a half caring for lab rats at U of M in a genetics lab that was working on Wilson’s disease and zinc therapy. Wilson’s disease is a genetic issue where copper accumulates.)

I had to poke children most days of my career as well as check height and weight. White coat syndrome – extreme terror – occasionally would start at the door from the lobby. It is hard to measure a terrified child whose legs are like limp spaghetti noodles. Preventative health care that sets up such extreme phobias at such as early age is another example of how to grow a bully – step one – bully a child.

Preventative Health Care – not at it’s finest – but valuable if the blood was used for more accurate tests – (they will not find hypothyroidism that is due to an excess of bromide, fluoride and perchlorates because they aren’t testing for that – only testing for Thyroid Stimulating Hormone or thyroid hormone. They aren’t testing for whether the thyroid hormone present contains iodine or bromide, fluoride, or chloride. Smart bodies have learned how to produce what the  body knows it needs – to bad the body got fooled with a shaped similar atom that is actually cancer promoting.

****Yes the screaming tortured cries of the baby would be horrendous and that is why kindly nurses and doctors become heartless abusers – how can they sleep at night unless they are sure that what they are doing is helping. How could anyone do that daily without becoming frozen inside – or worse enjoying the authoritarian position of power. Building oneself up by breaking down the little people is not a holier than thou attitude that I appreciate.

Murder is a crime except when done by a policeman

Remains of war dead dumped in landfill – The Washington Post

Respecting the dead one landfill at a time – just another working stiff following orders. Instead of a single burial ceremony for the mixture of cremated remains of unknown soldiers lost to the war in Iraq, our fallen veteran’s remains have been tossed in a landfill by the Dover Air Force Base mortuary. We can’t complain about a need for budget reform at least but maybe that Nascar advertising money could be redirected.

Gari-Lynn Smith, portions of whose husband’s remains were disposed of in the landfill after his 2006 death in Iraq, said she was “appalled and disgusted” by the way the Air Force had acted. She learned of the landfill disposal earlier this spring in a letter from a senior official at the Dover mortuary.

“My only peace of mind in losing my husband was that he was taken to Dover and that he was handled with dignity, love, respect and honor,” Smith said. “That was completely shattered for me when I was told that he was thrown in the trash.”

Tomb of the unknown soldiers – a little low key, don’t ya think?

  • Know Your Rights – A Public Service Announcement from the Clash (1982 – UK)

1. You have the right not to be killed. Murder is  a crime! Unless it was done by a policeman or aristocrat. . . Know your Rights.

2. You have the right to food money, Providing of course you don’t mind a little investigation, humiliation and if you cross your fingers, rehabilitation. . . Know your Rights.

3. You have the right to free speech as long as you’re not dumb enough to actually try it.. . Know your Rights.

*** The Clash shares three valuable rights and while number one and three are true, number two may be incorrect. We don’t actually have a “right” to food stamp money, or Meals on Wheels, or the School Lunch program, or the Head Start lunches, or the Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants and Chilrdren. Michele you are certainly correct, We should all have the right to work for our food money, however machines are combining the grain and soy and assembly lines or outsourced workers are building our products.

“Food money” or entitlement programs and nutrition based health programs are a gift from one generation to another. One generation that recognizes that the next generation will build roads and repair factories and harvest produce.

We have a right not to be killed and dumped in a landfill, and a right to free speech and a right to work for an honest day’s wage.

Who is Guy Fawkes and did he have a vendetta

Occupying a mirror on Halloween.

Guy Fawkes is a historical figure in England that has come to symbolize treason and rebellion against what some considered unfair government by King James I. A scarecrow painted with the familiar face is burnt on a bonfire on November fifth, the evening that the original Guy Fawkes was caught with barrels of gunpowder in the basement of England’s Parliament building.

V for Vendetta is a movie based on a graphic novel/comic book series about “V” a vigilante fighting an authoritarian regime. The setting is a fictional Britain with a militarized government. The hero is a caped crusader with a Guy Fawkes mask who tries to liberate his land from the fascist rule.
Guy Fawkes multiplied.

 

*** To have a vendetta is to have a really big gripe against something or someone – a reason for needing revenge or vengeance. Guy Fawkes may have had a personal vendetta or he may have been set up to take the blame for a larger group with a gripe against the policies of King James I.

Unity needn’t divide.

 “And the truth is, there is something terribly wrong with this country, isn’t there? Cruelty and injustice, intolerance and oppression. And where once you had the freedom to object, to think and speak as you saw fit, you now have censors and systems of surveillance coercing your conformity and soliciting your submission.”  – an Anonymous quote

After being captured with kegs of wet gun powder Guy Fawkes was tortured to reveal names of his conspirators. He eventually jumped to his death rather than be put to death by his captors. The November fifth bonfire tradition was started by King James I to celebrate the failure of the plan.
United we stand.
Divided we fall.   Blame is not a medicine that heals.

Ginger slows prostate cancer growth

In a study at Georgia State University whole ginger extract was found to slow growth rate and to cause the death of pancreas cancer cells (PC-3 line) in petri dish type studies and in live mice. [1]

Two grams of ginger per day for one month time periods was found successful at reducing inflammation of the intestinal lining in human studies. [5,6] Free arachidonic acid levels were reduced. Arachidonic acid levels are typically increased in inflammation and it has been found to be a precursor for 5-HETE, a main energy source for stimulating prostate cancer cell growth. [8-12] The prostate cancer cells seem to have the ability to increase production of  an enzyme that converts arachidonic acid (half of the endogenous cannabinoid, anandamide) into 5-HETE which is a form needed by the cancer cells.

Conjugated linolenic acid (CLA) was used successfully to reduce breast tumor growth in a study regarding the same enzyme from the prostate cancer cells, 5-lipoxygenase (5-LO). The CLA, an essential fatty acid, was not found to be inhibiting the 5-LO enzyme but instead it was reducing the enzyme’s activating protein and possibly competing with arachidonic acid (also an essential fatty acid). It might be able to stand in for the 5-LO enzyme but less 5-HETE was being produced and breast tumor cell growth was “attenuated” (sounds like a good thing).

Attenuation can be defined as the process by which a virus, bacterium, etc., changes under laboratory conditions to become harmless or less virulent.

So I think this research shows:

  1. Prostate and breast cancer cells have learned how to make the 5-LO enzyme or more likely how to make 5-LO’s activating protein
  2. In humans, mice, and in petri dish studies, ginger has been found to inhibit the action of 5-LO from converting as much arachidonic acid into 5-HETE and slowing prostate cancer cell growth.
  3. Conjugated linolenic acid may also help slow the conversion by taking the place of the arachidonic acid and/or by inhibiting the activating protein.
  4. If a patient has breast or prostate cancer currently then do eat at least two grams of ginger extract per day. I aim for a 5 gram per day arthritis research-pain killing intake – which is about a teaspoon of the powder. I sprinkle on a variety of foods or beverages throughout the day or I eat the crystallized ginger or cook with the raw root as well. Easy bruising, blood thinning properties, are the only side effect that I’ve noticed and only when I’m eating the candied ginger as well as the powder.
  5. Avoiding excess amounts of foods rich in arachidonic acid [livestrong.com AA food sources], while fighting prostate or breast cancer and increasing CLA and omega 3 fatty acids might help reduce the 5-HETE availability to cancer cells.
  6. Increasing intake of the other endogenous cannabinoid building blocks, the essential phospholipids could help rebuild stronger membranes. Loss of the arachidonic acid as a membrane building block leaves weakened defenses against other infections. Anandamide, the endogenous cannabinoid that contains arachidonic acid, isn’t the only one, so medical marijuana – an external source of cannabinoids,  might not be the only solution to rebuilding strong membranes without also feeding the cancer cells. – Flaw in that plan is that the foods high in arachidonic acid also tend to be good sources of phospholipids – not really a surprise –  half the brain weight is made up of phospholipids.

Colon Inflammation Markers Lower With Ginger Extract

*** Two grams of ginger was given daily for 30 days and intestinal lining inflammation seemed improved based on reduced free arachidonic acid (which is released from breakdown of the endogenous cannabinoids after they are released from their membrane storage in response to elevated intracellular calcium or glutamate levels – just to review from a few blogs ago).

“Interestingly the incorporation of AA into platelet phospholipids increased in platelets treated with aqueous ginger extract.”

***** Swish and score – ginger helped the body to rebuild endogenous cannabinoids – AA plus phospholipid = healthy rebuilt membranes and endogenous cannabinoids reloaded ready for the next stress signal to fire them off where they can be messengers or be transformed into eicosanoids or other metabolites.

8.  [/i4cmwo.com.au/ginger.html]

** I should have just read this one first. It seems that prostate cancer eats only a metabolite of arachidonic acid – which itself is a building block of endogenous cannabinoids and strong membranes. It would be to the cancer cell’s advantage to have learned how to use the body’s own system to mobilize resources as a way to get nutrients for themselves. The cancer cell can make the enzyme that activates vitamin 25-D to hormone 1,25-D; hormone 1,25-D signals the bones to release calcium; increased intracellular levels of calcium signal the release of endogenous cannabinoids from membrane storage – arachidonic acid and free phospholipids – cancer food. In the placenta they would have become nutrients for the fetus.
