"Do you trust your life and safety in the hands of your health authorities?" Most people will not hesitate to answer YES. I recall, as a child, a small voice inside me has always asked,"How do we know what goes into our medicine?" 20 years later, I decide to attempt answering this question! (Disclaimer: All facts provided in this blog entry are easily available on the internet. As such I am not liable for any thing you decide out of reading this article.

Here are 3 of the world's Greatest Health Myths busted:
1. Artificial sugars like Nutrasweet/Splendor are good for diabetics.
MYTH!! There is nothing natural in Nutrasweet! It is indeed artificial sugar. Splendor (aka Splenda) a variation of Nutrasweet is actually chemical chlorine. Clinical trials show that Aspartame is able to neutralise all nutrients of the last meal you ate. And more!
Perhaps Mrs. Victoria Innes-Brown, a private citizen of the USA, gave one of the most compelling evidence of Aspartame when she did an experiment feeding 2 groups of rats - one with Aspartame and the other without.
Senator Gerald Ortiz y Pino (New Mexico State Senator) once wrote to the ex-Acting Commissioner of FDA, a Dr. Frank Torti, to pull all artificial aspartame from supermarket shelves.
The Sugar Association (in America) is still in a long drawn-out legal tussle with the makers of Splendor and while waiting for its results, Diet Coke and other gassy soda have been manufactured and distributed. Today some sweet candies and menthols have warning labels of consequences for consuming "excessive" sweets because they contain aspartame or similar. As it is not mandatory to list Aspartame in food and drinks (the FDA made it so), many went without listing aspartame in their products. Perhaps the best way is to avoid any suspicious processed foods and drinks as much as possible. And why not juice your own drinks! Choose organic fruits!
2. Flouride in water strengthens your teeth!
MYTH!! What the hell is FLUORIDE? It is a waste compound of the aluminium industry, more poisonous than lead. (Flouride is also known as fluorine or Prozac.)
Although it's true that was what most in the world including I have been conditioned to believe in, the World Health Organisation does not see any differences in people's dental health when comparing countries with and without flouridated water.
Mike Adams (health advocate and customer evangelist), NaturalNews.com,said,
"Think about it: now instead of dumping toxic waste (rocket fuel, flouride,etc) products into landfills where the chemicals leach into the groundwater supplies and get consumed by people, these toxic chemicals get consumed by people first, then they get flushed into the rivers and streams. It reminds me of the beef industry, where one of the USDA-approved feed ingredients for cows is, believe it or not, "chicken litter." (I'm not making this up.) Apparently, there's no good way to get rid of all that chicken excrement unless you feed it to cows."
Dr. Joseph Mercola (respected doctor and physician, health educator), Mercola.com , said,
"A leading Harvard toxicologist who found that fluoride in water produced nervous system changes in rats that resemble attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) was fired just days before her research was accepted for publication. Meanwhile, you'll find out the shocking connection between the U.S. Army Manhattan Project, where patients were injected--unknowingly--with plutonium and uranium to determine the toxic effects, and fluoride."
More bad news: Bottled mineral water may not be all that safe either!
It is interesting to note that in the past people have died of ingesting flouride supplements. Kids under aged 6 are also advised to stay away from fluoridated toothpaste because just a pea-size can kill a child.
Unlike chlorine, fluoride cannot be rid of through boiling of water. And most current water treatments are not fully effective in getting rid of chemicals in water supply, so it makes sense NOT to use chemical soap/detergents, fertiliser, etc. Replace chemical detergents with organic soap nuts (real nuts from trees).
Many people also either turn to using an organic Neem toothpaste (an aryuvedic product from India; Neem is a bark of a kind of tree) or they get a reverse-Osmosis water-filter to filter flouridated water.
And if you have tested your country's water supply for a non-biased chemical and bacteria analysis, I'd be most willing to know your findings! (Just leave a comment!)
3. Vaccinations are very necessary and 100% safe!
MYTH! Unfortunately, vaccinations are becoming less and less effective. Since humans started eating steroid-injected meat, bacteria have found ways to be more resistant to Penincillin.
Added to the fact that vaccines nowadays contain mercury and God-knows-what-else in order to 'preserve' them for as long as possible. There's no denying that it is indeed more profitable if people kept being sick - more drugs and more vaccinations translate to more money!
The most recent vaccine horror affected teenaged girls who were given "anti cervical cancer shots". The vaccine is known as Gardasil.
Barbara Loe of http://vaccineawakening.blogspot.com gve this link if you wish to read what Gardasil does: http://www.nvic.org/nvic-archives/pressrelease/gardasilgirls.aspx
In a Cochrane Collaboration review and analysis of published influenza vaccine studies conducted by Tom Jefferson, M.D., Ph.D. and his colleagues, they found that influenza vaccine studies sponsored by industry are treated more favorably by medical journals even when the studies are of poor quality.
There were also previously suppressed studies that find vaccinations coincide with the sharp and sudden rise in autism in children.
There was an offer by a gentleman named Jock Doubleday for a $110,000 reward to any health official who publicly drinks a mixture of standard vaccine additives ingredients in the same amount as a six-year-old child is recommended to receive under the year-2005 guidelines of the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. And another US$10,000 will be given by a gentleman who's lost his 7-year-old son who died of a seizure after vaccination.
I don't believe the offer is taken by anyone yet by the way!
Is it any wonder more and more parents in the USA and Canada now prefer to home-school their kids knowing that they won't be allowed into schools if they refused the mandatory vaccinations?
