The modern medical society has gotten into the nasty habit of disparaging nutriceuticals. Nutriceuticals are “nutritional supplements” that actually have therapeutic value (like pharmaceuticals). They comprise many vitamins when taken in large doses, and many herbs (only the nutritional ones though). Many herbs are not nutriceuticals because they have no nutritional value are used like drugs, and are really no different than pharmaceutical drugs - and in most cases they are worse (imho). I don’t know why the concerted effort by medical societies to disparage nutriceuticals (for example: megadoses of vitamin C) but an in-depth analysis is enough to make a conspiracy theorist rabid. Indeed it seems many doctors have adopted a Hippocrates-be-damned philosophy when it comes to certain therapies. If it isn’t considered mainstream by their medical societies they’ll do their best to disparage it.

Fortunately for the rest of the world there are non-medical practitioners making unbelievable breakthroughs in the field of nutriceuticals. They’re chemists, biologists, nutritionalists, even double-laureate physicists. There is also a growing number of physicians who’ve decided patient health is more important than professional respect, and are starting to embrace nutriceutical research and treatments. One such person is Dr. Mark Miller of Albany Medical College.

Just today Dr. Tariq Haqqi confirmed that Dr. Miller’s Progrado is the first substance known to block the molecules responsible for cartilage damage in joints. Progrado is one of two substance Dr. Miller has extracted from a Brazilian rain forest tree that grows 30ft/year that has amazing antioxidant properties. In addition to treating the causes of arthritis and joint problems (instead of treating the symptoms) Progrado is also an antioxidant that is 6 times stronger than Vitamin C. Glucosamine, a $1 billion/year industry, comes closest to repairing cartilage and yet even it doesn’t even really compare. And, like Vitamin C, Dr. Miller’s treatment (called Reparagen ) is remarkably safe - you have to exceed 700 times the prescribed amount to reach toxic levels. There are so many benefits to these two substances from anti-aging to ulcer remediation that it’s approaching miracle-cure status among it’s users. Unfortunately you can’t use the word “cure” in an official setting because then the FDA considers it a “drug”, will regulate it, and the price will then go through the roof.

Dr. Miller has done tremendous research with regard to many other South American nutriceutical remedies that have also had astounding results. Take the Peruvian maca, a radish-like tuber that comprises a major part of the Peruvian diet, also called “Inca Gold”. Medicinal qualities were reported before Dr. Miller came along, but Dr. Miller through a leap of logic decided to feed them to fish (6% of the diet) to see how it dealt with hypoxia (a common prenatal problem), and after 100 days the biomass of the fish increased 800% compared to standard, through improved reproduction and better health. This has lead to human trials to observe similar phenomena with amazing results.

What makes these advances so remarkable? They are nutriceuticals. That means that by being nutritional supplements with the oldest track records in the world, products can be brought to market quickly. Dr. Miller has combined efforts with Paul Bobrowski of Rainforest Nutritionals to offer these supplements directly to the public so they can be obtained with as few middlemen as possible. He sells his Reparagen at a reasonable price at www.reparagen.com and Nutrazon at a reasonable price at www.nutrazon.com. As far as I can tell the nutrazon product is a better value. His plan, it seems is to use viral marketing techniques instead of big-buck pharmaceuticals to get the word out.

This is yet another example of a Hippocratic patient-oriented approach. Dr. Miller has patented the manufacturing process for extraction of these nutriceuticals as well as formulas designed for specific uses, however has not chosen to sell them to pharmaceutical companies who’d then pump the prices way up.

I’m convinced that we’ve just scratched the surface with all the benefits that nutriceuticals (and especially those in bio-diverse regions like south america) can bring us. If we can just get the information out to the consumer, and convince enough doctors to break away from their pharmaceutical kick then we’ll see a massive revolution in health that will result in a much healthier, happier, prosperous and productive world.

ps - if you want to enjoy the benefits of Dr. Miller’s work, you’ll get it best with his nutrazon fluid supplement, found at www.nutrazon.com . You can buy wholesale if you join, so I’d suggest you click “join” and in the application process (very simple) you’ll get an opportunity right then to buy the product. Note that joining costs $35, but if you buy a case (4 bottles) it pays for itself. All future orders will then be at wholesale. If you need a sponsor id use 100377.

The war on Terror costs money. Lots of it. It seems then that the best way to win the war on terror is to free up tons of money, making it available to the economy so the war on terror can be funded.

Where to get such money? Well, according to the results of a British researcher: http://torontosun.com/Lifestyle/2007/10/20/4590932-sun.html we could very likely solve heart disease problem cheaply and efficiently. Heart disease is the #1 killer in the United States. It costs Americans more money every year by far than does the Iraqi conflict. The wild thing is that tons of research backs up this claim the cheap doses of Vitamin E (an antioxidant), cheap resveratrol (another antioxidant), and cheap megadoses of Vitamin C can prevent, and even reverse the conditions that lead to heart attacks, and yet our “noble” allopathic tradition discourages it, claiming that it’s dangerous because it can give you diarrhea … or even worse: it might make you fart!

Oh! The horrors!

Meanwhile the war on terror is bankrupting the world, yet heart disease costs even more. Same thing with Cancer (costs more than the war on terror), which disease is also very treatable, very effectively by extremely cheap IV based ascorbate treatments (as high as 200 mg/day, but usually 70 mg twice/week is adequate). So if we started using these cheap treatments and reinvesting that money usually spent on Cancer and Heart Disease into the economy then we would have more than enough to pay for the War on Terror. Not to mention it would save 100,000,000’s lives every year worldwide - allowing the patients to live full and productive lives.

But then who’s going to pay for all the yachts? No wonder the AMA and your very own doctor frowns upon anything that has anything to do with Vitamin C. And so we’ll bankrupt the economy of the world. Just remember - it wasn’t the war that did it. It was the refusal to save money where money could have been saved.

Today is “Al-Quds (Jerusalem) Day” (not to be confused with the Israeli “Jerusalem Day” held in May) an Iranian-invented occasion to call for the wiping off of Israel from the Middle East map. In celebration of the day Mahmoud Ahbmadinejad, of course, has already spewed his nonsense that Israel’s existence is illegal (http://www.haaretz.com/hasen/spages/909545.html). So I think Israel supporters should also have Jerusalem day to show our support for Israel. In particular I think it’s important for all Americans to finally accept why we owe such support to the Jews.

What if you were given irrefutable evidence that top American and British leaders knew that Jews were ignominiously being slaughtered by the millions in 1942, but kept it hush-hush until late 1945, after which time most of the 9 million European Jews were quietly being executed in concentration camps ? The “final solution” didn’t really happen until 1942, so that would cover by far most of the concentration camp deaths. What if those deaths all occurred because most Jews thought they were just being “relocated” so they didn’t put up much of a fight? What if it could have been significantly avoided if of the US and the UK made the most meager efforts to notify the Jewish people (air-dropping leaflets was a daily occurrence), but instead they covered it up?

Well … that’s exactly what happened. Yes, our leaders were quietly complicit in the murder of millions of Jews over the space of a few years. This has been publicly known for over 30 years now, but I never heard about it throughout my public school education. I’m sure it still isn’t taught, although I don’t know why it isn’t. The point is that Roosevelt and his whole cabinet knew it was happening and suppressed the distribution of that information.

You don’t believe me? As I said, it’s thoroughly well documented. Read these excerpts from a speech (http://www.theopavlidis.com/reprints/matsas/part1.htm) given a few years ago to the Jewish Community Center in DC by Dr. Michael Matsas, an expert on the subject (Read his book if you want the documented references):

American diplomats stationed in Istanbul and Cairo sent advice to Washington, as to how the Greek Jews could be saved. The documents with such advice were ignored and were filed in the National Archives, where I was the first one to discover them in 1975. I found over 500 pages of such documents, thanks to the “Freedom of Information Act.” The Allies with their silence helped the Germans in the slaughter of the Jews. The Allies with their silence eliminated even our instinct of survival, which in case of danger, orders you to hide, flee, or fight. They preferred to damage even their own military interests The Germans needed few soldiers to capture Jews who did not offer any resistance.Thanks to the abandonment of the Jews by our British and American allies, thousands of able Jewish men and women were led like lambs to the slaughter houses of the death camps. It is abundantly clear now that the United States knew about the mass killing of the Jews as early as July 1941. In October 1941 the American Military Attache in Berlin reported, “The normal procedure for the Nazis upon taking over a city in the East, was to establish local commandos, to separate the Jews, and to shoot them.” A logical conclusion, writes Richard Breitman, was that the deportees would also be killed if sent to the East.On August 1, 1942, a German businessman transmitted to the World Jewish Congress in Switzerland the information that Hitler had ordered the liquidation of all Jews throughout the territories occupied by Germany. The information was transmitted to England and the United States. John Pehle, the Executive Director of the War Refugee Board, made the following comments in a recent TV documentary: “The State Department was actively suppressing information about the Holocaust, while Undersecretary of State Breckinridge Long tried to cover it up. By suppressing information, the Government becomes an accomplice in what the Germans were doing, by hiding information from the American public. Officials of the Treasury Department who discovered the State Department’s deliberate obstruction of rescue efforts, revealed the “nasty scandal” in a report entitled, “Acquiescence of this Government in the Murder of the Jews of Europe.”A rabbi from Baltimore, Maryland, in a bitter sermon, suggested that, “If we had any Jewish dignity, we would picket the White House and demand that the President use his influence to stop the killing of the Jews.” Within an hour, the Board of his Congregation fired him, for his disrespect of President Roosevelt, who was beloved by the American Jews and who received 90% of their votes. In November 1942 Rabbi Stephen Wise publicly announced the murder of over two million Jews. In a meeting with the President, Roosevelt declared, “The Government of the United States is very well acquainted with most of the facts that you are now bringing to our attention.” Professor David Wyman said in his book, “The Abandonment of the Jews,” that “anti-Semitism was widespread and the State Department was actively blocking information about the genocide and deliberately obstructed rescue efforts. The press had little to say and this was in the inner pages. The President refused to focus on the issue. The United States and Great Britain were deeply committed to a policy of not rescuing the Jews, while, if the US accepted a policy of rescue, hundreds of thousands would have been saved and in the process it would have rescued the conscience of the nation.” Secretary of the Treasury Henry Morgenthau wrote, “We knew in Washington from August 1942 on that the Nazis were planning the extermination of all the Jews of Europe. Yet for nearly 18 months, the State Department did practically nothing. Officials procrastinated or suppressed information about atrocities.” Why did the Government of the United States demonstrate such hostility toward the European Jews? In the TV documentary “America and the Holocaust – Deceit and Indifference,” I believe there is the answer to this question. “Pervasive anti-Semitism dominated the US in 1940. Jews were unacceptable to many employers and they were unwelcome in resorts and country clubs.” Saving the Jews of Europe should have been a moral obligation for the US and not simply a humanitarian act. Five hundred fifty thousand American Jews served with distinction in the Armed Forces of the United States. Eleven thousand were killed, 40,000 were wounded, and almost all of them had relatives in Europe who were abandoned to the hands of the Germans. Those in power in the American government rejected thousands of applications for immigration to this enormous country. Among these applications was that of Anne Frank’s family in Amsterdam. While 6 million Jews were dying in Europe, the United States was becoming a nuclear superpower, thanks to Jewish scientists like Albert Einstein, Oppenheimer, Zillard, Teller, Rabbi, and Admiral Hyman Rickover (inventor of the nuclear submarine), while the relatives of these Jews were left to die in the gas chambers of Auschwitz and Treblinka. The abandonment of the European Jews by President Franklin D. Roosevelt became obvious when he refused entry to this immense country to the 900 German Jews of the “St. Louis.” Six hundred of them eventually were killed by the Germans. Why is there so much Christian hate toward the Jews? I discussed this subject with a professor of theology at Cornell University who did not know that I am a Jew. He concluded, “Killing the Jews is not enough.” “What can be worse than killing them?” I asked with obvious surprise and shock. “Eternal damnation,” was his reply. I wonder what Jesus would say, if he knew in what kind of degradation fell his noble teachings like “Love your neighbor as you would yourself’ or “Don’t do to others what you don’t want them to do to you.” I conclude with a poem by Yitzhak Katznelson, which was written a few days before the Germans killed him, and it seems to be appropriate even today. Sure enough, the nations did not interfere, nor did they protest, Nor shake their heads, nor did they warn the murderers. Never a murmur. It was as if the leaders of the nations Were afraid that the killings might stop.

It stinks when history thumps you on the head. In the defense of those who heard second-hand (like most Church leaders) I’m sure that for most the stories and numbers were just to horrific to be believed as people learned about it through the American rumor mill, but that’s no excuse for the grievous level of apathy - though I think we see the same thing today with regard to the genocide in Darfur, Sierra Leone, and Tibet. Admittedly when this information first came my way my initial gut reaction was that this insidious covertness was never practiced by our leaders, followed by an assumption that there must have been a good reason that they kept quiet, but of course the very idea is ludicrous. Six million European Jews, that’s 2 out of every 3, were murdered and our elected leaders were silent partners for much of the slaughter.

So says Benjamin Netanyahu, former Prime Minister from Israel. This clip is about a week old, but it is incredibly good. It’s one of those little blurbs that gets lost in the shuffle that speaks loads of wisdom that is lost on even the most respected thinkers of our time.



PM Netanyahu makes some extremely good points - the first being the fragility of democracy.Then there’s the insidious attitude of apathy so prevalent among the left side with regard to the danger jihadists like Mahmoud present. They see him as a harmless funny little man, just as Hitler was perceived, and not so long ago. Mahmoud and Hitler share far too much in common. I shudder to consider what liberally bent teachers are telling our kids - that all leaders of all foreign nations are respectable diplomats with sovereign authority which should be appreciated and respected. Not where I come from. Respect is earned, no matter who you are, and Mahmoud is the least deserving of all.

Our nation’s forefathers would never have given a platform of legitimacy to a terrorist bent on world domination the the genocide of any people. The thought is ludicrous. There are public spaces for that, including the internet and news networks like Al Jazeera. A state sponsored university however is a platform of legitimacy - by the mere invitation the University legitimized Ahmadinejad’s genocidal and holocaust denying views. It matters little how degrading was the introduction that the leader of that forum gave to Mr. Mahmoud “I want a jihad”. Would such an audience be given to a known pedophile as if he was a respectable diplomat? There is no doubt that he is developing a nuclear weapons program. Even after it’s built, a nuclear energy plant would cost him far more than Oil-based energy. If he want to save his economy the economical thing to do is build refineries.

But Mahmoud wants fissionable material - easily garnered from nuclear waste. He has also made it clear that the bomb will drop will drop on Israel as soon as it’s developed. What I find amazing is the apathy among the liberal left - almost as if they’re saying “not my problem”, but Netanyahu is probably closer to understanding their apathy as being a lack of understanding or belief.

There’s been so much of this crossing of the protective line of democracy that we’re playing a veritable game of hopscotch with the devil, and it’s only a matter of time until we loose the game.
