February 2009 Dear Members: The following article was submitted to us by Dr. med. Juliane Sacher, Frankfurt Germany. I hesitated to include it in our newsletter for a number of reasons, and subsequently followed up with a fairly extensive web and literature search for further information. Dr. Andrew Maniotis gives his credentials and background on this website: http://www.novaccine.com/andrew_maniotis.asp. However, we can see another take (a diatribe actually) on the whole situation on this website: www.aidstruth.org/documents/AndrewManiotis.pdf. That is where you will see the strong smear campaign going on regarding Dr. [...]

Here is a brief outline of our Tour #35 schedule: Sunday (Nov. 2): Tour delegates met at our Munich airport hotel this evening for an informal welcome reception. Most North Americans had to leave on Saturday to get to Germany on Sunday, due to North Atlantic flight schedules and losing time zones. Because participants join us from all over the world, everyone made their own airline arrangements. Monday (Nov. 3): Our deluxe motor coach took us from Munich to Baden-Baden. In the afternoon a half [...]

I had the pleasure of attending the AMSAT seminar in Penticton, BC, Canada this summer, and have been using this device in my office since then. At this point, I am able to comment on some of the strengths and weaknesses of the system. This could very well be limited by my understanding of AMSAT's potential, as it was made clear that the first seminar had just scratched the surface.  Thus far, it has proven to be an excellent overall diagnostic approach. As it provides information about physical structure [...]

Web Watch Submitted by our own Esther Treitl, November 2008 (no source available) The food additive MSG (Mono-Sodium Glutamate) is a slow poison. MSG hides behind 25 or more names, such as ‘Natural Flavoring’. MSG is even in your favorite coffee from Tim Horton's and Starbucks coffee shops! I wondered if there could be an actual chemical causing the massive obesity epidemic, and so did a friend of mine, John Erb. He was a research assistant at the University of Waterloo in Ontario, Canada, and spent years working for [...]

Selye’s triad of intoxication explains why medical doctors, why all of us make mistakes. Why? Because we are looking in the wrong places for the CAUSE of the disease. Most allopathic treatments and many complementary treatments focus on the end result of illnesses. This is easy. It doesn’t need much brain power. It’s easy to explain to patients. Not complicated. Good for business. However, it doesn’t get our patients cured. I define HEALTH as being ORGANISED CHAOS. Healthy systems LOOK totally organized. BUT you cannot predict the outcome. Having [...]

"Nature trumps all, and when she wishes to correct the insanity of our plans for her planet, we are helpless to stop or even slow her down.” My world burned on June 24th of this year. I witnessed its genesis on a beautiful Big Sur summer day, clear and warm, the Pacific luminescent in the afternoon sun. And then, from the north, 3 small, innocent, tumbling clouds, passing overhead barely noticed, until... Boom. Five rapid lightning strikes: 4 over the ocean and 1 touching down half a mile south [...]

As I have watched the federal elections unfold in Canada and the USA, I have been constantly astounded by the apathy of the majority of the citizens in each country. I found Mr. Letterman’s comments timely – and applicable in almost every country of the so called “civilized” West. CLWS What are we so unhappy about? David Letterman wrote this; it's the David we don't often see... “As most of you know I am not a President Bush fan, nor have I ever been, but [...]

Web Watch “While working for the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, I monitored two major projects for FDA, in addition to other product investigations. These projects concerned Pesticides and Chemicals in Foods, and Illegal Drug Tissue Residues in Animals. I worked closely with sister federal and state agencies, oversaw contract compliance, and was coordinator and lead investigator on projects involving FDA, EPA and USDA. The toxicology, histology and biochemistry of aspartame (aka: NutraSweet, Equal, etc.) is neurotoxic. The aspartame components injure the blood-brain barrier, allowing easy passage, and will [...]
