Drug Industry is Infiltrating Supposedly "Independent" Media Outlets
The Australian newspaper has reportedly accepted an
undisclosed amount of sponsorship money from the drug industry
for a series of health policy articles.
The drug industry spends nearly twice as much on promotion
as it does on research and development, and part of this
promotion includes hefty advertising dollars that allow the
industry to dictate editorial policy.
The drug industry also uses their marketing and
lobbying dollars to influence medical science,
published journal articles, and government policy.
Drug companies are the BIGGEST political lobby,
and political lobbying is one of the primary reasons why the
drug companies are controlling nearly every
facet of the health industry.
As journalist Ray Moynihan recently reported in the British Medical Journal:
"Just as many doctors contemplate an end to their dance with drug company marketers, a fresh new crew is stepping lively onto the floor: journalists and media organizations looking for easy ways to fund their reporting, travel, and education.
The BMJ reported … that the Murdoch empire's flagship newspaper in
Australia has accepted an undisclosed amount of sponsorship money from
the drug industry for a series of articles on health policy—and that the
idea arose from a meeting between advertising agents.
Defending the deal, the Australian's editor said that independence and integrity were maintained; but as others pointed out, this new form of financial closeness between journalists and the companies they scrutinise raises real concerns."
This is really not surprising considering that that media mogul Rupert Murdoch's son, James Murdoch, is a member of drug giant GlaxoSmithKline's (GSK) corporate responsibility committee (a position he entered in May 2009). His job? To review "external issues that might have the potential for serious impact upon the group's business and reputation" -- a position he's well suited for …
James Murdoch, as you may know, is the chairman and chief executive of News Corporation Europe and Asia, and chairman of BSkyB.
I can only imagine the extent to which drug makers can benefit from having a media mogul on their payroll, as well as "sponsoring" media content on health policy. Clearly they've thought this one through, and it makes perfect sense when you consider the clout they need to keep the media quiet

Aspartame- NutraSweet, Equal, Spoonful & Equal Measure
Aspartame - be aware.
Aspartame is the technical name for the brand names
NutraSweet, Equal, Spoonful, and Equal-Measure.
Aspartame was approved for dry goods in 1981 and for
carbonated beverages in 1983.
Aspartame accounts for over 75 percent of the
adverse reactions to food additives reported to the FDA.
Many of these reactions are very serious.
A few of the 90 different documented symptoms
listed in the report as being caused by aspartame include:
Headaches/migraines, dizziness, seizures, nausea, numbness,
muscle spasms, weight gain, rashes, depression, fatigue,
irritability, insomnia, vision problems, hearing loss,
heart palpitations, breathing difficulties, anxiety attacks,
slurred speech, loss of taste, tinnitus, vertigo,
memory loss, and joint pain.
According to researchers and physicians studying the
adverse effects of aspartame, the following chronic illnesses
can be triggered or worsened by ingesting of aspartame:
Brain tumors, multiple sclerosis, epilepsy, chronic fatigue syndrome,
parkinson's disease, alzheimer's, mental retardation, lymphoma,
birth defects, fibromyalgia, and diabetes.
Aspartame is made up of three chemicals: aspartic acid, phenylalanine,
and methanol. The book "Prescription for Nutritional Healing,"
by James and Phyllis Balch, lists aspartame under the
category of "chemical poison."

Which Energy Drinks and Fruit Juice is Better?
Is Yoli Energy Drinks and Fruit Juice Better?
Why does Yoli add the highest quality dry ingredients to water.
The benefit of this as you may already realize, beverages which are
pre mixed must, for health and safety purposes go through
pasteurization before they can be sold and consumed by the public.
The process of pasteurization heats up the product to a temperature level
which will sufficiently destroy any bacteria or pathogens. The unfortunate side of pasteurization is that many good nutrients are also destroyed in the process.
With Yoli the ingredients have not been pasteurized but freeze dried, a
process that preserves vitamins instead of destroying them by heating them up.
Also, consider beverages can sit in storage and on shelves for weeks or
months losing even more nutritional value before being consumed, .
With the Yoli delivery system makes it possible to enjoy your beverage fresh, while it’s still at its peak and full of vital nutrients. The ingredients are kept separate from the water until you are ready to enjoy.
Yoli Inc., states they use the freshest ingredients available.
According to the label, the drink is packed with all the ingredients we’re hearing so much about lately; It has 100% vitamin C & Zinc and between 25% – 50% of over 17 other vitamins and minerals. It contains other ingredients like Goji, pomegranate and Acai. They have an ingredient called Alkalete which is a ph enhancer and no artificial sweeteners. Instead they use Stevia Reb-A which is a natural plant based sweetener. It even contains Resveratrol. The ingredient in wine stated to have so many positive anti-aging effects.

Osteoporosis and Acid/Alkaline diet
Osteoporosis and Alkalete
Yoli Alkalete helps with ph balance
Osteoporosis means porous bones, where bone density is reduced
leading to a higher risk of fracture, which can, in severe cases, have fatal consequences.
According to the National Osteoporosis Society, one in two women and
one in five men over the age of 50 in the UK will fracture a bone,
mainly due to poor bone health. But you can prevent and/or treat it,
says nutritionist Dr Marilyn Glenville, which I recommend highly.
Up to 85 per cent of bone development may be genetically determined,
but bone density can also be affected by lack of the right nutrients.
Continuous dieting, anorexia or gut problems (eg, irritable bowel syndrome)
may put you at risk. Other risk factors include taking too little exercise,
smoking and some medications (eg, steroids or antacids).
Exercise can help. Combine weight-bearing activities (eg, walking, dancing,
tennis, etc) with weight-resistance activities
(swimming, riding, weight training). Yoga achieves both.
Vitamins and minerals are vital for bone health. Calcium (as citrate not carbonate) improves bone density and reduces the risk of fractures. Magnesium helps metabolise calcium and, with boron, converts vitamin D3 to the form that ensures calcium is efficiently absorbed.
Aim for a more alkaline diet. Calcium stored in your bones is leached to
neutralise acid. So the more acidic your diet is, the higher the risk of fracture.
Eating a lot of animal protein – the most acid-forming foods – is linked to
lower bone density. So cut down on meat and cheese (milk and yoghurt are more alkaline) and eat plenty of vegetables,
fruit, whole (unrefined) grains, legumes, nuts and seeds.

Radiation and Glutathione
Radiation exposure and glutathione
Exposure to nuclear radiation from a nuclear fallout due to a
nuclear plant meltdown could be deadly.
For those that don't die, the long-term effects of nuclear radiation
exposure often leads to cancer, especially thyroid cancer!
(this is why you MUST detox from radiation exposure)
Radiation exposure creates an abundance of free radicals
that create many problems for the body. This overabundance
of free radicals also leads to greatly depleted glutathione levels!
Even a little exposure to nuclear radiation can lead to lowered
immune system, and an abundance of free radicals,
including the most dangerous free radical of all: the hydroxyl radical.
The first symptoms of radiation poisoning can include nausea, vomiting,
diarrhoea and rashes. They can appear within MINUTES or
days of exposure. The symptoms could then lead to fatigue,
hair loss, appetite loss, fever, and gastrointestinal problems
which can last for hours, days, and months!
If the nuclear radiation IS NOT detoxified from the body it may
lead to cancer or shorter lifespan!
To protect yourself from a nuclear radiation you must get as
much distance from you and the nuclear fallout as possible.
If evacuation is not possible, you must remain indoors and
seal all windows and keep your AC off.
Limit your time outdoors to zero if possible.
Increase your glutathione IMMEDIATELY!
Glutathione protects your body by immediately going to work
neutralizing free radicals created during unhealthy radiation exposure.
In fact, glutathione is the ONLY antioxidant that can neutralize the
hydroxyl radical created in human body from too much
radiation exposure!
The hydroxyl radical also know as the Hydroxyradical
is the most dangerous free radical of all.
It can damage virtually all types of our macromolecules, including:
carbohydrates, nucleic acids (causing mutations), lipids
(causing lipid peroxidation) and amino acids.
Glutathione, the master and most powerful antioxidant,
is the ONLY antioxidant that can neutralize the hydroxyradical!
Glutathione also rapidly detoxifies the body from
radiation exposure by rebuilding your DNA and
repairing cells damaged from radiation exposure.
Glutathione also works with the immune system and
removes heavy metals, like radioactive iodine 131
(the most common radioactive element given off in nuclear disasters.)
By keeping your glutathione (master antioxidant) levels high
you protect your DNA and your cells from damage!
The most effective glutathione accelerating supplement is MaxGXL!
Another important way to protect yourself from radiation exposure
is through iodine supplementation!
Radioactive iodine is present during nuclear meltdowns, if you are
deficient in iodine your body will absorb the radioactive iodine.
(glutathione will also greatly help you to detoxify the radioactive iodine).
We live with radiation from microwaves from mobile phones,
cell phone towers, microwave ovens and X-rays.
They too create free radicals in our body.
