There is a good reason I distrust america's medical establishment and I think there are good reasons for everyone to question it. Remember, the medical establishment is a business, in most instances these companies are large corporations including but not limited to hospitals, pharmacy companies, medical supply companies, cancer research, AIDS research, etc. Business is about making money and finding the best way to maximize profit for shareholders, its not about what is morally right as a corporation does not think, especially one full of amoral misers.
Psychiatry:
The laughing stock of the medical world, even many doctors think psychiatry is a joke. In my experience there is no doctor trying to find the root cause of mental illness, rather, they load the patient up with mind numbing medications that seem to be never ending. You take one pill for this, and it causes an unwanted side effect, so you take another for that side effect, and so on. There are few mainstream psychiatrists that don't rely on medication. What baffles me is that this is not exactly rocket science, they just make it out to be. Americans have one of the worst diets, we are overfed and undernourished. Our food has a high amount of calories yet very little nutrition, so, our body is not satisfied and keeps feeling the need to eat. Vitamin deficiencies can cause a wide assortment of illnesses, including mental illness. See below for the article on MSG, which is in nearly every food we eat.
Cancer:
One thing that absolutely disgusts me about our capitalist system is corporations and how they capitalize on tragedy. Granted, it works well because people are so emotionally involved that they tend not to think rationally. Let me appeal to your sense of logic for a moment, in breast cancer alone there has been decades of research and billions of dollars raised, yet there have been a whopping zero advancements. We still use the same outdated treatments that seem to do more damage than the cancer. Doctors who do honest research seem to be attacked by the system and discredited by the media, who seem to be an extension of our fascist government and corporations.
(see http://www.burzynskimovie.com/ for more details)
AIDS:
This seems to be another capitalist ploy to make money by keeping people sick with a mysterious disease with mysterious origins. Of course any serious inquiries that challenge the status quo are discredited and the inquirers labeled "kooks". AIDS is a big money maker and nobody can deny that. The now trillions of dollars given for research, the trillions made by pharmaceutical companies developing drugs to treat this disease.
The moment that the medical industry can make more money off of people being cured is the moment that we will have cures. You cannot tell me that the medical industry is the only industry in which corporations act morally and responsibly and are not worried about profit, that defies capitalist logic.

Vaccines:
This has been a highly charged debate as of late, are vaccines good or bad, do they cause autism, etc. The fact is that most people have little to no idea what is actually in vaccines and even less know why they even contain some of these ingredients. Again, the vaccine industry is a trillion dollar a year industry, I think it is safe to say that any study done on vaccines has the potential to be tainted. Nobody can blame a corporation for trying to protect its income. What I will do is list the ingredients of vaccines, and even supply the phone number to the manufacturer of each vaccine, then I will discuss some of the ingredients and their possible side effects and the known effects of them. The following comes from a book "Vaccine Ingredients by Austin James".

Formaldehyde
Many of these vaccines contain formaldehyde.
According to cancer.gov formaldehyde is: “a colorless,
flammable, strong-smelling chemical that is used in building
materials and to produce many household products. It is used
in pressed-wood products, such as particleboard, plywood, and
fiberboard; glues and adhesives; permanent-press fabrics;
paper product coatings; and certain insulation materials. In
addition, formaldehyde is commonly used as an industrial
fungicide, germicide, and disinfectant, and as a preservative in
mortuaries and medical laboratories. Formaldehyde also
occurs naturally in the environment. It is produced in small
amounts by most living organisms as part of normal metabolic
processes.”
The short-term risks from coming into contact with
formaldehyde, according to cancer.gov are: “When
formaldehyde is present in the air at levels exceeding 0.1 ppm,
some individuals may experience adverse effects such as
watery eyes; burning sensations in the eyes, nose, and throat;
coughing; wheezing; nausea; and skin irritation. Some people
are very sensitive to formaldehyde, whereas others have no
reaction to the same level of exposure.” And from the same
website: “Although the short-term health effects of
formaldehyde exposure are well known, less is known about its
potential long-term health effects. In 1980, laboratory studies
showed that exposure to formaldehyde could cause nasal
cancer in rats. This finding raised the question of whether
formaldehyde exposure could also cause cancer in humans.In
1987, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)
classified formaldehyde as a probable human carcinogen
under conditions of unusually high or prolonged exposure.
Since that time, some studies of humans have suggested that
formaldehyde exposure is associated with certain types of
cancer. The International Agency for Research on Cancer
(IARC) classifies formaldehyde as a human carcinogen. In
2011, the National Toxicology Program, an interagency
program of the Department of Health and Human Services,
named formaldehyde as a known human carcinogen in its 12th
Report on Carcinogens.”
According to Clinical and Experimental Pharmacology
and Physiology, “1. Formaldehyde (FA) has been found to
cause toxicity to neurons. However, its neurotoxic mechanisms
have not yet been clarified. Increasing evidence has shown that
oxidative damage is one of the most critical effects of
formaldehyde exposure. Paraoxonase-1 (PON-1) is a pivotal
endogenous anti-oxidant. Thus, we hypothesized that FAmediated
downregulation of PON1 is associated with its
neurotoxicity. 2. In the present work, we used PC12 cells to
study the neurotoxicity of FA and explore whether PON-1 is
implicated in FA-induced neurotoxicity. 3. We found that FA
has potent cytotoxic and apoptotic effects on PC12 cells. FA
induces an accumulation of intracellular reactive oxygen
species along with downregulation of Bcl-2 expression, as well
as increased cytochrome c release. FA significantly suppressed
the expression and activity of PON-1 in PC12 cells.
Furthermore, H(2)S, an endogenous anti-oxidant gas,
antagonizes FA-induced cytotoxicity as well as 2-
hydroxyquinoline, a specific inhibitor of PON-1, which also
induces cytotoxicity to PC12 cells. 4. The results of the present
study provide, for the first time, evidence that the inhibitory
effect on PON-1 expression and activity is involved in the
neurotoxicity of FA, and suggest a promising role of PON-1 as
a novel therapeutic strategy for FA-mediated
toxicity.” (Clinical and Experimental Pharmacology and
Physiology, Vol. 38, Issue 4, March 2011)
While the mechanisms have not been clarified, it is clear that
formaldehyde is neurotoxic. If formaldehyde is neurotoxic in
adult humans, what of developing brains? If a neurotoxic
substance is injected into a developing child, is this not
potentially dangerous? My guess would be yes, but I am not
aware of any actual studies that would suggest formaldehyde is
safe or unsafe for infants and children.
Human diploid cells
Are these human diploid cells actually from aborted fetal
tissue? According to Merk’s own description of the Varivax,
the varicella virus vaccine, “VARIVAX [Varicella Virus Vaccine
Live (Oka/Merck)] is a preparation of the Oka/Merck strain of
live, attenuated varicella virus. The virus was initially
obtained from a child with natural varicella, then introduced
into human embryonic lung cell cultures, adapted to and
propagated in embryonic guinea pig cell cultures and finally
propagated in human diploid cell cultures (WI-38). Further
passage of the virus for varicella vaccine was performed at
Merck Research Laboratories (MRL) in human diploid cell
cultures (MRC-5) that were free of adventitious agents. This
live, attenuated varicella vaccine is a lyophilized preparation
containing sucrose, phosphate, glutamate, and processed
gelatin as stabilizers.” (http://www.whale.to/a/pdf/
varivax_pi.pdf) While Merck does not specify where these
embryonic cells are from, the National Network for
Immunization Information states that: “Human diploid cells
are batches of human cells that are grown in a laboratory.
Unlike cancer cells, they have the same number of
chromosomes as normal human cells.
Certain diploid cell strains are valuable in vaccine
manufacture because these cells can be used for a very long
period of time in the laboratory and are a reliable means by
which many viruses that infect humans can be successfully and
easily grown. Vaccines prepared in human diploid cells have
proven to be very safe over the past several decades.
Two different strains of human diploid cell cultures made from
fetuses have been used extensively for vaccine production for
decades. One was developed in the United States in 1961
(called WI-38) and the other in the United Kingdom in 1966
(called MRC-5).
WI-38 came from lung cells from a female fetus of 3-months
gestation and MRC-5 was developed from lung cells from a
14-week-old male fetus. Both fetuses were intentionally
aborted, but neither was aborted for the purpose of obtaining
diploid cells.123. The fetal tissues that eventually became
WI-38 and the MRC-5 cell cultures were removed from fetuses
that were dead. The cellular biologists who made the cell
cultures did not induce the abortions.
These two cell strains have been growing under laboratory
conditions for more than 35 years. The cells are merely the
biological system in which the viruses are grown. These cell
strains do not and cannot form a complete organism and do
not constitute a potential human being. The cells reproduce
themselves, so there is no need to abort additional fetuses to
sustain the culture supply. Viruses are collected from the
diploid cell cultures and then processed further to produce the
vaccine itself.
The WI-38 and MRC-5 cell cultures have been used to prepare
hundreds of millions of doses of vaccines, preventing millions
of cases of rubella, hepatitis A, varicella and rabies. In the
United States, only one of these diseases can be prevented with
an FDA-licensed vaccine not grown in human diploid cells.
This is the RabAvert brand of rabies vaccine manufactured by
Chiron Corporation.
Some of the vaccines that are produced in human diploid cells
might now be able to be prepared in alternative types of cell
cultures. Some of these cell cultures were not available or were
not considered suitable for use in vaccines when the original
vaccines were developed. However, there is no guarantee that
vaccines grown in these alternative cell lines would be as safe
and effective as currently licensed vaccines and development is
likely to be extremely costly. Thus, there is little incentive for
vaccine manufacturers to develop and test new vaccines when
an existing licensed vaccine is known to be both safe
and effective.” (http://www.immunizationinfo.org/issues/
vaccine-components/human-fetal-links-some-vaccines)
Thimerosal
Few studies of the toxicity of thiomersal in humans have
been performed. Cases have been reported of severe poisoning
by accidental exposure or attempted suicide, with some
fatalities. (Clarkson TW (2002). "The three modern faces of
mercury". Environ Health Perspect 110 (S1): 11–23.)
MSG (Monosodium Glutamate)
Another ingredient found in many vaccinations, and
most of our foods, is MSG. To explain MSG and its effects, we
will refer to Dr. Russell Blaylock’s book, Excitotoxins: The
Taste That Kills. Dr. Blaylock is a neurologist with many years
experience on diet and its effects on the human body, namely
the brain. Dr. Blaylock writes: “
MSG (monosodium glutamate) is a taste enhancing and
hydrolyzed vegetable protein. At the time of discovery, MSG
was thought to be safe since it was a natural substance (an
amino acid). The amount of MSG alone added to foods has
doubled in every decade since the 1940's and by 1972 262,000
metric tons of MSG were produced.
In 1957 two ophthalmologists, Lucas and Newhouse decided
to test MSG on infant mice in an effort to study an eye disease
known as hereditary retinal dystrophy. When they examined
the eye tissue of the sacrificed animals they made a startling
discovery. MSG had destroyed all the nerve cells in the inner
layers of the animals retina which are the visual receptor cells
of the eye.
Ten years later John W. Olney, MD a neuroscientist working
for the Department of Psychiatry at Washington University in
St. Louis repeated Lucus and Newhouse's experiment in infant
mice. He found that MSG was not only toxic to the retina, but
also to the brain. When he examined the animals brains, he
discovered that specialized cells in a critical area of the
animals brain, the hypothalamus, were destroyed after a single
dose of MSG.
At this time the concentrations of MSG found in baby foods
was equal to that used to create brain lesions in experimental
animals and in all these experiments, immature animals were
found to be much more vulnerable to the toxic effects of MSG
than older animals (this was true for all animal species tested).
The FDA refused to take action after Dr. Olney informed the
FDA and it was only after his testimony before a
Congressional committee that the food manufactures agreed to
remove MSG from baby foods.
But instead of adding MSG, added hydrolyzed vegetable
protein, instead. Today EXCITOTOXINS are still added to our
food, usually in the form of caseinate, beef or chicken broth, or
flavoring.
In experimental animals "MSG babies" are found to be short in
stature, obese and have difficulty reproducing. This effect only
becomes evident long after the initial use of MSG exposure.
More detailed studies have found that "MSG babies" have
severe disorders involving several hormones normally
produced by the hypothalamus.
MSG is not the only taste "enhancing" food additive known to
cause damage to the nervous system. They all share one
important property.
When neurons are exposed to these substances, they become
very excited and fire their impulses very rapidly until they
reach a state of "extreme exhaustion". Several hours later these
neurons suddenly die as if the cells were excited to death.
As a result, neuroscientists have dubbed these class of
chemicals "EXCITOTOXINS."
Several EXCITOTOXINS are man made,-- others are found in
nature-- such as glutamate, aspartate and cysteine - all which
are amino acids.
MSG is a modified from of 'glutamic acid' in which sodium is
added to the molecule. But the toxic portion is the *glutamic*
acid, not the sodium.
Often manufactures will mix MSG with other substances to
"disguise" it.
Hydrolyzed vegetable protein also referred to as vegetable
protein, or plant protein is a mixture made from "junk"
vegetables,-- unfit for sale, especially selected so as to have
naturally high contents of "glutamate".
The extraction process of "hydrolysis" involves boiling these
vegetables in a vat of acid, followed by the process of
neutralization with caustic soda. The resulting product is a
brown sludge that collects on top. This is scraped off and
allowed to dry and the end product is a brown powder that is
high in 3 known EXCITOTOXINS -- glutamate, aspartate and
cystoic acid (which converts in the body to cysteine).
It's then added to the food manufacture.
All these chemicals stimulate the taste cells in the tongue,
thereby enhancing the taste of food. Another excitotoxin
additive is the artificial sweetener Nutra-sweet, 40% of the
compound is composed of the excitotoxin "aspartate". Like
glutamate, aspartate is a powerful brain toxin, which can
produce similar neuron damage.
It is well recognized that 'liquid' forms of excitotoxins are
much more toxic to the brain than dry forms, as they absorb
faster and produce higher blood levels than when mixed with
solid foods.
But the negative effects of excitotoxins are not limited to small
children. There is growing evidence that excitotoxins play a
major role in a whole group of degenerative brain diseases in
adults - especially the elderly.
These diseases include Alzheimer's, Parkinson's disease,
Huntington disease, Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) and
more disorders of the nervous system.
What all these disease have in common is a slow destruction of
brain cells that are specifically sensitive to excitotoxin damage.
More and more diseases of the nervous system are being
linked to excitotoxin buildup in the brain.
For example, disorders such as strokes, hypoxic brain injury,
hypoglycemic brain damage, seizures, migraine headaches,
hypoxic brain damage, ADD, ADHD, and even AIDS dementia
have been linked to excitotoxins 'damage'.
There is evidence that some individuals born with "metabolic"
defects in certain brain cells may be particularly susceptible to
excitotoxin damage.
The food industry and representatives of the glutamate
manufactures have joined together to fight anyone who would
dare criticize the use of flavor enhances, in fact they have
formed a special lobby group to counter any negatives about
their product.
This group is called the Glutamate Association and is made up
of representatives of major US food manufacturers and the
Ajinomoto G. based in Japan, the chief manufacturer of MSG
and hydrolyzed protein.
The 'neuron system' within the hypothalamus appears to use
glutamate as a neurotransmitter. The pituitary gland "Master
Gland" controls the other endocrine glands, such as the
adrenals, the thyroid and reproductive organs by releasing
small amounts of it's controlling hormones into the blood.
What controls the pituitary gland, the hypothalamus - it
controls hormone releasing factors that stimulate the pituitary
to release hormones. By the feed back control, the
hypothalamus "regulates" the hormone balance in the body.
Sort of a hormone thermostat.
The discovery by Dr. Olney was particularly important,
because the hypothalamus plays an important role in
"controlling" so many areas of the body.
The hypothalamus regulates growth, the onset of puberty, most
of the endocrine glands, appetite, sleep cycles and waking
patterns, the biological clock and even "consciousness" itself.
When MSG feed in doses similar to those found in human
diets, destroys hypothalamic neurons. Later experiments
demonstrated that MSG could cause the hypothalamus to
secrete excessive amounts of a reproductive hormone
(luteinizing hormone) which is associated with an early onset
of puberty. Many of these endocrine effects appeared at an
older age.
The primary purpose of us eating is to support the chemical
reactions of the body. Many of the substances absorbed from
our food plays a vital role in the overall metabolic process of
life. When adult humans are fed 100-150 milligrams per
kilogram of body weight of MSG, their blood levels rise 20
times higher than normal as compared to a four fold rise seen
in experimental mice fed a comparable dose. A child's brain is
four times more 'sensitive' than an adult brain to these toxins.
Glutamate and aspartate are "s" neurotransmitters (the keys)
found normally in the brain and spinal cord and even though
they are two of the most common transmitter chemicals in the
brain and spinal core, when their concentrations rise above a
critical level they become deadly "toxins" to the neurons
containing "glutamate receptors" (the locks).
What this means is that excessive glutamate will not only kill
the 'neurons' with the receptors for glutamate, but it will also
kill any neuron that happens to be connected to it, even if that
neuron uses another type of transmitter. Both glutamate and
aspartate can cause neurons to become extremely 'excited' and
if given in large enough doses, they can cause the cells to
degenerate and die. It is for this reason that the nervous system
carefully controls the concentration of these two amino acids
in the fluid surrounding the neurons (called the extracellular
space). Even small doses can damage these neurons without
actually killing them. Within 15-30 minutes after being
exposed to high doses of MSG, neurons suspended in tissue
culture are seen to 'swell' like balloons. Within 3 hrs. those
neurons are not only dead, but the bodies defense mechanism
begins to haul away the "debris".
Be aware, the FDA does not regulate the amount of
carcinogens allowed in "hydrolyzed vegetable protein" or the
amount of hydrolyzed vegetable protein allowed to be added to
food products.
Manufacturers disguise MSG, in foods it is disguised as
hydrolyzed vegetable protein, natural flavorings and spices,
each of those may contain 12%-40% MSG.”
Dr. Blaylock states that MSG is often disguised on our
food labels, here is a list demonstrating this very fact.
Additives that always contain MSG:
Monosodium Glutamate
Hydrolyzed Vegetable Protein
Hydrolyzed Protein
Hydrolyzed Plant Protein
Plant Protein Extract
Sodium Caseinate
Calcium Caseinate
Yeast Extract
Textured Protein
Autolyzed Yeast
Hydrolyzed Oat Flour
Additives that frequently contain MSG:
Malt extract
Malt Flavoring
Bouillon
Broth
Stock
Flavoring
Natural Flavoring
Natural Beef or Chicken Flavoring
Seasoning
Additives that may contain MSG or excitotoxins:
Carrageenan
Enzymes
Soy Protein Concentrate
Soy Protein Isolate
Whey Protein Concentrate
What is MSG toxicity syndrome?
Monosodium glutamate (MSG) toxicity syndrome occurs in
response to free-glutamic acid, which is a breakdown product
of protein after it has been processed by a food manufacturer.
While all protein has glutamic acid bound in it, it is only the
glutamic acid that has been freed from the protein before it is
consumed that causes the reactions.
Growing numbers of patients and physicians and some
scientists are convinced that the ingestion of this processed
free-glutamic acid can cause adverse reactions in one or more
organs of the body. In 1969, H. H. Schaumburg, an MSG
researcher who helped educate the public and the medical
industry about the dangers of MSG, concluded that up to 30
percent of the population had sensitivity reactions from the
MSG in an ordinary diet.
What does all this potentially mean?
According to Prof. Boyd Haley, “A single vaccine given
to a six-pound newborn is the equivalent of giving a 180-
pound adult 30 vaccinations on the same day. Include in this
the toxic effects of high levels of aluminum and formaldehyde
contained in some vaccines, and the synergist toxicity could be
increased to unknown levels. Further, it is very well known
that infants do not produce significant levels of bile or have
adult renal capacity for several months after birth. Bilary
transport is the major biochemical route by which mercury is
removed from the body, and infants cannot do this very well.
They also do not possess the renal (kidney) capacity to remove
aluminum. Additionally, mercury is a well-known inhibitor of
kidney function.” (http://www.whale.to/m/haley.html)
