Another past Syphilis Experiment Is Revealed; but is this type of cruelty still being perpetrated today?

This is an experiment from the 1940s where individuals in guatemala were purposely infected with syphillis to test the effectiveness of antibiotics. Yes you guessed it, the NIH financed the study and sent doctors over to conduct the study. While this is news that is over 55 years old, the concern to us today is that the mentality of the self-appointed medical establishment has not changed yet. They still think in very similar ways and treat people with the same disdain and disregard they always had.
It is scary to think that we put our health and lives every day in the hands of doctors who are compelled (& coerced if need be) to follow the authority figures opinions to the letter.
Many of us know the consequences the hard way. Many of us go to establishment doctors and never get better; only the bills grow. Many of us realize experientially that there is something wrong when my doctor pushes an ever increasing number of drugs on me as I seem to deteriorate or never feel an improvement in my condition.
I worked in the past alongside a very educated man who became diabetic at around age 52. Over the course of several years I saw him taking more medications, having more tests and procedures and consistently getting worse. Things got to the point where they started amputating his toes one every few months. All the meanwhile the poor guy was following his doctors orders to the letter. He took all medicines, followed all diet recommendations and showed up for every test, visit and procedure. The patient never thought there was something else he was missing. He was always impressed with the technology and order his doctor uses and he thought his non-improvement was solely his fault and that his doctor is tolerating his indiscretion. In fact this is what his doctor told him on every visit.

These are not universal observations. However, these are the observations of about 1 in 5 patients who visit mainstream doctors. This is about 20% of all Americans for whom the system simply does not work. Of course the establishment went on the offensive long time ago to quell this minority. They basically call us everything from neurotic to retarded, to imbeciles, to mental cases to "it's all in your head" to "it is all your fault"... to all sorts of demeaning and demoralizing language that is meant to invalidate our experience. This is meant to make one feel that the problem is in me and with me and not in the system itself.
This is the sad state of affairs we suffer from today. Thankfully there are enlightened doctors and health care providers who understand the situation and who have successfully threaded themselves out of the system and operate independently to give patients the personalized care they deserve and need, devoid of judgment or extraneous doctrine. These are the wholistic doctors and the can be your average med school educated MD or DO or your less conventional naturopath, oriental med doctor, chiropractor and so forth.

Wholistic doctors don't know more or less than conventional doctors. They simply look at the person as a person and not as a symptom. They typically spend hours (instead of minutes) with their patient to figure out each and every factor in their life that could impact their health. They then come up with a partnership plan where the doctor acts more like a cheerleader and advocate for the patient to take charge of her health. This partnership includes lifestyle modifications, referrals to other doctors for specific matters, various forms of therapy (spiritual, herbal, medical...). Meanwhile the wholistic doctor keeps track of the full picture so the pieces are always in one place no matter how many people are involved in the plan.

Like I always tell my clients, if the system works for you, then there is no point in dwelling on any of this. Take your pharmaceutical and be on your merry way. However, if you have a similar experience to what I described above, then it is incumbent upon you to explore alternate routs to optimal health other than the 5 minute visit culminating in a pharmaceutical drug prescribed.

Good Luck,

ABSOLUTE DRIVEL: Toddlers immune to 'contagious' yawning: study

This article could make one angry if it were not completely ridiculous. Millions of our tax dollars are being spent on a study of "contagious yawning", and the conclusions are forgone as far as the pseudoscientists who profiteered from the study. They are claiming that since autistic children have no "empathy" then they are not affected by other people yawning in their presence.

Any parent will tell you that autistic kids do yawn contagiously when someone they feel connected to yawns. Any parent will tell you that autistic kids do not lack empathy either. They are in fact deeply affected by suffering anywhere; even the suffering of complete strangers. They may not always show it, or have a way to express it in terms the neurotypical/insensitive majority can relate to.

Let us not confuse the difficulty expressing oneself, common in autism, with lack of empathy. The mainstream medical community is taking a group of individuals who cannot express themselves and is calling them all sorts of names. This is nothing short of character assassination and an expression of deep concerns among the mainstream society. They are afraid that a generation of autistic children will grow up to condemn their ways and set the record straight.

what a shame!
what a shame!

Once more, no link found between vaccine preservative and autism - latimes.com

It has been a while since I last wrote. I have been occupied with non-essential, non-core affairs which could not be ignored. Nonetheless, this article in the la times caught my eyes today and I wanted to share my take and experience with the possible link of autism and vaccines.

REALITY ABOUT AUTISM & VACCINES

“The righteous is not innocent of the deeds of the wicked, and the white-handed is not clean in the doings of the felon… more often the condemned is the burden bearer for the guiltless and unblamed. You cannot separate the just from the unjust and the good from the wicked; for they stand together before the face of the sun even as the black thread and the white are woven together. And when the black thread breaks, the weaver shall look into the whole cloth, and he shall examine the loom also.”
KAHLIL GIBRAN, THE PROPHET PAGE 24

I hope by now in the progress of this book I have convinced you, the reader, that autism is not a disease or a disorder and that it is a natural personality existing on the sensitive side of the personality spectrum. From this perspective no one can claim that there is a cause for autism. When there is no disease there is no cause to be pursued.

I don’t claim to possess any definitive evidence on the case of vaccines in bringing out the autistic personality. Besides, I am not sure if the focus should be on the mercury or the physical trauma of injections or the activation of the immune system that follows or if the problem is a combination of the aforementioned factors. Whatever the reason turns out to be, vaccines do contribute to the behavioral and social deterioration many kids experience after rounds of excessive vaccination. However, I want to say that whatever component of these vaccines is responsible for the deterioration is; it is only bringing the autistic personality out. I assure you it is not creating autism. Vaccines cannot make someone autistic.

Autism is a lifelong personality complex that we are born with. However, among the factors that can make an autistic person more functional or less functional, vaccination rank very high up on the list of factors, which contribute to delay in development and more profound dysfunction.

So much crucially needed energy has been put in the last few years by parents of autistic children to make the medical establishment acknowledge the harm that vaccines has done to their children. The medical establishment would love nothing more than to extend this fight another generation or two. Meanwhile, this energy can be used more constructively to find solutions that will help this generation of kids. When an autistic child sees anger or frustration or sadness in a parent, he thinks that this is the end of his chances for any care or attention. He may even think he is the one to blame for his parents’ feelings. Parental negative emotions reflect deeply on the psyche of autistic children and directly contribute to their troubles.

I understand the frustration and the sadness of the parents. I know you were all wronged. I believe my social development was delayed by some of these same vaccines too. However, I feel really bad when I hear things like, someone has to pay for our children’s troubles. Justice has to be served. We want to get even. This in the last few generations has become the glorified way. If these poor children we are defending were to speak they would teach us all something about justice. They would teach us the difference between justice and mercy. In the footsteps of the great rail-splitter, they would say: “I have always found that mercy bears richer fruits than strict justice” [Abraham Lincoln, at a speech in Washington D.C., 1865].

Everyone must think this statement is advocating mercy for government actions. Far from it; the mercy is meant in favor of the victims. The children who were adversely affected by vaccination need every instance of calm and quiescence around them to catch up with their development. They need to be surrounded by positive loving attitudes untainted by any feelings of anger or revenge.

STRESS OF VACCINATION
Stress at three-month immunization: Parents' and infants' salivary cortisol response in relation to the use of pacifier and oral glucose.
Morelius E, Theodorsson E, nelson N Eur J Pain. 2008 May 15
Department of Molecular and Clinical Medicine, Linkoping University, Sweden
The aims of the present study were to investigate (1) whether the salivary cortisol response could be dampened during a routine three-month immunization if the infant received sweet-tasting solution in combination with a pacifier and (2) stress experienced by parents during immunization of the infant. Ninety-eight infants were included into one of four intervention groups: 'glucose and pacifier', 'water and pacifier', 'glucose', or 'water'. Saliva was collected before and 30min after the immunization. Infants' crying-time and parents' self-reported stress (VAS) were measured before and after immunization. Infants in the 'pacifier and glucose' group had a significantly smaller change in salivary cortisol than infants in the other groups (F(3,72)=3.1, p
NEO-DHARMA:

Vaccines may very well play a role in bringing out the autism personality.

However if vaccines did not bring out the autistic personality, it will come out anyway following other traumatic experiences

Autistic children & adults are some of the most forgiving people who have walked the planet.

Parents are well advised to divert all the energy directed toward fighting the government over vaccines into energy directed toward understanding and helping their children instead.

All the negative energy and anger this type of legal fights brings to the household is bound to reflect negatively on a growing autistic child and actually further delay development

The biggest problem in autism today: 4-year-old autistic boy focus of neglect case

This is my biggest fear realized. Innocent children who cannot express themselves or defend themselves, being neglected, mishandled and abused by none other than their parents and for none other than WHO they are. The attached story of a 4 yo autistic boy kept in captivity by his parents and found soaking in his bodily excrement by the police will undoubtedly break your heart. The real scary part is that for every abuse case discovered many more go unnoticed.

Many more cases of autistic children abused by their care-givers will surface and are happening now. The reasons vary from parental ignorance to a distorted attitude toward children and their role, to misconceptions about autism.

None of that is any excuse of course but there is a historic trend that needs correction. This brings me to the crux of the story. John Locke I have a bone to pick with you. You see the attitude toward children and their role was very unhealthy during the dark ages. Children were expected to work and contribute fully at a very young age, even younger than 6 yo. Many children used to die from the heavy burdens they had to carry and the long hours they worked. As progress took over europe, mr locke came up with another theory in the name of "progress". His theory was that children are born without a personality and with no predisposition to certain areas of interest. He argued that children are what their parents shape them to be. While his theory cut down on child labor as adults started seeing the potential in shaping their children to fulfill dreams they could not fulfill, there was a dangerous side-effect of this attitude looming.

The interests of the parents were forced on children and many times these interests clashed with the child's inborn interests and predisposition. This is where the modern day concept of child abuse comes from. A child who is non-responsive to a parent's wishes or a child who simply does her own thing despite the parent's urging to do otherwise. Based on the prevailing social understanding that children are supposed to follow their parents guidance no matter what, such non-conformist children were considered abnormal (erroneously of course) and treated badly or mistreated or abused physically, psychologically and sexually too.

These kids who had their own personality and wanted badly to customize their lives to their own liking were considered deviants and freaks and it became ok to abuse them as "a way to bring them back to society's expectations".

Even today unfortunately a majority of parents still believe their children should do whatever the parent determines is in the best interest of the child. Attention to the child's own inclinations, notwithstanding. Many kids simply succumb to the routine and activities dictated to them, and hate them in silence. this creates hostility toward the parents and is manifested in a variety of ways. Some children go as far as cutting their parents off as teenagers. And people wonder to this day why teenagers rebel. It is a mystery alright.

Here is the worse part. What about the child who cannot defend herself, express her wants and needs or negotiate with or manipulate her parents into living her life according to her natural inclinations. These are the autistic and highly sensitive children. These suffer the most. They cannot get themselves to live according to their parents who are ignorant of their likes and dislikes and they cannot manipulate their parents to back off. This type of clash reflects badly on the child's development and view of the world and of strangers. Inevitably continuing dictation by the parents will lead to temper flares and to mounting anxiety in the child which could negatively affect their life later on as adults too.

My clients always ask me what is wrong with a parent who wants to send her child to the best school, or have her join a multitude of costly after-school activities or send the child on certain camps. I always answer, but I am not the one who should answer that. Have you asked the child what she wants. or have we just assumed that the parents' judgment is final. The truth is the child SHOULD be consulted on everything from choice of furniture in her room, to clothes to school to activities to everything else. And the child should NOT be forced to engage in any activity against her own will. The parent's role s to monitor the child's level of discomfort and try a new activity as soon as this discomfort is observed.

Workplace dictatorships about to topple at least in germany of all places - SPIEGEL ONLINE

"democracy does not extend to corporations. these entities are dictatorships by definition!" exclaims one corporate executive. It was even said that the constitution itself is suspended in employer-employee relationships. corporations in this country have operated outside the rule of law long enough in this country. Hostile workplaces are just the norm in corporate america and there are no laws against it as long as it is done equally cruelly to employees of all races!

Plantation owner mentality runs rampant in corporations today, and this is not directed against any minority but against any employee of any creed, race, or religion. Proprietors in this country still believe they own the worker and many of them sure act like it.

here is a step coming from germany of all places. there are new proposed laws that prohibit corporations from spying on employees by camera or by intercepting their email or checking their facebook accounts. I say it is about time, and definitely about time congress restored the constitution of the united states to the workplace. yeah right! we can only hope I guess.
