Find a Disease You Like

A very humorous look at disease - just open it up and keep on searching till you find a disease you like.. for example..

Pathological Retarded Identity Disorder With Facial Tic

PRIDWFT is primarily characterized by obsessive and harmful thoughts and behaviors exacerbated by a clinically significant mental aptitude impairment surrounding the perception of self, worsened by involuntary facial muscle spasms.

You can keep on generating new disease conditions with just the click of a button.. and the site goes on to tell you nicely tongue in cheek how you can now get filthy rich by creating a drug to treat it!!

For a good laugh and they also have an interesting newsletter which goes out weekly. Mostly USA news, but hey.. that often applies to the rest of us as well.

The Disappearance of the Bees:

The honey bees have been disappearing in the USA - many things are conjectured to be the cause - electromagnetic field radiation disturbing their homing instincts, pesticides, GM crops - and apparently large number of virus and fungi have been found in the bodies of those left in almost abandoned hives - its an alarming sign of the times.

"If the bee disappeared off the surface of the globe then man would only have four years of life left. No more bees, no more pollination, no more plants, no more animals, no more man." - Albert Einstein

"Outfoxed - Rupert Murdoch's War on Journalism".

We would like to introduce those of you who live in Perth to a very interesting person we had the pleasure of meeting last week - Darrell Brown.

His passion is assisting people to wake up to what is really going on around them. Sound familiar?
We think many of you will appreciate his work so would like to suggest you consider coming to the next event - "Outfoxed - Rupert Murdoch's War on Journalism". April 11th 2007.

Consider this:
In 1983 most of the world's media was controlled by around 50 corporations. Today in 2007 that has been reduced to just five!

"Outfoxed" examines how media empires, led by Rupert Murdoch's Fox News, have been running a "race to the bottom" in television news. This film provides an in-depth look at Fox News and the dangers of ever-enlarging corporations from taking control.

To book for this event, check Darrell's website.

Toxic Chemicals in the Blood

Yes we are in Australia but this is a chilling reminder of the toxic load we are carrying around - and you can be sure it is not only in Canada that this is happening.
And some reports would have you believe that detoxing is an unnecessary and useless exercise. Why then when I do a detox program does my head feel clear and my body light and energetic?
Canadian Politicians Found to carry toxic chemical soup.

Start by reading labels, we can't eat numbers! Then choose organic whenever possible, juice on a regular basis - the Compact Juicer makes a great addition to your kitchen and will help you to implement a healthy drink on a daily basis which will alkalise and assist your body to detoxify.

How the Cost of the Iraq War COULD have been spent!

Nobel Prize-winning economist Joseph Stiglitz puts the total cost at more than $2 trillion — but let's be conservative and say it's only $1 trillion (in today's dollars).

Imagine for a moment what could have been done with that money. How many people could have been fed? How many clean sources of water could have been found for those who have none.

Almost two in three people lacking access to clean water survive on less than $2 a day, with one in three living on less than $1 a day.

Look at some of these statistics and then consider the enormity of the misdirection that is occurring here on planet earth today!

Half the world — nearly three billion people — live on less than two dollars a day.
Nearly a billion people entered the 21st century unable to read a book or sign their names.
Less than one per cent of what the world spent every year on weapons was needed to put every child into school by the year 2000 and yet it didn't happen.

Take every opportunity you can to show our 'leaders' where we want our money spent.

Vaccinations forced to health workers

There is an urgent appeal going out to all our friends from the Australian Vaccination Network

here is a transcript of an email we received yesterday - it is worth our action!

We have had a flood of medical and allied students who are getting kicked out of their courses (in Australia) because they are not vaccinated. This has been an ongoing situation for the last 12 months and it is getting worse with the requirement now extending to current employees of hospitals as well as students.

AVN (Australian Vaccination Network) have a barrister who is willing to take a case to try and stop this. He is not charging us for time, but needs money for disbursements and expenses - $1,500 to start and up to $5,000 by the time this gets to court. This would normally cost between $10,000 and $15,000 so we are paying less than 10% of the normal costs - a bargain if we had the money!

We have no funds for this - or at all as this is a very hard time of year for us - but not running this case is not an option as far as I'm concerned. This is a test of our will - if we allow this to be done, we and our children will be the next victims of mandatory vaccination and, as an expat American where vaccines have been compulsory since 1978, that is a road I do NOT want to go down. I don't think you do either.

Please if you are in a position to give us a donation to fight against these draconian rules, do it now.

We accept donations by credit card by phone (02 6687 1699), FAX (02 6687 2032) or on our website - www.avn.org.au.

You can also direct deposit funds into our account at the Westpac bank either by internet banking or over the counter.

The bank details are as follows:
Australian Vaccination Network Inc.
Westpac Bank - Ballina Branch
BSB number is 032 591
Account number is 188207

Leave your name as identification so we can send you a receipt!

Cheque or money orders can be posted to:
AVN
PO Box 177
Bangalow NSW 2479
AUSTRALIA

I am leaving it there, but please consider carefully what kind of country you want to live in and bring your children up in and how much you would spend to keep your family safe. A $25 donation from each of you will have a benefit far and away in excess of the actual cost to your pocket.
Kind regards,

Meryl Dorey,
President
Australian Vaccination Network
Enabling Australians to make informed health choices.

we at Best Health support this cause.
