Truth or Dare: The FDA Flaunts it's Misuse and Abuse Openly...

By Aurore Adamkiewicz, ND

I woke up today to read that the FDA, the American "health" watchdog, has approved safe levels of melamine for baby formula. The article is cited in The Associated Press by JOAN LOWY and JUSTIN PRITCHARD on November 29, 2008. This is the title "FDA sets melamine standard for baby formula," how does that make you feel? I hope it disturbs you...should we ever become numb to the constant barrage of poison chemicals let off into our food supply and surroundings because of a few winks and secret handshakes in high places? Keep in mind melamine is responsible for killing thousands of family pets a year ago and more recently thousands of babies in China. One thing that led up to the infants death was the communistic propaganda that the "state" baby food is safer and better then Mother's breast milk. But, I am not convinced that even breast milk is devoid of all of these contaminents and so perhaps it would have been a matter of time any way. So here we are in the "States" and the government has taken over the banks, healthcare, etc....have we been also misled into thinking the FDA is truly interested in the health of the average American?

Ironically, the FDA spends it's time chasing the raw milk dairy farmers and anyone else that cuts into their profits rather than rooting out and stopping the cause of all of these brain, immune, body damaging contaminents. Putting their stamp of approval and shutting their eyes, thus turning them into health mafia organization pushing and shoving people and the truth out of their way. They probably know that beyond baby food, American's are getting a hefty dose of melamine from all of the Chinese toys and products. What is the cliche here then? Ah yes,...if you can't beat em, join em...

This reminds me of the propylene glycol handshake of 15 years ago. Propylene glycol the main ingredient in anti-freeze started showing up in human tissue and breast milk. This led the FDA to set a "standard" and then within the next few years propylene glycol became a sweet cheap preservative and began popping up everywhere. Not just in cosmetics, shampoos, and dedorants but..gasp, in food as well. Through some of my own investigations I have found that cancer causing chemical in Baskin Robbins ice cream and popular cake mixes...it never ceases to amaze me where I find that truly tragic chemical.

To go back farther we have the FDA aluminum handshake with Alcoa, where fluoride was allowed into our water supply, even while it was banned by other countries. Miraculously, with the push for big profits and the inevitable mass exposure from run off, the aluminum/fluoride standard was born. Let's not also forget the safe levels of mercury in vaccines...etc, I could go on and on. I imagine American's putting their Wii's and TV remote controls down, throwing down their sports pages and baseball bats and footbals... RUNNING to their capital steps and demanding change. I imagine American's worried about their children's future and disgusted about how they have been lied to and manipulated for profit...but this is both a dream and a nightmare. Because the truth is, like most of the daily shocking news being streamed out into the publics eye, it will be glanced over and disposed of and never given another thought. They don't have to hide it anymore, because we simply don't care...ah hah, the side effects from the fluoridated anti-depressants and water supply is working (read my blog on fluoride to find out what it does to the brain).

In the hope and protection of human life,

The Truth About Ultrasounds

By Aurore Adamkiewicz ND

It never fails, after someone reads my book "Beyond Natural Cures" they are shocked and horrified about the side effects of ultrasound on the human embryo. I regularly receive emails thanking me for bringing such important information out into the public domain. However, I cannot take all the credit, the information is out there and plenty of it. A google search on the dangers of ultrasound will bring up some of the most update and timely information available on the subject. Now, to my credit, the information I found for my book from Dr. Fatemi and how it damages the eardrums and causes tone deafness-did take quite a bit of investigative reporting, as I reviewed many different resources and news articles across the United States. People think, well, if ultrasound is that harmful-why do they continue to let us have availability to it? My answer is, since when have "they" the white coats, government officials and the scientific torture machine makers have ever cared about our well being? They haven't and they won't as long as the dollar takes presidence over human life. Because the damages from ultrasound, like vaccine, are not always visible or apparent until many years later-this unequivocally works to the medical society's benefit. Keep in mind, any side effects later will also equal to money in their pockets later; cancer, fertility drugs, surgeries, etc...so it is a win win situation for them and a lose lose situation for us the ignorant American civilians.

Now without repeating all of the information in my book (read it!) I will write a condensed list of the side effects of ultrasound:

1. Destruction of the female unborn child's ovum

2. Destruction of the male unborn child's testes

-Leaving both children later either sterile or fertility compromised.

3. Tone deafness, inability to recognize certain sounds

4. Hearing loss and brain damage-from the heat and cochlea shattering decibels.

- Add that combo to the ever popular scar producing ear tubes, and you have a significant amount of hearing loss

5. Sex scrambling and gender crossing if ultrasound is performed within the first 6 weeks

-Add that to all of the hormone scrambling pesticides, soy and chemicals in our diet which contribute strongly to gender confusion and or hypo-spadia, a common yet societally hidden disorder-and there could be life long gender consequences, I won't use the word here that I want to.

So, this is just a small list, there is new research coming forward everyday, however taking ultrasound away from these Obstetricians and new parents is like cutting off their hands and taking out their eyes. For me, with my two home births (not my first child) I had no ultrasound, but remained confident in my ability to birth a healthy child and also in my midwife who was able to feel the baby better then any ultrasound could produce pictures. My advice, as always, is to find the power and strength within yourself and take the power back from the medical society-who has made us believe we are nothing without them...

No one knows their baby or body more than the Mother....

The Cause of Disease, Healing the Chronic, and Finding Health

By Aurore Adamkiewicz, ND

The cause of disease in naturopathic philosophy can be explained by dividing disease into two groups; acute and chronic. Dr. Henry Lindlahr's book "Philosophy of Natural Therapeutics" states that both acute and chronic disease have "bacteria" in common, however, it is the individual's "fertile soil" which allows bacteria to proliferate and disease and poisons to accumulate. What is fertile soil? It is the debilitating and empty diet of the western populace that has plagued generation after generation and continually gets worse. 100 years ago, in Dr. Lindlahr's time, diet was a major aspect of disease as it was considered a technological advance to boil milk, buy flour already milled, and eat large amounts of meat with cooked vegetables. These actions saved time but also destroyed enzymes, vitamins, and the life giving energy of the food itself. All of the so-called dietetic advances of that time gave way to debilitating diseases of our great grandparents, dental carries, and laid "unfertile soil" for future generations, constitutionally.

Moving forward into the later half of the 20th century, the same diet exists and is now considered "normal" and acceptable, even by the more naturopathically and healthy inclined. However the 20th century diet has added some of the most lethal and DNA damaging poisons into the equation. Food coloring, food preservatives, large amounts of depleted white, sugar, flour and salt, non-hydrogenated oils, and the hormone scrambling grain nouveau the soybean. It is also important to mention the time bombs of irradiation, genetic modification, and pesticidation which are dangerous trends in agricultural proliferation.

When looking at the modern human as being both a fertile soil for disease and an infertile soil for health one must keep in mind also the immediate and long term effects of the environment. This is an example of how the macrocosm of the universe effects the microcosm of the human organism. Outdoor pollution such as radiation from nuclear reactors and indoor pollution in the form of plastics, fluorescent bulbs and "cleaning" products are new disease causers that were not even available in the already sick and malnourished man of the early 1900s.

Some products that directly effect the United States populace and yet has been banned in other parts of the world are as I have previously mentioned, fluorescent bulbs, scotch guard fabric protector, flame retardants (notoriously sprayed on children's pajama's and furniture), water fluoridation, and many pesticides. Most recently, it was scientifically proven that pesticides, fertilizers and fungicides depleted a large amount of the American amphibian and bee populations. To this the government scientists tell us, not to worry, it still can not affect the "human."

And so, with this information, we lay the backdrop for acute, chronic and the millennially evolved and modern auto-immune disorder. The question is now posed as to why so many acute diseases eventually give way to chronic. The answer lies within the simplicity of the inflammatory response. Dr. Henry Lindlahr stated in the above mentioned book that acute disease is the result of the purifying efforts of nature and that it runs its course based on the five stages of inflammation on page 9. The five stages of inflammation are incubation, aggravation, destruction, abatement, and reconstruction. Because of modern day's reliance of anti-inflammatories such as NSAIDs, vaccines, antiseptics and anti-biotics to inhibit and/or control the immune response many acute conditions have become chronic.

Chronic disease is manifested through debilitated and weakened organs and genetic constitution. It is much harder to heal than the acute and this is the sole reason why it is urgent for modern man to change his immuno-suppressive ways. The constant thwarting of the natural and necessary healing response in the human body has generationally effected the population and has partially if not completely suppressed immune function.

Allopathic medicine has pleased the masses by giving them the wolf in sheep’s clothing, the immediate aesthetic benefits of health by suppressing fever and chasing germs and symptoms for a comfortable and easy “appearance” of health. However, the long term and harmful chronic effects far outweigh the immediate benefits of “fake” health. One can only look to a family member or neighbor to see the modern plagues of our time such as diabetes, MS, lupus, cancer. Not to mention the constitutionally weakened new generation of children who are afflicted on a large degree by poor dentition (cavities), poor eyesight, and ear infections. The chronic childhood disorders such as autism and arthritis are more prevalent everyday. We as an adult society are clearly too comfortable with disease but is that belief good and beneficial for our children and for the future of mankind?

Naturopathy works…..

Naturopathic living works because it pleases the body and mind by bringing man back to nature and back to its core. It guides people towards healthy living by teaching others what they already know, what comes natural to them. By honoring the human body simple and effective natural means the person is empowered to heal themselves and treat illness not as a faceless monster but as a catalyst to a stronger and more fulfilling existence. Besides the long term disease preventative benefits, it also positively effects the future by blessing our offspring with knowledge and wisdom and not fear and disability. In this way, one can support the human body and mind by finally believing in its power rather than constantly trying to disprove it.

The story of the Pottinger cat experiment in Appendix VI of Lindlahr’s book shows that it takes only a few generations of unhealthy living and eating to weaken an organism but many generations to build it back up to thriving sufficiency. Furthermore, the food experiment where animals fed white flour and white sugar died sooner than animals fed nothing was to me, shocking and sobering. However, this should not discourage us but inspire us to the urgency and dire need to lead a healthier life and make better choices for us and our families. Is it self-hate which causes us to continue on in a disease positive direction? If so, let us think about our children and how much we love them and how they deserve a better future and reality than us, after all if we cannot do it ourselves,

Than how can they?

Fighting Consumerism and Materialism: A Lifelong Journey of Consciousness or Unconsciousness, Longing or Fulfillment

By Aurore Adamkiewicz ND

"What is the most difficult of all to do? What also seems the easiest: To see with your eyes what lies before your eyes" Goethe (from Reich's Selected Writings)

"Love, work, and knowledge are the well-springs of our life. They should also govern it." Wilhem Reich

I am still working on the Intro and the foreword of Wilhelm Reich's Selected Writings though my class has moved on to Chapter 2. The forewordw is such a personal cry from Reich it really pulls at my heart strings especially as he relates to the infants and children. How he lived and worked in defense and help of the children- the future of tomorrow, or as the title of his other book "Children of the Future"

Education, Work, and Depression

I am at the present very interested in the educational aspects of this two chapters as it relates to children educationally which directly correlates to adults who work.
Gleaning on these words from the foreword:
"...The tendency of man, born from fear-to get along at any price..."
This really resonates with me as a homeschooler and this is the
main problem I have with early schooling-specifically before the age
of 7-9. I see children being broken down in the system-not being
listened to, told they are a tattle tale if they try to get help,
forced to fight battles that they are unequipped emotionally and
physically to fight, ignored and abandoned in large classrooms and more specifically forming little emotional plague gangs with their other abandoned peers.
The childhood gangs may have been fine in Malinowski's Trobriand Islanders world
without shame and child abuse before the patriarchal regime, but in the West here-I find that children have had their childhood taken from them by the adults and machines and will use free time away from the adults to take their anger and pent up emotions out on eachother...and so as conscious parents who actively love our children protecting our children's mental health from the mental illness of others is a constant pressing issue.
Solving the Problem of Consumerism and Emptiness; Which Can Lead to Depression Part of the problem of adult and adolescent depression can be solved or should I say could have been solved with a contactful childhood within the family unit and a more desirable and fulfilling educational model. Not based on paying the children for good grades but on direct contact with the natural world.I was surprised in the Intro of the Selected Writings that Reich quoted Goethe who
was a mystic-but for me, it was appreciative because I have long found
correlations between Reich's work and Steiner-educationally, and
although many would probably disagree because Reich followed
democratric schooling in favor of Summerhill, Steiner's work is based
on Goethe's science of the natural world-
and in this way I see it parallel Reich's work when Reich writes:
"Our world would look better if the consumers of work knew more about
the process of work and the life of working people, if they did not
pluck so carelessly [unconsciously] at the fruits of others labor."
This is the essence of Steiner's educational model- giving children an
understanding of the natural world and how to pull creatively and
learn from it...
For instance- children in first grade watch a sheep wool shorn and
then they feel the wool and then they learn how to knit-with only real
100% wool. ..
and so when we are talking about consumerism-materialism,
Reich really is spot on when he uses the example of humans
driving in cars without having any idea of how it works or who made it in the intro
and in that way Steiner's educational models gives us the tools to
fight consumerism and to be more conscious of longing as adults by
having the natural world of real organic/energetic "things" to touch
and feel and create with...
Of course I would say this is secondary to the contact with the Mother
and the family unit.....
Every adult is a reflection of the pain or joy of childhood....
