"Zambia zeroes in on new banknotes" by René Vollgraaff, 2012-11-25 16:15:00 WHILE South Africans get used to the new banknote series, with the Big Five moved to the back of the notes, Zambia is preparing to remove three zeros from its money. The Bank of Zambia has announced that the kwacha will be rebased by dividing it by 1,000, dropping three zeros off the currency, on January 1. * This article was first published in Sunday Times: Business Times http://www.bdlive.co.za/world/africa...-new-banknotes

Zambian Kwacha Best Performer as Central Bank Supports Currency - 12/24/12 Zambia’s kwacha strengthened the most in more than a year as the central bank was said to support the currency of Africa’s biggest copper producer. The kwacha appreciated 3.8 percent, the most since September 2011, to 4,930 a dollar as of 3:57 p.m. in Lusaka, the capital. That’s the best performance among all currencies tracked by Bloomberg. The currency has advanced 6.3 percent in the past three days. The Bank of Zambia last week reduced the amount of foreign currencies local banks are allowed to hold. The government also wants to STRENGTHEN THE KWACHA in the run-up to the Jan. 1 rebasing exercise, which removes three zeros from the currency, Joseph Lungu, a Lusaka-based analyst with Intermarket Securities Ltd., said by phone. http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2012-1...-currency.html


Rebasing exercise will be smooth – ZACCI 12/26/12 THE Zambia Association of Chambers of Commerce and Industry (ZACCI) is confident that the Zambian economy will be able to grasp the Kwacha rebasing exercise positively effective January 1, 2013. We believe it is now on top of everyone’s agenda to ensure that they join the transition to run from January 1 to June 30, 2013,” he said. http://www.times.co.zm/?p=24218


(Times of Zambia) LuSE closes trading 12/25/12 THE Lusaka Stock Exchange (LuSE) has closed trading to allow implementation of the rebasing exercise effective January 1, 2013. According to a statement posted by Inter Market Securities Investment analyst Joseph Lungu, the last day of trading on LuSE was Friday December 21, 2012. From December 24, 2012 to January 1, 2013 the MARKET WILL REMAIN CLOSED and only open on January 2, 2013...This is to facilitate for the rebasing which is effective January 1, 2013″, Mr Lungu said. http://www.times.co.zm/?p=24130

Egypt Adopts New Foreign-Currency System December 29, 2012, 11:56 a.m. ET
CAIRO—Egypt will begin a new system for buying and selling foreign currency, the country's central bank said Saturday night, as financial policy makers struggle to plug fast-depleting foreign-exchange reserves.
Egypt's holdings of foreign cash have dropped by more than $20 billion since a revolution early last year ousted the president and ushered in two years of political chaos.
Reserves fell to $15.04 billion at the end of November, only slightly above the three months of import cover that the International Monetary Fund recommends as a minimum foreign-currency cushion.
"The current level of foreign-currency reserves represents the minimum and critical limit," said a statement from the central bank disclosing the new auction system.
In the brief email to reporters, the central bank said the new foreign-exchange system would take effect Sunday. It didn't say how the new system would work.
The statement said the new system will allow the bank to channel currency toward critical applications such as safeguarding "Egypt's reputation in international financial markets and to cover imports of strategic commodities."
However, the central bank was cautious to note that the new system "will not affect the dollar on the interbank system, but will complement and support it."
Egypt's flat-lining economy stormed to the center of public concern once again this week. Rumors of a long-awaited currency devaluation sent bank customers rushing to transfer their Egyptian pounds into U.S. dollars, adding further stress to the country's already-beleaguered banks.
The downward pressure pushed the Egyptian pound to a new low, reaching 6.19 to the U.S. dollar, the weakest level since December 2004.
Meanwhile, ratings company Standard & Poor's Corp. docked Egypt's sovereign investment grade to "B-" from "B" on Monday, citing continued political strife.
In what appeared to be an effort to calm mounting fears of economic collapse, Egypt President Mohammed Morsi addressed the country's upper house of parliament Saturday.
Mr. Morsi blamed the continuing instability on his opponents and said that, despite the gloom surrounding Egypt's economy, foreign-exchange revenue from tourism and the Suez Canal had risen. http://online.wsj.com/article/SB1000...googlenews_wsj

Egypt's leader sees currency stabilizing "within days" CAIRO | Mon Dec 31, 2012 8:55am EST (Reuters) - Egypt's pound fell to a record low on Monday as the president signaled his government would allow it to depreciate slowly for several more days to stop a drain on foreign reserves that has driven the economy into crisis since the fall of Hosni Mubarak. ....

Basel III: Gold's Status as Tier 1 Asset Restored + Bank of Japan Monetary Policy, Competitive QE 11/08/12 Niela Cambone interviews Patricia Mohr, V.P. and creator of Scotibank's Commidity Price Index, talks Bank of Japan, Basel III (at approx 4 min says Niela says "you mentioned something we should be paying attention to is Basel III regulations kicking in Jan (2013) and asks, how might that impact the yellow metal? Mohr says, that's quite interesting as gold is going to regain it's full status as a financial asset. Banks will be able to hold gold as tier 1 capitol and very interesting development for gold. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xHL1rkXyDpE

Chinese Gold to Double in Value With Basel III 6/9/12 A simple way to prop up the banks and reduce risk in the global economy would be for Basel III to revalue gold to tier-1. The new rules are expected to be announced in January 2013. Until then, look for the Chinese to support the market and the constant stream of macro catastrophes to push up the price of precious metals. http://cmt-group.com/chinese-gold-go...ith-basel-iii/
Big Changes Ahead: Gold Just Became Money Again 8/17/12 On June 18, the Federal Reserve and FDIC circulated a letter to banks that proposes to harmonize US regulatory capital rules with Basel III. BASEL III is an accord that tells a bank how much capital it must hold to safeguard its solvency and overall economic stability. It's a global standard on bank capital adequacy, stress testing, and market liquidity risk. Here's the important bit: At the top of the proposed changes is the new list of "zero-percent risk weighted items," which now includes "gold bullion," right after "cash." http://news.goldseek.com/GoldSeek/1345229824.php


These don't indicate a time frame, but "who knows" also Zimbabwee article is from 2011, but note - they claim to be sitting on trillions in gold reserves!....hummm


Zimbabwe to Consider Gold-Backed Dollar, States "US Dollar’s Days Are Numbered" May 15, 2011 By The Doc
Will Zimbabwe be the first country to lose the chains of fiat currency? Zimbabwe’s central bank head Gideon Gono today called for the country to “urgently” consider adopting a gold-backed Zimbabwean dollar and dropping the country’s use of the US dollar. While Russia, China, and the Arab nations have all been speculated as the first nation to remove themselves from the US dollar ponzi- could Zimbabwe, a country with VERY recent hyperinflation experience end up being the first nation to call the US dollar a duck? (If it walks like a duck, and talks like a duck….) http://www.silverdoctors.com/zimbabw...-are-numbered/

(Article referenced from Silverdoctors - New ZimbabweeTHE central bank says the country must consider adopting a gold-backed Zimbabwean dollar warning that the US greenback’s days as the world’s reserve currency are numbered.
Government ditched the Zimbabwe dollar in 2009 after it had been rendered worthless by record inflation levels and adopted multiple foreign currencies with the US dollar, the South African Rand and the Botswana being the most widely used.
Finance minister Tendai Biti says the country needs at least six months import cover and a sustainable track-record of economic growth, inflation stability and above 60 percent capacity utilisation in industry before the Zim dollar can be brought back into circulation.
However central bank chief, Dr Gideon Gono said the country should consider adopting a gold-backed currency.
“There is a need for us to begin thinking seriously and urgently about introducing a Gold-backed Zimbabwe currency which will not only stable but internationally acceptable,” he said in an interview with state media.
“We need to re-think our gold-mining strategy, our gold-liberalisation and marketing strategies as a country. The world needs to and will most certainly move to a gold standard and Zimbabwe must lead the way.”
Gono said the inflationary effects of United States’ deficit financing of its budget was likely to impact other countries to leading to a resistance of the green back as a base currency.
“The events of the 2008 Global Financial Crisis demand a new approach to self reliance and a stable mineral-backed currency and to me, Gold has proven over the years that it is a stable and most desired precious metal,” Gono said.
“Zimbabwe is sitting on trillions worth of gold-reserves and it is time we start thinking outside the box, for our survival and prosperity.”

Diplomat inadvertently reveals China amassing gold to shore up the yuan: Leeb Marc Howe | December 20, 2012
Veteran investor and commodities expert Stephen Leeb claims a Chinese diplomat inadvertently admitted to him that the Middle Kingdom is amassing large amounts of gold bullion for the specific purpose of backing the yuan.
In an interview with King World News Leeb says the Chinese are well aware of the ramifications of a protracted and profligate money printing by Western central banks, and as a consequence they are "hoarding…critical resources."
Leeb's assertion is underscored by a recent encounter with a Chinese diplomat, during which Leeb says the visiting delegate made an inadvertent admission of China's intentions vis-a-vis gold: was just speaking to a Chinese diplomat and I said to their diplomat, ‘Your two most important commodities are water and gold.’ And this diplomat said to me, ‘Yes, we need gold to back up the yuan.’ Well this diplomat realized very quickly they had made a terrible mistake in admitting that and began to back off and stated, ‘No, it’s not to back the yuan. It’s because of jewelry.’ But it was too late, the horse had left the barn so-to-speak.
According to Leeb the Chinese have already embarked upon a resource war in a bid to establish themselves as a powerhouse global economy, with gold bullion playing a pivotal role in their acquisition strategy. http://www.mining.com/diplomat-says-...an-leeb-36464/

USSR to rise from ashes through joint Eurasian currency Posted by EU Times on Nov 20th, 2012
The creation of the supranational currency within the scope of the Customs Union is inevitable, Prime Minister of Armenia, Tigran Sargsyan, believes. According to him, this should be the next stage of integration within the organization, which makes sense from the point of view of simplification of currency circulation in transfers. The new currency may see the light on January 1, 2015... “Either way, it is believed that the new currency will appear on 1 January 2015, although possibly earlier. Political sovereignty can hardly be questioned. It is unlikely that it will be the Russian ruble. Most likely, it will be a new Eurasian currency, and, consequently, we will have a new Eurasian Central Bank. Of course, it will be a local currency, because the size of combined economies is still a lot smaller than the economy of the United States, China, or the European Union. However, it will really mark the actual denunciation of Belovezha Accords and restoration of the Soviet Union, albeit in a new version 2.0 and on absolutely new market and capitalist principles,” the expert concluded.

THE BIBLE SAID, "PHYSICIAN, HEAL THYSELF" FROM ERASMUS OF AMERICA - JANUARY 2, 2013 3:00 PM


     '. BLESS THE LORD, O MY SOUL, AND FORGET NOT ALL HIS BENEFITS:  WHO FORGIVETH ALL THINE INIQUITIES; WHO HEALETH ALL THY DISEASES;" - PSALM 103:2-3
     
     "IF YOU WANT GOOD HEALTH, WORK WITH GOD, NOT AGAINST GOD!" - FATHER OF ERASMUS OF AMERICA. FATHER WAS A BRILLIANT HEALTH RESEARCHER AND INVENTED THE FOOD PROCESS THE VATICAN ENDORSED AS POTENTIALLY THE GREATEST NEWS FOR MANKIND SINCE THE COMING OF CHRIST SINCE IT COULD POTENTIALLY SOLVE THE TWIN PROBLEMS OF STARVATION AND MALNUTRITION IN THE WORLD.

     My father used to also tell me that diseases were caused by malnutrition. Give the body what it needed in nutrition and it should normally be able to heal itself as God designed the body to do. Along the lines of my father's research I found what I consider to be the most effective form of vitamins and minerals I have seen in America prior to releasing my father's super health bread which should fulfill the promise of Exodus 23:25 that God would bless the bread and water of those who followed God on this earth and drive the sickness away from them. As for the water, I have the water that is probably good enough for your health to be acceptable in the original Garden of Eden for health of Adam and Eve when there. When I have the means, I will release this super health water with the life force to it for those who want it. We tested it years ago and it was amazing in health results as well as water tasting better than any water I had ever had before on this earth. Even my own father had not known about this super health water I found having studied engineering with an engineering school years ago. 
     Many of you may be familiar with Lorraine Day. M.D. who has appeared on Christian TV over the years. She healed herself of cancer by God-given natural means and has quite a prominent medical background. She wrote a large report on "What Does The Bible Say About Doctors? Are They A Gift From God?" She uses the Bible to show that what we call the drug industry the Bible called pharmakos in the Bible. That means sorceries and witchcraft and poisoners in the Bible as she points out. I heard Dr. Jack Van Impe years ago preach that in the Bible the Greek word used as meaning drugs also meant this was witchcraft (a system of control over you) and sorcery. She says that the Bible has the health answers for all our diseases in society today. She gives some powerful health answers from the Bible to illustrate her stand. Having studied engineering years ago, I have this concept of "Doctor Body" invented by the infinite genius of God. We give it the God-given natural ingredients God gave us for healing and good health, and it can take care of diseases as God designed it to. We give it man invented ingredients and then we are in trouble as we are not smart enough to create substitute answers for good health not supplied by God first. Also, as Dr. Lorraine Day points out, if we are spiritually right with God, it is only a question of time until our health improves as God blesses us with the answers and blessings we need for good health on earth. 
     By the way backing up Dr. Lorraine Day, my father's great food discovery is in Bible Code in the Old Testament but even the engineers can't spot it since they are looking with the wisdom of man instead of with the blessed wisdom from God for His loyal followers on earth! When the people turn to God, God blesses them!
     Until I can get my father's Vatican endorsed food product back into manufacture in America or else abroad, the best angle I can give you for your good health until then is to use the God-given natural ingredients of vitamins and minerals I have seen with one company. They did it right and I know what the smart angles are they used because I know health research myself in areas the corrupt wanted censored from you. I have it arranged that you can buy their product for the same price I can buy from them and I buy as a business from them. Use this website with the special referrer name of nifi to it and you buy it for the same price as I do. The website is www.jdimlm.com/nifi . From those not getting the correct nutrition from their food, I already hear testimonials of people who have overnight reported to me results in improved health that got them excited as they saw results so fast.I am already getting testimonials from people that this fast helped on prostrate problems, diabetic neuropathy, arthritis, blood pressure, blood sugar, improved eyesight,  and a long list of other health ailments helped fast according to their testimonials. And for those maybe not seeing instant results they get, better to prevent disease than to get it, better to live for extra years in good health rather than sickness and as a cripple, etc. in later life. If the nutrition is right we get regardless of source, even the standard medical field will this, this should be good for our health as a general principle regardless. However, no statements have been evaluated by the FDA. We just report testimonials as we see them from satisfied people.
      You find you like the results you got from this company, contact me at fastboomamericaneconomy@gmail.com and say "Add Me To Health List." I am lining up powerful health product answers from various sources who have impressed me, and can either retail to you or else wholesale to you if you want to set up your own health product business with my line of health products I am lining up now. And to keep the record straight, though I publicize some great health answers in my book about to be released "Our Early Roots Of Apostolic Christianity," the main purpose of the book is to show the early Christian answers from the first Christian writings what they considered to be true Apostolic Christianity as founded by Jesus Christ and His Apostles. I tackle the tough questions scholars from all sides evade all too often as they are afraid to not be "politically correct" as a Christian. Believe me modern society would like to crucify anyone getting too honest in major issues of society! As George Orwell of "1984 said, "In an age of mass deception, it is a revolutionary act to speak the truth!" And telling the truth either in health, in religion, etc. can be a very revolutionary act in our "politically correct' society of America today!
     One small appetizer from the book showing I go to the original Christian writings for the answers needed today. St. John Chrysostom, later Bishop of Constantinople, and the golden orator of Christianity then in the Roman Empire, in two sermons at Antioch in 386 A.D. preaching that early Christianity in the West had long taught that Jesus was born on Dec. 25. He tested out this position by taking the rotation of the Levite priests, Zechariah was responsible for the conception of John the Baptist on the Feast of Tabernacles. Then he traced six month later to when Jesus would be conceived and found that Jesus would be born at or around Dec. 25 which matched the Western tradition of Jesus being born on Dec. 25. Separately in his sermon in 386 A.D., the tax records at Rome had confirmed Dec. 25 as the recorded date of birth of Jesus Christ. With that, he pushed that Eastern Christianity establish now an official Feast of the Nativity of Jesus Christ on the date confirmed by the tax census records kept in the Imperial Tax Archives in Rome. I get to the prime historical documents as history fascinates me and always has! The truth will always be found there!
     I will mention that people wanting to carry health lines I am and will be carrying, contact me and I will see about lining up for you the really best God-given health  products available in America and get you into business for yourself if that is what you want to do. In case you don't know it, many of the later leading companies in America were started in hard economies such as we have now. I am only interested in health products that are God-given, not man-made! I admit that God has the answers we need in good health for ourselves, our families, and others! If this helps you, then tell your friends! Make this a crusade for good health in America. Then it is not so much of a business than a crusade able to finance itself and so grow rapidly to help the American people help themselves to good health and long life!
     I understand that Christians are supposed to help their fellow citizens in society, so use what is free information here for you! And show to your friends if you think they would be interested!
     Yours For God and Country, Erasmus of America (pen name for a strong researcher in national health products and issues!)

We're Up Against Ayn Rand's "Drooling Beast"







Can Illinois Ban Almost All Guns?!

“We're up against the "drooling beast" here, people, and either it will win, or we will win!”

Posted by Jane Galt on January 2, 2013 at 1:43pm


I thought they had already lost this kind of thing in the Supreme Court!
These TYRANTS should be run out of the legislature by the voters of their state!
Torches and pitchforks come to mind, when I hear this!
If they can get away with this, we have no more Constitution or nation!

And the Illinois organizations that are trying to use reason in this discussion, are trying to reason against drooling beast tyrants!



"Listen, what's the most horrible experience you can imagine? To me - it's being left, unarmed, in a sealed cell with a drooling beast of prey or a maniac who's had some disease that's eaten his brain out. You'd have nothing then but your voice - your voice and your thought. You'd scream to that creature why it should not touch you, you'd have the most eloquent words, the unanswerable words, you'd become the vessel of the absolute truth. And you'd see living eyes watching you and you'd know that the thing can't hear you, that it can't be reached, not reached, not in any way, yet it's breathing and moving there before you with a purpose of its own. That's horror. Well, that's what's hanging over the world, prowling somewhere through mankind, that same thing, something closed, mindless, utterly wanton, but something with an aim and a cunning of its own." -- Steven Mallory, The Fountainhead, by Ayn Rand
The "drooling beast" she spoke about is out-of-control forced-collectivism, or what we know as Socialism. Pure mob rule democracy with no constitutional limitations!
If this thing passes and they actually do this, then Illinois should be quarantined and avoided by anyone who still believes in our Constitution and Bill of Rights, that they still and actually mean what they say! Anyone like that should leave the state and let it fall into ruin, like the other places that have been rotted by Socialism. For example, Chicago and Detroit!
The "militia" clause has already been settled by the Supreme Court, leaving only:
THE RIGHT OF THE PEOPLE TO KEEP AND BEAR ARMS, SHALL NOT BE INFRINGED!
If these people seriously believe that the founders only intended that to mean weapons of that time - the late 1700's - then they should be stripped of their computers and internet access, being those things weren't part of freedom of speech and the press back in the late 1700's! Their "free speech" should be limited to standing on street corners, and their "freedom of the press" should be limited to Franklin-style mechanical printing presses!
But again, this doesn't have anything to do with reason.
We're up against the "drooling beast" here, people, and either it will win, or we will!

1929 to 1953 about 20 million dissidents, unable to
defend themselves, were rounded up and exterminated.
            ------------------------------

to 1945, a total of 13 million Jews and others who were
unable to defend themselves were rounded up and
exterminated.
            ------------------------------
China established gun control in 1935. From 1948 to 1952,
20 million political dissidents, unable to defend themselves,
were rounded up and exterminated.

You won't see this data on the US evening news, or hear
politicians disseminating this information.

Guns in the hands of honest citizens save lives and
property and, yes, gun-control laws adversely affect only t
he law-abiding citizens.

Take note my fellow Americans, before it's too late!

The next time someone talks in favor of gun control,
please remind them of this history lesson.

With guns, we are 'citizens'. Without them, we are 'subjects'.

During WW II the Japanese decided not to invade America
because they knew most Americans were ARMED!


If you value your freedom, please spread this anti gun-
control message to all of your friends.


The purpose of fighting is to win.
There is no possible victory in defense.
The sword is more important than the shield, and skill is
more important than either.
The final weapon is the brain.
All else is supplemental.

SWITZERLAND ISSUES EVERY HOUSEHOLD A GUN!
SWITZERLAND 'S GOVERNMENT TRAINS EVERY
ADULT THEY ISSUE A RIFLE.
SWITZERLAND HAS THE LOWEST GUN RELATED
CRIME RATE OF ANY CIVILIZED COUNTRY IN THE
WORLD!!!


IT'S A NO BRAINER!
           
DON'T LET OUR GOVERNMENT WASTE MILLIONS OF

Simple Oregano Keeps Chickens Disease Free

Tafline Laylin | | Comment | Email this
Za'atar, superbug, antibiotics, oregano, oregano oil, natural health remedies, livestock, poultryIt’s za’atar season in the Middle East and though we don’t really need it, there’s another reason to love this versatile spice: it could be useful as an alternative to antibiotics. Both a perennial herb and a spice mixed with other ingredients, za’atar livens up a host of dishes throughout the Gulf, Levant and Mediterranean.
Now a small handful of farmers in the United States are feeding their poultry and livestock an oregano oil mixture in lieu of increasingly ineffective antibiotics, The New York Times reports. And they insist it keeps the animals disease free. Though the numbers are compelling, scientists caution there is insufficient data to substantiate their claims. 
In corporations we foolishly trust
Long before pharmaceutical companies got their start, human beings relied on the fruits of nature to stay healthy. We used to know the properties of every shrub and berry in the woods, we knew what to eat and what to leave, and we passed on what we knew to our communities.
But then we stopped trusting anything that isn’t backed by an arsenal of scientists and convinced ourselves that corporations would put our health before their capital gain.
Certainly mortality rates are typically lower now than they were in centuries past, but we’re beginning to understand that perhaps our ancestors, who treated a host of medical conditions without laboratories stocked with beakers and test tubes, might have been on to something.
The recent rise of superbugs resistant to antibiotics is beginning to worry both scientists and farmers, who are now reverting to natural remedies like By-O-Reg to raise healthy animals.
Comprised of oregano oil and a touch of cinnamon, this concoction is used to feed the chickens at Bell & Evans near Harrisburg. For the last three years, owner Scott Sechler has substituted antibiotics with this Dutch-made product renowned for its antiseptic qualities, and claims to be raking in the dough as a result of supplying a revived consumer demand for healthy, pure food.
“I have worried a bit about how I’m going to sound talking about this,” Sechler told the NYT. “But I really do think we’re on to something here.”
The science of the matter
While Scott Gavura, a pharmacist in Toronto who writes for the Web site Science-Based Medicine, refutes these claims for their lack of scientific basis, other research combined with empirical evidence seems to back them up.
In 2000 scientists reported that a handful of human beings who tested positive for enteric parasites were cured with a six week long treatment that consisted of regular doses of oregano oil.
The European Union has banned the use of antibiotics used as a catalyst for faster growth and are considering banning their use for medical applications as well.
And the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recently issued a joint statement with various advocacy groups that recommends “limiting the use of medically important human antibiotics in food animals” and “supporting the use of such antibiotics in animals only for those uses that are considered necessary for assuring animal health,” the New York Times reports.
Of course oregano oil is no miracle cure since its medicinal application is most effective when combined with good hygiene and nutrition. But here’s our take home message: go forth, eat za’atar and be healthy.

My Shocking Interview With Cancer Patient

My Shocking Interview With Cancer Patient

I recently interviewed a young lady (Cindy) who had been treated for cancer.
Thankfully she's doing well and all her tests over the last 9 months report her to be cancer-free.
So I took the opportunity to ask some probing questions about her diagnosis and treatment. And her answers shocked me.
Here's why:
Question #1
"What were you told about the cancer and how/why it may have started?"

Cindy's response: "I was told it was 'just one of those things' and it 'just happened.'  I guess I'm one of the unlucky ones."
My comments:
I explained to Cindy that "luck" has nothing to do with it and it's NOT "just one of those things." Instead cancer typically forms under some VERY specific conditions.

I told her cancer starts when the DNA in one of your cells becomes damaged.
If it's not stopped, the damaged cell begins to replicate itself WAAAY too fast until it forms a tumor. At the same time, your natural cell death rate slows down, which sets the stage for the tumor to get bigger...FAST.
It can eventually start to invade surrounding tissues and then move on to other areas (metastasize).
But NONE of this can happen unless these two conditions are present:
1- You have a toxic, acidic body where cancer can thrive and
2- You have a weak immune system

Cindy was shocked -- no one had explained any of this to her.
 

Question #2
"What dietary advice were you given during and after your chemotherapy and surgery?"

Cindy's response: "None really. The only time diet came up was during chemo. My doctors told me to eat pizza because my immune system was weak and they felt that pizza was a 'safe' food because it's cooked at a high temperature."
My comments:
There is so much wrong with that statement, I almost don't know where to begin.

First and foremost, pizza is a hefty dose of refined carbs, which basically turn to sugar in your body, which cancer just loves. And it feeds the harmful bacteria in your gut. That makes your immune system even WEAKER!
Secondly, pizza is a difficult food for your body to digest. A lot of acid waste can be created in the process, and unless you balance it out with enough alkaline foods, the acid wastes can build up in your body and keep you a perfect home for cancer.
And the remark about pizza being "safe" because it's cooked on high heat? That is unbelievable!
Even if the high temperatures did kill "germs" or whatever may have been on the raw pizza, what about the all the possible "germs" from people it passes through who cut it, boxed it, delivered it and served it?
But the saddest thing of all here is that Cindy's body, more than ANY other time in her life, needed good nutrients from real foods to fight this deadly disease.
Yet she was told to eat pizza by a "prestigious" cancer treatment institute.
 

Question #3
"What was suggested to you about building your immune system back up during and after chemotherapy?"
Cindy's response: "Well, I had to be really careful not to get sick. Anytime I felt a cold coming on or whatever, I was rushed to the ER and given antibiotics."
My comments:
Well, that's the icing on the cake.

A strong immune system is vital in order to defeat cancer and to come back from the devastation of chemotherapy. And the strength of the immune system is completely dependent on having a healthy population of beneficial bacteria in your gut (where 70% of the immune system happens to reside).
In order to make sure you have enough of the "good guys" it's important to eat nutritious foods to nourish your friendly flora and to supplement with probiotics.
Cindy's doctors never even mentioned probiotics! And we know that she wasn't told to eat good foods.
Regarding the antibiotics--while antibiotics may kill an infection, they also destroy beneficial bacteria, so your immune system continues to be compromised. Antibiotics make it weaker, in fact.
So that made Cindy even MORE susceptible to catching something else.
 

Cindy's eyes were as big as saucers at this point, so here is the "rest of the story" I told her about fighting and preventing cancer:
Are you a good home or not?
Mountains of studies have shown that cancer must have an acidic, toxic environment in order to thrive.
And on the flip side, it FAILS TO SURVIVE in a clean, alkaline environment.
Although there are many factors that can make your body acidic (like smoking, environmental toxins, stress and medications) number one is your diet--specifically, eating mainly foods (like pizza!) that create acid wastes in excess of what your body can eliminate.
 

The immune system's role
When the DNA in one of your cells becomes damaged as described above and cancer cells begin to multiply, it's not like your body immediately waves the white flag of defeat and you become a statistic.
On the contrary, you have an internal army of very sophisticated cancer protection--your immune system.
You see, in a healthy body, your immune cells detect and engulf cancer cells (plus other dangerous toxins and microbes) and destroy them.
This process is happening all the time inside of you.
But if you have a weak immune system, not only are you lacking this vital cancer protection, but you're also susceptible to every bug and virus around!
 

Now for the REAL advice
Having a clean, alkaline body and a strong immune system are THE most important things you can do to help fight and prevent cancer.
Here are two very effective measures you can take to achieve this goal:
 

1) Nourish your body & keep it clean on the inside
The National Cancer Institute and the American Cancer Society estimate that at least 30-35% of all cancers are related to a poor diet!
Here's why a good diet has such a profound effect on cancer prevention and treatment:
First of all, easy to digest alkaline foods (like fruits and vegetables) can help eliminate built-up toxic wastes in your body.
So the more of those you eat, the less attractive of a home you are to cancer, making it more difficult for cancer to thrive!
The nutrients in your foods play a big part...
Antioxidant vitamins (like Vitamin C and E) and minerals (like selenium) can actually help PREVENT and repair DNA damage so it never gets a chance to develop into a tumor!
Plus, Vitamins A, D and folate all encourage proper cell differentiation and growth.
And many phytochemicals found in fruits and vegetables have been shown to have anti-carcinogenic properties and are potent antioxidants as well.
The great news is, having this ever-important healthy diet is not only easy, but it's tasty, too.
The Great Taste No Pain health system is your ticket for enjoying delicious, good-for-you foods.
Great Taste No Pain shows you how to create healthful, nutritious meals (featuring many of the anti-cancer nutrients mentioned above) that are not only rich and tasty (truly), but are also easy to digest.
When your digestion is accomplished thoroughly, not only will you be helping to eliminate toxic waste build-up, but you'll also help maximize your body's absorption of cancer-fighting nutrients from your foods.
 

2) Beef up that immune system
A strong immune system is absolutely vital in the fight against cancer.
In addition to a healthy diet which feeds your friendly flora, probiotic supplementation can help you achieve this important, possibly life-saving goal.
Super Shield's 13 strains of potent friendly bacteria are up to the task, ready to line your intestinal walls, help keep your digestion smooth and be on the lookout for "suspicious" cells with damaged DNA.

Prevention is possible and where it's at
In spite of all the latest and greatest detection techniques and advances in surgical procedures, cancer continues to be a major killer, second only to heart disease.
Prevention is where it's at, my friend.
When you help PREVENT cancer from thriving in you to begin with, you are taking the most significant step toward a long, disease-free life and feeling energetic and alive while others around you are dragging and dropping.
Do it now.
You couldn't start out this New Year in any better way.
To your health,
Sherry Brescia

Hi Sherry,
I just watched a story on the 700 Club about how the food we eat can either encourage cancer to grow, or by avoiding certain foods we can help kill it.
You have been talking about this for years!
Plus all your information about all the other diseases that food contributes to.
You could probably watch the program yourself on CBN news. Would love to see you on this show also, with ALL the information and research that you have collected over the years.
Your Great Taste No Pain has changed my life from one of horrible discomfort and sleepless nights to living a normal life...and even enjoying going out for a special dinner.
Now that I know how to combine my foods for good digestion, I feel safe and secure.
God bless you and your staff for being so quick to keep us informed!
Blessings,
Connie

Re: Anti-government freemen movement creating ....
This article is full of misconceptions and really poor reporting.
<<< An anti-government movement known as Freeman on the Land has become a “major policing problem” in several provinces, according to a threat assessment by Canada’s spy officials. >>>

We are not advocating anti- government anything. We advocate responsible and accountable government. We all realize that there must be trustees to care for certain aspects of community living and support fully those that chose to serve with truth, honesty, honor and love. We have come to learn that no-one MUST be represented, and therefore chose to present ourselves, living flesh, sons (generic) of God and the original creditors. Of course the folks that profit from subversion and lies don't like this much.
<<>>
I have served the WFS for over 3 years as Chief Administrative Officer for Canada chapter and have followed our members closely for some time. To my knowledge, there are NO far right racists in our membership. Our members recognize the oneness of life and know to treat others with honor and fairness, regardless of their roots. We do have a public forum where some issues such as these are brought forth, but they are brought forth by the public, not typically our members. As mentioned above, we advocate truth and honor. If that makes us domestic extremists, then domestic extremists are sorely needed to counterbalance the "good citizen Representative" that bases their public dealings on lies and deception.
<<< Its adherents fall on both the left and right wings of the political spectrum, but “at the core” of the movement is the belief that “government operates outside of its legal jurisdiction and therefore Freeman members do not recognize the authority of national, provincial, or municipal laws, policies or regulations,” says the report, titled Canada: Biannual Update on Terrorist and Extremist†Threats, which was prepared in April and released under federal access-to-information laws >>>
This is fundamentally correct, however it is far from complete. The Government's own websites and information states quite clearly that the Government of Canada is simply de-facto in origin. They, themselves state that they are an unlawful government. Add tot hat the fact that Queen Victoria, prior to her death signed a declaration removing ALL British claim to Canada... A fact that has very far reaching ramifications.
<<< “Freeman members now constitute a major policing problem in several provinces and have occasionally engaged in acts of violence against the police,” the report states. >>>
Yes we can be a bit of a problem for Police, especially when they overstep their mandate, abandon their oath of Peace Officer and attempt to apply statute without securing jurisdiction first. As for getting violent? We WILL NOT instigate violence, but I cannot say that some of our members will not answer violence with violence against policy enforcement that that fails in it's duty to due diligence and honor. A note to the LEO's out there... Honor your oath as Peace Officer and honor truth and justice overall and we will get along just fine... and your job will get a lot more rewarding as well.
That is a start to the misconceptions and lies in this article. There are far too much here to answer in this email. If any have any questions, seek out our public forum, come in and ask. Be aware that it is a public forum and you will get answers from all over the map. Best to ask the person if they are a member of the society or just the forum.
My thanks to all.
Namaste'
John.

Yep! The British Crown is becoming worried, the sheople are no longer willing to be herded.
There are only 25 million people in Canada and most Canadians have been disarmed. If they cannot control the movement in Canada, how then could they possibly control it in the United States

Anti-government freemen movement creating ‘major policing problem’: report
Douglas Quan, Postmedia News
Saturday, Dec. 29, 2012

Freeman Robert Menard holds the badge of a related group of self-proclaimed peace officers. worldfreemansociety.org
An anti-government movement known as Freeman on the Land has become a “major policing problem” in several provinces, according to a threat assessment by Canada’s spy officials.
The report by the Canadian Security Intelligence Service lists Freeman members among “domestic extremists” who associate with issue-based causes, such as environmentalism, anti-capitalism, anti-globalization and far-right racism.
Its adherents fall on both the left and right wings of the political spectrum, but “at the core” of the movement is the belief that “government operates outside of its legal jurisdiction and therefore Freeman members do not recognize the authority of national, provincial, or municipal laws, policies or regulations,” says the report, titled Canada: Biannual Update on Terrorist and Extremist†Threats, which was prepared in April and released under federal access-to-information laws.
“Freeman members now constitute a major policing problem in several provinces and have occasionally engaged in acts of violence against the police,” the report states.
In various videos posted online, supporters of the Freeman movement in Canada – including outspoken advocate Robert Menard – reject any association with violent extremism and insist they are “peaceful and loving.”
Law enforcement officials are not convinced.
A national RCMP spokeswoman said Friday that the force is working with the Canadian Association of Chiefs of Police to develop materials for front-line officers to increase their awareness and understanding of the Freeman movement and its followers.
“Individuals associated to this movement are a concern because some followers advocate violence to promote their views and this may involve violence toward police officers,” Sgt. Julie Gagnon said in an email. “There are officer safety concerns when dealing with followers of this movement during routine police interaction.”
Last month, the Anti-Defamation League published a report that described the so-called “sovereign citizen movement” as “one of the most problematic domestic extremist movements in the United States,” attracting mostly middle-aged or older men who are financially stressed, angry at government regulation or who want “something for nothing.”
A Freeman licence plate, which is put on their vehicles instead of a real, government-issued one. Facebook
The report cited the 2010 shooting deaths of two West Memphis, Ark., police officers during a traffic stop. The suspects, a father and son who were later killed in a shootout with police, belonged to the sovereign citizen movement.
Earlier this year, a Nova Scotia jury convicted a man of uttering a threat to kill police officers and for multiple firearms offences. Court records state that Daren McCormick, a Freeman on the Land follower, told an officer that he could outdraw police and that if a police cruiser ever pulled up in his yard, he’d kill the officers. When police moved to arrest him the following day, they found him with a loaded .44-calibre revolver in a holster strapped to his hip.
McCormick asserted that the doctrines of Freeman on the Land free him from the Criminal Code, including its gun laws, and that he was free to carry a gun even to go grocery shopping, according to the records. He also claimed his right to travel highways without a licence or registration.
Last year, RCMP officials in B.C. issued a bulletin to officers urging them to be cautious when dealing with suspected Freemen because of their belief in the right to use force in defence of their land, property and family.
The bulletin said some followers may refer to themselves using the phrase “of the family,” such as “John of the Family Smith,” or claim to be a “Son of God.”
They also may present to officers a document that they believe exempts them from the authority of the police and entitles them to charge fees if they are detained. “Subjects make continued use of nonsensical legal/quasi-legal jargon,” the bulletin said.
Some Canadian judges have expressed frustration with Freemen tying up the court system.
In September, John Rooke, associate chief justice of the Court of Queen’s Bench in Alberta, issued a scathing ruling against a self-described Freeman, Dennis Larry Meads, for holding up his divorce proceedings by making “bluntly idiotic” arguments.
At one point, court records state, after the judge informed Meads of the basics of family law proceedings, Meads replied that “there are rules above man’s rules, and God’s laws is where your laws originated from.”
The judge characterized the “gurus” behind the Freeman on the Land and similar movements as “nothing more than “con men,” who pitch distorted world views on followers through seminars, books, websites and DVDs.

A novel approach to the gun ownership issue...

·         Posted by Ron Canale on November 29, 2012 at 7:03pm

THIS M A Y M A KE YOUR D A Y!

Vermont State Rep. Fred Maslack has read the Second A mendment to the U.S. Constitution, as well as Vermont 's own Constitution very carefully, and his strict interpretation of these documents is popping some eyeballs in New England and elsewhere.
Maslack recently proposed a bill to register "non-gun-owners" and require them to pay a $500 fee to the state. Thus Vermont would become the first state to require a permit for the luxury of going about unarmed and assess a fee of $500 for the privilege of not owning a gun. 
Maslack read the "militia" phrase of the Second A mendment as not only the right of the individual citizen to bear arms, but as 'a clear mandate to do so'. He believes that universal gun ownership was advocated by the Framers of the Constitution as an antidote to a "monopoly of force" by the government as well as criminals. 
Vermont ’s constitution states explicitly that "the people have a right to bear arms for the defense of themselves and the State" and those persons who are "conscientiously scrupulous of bearing arms" shall be required to "pay such equivalent." Clearly, says Maslack, Vermonters have a constitutional obligation to arm themselves, so that they are capable of responding to "any situation that may arise."
Under the bill, adults who choose not to own a firearm would be required to register their name, address, Social Security Number, and driver's license number with the state. "There is a legitimate government interest in knowing who is not prepared to defend the state should they be asked to do so," Maslack says.
Vermont already boasts a high rate of gun ownership along with the least restrictive laws of any state. It's currently the only state that allows a citizen to carry a concealed firearm without a permit. This combination of plenty of guns and few laws regulating them has resulted in a crime rate that is the third lowest in the nation.
" America is at that awkward stage. It's too late to work within the system, but too early to shoot the bastards." This makes sense! There is no reason why gun owners should have to pay taxes to support police protection for people not wanting to own guns. Let them contribute their fair share and pay their own way. 
Sounds reasonable to me! Non-gun owners require more police to protect them and this fee should go to paying for their defense!
I LIKE IT - DO YOU?
