Is Your Toothpaste Safe?

August 28, 2014 by admin in Health News

 

 

You might have assumed that ingredients in products like soap and toothpaste had been thoroughly tested to ensure their safety and effectiveness. Sadly this is not the case. Some ingredients seem to be able to slip through the net of regulation, meaning dangerous chemicals are lurking in products we are using on a daily basis, with serious consequences for our health.

What is Triclosan?

The antibacterial chemical Triclosan was first introduced as a pesticide in 1969. Since then it has found its way into a huge variety of personal and household hygiene products, like toothpaste, and even plastics including children’s toys. Concerns about its safety have been growing in the last decade and it appears there is very limited data to support its safe use or even prove its effectiveness.

Emerging safety concerns

Such is the concern about this ingredient that last year the state of Minnesota decided to implement a state wide ban on its use in personal hygiene products.  While officially still recognized as safe by the FDA, governors in Minnesota decided that the risk to the public was too great to wait for the FDA to make a long overdue decision about its safety.  Even supermarkets in the UK proposed a voluntary withdrawal of the chemical back in 2003 due to increasing concerns about its toxicity.   In 2010 the National Resources Defense Council (NRDC) sued the FDA for ‘inaction’ regarding Triclosan and in 2013 the FDA was forced to hand-over data regarding the approval of the Colgate toothpaste Total which contains the chemical.
In 2011 the House Rules Committee requested that the FDA put in place a complete ban of the dangerous chemical based on several significant issues.  Triclosan breaks down in the body, especially in the skin when exposed to sunlight, to highly toxic dioxins. These chlorinated dioxins accumulate in the body and are known to cause cancers and disrupt hormones even at very low doses.  The House Rules Committee also stated that the over-use of antibacterial agents was promoting widespread bacterial resistance which was cause for great concern.  Studies have shown that 75% of the US population has Triclosan or its residues present in samples of blood, urine and even breast milk.

Environmental toxicity

The molecule is relatively stable, it does not readily break-down, and so it easily finds its way into the drinking water supply.During water processing the use of chlorine to sterilize the water intensifies the issue, making the by-products even more toxic by adding more chlorine.  The toxic chemicals easily get into the environment and can be found in waterways and natural ecosystems and are responsible for marine pollution worldwide.  Despite being designed to kill off microbes the chemical is nearly 1,000 times more effective at killing off algae, crustaceans and fish.

Personal vs hospital use

In addition to the concerns about environmental and human safety there is very little evidence to suggest the chemical is actually effective.  Numerous studies have shown that it is no more effective than using soap and water when washing your hands yet it is in almost all soaps and household products labelled ‘antibacterial’. In hospitals Triclosan is used in high doses for patients with skin infections of resistant bacterial strains. At these high doses, around 2%, Triclosan damages the membranes of the bacteria, causing them to break down, thus killing off the infection. However, in the weak doses found in toothpastes and other personal hygiene products the effect is quite different.  Low doses of Triclosan disrupt the way bacteria synthesize fatty acids which has a minimal, slower, effect.  The same disruptive effect is thought to be responsible for endangering the marine wildlife.

Insufficient data

A paper in the Journal of Environmental Science and Health concluded that there are gaps in the data to support the safe use of this chemical. They concluded in 2010 that there was: carcinogenic potential, specifically chronic risk to the skin; high risk of hormonal disruption and likelihood of dioxin formation in the skin (in the presence of sunlight). Concerns about the life-time exposure and accumulation of the product in the body, due to it being in so many products, were also highlighted.
So, considering all the available data, why does the FDA still classify the product as safe for use?
Its advisory information about the chemical states that animal data does indeed suggest that it affects hormonal regulation. It also clearly states that aside from its use in Colgate’s Total toothpaste there are no other known benefits.
A review of available literature conducted by the Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews found that Triclosan in toothpaste was only “marginally beneficial”.

Total toothpaste

While Colgate and the American Dental Association maintain that Triclosan is required to prevent gingivitis (infection of the gums) the data is not standing up to the latest round of scrutiny. This month the FDA has been heavily criticized for its role in the 1997 approval of the Total toothpaste.
It would seem the regulators relied heavily on company data to support its safe and effective use and did not perform enough tests themselves. This lack of diligence by the FDA means that for the last 17 years consumers have been putting a substance which is proving to have life threatening toxic effects into their mouths.

Dangerous side-effects 

The list of known problems associated with Triclosan is worryingly long.  It disrupts the function of the thyroid gland, mimicking the hormone thyroxin. It is implicated in breast cancer as it also mimics the hormone estrogen. It impairs heart muscle function (as much as 25% in lab mice) and has been linked to heart disease and heart failure. Since the chemical is able to penetrate the skin, more so through the delicate membranes in the mouth, and accumulates in the body the toxic effects are further enhanced. The cumulative effect of the chemical present in so many products designed to protect our health is alarming to say the least.

Other Ingredients In Your Toothpaste to Look Out For

The health regulatory body in Sweden has already issued guidance suggesting consumers avoid the chemical in toothpaste and hopefully other regulators will come to the same conclusion soon. In the meantime consumers need to be aware of exactly what chemicals they are putting in their body.

Sodium fluoride

This is not the first time ingredients added to toothpaste have come into question.  Sodium fluoride has been routinely added to toothpaste for nearly 50 years, while data to question its safety has been collecting for the last 40 years.  Despite over 100 peer reviewed animal studies implicating its toxicity,  you will still find it in most toothpastes and added to drinking water. It was originally believed that it could help fight cavities by forming a protective coat of fluoridated-enamel on the teeth. However, recent research shows this protective layer is only 6 nm thick (one thousandth of the width of a human hair).
This thin coating is easily lost while chewing and the dental cavities it is designed to prevent could be eliminated by simply cutting back on sugar.   Sodium fluoride is a potent toxin which affects the developing brain and studies have shown unequivocally that the amount of fluoride in drinking water is directly linked to lowered IQ. The reduction in IQ is directly correlated with the amount of fluoride consumed and the amount found in the body.
This one is a no-brainer, fluoride is bad for you and specifically your children. The Centre for Disease Control and American Dental Association have both warned their members, but not the public, to avoid using fluoridated tap water when preparing infant formula.

Titanium dioxide

Another toxic ingredient is titanium dioxide.  This is a coloring agent, added to toothpaste, vitamins and supplements to brighten the color.  Titanium dioxide is a common toothpaste ingredient and it has been linked to autoimmune problems. The very small, nanoparticles, of the ingredient interfere with DNA at a molecular level and cause breaks in the genetic material, chromosomal damage and inflammation. In addition to the autoimmune risk of diseases like arthritis there is also an increased risk of cancer.
Recent studies funded by the National Institute of Health found that this chemical, previously considered safe, is causing a lot of damage to the body. Individuals seem to react with different degrees of severity and workers in contact with substances like this are being warned to limit their exposure through cosmetics and personal hygiene products.

Sodium lauryl sulfate

Sodium lauryl sulfate, also called sodium dodecyl sulfate, is an emulsifier and soap; it helps different ingredients blend together and foam-up when used.  It is commonly used in toothpaste, cosmetics, industrial cleaning products and much more. This product although regarded as mildly toxic has undergone extensive testing which has proved its relative safety. However, the testing is usually done by directly putting it in the eyes and mouths of lab animals, very little testing has been done on the cumulative effect of low doses.
A typical western consumer uses 9 to 15 personal hygiene products a day which contain Sodium Lauryl Sulfate or a similar chemical, the dose may be low but it accumulates in the body. This accumulation appears to affect the eyes, liver and skin but there is simply insufficient evidence to validate long term safety and new data is cause for concern. There is already limited data to show a link to mouth ulcers and wary consumers may choose to avoid all chemicals which, like this, simply have not been tested sufficiently to prove their long term safety.

Sodium hydroxide

Sodium hydroxide is another worrying chemical added to a substance we put in our mouths several times a day for most of our lives. Also used as a drain cleaner it is added to toothpaste to change the pH, mainly needed to balance the effects of all the other chemicals.  Have you noticed the warning on toothpaste to spit not swallow? Also the advice to contact a poisons unit if accidentally ingested? This warning is due to the presence of this bleach which is also known for its carcinogenic capacity.

Chemical free alternatives

The list of ingredients found in toothpaste that you probably want to avoid is almost endless. However, some companies have recognized the need to provide safer alternatives and offer much more natural teeth cleaning products.  This includes: Himalaya Herbal Healthcare, Natures Gate Natural Toothpaste, Kingfisher, Weleda and Jason Natural Toothpaste. The products are formulated from natural ingredients with consumer safety in mind.

Home-made solutions

However, if like me you have lost all faith in commercial organizations and their regulators to truly determine what is safe then there are some simple natural alternatives. Green clay is an inert substance, found naturally in the ground, which has been used for thousands of years to purify the body. The clay can be mixed with some natural oil (such as virgin coconut or olive oil) and essential oils to make an excellent alternative. Another option is mixing sodium bicarbonate with coconut oil and essential oils for a similarly gentle abrasive paste.
I had been meaning to make my own toothpaste for quite some time and researching this article made me immediately put my own toothpaste in the bin and concoct something I could trust.
I added some peppermint essential oil (for flavor) and clove essential oil (for its natural antibacterial properties) to some green clay powder I had in the cupboard.  Along with some olive oil for texture and the result was really successful, my teeth felt clean and I felt safe.

Stay safe

If you make your own toothpaste you will know exactly what you are getting and it’s pretty cheap too. Keeping it natural means you avoid all the chemicals which actually disrupt the teeth’s natural ability to heal and regenerate themselves.  Yet again commercial greed and industry influence on regulators has allowed an unforgiveable level of consumer risk. The only solution would seem to be taking matters into your own hands and getting resourceful with some natural ingredients. The result is cheaper, healthier, safer solutions which do the job just as well, if not better.

Is Your Cookware Poisoning You?

April 11, 2014 by admin in Health News

We are all aware that the foods we eat influence our health. We know what foods to consume and which ones we should stay away from. We think about the physical food items, but what about the way in which our food is prepared? The pots and pans we choose can have a significant effect on our health. Our cookware and our health are not independent of one another.

Dangers of Cookware

You may be conscious of what you eat, but your cookware could actually be what is causing you harm. Non-stick cookware are made with materials such as steel or aluminum, and contain a chemical coating to make them ‘non-stick’. The real danger is this coating applied to your cookware. When non-stick cookware is heated to high temperatures, chemicals in the coating are released into our food. You may have beautiful, organic vegetables, but your cookware is adding chemicals for you to consume. This is a real concern and some of the dangers are as follows:

1. “Teflon flu”: Teflon is one of the main coatings used in cookware. When breathing in the fumes that are expelled at high temperatures, people can experience flu-like symptoms. This is due to the polluted air within your kitchen during cooking. Teflon is a brand name that is associated with non-stick cookware.
2. Smaller birth weight of new born children: A fetus feeds off of their mother’s diet and what she consumes. Chemicals ingested are no exception. Mice were found to have lower birth weights, and rats were found to have neonatal cell death.
3. Elevated cholesterol
4. Abnormal thyroid functioning
5. Liver inflammation: Our livers works extremely hard to protect us against all the toxic substances that enter our bodies. These chemicals pass through our liver, creating a negative effect.
6. Weaken immune system: We are only as strong as our immune system. It is crucial to look after ourselves, so that your immune system can operate at an optimal level.
7. Tumor Growth and Cancer: Tumors were found within the testicles, liver and pancreas of rats studied. Studies that looked at humans whom were exposed to PFAO at work, found higher levels of bladder and kidney cancers.

As you can see chemical associated with cookware can harm your body. Teflon is known as PFOA, or ‘perfluorooctanoic acid’. This substance is suspected of being a carcinogen, and about 95% of us have this substance in our bloodstream (this is including new borns). It has also been found within polar bears and marine animals; due to environmental factors.

Types of Non-stick Coatings

1. Teflon coating: This is the most common non-stick coating, which was introduced in the 1950’s. It is associated with all the risks that have been mentioned thus far and is not recommended.
2. Titanium coating: Although titanium coating is advertised as ‘PFOA free’, is still contains a synthetic coating and is also not recommended. This cookware tends to be aluminum with a synthetic titanium fused coating applied and is still reactive.
3. Diamond coating: Once again, this coating is advertised as not containing PFOA, but it still has a synthetic coating applied that is made from PTFE (polytetrafluoroethylene). This is essentially the same coating as Teflon non-stick pans. Companies providing diamond coated pots and pans claim that it contains ‘no Teflon’. This is where you need to be careful. This is in fact true, this cookware does not contain Teflon. The reason they can say this, is because ‘Teflon’ is a Trademark and belongs to the company DuPont. Chemical exposure is just as concerning when referring to diamond coated cookware.
4. Cooking Spray: This is not infused into your cookware, this spray is added to your cookware when you begin to cook. This spray appealed to many because of it allows for ‘fat-free cooking’. The spray may be low in calories, but it is high in chemicals. Cooking spray actually contains ‘propellant’. This substance is used in areosol containers and can be made from propane, carbon dioxide or nitrous oxide.

Exposure

We are exposed to these chemicals without any knowledge. This is a real concern and should be addressed. We are being exposed to these chemicals through environmental factors, such as:

1. The air: These chemicals can enter our bloodstream via the air. We inhale PFOA’s due to contaminated air or even dust.
2. Water and soil: We are being exposed through our water systems, especially if you’re located close to a manufacturing facility. These chemicals have been found in our drinking water, soil, sediment, ground water and even areas in the open ocean.
3. Food: These chemicals have been traced back to the foods we consume (link between our food and contaminated soil). Newborns whom are consuming breast milk may be exposed through their mother’s milk.
4. Products: This is where cookware would be relevant. We are exposing ourselves through consumer products.

Once these chemicals have entered our body, they are not metabolized. It is not entirely known how PFOA is distributed across human tissue. Studies in which used rats, showed that majority of the PFOA was found within the blood, liver and kidneys.
It is not only your health that is a concern regarding this cookware. Non-stick cookware simply does not last. It is not as durable and the coating begins to flake off after extended use. You are better off to invest in healthy cookware options that will last you a lifetime.

Other Cookware and Concerns

Copper: There is no doubt that copper is an excellent source of heat (which is why it is commonly found within stainless steel pots and pans). In small doses, copper is beneficial to our bodies. It helps to form red blood cells, maintain bone health and support a healthy immune system. We tend to get the copper we need from; dark leafy greens, dried fruit, shellfish, potatoes and more. Some foods actually increase copper leaching. Leaching is when minerals are absorbed from a solid. If you use copper pots and pans be aware that foods in which contain a high level of acidity can increase leaching (e.g. tomatoes). Since we get enough copper in our diet, it is ideal to have copper pans that are lined with stainless steel.
Aluminum: These pots and pans are lightweight and inexpensive. They conduct heat well, but there is a concern of aluminum seeping into food. Salty water and food have also been known to cause pitting in aluminum pots and pans; causing old pots and pans to have possible trace amounts of harmful substances like fluoride and arsenic. With that being said, there are anodized aluminum pots and pans that are available. They are more expensive, but the electro-chemical process causes aluminum to stay ‘locked’ inside. Therefore, aluminum will not leach into food due to this process.

Safe Alternatives

There are various options in terms of safe and healthy cookware. Here are some options:

1. Stainless Steel: These pots and pans generally have copper or aluminum between sheets of stainless steel. This is a great option because it creates great heat conductivity while providing a safe cooking surface. Stainless steel pots and pans are not non-stick, so they are typically great for high liquid recipes (e.g. soups and sauces). They can also be used for a wide variety of other ingredients and cooking purposes.
2. Cast Iron: Is highly durable and can be heated to much higher temperatures than it’s non-stick counterparts. Cast iron does not release chemicals when heated like non-stick pots and pans do. They actually provide traces of iron. Many people are iron deficient, so this is one instance of leaching that is actually beneficial.
3. Ceramic: These tend to be finished with enamel and are safe to use. They can reach extremely high temperatures. You just need to be concerned with decorative additions. Just make sure that it is specifically for cooking and food use.

Recommendations

Here are some recommendations in order to provide the highest level of safety for you and longevity for your pots and pans.

When Do You Throw Your Pots and Pans Away?

If you are able to, replace your non-stick pots and pans right away. Replacing them with a safer, longer lasting option is your best bet. In order to get rid of these, you may have to call up your city and see how to properly dispose of them (e.g. scrap metal depot).
If you are not able to replace them right away, make sure you do so before they begin to ‘flake’. This coating will begin to flake off after extensive use and can end up in your food. Also, if you are stuck with your non-stick pans, do not overheat them in the oven for example. Temperatures get too hot and there is an increase in chemical fumes.

Ways to Remove Burnt Areas and Dirt Naturally

Many cleaning products are packed with chemicals, and then you wash your pots and pans with these substances. The best ways to clean your pots and pans are:

1. Water: Soak your pots and pans in hot water. Let them soak and then give them some elbow grease.
2. Salt and Lime Juice: Squirt some lime juice and throw some salt into your dirty pots and pans. Let this rest for a few minutes and then scrub. The salt and citrus juices will lift dirt and burnt areas.
3. Baking Soda: This is great if you have excessive amounts of grease left in your pots and pans. The baking soda will suck the grease up and allow for easier disposal (it will clump up).
4. Vinegar: Vinegar is great for cutting through grease and stains. Make your own all-purpose spray using some citrus peels, vinegar and water. It is quite simple to make and is a great natural alternative.

Cooking Your Food: What You Should Be Aware Of

It is important to mention some cooking tips that will improve your health. High temperatures can have a negative affect on your food, in terms of it’s nutritional value. For instance, when you boil potatoes, a lot of the vitamins go into the water. Vitamins tend to dissolve in water, therefore vitamins B and C are lost within your boiling water. Here are some of the processes you need to be aware of:

1. Protein denaturation: When certain foods are cooked at high temperatures (meat, eggs, vegetables, etc.), the protein molecules can change their structure. This may cause some amino acids to be destroyed.
2. Vitamin loss: As mentioned with the potatoes, essential vitamins can be lost through heating processes.
3. Mineral loss: This will be seen when boiling ingredients. If you need to cook your vegetables, consider steaming. Green vegetables such as broccoli, have been shown to hold more of their nutrients when steamed.
4. Negative compounds: High heat may form some undesirable compounds such as carcinogenic substances.

Although some foods lose nutritional value when heated to high temperatures. There are also foods that increase in nutrients and benefit from heating. Some of these foods are;

1. Root vegetables: Without heating, these vegetables can be hard to digest. Heating them softens their structure so that we can consume them. Cooking carrots actually allows for the cell walls to break down, providing more beta-carotene (linked with good eye health and immune function).
2. Tomatoes: Heating tomatoes actually helps to break the cell wall of the tomato, releasing lycopene (beneficial antioxidant compound).
3. Leafy greens: When heated, oxalic acid is reduced. This acid blocks iron absorption and is found in greens like spinach or swiss chard.

Next time you go to cook a meal, be conscious of your cookware. Non-stick pots and pans are the worst option in terms of leaching. Try and replace this cookware with safer, more effective alternatives. Stay away from cookware that releases chemicals, and consume food in the state that makes it most beneficial.

 

IS THIS WHY THE RV IS NOT BEING RELEASED IN THE UNITED STATES?

DHS Insider: Crisis Of Unprecedented Magnitude To Strike U.S.

 

DHS IS REPORTED TO BE PLANNING A "HISTORY MAKING EVENT" UNLIKE ANYTHING CITIZENS OF THE UNITED STATES HAVE SEEN BEFORE"

A DHS whistleblower has revealed that the agency are planning a “history making” event “unlike anything citizens of the United States have seen before”. 


Speaking to the Canada Free Press, he said “According to every internal document I’ve seen and read, and from the few people I’ve spoken with who understand what’s going on, preparations have been finalized to respond to a crisis of unprecedented magnitude within the United States. The response will include the use of lethal force against U.S. citizens under the instructions of Barack Obama”.


Truthandaction.org reports:


The insider is retiring along with many others inside DHS who don’t like what the agency is, in his words “DHS and other organizations have become the private army of the Oval Office.”
 
Under the cover and amid the distraction of the Christmas bustle, I had my last “official” contact with a source inside the Department of Homeland Security known as “Rosebud” in my writings. My source is leaving his position, retiring along with numerous others choosing to leave this bureaucratic monstrosity. For this contact, my source took unprecedented measures to be certain that our contact was far off the radar of prying government eyes and ears. I was stunned at the lengths he employed, and even found myself somewhat annoyed by the inconvenience that his cloak-and-dagger approach caused. It was necessary, according to my source, because all department heads under FEMA and DHS are under orders to identify anyone disclosing any information for termination and potential criminal prosecution.


“DHS is like a prison environment, complete with prison snitches,” he said, referring to the search for leaks and leakers. And the warden is obsessed. Ask anyone in DHS. No one trusts anyone else and whatever sources might be left are shutting up. The threats that have been made far exceed anything I’ve ever seen. Good people are afraid for their lives and the lives of their families. We’ve all been threatened. They see the writing on the wall and are leaving. It’s not a joke and not hype.”


The following is a narrative from my source, prefaced with the instructions to “take it or leave it,” and “disregard it at your own peril.” He added that it’s now up to each American to act on the information themselves or suffer the consequences. “I’ve resigned myself to the fact that most [Americans] will never be convinced of the reality that is taking place right in front of them.”


THE PLAN EXPLAINED


“According to every internal document I’ve seen and read, and from the few people I’ve spoken with who understand what’s going on, preparations have been finalized to respond to a crisis of unprecedented magnitude within the United States. The response will include the use of lethal force against U.S. citizens under the instructions of Barack Obama.” But why? “‘It’s the economy, stupid,’” he began, paraphrasing a campaign slogan coined by James Carville for Bill Clinton’s 1992 campaign.


“Just as I disclosed in our first meeting, the crisis will be rooted in an economic collapse. I told you last year, at a time when gold and silver were setting record highs, one specific indicator that time is very short. It is the final ‘smack down’ of the metals, gold and silver, that will presage the orchestrated economic collapse that is being planned by the bankers of Wall Street. Everybody needs to understand that this is a deliberate collapse of the U.S. economy with the oversight of the White House and the full knowledge of the Justice Department.


Everyone seems to be waiting for some big history making event that will signal the start of the collapse. The fact is that the collapse has already started. It’s incremental, like a snowball rolling down a hill. It gets bigger and rolls faster. Well, this snowball is well on its way down the hill.” “I don’t mean to sound repetitive, but I can’t stress this enough.


Contrary to what you hear, we’re already in an economic collapse, except that most people haven’t a clue. The ‘big bang’ comes at the end, when people wake up one morning and can’t log in to their bank accounts, can’t use their ATM cards, and find out that their private pension funds and other assets have been confiscated,” he stated. “I’ve seen documentation of multiple scenarios created outside of DHS. Different plans and back-up plans.


Also, please understand that I deliberately used the word ‘created,’ as this is a completely manufactured event. In the end it won’t be presented that way, which is extremely important for everyone to understand. What is coming will be blamed on some unforeseen event out of everyone’s control, that few saw coming or thought would actually happen. Then, another event will take place concurrent with this event, or immediately after it, to confuse and compound an already explosive situation.” I asked for specifics.


“As I said, there are several scenarios and I don’t know them all. I know one calls for a cyber-attack by an external threat, which will then be compounded by something far removed from everyone’s own radar. But it’s all a ruse, or a pretext. The threat is from within,” he stated. “Before people can regain their footing, a second event will be triggered.” Again, I asked for specifics.


“I’ve seen one operational plan that refers to the federal government’s response to a significant terrorist attack on U.S. soil. Information at these levels is compartmentalized. I don’t have specifics, just plans for the response. The response will be controls and restrictions on travel, business, and every aspect of our lives, especially gun ownership and speech that incites people against the government. I guess some people would call it Martial Law, and they would not be incorrect. But understand that this will be a process deployed in stages. How quickly of a process remains to be seen.”


THE MECHANICS EXPLAINED


As I said, people continue to look for something big to happen first, followed by a militaristic response by the federal government against U.S. citizens. Based on what I’ve seen, I don’t believe it will happen this way, although there is one unthinkable exception. That exception would involve a ‘decapitation’ of our leadership, but I’ve seen nothing even remotely suggestive of that. But I’ve heard and even read articles where that is mentioned. Frankly, though, that’s always been a threat. I suppose that if the leadership is deemed useless, or becomes a liability to the larger agenda in some manner, it could happen. The precedent exists. Let’s pray that it’s not the case now.”


“I don’t think anyone except the initiated few know the precise series of events or the exact timing, just a general overview and an equally general time period. I think we’re in that period now, as DHS has their planned responses finalized. Also, the metals are important because it’s real money, not Ponzi fiat currency. The U.S. has no inventory of gold, so the prices are manipulated down to cause a sell-off of the physical assets. China is on a buying spree of gold, and other countries want their inventory back. The very people causing the prices to drop are the ones who are also buying the metals at fire sale prices. They will emerge extremely wealthy when the prices rise after the U.S. currency becomes wallpaper. A little research will identify who these people and organizations are.”


“I’d like to add a bit of perspective that might help explain the events as I described. Do you remember former Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld announcing that the Pentagon was unable to account for $2.3 trillion in the defense budget? That was on September 10, 2001, the day before the attacks of 9/11. Some suggest that 9/11 was orchestrated, in part to cover up the missing money, which is ludicrous. The result, however, was that suddenly the accounting issue took a back seat because of the attacks. The result will be the same. That’s a perfect example of the mechanics of what we are about to experience. It’s going to take years to sort out, and when it’s finally sorted out, the damage will have long been done.”


“Please note a few final things. The relationship that exists between DHS today and the executive branch is well beyond alarming. DHS and other organizations have become the private army of the Oval Office. The NSA, and I’ve got contacts there, is taking orders from the Oval Office. The IRS is under the virtual control of the Oval Office in a manner that would make Nixon cower. Even though all roads appear to lead to the Oval Office, they lead through the Oval Office. It’s not just Obama, but the men behind him, the people who put him there. The people who put him there are the ones who created him.”


I asked who created him. “First, ask yourself why there was such an all out effort to marginalize anyone talking about Obama’s eligibility in 2008. Even so-called conservatives pundits fell for the lie that such questions were nothing more than a diversion. They were following a specific drumbeat. That should tell every rational adult that he is a creation of the globalists who have no allegiance to any political party. He is the product of decades of planning, made for this very time in our history. He was selected to oversee the events I just disclosed. Who has that ability? He’s a product of our own intelligence agencies working with the globalists. He should be exhibit ‘A’ to illustrate the need to enforce the Logan Act. Need I say more?” As often said by another of my sources, the U.S. is a captured operation. The lie is bigger than most people realize or are willing to confront. That is, until there is no other option. By then, it might be too late.

Coconut Oil Kills Cancer, Fast! Amazing Cure!

Posted on December 29, 2014 by admin

This article is taken from the Beforeitsnews website…… it is being published here on revelation12.ca in order to help more people discover this website.
It’s amazing what the right oils can accomplish for the human body, especially coconut oil, it’s capability to combat cancerous colon cells at   93%   effectiveness within 48 hours is staggering.

Meanwhile, when most are sold into believing there is no hope for cancer, other than surgeries or Big Pharma’s devastating chemo therapy, slaughtering body cells and bank accounts globally.
Don’t buy into Big Pharma’s Lies and Poisons.
In the following video, it is said that rats were induced with cancer, then given a diet of different oils. Only the rats that received coconut oil lived to see another day.All the other rats given other types of oil,  other than coconut oil DIED!! 
Here is the video link….
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hqNoPvESoc8

[In this newly published lab study, lauric acid (coconut oil is about 50% lauric acid) killed over 93% of human colon cancer cells (Caco-2) after 48 hours of treatment. Intriguingly, the lauric acid poisoned the cancer cells by simultaneously unleashing profound oxidative stress while strongly reducing their levels of glutathione (which is exactly what the cancer cells needed to protect themselves from the increased oxidative stress).]

I also just want to mention real quick in case you haven’t heard about the real scoop on butter and it’s positive effect’s on your health. Up until recently, I thought butter was to be used sparingly, thinking, I was programmed to believe it’s bad for health, that’s all I ever heard from Mainstream news sources since forever. Butter is not bad for you! It’s actually quite beneficial for gut health and is chock full of valuable fat soluble vitamins, including vitamins A, E and K2.

RUMOR - NOT YET CONFIRMED: Jade Helm15 military exercises will end on June 15

RUMOR - NOT YET CONFIRMED

JADE HELM 15 MILITARY EXERCISES WILL END ON JUNE 15 !!!??

Can anyone research and confirm this one way or the other?

Note that the Ambassador to the Red Dragon Family said this week to expect the earth changes and severe weather to increase.

The rumor is that the Jade Helm15 military exercises will end on June 15.  So, it will be interesting to see what occurs around that time.
 

In observing the news on CNN, I am seeing the following that they want us to feel:

1) We need to be afraid of Russia, China, N. Korea and ISIS attacking us.

2) Our airport security is almost non-existent and a terrorist could easily get through with a bomb, etc., so we are unprotected.

3) Without the Patriot Act in force, we are doomed to terrorist attacks.

Remember that, while it is good to be vigilant, being fearful will set you up to be manipulated by the self-serving forces.

To be part of the solution…

Envision our country and the planet making the transition back into the control of the people gracefully and without fear, through your thoughts, prayers and actions.

De-Google your life

De-Google your life: it’s worth the hassle if you value your privacy

Data privacy may seem like a distant and abstract concept but what is more personal than the information you are sharing with Google?

Derek Scally 

Imagine you get a letter in the post offering you free water. Instead of paying Irish Water for your supply, another company promises you a generous quantity of free water.

The catch? Instead of water meters, the company wants to install meters measuring the comings and goings to your home. They will also record who you know, who you communicate with and how often.

They will store information on what you watch on television, what websites you visit on your computer, where you go on holiday, what you buy and where.

The same company allows you free water outside your home, but only after you allow them meter your smartphone to record where you go, who you call or text, what websites you visit, even where you – and your phone – spend the night. It’s a great service and, sure, you have nothing to hide, have you? Free water is free water, after all.

In a world where digital services are now regarded as almost as crucial as water, Google has taken the world by storm because of its great services and compelling business proposition.

Google’s search engine, email and other products are fast, intuitive and reliable – but they’re not free.

Instead of cash, people pay Google in kind: with their identity, their behaviour, their habits and their preferences. Google collates and analyses this user data on a global scale, sells it to advertisers and, according to Edward Snowden, more than occasionally gifts it to US and other intelligence services.

Viewed from a distance, Google is operating the largest instalment plan in human history.

The longer the plan runs, the more valuable Google’s customer data collections become.

You may already be more valuable to Google now than the cost to them of offering you their services.

Given Google’s billions of satisfied customers, is it quixotic to tilt against these windmills of the digital age by de-Googling your life?

Anyone who thinks so is likely to change their mind when they start. Very quickly, Google begins to resemble the Eagles’ Hotel California, where you can check out any time you like but you can never leave. Or at least that’s what the Californian corporation would have you believe.

Step 1

Spread your data

If you do nothing else, don’t put all your digital eggs – mail, photo and cloud storage – in one basket.

Make a trade-off between convenience and privacy and explore some of the alternative services (see panel), many of which are based in Europe, where you’re covered by EU privacy laws.

Step 2

Search differently

Google has 92 per cent of the internet search market for a reason: it has the best algorithms in the business that turn up, as if by magic, the best results.

It’s hard to do without Google search completely, but it needn’t be your default choice in your browser. Try DuckDuckGo, a search engine that doesn’t track you. If you still need to use Google, try doing so while logged out of its other services. You can also use GoogleAnon to remove small files, called “cookies”, that Google uses to track you.

Step 3

Crumble the cookies

We’ve all seen the little windows informing us that cookies “improve” the user experience. That’s only part of the truth.

Cookies also have a secret life, allowing Google and companies you’ve never heard of to shadow you everywhere you go online. To end this practice, install a tracker blocker such as Ghostery in your web browser. It’s easily done and once installed informs you how many advertising hooks it stopped being lodged on your computer.

Another service, privacyfix.com from AVG, walks you through all your privacy settings on your computer and internet services you use, showing you what boxes you’ve forgotten to tick. The service offers an entertaining, and enlightening, estimate of how much you’re worth to Google and other internet companies.

Step 4

Gmail

Perhaps the most difficult stage of de-Googling my life is biding farewell to Gmail. Gmail remains the gold standard of so-called “freemail” accounts, with 15GB of “free” storage combined with a reliable and smart service. But is it a bit too smart, scanning emails and other content to provide targeted advertising?

Although Google insists Gmail users retain ownership of their intellectual property, its terms of service state that uploading content to Google’s servers gives the company a “worldwide license to use, host, store, reproduce, modify . . . communicate, publish, publicly perform, publicly display and distribute such content”. This license continues after you stop using Google’s services.

Do you know what the implications of this are for the future? Neither do I. So perhaps Gmail or Google Drive is not the best place to store confidential news stories, exciting new film scripts or the entire written correspondence of your life.

Good alternatives exist. With minimum hassle I switched to mailbox.org, offering email as part of a full online office suite, with calendar and cloud storage, starting from €1 a month. The company doesn’t scan your messages and can store your mails – encrypted – on its servers in Berlin. Small wonder mailbox.org came out on top in a survey of email services by Germany’s leading consumer magazine, Stiftung Warentest.

Although it’s hard to leave your Gmail address behind, a gentle separation is possible.

First, forward messages to your new address until you’re ready to close down Gmail.

Then download a copy of your messages via Google Takeout, which you can then open as an offline in any email programme.

After you cut your ties, Google will continue to have a copy of exchanges with friends and family who remain with Gmail. But at least you’ve made a fresh start for yourself.

Step 5

Cloud storage

As you de-Google your life, you will notice again and again that the most powerful loyalty tool is its most subtle: convenience. The more data you give the company, the more dependent you are on Google to access “your” data.

Its slogan, “One Account. All of Google”, ensures everything flows seamlessly from your computer to your tablet and smartphone.

Only when you depart do the challenges begin. Leaving Gmail was a walk in the park compared to the task of keeping my contacts and calendar synced across multiple devices without the Google (or Apple) cloud.

Independent tech experts say the big players deliberately tinker with file standards for their calendar and address-book offerings to make migration possible and keep you inside their golden cage. It’s a devious and effective practice, but hearing that only strengthened my resolve to break free.

Be prepared for frustrations – and late nights – on this front but, if you clear this hurdle, you’re home free.

For those of you wedded to free cloud services such as Google Drive, consider using the Omnicloud from Germany’s Fraunhofer Institute. This service allows you to locally encrypt all data before it is uploaded to the cloud.

Step 6

Smartphone

All smartphones leak data like an old banger leaks oil. Knowing where this data is going is key, and while trust in Apple and Google’s privacy policies is good, control is better.

A decade ago Google bought Android and presented it as an “open source” alternative to Apple’s proprietary iOS. But in recent years Google has switched on the corporate tractor beam, pulling app developers, mobile handset makers and their customers inside Google’s solar system, its own private corner of the Android universe.

Using an Android phone without Google watching you is possible but less fun. If you’re technically minded you can wipe your Android phone and install CyanogenMod – a fully functional version of the operating system pruned of Google’s tentacles. Or you could join the Nordic avant garde aboard the good ship Jolla (see panel below).

Conclusion

Leaving the Google universe is a bit like going vegetarian: a noble idea that can flounder because of convenience and habit.

If de-Googling your life sounds like a lot of hassle, it is – at the start.

Apathy is far easier. Peer Heinlein of Berlin email provider mailbox.org suggests being more data conscious is like being health conscious: knowing is not the same as doing.

“You can’t force people in these things, and making them feel guilty doesn’t work either,” he says.

“But you can make the alternatives so appetising people don’t feel they’re doing without.”

Even after the Snowden revelations, people with other priorities than big-data collection adopted an understandable “why bother, who cares” response.

For privacy campaigner Glenn Greenwald, the man who revealed Snowden’s mass surveillance claims against the National Security Agency, the most common response he hears on the road is what he calls the “I have nothing to hide” argument. To this he has a simple answer.

“Whenever I hear someone say ‘I have nothing to hide,’ ” said Mr Greenwald in Berlin last year, “I always ask that person for their email password so I can read their messages. No one has ever taken me up on the offer.”

People have nothing to hide when they sense surveillance is distant and abstract. Things change when the idea of surveillance is concrete and personal. But what is more personal than the information you are sharing with Google?

As the implications of big data begin to reveal themselves, so too the arguments in favour of de-Googling your life. For instance: would you like an airline or insurance company to charge you more for their products or services because they have access to data on your private life or health that you don’t remember sharing – or didn’t realise you’d shared – with Google?

Privacy is a flexible social norm, but new privacy norms are not inevitable just because they are promoted by for-profit corporations dangling “free” digital goodies at an uncertain cost.

OTHER ALTERNATIVES TO ALL SERVICES AND APPS alternativeto.net Jolla smartphone: Finnish company that can compete with Apple and Google Mobile phones are always a privacy trade-off, offering communications on the go that are nevertheless trackable via both your mobile-phone number and device number. But Edward Snowden’s revelations have made it clear that a smartphone can lead a second, shadowy life as a Trojan horse for intelligence agencies.

For anyone concerned about their data, an interesting alternative to US-owned smartphones has arrived from the one-time home of European mobile communications: Finland.

Jolla, Finnish for “small sailboat”, is a device that puts the smart back into smartphone.

Similar in looks to the Nokia Lumia, the Jolla is one of the what-ifs of recent tech history: the phone Nokia chose not to build when it hitched its fortunes to Windows and Microsoft.

A small team inside Nokia, working on an open-source alternative, left the company to realise that vision. Jolla is the outcome: a slick device that runs the Linux-based operating system Sailfish.

Perhaps the most remarkable thing about the phone is that it works, marrying the elegance of Apple’s iOS with the openness of Android.

But Jolla’s software goes further with a pertinent design question: what is the point of touchscreens and gesture-based operating systems if you break the flow with mechanical or on-screen buttons?

Aboard Jolla there are no buttons: you swipe up from the bottom of the screen to reveal your apps and click to open as normal. To close again, you swipe in from the left or right. The app shrinks into a small window but keeps running, ready to be reactivated.

Another intuitive swipe reveals notifications, while discreet, on-screen lamps allow you drop down – or up – a menu level.

Native apps take the Jolla elegance still further, using a pull-down menu rather than a clutter of buttons to answer a call or send a text message. It’s pleasingly minimalist, but not for minimalism’s sake.

Form follows function, too, in the design of the device. The back cover contains an in-built, programmable NFC chip and is easily removed to access the battery and SIM card – a blessing in an era when most smartphone users are locking, screwing and gluing their phones shut.

Another of Jolla’s selling point is privacy: Sailfish is an open operating system with no corporate tentacles.

Yet the practical Finns know their phone needs to work in the real world so, to bridge the current app gap, you can install your favourite Android apps both from non-Google stores and, with some fiddling, the Google Play store, too.

On the down side, the Jolla phone had mid-market specs when it launched two years ago and power users will notice its age now, particularly in the camera, screen and processor. But regular software updates maintain a solid experience.

After a summer launch of an impressive-looking tablet running Sailfish 2.0, Jolla is likely to launch a new phone. For now the Jolla, a first-generation mobile phone and operating system, is rock solid and remarkably stable and mature. Version 2.0 will be one to watch.

Anyone with problems can turn to the small but engaged Jolla online community, some of the most civilised and friendly online forums you’ll ever encounter.

Ask why they have come aboard, some users say they’re supporting the underdog, others cite the promise of diversity Jolla offers compared with Apple and Google.

“It can’t be right that in this industry that is supposed to be about innovation there are only two options to choose from,” writes one user, Pim.

David, a “60+ user from Greystones”, says he was anxious to support the concept despite its limitations.

“For all the positives associated with open-source and community development, progress, although good, can be painfully slow when waiting for official updates,” he writes.

Another user writes: “What I also like is being part of the adventure of a small and highly motivated company. I admire their guts taking on a multibillion industry with only 120 employees and a community.”

Perhaps that is the most remarkable part of the Jolla story: how a small Finnish company produced a new smartphone with a tailored new operating system that can compete comfortably with Apple and Google.

Despite their massive economies of scale, these big boys will charge you €500+ for their phones. That’s a huge mark-up on phones that, unknown to many users, quietly earn their manufacturers a rolling income in user data.

Jolla is a boutique work in progress but it’s a compelling European proposition for €249 plus postage from jolla.com.
