Editorial

When we asked Peter Doherty to write a question-and-answer piece on influenza [1], Australia, where he is based, had one reported case of influenza A (H1N1). At the time of writing this editorial, Australia has more than 1,200 cases (though to date no deaths) and has triggered the announcement by WHO of a global pandemic.

Received wisdom has it that pathogens are not generally lethal to the hosts they normally infect, because they could not survive if they were. Pathogenicity thus becomes adapted to a level at which the host survives to become reinfected (or to produce young that become infected). The most notable example of such adaptation is in the herpesviruses, which have evolved a quite extraordinary repertoire of devices for avoiding human immunity and with which most human adults in the Western world are chronically infected. Herpesviruses persist through latency. Influenza virus belongs to a different strategic class, which proliferates rapidly and escapes in coughs and sneezes, leaving the host immune. Most humans survive infection with human influenza viruses; but the adaptive truce may break down when the human viruses recombine with viruses of avian or swine origin: hence the high human mortality associated with the H5N1 avian influenza virus that emerged into public consciousness in 2005. The so-called swine H1N1 influenza virus that is the cause of the current pandemic is apparently a triple-reassortant, with genes of swine, human and avian origin. Unlike H5N1 it is readily transmissible between humans, but it seems - so far at least - otherwise less uncouth, and in most people causes only mild disease; so perhaps in respect both of transmissibility and of pathogenicity it reflects its human rather than its swine or avian origins. What makes this virus particularly dangerous, as Peter Doherty and Stephen Turner explain in their Q&A in this issue of Journal of Biology [1], is simply that most of us are not immune to it, and it was not, until now, on the agenda for inclusion in the seasonal influenza vaccine programme.

It is probably the level - or rather the distribution - of population immunity that also partly accounts for the atypical pattern of mortality of pandemic as against the usual seasonal influenza. Whereas seasonal influenza is more likely to kill the old, pandemic influenza (including the present H1N1 influenza) tends preferentially to kill the young. This is thought to be because older individuals are likely to have some level of immunity due to crossprotective antibodies - that is, antibodies against similar features of other, in this case past, influenza viruses. (I ought however to restate that disease due to influenza A (H1N1) seems generally mild; and indeed mortality is almost certainly even lower than it seems, because it is highly likely that many infected individuals never bother to consult a doctor and the number of people actually infected therefore probably substantially exceeds the number reported.)

FDA Calls Cheerios an �Unapproved Drug

2009-05-19T23:40:00.002-04:00

The continued harassment and suppression of information by the FDA would be ludicrous if it wasn't killing hundreds of thousands of people every year. As some former FDA officials have pointed out, the organization is more a servant of drug companies than a protector of the health of American people.

In medieval times, people were not allowed to read the Bible as they might get strange ideas. Today, you are not allowed to talk about research in medical journals as you might start to question some of the drugs you are on.

------------------
The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) issued a warning letter to cereal manufacturer General Mills for claiming on its cereal box that Cheerios can help lower cholesterol, and saying on their website that �diets rich in whole grain foods can reduce the risk of heart disease.� The letter, dated May 5, called the above claims �serious violations� of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act and applicable regulations. FDA stated that based on the claims made, Cheerios is now an unapproved drug, and must go through FDA new drug approval process.

FDA has issued warning letters in the past to various food producers to keep them from telling consumers about the healthful nature of their products. For example, cherry growers were targeted and enjoined from referencing peer-reviewed scientific articles proving cherries� health benefits for gout and arthritis. For years, FDA barred health claims about the benefits of fish oil for heart, cancer, depression, body pain, and various other conditions until a drug company paid a great deal of money to take its fish oil through the approval process. That particular fish oil, now FDA-approved, sells at many more times the cost of regular fish oil. This type of enforcement effectively censors scientific information, greatly restricts consumer access to scientific studies that provide valuable information, and drives up healthcare costs.

Homeopathic Treatment for Infectious Disease

2009-05-02T05:27:00.000-04:00

There is an interesting discussion of treatment of flu with homeopathy on Homeonet. David Kent Warkenten quotes Andre Saine who cites one of the many published papers in homeopathy showing the difference between conventional treatment of the flu and homeopathic treatment during the worst epidemics.

Today we have the same and better homeopathic remedies readily available and they are great support for any frequency work.

------
How does homeopathy address patients with infectious diseases? Homeopathic treatment is ideal to optimize the body's natural defenses against microbes. With the appropriate homeopathic treatment, people recover from infectious diseases, even the most serious ones, gently and rapidly. During past great epidemics such as diphtheria, scarlet fever, typhoid, cholera, yellow fever, malaria, etc., homeopathy decreased mortality by 10 to 30 times versus conventional medicine. During the infamous Spanish flu epidemic of 1918-19, it has been estimated that 25 to 50 million people died worldwide. In the United States alone, 550,000 died, approximately 10% of the people afflicted with the flu. Homeopathic physicians documented then more than 62,000 patients treated with homeopathy resulting in a mortality of 0.7%. For people who were sick enough to be hospitalized, conventional medicine had a mortality of 30% while with 27,000 documented hospitalized cases, homeopathy was reporting a mortality of 1.05% (Journal of the American Institute of Homeopathy 1921; 13:1028-43).

Homeopathy: The First Line of Defense in Dealing with the Flu

2009-04-30T15:58:00.000-04:00

It is well known to students of the homeopathic research literature that deaths from flu treated by homeopathy are almost nonexistent. The worse flu epidemics of the past had almost no deaths compared to conventional treatment. Melanie Grimes has a good summary of the literature in a recent article in NaturalNews.

Today, for most flus including the current swine flu, we have a very effective remedy in Oscillicocinum. It can be purchased in any Whole Foods Market. I have even seen it in some CVS and other chain drugstores. Use it at the first sign of the flu as it impacts a wider spectrum of flu organisms than any vaccine.

Important for Swine Flu Epidemic: Homeopathy Successfully Treated Flu Epidemic of 1918
Tuesday, April 28, 2009 by: Melanie Grimes, citizen journalist

(NaturalNews) Homeopathy was successful in treating the flu epidemic of 1918 and can provide answers to questions about the 2009 Swine Flu. Homeopathy can provide quick and inexpensive relief for symptoms of the flu. A system of medicine based on the principles of "like cures like," homeopathy uses plant, mineral and animal sources for the natural flu remedies. Homeopathy is based on ideas from ideas dating back to Egyptian medicine. The term "homeopathy" was coined by the medical doctor and medical reformer, Samuel Hahnemann in the 1800s. Homeopathic remedies have been used to treat flu symptoms for two centuries.

Was homeopathy successful in treating the flu epidemic of 1918?
Yes.
While the mortality rate of people treated with traditional medicine and drugs was 30 percent, those treated by homeopathic physicians had mortality rate of 1.05 percent.
Of the fifteen hundred cases reported at the Homeopathic Medical Society of the District of Columbia there were only fifteen deaths. Recoveries in the National Homeopathic Hospital were 100%. In Ohio, of 1,000 cases of influenza, Dr. T. A. McCann, MD, Dayton, Ohio reported NO DEATHS.

What homeopathic remedies were used to successfully treat the Spanish flu in 1918?
Gelsemium and Bryonia
According the Dr. Frank Wieland, MD, in Chicago, "(With) 8,000 workers we had only one death. Gelsemium was practically the only remedy used. We used no aspirin and no vaccines."

Homeopathy was 98% successful in treating the Spanish flu epidemic in 1918?
Yes.
Ohio reported that 24,000 cases of flu treated allopathically had a mortality rate of 28.2% while 26,000 cases of flu treated homeopathically had a mortality rate of 1.05% . In Connecticut, 6,602 cases were reported, with 55 deaths, less than 1%. Dr. Roberts, a physician on a troop ship during WWI, had 81 cases of flu on the way over to Europe. He reported, "All recovered and were landed. Every man received homeopathic treatment."

How do they know that a virus caused the flu epidemic of 1918, when the first virus was not isolated until 1933?
They don`t. In fact, many believe that the epidemic was actually a vaccine reaction.

Swine Flu Update 30 Apr 2009

2009-04-29T10:00:00.005-04:00

Frequency Foundation ongoing research indicates that there are three virus strains circulating. Two variants of swine flu and one of bird flu. This may account for mixed genetic material seen in viruses cultured by other researchers. The frequencies appear to be the same as one of the many hundreds of viruses that those infected with Lyme disease have been fighting for years with minor changes. So they are likely variants of the many viruses studied and released into the atmosphere at the Plum Island laboratory through decades of violation of EPA safety regulations. At least one United Nations expert thinks these viruses were produced in a lab. See Dr. Mercola's excellent article on swine flu.

Frequency Foundation subscribers will receive updated frequencies today as part of their normal subscription (see link on lower left side of page to subscribe). The current swine flu virus variant has produced mild symptoms in infected people so far in the United States and these frequencies might be helpful for prevention purposes.

Oscillicocinum is strongly indicated for this infection and recommended for anyone who thinks they have been exposed. You can buy it at any Whole Foods Market.

The outbreak of disease in people caused by a new influenza virus of swine origin continues to grow in the United States and internationally. Today, CDC reports additional confirmed human infections, hospitalizations and the nation�s first fatality from this outbreak. The more recent illnesses and the reported death suggest that a pattern of more severe illness associated with this virus may be emerging in the U.S. Most people will not have immunity to this new virus and, as it continues to spread, more cases, more hospitalizations and more deaths are expected in the coming days and weeks.
CDC has implemented its emergency response. The agency�s goals are to reduce transmission and illness severity, and provide information to help health care providers, public health officials and the public address the challenges posed by the new virus. Yesterday, CDC issued new interim guidance for clinicians on how to care for children and pregnant women who may be infected with this virus. Young children and pregnant women are two groups of people who are at high risk of serious complications from seasonal influenza. In addition, CDC�s Division of the Strategic National Stockpile (SNS) continues to send antiviral drugs, personal protective equipment, and respiratory protection devices to all 50 states and U.S. territories to help them respond to the outbreak. The swine influenza A (H1N1) virus is susceptible to the prescription antiviral drugs oseltamivir and zanamivir. This is a rapidly evolving situation and CDC will provide updated guidance and new information as it becomes available.

GAO Sting Operation Surfaces Fraud in Medical Trials

Membership in the American Association for Health Freedom is strongly encouraged as it is one of the few organizations protecting your freedom of choice in medicine. You probably will not find this report in your local newspaper.

Ensnared by an Undercover Investigation, Drug Study Reviewer Halts Many of Its Review Operations

A previous Pulse of Health Freedom issue mentioned the uncover operations of the Government Accountability Office (GAO) which ensnared Coast IRB, LLC, of Colorado Springs. The GAO created a fake medical study of a fake product to see whether for-profit review boards adequately supervised medical trials. Two firms turned it down but Coast IRB took it.

Coast IRB has now voluntarily halted many of its review operations at the FDA�s request. Up to 300 trials could be affected. The company has issued a statement that it caught the �sting� internally and had launched an internal investigation.

In the wake of an adolescent�s death in a gene therapy drug trial, the safety of human volunteers in clinical trials has come under increasing scrutiny, and many are worried about the objectivity of the results presented to the FDA.

The influence of vested interests, particularly in medical research, is also of great concern. Educators like John Abramson, MD, author of Overdosed America, have clearly documented that vested interests skew medical school education, medical research, medical journal publication, and clinical practice guidelines. When guidelines become mandatory or coercive, which is the current direction the government and insurers are taking, it gives vested interests a chance directly to control medical care. All Americans deserve an objective assessment of their potential treatment options in order to make an informed decision about their health.

CDC Coverup: Politics often overwhelms reality

2009-04-13T13:11:00.000-04:00

Health agency covered up lead harm

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention withheld evidence that contaminated tap water caused lead poisoning in kids.

By Rebecca Renner, Salon.com

April 10, 2009 | From 2001 to 2004, Washington, D.C., experienced what may have been the worst lead contamination of city water on record. Tens of thousands of homes had sky-high levels of lead at the tap, and in the worst cases, tap water contained enough lead to be classified as hazardous waste. Not that the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the government oversight agency for public health, was worried.

A 2004 CDC report found that water contamination "might have contributed a small increase in blood lead levels." The study has been influential. School officials in New York and Seattle have used the CDC report as justification for not aggressively responding to high levels of lead in their water, and other cities have cited the report to dispel concerns about lead in tap water.

But the results of thousands of blood tests that measured lead contamination in children were missing from the report, potentially skewing the findings and undermining public health. Further, the CDC discovered in 2007 that many young children living in D.C. homes with lead pipes were poisoned by drinking water and suffered ill effects. Parents wondered whether the water could have caused speech and balance problems, difficulty with learning, and hyperactivity. Yet the health agency did not publicize the new findings or alert public health authorities in D.C. or other federal agencies that regulate lead, such as the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency or Housing and Urban Development...

The House Science and Technology Committee Investigations and Oversight Subcommittee is beginning an investigation into CDC's handling of the D.C. lead crisis. Subcommittee chair Brad Miller, D-N.C., wrote the CDC on March 13, requesting all "records that indicate possible, probable or actual forgery, fabrication or other intentional misrepresentation of data," concerning lead in the water.

Most disease can be cured or prevented through alternative medicine

2009-03-21T06:31:00.003-04:00

'Alternative' Medicine Is Mainstream
The evidence is mounting that diet and lifestyle are the best cures for our worst afflictions.

By DEEPAK CHOPRA , DEAN ORNISH , RUSTUM ROY and ANDREW WEIL

In mid-February, the Institute of Medicine of the National Academy of Sciences and the Bravewell Collaborative are convening a "Summit on Integrative Medicine and the Health of the Public." This is a watershed in the evolution of integrative medicine, a holistic approach to health care that uses the best of conventional and alternative therapies such as meditation, yoga, acupuncture and herbal remedies. Many of these therapies are now scientifically documented to be not only medically effective but also cost effective.

President-elect Barack Obama and former Sen. Tom Daschle (the nominee for Secretary of Health and Human Services) understand that if we want to make affordable health care available to the 45 million Americans who do not have health insurance, then we need to address the fundamental causes of health and illness, and provide incentives for healthy ways of living rather than reimbursing only drugs and surgery.

Heart disease, diabetes, prostate cancer, breast cancer and obesity account for 75% of health-care costs, and yet these are largely preventable and even reversible by changing diet and lifestyle. As Mr. Obama states in his health plan, unveiled during his campaign: "This nation is facing a true epidemic of chronic disease. An increasing number of Americans are suffering and dying needlessly from diseases such as obesity, diabetes, heart disease, asthma and HIV/AIDS, all of which can be delayed in onset if not prevented entirely."

Vaccine contamined with Avian Flu virus

Baxter: Vax products contained bird flu virus
March 11, 2009 � 2:28pm ET | By Calisha Myers

Deerfield, IL-based Baxter International has confirmed that vaccine shipments sent to subcontractors in Czech Republic, Slovenia and Germany were contaminated with live H5N1 avian flu viruses. The contaminated product, which Baxter calls "experimental virus material," was a mix of H3N2 seasonal flu viruses and H5N1 viruses produced at the company's research facility in Orth-Donau. The problem was discovered when ferrets inoculated with the experimental mix died. Baxter was notified on February 6, but has kept quiet about the details surrounding the mix-up, the Canadian Press reports.

"At this juncture we are confident in saying that public health and occupational risk is minimal at present," medical officer Roberta Andraghetti said. "But what remains unanswered are the circumstances surrounding the incident in the Baxter facility in Orth-Donau."

According to the Sun, Christopher Bona, said in an email that the release of the product was a result of a combination of "just the process itself, (and) technical and human error in this procedure" and the company has taken steps to make sure it doesn't happen again. The Canadian Press reports that Bona has said that the contaminated product was not a vaccine and was developed for testing in animals only. Austrian authorities have audited operations at the facility and are satisfied with the corrective actions taken. Baxter has also worked with the subcontractors to help them destroy the contaminated products and clean up their facilities. Staff exposed to the products were offered Tamiflu and assessed by infectious disease doctors, the company tells the Canadian Press.

While H5N1 doesn't easily infect humans, the H3N2 vaccine can. As the Sun points out, someone infected with both strains could serve as an incubator for reassortment, producing a hybrid virus able to transmit easily among people. But according to Andraghetti, there is no evidence reassortment occurred. "And we have no evidence of any increased transmissibility of the viruses that were involved in the experiment with the ferrets in the Czech Republic," she added.

Hadoscan: An Exciting New Technology

2009-01-06T22:25:00.004-05:00

We are constantly researching new technologies at the Frequency Foundation and the Hadoscan is a very interesting tool for scanning the body all the way down to the cellular level. Photoanalysis can then determine frequencies that can alter scan results in a positive way.

See news item:

hadoscan is a bio-informational analysis system capable of visualizing patterns of information inbalances in the energetic human body. The system can assist in the reestablishment of a healthy information balance in clients.

hadoscan can accurately investigate the current level of informational regulation of the body's biofield and its subtle energetic pathways in the tissues. Clients have the opportunity to learn about the nature of existing imbalances and investigate which strategies will be the best to achieve a desired outcome.

hadoscan is based on the application of quantum regulatory effects occuring within biological systems. Every organ and cell has its own distinctive oscillation or wave frequency pattern. These vibratory signatures have been stored digitally in hadoscan's extensive database as graphically reproducible and comparable (resonance) information.

Each graph is a symbolic representation of the information exchange (resonance)between a specific energetic tissues of healthy individuals and is classified by their age and gender for comparison with a client's profile at the time of the investigation.

Running Reduces Risk of Death More Than 50%

Reduced Disability and Mortality Among Aging Runners
A 21-Year Longitudinal Study

Eliza F. Chakravarty, MD, MS; Helen B. Hubert, PhD; Vijaya B. Lingala, PhD; James F. Fries, MD

Arch Intern Med. 2008;168(15):1638-1646

Background Exercise has been shown to improve many health outcomes and well-being of people of all ages. Long-term studies in older adults are needed to confirm disability and survival benefits of exercise.

Methods Annual self-administered questionnaires were sent to 538 members of a nationwide running club and 423 healthy controls from northern California who were 50 years and older beginning in 1984. Data included running and exercise frequency, body mass index, and disability assessed by the Health Assessment Questionnaire Disability Index (HAQ-DI; scored from 0 [no difficulty] to 3 [unable to perform]) through 2005. A total of 284 runners and 156 controls completed the 21-year follow-up. Causes of death through 2003 were ascertained using the National Death Index. Multivariate regression techniques compared groups on disability and mortality.

Results At baseline, runners were younger, leaner, and less likely to smoke compared with controls. The mean (SD) HAQ-DI score was higher for controls than for runners at all time points and increased with age in both groups, but to a lesser degree in runners (0.17 [0.34]) than in controls (0.36 [0.55]) (P < .001). Multivariate analyses showed that runners had a significantly lower risk of an HAQ-DI score of 0.5 (hazard ratio, 0.62; 95% confidence interval, 0.46-0.84). At 19 years, 15% of runners had died compared with 34% of controls. After adjustment for covariates, runners demonstrated a survival benefit (hazard ratio, 0.61; 95% confidence interval, 0.45-0.82). Disability and survival curves continued to diverge between groups after the 21-year follow-up as participants approached their ninth decade of life.

Conclusion Vigorous exercise (running) at middle and older ages is associated with reduced disability in later life and a notable survival advantage.

XDR-TB: Tuberculosis Frequencies Version 2.0 by Jeff Sutherland is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution-Noncommercial-Share Alike 3.0 United States License. Based on a work at frequencyfoundation.com.

All frequencies are based on original research on thousands of people, animals, microscopic slides, and high-resolution digital photos and microscopic images of the actual organisms. The Frequency Foundation database contains many gigabytes of original raw frequency data from a decade of research and these data are researched and refined to continually update frequency sets. For questions, errors, or omissions contact: info@frequencyfoundation.com. Frequencies are for research purposes only and may be helpful, harmful, or ineffective depending on how they are used. These programs may generate negative side effects in the form of Herxheimer reactions or other phenomenon and are only to be used by other researchers for experimentation at their own risk.

Upgrade to Version 2.2

Ongoing research added another strain of XDB-TB and parasites associated with this organism.

Upgrade to Version 2.0

The New York Times recently provided new photos on a case of drug resistant tuberculosis that are useful for enhancing the tuberculosis frequency set. Many cases have been examined by the Frequency Foundation through electronic media and all cases have the same virus associated with the tuberculosis organism. This virus has been added to the frequency set. It appears that a number of persistent bacteria harbor a virus that helps protect them by reducing immune function and, in this case, reducing respiratory function. Fortunately, it is remarkably easy to eliminate this complex of organisms with frequencies.

From the point of view of frequency research, XDR-TB, MDR-TB, and TB are very different organisms. Each is included in the attached frequency set. There may be additional strains and there may be other helper viruses. That is a topic for future research when modifications are needed to eliminate new strains of the organisms.

In the 1980�s, after spending many years as a professor at the University of Colorado School of Medicine, it was clear that drug technology is a 1940�s technology that will not take us into the future. Suppression of innovation in medicine by business interests has assured that we will not have the technology of the future until enough people die unnecessarily that people start demanding something different. For example, I recently suggested to a physician at one of the world's largest non-profit organizations trying to eradicate tuberculosis and malaria that they try some frequency work. I was told if they experimented with frequency devices they would lose all their grants. Innovation is being systematically suppressed by your government and your physicians are living in fear of losing their livelihoods.

Imagine if IBM has been able to suppress chip innovation. We would have to build a laptop with vacuum tubes and use a truck to haul it around. This is the situation we are in with drugs. Innovation in electronics can completely replace drugs. The healing tool of the future will be our laptop or smartphone. It will have a database for frequency transmission that can emulate any drug. Frequency Foundation is already using technologies that detect and prevent disease before you even know you have it.

It would be an excellent idea to experiment with and gain an understanding of how to use the tuberculosis frequencies with the many Rife technologies widely available on the market. Because about 1/3 of the population has latent infections with tuberculosis organisms, you may need to eliminate a ticking time bomb that can erupt when your immune system is suppressed for any reason.

It will take a worldwide grass roots movement to eliminate XDR:TB so I am releasing the frequencies under a Creative Commons License that allows anyone to use them for non-commercial purposes with attribution.

Global Scaling Theory

2008-12-04T06:05:00.002-05:00

Frequency Foundation is constantly researching new technology devices, particularly scalar technology systems that can project frequencies at a distance. To understand how these work requires some serious study of scalar systems.

What is it?

Copied part AW-Verlag website text:

With the aid of the so called Mueller fractal it is possible to find comprehensive views and conclusions about

Mass distribution of the universe
cause of forces like gravitation, electromagnetism, etc.
the essence of time,
preferred and avoided dimension ranges of nature for example for lengths, frequencies, temperatures, etc.,
distribution of prime numbers
interaction with DNA

The basic assumption of the theory appears very simple. In opposite to the - usually in science used - linear scales for many different physical properties, the theory of Global-Scaling assumes, that the natural scale is not linear but in first approximation logarithmic and in second approximations fractal and hyperbolic.

New Lyme Frequenices - Version 6.2

2008-11-23T10:22:00.005-05:00

The American Lyme Disease Foundation publishes a map of Lyme disease risk showing the gradual spread of Lyme disease across the United States. Over 50% of the people I now test are positive for Lyme organisms, although many of them may temporarily be asymptomatic. Merck researchers observe Lyme mycoplasma in over 95% of the population.

Lyme disease is unlike any other syndrome on the planet. Alternative practitioners note that it is more difficult to treat than cancer. The reason for this is that it is a complex of thousands of viruses, parasites, fungi, mycoplasma, and other organisms. There is enough published circumstantial evidence to conclude that it is designed to be undetectable in the early stages, untreatable, and eventually, permanently disabling. It is also gets worse if treatment is attempted, a phenomenon observed in the Herxheimer reactions noted by those who try to treat their Lyme disease. Frequencies need to be carefully designed to avoid these reactions as much as possible.

During 1991-2002, the reported incidence of Lyme disease nearly doubled. Most cases continued to occur in northeastern, mid-atlantic, and north-central states, and the largest population of cases continued to be reported among persons aged 5-9 years and 50-59 years, possibly as a result of greater exposure than other groups to infected ticks, less frequent use of personal protective measures, differential use of health-care services, and/or reporting bias. For additional information, visit CDC's web site at http://www.cdc.gov/ncidod/dvbid/lyme/index.htm.

Analysis of hundreds of people and animals with Lyme disease have produced the latest Frequency Foundation Lyme Disease Version document which has now grown to a small book of over 100 pages. In the latest version, frequencies are published in ready to run F165 programs which can be modified to run on any device. The frequency set is certainly not finished as new Lyme organisms or updates to older frequencies are discovered on a daily basis.

Lastest Upgrade to Lyme Frequencies

Refinement of frequency sets are based on work with hundreds of people and animals on a daily basis for many years. Several new programs and major updates to previous programs are included in the latest version:

� Lyme heart viruses � a group of Lyme viruses tend to proliferate in the heart and cause pain and palpitations in some individuals.
� Lyme stealth organisms � certain organisms take years to detect and are very persistent. Some of them have crippling effects. These have been packaged into a separate program.
� Lyme insects � funded research on insect frequencies has led to the creation of a Lyme insect program. Most of these frequencies are tick frequencies.

In addition, previous programs contain hundreds of new frequencies.

� Lyme mycoplasma � the core of Lyme disease is a mycoplasma bioengineered from weapons grade brucella at Plum Island laboratories [1].
� Lyme viruses � many of these are crippling. Many of the most dangerous viruses in the world were brought to Plum Island for experimentation, the Rift Valley virus from Africa, for example.
� Lyme babesia � there are hundreds of strains of the babesia parasite.
� Lyme parasites � there are many other parasites, many of which are released after killing babesia
� Lyme cells � the Lyme mycoplasma get inside cells and cause genetic mutation. These aberrated cells often cause pain and some can progress to cancer.
� Lyme bacteria � many of the bacteria in Lyme emit neurotoxins. These are what physicians typically treat with antibiotics. Paradoxically, these are the easiest to eliminate with frequencies. Lyme is a much bigger problem than spirochetes which many have discovered after their physician pronounced them cured.
� Lyme rickettsia � variants of this organism cause Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever and other diseases.
� Lyme fungus � these are very difficult to get rid of without frequencies. Some produce toxins which get into cyclic biochemical pathways that prevent elimination without frequencies or special treatment.
� Proteus mirabilis � another pathogen always found in Lyme.
� Gnathastoma spinigerum � another pathogen always found in Lyme.

While sets of the Lyme frequencies can be manually run on any device, they are best run with programmable frequency generators like the F100 series from Atelier Robin due to the length of the programs. Frequency octaves can be created for any device as described in the documentaiton

Fluoride/Human IQ Studies

2008-11-11T01:47:00.003-05:00

23 published studies report an association of reduced IQ with high fluoride exposure. Click here for complete summary.

In the summer of 2008, the following two reports reviewed the published studies reporting an association of high fluoride exposure and reduced IQ. The fluoride levels in water in these studies range from 0.88 � 9.4 ppm.

Connett M, Limeback H.

Tang Q-Q, Du J, Ma H-H, Jiang S-J, Zhou X-J.
Fluoride and Children�s Intelligence: A Meta-analysis.
Biol Trace Elem Res. 2008 Aug 10. 2008.

The Tang et al. study cites 16 studies, including 5 Chinese studies that we did not know about. FAN plans to have them translated.

The Connett & Limeback review, published prior to Tang et al., found 18 out of 20 studies reporting an association to fluoride exposure and lowered IQ.

The citations for the 23 studies are listed on the FAN site with links to the Chinese and translated versions.

The Fluoride journal published 6 of the translated Chinese studies on fluoride's impact on IQ in its April-June 2008 edition (Qin-1990, Chen-1991, Guo-1991, Liu-2000, Hong-2001, Li-2003) and will publish more translated studies in later editions.

Twelve (12) the human/IQ studies were originally published in Chinese. Julian Brooke translated these studies into English under contract with Fluoride Action Network.

In their review of the toxicology of fluoride, the committee who authored the 2006 National Research Council of the National Academies report on fluoride (NRC), cited only 3 of the 23 studies in its 'Findings on Human Cognitive Abilities', and cited 6 of the 23 studies in its references (Yang et al., 1994; Li et al., 1995; Lin et al., 1991; Zhao et al., 1996; Lu et al., 2000; Xiang et al., 2003). 5 studies (including one untranslated Chinese study) were published after the NRC was released. The NRC report stated:

Human Cognitive Abilities.
In assessing the potential health effects of fluoride at 2-4 mg/L, the committee found three studies of human populations exposed at those concentrations in drinking water that were useful for informing its assessment of potential neurologic effects. These studies were conducted in different areas of China, where fluoride concentrations ranged from 2.5 to 4 mg/L. Comparisons were made between the IQs of children from those populations with children exposed to lower concentration of fluoride ranging from 0.4 to 1 mg/L. The studies reported that while modal IQ scores were unchanged, the average IQ scores were lower in the more highly exposed children. This was due to fewer children in the high IQ range. While the studies lacked sufficient detail for the committee to fully assess their quality and their relevance to U.S. populations, the consistency of the collective results warrant additional research on the effects of fluoride on intelligence. Investigation of other mental and physiological alterations reported in the case study literature, including mental confusion and lethargy, should also be investigated.
Ref: bottom of page 220 to page 221

The NRC report also stated:

On the basis of information largely derived from histological, chemical, and molecular studies, it is apparent that fluorides have the ability to interfere with the functions of the brain and the body by direct and indirect means. To determine the possible adverse effects of fluoride, additional data from both the experimental and the clinical sciences are needed.

University of Arizona researchers kill viruses with frequencies

Vibrational Medicine: Scientists Kill Viruses by Blasting them with Resonant Frequencies
Thursday, August 14, 2008 by: David Gutierrez

(NaturalNews) Physicists at Arizona State University say they have developed a method to calculate the exact frequency that it would take to shake a virus to death, according to an article published in the journal Physical Review Letters.

Researchers have discovered that when viruses are bombarded with laser pulses of the right frequency, they shake apart. This arises from an inherent characteristic of all objects called a "resonant frequency," which is the frequency at which an object naturally vibrates.

Resonant frequencies are the key to stringed instruments, in which a string of a certain material, thickness and length has a resonant frequency that produces a specific musical note. But resonant frequencies can also cause objects to shake so uncontrollably that their stability is undermined, as when a wind shook the Tacoma Narrows Bridge at its resonant frequency in 1940, causing it to collapse.

Because the shell of a single virus can contain millions of atoms, it is difficult to calculate a given virus' resonant frequency except by trial and error. But in the current study, researchers successfully calculated the resonant frequency of a simple satellite tobacco necrosis virus. The next step for the researchers is to determine if the same technique will work for other, more complex viruses.

Minerals are Essential for Frequency Work

2008-08-30T17:54:00.004-04:00

Reading an article recently on mineral depletion in our soils and in the population, the claim was made that half the men in the United States are sterile because of mineral depletion in our food. Historically, there are civilizations which have died out because of this. Whether this claim is true or not, it did start me testing for my own mineral depletion and those I work with. In general, most people seem to have a significant shortage of trace minerals in their bodies.

I then tested a number of mineral supplements and found them not likely to be helpful. One of them proved to be useful, ConcenTrace Trace Minerals Drops, 10 drops twice a day in water (which is less than what is recommended on the package). You can get them at Whole Foods or most healthfood stores and in many places on the web.

Another product that has been recommended is ORMES Super-Conductive Ionic Minerals. The type of supplement that is best depends on the person and their nutritive state. So you may test positive for one and not the other. Again, accurate kinesthesiology testing is simple and essential.

For those doing research on frequency effects, it is essential to use Transfer Factor to pump up your immune system along with trace mineral supplements to get the results you expect to achieve.

Malaria: Evolutionary Biology

2008-08-30T12:51:00.003-04:00

The malaria parasite is easily killed by electromagnetic frequencies and there are a number of small pilot projects using zappers in Africa. I've talked with some of the larger nonprofits about expanding these studies as I have seen 100% remission consistently with a few hours of application of exact frequencies. However, the response has been that if a non-profit research institute looked at anything other than commercial drugs they would get all their grants terminated. Unfortunately, it is all about the money.

Nevertheless, it is important to keep up with the latest research on malaria as frequencies can also modify protein production. Virulent forms of this and other diseases (particular viral infections) can kill by evoking an overwhelming immune response. Thus frequencies must modulate immune response through reducing certain protein production as well as kill the pathogen. Those who are intelligent enough to use this technology can at least protect themselves.

Abstract
The pathogenesis of severe malarial disease is not yet fully understood. It is clear that host immunopathology plays a central role, and a recent paper in BMC Evolutionary Biology suggests that the ability of the parasite to stimulate interleukin-10 production is a major factor and speculates on its impact on the coevolution of host and parasite.

Minireview
Plasmodium falciparum malaria is responsible for over 1 million deaths each year, mostly in children under the age of 5 living in sub-Saharan Africa. And yet the number of malaria infections which go on to become life threatening is proportionally very small, as the majority of these infections either remain asymptomatic (due to the acquisition of clinical but non-sterile immunity after repeated exposure) or progress to disease without lethal complications [1]. Viewed in an evolutionary context, the existence of severe disease presents a population-level compromise for the parasite between the necessity of bearing factors that increase survival and transmission and the risk that these will stimulate a host immune response that will either curtail the infection or perversely cause the death of the host (thus also spelling the end for the parasite). With the aim of identifying factors that may be relevant in the evolution of this balance, Long et al. in a recent article in BMC Evolutionary Biology [2] have investigated the influence of the inflammatory response on the severity of disease in a rodent model of malaria, and we discuss here how their results may bear on the coevolution of parasite and host, in the context of what is known about the determinants of severe malarial disease in humans.
Factors in the severity of malaria

Severe malaria can be resolved broadly into two different syndromes: cerebral malaria and severe malarial anemia. Cerebral malaria is associated with impaired consciousness and sometimes convulsions and coma, and can leave those who recover with long-term neurological problems. Its pathophysiology is not fully understood but it is probably due to a combination of the obstruction of cerebral capillaries by parasitized cells and an overactive inflammatory response. Severe malarial anemia occurs when the suppression of erythrocyte production, combined with the destruction of red blood cells by the parasite itself, leads to a particularly profound anemia � which can cause shock and respiratory distress. Both syndromes can involve a range of metabolic complications such as acidosis or hypoglycemia [3].

Both host and parasite factors are likely to contribute to the processes leading to severe disease, and Long et al. have examined one possible interaction using mice infected with different clones of the rodent malaria parasite Plasmodium chabaudi chabaudi. Specifically, they have shown that blockade of the receptor for the anti-inflammatory cytokine interleukin-10 (IL-10) has a dramatic impact on time to death of the infected animal, particularly where the infecting parasite clones are normally avirulent. This result certainly implies that IL-10 plays a fundamental role in controlling the inflammatory response to malaria and that its absence can contribute to the demise of the murine host; Long et al. propose that the ability of the parasite to stimulate IL-10 production is a factor determining its relative virulence. However, whether regulation of the inflammatory response by IL-10 actually plays a part in the evolution of parasite virulence remains an open question and requires a careful consideration of the population-level consequences of interactions between host susceptibility and parasite virulence factors.

Ingrid Naiman on the Population Problem

Egg is the midst of blood cells

Occasionally, a ecologically oriented article is so well written that it deserves wider distribution. Ingrid Naiman has sent me many high resolution photos of her clients blood over the years to determine frequencies for pathogens clearly visible in the blood sample. It is very strange to be staring at something that looks clearly like it was bioengineered. There is a lot more going on than the average person realizes in their blood. The medical community would rather that patients not look at their blood. Remember in the middle ages, the church decreed that parishioners should not read the bible, as they might pick up some erroneous ideas! Well they were right, and Martin Luther started a revolution that is still going on. Let's hope for the same thing in medicine after people start analyzing their blood samples ...

Dear Subscribers,

There was practically no reaction to the article on Malthus but then, it was not about elephants painting!

If the recent post urging you to watch the Len Horowitz video and read the article did not motivate you, perhaps you will see the purpose when you read the news from Brazil:

http://www.lifesitenews.com/ldn/2008/aug/08081407.html

or closer to home, here's something on Gardasil:

http://www.yourlawyer.com/topics/overview/gardasil_side_effects

At the risk of pushing buttons and getting emails telling me to write more on health, I feel prompted to use a little more persuasion than usual to urge you to understand the magnitude of the problems we face.

There are areas of economics that bleed into politics and unfortunately, there is far too much overlap between health and government. On a national or global level, a program that yields x percent of the desired results may be adopted because it's good enough for political purposes.

Okay, let's be concrete. If the issue is population and there are political forces who subscribe to the view that the world is overpopulated, they will look for ways to reduce population. Being politicians, they will consider the usual options, none of them humane: wars, famine, and disease. When orchestrated from the top, they are merely different forms of genocide, but they are instruments used by those with power to control what they perceive as problems. Unfortunately, those submitting recommendations usually have something to gain: they sell the weapons or the chemicals or the "medicines" that are going to be used to commit atrocities in the name of necessity or nationalism or self preservation.

As I brought out in the article, China tried to protect its people from international meddling in its domestic affairs by implementing the one child per family policy. Where religious pressures permitted, other countries developed family planning initiatives and many went the route of legalizing abortion.

For political purposes, the method of control used does not matter unless the government is regulated by conscience or sensitivity to perceptions. For personal purposes, a method that is partially acceptable might not be adequate. Let me make this graphic. Years ago I met a woman who said she had eight children by eight different methods of birth control failure. Okay, we can all have a little laugh at her expense, but the truth is we are unlikely to meet another person with a story like this. If a method is 80% reliable, a government might adopt it if it is cheap and easy to teach; however, a responsible couple will probably look for a method that is 100% dependable.

My point is simply that governments worldwide are on board with Malthusian fears and all are meddling in decisions that ought to be private . . . and unless you know this, you are very apt to become a victim.

War: The rest of the world has known for a long time that the events of 9/11 could not possibly have occurred in the manner suggested by officialdom and its cohorts in mass media who are funded by advertisements from the same companies that pad the pockets of politicians. Even, in the U.S., it is also becoming increasingly clear that at least some lies were told.

For instance, the war in Afghanistan was planned in July and scheduled for October so its only real connection to 9/11 was that it was "justified" to the public because of 9/11. This is not conspiracy theory. Jack Straw stated this as such and Tony Blair answered questions in Parliament about this issue. It simply doesn't get press here.

The point for bringing this up is merely that unprovoked war was planned, without your consent but using public resources. In short, in the guns or butter choice, the vote went for guns. You get GMO margarine. In the matter of who ends up with the resources after they are redistributed, a very good argument can be made for pirates, aka Halliburton, Exxon-Mobile, Carlyle Group, etc., etc., etc.

However, it is not just your money and national honor, it is your sons and daughters and the sons and daughters of the Afghanis. If there are fewer people, there are fewer hands demanding the spoils of war and thus, most likely, more benefit to the rich and powerful. On the level important to the planners, war works.

Famine: GMO crops, weather manipulation, loss of bees, use of land for growing biofuels instead of food, toxins in food, mad cow disease, import regulations, and obstruction in transport systems and is not "natural" and it is not happening because Nature has turned against us. It is happening either because of gross mismanagement or policies conceived in the minds of people with the power required to turn their malevolence into action.

Disease: fraudulent medicine, suppression of authentic treatments, bioweapons, and genetic manipulation are just a few of the concerns and the problems have nothing whatsoever to do with lack of understanding of health or the need for multi-billion dollar wars on germs or diseases.

Because war, famine, and disease are all traditional instruments of political measures to control population, the "justifiable", "natural", and "epidemiological" factors associated with these "enterprises" are weakened to the point of irrelevancy. By this, I mean, if wars were only fought to protect the home turf or if famines only occurred because of cataclysmic natural events such as ice ages or volcanic upheaval or locusts or drought, "natural" would have meaning, but most famine today is either intentional or due to massive negligence. Likewise, were it not for the policies and practices of big money, medicine would be safe and reliable. We know this is not the case so it has to also be intentional.

The cure for the problem is personal action. It's important to take actions that diminish the risks of unconscionable politics. We always start where our hearts are, looking after those we love and hopefully, there is a ripple effect that sets off more conscious action. Since we are clueless about our food, it's best to grow our own and/or buy from local farmers we can trust . . . or from cooperatives that take their responsibilities to their fellow members seriously.

For health, you really have to educate yourself because system is not going to help you escape from its clutches. We have all been indoctrinated to believe that there is something miraculous and super powerful about anything new or modern, but the fact of the matter is that each of us is here today because our forebears found a way to survive challenges to existence and they relied entirely on methods we would now consider archaic. It's important not to fall for the notion that archaic and obsolete have the same meaning. Traditional, ancient, and archaic may mean "tried and true" as opposed to experimental and promising.

I will get tired of writing these posts just as you tire of reading them, but please have your antennae stretched as far as possible.

Many blessings,

Ingrid

Frequencies help Alzheimers's

2008-08-23T19:17:00.003-04:00

www.linklane.com/a/alzhiemers_disease.htm

A Senior Producer at NPR forwarded this Reuter's press release to me on a clinical trial showing stimulation of the brain by frequencies in Alzheimer's patients was as good or better than some drugs. Surprise!

I've had limited experience with Alzheimer's. However, the family of one client had me stop by and I detected a virus in the brain. Applying frequencies for this immediately popped the elderly person out of a comotose state.

There are several mechanisms that may be at at work here. They may be affecting pathogens, stimulating the elimination of toxins (particularly metals), stimulating brain cell function, or a combination of all of the above. They don't provide the frequencies in the press release so there is not enough data to show what they were really doing.

Brain stimulation improves memory in Alzheimer's
By Will Boggs, MD

NEW YORK (Reuters Health) - Electrical stimulation of the brain may improve memory and recognition in elderly people who suffer from Alzheimer's disease, results of a study hint.

"Our preliminary data on Alzheimer's disease patients are promising as we observed beneficial effects after a single session of transcranial direct current stimulation," Dr. Alberto Priori from the University of Milan told Reuters Health, "suggesting that chronic daily application might induce even greater improvement."

"Our studies encourage broader research programs using different stimulation protocols and longer clinical follow-up to clarify the impact this therapy might have on patients' daily functional activities," Priori added.

Priori and colleagues investigated whether electrical stimulation applied over an area at the side of the brain called the temporoparietal cortex could improve recognition memory in 10 patients with Alzheimer's disease.

The treatment significantly improved word recognition memory accuracy, they found report, whereas sham treatment had no impact on memory. The results were similar after correcting memory performance for guessing, the report indicates.

"Interestingly," the investigators say, the electrical stimulation-induced improvement in the word recognition test in patients with Alzheimer's disease is comparable to the 16 percent improvement induced by long-term treatment with cholinesterase inhibitors - drugs currently used to treat early memory problems in patients with dementia.

"We are assessing possible long-lasting effects of (electrical stimulation) in Alzheimer's disease patients using repeated session protocols in a larger sample with longer clinical follow-up," Priori said.

"We believe that the best results, especially in Alzheimer's disease patients, could be obtained by combining transcranial direct current stimulation with cognitive rehabilitation," Priori added.

Flouride makes your children stupid!

Chinese Studies Showing Fluoride Lowers IQ Available in Translation
7/10/2008, IAOMT News and Flouride Action Network

While dentists in the US continue to treat fluoride as if it only effects one tissue in the body (the teeth), researchers around the world continue to study fluoride's effects on other areas in the body. Of particular concern is a growing number of studies suggesting that fluoride can interfere with the brain, particularly the developing brain of the fetus, infant, and toddler.

In 2006, the US National Research Council (NRC) provided a much-needed wake up call with an excellent summary of the available literature on fluoride. According to the NRC, "it is apparent that fluorides have the ability to interfere with the functions of the brain."

In its review, the NRC examined the studies showing an association between fluoride and reduced IQ in children and concluded that "the consistency of the results appears significant enough to warrant additional research on the effects of fluoride on intelligence." Since the NRC review was released, 4 additional studies on fluoride and IQ have been published -- from Mexico, Iran, India, and China.

A Wealth of "New" Data

In addition, an investigation last year by Fluoride Action Network revealed that there are many important studies on fluoride and the brain which the NRC was unable to review because they have only been available in Chinese. To help get these studies in the hands of western scientists and government regulators, FAN paid to have them translated and has worked to get them published in an English-language journal.

We are extremely happy to announce, therefore, that 12 of the studies that FAN paid to get translated have just been published in the journal Fluoride (with more translations expected to be published in the coming months) -- marking the first time these studies (with one exception) have ever seen the light of day in an English-language journal.

The studies published this week - available online at http://www.fluorideresearch.org -- (click on Fluoride 2008;41(2):97-172 for April-June 2008) provide a wealth of additional data confirming fluoride's ability to damage brain development. As noted in an introduction by Dr. Albert W. Burgstahler, Editor of Fluoride, the studies "are of great importance worldwide for a fuller understanding of how fluoride can affect neurological development, function, and performance."

For example, a 1996 study by researchers at Guiyang Medical College (Yu 1996) details how fluoride exposure among pregnant mothers can disrupt the synthesis of neurotransmitters and receptors in the brain cells of the fetus. Such effects could lead to long-lasting defects in brain function after birth.

Another study details how infants born to mothers with a history of high fluoride exposure exhibit differences in neuro-behavioral function shortly after birth, including delayed reaction to visual and auditory stimulus (Li 2004). According to the authors: "The present observations indicate that fluoride, as a toxic material to nerve development, can have an adverse impact on the neurobehavioral development of neonates."

Other studies include five additional human studies showing a correlation between elevated fluoride intake and reduced intelligence in children (Li 2003; Hong 2001; Guo 1991; Chen 1991; Qin 1990), along with two animal studies finding that fluoride produces "considerable deterioration" in the learning and memory abilities of mice (Sun 2000; Zhang 1999).

AIMS: The debate on the funding and availability of cytotoxic drugs raises questions about the contribution of curative or adjuvant cytotoxic chemotherapy to survival in adult cancer patients.

MATERIALS AND METHODS: We undertook a literature search for randomised clinical trials reporting a 5-year survival benefit attributable solely to cytotoxic chemotherapy in adult malignancies. The total number of newly diagnosed cancer patients for 22 major adult malignancies was determined from cancer registry data in Australia and from the Surveillance Epidemiology and End Results data in the USA for 1998. For each malignancy, the absolute number to benefit was the product of (a) the total number of persons with that malignancy; (b) the proportion or subgroup(s) of that malignancy showing a benefit; and (c) the percentage increase in 5-year survival due solely to cytotoxic chemotherapy. The overall contribution was the sum total of the absolute numbers showing a 5-year survival benefit expressed as a percentage of the total number for the 22 malignancies.

RESULTS: The overall contribution of curative and adjuvant cytotoxic chemotherapy to 5-year survival in adults was estimated to be 2.3% in Australia and 2.1% in the USA.

CONCLUSION: As the 5-year relative survival rate for cancer in Australia is now over 60%, it is clear that cytotoxic chemotherapy only makes a minor contribution to cancer survival. To justify the continued funding and availability of drugs used in cytotoxic chemotherapy, a rigorous evaluation of the cost-effectiveness and impact on quality of life is urgently required.
