This latest fiasco should be reason enough to finally repeal the disastrous bill once and for all and replace it with free-market, competition-oriented health insurance solutions.

And while Americans in the exchanges who have no insurer choice are exempt from the law’s mandate to obtain coverage, it still results in them having no coverage after Democrats and President Obama promised repeatedly the law would always cover everyone.

As noted by Margot Sanger-Katz in The New York Times, portions of the country “are in jeopardy of not having an insurer offering Obamacare plans next year.” This disaster comes as many parts of the country now only have one insurer from which to choose, because a number of other major insurance firms like Aetna and Humana have already left the exchanges after losing hundreds of millions of dollars each since the law was enacted. (RELATED: In some parts of U.S., Obamacare insurer choice will drop to ZERO)

Initially, insurance companies backed the law because they believed that its requirement that everyone purchase a product they sold – health insurance – would be a boon to their businesses. After all, if you had a company that sold a product that the federal government mandated that Americans had to buy it, you’d probably back that law too.

Only, in practice, Obamacare’s exchanges never did live up to their promises. Most of the people who signed up were older or already had existing health problems (or both), and as that happened, plans became more and more expensive – which in turn drove younger, healthier people from the marketplaces.

As The National Sentinel noted, the next company set to bail on the exchanges is Anthem:

There are myriad problems with the law, which is now officially in its fourth year, that cannot be fixed and won’t be fixed under the current structure. Anthem is just the latest insurer to bail… Insurers bailing on exchanges and leaving millions with no choice will only make premium prices rise, thereby making coverage-in-name-only even more profound.

Sanger-Katz noted that if Anthem leaves the exchanges, those who will be most affected are people living in significant parts of Missouri, Georgia, Ohio, Kentucky and Colorado. “In places where no insurance company offers plans, there will be no way for Obamacare customers to use subsidies to buy health plans,” she wrote.

She pointed to a recent analysis that showed while many counties around the country have only one insurer, Anthem was the only insurer in the most counties.

On Saturday, President Donald J. Trump acknowledged the Times piece in a couple of tweets while pledging that “good things will happen, however, either with Republicans or Dems” – a reference to his still-valid pledge to repeal and replace Obamacare with whoever will support it:

 

Trump said in a tweet last week after House Republicans failed to hold a vote on what many viewed as a bad repeal-and-replace bill that the law was on the brink of collapse, and the Times piece appears to substantiate that. But Trump had said before that 2017 was going to be the worst year for the law – the same year, conveniently, its namesake, Barack Obama, left office. (RELATED: Obamacare REPEAL? It’s more like health care system COLLAPSE!)

Speaking of Obama, his party owns this disaster lock, stock and barrel. Yes, Republicans have thus far failed to repeal and replace the Affordable Care Act after promising for years to make it a priority once they had both Houses of Congress and the White House, however, they wouldn’t even have to tackle “health care reform” if the Democrats had not imposed this nightmare on the country, as a precursor to full-on, ‘Medicare for all,’ single-payer insurance – where government bureaucrats would decide who should and should not get certain treatments.

The implosion of Obamacare isn’t coming; it’s already here.

Health freedom under attack: 134 vaccine bills introduced in 35 states supporting forced vaccinations /healthfreedomnews/2017-03-03-health-freedom-under-attack-134-vaccine-bills-introduced-in-35-states-supporting-forced-vaccinations.html Fri, 03 Mar 2017 15:24:36 +0000 http://162.244.66.231/healthfreedomnews/2017-03-03-health-freedom-under-attack-134-vaccine-bills-introduced-in-35-states-supporting-forced-vaccinations.html A tidal wave of new bills has flooded 35 states in the U.S., threatening to either limit or completely eradicate vaccine exemptions. Clearly health freedom and informed consent is undergoing full frontal assualt right now. Please read, share, and take action accordingly.  

(Article by Jefferey Jaxen from GreenMedInfo.com)

In 2015 California signed into law the highly contested Senate Bill 277 (SB277) accomplishing two outcomes. First, the bill eliminated the personal belief exemption for vaccination. Second, the bill’s actionable directives served as a sobering wake up call that mobilized the public and medical community to enter the fight for an evaporating health freedom and informed consent.

Yet, despite multiple whistleblowers within the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) spotlighting research corruption and pharmaceutical industry collusion, over $3 billion dollars paid out in vaccine damages by the Vaccine Injury Compensation Program, widespread vaccine contamination, and overall ineffectiveness and dangers of the current vaccine schedule there has now been 134 vaccine bills introduced in 35 states in the first seven weeks of the US legislative session.

According to the National Vaccine Information Center’s (NVIC) Advocacy Teamwho track vaccine-related bills, 31 new bills have been added since the team’s last update two weeks prior. Eight of these new bills are in five states appearing for the first time. The coordinated legislative push represents nothing short of a full frontal onslaught by pharmaceutical companies, working through their lobbied politicians, to force dangerous vaccine products upon the backs of the entire US population.

Looking deeper into the tidal wave of vaccine-related legislation sees eight states, deemed “priority opposition alert states” by NVIC, proposing bills to restrict or eliminate vaccine exemptions altogether. Similar to California’s new normal thanks to SB277, legislators in Connecticut, Iowa, Minnesota, New York, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, Texas, and Utah are now hoping to remove and impede pillars of health freedom and parental choice.

HEALTH FREEDOM ALERT: The FDA assaults CBD extracts, attempts to regulate out of existence but industry pushes back (CORRECTION) /healthfreedomnews/2016-05-06-health-freedom-alert-the-fda-assaults-cbd-extracts-attempts-to-regulate-out-of-existence-but-industry-pushes-back-correction-learn-more-httpwww-naturalnews-com053369_cbd_hemp_oil_extract_fda.html Fri, 06 May 2016 07:07:07 +0000 http://162.244.66.231/healthfreedomnews/2016-05-06-health-freedom-alert-the-fda-assaults-cbd-extracts-attempts-to-regulate-out-of-existence-but-industry-pushes-back-correction-learn-more-httpwww-naturalnews-com053369_cbd_hemp_oil_extract_fda.html MAJOR CORRECTIONS: I’m issuing a huge correction / clarification to this story after speaking with people in the hemp industry. They’ve pointed out that my article, although posted with the best intentions to help keep CBDs legal and readily available, was freaking out CBD retailers who thought some sort of new law had been passed outlawing CBDs.

In no way did I intend to disrupt CBD retailers with that article! My only goal was to sound the alarm of how to FDA is attempting to destroy this entire industry, and help create a backlash that would keep natural medicine legal in America.

The FDA is trying to destroy the CBD industry with regulatory assaults, but the industry is pushing back (and the weight of the evidence and the science is on the side of the hemp industry). Nevertheless, the FDA is a formidable opponent and they can wage all sorts of regulatory assaults against natural substances they wish to regulate out of existence.

So I’ve decided to post a serious correction / clarification to this story to make sure nobody misreads what I’m asserting here, and I apologize for any misconstruing of my intention in posting this, which was to ALERT people to the regulatory assaults of the FDA that are trying to destroy the hemp extract industry. As a food scientist and natural medicine activist, I am 100% pro hemp, pro CBDs and pro plant medicine.

Essentially, my use of the term “outlawed” in the title of my original article was misconstrued. By “outlawed,” I meant the FDA essentially writes its own “regulatory laws” and has posted a clear statement on its own website which states that CBDs cannot be sold as a dietary supplement. This is a regulatory attack on hemp extracts, but it is not technically a law that was passed by Congress. I regret my choice of the word “outlawed”, and I will be more careful in my choice of words when covering this issue in the future. In the article below, I have replaced any reference to “outlawing” with the more accurate terminology of “regulating out of compliance” or similar language.

But make no mistake: Cannabidiol is on the target radar of the FDA, and they are waging a campaign of regulatory intimidation to try to destroy the marketplace. If they get their way, they will EFFECTIVELY outlaw CBDs via regulatory assaults. Their goal is the same: destroy the CBD marketplace.

My hope is that they fail in their efforts, of course.

Original story follows, with corrections as noted above

Hemp oil extracts containing CBDs (cannibidiols) are such a threat to the pharmaceutical industry that the FDA is now invoking totally insane justifications for outlawing them.

UPDATE: This article has caused a tremendous amount of discussion and a lot of disinformation is flying around, so I’m adding these notes for clarification.

One thing I’ve learned is that the people who sell CBD oil don’t even know there is more than one CBD molecule. Some have attacked me for using “cannabidiols” in a plural form, because they are ignorant of the full chemistry of CBD synthesis and molecular variants. Even wikipedia lists seven CBD molecular variations, each with its own name. They are named delta-5-cannabidiol, delta-4-cannabidiol, delta-3-cannabidiol, delta-3,7-cannabidiol, delta-2-cannabidiol, delta-1-cannabidiol and delta-6-cannabidiol. They share the same elements in their molecular composition, but they have variations in their double bonds, meaning they behave slightly differently when interacting with other molecules.

Secondly, the FDA did attempt to “regulate into non-compliance” CBDs as a dietary supplement. It’s printed right on the FDA’s own website: “12. Can products that contain cannabidiol be sold as dietary supplements? A. No. Based on available evidence, FDA has concluded that cannabidiol products are excluded from the dietary supplement definition…” The FDA has also started sending aggressive warning letters to CBD product marketers.

However, the industry is rightly pushing back against this unjustified regulatory classification by the FDA. In fact, the industry needs to push back even harder, or else the FDA will steamroll everyone…

Some of the people commenting on this article have said you can just sell CBDs as a “food” and not a dietary supplement. UPDATE: Efforts are under way to GRAS list cannabidiol with the FDA, but CBD is not currently GRAS listed, meaning it cannot be sold as a food without attracting regulatory scrutiny from the FDA. I spoke with a highly competent regulatory attorney who confirmed all this.

There is no question that some smaller companies are right now selling hemp oil with CBD content, but this does not mean such sales are immune from FDA regulatory prosecution (and intimidation attempts). The FDA tends to go after larger suppliers first, ignoring smaller suppliers due to its own limited resources. For this reason, smaller suppliers of CBD supplements or hemp oil products containing added CBDs may be able to continue selling such products for a very long time without facing regulatory action. Nevertheless, that regulatory risk is ever present and may be invoked at any time by the FDA to target that company and confiscate its products. Selective prosecution is one of the key regulatory weapons of all federal agencies. This is how they protect their pharma friends and punish the competition. This is why the hemp industry needs to push back HARD against the FDA!

CBDs are non-psychoactive compounds found naturally in hemp plants. They work so well as powerful natural medicine that people everywhere are realizing CBDs work better than pharmaceuticals for treating epilepsy, seizures, neurological disorders and other serious health conditions (including HIV infections).

So the FDA has just launched a massive regulatory assault against CBDs by invoking the most insane logic you’ve ever heard. Here’s how it goes:

1) CBDs work so well that drug companies are now investigating them to be approved by the FDA as medicines.

2) Because CBDs are being investigated by drug companies, the FDA has granted CBDs status as being “investigated as a new drug.” In the FDA’s own language from their website, “FDA considers a substance to be ‘authorized for investigation as a new drug’ if it is the subject of an Investigational New Drug application (IND) that has gone into effect.”

3) Because CBDs work so well and have been authorized for drug investigations, the FDA is now attempting to regulate them out of existence as dietary supplements. Per the FDA’s own website: “FDA has concluded that cannabidiol products are excluded from the dietary supplement definition under section 201(ff)(3)(B)(ii) of the FD&C Act. Under that provision, if a substance (such as cannabidiol) has been authorized for investigation as a new drug for which substantial clinical investigations have been instituted and for which the existence of such investigations has been made public, then products containing that substance are outside the definition of a dietary supplement.”

4) Now the FDA has begun sending warning letters to CBD makers, claiming they are in violation of FDA regulations because they are selling “adulterated products.” Adulterated with what, exactly? CBDs, of course! “The debate over hemp CBD’s legal status continues after FDA sent eight warning letters to manufacturers of CBD dietary supplement and food products earlier this month,” reports Nutritional Outlook. “The warning letters cite impermissible health claims used to market the products, as well as CBD’s invalid status as a dietary ingredient due to its presence in two drug applications currently under consideration.”

The FDA just criminalized one of the most miraculous healing medicines in the world by handing it over to Big Pharma

In other words, the FDA just handed Big Pharma an absolute monopoly over CBDs (hemp oil extract) by ridiculously claiming such natural products are “adulterated” with molecules (CBDs) that the FDA says might one day become a drug.

“Drugs,” according to the FDA, are substances that are proven to treat, prevent or cure a disease, and thus the FDA’s own logic admits that CBDs must be able to treat, prevent or cure diseases, otherwise they would be useless as “drugs”.

But when a dietary supplement company makes the same claim, they are hit with aggressive warning letters from the FDA, threatening to shut them down, confiscate their products and seek criminal prosecution of the company executives.

This is how the FDA can instantly criminalize any vitamin or plant extract

Do you see how this twisted, corrupt regulatory tactic can allow the FDA to instantly criminalize any dietary supplement, vitamin, herb or plant extract?

Vitamin D, for example, could be outlawed by the FDA announcing that it has granted “Investigational New Drug application (IND)” status to any drug company studying vitamin D.

Using this same corrupt, mafia-style tactic, the FDA could essentially “outlaw” resveratrol or even vitamin C, denying Americans the right to access safe, affordable, natural substances that are routinely found in nature.

It’s time to end the FDA’s monopolization over natural plant molecules

If humanity is ever to achieve medical freedom, we must end the FDA’s outrageous medical monopolization of plant molecules such as CBDs. By allowing this corrupt, criminally-run regulatory agency to criminalize every molecule found in nature, our nation’s lawmakers condemn us all to life in what can only be called medical totalitarianism under FDA tyranny.

Any time a healing substances is found in nature, the FDA can simply assert that such molecules are now in the process of being studied as drugs and are therefore illegal to sell as dietary supplements even though they were developed by Mother Nature, not drug companies.

This FDA tactic is nothing more than the FDA proclaiming intellectual monopolies over all molecules of interest found in nature. It is Monsanto-like in its arrogance and wickedness, and it deprives the People of their right to access medicinal plants and healing substances that have existed in nature for countless thousands of years long before the FDA ever came into existence (1906).

If we do not stop this FDA, we are all doomed to living under a totalitarian regulatory regime that will systematically criminalize every healing molecule found in nature, from the curcuminoids in turmeric root to green tea catechins and even phycocyanins found in spirulina.

That this federal agency has now resorted to such tactics of medical totalitarianism and outright tyranny is proof that we need to strip the FDA of regulatory powers over natural dietary supplements and limit its domain to pharmaceutical drugs only.

Coincidentally, a Presidential election is upon us that threatens to shake up the entire establishment if the right person wins. “Establishment” candidates on both sides of the aisle would simply continue the FDA war on natural molecules that’s now under way, but there is one candidate who has openly threatened to challenge the authority of federal regulators like the EPA and FDA.

FDA begins crackdown by targeting inaccurate label claims… but it won’t end there

The FDA has now declared war on CBDs and hemp oil extracts. Its first targets are those companies who have inaccurate label claims or are committing outright fraud in claiming CBD concentrations that don’t even exist in their products.

On this point, I must agree that inaccurate label claims deserve regulatory enforcement. The CBD industry is heavily populated with fraudulent sellers whose products often contain no CBDs at all. (Make sure you buy from reputable sources that conduct real science to validate product composition.)

“The FDA has turned its back on the cannabis industry, claiming that CBD products cannot be sold as dietary supplements,” reports Canna Business. “Companies affected by the latest crackdown include Cali Stores, Dose of Nature, Green Garden Gold, Healthy Hemp Oil, Michigan Herbal Remedies, Morgue Juice, Pain Bomb and Sana Te Premium Oils. According to the FDA’s analysis, all products contained different amounts of 9-THC, THCa, CBDa, CBN and CBD than they had claimed.”

The second target of the FDA is companies that made disease treatment claims that their CBD products might treat epilepsy, cancer or other conditions. The FDA, of course, routinely attacks any dietary supplement maker that tells the truth about the medicinal benefits of their products. According to the FDA, there is no such thing as any food, nutrient, herb or natural molecule that has any ability whatsoever to treat, prevent or cure any disease. This position is, of course, patently absurd and stands in total violation of nutritional science, but it is the “big lie” the FDA must maintain in order to keep putting dietary supplement companies out of business.

Once the FDA finishes destroying all the companies with inaccurate labels and disease marketing claims, it will target all the honest suppliers of CBDs who are selling genuine, honest products that contain accurate CBD labels. This is the real goal of the FDA: to threaten, intimidate and destroy the entire CBD industry and thereby protect the medical monopolies of drug companies that can’t wait to cash in on these amazing molecules that really do treat disease (otherwise, Big Pharma would have no interest in them).

This is how the FDA keeps the medical racket marching along

And so the great medical monopoly racket marches on, with the FDA giving a big “F-YOU” to the American people while handing lucrative medical monopolies to its greed-driven friends in the pharmaceutical industry. Meanwhile, the American people are denied healing medicine that works at a fraction of the cost of overpriced pharmaceuticals.

Entrepreneurial companies that offer such hemp oil extracts containing CBDs — natural medicines that could help reduce human suffering while lowering health care costs nationwide — are threatened by the FDA with devastating enforcement actions that could land their executives in prison.

This is all part of the FDA’s war on natural medicine that systematically criminalizes molecules found in nature and the people who seek to make those molecules available to patients in need. While disease suffering skyrockets across America and medical expenses push more and more families over the threshold of bankruptcy and destitution, isn’t it comforting to know that your federal government is doing everything in its power to deny you access to safe, affordable natural medicine while protecting the profits of the drug giants?

What can you do to oppose this medical tyranny by the FDA?

None of this is ever going to change, by the way, if we keep electing establishment politicians to the White House. If you want to see real change in the legalization of hemp extract components such as CBDs, you’d better vote for someone who terrifies the establishment and threatens to tear it down.

At the same time, you need to support health freedom organizations like the Alliance for Natural Health, which is fighting to keep dietary supplements legal in America.

You should also watch this video animation that exposes the anti-dietary supplement bias of PBS Frontline, which recently ran a totally dishonest hit piece documentary attacking supplements.

There is a nationwide effort under way right now to criminalize ALL dietary supplements and force every plant extract, vitamin or food concentrate to be regulated by the FDA as if they were prescription drugs. This would utterly wipe out the entire dietary supplements industry and plunge America into an era of runaway disease, suffering and death as people are denying access to the healing nutrients that are presently preventing disease (and even reversing serious disease in some cases).

Finally, share this story and join the Natural News email list (below) to stay informed on all this. As the editor of Natural News, I am fighting for your right to access CBDs and hemp oil extracts, as they are amazing natural medicines that can treat, prevent and in some cases even help cure serious health conditions.

The FDA is anti science and anti human rights

We have a fundamental human right to access healing plants found in nature, and the FDA has systematically sought to destroy that right and criminalize those who seek to express it. Access to Mother Nature’s healing molecules is a fundamental human right that exists above and beyond the Bill of Rights. It is a DIVINE right.

To reestablish our access to these rights, we need a political revolution in Washington that puts people in power who are ready and willing to dismantle the FDA and end its devastating monopolies over dietary supplements, medicinal herbs and natural molecules found in nature.

We need to legalize health freedom in America and set this nation on a new path of disease prevention and drastically reduced health care costs through access to affordable, natural medicines. The only way to accomplish this is to end the FDA’s reign of tyranny over the dietary supplements industry.

We need a new health freedom revolution in America, and it starts at the ballot box. It’s time to start electing outsiders, not insiders… people who the terrify the Washington establishment because they know their insidious grip on regulatory power will be challenged. If you want medical marijuana legalized, or if you want access to CBD oil as an affordable dietary supplement, it’s time to start voting for people the establishment is desperately trying to destroy. Because it is only those people who have any real hope of achieving the kind of political and legislative goals that will end the FDA’s stranglehold on natural medicine in America.

Texas Gov. Greg Abbott’s plan to restore state’s rights could be the answer for protecting health freedom /healthfreedomnews/2016-03-10-texas-gov-greg-abbotts-plan-to-restore-states-rights-could-be-the-answer-for-protecting-health-freedom.html Thu, 10 Mar 2016 16:08:28 +0000 http://162.244.66.231/healthfreedomnews/2016-03-10-texas-gov-greg-abbotts-plan-to-restore-states-rights-could-be-the-answer-for-protecting-health-freedom.html While no state and no set of state leaders are perfect purveyors of liberty, there are definitely some that are better at it than others. Most states on the left and right coasts have long been dominated by socialists, Marxists and other Left-leaning authoritarians who tend to pay more attention to the Constitution when it suits their political goal and not so much when it doesn’t. (Like the communists used to say, “The ends justifies the means.”)

But most states in the Midwest, South and West tend to have more respect for the nation’s founding document, and the freedoms and liberties it is supposed to guarantee. One of the most ardent defenders of freedom is the state of Texas, whose current governor, Greg Abbott, recently took an extraordinary step toward devolving power from Washington, and returning it to the states and people, the way our founders long ago decided it should be. If he’s successful – and he’ll need a lot of help to be successful – tens of millions of Americans will be reintroduced to long-lost freedoms and liberties to eat, drink, inject (or not inject) what they want.

Last month, Abbott introduced a plan that does not call for or require armed rebellion as the country witnessed recently in Oregon; in fact, Abbott’s plan uses the Constitution to help restore constitutional liberties, as our founders intended.

As reported by NaturalNews, Abbott’s plan, called Restoring the Rule of Law with States Leading the Way, calls for an Article V convention of states to propose new amendments to the Constitution that would once again devolve power from Washington back to the states.

Constitutional scholar and talk host Mark Levin fleshed the convention concept out in great detail in a recent book called The Liberty Amendments, which spelled out 11 new amendments to the Constitution including term limits for judicial appointments, a process by which states can reject Supreme Court decisions, and massive new government regulations, among others.

Article V of the Constitution proscribes two ways that the founding document can be amended. The first way has been used 17 times since the Bill of Rights was adopted: Congress proposes amendments and after a majority of members approves, the amendment is sent to the states where three-fourths must agree for the amendment to be adopted.

But the second way – which has never been used – allows two-thirds of the states to petition Congress to schedule a convention of states, whereby delegates would gather at a predetermined location to discuss and debate a predetermined amendment or set of amendments. Once convened, the delegates would set the rules for debate and passage; a majority would be needed to approve a new amendment, which would then be sent to states where three-fourths would have to approve for it to be added to the Constitution.

What would that do for food and alternative medicine freedom? Advocates say the convention of states process could advance these and other freedoms that would never be recommended or approved by the Congress.

Among Abbott’s proposals, as reported by NaturalNews:

— An amendment requiring future congresses and presidents to pass balanced budgets so that they stop adding to the massive federal debt now at more than $18 trillion, which has doubled under the Obama presidency;

— An amendment giving states power to override a U.S. Supreme Court decision if two-thirds vote to do so, thereby giving states – finally – a means of combating a politicized, life-tenured high court in which often just five people impose rules on all 310 million Americans;

— An amendment that would prohibit the federal Congress from interfering with or regulating activities that take place solely in that state (such as open carry for firearms anywhere, recognizing only traditional marriage, legalizing marijuana etc.);

— An amendment requiring a seven-justice super-majority for the Supreme Court to overturn a state law; and more.

“The Constitution is increasingly eroded with each passing year. That is a tragedy given the volume of blood spilled by patriots to win our country’s freedom and repeatedly defend it over the last 240 years,” begins an executive summary of Abbott’s proposal. “Moreover, the declining relevance of our Nation’s governing legal document is dangerous. Thomas Hobbes’s observation more than 350 years ago remains applicable today: the only thing that separates a nation from anarchy is its collective willingness to know and obey the law.”

Here are the 7 steps to health freedom …

  1. “For want or need?” That is the question. Know that what makes you want a cigarette are the chemicals (heavy metal toxins and pesticides) in the last one you smoked–because they mess up your central nervous system, you see, and then nicotine is just 30 minute relief, only to lead you back to heavy metal toxin (syndrome) and pesticide punishment again, and again, and again.
  1. Understand that a pack-a-day smoker who takes about 10 drags per cigarette engages a hand-to-mouth motion about 250 times a day. Replace that with organic nuts and seeds, superfoods and supplements, and you REPLACE a bad habit with a great one that REPLENISHES your nutrient base so you have energy for number 3 in the 7 steps to health freedom …
  1. Simple exercise routines are just that – easy and enjoyable, not straining and stressful. This must be something you look forward to doing. Also, stop judging yourself completely. Stop judging now and start carving your perfect “sculpture” and physique slowly but surely – the organic way. Fifteen minutes a day and a little difference, you will see, goes a long, long way!
  1. Superfood knowledge is what will repair your cleansing organs and clean food will fuel your heart, lungs and brain, so that lots of clean blood flows through your body with lots of oxygen! Get the inside scoop from David Wolfe on Youtube about Superfoods HERE … and get the inside scoop on clean foods and clean living from Mike Adams from Natural News HERE.
  1. Change your attitude completely. Just flip the switch where you know you will be successful because you have complete control over what you buy, eat, drink, put on your skin, and what you NEVER AGAIN put in your lungs.
  1. Do not accept criticism from skeptics and smokers. They will try to dismantle you when they see you accepting your own health freedom. After all, they want some but they don’t have the answer in their hands, yet. Go on your merry way and hold that attitude in tact, because you’re doing it RIGHT this time.
  1. Write down a big ONE YEAR GOAL and also a FIVE YEAR GOAL. This means you have a major short term goal and a major long term goal you can strive for, a little bit each day. Think of it as a brick in the wall, each day for 365 days for the one year goal, and nearly 2,000 bricks for the 5 year goal.

Remember, live for today and tomorrow (the now, the short-term future and the long-term future). Never one without the others. Enjoy your health freedom. It’s just three months ’til spring … so quit smoking now … your just 7 steps from health freedom!

Tired of being called a nut job by the mainstream media? Discover dignified health freedom and nutritional wisdom in the alternative media /healthfreedomnews/2015-10-13-tired-of-being-called-a-nut-job-by-the-mainstream-media-discover-dignified-health-freedom-and-nutritional-wisdom-in-the-alternative-media.html Tue, 13 Oct 2015 19:22:03 +0000 http://162.244.66.231/healthfreedomnews/2015-10-13-tired-of-being-called-a-nut-job-by-the-mainstream-media-discover-dignified-health-freedom-and-nutritional-wisdom-in-the-alternative-media.html The mainstream media can’t figure out why it keeps losing readers and viewers. Maybe it’s because they keep calling health-conscious consumers “whackos” and “kooks.” In their latest example of alienating readers, mainstream media outlets like USA Today, Washington Post, Forbes.com and the New York Times have resorted to condemning all health-conscious consumers as nut jobs and kooks and conspiracy theorists… all because they want to avoid fluoride, pesticides, toxic heavy metals or GMOs.

If you filter fluoride out of your tap water before you drink it, you’re a whacko, says the Washington Post. If you don’t want to inject your children with the mercury, aluminum, MSG and formaldehyde still used in vaccines, you’re a nut case, says Forbes, which also calls you an idiot for wanting to see accurate GMO labeling on foods. In fact, according to Forbes columnists, natural health advocates are a “danger to society.” Because, you know, high-vibration chocolate is really, really dangerous. It might wake you up and jumpstart your brain, come to think of it.

Not to be outdone, USA Today has called for the arrest and imprisonment of parents who choose not to have their children injected with toxic vaccine ingredients. The paper openly supports the government-run medical kidnapping of children, the breaking up of families at gunpoint, and long prison sentences for parents who don’t want to subject their children to the very real risks of vaccine side effects, which include seizures, comas, neurological disorders and even death.

When the news becomes a policy of medical fascism, something is terribly wrong

This is the new tactic of the clueless mainstream media: Scream at their readers and call them whackos for being health-conscious, well-informed people. It is the “North Koreazation” of the western corporate-controlled media, where all who disagree must be condemned, arrested and probably even executed as we’ll no doubt start reading soon in mainstream newspapers.

In an era when almost everyone wants more transparency about what ingredients are in their food, what chemicals are in vaccines, what GMOs are in their breakfast cereals and whether BPA is in their plastic bottles, the mainstream media has resorted to calling all those people stupid paranoid conspiracy theorists and nut cases. This is how they think they’re going to get more readers, apparently: Scream at their most intelligent readers and call them stupid, chasing them away, leaving behind only those audience members who really are dumb enough to believe anything the mainstream media tells them.

The mainstream media, of course, is nothing more than a corporate puppet mouthpiece institution. After all, they’re financially supported by the very same drug companies, processed food companies, and GMO biotech companies that are poisoning everyone. So they can’t have an honest discussion about the poisons in food, medicine and vaccines; that would betray the financial interests of their advertisers.

Instead, they call their readers crazy for wanting to avoid toxic chemicals, heavy metals and agricultural poisons. In this way, the media has become a group of “mercury denialists” and anti-science quacks who push corporate-spun fantasies like “atrazine is great for the environment!” or “all vaccines are proven safe and effective!”

Aren’t you tired of being screamed at, condemned, vilified and subjected to the intellectual bigotry of the mainstream media? Maybe it’s time you changed the channel.

Get your news and keep your dignity by tuning in to the alternative media

Here in the alternative media, we offer you a dignified experience in learning new things about current events and the world around you… things the mainstream media refuses to acknowledge even exist, such as the CDC whistleblower confession, natural cures for cancer and real news on the growing global financial crisis.

The alternative media treats you like the adult you are. We don’t treat you like little children the way the mainstream media does, shoving corporate-influenced junk science down your throat with nauseating arrogance and demeaning name-calling. Instead, we figure you’re smart enough to think for yourself.

In fact, you’re probably smart enough to have already figured out the mainstream media is little more than elaborate theater, functioning as a sellout propaganda mouthpiece for corporate and government interests. No wonder NBC News anchor Brian Williams just admitted he’s been fabricating his own news stories for years. Now, he claims that he mis-remembered which helicopter he was riding in when the one he WASN’T in got hit by an RPG. Yeah, right, Brian.

The alternative media is decentralized, grassroots independent news and investigation

What is the alternative media? It’s a decentralized, grassroots network of real, passionate people who bring you news and views you simply won’t find anywhere else. There’s no single leader of the alternative media. No one has a boss, so no one can be fired by their boss, which means they can’t be pressured into censoring important stories.

In fact, the alternative media is run by some of the most intelligent and capable people in the world: inventors, former company executives, entrepreneurs, natural health doctors, filmmakers, authors, media personalities, scientists and many more. We all have one thing in common: We refuse to sell out to corporate interests. We don’t take money from drug companies, and we aren’t suckered by government lies.

We also like to have some fun. That’s why you’ll frequently find alternative media websites running parodies, music videos, comedy skits and other creative forms of expression that symbolize the kind of intellectual freedom embraced across the alternative media.

Who exactly is the alternative media? We’re actually the only remaining free press in the world: sites like TruthStreamMedia.com, NaturalNews.com, GreenMedInfo.com, HealthImpactNews.com, Vaxtruth.com and NoMoreFakeNews.com (see a more complete list below). On sites like these, and many others, you’ll meet intelligent, award-winning investigative journalists who stand apart from the conventional corporate media. These are people driven by real curiosity and passion about what’s happening in the world around us.

Can you trust the alternative media? You might think, “Well, they’re not neutral. They’ve got opinions!” The truth is, every news source isn’t neutral. The mainstream media pretends to be neutral but is actually 100% invested in promoting news that favors corporate and government interests while censoring all news that might threaten those interests. News neutrality is a lie, and any news source that claims to be neutral is being laughably dishonest.

In the mainstream media, you often don’t even know who wrote the script being read by the news actor reading the teleprompter that you can’t see because they don’t want you to know the news is all scripted in the first place. In the alternative media, there are no teleprompters. People report from their hearts, with passion and integrity, bringing you valuable information from a source you can recognize and get to know. You may not agree with everything that person stands for, but at least you know they’re a real person, and not just some rehashed corporate flaky spun onto television with a teleprompter and a makeup artist.

Really cool projects for humanity, too…

Alternative media people pursue really great projects for humanity, too. For example, right now I’m on the verge of launching the world’s first non-electric, self-watering food grow system made from open source 3D printable parts. The project is described at www.FoodRising.org and it’s a revolutionary new technology for self-reliance, home medicine production, survival preparedness, saving money on groceries and much more.

The technology is all being given away for free, with DIY videos, downloadable 3D object files and the free sharing of knowledge with the world. You won’t see that kind of project coming out of the mainstream media, which incessantly pushes corporate domination, control and profits, even at the expense of what’s really good for humanity.

Other alternative media minds have put together decentralized technology that help keep humanity free. Services like Unseen.is offer encrypted email that can’t be read by the NSA, and Seen.is delivers a social media alternative to Facebook without all the spying on users.

Peer-to-peer crypto currencies like Bitcoin were also created by alternative minds. Everywhere you look around the world, grassroots people are rejecting the corporate domination of planet Earth and working to create a better planet with the open sharing of really great ideas, all of which are predictably attacked and denounced by the mainstream media for the simple reason that these are all disruptive technologies that threaten the status quo.

The mainstream media is, quite literally, making itself more and more irrelevant by the day. Its audience now primarily consists of the illiterate — people who did not receive an education sufficient to teach them how to read and learn on their own.

Consider this: Even though I’ve started a Food Rising Revolution by donating 250 food grow systems to schools across America, you will never see a positive story about this news written in the Washington Post. It isn’t because the concept isn’t newsworthy — if it were spearheaded by government or a university, it would be big news! — it’s because the innovation threatens their advertisers. Teaching people to grow their own food is a threat to Big Biotech and the corporate-run food factory system. They cannot allow any publicity of solutions that set humanity free from corporate control.

“Our lives begin to end the day we become silent about things that matter.” — Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.

The real difference between the mainstream media and the alternative media

The mainstream media condemns you; the alternative media believes in you.

The mainstream media despises intellectual diversity; the alternative media celebrates intellectual diversity.

The mainstream media screams at their audience with hatred and anger; the alternative media elevates their audience with knowledge and wisdom.

The mainstream media operates on astonishing intolerance and absolute hatred of critical thinking; the alternative media is widely diverse and welcoming of new ideas that challenge the status quo.

The mainstream media demands your arrest and imprisonment if you disagree with their corporate-control “science” agendas; the alternative media wants you to think for yourself and avoid being harmed by corporate chemicals added to foods, medications and more.

The mainstream media hates individual liberty and wants to crush the Bill of Rights and destroy the U.S. Constitution; the alternative media embraces liberty and freedom and wants to restore constitutional government that does not violate individual freedoms.

The mainstream media wants to use force, coercion and the threat of violence to force you to follow its demands. The alternative media wants you to use your brain and learn to THINK critically about what’s really happening in the world around you.

The mainstream media fires any reporter that questions the status quo on issues like vaccines, biotechnology, pesticide toxicity or government corruption. The alternative media WELCOMES those reporters as truth-tellers, whistleblowers and independent thinkers who have something very valuable to contribute to society.

The mainstream media has high-budget studios, supermodel teleprompter readers, and big sponsorship budgets provided by companies like Merck, Monsanto, DuPont and Pfizer. The alternative media has low-budget studios, no teleprompters, normal-looking people and very tiny budgets that are often barely enough to get by. Alternative media people are driven by passion, not money, which is exactly why they are far more trustworthy in the first place.

The bottom line is simple: If you enjoy being screamed at, denigrated and condemned as a thought criminal, keep tuning in to the mainstream media, where corporate infiltration of the news is now absolute. On the other hand, if you enjoy thinking for yourself; if you believe in intellectual diversity and individual liberty; if you want to feel respected, dignified and valued for your unique ideas, get your news from the alternative media, where thinking for yourself is celebrated, not condemned.

In the past, when vaccine lunatics like Paul Offit made spectacles of themselves on the mainstream media circuit with nutty ramblings about children safely getting 10,000 vaccinations at once and being just fine, those of us who still have functioning mental faculties responded with facts when appropriate and ignored the rest — who wants to argue with a madman, after all?

But things are getting personal with a new movement to eliminate vaccine exemptions and force vaccinations on all Americans, using the illogic of Offit and other unhinged crazies as “scientific” backing for such draconian medical control. Right now in California, for instance, the pharma-backed state legislature is trying to push a bill through the Senate that would eliminate the freedom of Californians to opt out of vaccinations for personal or religious reasons.

The threat of losing our freedom of vaccine choice is real, in other words. The health freedom movement can no longer sit idly by while the vaccine industry, through its sell-out puppets like Senator and Dr. Richard Pan, who was recently exposed for accepting campaign contributions from Merck & Co., producer of the MMR vaccine. Not surprisingly, Pan is aggressively pushing to eliminate vaccine exemptions in California.

Criminal politicians and doctors pushing for mandatory vaccinations no different from dictators who forced medical treatments on war prisoners

Since receiving national media attention, the widely-hyped California measles outbreak has sparked all sorts of manufactured outrage against people who don’t vaccinate. They are the ones responsible for spreading disease, reads the official script, and any “loopholes” that exist to accommodate their “anti-science” position (vaccine exemptions) must be eliminated in the interest of public health.

Regardless of your personal views or actual science on the safety and effectiveness of vaccinations, what dirty politicians like Pan and corrupt “doctors” like Offit are calling for is forced mass medication without informed consent. Not only is this a human rights violation, but it stands diametrically opposed to what the American Medical Association (AMA) recognizes as standard medical ethics.

As we recently reported, the AMA’s official code of ethics expressly prohibits mandatory vaccinations, determining that every patient has a fundamental right to choose his or her own treatment without coercion or threat of retribution.

“The patient should make his or her own determination about treatment,” it states clearly, pegging this standard as “a basic policy in both ethics and law.”

Will you join the health freedom movement in opposing all attempts at forced medical treatments?

Nearly 50,000 people have signed onto a petition that would bar any and all attempts at forced vaccinations or other medical treatments in the U.S. 100,000 signatures are needed by March 6, 2015, to force a response from the White House, which means we’re halfway there in telling the federal government that we don’t agree, and won’t go along, with any form of mandatory mass medication, vaccines or otherwise.

“This debate shouldn’t be about the efficacy of vaccines, or the dangers of vaccines,” said independent journal Paul Joseph Watson. “What it should be about is the chilling precedent being set by both the left and the right… that it now should be completely accepted without question that the government has the right to forcibly mass medicate anyone against their will.”

You can sign the petition, which is posted at WhiteHouse.gov, here:
