Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez died this past week, and I have to ask the readers' indulgence here. As soon as I heard the news, I shared with my friends Dr. Scott deHart and George Ann Hughes that now the fun and games would begin. We all more or less agreed that now, with Chavez gone, Venezuela would be the next hemispherical target in the Anglo-American oligarchy's list for "fun and games", to bring that country to heal. Well, it seems that the Venezuelans(and by implication once again, their Russian sponsors), are out of the gate first, pointing fingers in America's direction, for … [Read more...]
NEW STUDY: ASPERTAME, CANCERS, and FRAUD
I had to bring this one to everyone's attention for a variety of reasons, most of them having to do with California's recently - and I might add, suspiciously - defeated Proposition 37, that would have required labeling of genetically modified food.

In recent years, it became a more personal interest, as I befriended someone with Morgellon's disease, who, along with his doctor, are convinced that at least some of the strange material they see growing from his sores is nanoengineering, gone horribly wrong, or worse, horribly according to plan. But the promise remains as … [Read more...]
NANOTECH, CHEMOTHERAPY, CANCER, AND SOME PERSONAL MEMORIES
Consider the following article: A loose grip provides better chemotherapy This bit of news carries particular poignancy for me, as I lost my youngest sister Jeanie in 2000 to a glioblastoma, an always fatal form of malignant brain tumor that grows and propagates along the furrows and wrinkles in the brain, and which is thus inoperable. In seventh grade, we were made to read John Gunther's Death be Not Proud, a non-fiction account of a family's desperate struggle to save their son's life from a glioblastoma. Thus, when the doctors came out from my sister's initial surgery at Doctors' … [Read more...]
