    Biological, Chemical, and Nuclear Warfare - Protecting Yourself and Your Loved Ones Anthrax, smallpox, chemical weapons, SARS or nuclear disaster? Savely Yurkovsky, MD, says "No sweat," whether the conventional medical vaccines or antidotes exist or not and proposes his method that everyone, even a layperson, can master within minutes! More than that, this method is natural, drug free and supported by hundreds of scientific studies, ample medical experience and prominent scientists! Disenchanted with the dismal yield of conventional medicine in the care of chronic diseases, he turned to the exploration and thorough study of Alternative Medicine. Having realized that the primary source of health and disease, according to physics, stems from the corresponding cellular energy fields, he adopted a new revolutionary medical model - one that interfaces the theories of biology and physics, created by his mentor, Professor Emeritus of Materials Science, William A. Tiller, of Stanford University. Savely Yurkovsky, MD, is a cardiologist and Board Certified physician, internationally known expert in Integrative Medicine with special interest in toxicology and infectious diseases. Dr. Yurkovsky resides with his wife and two children in Connecticut, and maintains a private practice in Chappaqua, New York

    Alliance for Natural Health (ANH) lawsuit filed to overturn the EU Food Supplement Directive. The battle between the rights of consumers, natural health practitioners and healthfood manufacturers versus the corporate health and pharmaceutical giants, is presently being stepped up worldwide. The pharmaceutical cartel is extremely powerful and its agenda is being followed and adhered to by governments around the world. The Directive will ban about 300 of the 420 or so forms of vitamins and minerals present in around 5000 products on the UK market, many of which are sold in high street health food stores. The ban will have a similar effect on products in such countries as Sweden, the Netherlands and Ireland which have advanced markets for food supplements. The ANH has begun the legal process for a declaration that the Directive is invalid under European law.

    Dr Rob Verkerk PhD  - "We believe that it will rob the consumer of the right to buy important nutritional supplements to improve their diet and health and that of their children, as well as putting hundreds of small businesses and the livelihoods of thousands at risk." Read why US companies and consumers need to support the ANH lawsuit NOW!

    The Bitter Truth About NutraSweet (Aspartame) and Sucralose (Splenda ™)James Bowen, M.D. - "In a simple word you would just as soon have DDT in your food as Splenda, because sucralose is a chlorocarbon. The chlorocarbons have long been famous for causing organ, genetic, and reproductive damage. It should be no surprise, therefore, that the testing of sucralose, even at less than the level demanded by FDA rules, reveals that it has been shown to cause up to 40% shrinkage of the thymus: A gland that is the very foundation of our immune system. It also causes swelling of the liver and kidneys, and CALCIFICATION of the kidney."

    Overcoming The Sugar Blues & Getting Off Prozac A multitude of common physical and mental ailments are strongly linked to the consuming of 'pure', refined sugar. Sugar taken every day produces a continuously overacid condition, and more and more minerals are required from deep in the body in the attempt to rectify the imbalance. Today, pioneers of orthomolecular psychiatry, such as Dr Abram Hoffer, Dr Allan Cott, Dr A. Cherkin as well as Dr Linus Pauling, have confirmed that mental illness is a myth and that emotional disturbance can be merely the first symptom of the obvious inability of the human system to handle the stress of sugar dependency.

    The Living Clay  Calcium montmorillonite, also known as "living clay," principally consists of minerals that enhance the production of enzymes in all living organisms. Clay’s adsorptive and absorptive qualities may be the key to its multifaceted healing abilities. Calcium montmorillonite mineral deposits have been used by Native American healers for centuries as an internal and external healing agent. The Native Americans would use mineral rich clay on open wounds and for stomach or intestinal distress. Technically, the clay first adsorbs toxins (heavy metals, free radicals, pesticides), attracting them to its extensive surface area where they adhere like flies to sticky paper; then it absorbs the toxins, taking them in the way a sponge mops up a kitchen counter mess.

    Dr. Cohen - "In addition to the role it plays as a potent detoxifier, Calcium Montmorillonite Clay has also been used extensively in the treatment of pain, open wounds, colitis, diarrhea, hemorrhoids, stomach ulcers, intestinal problems, acne, anemia, and a variety of other health issues. Clay not only cures minor problems, such as diarrhea and constipation through local application; it acts on all the organs—on the whole organism.  Everything unhealthy, that emits negative radiations is irresistibly attracted to clay and becomes subject to immediate elimination."

    Update: A Criminal Consequence of Vaccine Injury: Misdiagnosed Shaken Baby Syndrome  - The Association of American Physicians and Surgeons (AAPS) with a membership of several thousand private doctors, has stepped up to the plate in the Yurko case. To overturn this conviction means to strike a stunning blow against false Shaken Baby Syndrome (SBS) accusations everywhere. The Story of Baby Alan There have been several papers written on this case after a thorough review of the medical records by knowledgeable and competent medical doctors. This case is finally receiving the publicity it deserves. An article entitled, "Shaken Baby Syndrome or Vaccine-Induced Encephalitis? The Story of Baby Alan" by Harold E. Buttram, MD and F. Edward Yazbak, MD, was the feature story in the Nov/Dec 2000 edition of ICA Review, a journal of the International Chiropractic Association. Alan Yurko's article, "Non-Traumatic Rib Injuries: A Logical and Statistical Conclusion in the Case of Alan Yurko," was also published in the same edition. As an article in the September 2000 Redbook magazine points out, there are over 25 cases throughout the United States of men in prison for Shaken Baby Syndrome when the medical records point to an adverse reaction to a vaccination as causing the premature death of their babies. Organized medicine is so obsessed with hiding the fact that it's vaccines are killing our children that it has resorted to convincing the courts to imprison innocent parents for this tragic trend. Please donate funds for the upcoming evidentiary hearing. 

    Animal Health

    Dogs, Distemper  Dr. Baruch Rosen, M.D. - "...Blood studies confirmed distemper and showed a white cell count (lymphocytes) of only 264 slightly more than ten percent of normal. Our vet plus a second out-of-state consulting vet, an expert in distemper were very sympathetic and advised me to prepare myself to euthanize Romeo. Knowing little to nothing about canine distemper, I turned to the internet and luckily stumbled on to Transfer Factor Plus, a preparation which enhances and stimulates the body's own immune system to fight against all pathogens, viral or otherwise.  My thirty years in medicine told me this was the only solution.  I hurriedly became a distributor to get the product and started Chico and Romeo on one cap daily encased in one teaspoonful of raw hamburger.  Over the next two weeks all cough and mucus drainage ceased. Romeo's follow-up blood count had risen to normal range at 2217 and he surprised to whole family by jumping a five foot wall.  He romps and plays all day long with Chico, now responds normally to his name and appears to be his old joyful self again." more

    Heartworm   Jeffrey Levy. DVM - "This parasite is a source of great anxiety among dog caretakers. Thanks in large part to the scare tactics of many veterinarians in promoting preventive drugs, many people believe that contracting heartworms is the equivalent of a death sentence for their dogs. This is not true." learn more

    Leukemia  Steven Slagle, DVM - "A cat with leukemia, an oral tumor, and posterior paralysis due to a spinal tumor, was very ill and emaciated. One month after enhanced transfer factors (1 cap daily), there was some regression of the oral tumor, restored appetite with some weight gain, and increased sociability. Five months later, she continues to improve, regaining normal weight, 80% regression of her oral tumor, and regaining use of hind legs and tail. Victor, a 10-year-old gelding, with EPM was treated with conventional drug therapy for 5 weeks and yet continued to deteriorate. At week 6, I started him on enhanced transfer factors (6 caps/day). Within one week, he showed noticeable improvement, and within 30 days, he was able to show. Since his full recovery 4 months ago, Victor has continued to show at his original performance level."   Read other veterinarian's testimonials
