U.S. PLANS TO REDUCE MAD COW TESTING(!) AP
WASHINGTON -- Despite the confirmation of a third case of
mad cow disease in the U.S., the American government intends to
scale back testing for the brain-wasting disorder blamed for the
deaths of more than 150 people in Europe. The U.S.
Agriculture Department boosted its surveillance after finding the
first case of mad cow disease in the U.S. in 2003. About
1,000 tests are run daily, up from about 55 daily in 2003.
The testing program detected an infected cow in Alabama last week
and further analysis confirmed Monday the animal had mad cow
disease. Still, a reduction in testing has been in the works
for months. The department's chief veterinarian, John Clifford,
mentioned it when he announced the new case of mad cow disease. read

RESPONSE
OF REBECCA CARLEY, MD (court qualified expert in vaccine
induced diseases) to CDC's public health protection research
guide 2006-2015: The CDC claims that its Research
Guide "will provide a comprehensive, long-range vision
of national and global public health needs that CDC and its
partners can address through research. The Research
Guide will help identify critical knowledge needed to achieve
CDC's new health protection goals which
are designed to maximize the health impact of programs, services,
and emergency responses". In the media advisory asking
for public comment it is claimed that "the wide-ranging Research
Guide addresses topics of critical interest to the American
public including finding new ways to combat infectious diseases
such as pandemic influenza, and chronic diseases such as cancer
and diabetes. It will be self evident from the documentation
herein that the CDC and its partners are actually facilitating the
creation of diseases and genocide; not the
protection of public health, as this guide purports. read

DEATH BY MEDICINE, Part I By Gary Null PhD, Carolyn Dean MD ND, Martin Feldman MD, Debora Rasio MD, Dorothy Smith PhD
A definitive review and close reading of medical peer-review journals, and government health statistics shows that American medicine frequently causes more harm than good. The number of people having in-hospital, adverse drug reactions (ADR) to prescribed medicine is 2.2 million.1 Dr. Richard Besser, of the CDC, in 1995, said the number of unnecessary antibiotics prescribed annually for viral infections was 20 million. Dr. Besser, in 2003, now refers to tens of millions of unnecessary antibiotics.2, 2a
The number of unnecessary medical and surgical procedures performed annually is 7.5 million.3 The number of people exposed to unnecessary hospitalization annually is 8.9 million.4 The total number of iatrogenic deaths shown in the following table is 783,936. It is evident that the American medical system is the leading cause of death and injury in the United States. read

A$ $ICK A$ IT GET$: The for-profit
theft of our health. Dr Rudolph Mueller, Jamestown NY physician and
author of As Sick As It Gets, speaks Jan 19, 2005 to a small group
of American Association of University Women in Jamestown. He
describes case after case of peoples’ tragedies resulting from the
lack of health insurance or lack of adequate health insurance.
Americans pay twice as much for healthcare than the top nine other
industrialized nations and is ranked 39th best healthcare in the
world, partly due to uninsured people not getting regular checkups
resulting in emergency room care that not only costs more for all of
us but often fails to save patients’ lives because it is so late in
their ailments’ progression. Universal Healthcare would not only be
a wiser use of our money, it would reduce crime and suffering
nationwide, overnight.

deregulation. Schwartz, who’s now in his fourth career in pharmacy,
reveals why medical insurance companies don’t hold down (but rather
increase) the price of drugs, how the drug industry can prey on an
uninformed people (the media – magazines, newspapers, radio and
television -- is paid off via big pharma’s advertising dollars). Dr.
Schwartz, Frewsburg, NY, spoke Jan.13, 2005 at Jamestown’s

AS SICK AS IT GETS: THE SHOCKING REALITY OF AMERICA’S HEALTHCARE
UPDATED version: 7.1megs thanks to PGHIMC Rudolph Mueller, MD, a Jamestown New York family doctor, often cites Rev. Martin Luther King, ‘Of all the forms of inequality, injustice in healthcare is the most shocking and inhumane.’ Mueller adds, “Universal healthcare is the human rights issue of the 21st century.” In his book (As Sick As It Gets: Healthcare in America), Dr. Mueller exposes the often heinous consequences of an uncontrolled pharmaceutical industry: buying politicians and high-powered ad agencies to push overpriced, sometimes unnecessary, and often under-tested drugs. Mueller challenges the blame-the-victim mentality adopted by much of the medical profession, and calls for a universal health care system. (Hospital photos by
