How Fear Destroyed the Fourth Amendment Jonathan Alter of Newsweek writes: "I hate to sound melodramatic about it, but while everyone was at the beach or 'The Simpsons Movie' on the first weekend in August, the US government shredded the Fourth Amendment to the Constitution, the one requiring court-approved 'probable cause' before Americans can be searched or spied upon. This is not the feverish imagination of left-wing bloggers and the ACLU. It's the plain truth of where we've come as a country." Children being used as 'guinea pigs' in mass Wi-Fi experiment, warn teachers The use of wi-fi networks in classrooms should be immediately supsended until an inquiry has fully investigated the health threat to millions of schoolchildren, teachers have urged.

Tyson Foods recently announced it will produce all of its fresh chicken without antibiotics—selling it in grocery stores under a "Raised Without Antibiotics" label. As the nation’s largest producer of chicken, Tyson is setting an important precedent for protecting public health. The time has never been better to urge U.S. fast-food companies to follow Tyson's lead and establish strict antibiotic use policies with their meat suppliers. Currently, an estimated 70 percent of antibiotics and related drugs in the United States are used in the feed and water of healthy animals—a practice with serious consequences for human health. Bacteria that are constantly exposed to antibiotics develop resistance to these drugs. When humans get sick from resistant bacteria, the antibiotics prescribed will no longer work. Sign our petition to the nation's top fast-food companies urging them to help end this dangerous practice. Tyson Foods recently announced it will produce all of its fresh chicken without antibiotics, selling it in grocery stores under a "Raised Without Antibiotics" label. Tyson has set an important precedent by protecting the health of their customers. Now is the time for fast-food companies to establish strict policies against nontherapeutic use of antibiotics by their meat suppliers.

Metabolic syndrome is a constellation of medical disorders that increase one's risk for cardiovascular disease and diabetes. It affects a large number of people in a clustered fashion and is sweeping the world due to industrialized foods and habit. It is known under various other names, such as (metabolic) syndrome X, insulin resistance syndrome, Reaven's syndrome or CHAOS (Australia). According to some estimates, one-third of all those 55 year or older in America have Syndrome X. By the time you get to 70 years, 50% will have it. And if you are younger, say 35-years-old, there's a 10% chance that you have it already. If you recognize that the factors that play a role in this syndrome are interconnected, you will easily understand the solution, and the cure will be critical to a patient's long-term health and well being. The good news is there are simple things that can be done; the bad news is that it will take some effort on the part of the patient. The sad news is that medical doctors would prefer to give pills rather than devote time and resources to curing this disease. But pills and injections are of course not the answer. There are several symptoms consistent with this syndrome, which often appear hours after eating:
Dr. Gerald Reaven at Stanford coined the term Syndrome X in 1988. He was researching diabetes and trying to understand the role of insulin in obesity, heart disease, and high blood pressure. It was clear to him almost 20 years ago that people with this syndrome had trouble processing glucose, which is due to problems with insulin. The Problem: When we eat, especially refined carbohydrates, the body's chemicals break down the food into molecules that our cells use for energy - namely blood glucose. The body notices this extra sugar and produces extra insulin in the pancreas. This insulin circulates in the blood and triggers a host of other processes. The insulin binds to receptors on the surface of cells throughout the body. Cells have anywhere from 100 to 100,000 of these receptors, and very few cells have no insulin receptors. The fact that receptors are ubiquitous, and the levels of sugar and insulin vary so much, means that cells can alter their responses to these molecules. Therein lies the problem: The liver and the brain are intimately connected and influenced by glucose levels and insulin. In fact, if you don't eat anything, the liver produces glucose for the rest of the body by breaking down glycogen (liver starch). And depending on the levels of sugar and insulin, the body will either store glucose (called glycogen) and moderate the burning of fat for energy or vice versa. On the other hand, the brain uses blood glucose (only) to function and is dependent on a constant supply no matter what. Insulin triggers a host of things, among those, increased fat storage in which insulin; a decrease of magnesium and an increase of sodium in the blood. Insulin also increases pro-inflammation molecules (like homocysteine) in the blood. It even causes the production of fat and increases fat storage. This easily leads to increases in blood pressure and chronically can lead to a stroke and heart disease. And it gets worse. If our cells are bombarded with insulin, they decrease the receptors on the cell surface. Thus the body has to increase the amount of insulin to get the same effects on the cells. More insulin means more fat. If insulin levels are consistently high, the body will never use fat. While blood sugar is too high and the metabolism will be stuck in storage mode. Insulin is the body fat storage hormone. It is produced by the pancreas in response to increased blood sugar level. This would in turn drive your body to consume glucose for energy, and store any excess away as fat. Thus the importance of avoiding foods that increase blood sugar, known as "high-glycemic index" foods. And the list of these foods found in grocery stores is endless. Suffice it to say that whole grains and beans; and raw fruits and vegetables have a lower glycemic index than things like cookies or refined foods such as white bread and potato chips. The bottom line is this: The human body needs glucose, fat, and protein. But anything that triggers increases in blood sugar - especially if it happens quickly and constantly due to eating and snaking too much - will lead to high insulin levels (spikes) and thus develop insulin resistance, triggering Syndrome X. The following traits are critical to diagnosing this syndrome:
If you or your patients have any three of these symptoms, then you likely have or are developing Syndrome X. You can do two simple things to reverse the metabolic problems, if you act now: 1. Avoid sweets like the plague and any food with the word sugar on the boxŠ This especially means the phrase "high fructose corn syrup." 2. After your biggest meal of the day, walk or exercise for 15-30 minutes. 3. Avoid table salt, it demineralizes the body, leeching out especially potassium and calcium. 4. Drink at least six glasses of water daily, and one glass any time you feel you are hungry. It may be that it was your thirst mechanism, not hunger. 5. Take a multivitamin/mineral supplement daily to keep up your metabolic engines. When it comes to full blown Syndrome X, here's what to do:
WORLD ORGANIZATION OF NATURAL MEDICINE PRACTITIONERS OPENS NEW LABORATORY DIVISION U.S. MEMBERS CAN OFFER NEW SERVICES TO PATIENTS... The federal Clinical Laboratory Improvement Amendments (CLIA) law (42 U.S.C. Sec. 263a; P.L.100-578) requires every facility that tests human specimens for the purpose of providing information for the diagnosis, prevention or treatment of any disease or impairment of, or the assessment of the health of, a human being to meet certain requirements. If a facility (e.g. a naturopath's office) performs tests for these purposes, it is considered under the law, to be a laboratory. By extension, a colon hydrotherapist removing human specimens through a glass tube and using the detritus as an assessment of health, is performing a laboratory function. CLIA laws apply even if only one or just a few basic tests are performed, even something as simple as a piece of pH paper inserted into the mouth for a Reams salivary analysis, and even if there is no charge for the testing. CLIA standards apply nationwide, waived tests can be performed by technicians, but research testing requires that a lab director is to be designated for testing when it is beyond the "waived" home category. Waived tests include the simplest tests, such as a home pregnancy test that can be purchased over the counter, or a urine dipstick like that used in a doctor's office. Practitioners using dark field microscopy, doing bio-terrain assessments, performing Reams type tests, are breaking the law if not federally licensed. We have reports that these practitioners are being arrested all around the country. There is a way to do these tests legally through WONMP's research and certification program. We can band together under WONMP's registry, perform research for future acceptance of our methods. Natural medicine practitioners are better forewarned, and can operate a laboratory, open to the public, federally licensed, and providing valuable services within the CLIA guidelines. Federal regulations define waived tests as simple laboratory examinations and procedures that are cleared by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for home use; employ methodologies that are so simple and accurate as to render the likelihood of erroneous results negligible; or pose no reasonable risk of harm to the patient if the test is performed incorrectly (42 C.F.R. 493). The specified tests that that a WONMP lab director can use to offer extended services in his or her office are listed in the regulation: 1. Dipstick or Tablet reagent urinalysis (non-automated) for the following: * Bilirubin (liver function) * Glucose (diabetes and syndrome X screening) * Hemoglobin (renal test) * Ketone (metabolic test) * Leukocytes * Nitrite (urinary tract infections, more common than you would imagine) * pH (an assessment for interstitial pH, and thus acidosis/alkaosis, with dietary guidelines) * Protein (renal test) * Specific gravity (the hydration test, water as a therapeutic) * Urobilinogen (liver function and intestinal putrefaction) 2. Fecal occult blood (colon cancer screening) 3. Ovulation tests - visual color comparison tests for luteinizing hormone 4. Urine pregnancy tests - visual color comparison tests 5. Erythrocyte sedimentation rate-non-automated (screening for catastrophic disease) 6. Hemoglobin-copper sulfate - non-automated (screening for anemia) 7. Blood glucose by glucose monitoring devices cleared by the FDA specifically for home use. 8. Spun microhematocrit 9. Hemoglobin providing direct measurement and readout. 10. Blood cholesterol and lipid panels for vascular assessment. 11. H. pylori test for stomach ulcer and aggravating reflux esophagitis. 12. Blood typing test for A, B, O and thus nutritioinal consultation. In fact, there are enough CLIA waived tests to allow you to operate an entire health evaluation center as part of your services. It should also be noted that NDs (and other health care professionals) practicing in most all states do not have any restriction and are able to perform these tests as authorized within the federal law. You can provide the test, hand the results and references to the patient, and you are not making the diagnosis, the device is. You no longer need to diagnose in the dark. If you are a naturopath or health care practitioner, you can offer CLIA waived tests for fee, and perform legitimate research for blood analysis, reams tests, bioterrain testing, etc. through the WONMP Clinical Research Laboratory Program.

LAUDERDALE Good morning doc, Great seminar...looking forward to my patients experiencing the Jade therapies....looking forward to the educational experience of your DNM program..... Yours in good health, Dr. Sam Hello Dr Charles, Thank you for a fascinating weekend in Ft Lauderdale-Your workshop has me rethinking my practice. Dear Charles: It was a pleasure to meet you and your wife in Ft. Lauderdale. My life is changing rapidly as a result of all of the information and contacts gathered that weekend. I am definitely interested in joining the Knights as I feel strongly about the need to get primary care and simple solutions to all who need and am now exploring how this information will manifest in my future. Thank you for providing the forum for so many healers and members of your order to exchange information. The session was certainly in line with the mission of the Knights. I look forward to becoming a part of the movement. Good Morning Dr., How are you? I just want to thank you for all your help and insights on what's mainstream and where to put my focus. I always wanted to open an acuspa, but did not know how to do it with just acupuncture--but now I can incorporate everything which is sooooooo exciting. Dr. McWilliams is amazing and just so humble and to learn from the master is just an awesome experience. I'm excited about the DNM program--the real deal I was hoping to find. - I would love to make it to Nevis in November to see the master at work...if there are any space open.. let me know Hi Doc, You might be interested in Paul Ekman's work with facial muscles and emotions. Facial expressions are the same all over the world which is in agreement with Darwin's theories. The 43 facial muscles are a great indicator of a person's true feelings. For example, to tell the difference between a true smile and a fake smile one only needs to look at the orbicularis oculi. In a fake smile, the orbicularis does not contract whereas in a true smile the zygomatic major as well as the orbicularis contract. It is easy to spot the difference. In a true smile the eyes and eyebrows slant downwards, where as in the case of a fake smile, ther is no change in the orbicularis. You can see for yourself in a mirror. Lies can also be detected. Dr. Ekman has written many books and also has a CD for students to learn this technique. It's a good idea for physicians to learn how to read them. Typical left brain occupations like medicine, law, engineering, accounting etc., will be forced to change in the future as right brain thinking becomes dominant. Many companies are out sourcing IT related jobs to Asia (namely India), where workers earn a fraction of the salary earned by top US computer specialists. This is a trend which is occurring in a all left brained occupations, such as law, medicine, accounting, engineering, etc. In order to survive, these occupations will have to incorporate more right brain thinking. In medical schools now, students are being taught empathy, and how to listen to their patients. Misdiagnosis can be prevented in a lot of cases simply by listening carefully to patients. In fact studies show that patients are allowed to talk for a paultry 20 seconds before they are interrupted by their doctors. This is good news for alternative health practitioners who employ more intuitive methods of health care. I also think it might fit well with your work with facial muscles, wrinkle, and neurology. Take care, Sharon P.S. Dr. Ekman has a website, and his book is called, "Emotions Revealed".
