New Looks At Dis-eases FEATURED ARTICLES - One Voice - One Goal - To Fight Global Aids & Poverty, Democrats.com - Polio Special Series, by Janine Roberts, The Ecologist QUOTE OF THE DAY "If you continue to allow these contaminated [polio] vaccines to go out, I guarantee you that over the next 20 years you will have epidemics of cancer unlike the world has ever seen." - - Bernice Eddy (1972, testimony to the U.S. Congress - taken from today's RHINO'S BOTTOM LINE) KNOW YOUR HISTORY - JUNE 1934 -- Indian Reorganization Act passed against virtually unanimous opposition of Native Americans, who felt they've already been reorganized enough. 1952 -- US Government denounces Soviet suggestion that it ratify the 1925 Geneva Protocol against bacteriological warfare. 2001 -- Sweden: Over 1,000 Europeans mooned US President Shrub during his overseas trip! The protesters gathered outside Bush's hotel in Gothenburg for the mass-mooning resulting in 2,000 naked buttocks being pointed at the SAS Radisson. RHINO HERE: This week, Peter Coyote distributed an astounding series about the roots of polio and the likelihood that instead of being caused by a virus, that it was actually caused by industrial and agricultural pollution. The series, which is today's RHINO'S BOTTOM LINE, also documents that in spite of The World Health Organization (WHO) confidently predicting that polio epidemics are all but over, that in fact, polio has been renamed as Acute Flaccid Paralysis (AFP), and that by WHO's own figures, epidemics of AFP are not ending but rapidly getting worse. An amazing read published in an amazing periodical; The Ecologist. Exposing the GM propaganda machine... The US quest for oil... Dirty dealings at the WTO... Nanotechnology - promising the world, or costing the earth? These are just some of the stories The Ecologist uncovers.  Founded in 1970, The Ecologist is the world's most widely-read environmental magazine. Published in four continents, The Ecologist is read by over 200,000 people in 150 countries.   http://www.theecologist.org But 1st, the AIDS epidemic is taking a devastating and relentless toll on Africa. Last month, I quoted comments by PeaceRoots.org founder, Michael O'Gorman including,  "the entire war in Iraq is only 1/2000th as bad as the denying, by the world community, of 30 million Africans with HIV of inexpensive life saving medicine, which we could provide for a fraction of the cost of this senseless war.  It ...makes us 5 times as guilty as those Germans who lived through the Holocaust and did nothing." http://radio.weblogs.com/0103207/2004/05/17.html As Americans, we can make a difference. U2's Bono, working with Democrats.com, is requesting the assistance of concerned people. I hope you'll join me in this urgent cause.  Here's some info and a link: ONE VOICE - ONE GOAL - To Fight Global Aids & Poverty Did you know Americans can help stop 2.3 million Africans dying of AIDS each year? And that Americans can help put 104 million children in school around the world. The ONE Campaign is a new effort to rally Americans -- ONE by ONE -- to fight global AIDS and extreme poverty. The ONE Campaign is engaging Americans everywhere we gather -- in churches and synagogues, on the internet and college campuses, at community meetings and concerts. ONE will be promoted with the help of a diverse coalition of faith-based and antipoverty groups, celebrity spokespeople as well as corporate partnerships and local ONE Campaign organizers. Please read on and learn more about the ONE campaign, then sign your name to the petition and add your voice to those calling for an end to global AIDS and poverty. Your voice DOES make a difference.

RHINO'S BOTTOM LINE - Polio Special Series Polio Special Series by Janine Roberts, The Ecologist, January 2004 Polio Special Part 1: A shot in the dark Polio is a devastating disease; the preferred method for fighting it is vaccination. Yet there is a mass of historic evidence that suggests it is not caused by a virus but by industrial and agricultural pollution.  During the first half of the 20th century infantile paralysis surged like a bush fire, moving from place to place, afflicting large numbers of children, but only in the industrialised West. Prior to these outbreaks it affected very few and was often called `palsy'. In the 19th century scientists gave it the name `poliomyelitis', referring to the inflammation of the grey nerves of the spinal column in cases of paralysis. Poisonous metals were suspected of causing this disease, particularly lead, arsenic and mercury. In 1824 the English scientist John Cooke stated: `The fumes of these metals, or the receptance of them in solution into the stomach, often cause paralysis.'...

Towards the end of WWII, US military camps in the Philippines started to be sprayed daily with DDT in order to kill flies.(29) Writing in The Journal of the American Medical Association two years after the war, Albert Sabin reported that poliomyelitis became, after conflict, the major cause of death among the troops stationed at these camps. And yet unsprayed neighbouring populations were not affected by the disease.(30) At the end of the war, the US military's stocks of DDT were sold onto the public - despite the gravest warnings from establishment scientists...

Who is it trying to fool and why? The disease that struck down so many in the 20th century epidemics was then known as infantile paralysis, or poliomyelitis. It was this disease the polio vaccines were intended to eliminate. But today infantile paralysis is renamed as Acute Flaccid Paralysis (AFP). How could the WHO be claiming to have nearly eliminated this disease when, by its own figures, epidemics of AFP are not ending but rapidly getting worse...

Bernice Eddy's testimony to the U.S. Congress in 1972.  Poisonous vaccines The 1950's race to be the first with a polio vaccine was led by Jonas Salk & Albert Sabin. Both designed polio vaccines intended to make people immune by exposing them to millions of polio virus. Both would be administered in multiple doses to several hundred million children...
