"Fish farming is so unhealthy that its products must be treated with antibiotics, and many health authorities advise against eating farm-grown fish. There is no doubt that the omega-3 fatty acids found in fish are valuable, but there are other, safer sources of these acids, which I will discuss in Chapter 8. 5. US DA recommendation: "When selecting and preparing meat, poultry, dry beans, and milk or milk products, make choices that are lean, low-fat, or fat-free." This is largely obfuscation—confusing and misleading for the vast majority of people who are unfamiliar with the science." - Caldwell B. Esselstyn, Jr., M.D., Prevent and Reverse Heart Disease (Get the book.)

"Liebig's elevation of protein dominated nutritionist thinking for decades as public health authorities worked to expand access to and production of the master nutrient (especially in the form of animal protein), with the goal of growing bigger, and therefore (it was assumed) healthier, people. (A high priority for Western governments fighting imperial wars.) To a considerable extent we still have a food system organized around the promotion of protein as the master nutrient." - Michael Pollan, In Defense of Food: An Eater's Manifesto (Get the book.) "More recently, scientists recognized that many of us also had a deficiency of folic acid in our diet, and in 1996 public health authorities ordered millers to start adding folic acid to flour as well. But it would take longer still for science to realize that this "Wonder Bread" strategy of supplementation, as one nutritionist has called it, might not solve all the problems caused by the refining of grain." - Michael Pollan, In Defense of Food: An Eater's Manifesto (Get the book.)

"American health authorities, still traumatized by the polio epidemic of the mid-1900s, embraced the concept of vaccination, and were willing to accept the negative aspects of thimerosal as a reasonable element of the risk/benefit ratio. However, even as further evidence of thimerosal toxicity kept accumulating, children began to be exposed to increasing amounts of it in vaccinations. For example, baby boomers who were born before 1963 received only one vaccination for polio, and one other combination vaccine for diphtheria, tetanus, and pertussis (DTP)." - Kenneth Bock, Healing the New Childhood Epidemics: Autism, ADHD, Asthma, and Allergies: The Groundbreaking Program for the 4-A Disorders (Get the book.) "In addition, health authorities still cling to the accelerated schedule of immunizations. Despite all this, I am absolutely not anti-vaccination. I am simply in favor of safer vaccinations, administered properly, to healthy children, without thimerosal, over an extended time period. In this book, I will tell you about safer ways to have your children vaccinated. Please see Appendix #1 for more information. The vaccinations, though, are by no means the only reason for the onset of the autism epidemic, or the other 4-A epidemics." - Kenneth Bock, Healing the New Childhood Epidemics: Autism, ADHD, Asthma, and Allergies: The Groundbreaking Program for the 4-A Disorders (Get the book.)

"In 1999, Christopher Fink's malnourished two-year-old son was admitted to a Utah hospital by health authorities after it emerged that Fink had been feeding him only watermelon and lettuce. After allegedly kidnapping his hospitalized son, Fink pled guilty to the charges of attempted aggravated assault and second-degree felony child abuse and admitted that the borderline fruitarian diet was the cause of his son's health problems. Fruitarians seem to prefer the colloquial definition of a fruit rather than the botanical." - Adam Leith Gollne, The Fruit Hunters: A Story of Nature, Adventure, Commerce and Obsession (Get the book.)

"These inspections should be performed by local health authorities, and safety certification should be prominently posted on salon windows. [BEGIN BOX] Is There Mercury in Your Mascara? You may not realize it, but many brands of mascara, as well as eye-liners and skin-lightening creams, used in salons and available for purchase in beauty supply stores contain mercury, which is legally added as a preservative and germ killer. Under federal law, up to 65 parts per million of mercury can be added to beauty products." - Samuel S. Epstein, Randall Fitzgerald, Toxic Beauty: How Cosmetics and Personal Care Products Endanger Your Health . . . And What You Can Do about It (Get the book.) "A nanoproduct aerosol bathroom spray was recalled by German health authorities in 2006 after eighty people reported severe respiratory problems. Six people were hospitalized with fluid in their lungs. • The International Center for Technology Assessment, together with a range of other organizations, petitioned the FDA in 2006 to monitor products containing nanoparticles —including over 100 cosmetics and sunblocks ?for their toxic effects. This petition was filed in conjunction with the release of a comprehensive report on the dangers of nano-cosmetics by Friends of the Earth." - Samuel S. Epstein, Randall Fitzgerald, Toxic Beauty: How Cosmetics and Personal Care Products Endanger Your Health . . . And What You Can Do about It (Get the book.)

"Constipation is basically defined as difficult and/or infrequent bowel movements, hard stools and a feeling of incomplete elimination. Some health authorities recommend a bowel movement after every meal. There is room for individual variation, however, it is unhealthy to have less then three bowel movements per week. THE CAUSES OF CONSTIPATION There are many causes of constipation, the primary two are a lack of fibre in the diet and not enough water intake." - Heather Caruso, Your Drug-Free Guide to Digestive Health (Get the book.)

"Mindful of the social and health effects of alcoholism, public health authorities are loath to recommend drinking, but the fact is that people who drink moderately and regularly live longer and suffer considerably less heart disease than teetotalers. Alcohol of any kind appears to reduce the risk of heart disease, but the polyphenols in red wine (resveratrol in particular) appear to have unique protective qualities." - Michael Pollan, In Defense of Food: An Eater's Manifesto (Get the book.)

"Working with the strategic health authorities in England, the 34 cancer networks and the pharmaceutical industry, the report found that at the narrowest end of the range of availability was Mabthera for non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, with a 2.6-fold variation, and the widest was Temodal for brain cancer, which has an 11.6-fold variation between health authorities.19 This means that for every patient that qualified for Mabthera in the most drug-abstemious authority, 2.6 did elsewhere. And where one patient gets to use Temodal in one area, more than 11 do elsewhere." - Jacky Law, Big Pharma: Exposing the Global Healthcare Agenda (Get the book.)

"This contradicts an earlier report. health authorities should develop safer vaccination strategies and support further investigation of the hypothesized link between the MMR vaccine and autism Neurodevelopmental disorders following thimerosal-containing childhood immunizations: a follow-up analysis. Geier D, Geier MR.—MedCon, Inc., Maryland, USA. The International Journal of Toxicology. 2004 Nov.-Dec.;23(6):369-76." - Gary Null and Amy McDonald, The Food-Mood Connection: Nutrition-based and Environmental Approaches to Mental Health and Physical Wellbeing (Get the book.)

"As Long spoke, some of the ingredients he referred to, those which would have to be reported to the state health authorities, were already in the process of being taken off the market in Europe by his own company, as well as by other U.S. exporters lobbying against the measure. Substitutions were being found. Data was already prepared for the EU's Health and Consumer Affairs Directorate; it must be supplied on demand to national health authorities." - Mark Schapiro, Exposed: The Toxic Chemistry of Everyday Products and What's at Stake for American Power (Get the book.)

"Stringent licensing conditions now ensure that acupuncture treatments' hygiene and cleanliness meet with the approval of appropriate health authorities. Because of the danger of blood-borne infection being passed between patients, reusable needles must be sterilised in an autoclave machine. Nowadays the widespread use of disposable acupuncture needles in sealed, sterilised packs has reduced the risk of contamination." - Dr Ron Roberts, Asthma Controlled Naturally: Techniques That Work (Get the book.)

"Guylaine Lanctot, author of The Medical Mafia, is very blunt regarding health authorities' claims that vaccines protect us against contagious illnesses and epidemics. She calls this "the big lie." - Ron Garner, Conscious Health: A Complete Guide to Wellness Through Natural Means (Get the book.)

"German health authorities. Scientists there have researched the herb for more than 25 years, finding that it increases blood supply to the heart, tends to lower heart rate, regulates cardiac rhythms and increases the strength of contractions by the heart muscle. Freeze-dried hawthorn in capsule form is widely available. The standard dose is one to two capsules, two to four times per day, depending on your condition and practitioner's orders. Be sure to check with your doctor before you try this herbal remedy." - Bottom Line Books, Uncommon Cures For Everyday Ailments (Get the book.)

"Actually, all independent health authorities I interviewed insist that it's safer to stay away from all unnatural, chemically produced, nonnutritive sugar substitutes and choose foods that are naturally sweet instead. "Artificial sweeteners can be just as harmful as sugar," contends Dr. Appleton. Toxicologist and nutritionist Janet Starr Hull, Ph.D., C.N., agrees. "Artificial sweeteners are simply not the answer to dieting. Nor are they effective ways to deal with hypoglycemia, diabetes, or insulin resistance." - Connie Bennett, C.H.H.C. with Stephen T. Sinatra, M.D., Sugar Shock!: How Sweets and Simple Carbs Can Derail Your Life-- and How YouCan Get Back on Track (Get the book.)

"In a report issued by German health authorities and published in a 1989 issue of the Lancet, the mumps vaccine was revealed to have caused 27 specific neurological reactions, including meningitis, febrile convulsions, encephalitis, and epilepsy. A Yugoslavian study linked 1 per 1,000 cases of mumps encephalitis directly to the vaccine. The Pediatric Infectious Disease Journal in the U.S. reported in 1989 that the rate varies from 1 in 405 to 1 in 7,000 shots for mumps. Although mumps is generally a mild illness and the vaccine's side effects are severe, it is still included in the MMR vaccine." - Andreas Moritz, Timeless Secrets of Health & Rejuvenation: Unleash The Natural Healing Power That Lies Dormant Within You (Get the book.) "Most health authorities are not exactly helpful in supporting parents to choose what is best for their children. In spite of damaging evidence, such as the following, they still support the use of immunizations. For instance, the use of the mercury-based thimerosal as a preservative in vaccines has been associated with autism. Despite the evidence, mercury is still being added to vaccines at completely unsafe levels considering the fact that it is a known neurotoxin." - Andreas Moritz, Timeless Secrets of Health & Rejuvenation: Unleash The Natural Healing Power That Lies Dormant Within You (Get the book.)

"Nevertheless, even with some health authorities using it more than twice as much as others, the report insists the differences are not to do with funding restrictions. 'Instead,' it writes, 'the main impact on usage seems to be constraints in service capacity and differences in clinical practice.'21 That doesn't explain the storm that ensued once the Scottish equivalent of NICE, the Scottish Medicines Consortium (SMC) approved the drug's use in earlier stages of the disease. In the capital, cancer consultants had also recommended its earlier use to their Trusts, which are the funding bodies. " - Jacky Law, Big Pharma: Exposing the Global Healthcare Agenda (Get the book.)

"In fact, it is tragic that no one confronts these health authorities on the misleading statements they continue to make. Read the opening paragraph of this scathing report by Gardiner Harris in the New York Times: "Despite promising discoveries and multibillion-dollar investments, cancer research is quietly undergoing a crisis. Few drugs are being marketed, and most of those that have been introduced are enormously expensive and provide few of the benefits that patients expect." - Bill Sardi, You Don't Have to be Afraid of Cancer Anymore (Get the book.)

"In case of ingestion, contact your local poison control health authorities," or some such warning. But let's say you're hungry and you eat a handful of pesticide anyway. That pesticide in your body will "rev up" the enzyme systems in all of your cells that are responsible for eliminating nasty things. If you then go inside and eat a handful of peanuts dripping with aflatoxin, your body's enzyme systems will be primed to deal with the aflatoxin, and you'll end up with fewer aflatoxin-induced tumors." - T. Colin Campbell, Ph.D. and Thomas M. Campbell II, The China Study: The Most Comprehensive Study of Nutrition Ever Conducted and the Startling Implications for Diet, Weight Loss and Long-term Health (Get the book.)

"Journal Inorganic Biochemistry 99:1865-70, 2005] Public health authorities may give aluminum a clean bill of health in regard to cancer, but need to warn the public there are other health concerns involving aluminum. Is cancer contagious? Well, cancer authorities say no, however they do indicate humans can transfer viruses that cause cancer, such as the papilloma virus during sexual contact, which can result in cervical cancer. Of interest are reports which show that a small percentage of patients receiving organ transplants develop tumors that originated from the implanted organ." - Bill Sardi, You Don't Have to be Afraid of Cancer Anymore (Get the book.)

"And had he been operating alone, the refusals by the health authorities to fund his treatment may well have gone unnoticed, as they had in the past. But occasionally events act to bring together a number of seemingly unrelated forces to create a whirlwind of such intensity that basic infrastructures become unsettled. Those forces concerned the press, the political establishment, modern healthcare systems, the choices people are offered, and, most pertinently of all, the authoritarian nature of science in determining those choices." - Jacky Law, Big Pharma: Exposing the Global Healthcare Agenda (Get the book.)

"They were buying 100% legal drugs in Canada and being treated like common criminals by U.S. health authorities for daring to go outside the monopoly drug racket operated in the United States and protected by the FDA. This event only became public after Sen. Mark Dayton, D-Minn., complained to the FDA. He asked, "Is it the beginning of a new practice of harassment and intimidation against elderly citizens who are traveling to Canada to make their prescription drug purchases?" U.S. Customs and Border Patrol Officers, www.CBD." - Mike Adams, Natural Health Solutions (Get the book.)

"Health authorities have long maintained that the AIDS virus cannot survive without a host, but the Pasteur Institute researchers demonstrated that HIV can survive outside the body, and that it can live for up to eleven days in untreated sewage. Apparently, HIV is not as fragile as has been thought. While there are varying points of view, we believe it is possible that the virus may live for many days outside the body, even in a dried, inactive state, and then become infectious again. At this time, there is no cure for AIDS." - Phyllis A. Balch, CNC, Prescription for Nutritional Healing, 4th Edition: A Practical A-to-Z Reference to Drug-Free Remedies Using Vitamins, Minerals, Herbs & Food Supplements (Get the book.)

"In California, the CTFA was channeling $600,000 into an aggressive lobbying campaign to kill an effort by legislators to require that carcinogenic or reproductively toxic chemicals in cosmetics be disclosed to state health authorities. The proposal, called the Safe Cosmetics Act, was inspired by the Cosmetics Directive. Health advocates wanted to know which, if any, of the substances the state had already listed as carcinogens, mutagens, and reproductive toxins—which it had been required to do by state voters in 1986—were contained in cosmetics." - Mark Schapiro, Exposed: The Toxic Chemistry of Everyday Products and What's at Stake for American Power (Get the book.) "Procter & Gamble, like hundreds of other cosmetic companies operating in Europe, was for the first time compelled to prepare "safety portfolios," to be made available on demand to European health authorities, for the ingredients in its mascara, lipstick, hair dye, shampoo, shaving cream, skin cream, perfume, deodorants, nail polish, tanning lotion, and other products. Every quarter, a committee of toxicologists drawn from universities and laboratories across Europe, known as the Scientific Committee on Cosmetic Products, convenes in Brussels to review those ingredients." - Mark Schapiro, Exposed: The Toxic Chemistry of Everyday Products and What's at Stake for American Power (Get the book.) "Data was already prepared for the EU's Health and Consumer Affairs Directorate; it must be supplied on demand to national health authorities. In Europe, Procter & Gamble, like other big American companies, was collecting toxicity data that in California the industry claimed would be an "unreasonable and unnecessary regulatory burden" to supply. Few Americans were aware of this seeming contradiction. But then, what American keeps track of chemical regulations when they're on a trip to Europe? Janet Nudelman, program director of the Breast Cancer Fund, is one of the few." - Mark Schapiro, Exposed: The Toxic Chemistry of Everyday Products and What's at Stake for American Power (Get the book.)

"If we see any pattern in these cases studies, we will present the evidence to health authorities and researchers and will push for a full investigation. Identifying trends If health practitioners or population health monitors notice increases in any symptom, disease or illness after the introduction of GM ingredients, please also contact us. In the United States, rbGH was introduced in 1994. GM crops appeared in 1996.
