Death by Modern Medicine by Carolyn Dean
“Death by Modern Medicine” goes far beyond the statistics of deaths due to drugs. It shows how the allopathic medical monopoly has created a Health Care system that fails to encourage good health, especially by prevention. The book documents the tales of propaganda, health care bureaucracy, and the focus on profits instead of healing. It shows, statistically, that the number 1 killer in North America, is in fact, one of the most heavily regulated products, services and facilities industry in North America – The Allopathic Medical Disease Industry.
You will find, in this 400 plus page book, the starting steps to understanding the difference between a “profit from disease” health care focused business and a patient centered health care system. “Death by Modern Medicine” provides the evidence from the “Allopathic Investment Industrys” own data that the worst “Pandemic” in modern times is deliberately not only created, but also perpetuated by the “Allopathic Disease Investment Industry ” interests, AND by government and public sector unions.

Gut and Psychology Syndrome: Natural Treatment for Autism, Dyspraxia, A.D.D., Dyslexia, A.D.H.D., Depression, Schizophrenia by Natasha Campbell-McBride
“Gut and Psychology Syndrome”, also known as the GAPS Diet, captures Dr. Natasha Campbell-McBride’s experience and knowledge of nutrition and the use of probiotics.
Dr. Natasha Campbell-McBride set up The Cambridge Nutrition Clinic in 1998. As a parent of a child diagnosed with learning difficulties, she was acutely aware of the difficulties facing other parents like her, and she has devoted much of her time to helping these families. She realised that nutrition played a critical role in helping children and adults to overcome their disabilities, and has pioneered the use of probiotics in this field. Her willingness to share her knowledge has resulted in her contributing to many publications, as well as presenting at numerous seminars and conferences on the subjects of learning disabilities and digestive disorders.
She believes that the link between learning disabilities, the food and drink that we take, and the condition of our digestive system is absolute, and the results of her work have supported her position on this subject. The GAPS Diet is based on the Specific Carbohydrate Diet, otherwise known as SCD (which was developed by Dr. Haas, and popularized by Elaine Gottshall ).
Find out why the GAPS Diet can have a positive impact on gut health and a wide variety of health conditions.

Cervical cancer is one of the leading causes of women cancer deaths in developing countries where health care resources are lacking and not adequate, particularly in the poor rural regions.
A cheap screening method is helping to detect for early signs of cervical cancer. It requires a swab of vinegar (with 3 to 5 percent acetic acid) on the cervix and after three to five minutes if any area turns white, it is a sign of a pre-cancerous or cancerous lesion. A lesion is known to have more DNA, and thus consists more protein compared to other tissues. Acetic acid coagulates with the protein which results in a whitish appearance. Any detection of an abnormal lesion will be frozen and destroyed using cryotherapy, or cold therapy, which utilises a metal rod cooled by a tank of carbon dioxide.
This test is also called visual inspection with acetic acid (VIA) and it was developed by the Johns Hopkins School of Medicine based on a well known procedure among gynecologists in the United States, in which vinegar is used to confirm a positive Pap (Papanicolaou) smear. It has since been introduced in pilot projects in more than 20 nations such as Peru, South Africa, Indonesia, India, Philippines and Thailand.
Cervical cancer is cancer at the neck of the womb called the cervix. The Human Papilloma Virus (HPV) is a group of over 100 different types of viruses, and some are known to infect the cells in cervix, leading to cancerous growth. In its early days the cancer does not cause any symptoms. In later stages symptoms are unusual pelvic pain, pain while urinating or abnormal vaginal bleeding.
Benefits of The VIA Screening
Just regular table vinegar is used which makes it a truly inexpensive procedure.
A 1999 field study in Zimbabwe comparing the vinegar test method with a Pap smear found that the acid test detected more lesions though at the same time it was also more prone to false positives. However it is still proving to be an effective and safe alternative to the more expensive Pap smear for screening early signs of cervical cancer. It can help the health care personnel make an instant decision as to whether a person needs further treatment.
Both the VIA screening and cold treatment can be performed on the same visit, unlike a Pap smear where you have to go back home and wait for lab results to come back before you visit your doctor a second time to hear the outcome. The procedure can be carried out by a nurse or a medical worker after three to four days of training.

“People who have had a mild stroke are five times more likely to have a stroke over the next two years than the general population. Proper treatment and management of risk factors can help prevent another stroke.”
- Dr. Michael Hill, Heart and Stroke Foundation
My friend’s father was walking to a nearby grocery store one morning when he suddenly felt dizzy. He stopped for a while and then after the symptom sort of went away pretty quickly, he went on his way. Later in the day he went for a checkup and was told what occurred to him that morning was in fact a mild stroke. But these days, you don’t have to be a senior to experience a mild stroke, cases of younger people in their 40s and below are rising.
How Minute Is A Mild Stroke?
A stroke is an attack on the brain, not the heart. It occurs when blood supply (carrying oxygen) to the brain is interrupted, either by a clot or bleeding, causing brain cells deprived of oxygen to die off. The severity of the stroke will depend on the extent of the brain cell damage and the area of brain that is affected.
Symptoms associated with a stroke include headache, dizziness, vertigo, lack of coordination and balance, vision disturbances, numbness or tingling in the face, hands, arms or legs, facial sagging, confusion, and slurred speech.
A mini stroke, or more formally called a transient ischemic attack, is a limited interruption of blood supply. That means symptoms usually resolved in just a few minutes to one or two hours. Though the symptoms are short-lived they are in fact a grave warning of a subsequent full stroke within the first month or a five-fold risk of a stroke with two years. Proper treatment and management of risk factors can help prevent another stroke.
If you think you are exhibiting mild stroke symptoms, seek medical help immediately, do not ignore them! The consequences of a stroke are fatal or disabling.
Smoking, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, obesity, diabetes, alcohol are some of the common causes of stroke.
Mild Stroke Aftermath
One study reported in USA Today found that a majority of people experience depression and sleeplessness within six weeks after having their first stroke. The researchers from the University of Montreal had interviewed 200 stroke victims who also expressed a significant drop in their perceived quality of life.
How To Prevent A Stroke
Healthy dietary choices play a role in preserving good health. Avoid these foods known to increase the risk or trigger stroke: trans-fats (found mainly in processed foods and snacks), cured meat products and artificial sweeteners. Eat a variety of clean and fresh vegetables and whole fruits.
Quit smoking and limit alcohol intake. Exercise daily for 20 to 30 minutes, consider these low impact exercises.
