New Hopes for Treating Traumatic Brain Injury
Dr. David Wright, associate professor of emergency medicine at Emory University, talks about research conducted with his colleagues, Dr. Donald Stein and Dr. Art Kellermann, that involves the use of progesterone for treating traumatic brain injury. In the summer of 2009, the NIH awarded a 3-year grant of $14.5 million for these Emory researchers to lead a nationwide study on the effectiveness of this treatment. (Sponsored by the Provost’s Office “Great Scholars” series and Emory College of Arts and Sciences.)

HPV: Treating Cancer Caused by Viruses (Science Bulletins)
Scientists estimate that as much as 17% of all cancers are caused by viruses, including human papillomaviruses (HPV), a ubiquitous viral family. In this new documentary by Science Bulletins, the American Museum of Natural History’s current-science video program, doctors and molecular biologists uncover HPV’s complex life history to treat cervical and oral cancers — and even prevent them. This video was funded by a NIH Science Education Partnership Award.

Could ‘High Touch’ Health Care Lower Costs? – Zeke Emanuel
Complete video at: http://fora.tv/2009/07/03/The_Human_Side_of_Medicine
White House health care policy advisor Ezekiel Emanuel argues that technological advancements in health care are ineffectual without “face-to-face, people-to-people, more human” interactions. He says improvement in doctor-patient relationships are needed to improve health care and drive down costs.

2009 H1N1 vaccine: Big Pharma, Adjuvants, and Eugenics (part 2)
# Squalene and the Autoimmune System
Gary Matsumoto is a New York-based award-winning investigative journalist. His 2004 book, Vaccine: A Covert Government Experiment That`s Killing Our Soldiers–And Why GI`s Are Only The First Victims, took sharp issue with NIH (National Institute of Health) results and the Pentagon`s denial of Gulf War Syndrome.
Matsumoto wrote: “Other research shows that squalene is the experimental anthrax vaccine ingredient that caused devastating autoimmune diseases and deaths for many Gulf War veterans from the US, UK, and Australia. (Note – French troops in Gulf War I were not vaccinated and none of them came out with Gulf War Syndrome). “Yet it (squalene) continues in use today and for new vaccines development in labs. There`s a `close match between the squalene-induced diseases in animals and those observed in humans injected with this oil”
“The immune system (normally) see(s) and recognizes it as an oil molecule native to the body. Squalene . . . is found throughout the nervous system and the brain. When injected in the body, the immune system attacks it as an enemy to be eliminated. . . . injecting it galvanize(s) the immune system into attacking it, which can produce self-destructive cross reactions against the same molecule in the places where . . . where it is critical to the health of the nervous system. Once self-destruction begins, it doesn`t stop as the body keeps making the molecule that the immune system is trained to attack and destroy.”
This is basically the cytokine storm that kills! Guillienne Barre syndrome, which was uncommon prior to 1976 but became common after the 1976 swine flu vaccinations, is a nervous system disorder that often leads to paralysis, and Gulf War Syndrome is the label used for veterans who wound up mysteriously impaired with nagging physical and mental health problems after multiple vaccinations.
By the way, some recent articles on the Internet are posting inaccurate and disparate figures on 1976 flu vaccination victims. Twenty five to fifty deaths with several hundred Guillienne Barre or vaccine induced illnesses are way too low. Even the CBS 60 Minutes episode, aired in 1979, on the 1976 flu vaccination fiasco has it at several thousand vaccine related long term illnesses and 300 deaths, while Eustice Mullins in his book Death by Injection has it pegged at 1600 deaths!
It`s very possible that legal efforts within the system will not be effective. Networking and civil disobedience may be the only option of resistance, and running and hiding may be the only way of avoiding. Do more of your own research and be vigilant without panicking.
