By: Dr. Matthew Buckley, PSc.D, CTTH The CDC has been given an annual budget of over $11 billion dollars to spend (R), which is provided under the auspices of protecting the American public from various health care threats, but are they really doing that? There’s plenty of incriminating data available to prove that they’re doing just the opposite of that. Consider the following facts: 1) Executives within the CDC, including Dr. Frank DeStefano, are alleged to have cooked research data in order to conceal a link between the MMR vaccine and autism in black children, according to Dr. William Thompson, who has been given whistleblower protection status for bringing this fact to light. The study in question was published in 2004 in the Journal of Pediatrics, and has not been retracted despite the admission by Dr. Thompson that the paper is fraudulent. This is highly important since many pro-vaccination pediatricians will point to this study as “proof” that the MMR vaccine doesn’t cause autism, and is therefore “safe and...

By: Dr. Matthew Buckley, PSc.D, CTTH The US spends more per capita on healthcare than any other nation on the planet(R), at over $1 Trillion/year with costs growing. Over 3/4 of those costs are related to the treatment of chronic disease, such as autoimmune disorders, cancer, diabetes, alzheimers, autism, cadiovascular disease, etc.(R) The rates of all such diseases are growing, not decreasing, so obviously the true causes of these problems aren’t being addressed. If you were to try and describe virtually all forms of degenerative disease with just one word, that word would be “inflammation”. (R) The research is very clear about this fact. When examining the prime factors behind the surge in inflammatory issues there are principally 3 things that stand out as different about today versus 25 years ago. Those 3 things are the widespread consumption of RoundUp laden genetically modified food and wheat (R)(R), wireless technology (R), and a surge in the number of vaccines given relative to years past (R). The biological effects of...

Prolonged-release melatonin for insomnia – an open-label long-term study of efficacy, safety, and withdrawal The Clinique Lyon-Lumière, Meyzieu, France. Therapeutics and Clinical Risk Management (Impact Factor: 1.47). 07/2011; 7:301-11. DOI: 10.2147/TCRM.S23036 Source: PubMed ABSTRACT Prolonged-release melatonin (PRM) 2 mg is indicated for insomnia in patients aged 55 years and older. A recent double-blind placebo-controlled study demonstrated 6-month efficacy and safety of PRM in insomnia patients aged 18-80 and lack of withdrawal and rebound symptoms upon discontinuation. To investigate the efficacy, safety, and withdrawal phenomena associated with 6-12 months PRM treatment. Data from a prospective 6-12-month open-label study of 244 community dwelling adults with primary insomnia, who had participated in a placebo-controlled, double-blind dose-ranging trial of PRM. Patients received PRM nightly, followed by a 2-week withdrawal period. Main outcome measures were patient-reported sleep quality ratings (diary), adverse events, vital signs, and laboratory tests recorded at each visit, and withdrawal symptoms (CHESS-84 [Check-list Evaluation of Somatic Symptoms]). Nocturnal urinary 6-sulfatoxymelatonin excretion, a measure of the endogenous melatonin production, was assessed upon discontinuing...

Around August 2014, information came out revealing that a whistleblower had proof that the CDC was actively cooking data to conceal the link between the MMR vaccine and autism. This ongoing story continues to be one of the most censored and important health stories today. I originally reported on this subject here. Now, we have another whistleblower on the scene. Dr Judy Mikovits, PhD is a Biochemist, cellular and molecular biologist with over 30 years of scientific expertise. She has directed programs on HIV, cancer, epigenetics, and neuroimmune disease, with a focus on development of novel drug and diagnostic technologies. Dr. Mikovits holds a PhD in Biochemistry and Molecular Biology from George Washington University. Her dissertation was on HIV latency and mechanisms of immune activation in monocytes. Dr. Mikovits was a Postdoctoral Scholar in Molecular Virology at the Laboratory of Genomic Diversity, National Cancer Institute under Dr. David Derse. Over the past 26 years, she has published 51 scientific papers in peer-reviewed journals, and worked as a government scientist...

By: Dr. Matthew Buckley, PSc.D.,CTTH Caution: Do not read this while eating a meal. Doing so may be hazardous to your digestion. In previous posts, I have discussed the problem of parasites. The key points I have raised relate to the overall imprecision of standardized parasitic testing, where research suggests that under the best of conditions seasoned parasitologists could only accurately identify relatively common parasitic infections about 60% of the time.(R) This “high” rate of accuracy was only obtained following the rarely used “gold standard” of triple stool collection analysis. Most hospitals and clinics reportedly utilize single stool collection sampling, or a swab test, which is estimated to be far less accurate than the triple stool collection. Such poor analysis does not even take into account parasites such as strongyloides stercoralis, trichinella spiralis, or other parasites which spend very little time within the lower digestive systems of those they infect, thus further decreasing the probability of finding them with a stool test.(R)(R) Even with this relatively poor rate...

By: Dr. Matthew Buckley, PSc.D.,CTTH On May 1st, 2015 Iowa Governor declared a state of emergency after a number of chicken farms were experiencing an outbreak of bird flu, which led to the culling of millions of chickens as a precautionary measure to curb the outbreak. Naturally, the mainstream media is hyping a possibility of the bird flu virus jumping over and leading to a pandemic for the human population. Predictably, the same mainstream media is also crying out for the need of a “vaccine” to protect the birds. There’s a very important message here that everybody needs to understand. Noticeably absent from the reporting on the bird flu chicken farm outbreak is a characterization of the farming practices for the conventionally raised chickens, or a report of an outbreak on an organic farm. The outbreak is clearly occurring on factory farms, where the chickens live in close quarters and are fed non-organic feed that undoubtedly has Monsanto’s RoundUp residue within it (1). In case you didn’t know, the...

By: Dr. Matthew Buckley, PSc.D. In my previous posts (1)(2)(3) related to the inflammatory condition known as “microglial activation” I mentioned that the microglia have been found to exist primarily in two different states, “surveillance state” and “activation state”. The beneficial “surveillance mode” is where the microglia clean up debris in the nervous system, fight infections, and build neural connections. The harmful mode is where the microglia shift into an “activation” state and secrete toxic substances which break down the nervous system. Minimizing this shift into the activation mode appears to be central to preventing all forms of neurodegenerative conditions, including ALS, Alzheimers, Parkinsons, non-situational depression, etc. It is recommended that you read my other posts on microglial activation and its relation to chronic infections, diet, and vaccines to gain a true appreciation for its significance to overall health. Research indicates that the shift from the surveillance mode into the “activation state” is dependent on the level of “glutathione” (4), which is an antioxidant that our body produces by...

Quick Download Link Here. The media, your pediatrician, politicians and health authorities like the CDC and FDA claim that vaccines are safe and effective. So why do hundreds of peer-reviewed studies indicate the opposite is true? Read, download, and share this document widely to provide the necessary evidence-based counterbalance to the pro-vaccination propaganda that has globally infected popular consciousness and discussion like an intractable disease. It is abundantly clear that if the present-day vaccine climate, namely, that everyone must comply with the CDC’s one-size-fits-all vaccination schedule or be labeled a health risk to society at large, is to succumb to open and balanced discussion, it is the peer-reviewed biomedical evidence itself that is going to pave the way towards making rational debate on the subject happen. With this aim in mind, GreenMedInfo.com has painstakingly collected over 300 pages of study abstracts culled directly from the National Library of Medicine’s pubmed.gov bibliographic database on the wide-ranging adverse health effects linked to vaccines in the today’s schedule (over 200 distinct adverse...

By: Dr. Matthew Buckley, PSc.D. “Unless we put medical freedom into the Constitution, the time will come when medicine will organize into an undercover dictatorship to restrict the art of healing to one class of Men and deny equal privileges to others; the Constitution of the Republic should make a Special privilege for medical freedoms as well as religious freedom.” -Benjamin Rush, MD, Founding Father of America At the time of this writing there have been 100 cases of measles reported by the CDC, affecting primarily the VACCINATED population. As of January 24th, 2015 it was reported that 52 out of 80 measles outbreak cases had been vaccinated with the measles vaccine. While there is clear evidence that some of the measles virus infections are from the vaccine itself, there is still no word yet from “officialdom” on the full extent of vaccine transmitted measles virus infections from this outbreak. In a more sane world, one would expect that a careful analysis of what strain of measles virus is...

By: Dr. Matthew Buckley, PSc.D. There is a lot of debate as to what is the cause, or better yet, causes of autism. This post isn’t intended to cover all of the variables which fuel autism. It is intended to provide the reader with an understanding of chief mechanisms related to how consumption of Monsanto’s RoundUp, by way of consuming genetically modified corn, soy, canola oil, sugar beets, or any other “RoundUp ready” crop, as well as vaccines may fuel microglial activation, a leading factor in all neurodegenerative conditions, including autism (1)(2)(3), Alzheimer’s(4)(5), ALS(6)(7), Parkinson’s(8)(9), non-situational depression(10)(11), and virtually all forms of chronic illness. While this post is more directed towards the discussion of autism, the reality is that all of the factors that I discuss below are unquestionably major factors of consideration in all neurodegenerative conditions. What is microglial activation? In short, the microglia are the resident immune cells within the central nervous system. They are known to exist in two different states, and while in the “surveillance...

By: Dr. Matthew Buckley, PSc.D. If you were to do research into alternative therapies that appear to be providing clear results to the autistic community, you’d be hard pressed to find anything as impressive as the results that people are finding in using a protocol that Kerri Rivera has put together. Kerri Rivera is the author of “Healing the Symptoms Known As Autism”, and the mother of an autistic son. A core component to her protocol, which has reportedly documented over 160 outright cures of autism in the last 3 years, is an extensive protocol for dealing with parasites. I encourage anybody interested in autism to read her book and take note of the results she has documented. In a previous blog post, I discussed the problem that parasites represent to those of us dealing with the conventional health model. When you realize that the established gold standard triple stool sample test for parasitic diagnostics fails to identify parasites better than 60% of the time, even when the parasites...

By: Dr. Matthew Buckley, PSc.D. If you’ve worked with me before, you know that I emphasize the need for good gut health if somebody is ever to truly be well. Chronic low grade infections which exist in all forms of chronic illness, particularly when it comes to the gut, are commonly overlooked or under-diagnosed in the general population. One of the primary reasons for this is the poor sensitivity that exists for identifying gut infections, in particular parasitic infections. As I have detailed before (1), false negatives for parasites occur at least 40% of the time when the current “gold standard” testing for gut and parasitic infections are used. That means about half the people who have obvious symptoms of parasitic infections, never get the appropriate diagnosis and treatment and are therefore ultimately directed down the broken and deadly conveyer belt of the current medical model. They ultimately end up sicker than when they started, as their bodies become increasingly damaged by the parasites and the toxic medications which...

By: Dr. Matthew Buckley, PSc.D. Throughout the nation, one of the hottest social and political discussions right now is whether or not we should legalize marijuana. I believe that when examining what is known about the utility and the importance of the marijuana plant, specifically as it relates to health, it becomes clear what a grave mistake it is to deprive ourselves of this truly nutrient rich plant. I believe that its cannabinoid compounds meet the definition of “vitamins”, not just any vitamin, but a vitamin that may be necessary for controlling our bodies ability to eliminate cancerous cells, in addition to supporting numerous bodily functions.(1) It’s worth pointing out that this post is not about marijuana or hemp’s numerous other uses as a food, fuel, or fiber. What is a vitamin? A vitamin is defined as ” any of a group of organic compounds that are essential for normal growth and nutrition and are required in small quantities in the diet because they cannot be synthesized by the...

By: Dr. Matthew Buckley, PSc.D. Monsters inside you In terms of numbers of people killed or harmed by a pathogen throughout the world, parasitic infections are arguably at the top of the list. While many people, including health practitioners, tend to only think of parasites when a patient complains of persistent gastrointestinal complaints, the reality is that often times the parasites produce no obvious GI complaints. Likewise, if an individual suffering from a chronic illness hasn’t traveled out of the country, the health care practitioner may further discount the probability that a parasite is causing the problems. Due to my own challenges with parasites and their relationship with widespread fatigue and pain that I had, I have always acknowledged their likelihood in an individuals health complaint. Having said that, a bad problem appears to be getting worse as the number of people dealing with parasites appears to be increasing based on what I have seen in patients so far in 2014. What are some common symptoms of parasitic infections? ...

By: Dave Mihalovic Parents who wish to opt-out from mandatory vaccination schedules at their doctor’s office will soon be labeled as anti-vaccine parents in need of further enlightenment. The Clinician’s Guide to the Anti-Vaccinationists’ Galaxy, published in the journal Human Immunology attempts to address and convince anti-vaccine parents that their misconceptions about vaccinations are based on myths. In the limited time of an office visit, how can a primary care physician possibly make their case to parents that their child should be vaccinated? Especially with all the informed and educated parents who don’t want their children injected with known neurotoxins, immunotoxins, carcinogens and infertility chemicals, what is a doctor to do? Well, a Mayo Clinic vaccine advocate and pediatrician (of course) offers suggestions for refuting what he considers three of the most common myths about vaccines. Their article, The Clinician’s Guide to the Anti-Vaccinationists’ Galaxy, is published online in the journal Human Immunology. “Primary care physicians have less time than most to explain the scientific case for vaccination.

Posted on February 10, 2014 by WashingtonsBlog The Harvard School for Public Health reports: In a meta-analysis, researchers from Harvard School of Public Health (HSPH) and China Medical University in Shenyang for the first time combined 27 studies and found strong indications that fluoride may adversely affect cognitive development in children. Based on the findings, the authors say that this risk should not be ignored, and that more research on fluoride’s impact on the developing brain is warranted. The study [click for abstract] was published online in Environmental Health Perspectives on July 20, 2012. Environmental Health Perspectives is a publication of the United States National Institutes of Health’s National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences. Harvard’s announcement continues: The average loss in IQ was reported as a standardized weighted mean difference of 0.45, which would be approximately equivalent to seven IQ points for commonly used IQ scores with a standard deviation of 15. Some studies suggested that even slightly increased fluoride exposure could be toxic to the brain. Thus,...

Press release, European Network of Scientists for Social and Environmental Responsibility, 10 Dec 2013 The number of scientists and experts who have signed a joint statement[1] saying that GM foods have not been proven safe and that existing research raises concerns has climbed to 297 since the statement was released on 21 October. Dr Angelika Hilbeck, chair of the European Network of Scientists for Social and Environmental Responsibility (ENSSER), which published the statement, said, “We’re surprised and pleased by the strong support for the statement. It seems to have tapped into a deep concern in the global scientific community that the name of science is being misused to make misleading claims about the safety of GM technology.” The statement indirectly challenges claims by EU chief science adviser Anne Glover that there is no evidence that GM foods are any riskier than non-GM foods.[2] Dr Rosa Binimelis Adell, board member of ENSSER, said, “It seems that Anne Glover chooses to listen to one side of the scientific community only –...

By Rachel Champeau UCLA researchers now have the first evidence that bacteria ingested in food can affect brain function in humans. In an early proof-of-concept study of healthy women, they found that women who regularly consumed beneficial bacteria known as probiotics through yogurt showed altered brain function, both while in a resting state and in response to an emotion-recognition task. The study, conducted by scientists with the Gail and Gerald Oppenheimer Family Center for Neurobiology of Stress, part of the UCLA Division of Digestive Diseases, and the Ahmanson–Lovelace Brain Mapping Center at UCLA, appears in the current online edition of the peer-reviewed journal Gastroenterology. The discovery that changing the bacterial environment, or microbiota, in the gut can affect the brain carries significant implications for future research that could point the way toward dietary or drug interventions to improve brain function, the researchers said. “Many of us have a container of yogurt in our refrigerator that we may eat for enjoyment, for calcium or because we think it might help our...

Health Impact News The last report issued in 2013 by the Department of Justice (Vaccine Court), for compensation made by the Health and Human Services for people injured or killed by vaccines, was released in December 2013, covering the period of 8/16/2013 through 11/15/2013. The report is available as a Power Point presentation here. There were 139 claims settled during this time period, with 70 of them being compensated. So, just over 50% of the claims filed for vaccine damages were compensated during this period. Once again, the greatest percentage of damages compensated were for the influenza vaccine, and most of those were for Guillain-Barré Syndrome (GBS). Yet these facts, tucked away in a file on the Department of Health and Human Services website, are never reported in the mainstream media. So we will report them here. You can also read the report yourself in the Power Point file here. Of the 70 cases compensated, 42 of them were for the flu vaccine, or 60% of the cases settled where compensation...
