Meeting a fellow traveler with the same disease was great, This young man is in complete remission. His Stem cells transplants and tons of chemo therapy have put him in this happy place. I pray for his complete recovery to stay with him.
This week, while traveling, (yes it is awesome to be well enough travel out for a few days) we listened to a story, fictional, called Vaccine Nation by David Lender, it put chills up my spine. It quoted so many facts in this story you have to know that a large part of this actually happens. This is about the rate of Autism in Children forced to receive government mandated vaccines, before they are allowed to go to school. I have a neighbor who had a perfectly normal child till the age of 2, whom after many shots, developed autism. Proving this is next to impossible. 10 years ago the autism rate in children was 1 in 10,000 today it is 1 in 100 plus. If this does not scare you it should.
Apparently the phama industry lobbied Congress to pass a law that removes them from being sued over the vaccines, and to show harm from them takes years of fighting. The pharma industry has all the clout and the backing of congress. You have to go before a "medical" committee to get anywhere and hope they are not paid off by the same industry. Shocking! http://www.naturalnews.com/036499_Glaxo_whistleblower_bribery.html
I bring this up because today out it pops that GlaxoSmithKline pharmacetuicals was fined 3 Billion dollars in a fraud case, by selling mislabeled drugs, drugs to children that expressly forbid anyone under 18 taking them and huge kickbacks to doctors to write uneeded prescriptions for same.
I bet the 3 Billion was chicken feed when measured against 12 years of profiteering from this scheme.
What bothers me the most is why all of these people are not in jail.
Our society is falling apart, not just on election issues but on the people who are supposed to be leading us, who are as corrupt as the people doing dirty deeds, it is so sad. We can only pray for something to change.
On a lighter note, many natural substances are being studied to show the effectiveness, of adding them to the chemotherapy and lessening the side effects, as well as making them more effective.
Margaret of Margarets Corner wrote a wonderful blog on this.
