  4. Meet “Ms. Ernie,” the world’s oldest competitive bodybuilding grandma
    By Tecca | Today in Tech – Fri, Jun 15, 2012

    This 75-year-old weight-lifting granny could probably beat you in an arm-wrestling competition without even tr …

    Are you struggling to stay in shape? If you need any inspiration, look no further than 75-year-old Ernestine Shepherd, the oldest female competitive bodybuilder in the world.

    According to Shepherd, she wasn’t always athletic — in fact, just the opposite. It wasn’t until she turned 71 that she took up the sport. But she isn’t just doing it for her own health. She hopes to inspire others into starting a healthy lifestyle as well, ideally sooner than she did.

    “If ever there were an anti-aging pill, I would call it exercise,” explains Shepherd, who teaches an exercise class at her Baltimore, Maryland church. “Age is nothing but a number.”

    Be sure to watch the BBC’s interview with Shepherd. And if you want even more inspiration to get off the couch, check out this 104-year-old paragliding wonderwoman who won fame by one-upping her 101-year-old competition.

  5. shocking these criminals should not be allowed to be in business imagine they have put people lives in jeopardy and on top of that allowed to go free with a slap on the wrist and a small guy gets convicted and goes to jail for selling an ounce of marijuana ,


  6. Scientists have pinpointed a likely source for many cases of autism and schizophrenia: Men who become fathers later in life pass on more brand-new genetic mutations to their offspring.
    Although older mothers are more likely to have children with chromosomal disorders such as Down syndrome because of problems with older eggs, the study found that practically all of the novel mutations detected in children came from the father’s sperm.
    And the older the father, the more mutations he passed on.

    PATERSON, NJ — A New York area–based cardiologist has confessed to ordering unnecessary tests and procedures on patients to the tune of $19 million[1]. Dr Jose Katz, the owner and chief executive officer of Cardio-Med Services and Comprehensive Healthcare and Medical Services, admitted to ordering diagnostic tests regardless of patient symptoms and falsely diagnosing a majority of his patients with angina to justify

    The Record, a New Jersey newspaper, reports that Katz also admitted that he allowed unlicensed practitioners to treat and diagnose patients, including Mario Roncal, who obtained a medical degree in Puerto Rico but was never licensed to practice any US state. Katz also kept his wife on the payroll to make her eligible for Social Security benefits even though she did little or no work.

    Katz made the admissions to US District Judge Jose Linares during a federal court hearing in Newark, NJ, last week. The government accused Katz of operating a “medical mill,” where he ordered the same series of diagnostic tests on his patients, directed other employees or other physicians at his companies to perform the unnecessary tests, and falsely diagnosed a majority of his patients with angina. Katz even billed Medicare and Medicaid $15 million for enhanced external counterpulsation (EECP) for the treatment of angina, something his attorney admitted was unnecessary.

    As part of his plea, Katz admitted that he bilked Medicare, Medicaid, and other insurers out of $19 million between 2004 and 2012. This is the largest amount of healthcare fraud discovered in New York, New Jersey, and Connecticut, the article states. Katz denied that the fraud put any of his patients at risk, insisting “the patients are more important than anything else.”

    According to the Record, Katz was paid more than $70 million from Medicare and Medicaid between 2005 and 2012. His busy practices, which included offices in Paterson and Union City, NJ, and Manhattan and Queens, NY, treated hundreds of patients each day. Katz also advertised extensively, spending $6 million on Spanish-language TV and radio ads over several years.

    Katz was released on a $200 000 bond and faces between 57 and 87 months in prison. He is scheduled to be sentenced on July 23, 2013. Roncal, the unlicensed physician, has already pleaded guilty to healthcare fraud and is awaiting sentencing.

    Don’t know how much attention is being paid to this pest in Bim but the latest concern out of the US is that it can cause illnesses in humans including meningitis.

    The authorities in Florida are trying to get Gov’t permission to use another control agent (don’t know the name but it seems there are some environmental concerns) perhaps the B’dos Gov’t should ask the USA for help in eradicating his pest or increase the bounty for them so people would be tempted to go out and collect them.
    Note Barbados is mentioned in the report.

  15. Cancer is threatening to overwhelm Latin American countries, experts writing in Lancet Oncology warn.
    There are far fewer cases of cancer in the region than in the US or Europe – but the proportion who die is far higher, they say.
    Late diagnosis and poor access to treatment are the main reasons for the disparity, they add.
    They said as life expectancy increased, cancer would become more common, and many countries would not cope.
    The experts looked at cancer incidence and care in the Latin American and Caribbean region, including the following countries: Argentina, Bahamas, Bolivia, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Costa Rica, Dominican Republic, Ecuador, Guatemala, French Guiana, Guyana, Honduras, Haiti, Mexico, Nicaragua, Panama, Peru, Puerto Rico, Paraguay and El Salvador.
    Risk factors
    Writing in a Lancet Oncology report that is being officially launched at a specialist conference in Sao Paulo, Brazil, they say as the economies of these countries grow, and standards of living increase, people are increasingly adopting the habits of more developed countries.

  19. The Lead Vaccine Developer Comes Clean So She Can “Sleep At Night”: Gardasil and Cervarix Don’t Work, Are Dangerous, and Weren’t Tested
    Author: Sarah Cain LifeWise
    Dr. Diane Harper was the lead researcher in the development of the human papilloma virus vaccines, Gardasil and Cervarix. She is the latest to come forward and question the safety and effectiveness of these vaccines. She made the surprising announcement at the 4th International Public Conference on Vaccination, which took place in Reston, Virginia on Oct. 2nd through 4th, 2009. Her speech was supposed to promote the Gardasil and Cervarix vaccines, but she instead turned on her corporate bosses in a very public way. When questioned about the presentation, audience members remarked that they came away feeling that the vaccines should not be used.

  20. Japan withdraws support of controversial HPV vaccine over safety concerns
    by Thaddeus Baklinski
     

    TOKYO, October 16, 2013 (LifeSiteNews.com) – While jurisdictions throughout the Western world continue to promote the HPV vaccine, the Japanese government has pulled its support of the controversial drug and sent formal notifications to local health officials saying that it should not be administered until safety concerns are investigated.
    The vaccines in question, Gardasil and Cervarix, are meant to combat Human Papilloma Virus (HPV), thought to be the most common sexually transmitted infection in the world. HPV is known to cause multiple types of cancers, including cervical, anal, penile, and throat cancer.
    The vaccines do not prevent cancer cells from forming in the body but purport to prevent the four most common strains of HPV, out of an estimated 150 strains.

  28. Millions of Genetically Modified Mosquitoes Could Be Released in Florida

    Jan. 25, 2015

    Jason Garcia Jason Garcia, a field inspector with the Florida Keys Mosquito Control District, tests a sprayer that could be used in the future to spray pesticides to control mosquitos in Key West, Fla., on Oct. 4, 2012 Wilfredo Lee—AP

    "This is essentially using a mosquito as a drug to cure disease"

    Scientists could release millions of genetically modified mosquitoes in the Florida Keys in an attempt to kill off insects that spread the diseases dengue and chikungunya — if their proposal wins regulatory approval.

    The male mosquitoes, created by British biotech firm Oxitec, are engineered to keep their partners from producing offspring when they mate in the wild, the Sun Sentinel reports. The number of mosquitoes capable of spreading the diseases would be reduced if enough wild mosquitoes mate with the genetically modified population.

    “This is essentially using a mosquito as a drug to cure disease,” Michael Doyle, executive director of the Florida Keys Mosquito Control District, told the Sun Sentinel.

    Despite the benefits of reducing incidences of dengue and chikungunya, two viral diseases that cause a number of uncomfortable conditions, many are wary about releasing genetically modified organisms into the wild. More than 130,000 people have signed a Change.org petition opposing the release of the mosquitoes in the Florida Keys.

  32. Article on obesity

    This is an excellent article.  Although it primarily focuses on childhood obesity, it hints at the primary cause of today’s obesity epidemic.  For a full explanation of why this occurs you need to understand how we got where we are today (i.e. from quadrupedic apes to upright humans over a period of some 5 million years).  This is explained in "Why Humans Evolved" by Bentley Norville.  We all need to move more, adaptable, varied, complex movement, not the type most of us are engaged in today.

    SHOULD WE GO BACK TO EATING YAMS INSTEAD OF CHEFFETTE?

    UWI Mona discovers anti cancer properties in yams

    Posted: July 08, 2014

    Research conducted by Dr. Dennis Bailey, for his Doctorate Degree, has revealed the presence of anti-cancer properties in indigenous varieties of yams cultivated in Jamaica, namely the Dioscorea alata cultivar more popularly known as St. Vincent Dark night and Moonshine Yams.

    Bailey confirmed the anti cancer potency of the yams by conducting research at the cellular level, inside the body of rats and in test tubes, using cancer cell lines in the breast, colon and skin. He found that their cancer reduced in size dramatically in comparison to the control group of rats.

    According to Bailey, “purple yams contain potent phytochemicals which slow down the growth of cancer cells. Assessment of these tubers has revealed several anthocyanins and high antioxidant properties which prevent the proliferation of cancer cells.” Bailey noted that about 90 per cent of the rats used as control died within 10 days of the experiment as their cancer kept spreading, while those fed with the anti-cancer yam extract lived. Their cancer sizes were greatly reduced or stopped growing during the study period. He also used the same extracts on normal cell lines and found that it did not affect the normal cells but destroyed the cancer cells. He added: “The extract effect on the cell was concentration dependent. We were able to find a specific dose that was very effective against the cancer cells.”

    Bailey also foresees tremendous potential in purple yam production. His ultimate desire is to see purple yams becoming staple crops which would aid in the reduction of cancers, diabetes and arthritis. “We would like purple yams to be exported so that Jamaica could earn more foreign exchange. The export potential and the pharmaceutical impact are great” Bailey said.

    Bailey commenced his research on purple yams in 2002, leading to the award of the doctoral degree in 2013, following transfer of his MPhil registration to PhD registration in 2007. He was supervised by Professor Helen Asemota, the current Director of the Biotechnology Centre, The Yam anti-cancer extract is currently being considered for the award of a US patent.

    UWI Mona’s extensive Yam Research pedigree

    Research on yams began at the Biotechnology Centre in 1991 in an attempt to find solutions to the local yam production problems. The current Director of the Centre, Prof. Helen Asemota, started the Yam Group in 1993. She heads the current group of 15 yam researchers and has, to date, supervised 28 Ph. D and two M. Phil theses on yam research. Based on studies of 25 Jamaican yam varieties, the group has looked at yam as a food, medicine and as industrial raw materials. The research has also fostered capacity building in Research and Development in the country. “We have trained many yam experts and they are dispersed in various sectors of society for research and development’. Dr. Andrew Wheatley is one of these experts who in 1995 devised a micro propagation system suitable for the sustainable production of yams, in his PhD studies. The findings were patented locally.

    Dr. Dwayne Stennet also completed his doctorate on the role of yams in lowering cholesterol in the blood, from which a USA provisional patent was received. Dr. Cliff Riley characterized all of the starches from the 25 varieties yams for his Ph. D. study. From the results of Riley’s work, Dr. Alexia Harvey worked on the chemical modification of some of the starches to produce a starch of superior excipient quality to cornstarch. This recent study – The Chemical Modification of Yam Starches and their Potential Use in Pharmaceutical Formulations – won for Harvey the 2013 Most Outstanding Ph. D. Thesis Award in March, 2014.

    These research efforts of the UWI Yam Biotechnology Group have proceeded in collaboration with other departments. The Centre works in conjunction with the Scientific Research Council and the Ministry of Agriculture’s Research Station at Bodles on yam research. “ … In addition to anti-cancer uses, yam has anti-diabetic, anti-cholesterol and anti-inflammatory properties,” Prof. Asemota said. “From the amount of research done on yams in this country, there should no problem with yam production. We just need to use our findings through supporting policies,” she added.

    Other key Yam researchers trained within the UWI Yam Group are Dr. Curtis Green, whose PhD research resulted in UWI’s first USA patent; Dr. Kathleen Lobban, Lecturer at UTECH, Dr. Samson Omoregie, Chair of Biology & Chemistry Department at NCU, to mention a few.

  37. DEADLY SMART METER RADIATION & PLANNED GLOBAL GENOCIDE

    If the person(s) responsible for ordering Smart Meters for Barbados did so merely on the information that they were safe and worked well, then those persons did not do their research. They did not read that these meters will fail in a very few years and have to be replaced. Our present meters are tough mechanical meters which last; and those that fail should simply be replaced because it is the cheaper and SAFER ALTERNATIVE to installing electric, battery-operated devices for the tropics, which, at best have a very limited lifespan in the heat, and which emit frequencies designed to kill and mind control the population .

    Smart Meters emit radiation in ranges of 800-1100 M HZ and 2.4 G HZ and these are reported to be the most dangerous ranges of radiation to human, animal and plant biology:

    (1) The transmissions are spread over a period of time and not only transmit household usage information (10%) but company required information (90%). This means they are in constant use, unlike what is reported to be the case.

    (2) When Smart Water Meters were installed in a Canadian community, within a very short period, the birds, bees and small animals vanished. They can hear and feel these frequencies are dangerous and they leave the area, a bad omen for agriculture. People complained that the plants in their gardens which faced cell towers and smart meters simply shriveled and died.

    (3) Water, electricity and gas can be shut down selectively or en mass locally or by satellite. This is New World Order Military Deployment Control over the people and the local government.

    (4) Installation of Electric Smart Meters has caused many house fires for which the company avoids responsibility.

    (5) Smart Appliances will follow shortly which you will be required to purchase. They record all usage and sound in the house and emit additional radiation. Also, time of use calculations will send up prices at peak hours.

    (6) In the U.K, Canada, Australia and the U.S.A, associations were formed to have these things removed from people’s homes because they were causing serious symptoms and health problems, including CANCER.

    (7) Studies done at Cell Phone Tower locations over time showed definite cancer cases clustered around cell towers at an even diameter. Stopsmartmeters!(UK).

    (8) Dr. Bill Deagle in a You-tube video with Deborah Tavares reported that “If Cell Phone radiation is like a candle, Smart Meters are like a raging forest fire. Also see You-tube.com/Smart meters murder; also on You-tube.com/ Barry Trower and Deborah Tavares. Dr. Trower is a retired scientist who helped develop microwave technology, knows how deadly it is and is speaking against its use, especially against its military deployment as population control.

    (9) Water and Gas Smart Meters emit WiFi Radiation (which is wireless and breaks your DNA bonds resulting in permanent genetic damage. In schools, they do the same thing to the children using Smart Tablets which are not plugged into an outlet. These children may not be able to reproduce and/or may have babies which are deformed like Thalidomide babies. In the present, the children will become ill.

    (10) In a You-tube.com video by Animal Planet, it was reported that the U.S.A. Navy was experimenting with a new Ultra Sonic weapon which could penetrate the hulls of enemy submarines and reduce the brains and organs of the occupants to m u s h. It was reported that whales and porpoises were beaching themselves in the vicinity of these experiments. When autopsied, their organs and brains were reduced to m u s h! They refused to stop their experiments. Smart Water Meters use Ultra Sonics.

    (11) Smart Water Meters cause water molecules to vibrate in such a way as to cause the water not to uptake nutrients for distribution to cells. When this happens, the Mitochondria of the cells send the cells a death message causing them to shut down and die. We will see this in our bodies as the rapid appearance of ageing resulting from rapid malnutrition. (Dr. Bill Deagle in interview with Deborah Tavares on You-tube.com)

    (12) The Ultrasonic Vibrations of the Smart Water Meters will cause metals from lead pipes and molecules from PVC pipes to disengage from the pipes. This will cause lead poisoning after the calcium carbonate lining has been worked loose and in PVC pipes, the molecular components will cause Cancer.

    Black Operations scientific inventions and knowledge is said to be light years ahead of anything the public is allowed to hear about. This is especially so of these inventions which emit deadly radiation and are globally deployed in the cause of Genocide.

    When I heard of these Meters I did some internet research and discovered that Global Deployment (a military term) of Smart Meters was planned as population control. The Iron Mountain Report 1953 in the U.S.A., under which Silent Weapons for Quiet Wars was created by think tanks similar to Rand Corporation and Brookings Institute, as part of a Global plan to eliminate 90% of world population, is called Full Spectrum Dominance. It calls for the destruction of the planets oceans, water, soil, forests, agriculture, genetic destruction of food crops and animals and humans, and the full Acidification of the surface of the planet. This is accomplished by spraying Chemtrails containing heavy metals, spent uranium, and a nano-engineered fiber which gets into the body, grows and renders the victims susceptible to control by frequencies emitted by HAARP, Cell Towers, Wifi, and Mind-control electrical transmissions.

    Chemtrails are sprayed by specially equipped military aircraft out of U.S. Air force bases. Also passenger aircraft crossing the Oceans are equipped and spraying the oceans in order to kill the oxygen producing plankton. Luggage-carrying capacity is reduced to make room for the tanks of chemicals. The forests are already shriveling where sprayed in Canada, the U.S.A. and Hawaii. Removing from the people access to oxygen produced by forests and plankton, access to pure water, and soils which can still grow food and reproducing seeds unlike Monsanto DNA deforming death seeds, will ensure the death of all life on this planet. When major sectors of oxygen production are destroyed, what you have left is carbon dioxide, dead fish and plankton in the sea, dead forests and animals and people. The World Government plans to use this increasing carbon dioxide as an excuse to raise taxes on those remaining alive.

    This is why the rich men of the earth have made the Seed Vault at Svalbard, Norway, so that the earth may be reseeded after they have killed off the population and returned from their l32+ underground cities. They believe that they will have escaped the planned germ warfare (witness Ebola) and nuclear devastation of the large population centers using neutron bombs which destroy life but save buildings while radiation dissipates in a few days.. (You-tube.com/George Green).

    They plan to destroy countries like Barbados by getting them into unpayable debt and economic downturn resulting in starvation and death of the poor and old. Babies are weakened or killed by vaccines. Visit the website (Stopthecrime.net/source) where you may read everything under the Iron Mountain Report. Eventually all people will be chipped to eliminate money. The Chips will contain nano-mind control computers and poison dispensers for those masses to be eliminated. All these devices not only already exist, but await deployment as I write. A large part of the plan can be seen in Agenda 21 being implemented by the United Nations which supersedes the constitutions of member countries. President Kennedy spoke against these plans and was murdered two weeks later. Did you know that Inheritance will be banned? This is Global Theft and Murder.
