Hepatitis C kills more in US than HIV

February 26, 2012 07:49

Studies show that deaths from hepatitis C (HCV) infection among US adults outnumber AIDS fatalities. And while greedy pharmaceutical giants advertise new drugs that cost a fortune, Oxford dons claim success in developing anti-HCV vaccine.

If you don’t know the root cause of the problem, and you have no workable solution to share, then your wasting the readers time and doing more harm then good.

“US Pentagon, Dept. of Defense, Dept. of Homeland Security
is raping US taxpayers... and health care across America.” LIGHT
Above is typical mainstream media brainwash, all about the horror of the problem and not one word about the root cause nor correct solution to the problem. For the root cause of all of America’s problems is greed caused by too much excessive wealth, the root cause of why there is too much excessive fat in the average American diet, it being 50% of calories fat. Perfect solution being to put nothing in your grocery cart that is more then 15% fat, as this would eliminate all junk foods, most processed foods and give you a diet that is: WHOLE FOODS DIET 80% complex carbohydrates, 10% protean and 10% fat

The rich want Americans sick --- Why? (1) The butcher medical industry consumes 17% of all the goods and services produced in America, employs one out of six workers in America. it being the largest money maker in all of America. For the average American diet being 50% of calories fat, this is the root cause of 90% of sickness, a thing well known by doctors bur virtually unknown by any of their patients. (2) The processed food industry is the second largest money maker for the rich. From refined white flour void of vitamins, minerals and all the essential nutrition in complex carbohydrates, to the high fat meat industry, to the fast food restaurants, all designed to milk out of you the last dollar, to fatten you up for the slaughter, so that a killing can be made off of your body on the operating doing the slaughter. (3) Empire USA is able to keep the American public in submission so it can by brutal imperialism plunder the world --- for only one reason. By keeping us anxiety driven, apprehensive, insecure and in fearful submission to authority. Which is exactly what sickness is all about, a patient being in fearful submission to unending pain. Therefore, put nothing in your grocery cart that is more then 15% fat. Buy only whole foods, like me who buys only: natural brown rice, lentils, beans, whole grains, fruits, vegetables.

US Pentagon, Dept. of Defense, Dept. of Homeland Security is raping US taxpayers of all domestic funding resulting in a crumbling infra-structure, educations, schools and health care across America.

Alre ady, after 10 years of Bush-Obama gutting domestic US State funding (not returning State generated revenues back to each individual US State) USA so-called vaunted health care has plummeted, USA so-called vaunted educations has plummeted. USA so-called vaunted infra-structure is now crumbling and in many areas so poorly maintained it must now be entirely replaced. Overseas business owners look at USA deteriorating conditions and choose not to locate their factories and workers in the United States.

Ameri ca had the opportunity to force Big Pharma to sell it's drugs to USA at the same cost as they do to Canada (lowest or equal to lowest globally). Bush jr. appears to have cut a backdoor deal which swapped Big Pharma the OK to continue to rape Americans for 100's of Billions in exchange for a single 100 Million dollar payment to the US Gov. Such wasn't representative of the American people, it was a totally corrupt back-door deal with Big Pharma. The vast majority of American people wanted the US Gov. to force Big Pharma to charge Canadian prices to USA citizens also, saving US citizens many BILLIONS in health-care costs and ultimately the US Federal Gov. would have shaved off many BILLIONS in Veteran and Medicare Rx costs alone.

Well, they've finally done it. Big Pharma has bought off RT which is now publishing their rubbish. What is called "hepatitis C" has never definitively been proven to be caused by a virus, and the "virus" has never been definitively identified. If it had been, this article would have identified the institution and name(s) of those that had discovered it. Even the author of this propagandist article is unidentified.

To keep the public informed, perhaps the author of this article and the editor and manager of this news service would get this vaccine and all the vaccines Big Pharma would like to stick everyone with, and then report on the state of their health (or more likely ill health).

CORRECTION Average American diet --- 50% fat Eliminate starvation as a cause of illness, and Empire USA has the worst health of any nation on earth. Root cause being the most refined food diet on earth, for a diet that is 50% of calories fat debilitates every internal organ in the body and totally destroys the ability of the immune system to do its job. Surely 99% of illness among humans is caused by a bad diet, yet in American hardly a single doctor will mention to a patient that their diet is causing them harm. Quite the reverse, they encourage patients to indulge in diets most pleasurable as a form of mental therapy, maximizing profit being their highest priority. People assuming that those the most intelligent and wealthy having the highest morality, they not realizing that the more wealth one has the greater is their greed and stupidity. Did you know that 99% of American doctors retire millionaires?

This is a typical western-style infomercial.  It provides some information, but like any infomercial, the information is not really of relevance to the population at large.  Like any other commercial, it creates the impression of relevance --- relevance to me --- and thus, the importance of the solution.    Like many diseases of our time, many of them are environmental.  We are exposed to a number of toxins in air, drinking water, soil, rivers and oceans.  We eat the food that incorporates toxins from the environment, and is additionally compromised by the chemical additives, be that preservatives, taste enhancers, "look and feel" enhancers,  stereoids, antibiotics, etc. etc.   The most damage today is done to babies and small children, as we, the adults, have changed our dietary habits, incorporating all the compromised foods into our daily intake.  It has become a matter of a routine in the West to proclaim miracles in medical advances, just to find out how horrible these "solutions" actually are.  All such situations are routinely handled by allowing some amount of lawsuits, all in a very limited fashion, then rebranding the product, and remarketing. La tely, the products are not even removed from the shelves.  The craving for INNOVATION has become obsession with the West.  The obsession leads to fraudulent data --- both exaggerating the dangers of the problem, and claiming the benefits of the solution.  In US, patients today REFUSE medications that are being shoved on them by doctors.  Such "innovation" hype is creating a backlash against medications --- a phenomena that can be dangerous to people if carried out to the extreme.     Perhaps I expect more from RT then I should.  I expect a more balanced, discerning approach to many subjects.  I expect any optimism to be balanced by the realities, and any pessimism to be balanced by a belief in human ingenuity.  I expect that ANY corporate and institutional information to subject to more scepticism, without disrespect.

This sounds like another excuse to load the human body up with chemicals and heavy metals which will ultimatley assist in the breakdown of the immune system.  I'm not surprised its not a 100 percent chance to cure.  All American medicine from these companies is worthless and so is the FDA's opinion of what we should do and not do.

Isn't this just advertisement? 

The funny and laughable thing about vaccines is, that they do not need to prevent an illness, or lower its effects, 
th ey just need to create antibodies, 
and there ist no proof (this is surely not coincidence) 
that high levels of antibodies prevent an illness or lower its effects. 

You can clearly read inbetween the lines, that there are three groups of 
patients involved that get cronical illness on the liver. 

1) drug addicts
2) Alcoholics
3) Patients that "needed" an operation. 

The truth about health is strongly attached to the mind, and the liver has a psycosomatic context, where it responds to feelings of "loosing your exsistence" of "starving" 

The problem of drug addicts and Alcoholics ist that they feel starved as soon a people try to force them into sobering up. This is why their liver acts up. 
And patients who need an operation, well if they are confronted with health problems a lot of people fear to loose their exsistence, just talk to those people, and you will find they are obsessed of those self-demaging thoughts.

You cannot vaccinate problems away, this is why vaccines have no positive impact on illness. The organ will turn ill anyway, it will turn ill evan if you manage to get free of bacteria and viruses, and if those elements are not present, experience shows, that the time to cure lengthens.
