ESSENTIAL OILS ONLINE #046

The annual influenza season is upon us. But what poses a
greater threat, influenza or anthrax? More importantly, what
is the best defense against them?

Also in this issue you will learn the Food and Drug Administration
(FDA) breaks its own health claim rules it imposes on industry
when it suites their purpose. The FDA approved a 60 day course
of Cipro, inspite of the fact that the drug has never been tested
against anthrax in people. Cipro has become the world's largest
uncontrolled drug experiment.

PHARMACEUTICAL dispensed drugs are toxic failures not fit
for human consumption. According to JAMA (Journal of the
American Medical Association), Prescribed drug-caused
deaths rank 4th on the mortality table list. 1994 statistics
show 106,000 people died from unintended drug side-effects.
This would be considered criminal by any other civilized
standard.

Dr. Julian Whitaker, M.D., Medical Editor for "Health and
Healing," estimates 18 million more people have survived toxic
side effects from these same drugs prescribed by their
doctors...Over 2 million of them were bad enough to be
hospitalized in 1994 alone. Chemical Drugs and the so-called
"health" system that promotes using them are part of the
problem, not the solution.

YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE for your own health, not the AMA,
FDA or your physician. If your physician prescribes a drug for
"treatment," ask him or her what known side-effects exist.
If he or she downplays any risk, ask yourself this question...
Is playing Russian roulette with drugs worth risking your life?
It can and does happen...106,000 deaths every year!!

Influenza Poses a Greater Threat Than Anthrax
By Jim Lynn

If there is any good coming from the current anthrax threat,
it is that millions of people are becoming aware of their
vulnerability to those little no see-ums called bacteria
and viruses.

While the thought of a man-caused epidemic (biological warfare)
is scary, natural occurring epidemics represent a far greater
threat and reality to our health. So that you have a perspective,
4 people have died from anthrax to date. During an average flu
season, up to 20,000 people die as a result of influenza-related
complications. During times of severe outbreak, influenza has been
known to kill up to 500,000 people in the U.S. alone, and up to 25
million world-wide (1918 Influenza season).

The threat of an anthrax outbreak is fairly limited to biological
warfare, a man-caused plague that will be diminished with time.
Influenza outbreaks, however, are timeless.

We are now headed into the annual influenza season when many
people will become infected with the flu virus. Millions will be
immobilized and bed-ridden as the flu runs its course through
their body. Due to media exposure of anthrax attacks, many people
this year will confuse their flu symptoms as a possible anthrax
infection. This will tax the medical community to its limits as
people rush to have their symptoms diagnosed. They will be
told they have an influenza infection and be sent home.

That death will visit many households from these infections is
unfortunate, because there is a simple antidote to prevent the
flu in the first place. It's called good health.

Immune System:

Good health begins with our immune system, that part of our body
designed to fight off bacterial and viral infections. Have you
ever wondered why some people you may know never get sick?
These people enjoy good health because their immune systems
keeps them that way.

A common fallacy is that the young and aged are especially
vulnerable to suffering from influenza. Age has nothing to do
with influenza, but our immune system does. That the young
and old are more susceptible to influenza simply means their
immune systems are more likely to be not up to full capacity
or impaired.

Impaired immune systems are dependent on several factors,
including the environment and food we eat. A lifetime of eating
white sugar, white flour, Commercially processed foods, diet
drinks and foods containing Aspartame, and hydrogenized oil
(trans-fats) all gradually impair the body's immune system.
Unfortunately, the American diet is high in these substances,
and accounts in part for the millions of people counted
suseptible to influenza by the Centers For Disease Control.

Homeland Security must begin with defending our individual
immune systems. Therein lies the key to fighting off anthrax,
Influenza, or any other potentially lethal pathogen. For the
immune system is nature's greatest gift to mankind. Operating
at full throttle, your immune system keeps you healthy,
(immune) allowing you to live a full life time. Without it,
life expectancy is greatly diminished.

Strengthen Your Immune System:

Strengthening your immune system requires that you be willing
to change your diet, to eat wholesome, unprocessed foods,
and supplement your diet with live enzymes and trace minerals.
It requires that you begin reading labels and become familiar
with those substances that are harmful to the human body.

Locate food sources where you can buy food products that
have not been processed, irradiated, sprayed with pesticides
and herbicides, nor injected with antibiotics and growth hormones.
Remember your goal is to strengthen the immune system,
not to save money by buying the cheapest food. Save money
elsewhere and not by robbing your body of its most important
health asset...your immunity!

Look in the bathroom and check your personal care products.
Look at the ingredients and note the warnings. For instance:
Does your toothpaste tube have a warning statement? Ask why!
Next be willing to throw out personal care products that contain
harsh chemicals. Buy and use products created specifically with
your health in mind. Sure it will cost you more, but good health
is the best health insurance money can buy.

Everyone dreads the thought of infectious disease outbreaks.
But when they hit we can have peace of mind knowing that
our strengthened immune system will repel any attack.

What's in That Flu Shot?

These are just some of the ingredients used to make a vaccine:

1. Ethylene glycol (antifreeze)
2. Phenol also known as carbolic acid
(this is used as a disinfectant , dye)
3. Formaldehyde a known cancer causing agent
4. Aluminum which is associated with Alzheimers disease
and seizures also cancer producing in laboratory mice
(it is used as an additive to promote antibody response)
5. Thimerosal (used as a mercury disinfectant/ preservative)
can result in brain injury and autoimmune disease
6. Neomycin
7. Streptomycin (used as antibiotic)
has caused allergic reaction in some people

These vaccines are also grown and strained thru animal or human
tissue like monkey kidney tissue , chicken embryo, embryonic
guinea pig cells, calf serum, human diploid cells ( the dissected
organs of aborted human fetuses as in the case of rubella,
hepatitis A, and chickenpox vaccines)

The problem with animal cells is that during serial passage of
the virus thru the animal cells, animal RNA and DNA can be
transferred from one host to another and undetected animal
viruses may slip past quality control testing procedures.

Ask your doctor to read you the insert that comes with the
vaccine. Then have him or her explain why it makes sense to
inject toxic chemicals into the human body and how such
substances can aid your delicate immune system.

3. Bonus Article:

In Cipro We Trust
By Jim Lynn

Prescribing Cipro is an 'Uncontrolled Experiment'

Not long after anthrax was found at NBC, Tom Brokaw held up a
pill bottle during a newscast, declaring "In Cipro we trust."
On Capitol Hill, politicians lined up for the small white pills
after the anthrax scare there. The word on everyone's lips: Cipro.
(1)

Few people had even heard of Cipro a month ago. Now, Bayer
Corp. is more than tripling its production of the drug, the only
form of the antibiotic ciprofloxacin approved by the Food and
Drug Administration to fight anthrax. But Cipro has NEVER
been tested against anthrax in people. It's approval was
based on its effectiveness against other bacteria and an
animal study from 1993. Further, the 60 day course was
accepted as proven even though no studies had demonstrated
that it was necessary for the kind of anthrax attack that
actually occurred. It appears the FDA is willing to break
its own health claim rules when it suites their purpose to
do so. (2)

Since the Brokaw televised statement, tens of thousands of
people have lined up to get their 60 day supply of Cipro.

But is Cipro Safe?

"We are conducting the world's largest uncontrolled experiment,
including all these people and TV personalities," according to
Stephen Porter, a Tennessee pharmacologist who runs
Virtual Drug Development Inc.

The full impact of large numbers of people being put on Cipro
by doctors, and even larger numbers taking the medicine
on their own, will not be known for weeks or months.

But already, patients with other illnesses who desperately
need Cipro have been deprived of the medicine, and patients
around the country taking the drug have begun reporting
such side effects as dizziness, headaches, nausea and
achy joints.

"We have never faced the mass use of an antibiotic for 60
days; there's no precedent for that in medicine," said William
Hall, president of the American College of Physicians and
the American Society of Internal Medicine.

The studies that originally established the safety of Cipro
involved regimens of seven to 10 days, according to Philip
Hanna, an anthrax expert at the University of Michigan at
Ann Arbor. "When you start giving it for two months, that's
a whole level of usage that hasn't been proven to be safe,"
he said.

Common side effects of Cipro include; nausea, abdominal
pain/discomfort, diarrhea, headache, rash, restlessness,
and vomiting.

Less common side effects may include:
Abnormal dread or fear, achiness, bleeding in the stomach and/or
intestines, blood clots in the lungs, blurred vision, change in
color perception, chills, confusion, constipation, convulsions,
coughing up blood, decreased vision, depression, difficulty in
swallowing, dizziness, double vision, drowsiness, eye pain,
fainting, fever, flushing, gas, gout flare up, hallucinations,
hearing loss, heart attack, hiccups, high blood pressure, hives,
inability to fall or stay asleep, inability to urinate,
indigestion, intestinal inflammation, involuntary eye movement,
irregular heartbeat, irritability, itching, joint or back pain,
joint stiffness, kidney failure, labored breathing, lack of muscle
coordination, lack or loss of appetite, large volumes
of urine, light-headedness, loss of sense of identity, loss of
sense of smell, mouth sores, neck pain, nightmares, nosebleed,
pounding heartbeat, ringing in the ears, seizures, sensitivity
to light, severe allergic reaction, skin peeling, redness,
sluggishness, speech difficulties, swelling of the face, neck,
lips, eyes, or hands, swelling of the throat, tender, red bumps
on skin, tingling sensation, tremors, unpleasant taste, unusual
darkening of the skin, vaginal inflammation, vague feeling of
illness, weakness, and yellowed eyes and skin. (3)

Serious and fatal reactions have occurred when Cipro was
taken in combination with theophylline (Theo-Dur). These
reactions have included cardiac arrest, seizures, status
epilepticus (continuous attacks of epilepsy with no periods of
consciousness), and respiratory failure.

Recently, the FDA formally approved the use of penicillin and
doxycycline against inhalation anthrax, claiming these drugs
have fewer side effects than Cipro. Our question is, on what
basis was this decision made?

Inspite of legally prescribed drugs causing over 100,000 deaths
per year, the FDA continues to prop up drugs as though they
are some kind of magic bullet. (4) They are not.

So the next time you hear the words "Cipro or doxycycline,"
think about the politics behind them and their possible
consequences.

4. Guest Feature:

Do Eggs Really Increase Your Cholesterol?
By Dr. Eric Berg

As a food, eggs are not just incredible and a near perfect food,
they contain ingredients to develop a living, healthy body. They
contain just about all the essential nutrients, including B-1,
B-6, folic acid and B-12. They also contain minerals such as
calcium, magnesium, potassium, zinc and iron. Choline and biotin,
which are important for energy and stress reduction, are in eggs
too. They are complete in all amino acids (protein building blocks)
- which are found in the egg yolk.

The fat in the yolk is in nearly perfect balance. These essential
fats are crucial in the regulation of cholesterol. This is
because the antidote to cholesterol is lecithin (helps dissolve
cholesterol). And the yolk is loaded with lecithin. Without these
fats in your diet, your risk for heart disease is increased. Eggs
have almost zero carbohydrates. They also have the highest rating
in complete proteins (containing all the amino acids) of any food.
Amino acids are necessary for repairing tissue, making hormones
and brain chemicals.

But everyone knows people are scared of eating egg yolks because
of cholesterol. The fact is most of the cholesterol in our blood
is there not because of what we ate; in fact our own liver makes
most of our cholesterol. Our liver produces 75% of the cholesterol
in our blood. If cholesterol were so bad why would our body make
so much?

1. We only absorb 2-4mg. of cholesterol per day per kilogram
of body weight. So even if we ate a dozen eggs each day,
we'd only absorb 300mg. That is the recommended maximum
per day.

2. The second safeguard we have against cholesterol is what I
said before; our body makes most of the cholesterol in our
body. The more cholesterol we eat the less the body will
make. The less we eat, the more the body makes. Actually,
every cell in your body makes cholesterol, even your heart
cells.

The purpose of cholesterol is to regulate the chemicals that enter
and exit the cells, to help make hormones, and to insulate and
allow our nerves and brain to transfer electricity. Don't
overcook the egg yolk, this will destroy the lecithin.

The Framingham study (the most accepted and long term scientific
study), for example, found no relation between egg consumption,
blood cholesterol and coronary heart disease. Modern social trends
in the marketing of "food" products such as margarine and fake eggs
are partly responsible for the misinformation. Cereal commercials
tell us over and over how healthy their products are despite being
filled with sugar. Ed Ahrens, Jr., professor at Rockefeller
University says, "I think the public is being hosed by the NIH
(National Institute of Health) and the American Heart Association."

And one more thing Ц I have been eating 4-5 organic eggs every
morning for the past 6 years and never felt better.

5. Feature Oil:

Oregano Remedy for Hospital Infections

The essential oils of Oregano Vulgare and Oregano Tyttanthum
are demonstrated more effective in sanitizing hospital surgical
dressing rooms than UV-irradiation, according to a 1998 Russian
study published by the Novosibirsk Institute of Organic Chemistry.

The conclusion of the report states the following:
Thus essential oils of O. vulgare and O. tyttanthum can be
considered as a base for development of a new highly effective
active drug to decrease the level of intrahospital infections.

EOO's question is why not simply aerosolize the oils as
was performed in the study? Could it be our world is money
crazed? Drugs are patentable, essential oils are not.

The one page report can be read if you have Acrobat Reader
at: http://www.nioch.nsc.ru/icnpas98/pdf/posters1/89.pdf
Be sure to compare the graph results of both UV-irradiation
and the oregano. Quite remarkable!
