Global Hunger: Gone in Our Lifetime?

     From MercatorNet:    
     The head of the UN Food and Agriculture Agency, Jose Graziano da Silva, makes that assertion.  According to Graziano, the scourge of hunger in Africa could be gone by 2025.  Proposing three solutions in this article, Graziano remarks that the key to eradication of world hunger is small family-owned farms and the cultivation of the super-food quinoa.  As Graziano himself puts it, "You don't need to buy seed from Monsanto."

“…saying the Food and Agriculture Organization believes that hunger can be eradicated around the globe ‘in a generation, in our lifetime’ if there is a political commitment by world leaders to ensure that all their citizens get access to nutritious food.

‘We are not talking about sending a man to the moon or something that complicated,’ he said. ‘We have the technology. We have the expertise. We have the things that we need to do it.’”

NIGERIA: Catholic Doctors Want Bill Gates Out Over GMO Cassava

 From Kurunzi Afrika:
     Angry Catholic doctors in Nigeria have demanded that the government kick out the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation because of its genetically modified cassava project, which they say threatens food security in the country and Africa.

     The doctors have written to David Mark, President of the Senate of Nigeria, stating that the justification for the cassava project supported by the Gates Foundation is “a scientific hoax” meant to benefit the American agribusiness giant Monsanto in which Bill Gates is a major shareholder.

The Miracle of Father Kapaun: Priest, Soldier, and Korean War Hero

The Miracle of Father Kapaun
Priest, Soldier, and Korean War Hero
by Roy Wenzl and Travis Heying

Emil Kapaun—priest, soldier and Korean War hero—is a rare man. He is being awarded the Medal of Honor, the nation's highest military award, and is also being considered by the Vatican for canonization as a saint.

As remarkable as this double honor are the non-Catholic witnesses who attest to Father Kapaun's heroism: the Protestants, Jews and Muslims who either served with the military chaplain in the thick of battle or endured with him the unbelievably brutal conditions of a prisoner of war camp. As journalists Roy Wenzl and Travis Heying discovered, all of these Korean War veterans, no matter their religion, agree that Father Kapaun did more to save lives and maintain morale than any other man they know.

"Chris Beat Cancer" Interviews Dr. Patrick Vickers of Gerson Center

     Chris Wark was diagnosed with Stage 3 colon cancer at age 26 in 2003.  He had surgery but refused chemo and instead healed himself through nutrition and natural therapies.  His introduction to the video:
     Here’s a terrific new video I did with Dr. Patrick Vickers of Northern Baja Gerson Center. He and I met at the Hungry 4 Health Gala and Organic Festival in Branson, MO in April and after hearing him speak about Gerson I couldn’t wait to interview him.
     In our interview he tells the amazing story of medical genius Dr. Max Gerson and explains how the Gerson Cancer Therapy came into existence.
     Dr. Gerson was a pioneer of nutritional cancer therapy and even though many do not know his name, his impact on the world is monumental. Countless thousands have healed using the principles of the Gerson Cancer Therapy, including me!

Historical Data: Vaccines Didn't Save Us From Anything

      Do vaccines actually protect against the viruses and illnesses that they claim to? If you only get your news and information from mainstream news and educational sources, then the question about whether vaccines are effective is never even raised. However, if you look at the historical data on vaccination efficacy, you'll see that they are not responsible for the decline in disease in the last hundred years at all:

- In 1977, Dr. Jonas Salk, who developed the first polio vaccine, testified along with other scientists that mass inoculation against polio was the cause of most polio cases throughout the USA since 1961. (Science 4/4/77 "Abstracts")

- In Oman between 1988 and 1989, a polio outbreak occurred amongst thousands of
fully vaccinated children. The region with the highest infection rate had the highest vaccine coverage. The region with the lowest infection rate had the lowest vaccine coverage. (The Lancet, 21/9/91)

- In 1990, the Journal of the American Medical Association had an article on measles which stated, "Although more than 95% of school-aged children in the US are vaccinated against measles, large measles outbreaks continue to occur in schools and most cases in this setting occur among previously vaccinated children." (JAMA, 21/11/90)

 - In the New England Journal of Medicine July 1994 issue, a study found that over 80%  of children under 5 years of age who had contracted whooping cough had been fully vaccinated.

- In 1979, Sweden abandoned the whooping cough vaccine due to its ineffectiveness. Out of 5,140 cases in 1978, it was found that 84% had been vaccinated three times! (BMJ 283:696-697, 1981)

10 Year Old Amish Girl Flees US to Escape Forced Chemo, Recovers Naturally

     I've mentioned before the incident--being told that I would be arrested if I refused permission for UC Davis Medical Center, Sacramento, to continue chemotherapy for my then 14 year-old daughter, that she would be placed in foster care and given chemo anyway--  that led, among other things, to my starting this blog. I've since learned of many similar episodes, including this one now:

Amish Girl Being Forced Into Chemotherapy Taken Out of US By Family, Recovers with Natural Treatments
and
10 Year Old Amish Girl Flees US to Escape Chemo

For the record, my daughter is now 18 and healthy.  We used the Gerson Diet and various alternative natural supplements.


                                               

Letter Objecting to Common Core State Standards

     This letter was sent individually to each Catholic bishop in the United States.  132 Catholic professors signed the letter.  It is the most wonderfully written letter I have seen on this topic.  Here is an excerpt regarding the CCSS's new emphasis on "informational texts" including government documents and regulations and away from classical, narrative fiction:
     Professor Stotsky was the chief architect of the universally-praised Massachusetts English language arts standards, which contributed greatly to that state's educational success.  She describes Common Core as an incubator of "empty skill sets...[that] weaken the basis of literary and cultural knowledge needed for authentic college course work."  Rather than explore the creativity of man, the great lessons of life, love, tragedy, good and evil, the rich textures of history that underlie great works of fiction, and the tales of self-sacrifice and mercy in the works of the great writers that have shaped our cultural history over the centuries, Common Core reduces reading to a servile activity.
