… parents don’t know what they’re getting into
Are children in the United States being over-medicated? According to some recent statistics, it surely looks that way. Over a million children six years of age or under are prescribed a psychiatric medication. Overall, more than eight million kids in America are on some sort of psychotropic drug — and the medical establishment is hardly batting an eye. Continue reading
25 Questions From A Former Pro-Vaccine Advocate

I used to be pro vaccine. I know the feeling of thinking others were just plain crazy and wrong for not vaccinating their children and themselves. ‘Irresponsible!’ I said when pointing my finger. I’d use the same old arguments about polio and small pox and how vaccines saved us from all those horrible diseases and just swallowing and regurgitating the propaganda I was brought up with. It was only recently, in 2009 that I started questioning my long held beliefs and began digging in to the history, efficacy and safety of vaccines. I was appalled at what I found and the recklessness of those government health agencies entrusted with our health and our children’s safety, and angry with myself that I had put my family’s health at risk by blind faith in others when I was ultimately responsible for the medical decisions of my family.

A breakthrough nutritional study conducted at the Larner College of Medicine at the University of Vermont and published in PLoS ONE has found that just 248mg of magnesium per day leads to an astounding reversal of depression symptoms in study subjects.
“New clinical research results show magnesium is effective at addressing symptoms and is safer and easier on the wallet than prescription therapies,” reports Science Daily, echoing the reporting of Natural News from over a decade ago. Today, even mainstream science is now confirming that magnesium is a safe, affordable and effective treatment for depression. Continue reading
As winter turns to spring, we will inevitably spend a lot more time outdoors– which is a very good thing! But with more inviting weather and increased activity also comes an increased need to stay hydrated. As it turns out, drinking enough water will not only quenche your thirst. It may also help you prevent Breast Cancer.

A judge’s ruling on warning labels for coffee isn’t backed by evidence and could do more harm than good.
About two-thirds of smokers will die early from cigarette-based illnesses. Cigarettes are also very addictive. Because of this, it seems reasonable to place warnings on their labels.
If a Los Angeles Superior Court judge has his way, California businesses will have to put similar warnings on something else that can be addictive, coffee. His ruling, which is being challenged by coffee producers, is harder to justify in terms of health — if it can be justified at all. Continue reading
Dr. Oliver Sartor has a provocative question for patients who are running out of time.
Most are dying of prostate cancer. They have tried every standard treatment, to no avail. New immunotherapy drugs, which can work miracles against a few types of cancer, are not known to work for this kind.
Still, Dr. Sartor, assistant dean for oncology at Tulane Medical School, asks a diplomatic version of this: Do you want to try an immunotherapy drug before you die?

UPDATED: We live in a new age – the MTV age if you will… where the visual is sometimes held in greater esteem than the time consumptive written word.
Watch today’s episode – and THINK for yourself and your family for once! ~ Ed.
The following post is short, but to the point, however having worked with Dr. William D. Kelley, D.D.S.; M.S. for seven years until his death, and subsequently continue to work with his family and Foundation for an additional thirteen years – including the editing, restoration and publication of both of his noted works – there is nothing new under the sun here… except to realize that what is published below could have been lifted from Dr. Kelley’s work and teachings, as so many practicing in this field today have done. They have taken their lessons from the Master – from their Teacher. ~ Ed.

Poop…the Whole Poop…and Nothing BUT The Poop
~ Forewords ~
Most folks like sausage but if they ever watched it being made they would never eat it. Same thing with POOP – (not that we eat it but it EATS US in one way or another)
Poop, poop a doop!
In years gone by, I posted links to some web sites for those who were interested in going to the ROOT of the health problems most suffer from. Have you thought about what your autopsy report would read like if you just kept eating as you do now (those who haven’t CHANGED their diets). Dear reader – your colon contains 60 lbs of dried and infected feces and is the cause of death due to being FULL OF IT.… didn’t follow advice to CLEAN THE COLON AND TO EAT THE RIGHT FOODS.
As WGEN readers already know, I have this strange Polish Scent of Hew-More (pun intended) so the very first segment of the post below is one that fits with my idea of how to get folks to acknowledge that we all POOP. Continue reading
What is With All These Vaccine Skeptics?
Most people have a difficult time understanding why any parent would choose not to vaccinate their children. After all, we have been assured by our doctors that clinical trials show that vaccines are safe and effective and that we need to vaccinate to protect everyone. So what’s the reason for these people to refuse vaccination for their children?
Unfortunately, the further we objectively researched the whole body of evidence surrounding vaccines, the more difficult we found it to come to the conclusion that vaccines are safe and effective. The truth is, there isn’t just one reason for vaccine skeptics to forgo vaccination. There are many. Continue reading
Did you know that close to half of all American adults have gum disease? That is roughly 64.7 million people! The consequences of periodontal disease are a lot more extensive than how it affects your smile. Chronic inflammatory gum disease can lead to, and is often sign of, lower immune function. It can also lead to a higher risk of breast cancer.

Prescriptions for opioid painkillers have been falling in recent years. At the same time, prescriptions for medications to treat opioid addiction are rising sharply. Credit Patrick Sison/Associated Press
The number of new monthly prescriptions for medications that treat opioid addiction nearly doubled over the past two years, according to new data, while prescriptions for opioid painkillers continued to decline.
The changing calculus reflects a stepping up of efforts among policymakers and the medical establishment to address the nation’s opioid epidemic, which is killing more than 115 people every day. But it also underscores questions about whether some pain patients are now being undertreated, and whether tightened prescribing over the last few years has contributed to the surge in overdose deaths from heroin and especially fentanyl.

Epidemiology is a basic science, not an applied science. It is not designed to prove anything.
“There is no link between vaccines and autism.” The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) clearly states it on its website. It is stated in nearly every newspaper or magazine article written, either by the author or by someone the author has quoted.
In a recent article in HealthDay, postdoctoral fellow Ousseny Zerbo of the Kaiser Permanente Vaccine Study Center was quoted as saying, “[W]e know through numerous scientific studies that there is no association between childhood vaccination and the incidence of autism spectrum disorders.” You can find some variation of this statement in countless other articles. “The scientific evidence is very clear: There’s no link between vaccines and autism.” Continue reading
Scientific evidence beyond any doubt… So where is the outcry?
May God bless the Tarsell family, who fought the U.S. government eight long years to validate a medical burden of proof that the Gardasil vaccine killed their daughter. The Tarsell’s 21-year-old daughter Christina Richelle “died from an arrhythmia induced by an autoimmune response” to Gardasil, an HPV vaccine that she received only days before her death.

In the current debate over whether or not to legislate the removal of individual vaccine exemptions, the quality of the vaccines themselves gets little attention. According to the CDC, mumps outbreaks are on the rise despite the fact that 94.6% of children in the U.S. have had two doses of MMR vaccine. To combat the situation, the CDC is considering adding a third dose of MMR to the recommended vaccine schedule.
In 2010, California experienced the largest pertussis epidemic since 1958. According to the CDC, the U.S. has experienced increased pertussis disease despite high levels of vaccine coverage. Researchers studying the pertussis outbreaks determined vaccine effectiveness dropped to less than 9% by four years, and that the quality of immunization waned so rapidly that little protection remained 2-3 years after vaccination.
