A Natural News post  by: J. D. Heyes

I imagine most readers interested in the health topics and posts on this blog are already sufficiently aware of the need to read labels and to assess the significance of what they read.

However, it is important to have this awareness, so therefore worth publishing this for the record.

Obviously, misleading advertising and product labelling is common, so nothing should be taken for granted. Juices which are mostly water and sugar are common.

I am still wondering about reconstituted products – removing the natural water from a product and later adding (whatever sort of) water to rehydrate it, surely leaves  doubt as to product strength and the legitimacy of the word ‘natural’.

I suggest some thought should be given to country of origin, in regard to that country’s health standards. A lot of relevant information can be found on the source website. Hopefully I can include some of it on this blog in the future.

NaturalNews) These days, what with so-called pomegranate drink products containing less than 1 percent actual pomegranate juice and so on, it has become more than necessary to scrutinize the packaging and labeling of so-called “natural” foods and beverages because often they contain misleading information about the actual product.

AGW – Global Warming – Fact or Fiction?


E.M.Smith showing his usual analytical brilliance, shows that Global Warming isn’t what is claimed.

Well, we know that already, from much evidence, but more evidence is still welcome.

Musings from the Chiefio

There’s a wonderful point where a lot of ‘scut work’ is done and you can start to just cook through things. Code built and pretty much tested (still needs a rigorous ‘last fine comb’ just to be sure) but simple changes make more variations very quickly. That’s where I am now.

So I’ve just pumped out two new graphs. One for the Northern Hemisphere and one for the Southern Hemisphere. S.H. is very flat. Not much you can do with a load of ocean and coastline. N.H. is where the action comes from. I had to rescale the S.H. graph to match the north in scale, but that makes it a bit hard to see much change. Then again, that’s sort of the point.

Click on the S.H. graph and then expand it to full size. Notice that many times in history the temperature are at about the same point…

Middle East – Much truth here from Christof.


Learn about the NATO “machine” and the Iran position, amongst several other important matters.

N.A.T.O. is branding the disastrous destabilization of Libya as ” a teachable moment” a “model for future interventions” and example of how well N.A.T.O. is meeting the challenge to live up to it´s “responsibility to protect”.

Iran Nuclear Talks; Explosive Issues Amidst Burning Middle East.

By Christof Lehmann – The recent Nuclear talks of the five permanent members of the UNSC plus Germany(P5+1) with Iran in Baghdad and plans to continue the talks in Moscow can not be isolated from the NATO-led war which was initiated in 2011 under the euphemism “The Arab Spring” and the undeclared, unconventional war on Syria; the regional geo-political background of an Iran that is asserting it´s position as regional power against the expansion of NATO`s and Israel´s regional hegemony; the complex global geo-political background with a NATO that has declared interventionism, Libya-style, part of it´s new doctrine at the 25th NATO Summit in Chicago; a Russia that is reasserting it´s position as power with global reach and strong regional interests; and the return to a multi-polar world by virtue of the BRICS alliance and the Shanghai Cooperation Organization; the global…

Whatever Happened to that Warning About Summer Arctic Sea Ice Disappearing by 2012?


A Sott.net post by Robert Felix, ‘Ice Age Now’

 “Arctic Sea Ice Gone in Summer Within Five Years?” shouted the National Geographic headline just five years ago.
“An already relentless melting of the Arctic greatly accelerated this summer – a sign that some scientists worry could mean global warming has passed an ominous tipping point,” wrote Seth Borenstein on December 12, 2007.
“One scientist even speculated that summer sea ice could be gone in five years,” warned Borenstein.”At this rate,” said NASA climate scientist Jay Zwally, “the Arctic Ocean could be nearly ice-free at the end of summer by 2012, much faster than previous predictions.”
“The Arctic is often cited as the canary in the coal mine for climate warming,” said Zwally. “Now as a sign of climate warming, the canary has died. It is time to start getting out of the coal mines.”
It will be interesting so see how Mr Borenstein spins the latest news out of the Arctic, that “the heaviest polar ice in more than a decade could postpone the start of offshore oil drilling in the Arctic Ocean until the beginning of August.”
“The heaviest polar ice in more than a decade.” So much for Mr Zwally’s ice-free Arctic summer. I hope his canary didn’t freeze to death.

“2008 – God’s Final Witness” Not true, but maybe a message there somewhere!


So far I have written, published other’s information or re-blogged items of injustice, inhumanity, untruths, health issues, humane issues, insanity and occasionally humour.

Why I am compelled to publish this post is something I cannot explain. I certainly do not believe the outcome true or even likely.  Yet to claim it is impossible to be true would be silly because this current world behaviour is so weird and irresponsible  that one needs to discount nothing as too outrageous to be possible.

So it’s probably just a bit of fun, a bit of stirring the senses, to include this on my blog. Surely harmless, unless someone holds it against me, which would be unfair as I said I didn’t believe it likely. Perhaps a bit of remote “hedging of bets” in case it turns out to be true and I could say “aha” I told you so!

This is also improbable because the type of end forecast in the post is hardly likely to result in my blog still existing or being read. So let’s put it down as a bit of fun. A bit of light relief!  Maybe there is a message there, something to be learned.

As a precise prophecy it has already been proven to be incorrect time-wise. A person claiming a specific end-time puts himself into a suspect category right from the start. However, some-one who has gone to all this trouble to publish a book deserves some recognition for his efforts. There are so many whose efforts, not literary, which have caused, and are still causing, catastrophic global grief and yet they are respected, for reasons far beyond my comprehension.  They have told deliberate lies and have been morally wrong and evil.

Ronald Weinland has done no harm, relatively speaking.  So, Ronald, the ball is back in your court!

The year 2008 marked the last of God’s warnings to mankind and the beginning in a countdown of the final three and one-half years of man’s self-rule that will end by May 27, 2012.

On December 14, 2008, the First Trumpet of the Seventh Seal of the Book of Revelation sounded, which announced the beginning collapse of the economy of the United States and great destruction that will follow. The next three trumpets will result in the total collapse of the United States, and once the Fifth Trumpet sounds the world will be thrust into WW III.

The Seven Trumpets of the Seventh Seal, as well as the Seven Thunders of the Book of Revelation (which the apostle John saw but was restricted from recording) are revealed in this book.

Many of the prophecies of the Seven Thunders are being fulfilled and will continue to increase in strength and frequency throughout this final three and one-half years of man’s self-rule on earth.

The prophecies revealed in this book explain the demise of the United States, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Great Britain, and much of western Europe, which will be followed by man’s final world war. This last war will be the result of clashing religions and the governments they sway. Billions will die! The destruction of this time will far exceed the very worst times of all human history.

As these events unfold, the world will increasingly become aware of the authenticity of the words in this book and realize that Ronald Weinland has been sent by God as His end-time prophet.

This book is primarily directed to the people of the three major religions of the world (Islam, Judaism and Christianity), whose roots are in the God of Abraham. Ronald Weinland has been sent to all three.

Blackwater, American military agents, in Syria


These are American agents, military and militant! It would not be unreasonable to associate them with Hilllary Clinton.
At last the truth is filtering through to the public.
Just this morning the Aus ABC radio news mentioned that rebels were the cause of the recent massacre, not the government support military.
Maybe we are getting somewhere with our promoting the truth!

Cholesterol Management


Here we present a comprehensive article, quite technical but it might be of interest to a few.  Reference ‘Life Extension’,  lef.org .

Nutritional Approaches to Managing Blood Lipids and Lipoproteins

Nutritional approaches to blood lipid and lipoprotein management mirror many of the strategies of conventional therapies. Dietary modifications aim to reduce the intake and uptake of fats and cholesterol from the diet. The inclusion of specific dietary compounds with cholesterol-lowering (hypocholesterolemic) or cardioprotective properties may also reduce cardiovascular disease risk by several different mechanisms.

Diet is an important determinant of cardiovascular disease risk; both conventional and alternative approaches advocate dietary and lifestyle changes as the first step in meeting lipid management goals. The National Cholesterol Education Program (NCEP) developed the Therapeutic Lifestyle Changes (TLC) diet42 for medical professionals to help patients pursue nutritional options for lowering cholesterol. The TLC diet recommends no more than 25 to 35 percent of daily calories from total fat, with up to 20 percent as monounsaturated, 10 percent as polyunsaturated, and less than 7 percent as saturated fats. This relatively high allotment of fat calories allows for increased unsaturated fat intake like omega-3 fatty acids in place of carbohydrates for patients with metabolic syndrome.

The Truth about Syria – NATO are the terrorists


A sott.net post by Joe Quinn and Niall Bradley:

NATO’s ‘Civil War’ Machine Rolls Into Syria

Death Squad: Free Syrian Army recruits proudly display the black flag of al-Qaeda, the database of Western mercenaries/terrorists

It was only a matter of time before NATO’s hired killers were tasked with carrying out a massacre in Syria that NATO stooges at the UN could then attempt to blame on the Syrian government. This time however, the con job isn’t going quite according to plan.

On Monday 28th May 2012 (‘Memorial Day’ in the US, for those who enjoy irony) the world’s public received a full frontal propaganda attack by the Western and other duplicitous media outlets parroting NATO and UN Security Council condemnations of a “massacre by Syrian troops” in the Syrian village of Houla on Friday 25th May.

Although the Houla victims were Assad supporters, the media has been primed to unleash a torrent of abuse against the Syrian government in the hope that it will carry enough weight to justify precision-strike democratization in the very near future.

Bypassing the bypass – Pomegranate may have useful properties


Bypassing the bypass   by  Dr Syed Zair Hussain Rizvi

EVERY SEED OF POMEGRANATE WHICH GOES IN YOUR STOMACH IS A SEED OF LIFE FOR YOUR HEART

Two things are full of benefits for the human being, lukewarm water and pomegranate. Pomegranate is a seasonal fruit in Pakistan so I tried an experiment with dried pomegranate seeds

An opened up pomegranate.

(DRY ANARDANA), prepared a decoction boiling the fistful of dried seeds in half litre of water for 10 minutes, squeezed the seeds, strained the decoction and advised those patients suffering from painful angina to use a glass of lukewarm decoction on an empty stomach in the morning, amazing result was observed, the decoction of dried pomegranate seeds worked like a magic, the feelings of tightness and heaviness of chest and the pain had gone,

It encouraged me to try more experiments on all types of cardiac patients so I tried other experiments on patients who were suffering from painful angina, coronary arterial blockage, cardiac ischemia (insufficient blood flow to the heart muscle) etc, waiting for a bypass surgery, the same lukewarm decoction was used empty stomach in the morning, the patients experienced quick relief in all symptoms including painful condition

In another case of coronary arterial blockage the patient started using half glass of fresh pomegranate juice everyday for one year, although all symptoms were completely relieved within a week but he continued taking it for a whole year, it completely reversed the plaque build-up and unblocked his arteries to normal, the angiography report confirmed the evidence, thus decoction of dried pomegranate seeds, fresh pomegranate juice or eating a whole pomegranate on empty stomach in the morning proved to be a miracle cure for cardiac patients,

But the lukewarm dried seeds decoction proved to be more effective compared to eating a whole pomegranate or fresh pomegranate juice, use of pomegranate in any way has demonstrated even more dramatic effects as blood thinner, pain killing properties for cardiac patients, lowers LDL (low-density lipoprotein or bad cholesterol) and raises the HDL (high-density lipoprotein or good cholesterol) , there are more than 50 different types of heart diseases the most common being coronary artery disease (CAD), which is the number one killer of both women and men in some countries, and there has been no medicinal cure for this disease, many cardiac patients have reversed their heart diseases on my advice using one glass of lukewarm decoction of pomegranate dried seeds, half glass of fresh pomegranate juice or eating a whole pomegranate on empty stomach in the morning, it was the very first real breakthrough in the history of cardiology to successfully treat the cardiac diseases by a fruit, The more super foods to obtain the even faster results for cardiac patients which are most promising curative and protective agents like fresh raisins, quince, guava, prunes (dried plums), natural vinegar, mixture of grape fruit juice and honey in the morning (empty stomach), basil leaves, chicory leaves, powder of oregano leaves and rock salt in equal quantity (in case the patient is not hypertensive) and sesame oil as cooking oil for cardiac patients.

It is regretted to say that treating the heart patients and bypass surgery has become far more profitable business around the world which has failed to help avert life threatening heart attacks and life time cardiac complications resulting in almost paralyzed life. A regular use of pomegranate in any way ensures a healthy cardiac life, thinning your blood, dissolving the blood clots and obstruction inside the coronary arteries, maintains an optimal blood flow, supports a healthy blood pressure, prevents and reverses atherosclerosis. (Thickening of the internal lining of the blood vessels) from whatever I experienced and observed in last several years, I can say:

“A pomegranate a day keeps the cardiologist away” you can try and see the wonder.

This article was emailed to me from a friend and is obviously well worth publishing.

With  a bit of luck, personal use will reveal whether or not this is reality. Whichever, further information can be expected.
