The increase in percentage of women how died from neurological death in the last 30 years – 92% is frightening. One most take into account the number of toxins crossing the blood brain barrier – including medications, vaccines AND synthetic hormones in birth control and hormone replacement therapy. Throw in the cell phone use – and we become really muddled.

Nutrating the brain is now longer optional… it is imperative.  This is what Truehope is offering for bipolar disorder and other neurological issues.  The Truehope EMPowerplus product is now available through Q Sciences for anyone who wants to optimize their neuro-brain, endocrine and immune functioning.

Brain Diseases Affecting More People and Starting Earlier Than Ever Before

ScienceDaily

May 10, 2013 — Professor Colin Pritchard’s latest research published in journal Public Health has found that the sharp rise of dementia and other neurological deaths in people under 74 cannot be put down to the fact that we are living longer. The rise is because a higher proportion of old people are being affected by such conditions — and what is really alarming, it is starting earlier and affecting people under 55 years.

Of the 10 biggest Western countries the USA had the worst increase in all neurological deaths, men up 66% and women 92% between 1979-2010. The UK was 4th highest, men up 32% and women 48%. In terms of numbers of deaths, in the UK, it was 4,500 and now 6,500, in the USA it was 14,500 now more than 28,500 deaths.

Professor Pritchard of Bournemouth University says: “These statistics are about real people and families, and we need to recognise that there is an ‘epidemic’ that clearly is influenced by environmental and societal changes.”

Tessa Gutteridge, Director YoungDementia UK says that our society needs to learn that dementia is increasingly affecting people from an earlier age: “The lives of an increasing number of families struggling with working-age dementia are made so much more challenging by services which fail to keep pace with their needs and a society which believes dementia to be an illness of old age.”

Bournemouth University researchers, Professor Colin Pritchard and Dr Andrew Mayers, along with the University of Southampton’s Professor David Baldwin show that there are rises in total neurological deaths, including the dementias, which are starting earlier, impacting upon patients, their families and health and social care services, exemplified by an 85% increase in UK Motor Neurone Disease deaths.

The research highlights that there is an alarming ‘hidden epidemic’ of rises in neurological deaths between 1979-2010 of adults (under 74) in Western countries, especially the UK.

Total neurological deaths in both men and women rose significantly in 16 of the countries covered by the research, which is in sharp contrast to the major reductions in deaths from all other causes.

One State in India Stands Out for Early Menopause

Andhra Pradesh is the fifth most populous state in the country. The female literacy rate of 50 percent, according to the 2001 Census, is lower than the national average of 54 percent. Although its fertility rate (1.8) is lower than the national average of 2.4, the state is aiming to lower it even further to 1.5, according to health department reports.

With female sterilizations pushed as the primary mode of fertility control in Andhra Pradesh, post-operative complications have caused women to undergo needless hysterectomies and endure side effects they never expected.

NEW DELHI (WOMENSENEWS)–When Srujana Sundar went to the doctor complaining of abdominal pain and white vaginal discharge her doctor, instead of treating these routine gynecological complaints, ordered her to undergo a hysterectomy.

In her case that meant not only losing her uterus, which is standard in all such operations, but also her ovaries.

Sundar, a housewife in the village of Parsapally, in the Medak district of the southern Indian state of Andhra Pradesh,was 29 at the time.

She soon discovered that after losing her ovaries she was contending with the effects of early menopause.

“Removal of ovaries is the biological equivalent of castration and results in the immediate and sudden onset of menopause, in contrast to natural menopause which is a gradual process,” said Dr. S.V. Kameswari, a leading gynecologist in Andhra Pradesh, in a recent phone interview.

Women with premature menopause can suffer a steep loss of estrogen, which causes hormonal imbalances and increases the risks of depression, heart disease, osteoporosis, diabetes, hypertension and breast cancer.

Kameswari is also the director of the health services unit of a Hyderabad-based nongovernmental organization called Life-Health Reinforcement Group, which studied 171 women who had undergone a hysterectomy from a cluster of villages in one block of Medak district. Sundar was one of the participants.

Their 2011 study found that the average age of the women who had opted for a hysterectomy was 28.

In general, most Indian women stop menstruating and enter menopause between the ages of 45 and 55, according to Kameswari’s study.

The proportion of women aged 30-49 who are menopausal in Andhra Pradesh is 31 percent, far above the national average of around 18 percent and the highest in India, according to the second National Family Health Survey, a government health survey published in 1998-1999.

Wombs and the wolves

The Week – Journalism with a Human Touch

“I feel sick.”These words still echo in my ears. They did not come from a dying man or a depressed woman. They were whimpered by scores of ‘normal’ women in India’s rural hinterlands.

The cause lay in two words uttered by their unscrupulous doctors: bacchedani kharaab. These gullible women were told their uteri were faulty, and that they had to be removed.

THE WEEK’s journey through some villages in Bihar and Rajasthan revealed the plight of women—many of them allegedly unmarried—whose wombs were removed as “treatment” for everything, from a simple stomach ache to menstrual issues.

Why? The reason, again, lay in two words: filthy lucre.

Sunita Devi, a 35-year-old labourer of Latbasepur village in Bihar’s Samastipur district, would tell us more. It all started with a debilitating stomach pain, which she had ignored for long. Thanks to the Rashtriya Swasthya Bima Yojana, she hoped to finally get proper treatment at a private hospital.

At Krishna Hospital, one of the hospitals empanelled in the rural health scheme, Sunita was told she needed an appendicitis surgery. And a hysterectomy, too. She underwent both eight months ago. Today, she is feeble. “I often get palpitations,” she said. “I get frequent headaches and gas trouble.”

The mother of five can no longer work in the fields. She now assists at a small shop in the village. The plight of her two sisters-in-law who also underwent hysterectomies is no different.

Three years ago, the RSBY, which entitles families below poverty line to free treatment up to Rs.30,000 a year, was implemented in Samastipur district of Bihar. It was a godsend for the rural masses. But, in the hands of greedy doctors, it became a cruel instrument to siphon off public money.

The Samastipur scam came to fore when District Magistrate Kundan Kumar found an alarming number of hysterectomies conducted by private nursing homes during an RSBY meeting. Of 14,851 procedures conducted under RSBY between 2010 and 2012 in 16 empanelled hospitals in Samastipur, 5,503 were hysterectomies. That is about 37 per cent of all procedures. In some hospitals, more than 50 per cent were hysterectomies, which costs the highest of all procedures under the RSBY scheme.

Kundan Kumar organised a five-day medical camp to ascertain if the procedures conducted were needed. About 2,600 women who had undergone hysterectomy attended the camp. The expert team found 717 cases of unwanted surgery, 124 cases of underage surgery, 320 cases of fleecing and 23 cases of non-surgery.

The magistrate’s report clearly pointed to gross unethical practices. For instance, Anita Devi, 23, who complained of abdominal pain and white discharge, had been operated upon. The expert team commented: “Conservative treatment should have done, hysterectomy not justified.” Similar was the case of Ratna Devi, 40, who underwent hysterectomy for appendicitis.

The report noted that many beneficiaries mentioned by the private hospitals could not be traced. In many cases, the hospitals simply swiped their RSBY cards but never conducted the procedures. There were also instances of procedures being marked against the name of dead people. Worse, some hysterectomy ‘cases’ reportedly turned out to be men!

It was found that many of the private hospitals and nursing homes did not have the requisite infrastructure for the procedures. Only some of them had well-trained surgeons, and in a few cases, operations were conducted by non-medical practitioners.

Subsequently, 12 of 16 nursing homes in Samastipur were de-panelled from the list. FIRs, too, were lodged against five of these guilty hospitals under various sections.

The involved doctors, meanwhile, were doing their best to cover their tracks. “Dr Thakur from Krishna Hospital often comes to our house asking for our signature on some paper,” said the family of Sangita Devi, 26. Sangita underwent hysterectomy two years ago. Since then, she has been battling frequent spells of weakness, dizziness and  headaches. She now weighs just 30kg and can hardly manage any work. She has already spent Rs.5,000 on medicine and the frequent trips to the doctors are eating away most of what her husband earns. When THE WEEK contacted, Dr Thakur refused to meet us.

According to Debi,  99% of Dis-Ease is a result of disruptions in the Three Pillars of Health. These health challenges or weight loss struggles are often due to the fact that we do not have a manual for our body, we have never learned the language of our own body. By the end of the 12 week coaching program, you will be forever in charge of your health and better able to recognize early red flags and warning signs of impending diagnosis for not only you, but your children.

Debi Waldeck is a passionate advocate for change who teaches thousands to learn the language of their own body allowing them to take control of their health.  Debi’s inspiration to learn the foundation of preventative health originated with a health diagnosis, subsequent pregnancy, and instructions to abort her baby.  Debi chose to proceed with the pregnancy.  Her child was born with complications which fueled Debi to understand chronic health conditions like few others.  Debi’s journalistic research uncovered answers that resulted in total restoration of health for her son who is now a graduating senior from the United States Military Academy.  After 7 years of research and health restoration, Debi went on to become nationally recognized as a provider of continuing education credits for numerous organizations including the ACSM and in the last 15 years has helped tens of thousands improve health and recognize and navigate early red-flags and warning signs of impending diagnosis.

Debi is recognized as a top professional speaker addressing more than 50,000 individuals nationally and internationally.  Debi has been a guest on hundreds of radio shows and has appeared on TV shows such as NW Afternoon and AM Northwest and holds a degree in Health Administration.  As Dr. Milan Moore says, ‘Debi Waldeck has made a personal journey into and through the ineffable feeling many of us have that more medication is not the answer to restoring our health.  Through her years of exploration, she has developed a profound understanding of the relationship between our body’s absorption and health, and, similarly, between our thought processes and wealth. Her approach achieves that rare balance between the comprehensive and the practical.”  Dr. Tom Smutney continues, ‘As a practicing physician of neuromuscular medicine, I see that patients are getting sicker, healing poorly, and having poorer outcomes in spite of giant leaps in technology and diagnostics. Debi Waldeck’s presentations offer a ray of light at the end of the tunnel for winning the battle against closed minded western medicine. Debi is inspirational, an outstanding speaker, extraordinarily well versed, and brilliantly well informed. Additionally, Debi is adept at simplifying difficult answers to tough questions. Debi’s connections between “poorly defined” and/or “chronic sequential deterioration” medical conditions and clear nutritional sense as a potential pathway back toward health are brilliant.’

Debi’s much needed message is delivered through books, webinars, online video coaching, and powerful seminars.  Debi brilliantly teaches that most disease is a disruption in one or all of the three pillars of health; she teaches the individual the language of their own body and how the gut trains the immune system.  Restoring the three pillars of health has helped thousands achieve hope, health and happiness.

Women – and our offspring – and their offspring and…. how many more generations will bear the brunt of the damage? Again.

BRCA1 Gene: Is the morning after pill also a cancer shadow for women?

WASHINGTON, May 15, 2013 ― Angelina Jolie, in a New York Times op-ed, revealed that she has the mutated BRCA1 (pronounced brak-uh) gene, a condition that gave her an 87 percent chance of developing breast cancer. Jolie, whose mother died from the disease, decided to undergo a preventative double mastectomy in February: “I can tell my children that they don’t need to fear they will lose me to breast cancer.”She closed her piece with this statement: “I choose not to keep my story private because there are many women who do not know that they might be living under the shadow of cancer.”Although Jolie was referring to the estimated five percent of women who also carry the defective BRCA1 or BRCA2 gene, 12 million women in America live under the shadow of cancer for a reason that neither media nor the medical community wants to talk about — the proven link between breast cancer and contraceptive pills.

Florence Williams at Slate reported in 2010, “Last summer, in a study of more than 50,000 African American women, Boston University epidemiologist Lynn Rosenberg found a 65 percent increase in a particularly aggressive form of breast cancer among those who had ever taken the birth control pill. The risk doubles for those who had used the contraceptive within the past five years and had taken it for longer than 10 years.”

LifeSiteNews reports that Dr. Angela Lanfranchi, a breast surgical oncologist and cofounder of the Breast Cancer Prevention Institute, calls the pill a “Molotov cocktail” for breast cancer. She points to several statistics, which she writes include “a 2006 Mayo Clinic meta-analysis that concluded that breast cancer risk rises 50 percent for women taking oral contraceptives four or more years before a full-term pregnancy. In 2009, the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center found that women starting the pill before 18 nearly quadruple their risk of triple negative breast cancer. Even more shocking, Swedish oncologist Hakan Olsson concluded that pill use before the age of 20 increases a young woman’s breast cancer risk by more than 1000 percent.”

Out of Sync: Body Clocks Altered at Cell Level in Depression

ScienceDaily
May 13, 2013

May 13, 2013 — Every cell in our bodies runs on a 24-hour clock, tuned to the night-day, light-dark cycles that have ruled us since the dawn of humanity. The brain acts as timekeeper, keeping the cellular clock in sync with the outside world so that it can govern our appetites, sleep, moods and much more.

But new research shows that the clock may be broken in the brains of people with depression — even at the level of the gene activity inside their brain cells.

It’s the first direct evidence of altered circadian rhythms in the brain of people with depression, and shows that they operate out of sync with the usual ingrained daily cycle. The findings, in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, come from scientists from the University of Michigan Medical School and other institutions.

The discovery was made by sifting through massive amounts of data gleaned from donated brains of depressed and non-depressed people. With further research, the findings could lead to more precise diagnosis and treatment for a condition that affects more than 350 million people worldwide.

What’s more, the research also reveals a previously unknown daily rhythm to the activity of many genes across many areas of the brain — expanding the sense of how crucial our master clock is.

In a normal brain, the pattern of gene activity at a given time of the day is so distinctive that the authors could use it to accurately estimate the hour of death of the brain donor, suggesting that studying this “stopped clock” could conceivably be useful in forensics. By contrast, in severely depressed patients, the circadian clock was so disrupted that a patient’s “day” pattern of gene activity could look like a “night” pattern — and vice versa.

Understanding Your Mind, Mood and Hormone Cycle and how it interacts with drugs and alcohol is the subject of my interview with Internationally Recognized Expert on Hormones and Behavior and author, Leslie Carol Botha, WHE. Leslie is also the publisher of the Holy Hormones Journal and host of the Holy Hormones Honey Radio Program, on the air Monday nights 6 to 7 pm MST on KRFC FM.

Interview with Leslie Carol Botha, WHE – Understanding Your Mind, Mood and Hormone Cycle and How It Interacts with Drugs and Alcohol

1.  Your book, Understanding Your Mind, Mood and Hormone Cycle, has just been released. Briefly describe your book’s message.

Understanding Your Mind, Mood, and Hormone Cycle – UMMHC –  is dedicated to the women who want to understand the intimate relationship between their hormone cycle and its impact on their thoughts and feelings in their everyday activities. It is filled with common sense information, structured to provide a deeper appreciation of the power women exercise over their lives by simply learning about, understanding and acknowledging cyclical hormonal changes.

Modern medicine has promoted the concept of specialization – a separation that pertains not only to the condition of the different parts of the body, but also encourages us to consider our own body, mind, heart and spirit as separate and not part of an integrated system. This perspective of separation has given women the idea that we need to consult a specialist to treat isolated parts of our body, as well as specialists for our mind, emotions, and spirit. We have divided ourselves into such small segments that it seems no one has the ability to put us back together again.  Creating healthy begins with a shift in this perspective to one that recognizes the whole body really is something much greater than the sum of its parts; a shift that recognizes that health is our birthright and represents our natural state. Such a change in perception can change how we express vibrant health and inner peace.

Since Gardasil and Cervarix have been on the market and up until March 2013, 519 reports of abnormal pap smears, 209 reports of cervical dysplasia and 62 cases of cervical cancer have been reported to VAERS – the Vaccine Adverse Event Tracking System.  It is estimated that only 1 to 10% of the vaccinated population is reporting.

ACOG recently raised their pap test guidelines to age 21.  This means if a girl was vaccinated at age 9 – she will not be required to get a pap for 11 years; whether or not she is sexually active.

Although HPV has not been directly linked to cervical cancer (NCI) – it is present amongst other infections.

Not to mention that ACOG is also pushing synthetic hormone implants (Merck), IUDs and injections on a population of girls too young to advocate condom use for themselves.

This is all wrong.

Secondly, articles appeared in the media including the Bloomberg Businessweek heralding that only 2 doses of Merck’s HPV Vaccine – Gardasil might be needed.  WTH? Shouldn’t this have been determined prior to going on the market?  Holy Hormones! Oh, I said that already.  Well, let me move on.

This is my spin on this revelation.  Too many girls are experiencing side effects after the first vaccination.  The doctor’s can lure/reel/coerce their patients in for a second vaccine… but if they continue to experience side effects after that – most girls and parents opt out on the third and vaccination.

In this case – the third time is not the charm. ( Nor is the first or second time for that matter.)

Something’s hinky in the land of Gardasil surveillance and it’s not just the vaccine. It’s the statistics used in one of their widely reported surveillance studies on Gardasil-suspected autoimmune conditions. From the medical marketing and even the abstract of the study, which is all that most will ever read, it looks like there is no connection between the vaccine and the onset of autoimmune conditions.
