Research: Insulin Can Kill Diabetics; Natural Substances Heal ThemGreen Med Info – by Sayer Ji

A paradigm-shifting study indicates that the standard of care for diabetics, including synthetic insulin and oral anti-diabetic drugs, increases morbidity and mortality from diabetes. Natural substances, on the other hand, have proven healing properties that if used, could mitigate the global diabetes epidemic. 

A new study titled, “Glucose-lowering with exogenous insulin monotherapy in type 2 diabetes: dose association with all-cause mortality, cardiovascular events, and incident cancer,” renews concern over the harms caused by synthetic insulin in type 2 diabetics previously highlighted in a 2013 study that found double the death rate in type 2 diabetics on insulin therapy.   Continue reading “Research: Insulin Can Kill Diabetics; Natural Substances Heal Them”

“The great enemy of the truth is very often not the lie—deliberate, contrived, and dishonest, but the myth—persistent, persuasive, and unrealistic. Belief in myths allows the comfort of opinion without the discomfort of thought.”

It perhaps shouldn’t come as a surprise that Officer Darren Wilson will not stand trial for killing Michael Brown in Ferguson, Missouri. A new study shows police involved in fatal shootings are rarely charged with a crime.

Criminologist Philip Stinson at Bowling Green State University reviewed 6,700 incidents of police being charged with a crime. Of this total, Stinson found only 41 officers indicted over a seven-year period for either murder or manslaughter in connection with on-duty shootings. The Federal Bureau of Investigation reported 2,718 justified homicides by law enforcement from 2004 to 2011, which was an incomplete count.   Continue reading “Most Police Shootings Don’t Lead to Prosecution of Police”

More than 10,000 Palestinian minors in the occupied West Bank and annexed Jerusalem have been held by the Israeli army for varying periods since 2000, a Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO) official said Wednesday, adding that 20 percent of those detained since June of this year are minors.

“Israel does not provide any immunity for children and regularly violates international agreements on children’s rights by humiliating and torturing them and denying them fair trials,” Issa Qaraqe, head of the PLO’s committee on detainees, said in a statement.   Continue reading “Israel Has Detained 10,000 Palestinian Children Since 2000”

Tech Swarm – by Nicolas West

Virtual reality is already being embraced for its entertainment value, as well as by the military and the scientific establishment. It is also a goal of The Singularity Movement to enable a full mind upload as we increase our merger with machines toward a path of supposed immortality.

However, scientists are beginning to study the effects of how virtual reality can impact one’s perception of themselves inside the virtual matrix, as well as a potential for transferred perceptions of those around them in the real world.   Continue reading “New Research Shows How Virtual Reality Shuts Down The Brain”

We congratulate Drs. Francis Collins and Tony Fauci and their teams at the National Institutes of Health (NIH) on the first published results from Phase 1 clinical trials of a promising Ebola vaccine candidate. This candidate has shown initial promise to prevent the spread of the Ebola virus infection.

The outstanding work of the Department of Health and Human Services’ agencies — NIH, the centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the Food and Drug Administration, and the Biomedical Advance Research and Development Authority — to conduct expedited vaccine trials is evidence of this Administration’s determination to mount an aggressive, whole-of-governement response to the Ebola crisis.   Continue reading “White House Press Secretary: Clinical Trial Results of a Promising Ebola Vaccine Candidate”

New York City’s largest police union lashed out against the Legal Aid Society’s new database that catalogues the misdeeds of bad cops.

“Compiling a list of police officers who are alleged to be ‘bad’ based upon newspapers stories, quick-buck lawsuits and baseless complaints does nothing more than soil the reputation of the men and women who do the difficult and dangerous job of keeping this city and its citizens safe,” Patrolmen’s Benevolent Association President Pat Lynch said in a statement Thursday.   Continue reading “New York Patrolmen’s Benevolent Association strikes back against ‘bad cop’ database”

Cynthia Conti-Cook, who is running the Cop Accountability Program, said Legal Aid has already uploaded 2,750 entries into its database — everything from lawsuits and Civilian Complain Review Board histories to judges’ rulings and newspaper stories.New York Daily News – by ROCCO PARASCANDOLA

The NYPD has another layer of accountability to deal with — the Legal Aid Society has created a database of cops who behave badly.

The group’s lawyers, who represent those who can’t afford to pay for an attorney, contend police do a poor job tracking cops who are accused of wrongdoing and repeatedly sued.

The Cop Accountability Program, or CAP, will collect information about cops accused of wrongdoing, then share it with Legal Aid lawyers and attorneys from outside firms.   Continue reading “NYPD cops accused of wrongdoing will have information collected into Legal Aid Society’s database”

In Pamplona, Spain the yearly tradition is to throw yourself into an arena and run for your life as an onslaught of bulls chases you. In America, we have a similar tradition, but the bulls are replaced with human sheeple who will stop at nothing to ensure they walk away with the best consumer deals they can find. People are often hurt in both events and sometimes the annual runnings even lead to death as the weaker sheep are trampled during all the commotion.

This year the Boston Globe estimates that about 100 million Americans will head out for their annual running and they’ll spend upwards of $13 billion in a single day.   Continue reading “Running Of The Sheep: America 2014 in Video: People Trampled, Brawls, Cops Assaulted, Tasers, Mayhem…”

Rescued Beagle Clings to Outside of Ambulance to Stay with His HumanCare 2 – by Susan Bird

Buddy is one determined dog. When his human was in trouble, he refused to be left behind — even though it meant riding on the outside of a speeding ambulance. His devotion has made him a viral sensation.

Buddy, a beagle-mix, bonded quickly and strongly with his adoptive guardian, 85-year-old Texas rancher J.R. Nickelson, who rescued Buddy from a shelter over the summer. When Nickelson began to feel dizzy recently, ranch hand Brian Wright called for an ambulance.   Continue reading “Rescued Beagle Clings to Outside of Ambulance to Stay with His Human”

It said the nuclear submarine Alexander Nevsky fired the missile from under water in the Barents Sea and it landed on a military training ground in Russia’s far eastern peninsula of Kamchatka, as planned.   Continue reading “Russian submarine test-launches Bulava intercontinental missile”

The Anti-Media – by Carey Wedler

A recently published FBI report accidentally proves that while the police claim cops face growing threats from rowdy populations–like in Ferguson–the opposite is true. The report presents law enforcement deaths in 2013.

The report found that across the entire country, only 76 LEOs were killed in “line-of-duty” incidents. 27 died as a result of “felonious” acts and 49 officers died in accidents–namely, automobile (ironically, of the 23 killed in car accidents, 14 were not wearing seat belts–a violation for which cops routinely ticket drivers). More officers die from accidents than actual murders on the job. The report also outright admits that intentional murders of cops were down from 2004 and 2009.   Continue reading “FBI Report Accidentally Exposes the Severity of the Police State”

Thief who 'robbed pensioner with knife' is stripped naked and clingfilmed to a lamppostMetro – by Rob Waugh

A mob dished out some very sweaty justice to an alleged thief who was spotted attempting to rob a pensioner with a knife – he was stripped naked, then wrapped head to foot in clingfilm and tied to a lamppost.

People took photographs as 32-year-old Valentino Abeyta Barrera sweltered in Chilean capital Santiago’s 27-degree heat, with his underpants around his ankles.

He was left for 20 minutes before police arrived – and the alleged thief refused to explain why he was there, begging the police to free him.   Continue reading “Thief who ‘robbed pensioner with knife’ is stripped and clingfilmed to a lamppost”

A man shot up a federal courthouse and a Mexican consulate — which he also seemingly tried to set ablaze — early Friday before being shot dead outside the Austin, Texas, police headquarters, that city’s police chief said.

The shooter fired “over 100 rounds” in a roughly 10-minute span, but he did not hit anyone even though the bullets ricocheted at a typically busy time in downtown Austin, when streets fill up with people after bars close for the night.   Continue reading “Gunman Fired ‘Over 100 Rounds’ at Austin, Texas Government Buildings Before Being Killed: Police”
