 If you want to talk about public health, let's talk about public health that works. Let's talk about being able to prevent diseases with a nickel's worth of nutritional supplements per day per person. Because that's what you can do with simple vitamins and minerals. Zinc alone, if given to expectant mothers, can reduce the incidence of low birth weight infants by nearly one third. Vitamin D supplementation can prevent prostate cancer, breast cancer, osteoporosis and many other disorders. And magnesium, of course, can greatly improve cardiovascular health and actually help prevent heart attacks. |

 Robinson worked in the College of public health. The practice of public health had long been defined as that of protecting and improving the health of a community through such preventive measures as education, vaccines, sanitation, and monitoring environmental hazards. public health scientists, funded by government grants, have also looked more broadly at the long-term risks and benefits of prescription medicines. But in Iowa the College of public health had become a magnet for industrial drug trials, some of which did not end up serving the public's health. |

| I'm quite healthy without the meddling of conventional doctors, their warped public health policies, and their egomaniacal ideas of subjecting the population to procedures that are essentially harebrained medical experiments. |
| If it were really about public health, every time a woman gave birth to a child, we'd hand them a manual called "Nutrition For Your Baby," and we'd teach them the basics of how to keep that baby healthy and prevent chronic disease. But we don't do any of that. We don't educate mothers in this country about nutrition and how to protect the health of their babies. We don't educate our children in public schools, and astoundingly, we don't even teach our doctors about nutrition in our medical schools! How crazy is that? |
| It's more like a bunch of bumbling medical authorities making silly suggestions about testing the entire population for a disease that isn't even close to the top of the list of public health concerns. The mainstream media has blown the AIDS myths all out of proportion. Let me explain...
I'm not saying that the HIV virus doesn't exist or that lots of people aren't suffering from immune system suppression. |
| When I hear ridiculous public health ideas like this one, I have to stop and consider: what's the real motive behind this? It seems clear to me that the motive for this one is to sell more AIDS drugs. Because the first thing that will happen if you start testing the entire adult population for AIDS is you will get a lot of false positives.
In fact, there are an increasing number of doctors who say that AIDS isn't even caused by HIV. There's a great book on this subject by Dr. Gary Null called "AIDS: A second opinion," where Dr. Null says that AIDS is really just an immuno-suppressed state. |

 I think a low-cost vitamin D sensor represents one of the most desperately-needed technologies for enhancing public health and preventing disease in a way that would make much of today's expensive cancer treatments utterly obsolete. And that, my friends, is exactly why you'll never see this technology. Anything that prevents cancer at near-zero cost, without drugs, surgery or chemotherapy, would spell disaster for the multi billion-dollar cancer industry -- an industry that depends on the continuation of disease to guarantee next quarter's profits. |

| So out of the long list of things that we could be doing to enhance public health, to eliminate chronic disease and to improve nutrition, the only thing that these doctors can come up with in terms of a suggestion is to test the whole country for AIDS. On my list of the top 1000 things that we need to do to improve the health of our population, testing the whole country for AIDS is somewhere down around #972. There are so many other things that we should be doing first. |

 These promising results have tremendous public health implications. "Since even one previous attempt multiplies suicide risk by 38 to 40 times, and suicide is the fourth leading cause of death for adults, a proven way to prevent repeat attempts has important public health implications," said the Director of the National Institute of Mental Health, Thomas Insel.18
CBT has some highly practical applications. |

 The findings "reflect the ongoing reality that the world still considers mental health care as a low priority within public health," says Dr. Benedetto Saraceno, WHO director of mental health and substance abuse. "Public health planners and decisionmakers need to take the mental health needs of their populations more seriously."
Although the United States devotes more of its health expenditures to mental health than many other nations, the proportion? percent—is meager considering the hordes of Americans affected and the devastating consequences of these disorders. |

 The most dramatic improvements in longevity over the last couple of hundred years have been through public health, not through medicine," he says. "But public health is notoriously unprofitable. People don't make a profit preventing disease. They make a profit through medicine—treating critical, advanced stages of disease."12
Is There a Healthy Level of Homocysteine?
Unlike cholesterol, which the body needs for the production of certain cell parts and hormones, homocysteine provides no health benefit. The higher the level of homocysteine, the greater the risk of cardiovascular disease. |

 In the Netherlands thirty years ago, public health officials recommended rickets prevention via 2,000 IU of vitamin D a day (via cod-liver oil) from birth through a child's first birthday. In 1997, Dr. Elina Hypponen and her colleagues at the Tampere School of public health in Finland analyzed health records of babies who were born in 1966 in Oulu and Lapland, Finland, to check for development of type 1 diabetes. This landmark analysis showed an 80 percent reduction in occurrence of type 1 diabetes among those who were receiving vitamin D at 2,000 IU per day. |

 In 1935, after millions die from the disease, the director of the U.S public health Office would finally admit that officials had known that it was caused by a niacin deficiency for some time, but did nothing about it because it mostly affected poor African-Americans. During the Nuremberg Trials, Nazi doctors used this study to try to justify their medical experiments on concentration camp inmates (Greger; Cockburn and St. Clair, eds.).

 That food and eating stand in need of a defense might seem counterintuitive at a time when "overnutrition" is emerging as a more serious threat to public health than undernutrition. But I contend that most of what we're consuming today is no longer, strictly speaking, food at all, and how we're consuming it—-in the car, in front of the TV, and, increasingly, alone—is not really eating, at least not in the sense that civilization has long understood the term. |

| I think it is no exaggeration to label these people criminals and consider them to be a threat to public health. Those who promote the mass poisoning of children -- regardless of their stated intentions -- are no less a threat to the health and safety of American children than terrorists wielding biological or chemical weapons. Terrorists may have killed thousands of Americans, but doctors and dentists have poisoned tens of millions of children in the last decade alone, and they can't wait to poison more through mandatory vaccination programs! |

 There is obviously a serious conflict of interest here, especially if this study is to be taken as "fact" and applied to public health policy. There also need to be a close look at any financial links between the researchers involved in this study and various vaccine manufacturers, as virtually all pro-drug "science" (if you can call it that) being published these days is influenced by Big Pharma money.
The only truly honest, independent, peer-reviewed medical journal operating today is PLoS Medicine, an open-source journal that takes no money from drug companies. |

| More recently, scientists recognized that many of us also had a deficiency of folic acid in our diet, and in 1996 public health authorities ordered millers to start adding folic acid to flour as well. But it would take longer still for science to realize that this "Wonder Bread" strategy of supplementation, as one nutritionist has called it, might not solve all the problems caused by the refining of grain. |

 He is no more of a threat to public health than your typical doctor, and no patient should be imprisoned by hospital authorities simply for having an infection of a disease that doesn't even pose a threat to healthy individuals.
The alternative is to turn the U.S. into a medical police state, where anybody with a cough is arrested at gunpoint, and AIDS patients are thrown into detainment camps, and anybody who refuses "treatment" with synthetic chemicals gets thrown into jail. Imagine being arrested for not taking your statin drugs, antidepressants or blood thinners. |

| At the behest of government panels, nutrition scientists, and public health officials, we have dramatically changed the way we eat and the way we think about food, in what stands as the biggest experiment in applied nutritionism in history. Thirty years later, we have good reason to believe that putting the nutritionists in charge of the menu and the kitchen has not only ruined an untold number
"whole-grain goodness" to the rafters. Watch out for those health claims. of meals, but also has done little for our health, except very possibly to make it worse.
These are strong words, I know. |

| But what about public health? Shouldn't kids be protected against infectious disease?
There are many doctors who continue to argue in favor of mass vaccination programs. The point of these programs, they say, is to protect children and "save lives" from infectious disease. So why shouldn't we listen to the doctors on all this? Because they completely fail to recognize these crucial facts about vaccines and children's health:
1) Many of the vaccines being administered today are designed to prevent non-lethal infections like Chicken Pox. |

| Liebig's elevation of protein dominated nutritionist thinking for decades as public health authorities worked to expand access to and production of the master nutrient (especially in the form of animal protein), with the goal of growing bigger, and therefore (it was assumed) healthier, people. (A high priority for Western governments fighting imperial wars.) To a considerable extent we still have a food system organized around the promotion of protein as the master nutrient. |

| In fact, there's hardly a chemical or heavy metal being used in public health today that isn't safe enough to be injected into the bodies of children, if you believe these so-called health "experts."
What they don't seem to recognize is that virtually every study conducted on the "safety" of these chemicals has been fraudulently conducted and influenced by industry. It is in the interests of powerful corporations (drug companies and chemical manufacturers) to keep the public hoodwinked over the dangers of toxic chemicals. |

 Exercise recommendations have changed over the years and will likely continue to change with time. public health recommendations vary by organization. I recommend engaging in 40 to 60 minutes of moderate-intensity physical activity such as brisk walking on most days of the week or at a vigorous intensity for 20 minutes per day. It should be noted here that the effects of exercise on CVD risk factors are not permanent. Code and colleagues found that, in both men and women, the effects of exercise on blood pressure disappeared within weeks after the return to a sedentary lifestyle. |
| In the last few years, there has been a lot of public health information available on the importance of avoiding alcohol while pregnant, but when it comes to the influence of alcohol consumption on female fertility, mild to moderate alcohol use has not been well studied. It seems, however, that alcohol does reduce conception rates with a dose-related connection. Research demonstrated that female alcohol intake was associated with two to three times the risk of spontaneous abortion, and alcohol intake during the week of conception increased the risk of early pregnancy loss. |
| Menstrual cramps are a significant personal and public health problem for women. Of the 50 percent of menstruating women who are affected by menstrual cramps, about 10 percent have severe pain that renders them incapacitated for one to three days each month.1 It is estimated that 600 million work hours are lost in a year in the United States because of untreated and incapacitating dysmenorrhea. Social and family life is also disrupted by the painful episodes.
Primary dysmenorrhea occurs most commonly between the ages of 20 and 24. Women in this age group experience the most severe pain. |
| Because of firmly established connections between deficiencies of folic acid and low-birth weight infants and neural tube defects, the U.S. public health Service recommends that all women of child-bearing age take daily folic acid supplementation to reduce the risk of congenital birth defects.
Dietary folic acid is a mixture of folates in the form of polyglutamates, which are readily destroyed by cooking. |
