Hippocratic Medicine

The other day I was looking at a Hansen’s apple juice container and on the container it read 120% Vitamin C. The first thought that I had was how can any number be greater than 100%? The next question I had was who are these people determining how much vitamin C is in our drinks. They are obviously dumb asses if they think there can be a 120% of anything. The final (and most important) question is what is Vitamin C…If vitamin C is found in fresh fruits then how are these pharmaceutical companies able to extricate this “vitamin” from these fresh fruits and then redistribute it in a dry preserved form in a gelatin or sugar capsule. It would seem that a lot of the vitality that fruits offer come from its freshness. What I learned about Vitamin C was most disturbing. What I learned about Vitamins altogether caused serious alarm. Let us first examine the origins of the word Vitamin:

In 1912, the Polish-American biochemist Casimir Funk, while researching beriberi in pigeons, developed the concept of vitamins to refer to the non-mineral micro-nutrients that are essential to health. The name is a blend of "vital", due to the vital biochemical role they play, and "amines" because Funk thought that all these materials were chemical amines

The word literally translates into vital ammonium (amines is a derivative of ammonium).

Amines are derivatives of ammonia

Ammonia is a compound of nitrogen and hydrogen with the formula NH3. It is a colourless gas with a characteristic pungent odour. Ammonia contributes significantly to the nutritional needs of terrestrial organisms by serving as a precursor to food and fertilizers. Ammonia, either directly or indirectly, is also a building block for the synthesis of many pharmaceuticals. Although in wide use, ammonia is both caustic and hazardous. In 2006, worldwide production was estimated at 146.5 million tons. It is used in commercial cleaning products.

Ammonia is a colourless Gas (i.e. pure poison) with a pungent odor. Imagine a gas leak in your home that causes sickness that you cannot sea, but your headache and vomiting allows you to feel. It contributes to the nutritional needs of “terrestrial organisms” (whatever those are) and serves as a precursor to “fertilizer” (it is shit). “Ammonia/shit is the main building block for the creation of most pharmaceuticals. In wide use it is both caustic and hazardous.”

Let’s look up the word caustic.

A corrosive substance is one that will destroy or irreversibly damage another surface or substance with which it comes into contact. The main hazards to people include damage to the eyes, the skin, and the tissue under the skin; inhalation or ingestion of a corrosive substance can damage the Respiratory and Gastrointestinal tracts. Exposure results in chemical burn.

Good thing it is only caustic and hazardous in “wide use”. The following sentence states that in 2006 they only produced 146,000,000,000 (or 146 BILLION) pounds of it. Vitamin C is also known as ascorbic acid and it was identified as an antidote to scurvy. Scurvy was first identified by Hippocrates:

Hippocrates of Cos or Hippokrates of Kos (ca. 460 BC – ca. 370 BC) -was an ancient Greek physician of the Age of Pericles (Classical Athens), and is considered one of the most outstanding figures in the history of medicine. He is referred to as the Western father of medicine in recognition of his lasting contributions to the field as the founder of the Hippocratic School of medicine. This intellectual school revolutionized medicine in ancient Greece, establishing it as a discipline distinct from other fields that it had traditionally been associated with (notably theurgy and philosophy), thus making medicine a profession.

The actions of Hippocrates himself are often commingled; thus very little is known about what Hippocrates actually thought, wrote, and did. Nevertheless, Hippocrates is commonly portrayed as the paragon of the ancient physician. In particular, he is credited with greatly advancing the systematic study of clinical medicine, summing up the medical knowledge of previous schools, and prescribing practices for physicians through the Hippocratic Oath and other works.

hyp·o·crite   

–noun

1. a person who pretends to have virtues, moral or religious beliefs, principles, etc., that he or she does not actually possess,

2. a person who feigns some desirable or publicly approved attitude,

Origin:

Greek hippokratḗs a stage actor, hence one who pretends to be what he is not

If you look at Time Magazines Man of The Year in 1938 they nominated Hitler. Therefore it can hardly be surprising that when the article begins they give credit to medical researchers who found that “Nicotinic Acid” was a cure for pellagra. Pellagra is a horrible version of Leprosy.

Men of the Year, outstanding in comprehensive science, were three medical researchers who discovered that nicotinic acid was a cure for human pellagra: Drs. Tom Douglas Spies of Cincinnati General Hospital, Marion Arthur Blankenhorn of the University of Cincinnati, Clark Niel Cooper of Waterloo, Iowa.

Nicotine: Despite the extreme toxicity of the tropanes, they are important drugs when administered in appropriate (and extremely small) dosages. They can reverse cholinergic poisoning, which can be caused by overexposure to pesticides and chemical warfare agents such as sarin and VX They can also be used as antiemetics in people prone to motion sickness or receiving chemotherapy.

Nicotine is the leading cause of cancer in industrialized countries and it was the first mass produced medicine. HYPOCRATIC.

The following is the description of how chemotherapy came to be used as a medicine to cure cancer.

The first use of drugs to treat cancer, however, was in the early 20th century, although it was not originally intended for that purpose. Mustard gas was used as a chemical warfare agent during World War I and was used further during World War II. During a military operation in World War II, a group of people were accidentally exposed to mustard gas and were later found to have very low white blood cell counts. It was reasoned that an agent that damaged the rapidly-growing white blood cells might have a similar effect on cancer

It was “reasoned?” This has nothing to do with the Rastafari definition of reasoning (it is the exact opposite). Let me translate…They were poisoning people with mustard gas/agent orange/uranium/plutonium and somehow they decided that this could make for good medicine to cure the cancer it was creating. Mustard gas/plutonium is mined from the bottom of the earth and it is poisonous/toxic and it is one of the leading causes of cancer and death. Mustard gas is what Mussolini used in Itheopia to poison their entire population after they had been routed by King Selassie I’s Imperial forces. Here is how Jesus described Mussolini’s use of Mustard Gas:

It was at the time when the operations for the encircling of Makale were taking place that the Italian command, fearing a rout, followed the procedure which it is now my duty to denounce to the world. Special sprayers were installed on board aircraft so that they could vaporize, over vast areas of territory, a fine, death-dealing rain. Groups of nine, fifteen, eighteen aircraft followed one another so that the fog issuing from them formed a continuous sheet. It was thus that, as from the end of January 1936, soldiers, women, children, cattle, rivers, lakes, and pastures were drenched continually with this deadly mustard gas. In order to kill off systematically all living creatures, in order to more surely poison waters and pastures, the Italian command made its aircraft pass over and over again. That was its chief method of warfare

They also offer Radiation for cancer treatment:

Radiation is known as a poison due to its high toxicity.

Radiation therapy (in North America), or radiotherapy (in the UK and Australia) also called radiation oncology, and sometimes abbreviated to XRT, is the medical use of ionizing radiation as part of cancer treatment to control malignant cells

Hippocratic!

Let’s revisit Nicotine as a medicine. In the following paragraph it states that Nicotine was widely used as an “insecticide.”

It functions as an antiherbivore chemical with particular specificity to insects; therefore nicotine was widely used as an insecticide in the past, and currently nicotine analogs such as imidacloprid continue to be widely used.

If you go back to the earlier definition of Nicotine it states the following:

Nicotine can reverse cholinergic poisoning, which can be caused by overexposure to pesticides

You cannot sew a stitch with one hand while your other is taking it apart.

In low concentrations (an average cigarette yields about 1 mg of absorbed nicotine), the substance acts as a stimulant in mammals and is the main factor responsible for the dependence-forming properties of tobacco smoking. According to the American Heart Association, the "nicotine addiction has historically been one of the hardest addictions to break." The pharmacological and behavioral characteristics that determine tobacco addiction are similar to those that determine addiction to drugs such as heroin and cocaine. Nicotine content in cigarettes has slowly increased over the years, and one study found that there was a large increase per year between the years of 1998 and 2005. This was found for all major market categories of cigarettes.

Nicotine is named after Jean Nicot de Villemain, French ambassador in Portugal, who sent nicotine from Brazil to Paris in 1560 and promoted their medicinal use. Nicotine was later identified in 1828 by German chemists Posselt & Reimann, who considered it a poison

Let me translate the proceeding information regarding Nicotine…It creates more dependency among African’s.

Nicotine also has an affinity for melanin-containing tissues due to its precursor function in melanin synthesis or its irreversible binding of melanin and nicotine. This has been suggested to underlie the increased nicotine dependence and lower smoking cessation rates in darker pigmented individuals

In order to make it near impossible for those with darker pigmented skin to quit, the cigarette companies also add methanol/menthol/gasoline to their cigarettes in order to further increase addiction and destruction of African American’s

Nicotine is unique in comparison to most drugs, as its profile changes from stimulant to sedative/pain killer in increasing dosages and use. (Another drug that behaves similarly is ethanol.)

It creates an artificial illusory high…Pain and discomfort follow when users are without their poison. They then smoke more to relieve the pain caused by not smoking. The nicotine equivalent for alcohol is ethanol.

Ethanol, also called ethyl alcohol, pure alcohol, grain alcohol, or drinking alcohol, is a volatile, flammable, colorless gas.

Think of ammonium it too is a colorless gas.

It is a powerful psychoactive drug, best known as the type of alcohol found in alcoholic beverages and in modern thermometers. Ethanol is one of the oldest drugs.

The fermentation of sugar into ethanol is one of the earliest organic reactions employed by humanity. In modern times, ethanol intended for industrial use is also produced from by-products of petroleum refining

Ethanol has widespread use as a solvent of substances intended for human contact or consumption, including scents, flavorings, colorings, and medicines.

It is important to note that Nicotine is STILL used as a medicine today:

Recent studies have indicated that nicotine can be used to help adults suffering from autosomal dominant nocturnal frontal lobe epilepsy. The same areas that cause seizures in that form of epilepsy are responsible for processing nicotine in the brain.

I will conclude by revisiting Vitamin C. I could not find any description as to how this was extricated from fruits and vegetables and converted into vital ammonium. But I did find out who is manufacturing this vitamin.

World production of synthesised vitamin C is currently estimated at approximately 110,000 tonnes annually. Main producers have been BASF/Takeda, DSM, Merck and the China Pharmaceutical Group Ltd. of the People's Republic of China. China is slowly becoming the major world supplier as its prices undercut those of the US and European manufacturers. By 2008 only the DSM plant in Scotland remained operational outside the strong price competition from China. The world price of vitamin C rose sharply in 2008 in anticipation of a stoppage of the two Chinese plants, situated at Shijiazhuang near Beijing, as part of a general shutdown of polluting industry in China over the period of the Olympic games.

The main manufacturing plants of vitamin C had to be shut down temporarily so the ammonium/colorless gas producers did not poison the foreign visitors when the International Olympic Games arrived in China. BASF is a chemical company. Pretty amazing- 110 billion pounds of poison and waste for the sake of making “medicine.” It is truly amazing that some of the very worst corporate polluters are drug manufacturers. I ask you to consider whether that makes any sense? I will leave you with some of the environmental problems caused by just a few of the largest pharmaceutical companies:

Merck & Co. used methylene chloride which is an animal carcinogen and is on the Federal Environmental Protection Agency's list of pollutants. Merck has also changed its equipment to protect the environment. In 1991, Kelco, owned by Merck, was responsible for 1/3 of the VOC emission pollution in the San Diego area. The ground level ozone was causing health problems such as lung tissue damage and making the lungs easily vulnerable to harmful bacteria. In 1996 Merck paid 1.8 million dollars in a settlement that accused them of polluting the air. In addition, new machines were installed to cut the air pollution that the company's facilities were giving off. The new machines reduce the smog level emissions by 680,000 lb (310,000 kg) a year

Pfizer created AIDS at Stanford University. The disease is called a Plasma-you might want to turn off your TV:

In 1962, under the cover of cancer research, the United States charts a path to commit premeditated murder, the “Special Virus” program begins on February 12th. Dr. Len Hayflick sets up a U.S. mycoplasma laboratory at Stanford University. Many believe the “Special Virus” program began in November 1961 with a Pfizer contract.

If you would like to see the documentation of the development of AIDS and cancer you can review the following link:

www.deepspace4.com/pages/diseases/pagesdisease/aidsflowchart.htm

Pfizer is currently working on the development of a new AIDS virus judging by the lawsuit that one of their poisoned lab “technicians” recently filed:

A scientist claims she was infected by a genetically modified virus while working for Pfizer. In her federal lawsuit she says she has been intermittantly paralyzed by the Pfizer designed virus. "McClain, of Deep River, suspects she was inadvertently exposed, through work by a former Pfizer colleague in 2002 or 2003, to an engineered form of the lentivirus, a virus similar to the one that can lead to acquired immune deficiency syndrome, or AIDS.

Pfizer is also responsible for asbestos poisoning:

Pfizer acquired Quigley in 1968, and the division sold asbestos-containing insulation products until the early 1970s. Asbestos victims and Pfizer have been negotiating a settlement deal which calls for Pfizer to pay $430 million to 80 percent of existing plaintiffs. It will also place an additional $535 million into an asbestos settlement trust that will compensate future plaintiffs as well as the remaining 20 percent of current plaintiffs with claims against Pfizer and Quigley. The compensation deal is worth $965 million all up. Of that $535 million, $405 million is in a 40-year note from Pfizer, while $100 million will come from insurance policies

Environmental Record

According to the EPA, Pfizer is among the top ten companies in America with the most numerous emissions sources. A landfill and two wastewater lagoons in Ledyard, CT near the Pfizer plant in Groton, Connecticut, are a source of groundwater pollution in the area. According to the Connecticut Department of Environmental Protection (CT DEP), the Pfizer site is active under the CT DEP Site Remediation program. In June 2002, a chemical explosion at the Groton plant injured seven people and caused the evacuation of over 100 homes in the surrounding area

Monsanto is the last drug company for your review. If you are having trouble sleeping after reading all of this…Monsanto makes Ambien. They are a diverse organization-wall street would call them horizontally integrated (or is it vertically?).

The 1940s saw Monsanto become a leading manufacturer of plastics, including polystyrene, and synthetic fibers. Since then, it has remained one of the top 10 US chemical companies. Other major products have included the herbicides 2,4,5-T, DDT, and Agent Orange used primarily during the Vietnam War as a defoliant agent (later proven to be highly carcinogenic to any who come into contact with the solution), the artificial sweetener aspartame (NutraSweet), bovine somatotropin (bovine growth hormone (BST)), and PCBs[3]. Also in this decade, Monsanto operated the Dayton Project, and later Mound Laboratories in Miamisburg, Ohio, for the Manhattan Project, the development of the first nuclear weapons and, after 1947, the Atomic Energy Commission.

According to an anonymous 2001 document obtained by the Center for Public Integrity, Monsanto has been identified by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency as being a "potentially responsible party" for 56 contaminated sites (Superfund sites) in the United States. Monsanto has been sued, and has settled, multiple times for damaging the health of its employees or residents near its Superfund sites through pollution and poisoning.
