Intravenous Vitamin C Cure Story Censored by Corporate & Alternative Media

by fightbigpharma Thursday, Apr. 20, 2006 at 4:05 AM

Recent revelations show that intravenous vitamin C can achieve blood concentrations capable of killing cancer cells. However this is not picked up by the media because pharmaceutical advertising is the primary source of income for television and newspapers.

Vitamin C Cancer Story Ignored By News Press

Knowledge of Health Blog, March 30, 2006

Its two days since the Canadian Medical Association Journal reported on three cases of prolonged remission from cancer after intravenous vitamin C therapy. The report is being given the cold shoulder. Its not being covered by the New York Times, WebMD, CNN, FoxNews, USA Today, nor by ABC, CBS or NBC News. In fact, its odd that such an important report would be published in a more obscure medical journal. In April of 2004 the Annals of Internal Medicine reported that intravenous vitamin C can achieve blood concentrations capable of killing cancer cells. This report was also ignored by the news media. When this reporter contacted Quackwatchs Dr. Stephen Barrett, to inquire if QW would consider removal of Dr. Linus Paulings name from its health quackery list, Dr. Barrett said he had no intention of doing so despite the growing body of evidence that now vindicates Dr. Linus Paulings work. Copyright 2006 Bill Sardi, Knowledge of Health, Inc.

So many are frustrated. It is becoming clear, in regards to health information, that pharmaceutical manufacturers hold a grip over the public by controlling government agencies and the news media. An example is the recent report that intravenous vitamin C may cure cancer. That report was relegated to an obscure medical journal and went unreported by major news outlets (New York Times, USA Today, CNN, FoxNews, ABC, NBC, CBS, WebMD) which better than 75% of the public rely upon for up to date health information.

A recent report in the Columbia Journalism Review of the news medias complicity in drug marketing notes that noted medical journalists chose not to warn the American public of the potential dangers posed by Vioxx because pharmaceutical advertising is now a primary source of income for television and newspapers.

What PHARMA has to hide

by AZT = death sentence for many Friday, Apr. 21, 2006 at 2:56 AM

What do the pharmaceutical corporations have to hide? Why would the info about Vitamin C be such a threat if the good folks at Big Pharma really want to help and heal people who are sick? Pharma corps wouldn't have any hidden agendas, now would they?

"AZT: A Medicine from Hell

Anthony Brink

arbrink@iafrica.com

The more ignorant, reckless and thoughtless a doctor is, the higher his reputation soars, even amongst powerful princes.

Desiderius Erasmus (c. 1466-1536), Dutch humanist.

Praise of Folly, ch. 33 (1509).

National Health Minister Nkosazana Zuma has been condemned by just about everyone recently for her heartless decision not to make a drug called AZT available at state expense to HIV-positive pregnant women. It reduces the risk, so it’s said, of the transmission of HIV from mother to child. Politicians and journalists from left to right have joined moist-eyed, hand-wringing doctors pleading for the free provision of AZT to these women, their babies cruelly deprived and doomed to die, they say.

In all the fuss about the minister’s decision on AZT, no-one seems to have stopped to ask, "So what the hell is this stuff anyway?"

In 1964, a chemist, Jerome Horwitz, synthesized a sophisticated cell poison for the treatment for leukaemia*. He called it Compound S. Its formal title is 3’-Azido-3’-deoxythymidine, or Azidothymidine for short, but everyone knows it by its nickname, AZT.

It works like this. Thymidine is one of the four nucleotides (building blocks) of DNA, the basic molecule of life. AZT is an artificial fake, a dead ringer for thymidine. As a cell synthesizes new DNA while preparing to divide in order to spawn another, AZT either steals in to take the place of the real thing, or else disrupts the delicate process by interfering with the cell’s regulation of the relative concentrations of nucleotide pools present during DNA synthesis. That’s the end of the cell line. Cell division and replication, wrecked by the presence of the plastic imposter, comes to a halt. Chemotherapeutic drugs such as AZT are described as DNA chain terminators accordingly. Their effect is wholesale cell death of every type, particularly the rapidly dividing cells of the immune system and those lining our guts. Horwitz found that the sick immune cells went, but with so many others that his poison was plainly useless as a medicine. It was akin to napalm-bombing a school to kill some roof-rats. AZT was abandoned. It wasn’t even patented. For two decades it collected dust forgotten - until the advent of the AIDS era.

In Europe and the US, HIV-positive ‘long term survivors’ quietly gather to form groups, having sloughed off the terror of the death sentences passed on them by their doctors. Here’s the strangest thing. Without exception, what they find they all have in common is that they all eschewed (or quickly gave up) AZT, related nucleoside analogues like 3TC, and protease inhibitors. Some have pondered the unthinkable: that nearly all medically managed AIDS cases, always terminal, represent that balefully familiar phenomenon in the history of medicine, iatrogenicide - to be killed by the cure. Their reasoning looks less obscure when one reads the AZT package insert. To do so might tempt one to wonder impertinently whether AZT wasn’t AIDS by prescription. Indeed, such perverse conjecture is actually confirmed in capitals: AZT use "MAY BE ASSOCIATED WITH HEMATOLOGIC TOXICITY INCLUDING GRANULOCYTOPENIA AND SEVERE ANEMIA" (destruction of white and red blood cells respectively), and "PROLONGED USE OF RETROVIR HAS BEEN ASSOCIATED WITH SYMPTOMATIC MYOPATHY (gross atrophy of muscle tissue) SIMILAR TO THAT PRODUCED BY HUMAN IMMUNODEFICIENCY VIRUS". As to the latter alibi, history will judge whether the thousands of healthy HIV-positive people who embarked on their metabolic poison treatment and wasted away (as the AZT insert predicted) would have died had they ignored doctor’s orders and thrown their pills away. Here the syphilis story is instructive.

Before the introduction of mercury and arsenic salts as a treatment for this clap, the organic brain damage and dementia that signaled ‘tertiary-‘ or ‘neuro-syphilis’ was quite unknown to medicine, and then disappeared when penicillin replaced the older decoctions. The moral is hard to miss. "

What are some recent findings about the effects of nutrition on the human immune system. Let's see what Dr. Rath has to say;

"On September 12, 2005 the world?s leading research institution, the US National Institutes of Health (NIH) finally had to admit that the decades-long promotion of cancer chemotherapy by the pharmaceutical industry was all part of an organized fraud. The NIH announced to the world: "Vitamin C can kill selectively cancer cells" - without any side effects. The publication of this study by this renowned research institution was no coincidence. It happened under scientific pressure from cancer research at the Dr. Rath Research Institute, one of the world's leading research institutes in natural health. Dr. Rath's research team, under the leadership of Dr. Aleksandra Niedzwiecki, had already published close to two dozen studies in leading scientific journals - all of them confirming that vitamins and micronutrients effectively block the spread of cancer cells. The fact that vitamins are the answer to the cancer epidemic will inevitably destroy the hundred billion dollar market for toxic and deadly 'chemo' drugs built up over decades by pharmaceutical multinationals.

After the breakthroughs in heart disease, cancer was the second major disease where scientific progress in vitamin research and natural health science has claimed victory against the fraudulent pharmaceutical business with ineffective, expensive and highly toxic pharmaceutical drugs. Now, the AIDS epidemic will be the next victory!

AFRICA HAS BECOME THE DUMPING GROUND FOR TOXIC AIDS DRUGS

Realizing that they are about to lose their multibillion dollar investments in cancer and heart disease drugs the pharmaceutical 'business with disease' has turned its attention to the AIDS market and the developing world.

The drug manufacturers and their agents have banked on South Africa and the rest of the continent being largely ignorant about the fraudulent nature of the pharmaceutical business. Over the past decades the pharmaceutical multinationals - the drug cartel - has turned South Africa and the entire African continent into a dumping ground for their toxic ARV drugs. AZT and other ARV drugs are 'chemo' drugs that are being used on AIDS victims because the 'chemo' market with cancer is about to collapse globally.

Some of these ARVs, like Boehringer's Viramune (nevirapine) have proven to be so toxic that they harm and kill people and are not allowed to be given to mothers nd their babies in other countries - not even in Boehringer's home country Germany.The people of Africa truly have been abused by the drug multinationals as experimental 'guinea pigs'. But this time is over now!"

Of course Dr. Rath has fallen victim to character assassination, with the website "quackwatch" calling him, of all things, a "quack." Never mind Dr. Rath also advocates an end to nuclear weapons stockpiling by ALL nations (including US!). Guess he believes that nuclear war would somehow be bad for people. My goodness, is Dr. Rath a hippie quack freak or what! What's the world coming to?

For the sake of entertainment, here's the site where Stephen Barrett, MD (guess nobody callin' him a quack, eh?) accusses Dr. Rath of being a "quack";

http://www.quackwatch.org/11Ind/rath.html

Barrett states;
"The Swiss Study Group for Complementary and Alternative Methods in Cancer (SKAK) and the Swiss Cancer League (SCL) is warning against the theories and products of Matthias Rath, M.D."

Guess there's no way either of these formidable sounding groups recieve even a single PENNY from the Pharma cartel, eh?

Barrett states;
"In 2005, the Advertising Standards Authority of South Africa ordered the Dr. Rath Foundation Africa to stop advertising that dietary supplements are safer and more effective than chemotherapy against HIV infections. The challenged ad, published in the November 26, 2004 Mail & Guardian, was headlined "Why should South Africans continue to be poisoned with AZT? THERE’S A NATURAL ANSWER TO AIDS.” The objectionable claims included:

AZT has been found to cause children in utero to develop brain damage, neurological disorders, dparalysis, mental retardation, epilepsy, other serious diseases, and early death.

Daily doses of multivitamins slow down HIV disease and cut the risk of developing AIDS in half.

Non-patentable natural therapies have very low profit margins.

Every textbook of biochemistry recoignizes that vitamins and other micronutrients are the most decisive factor determining optimum function of the immune system [5]."

Dr. Stephen Barrett, are you telling people that these claims above are all false? Are you calling Dr. Rath a liar? You are being reminded that your credibility as a physician is subject to scrutiny also..
