S: Is for Shaken Baby Syndrome

If I have ever written a column I wish people to read and absorb, it is this one. I saw a film tonight produced by Gary Null called "Vaccination Nation" and to say the least it is eye opening. It is about the mandatory vaccination of children and what it causes and the lies being perpetrated by the drug industry. What is going on can only be termed as medical genocide! Mandated by the government ten vaccines are required to get your child into school. They are Hepatitis B, DTaP, which is the newer form of the DPT, Hib, Polio, MMR-measles, mumps, and rubella, and Varicella-chicken pox. By the time a child reaches six years old they have been inoculated over sixty-one times. Hepatitis B is only spread by sexual contact yet it is the first vaccine and is given right after birth. The important question is what is in the vaccine? I'll tell you, aborted fetal tissue, formaldehyde, aluminum, the disease itself and the worst ingredient mercury. Autism is on the rise. It is at epidemic proportions. This year there will be over five hundred thousand cases and it will cost the American public over 2.3 trillion dollars. Most of these kids were born healthy and after a series of vaccinations developed autism. I spoke to Denise James and her son Jonathan. Jonathan was healthy until age four then he became autistic. I asked Denise how she knew something was wrong? She told me right after a vaccination Jonathan stopped speaking and singing and she knew something was horribly amiss. I asked her if it could of been equated to anything else and she stated "No, nothing". Denise was brave and took matters into her own hands. She gave Jonathan B12 shots, took him off wheat, dairy and sugar and gave him oxygen therapy. She also stopped the vaccinations. The result, her son got better. The saddest part was he knew something was wrong with himself and at the age of four wanted to kill himself. Now he wants to live. The James's story is not isolated, many other parents have also gone though this same nightmare. When these children come down with autism what do the doctors want to do? Put them on ritalin or other psychotropic drugs.

Allen Yurko was accused of giving his baby Shaken Baby Syndrome. He was sentenced to life imprisonment in 2002. His girlfriend now wife Francine was manipulated into harvesting her dead child's body parts even though she never signed papers. Allen was accused of child abuse by the physician who administered his child's vaccination. Right after the vaccination the child went into convulsions and eleven days later the child died. Because the doctor falsely harvested the child's heart the autopsy was invalid. Allen spent till 2004 in prison being treated as the worst kind of criminal, a child killer. Allen Yurko became a light in the darkness and started researching his child's death. What he found was staggering. Six thousand children die of shaken baby syndrome a year, always after a vaccination. This man turned into an Ellen Brockovich and now that he is free still fights for others who are now in his position.

Does the medical community take responsibility? NO! As I was doing research I fell upon this site. http://www.ratbags.com/rsoles/vaxliars/mail.htm
I add it because it makes me ill. When you first look at it you think, hey maybe what I just watched was bias, then you research who did the writing and it is a pharmaceutical company and when you dig deeper it is Merck the company that is mostly responsible.

If you have an industry that wants clients, how do you get the clients. You create mandatory chaos. Vaccinations cause a myriad of symptoms. As I watched this I knew I was one of it's victims. I had ADD, chronic sinus infections, dyslexia, joints that ached, and was constantly fighting something off. The only thing that saved me was my will which is strong. My sister had chronic bronchitis and none of this ran in our family history. My parents were diligent at vaccinating us. To this day I remember hating shot day because I knew I'd be sick for a week after if not more. The drug industry is booming. The medical profession rakes in yearly profits that can by a small country. The CDC and the FDA are corrupt as proven in Michael Moore's film Sicko. When does it end? When do we say enough? When do we stop hiding our guilt over our participation in blindly trusting what can not be trusted. It is a F.A.C.T. that this needs to be brought to our attention. It is a F.A.C.T. that we need to end this insanity!

T: Is for Technology










I was asked by "Real Simple" magazine to become part of an blog called "The Tech 25". If you log onto this website you will see (http://blography.com/technology/) It is a social experiment based on answering questions about what women are experiencing in the world, that as of late was reserved for men. Not only do you have to dig within yourself to answer the questions but you have to really think. I am telling you about this because this site is informative. You will learn how women from San Francisco, North Carolina, Chicago and NY think. We're from various backgrounds, levels of expertise and thought patterns. Most of us when we express our wishes not only ask for ourselves but for humanity as a whole. Right after I got this my PC computer died but thankfully I had just bought a macbook. In the process of this I have had to learn a completely different format as well as writing this column, The Tech 25 and a television screenplay based on Arthur Herzog's "Body Parts". To say that I have been writing no stop is no lie. Since Saturday I have managed a 5 hours a sleep a night. Considering I was just diagnosed with a thyroid that doesn't work and want to sleep all day, this has been no easy fete. I have now become a MAC lover and am dying for an i-phone, The technology is amazing. Now that I've learned how to do a few simple things I am ecstatic. For example spell check. With a MAC it underlines it you click twice and viola it's changed or it gives you suggestions no matter where you are writing. Pictures should stay better with this program and I can take pictures from right in front of me. Think it will be to hard or that you could never change from PC to MAC? Don't worry because MAC has free classes. Yes, you heard me. Everyday. You can also pay $99 and get one on one tutorials every week for a year. They will teach you website development, pod casting, how to edit a film, how to video for u-tube. The list is only as short as what you want to know. For me I will be in class for a year. How cool are these speakers? You can attach them to any MAC and surround a sound is yours. The price isn't bad either. MAC is also friendly, knowledgeable, open 24 hours a day at the 59th street store. Gotta love that! and cares. In a world where business seem to have forgotten who the customer is, its is nice to know their is a company out there that defies the rest and that is a F.A.C.T.

C: Is for continuing care of self.

I wrote about Townhouse Spa back in March. Last night I was at 39 West 56th between 5th and 6th again. Could paradise await me? The answer was yes in the hands of Angel. I already considered this place heaven for its use of Eastern philosophy healing and serene environment. Last night I was beyond tired and in a lot of pain. Angel in ten minuets went right in and loosened up my aching joints and ligaments and re-aliened my energy. The last time I hadn't had a chance to experience their massage therapists. I was so grateful I was now, that for once I was silent. Angel asked if it was ok? The answer Angel, is yes I was in bliss and your touch allowed me to become a human again alive with vitality. I recommend this girl highly because I had four other events I had to attend. On the first floor as you walked in you were greeted by a Tavalon elixir meant to detoxify while energizing your system. To learn more about this soothing tea
log onto www.tavalon.com. Waiters with trays of coconut rice and roasted tomato, Salmon pate and other delectable treats from Sererna Bass Inc circled, while drinks of a green tea liquor called Zen did just that relaxed and mellowed. I did repeat my facial experience with Christina with a aqua-collagen gel by Dr. CI: Labo. This moisturizes your skin while leaving it looking younger, toned and glowing. I have got complements on my skin later that night which was amazing because my skin was so dry prior to Christina's treatment. This is the perfect getaway or gathering place for the coming Christmas Party season. It not only makes a great gift for employee's but also your friends and more importunately yourself. A little pampering makes for a blissful soul. On the bottom floor was Adam, Zuckerman. He was the co-host of this lavish happening. I'm not going to write about him now because he deserves his own column. So look for more about Adam next week.
Still the most interesting portion is the state of the art “Spa Oceana” or “Peace in a Pod”: This space age all-in-one treatment includes a 53-gallon personal hydrobath with over 20 massage jets operating simultaneously with Vichy water. A charka digital LED lighting system will put your soul in alignment while offering a combination of radiant heat and steam finishing with a cooling mist, which can be infused with vitamins, natural essential oils and herbal aromas. This was the one thing I haven’t tried and I am so looking forward to cocooning myself and that is a F.A.C.T.

A: Is for art and politics

Thursday the personal odyssey of Juan Downey's anthropological research will open at the Nohra Haime Gallery located at 41 East 57th Street. Juan Downey is a pioneer video artist. This Chilean died in 1993 but his video work is an eclectic voyage into political discourse, the history of art, ideas, personal discovery and self-reflection. Downey's extensive body of work that included installations, drawings, and paintings lives on. Being the creator of more than 40 works this compelling series of anecdotes tracks his search for an indigenous cultural identity. Downey looks through the viewfinder of his camera and turns to see his Yanomami guides pointing their weapons at him, acknowledging - seriously or playfully? - his camera as a weapon. In his documentation of the tribe's use of natural psychedelic drugs for healing. In pursuit of the last primitive tribe of the Americas, 'The Abandoned Shabono' focuses on the Amazon Rain Forest. The shabono is the circular communal dwelling built by the Yanomami Indians. The exhibition JUAN DOWNEY: MEDITATION DRAWINGS will be on view through December 1.
Yesterday at Gagosian's Gallery an exhibit opened of a collage by more than fifty artists. Many created works specifically for this occasion. Fit to Print exposes the artist's compulsion to react to the media who delivers information on a daily basis. Illuminating the vast extent to which contemporary international artists share an interest in the media while working within the traditional definition of collage. Picasso and Braque were embraced by the Dada movement as a mode of political critique. Disposable pop culture, global politics, the artists in this exhibition acknowledge the legacy of past by utilizing mass media and incorporating it directly into their work. Picasso's ability to unite formal and political concerns on the eve of World War I resonates in today's moment of global turmoil, and is acknowledged at the onset of the exhibition by the inclusion of a single, rare Picasso, Bottle and Glass, autumn-winter 1912. As one of the first examples of collage ever made, Picasso's simple yet radical gesture of incorporating primary physical objects continues to inspire. Collage also embraces the heightened presence the tabloids have inspired. This is a reflection of a society captivated by the media.

Art is influenced by the turmoil around us. By absorbing it's message we gain an insight into our own lives and that is a F.A.C.T.
