Re:Court can rule anything
for people who are interested in topic and pseudo-prove it is vaccine what causes it, http://chetday.com/autismdiet.htm [chetday.com] this article could help you
Oh, sweet, an anecdotal story! That's SO much better than scientific studies or court ruling based on the testimony of thousands of experts and hundreds of published papers! Thank you so much, you've completely converted me!

Court can rule anything
"Court ruled that water is not chemical"
... I would be no surprised by USA anymore. for people who are interested in topic and pseudo-prove it is vaccine what causes it, http://chetday.com/autismdiet.htm this article could help you (or you may want it to pass it to someone to whom it would help) -
Re:A better idea
I ate vegan (only non-animal products) for a while. I loved how everything was low on fat; it made me feel energetic, and I lost about 5 kilos in the first couple of weeks, and stayed on my lower weight (in case you're wondering: both weights were considered good). However, now that it's dark and gloomy outside, I find I like to eat heavier food, so I'm back on cheese and meat. Still, I wanted to share some of the links I collected while cooking vegan food:
Veganism in a Nutshell -- The Vegetarian Resource Group
PCRM >> Clinical Research >> Diabetes: Can a Vegan Diet Reverse Diabetes?
Vegetarians in Paradise/ Diabetes Diet/Diabetes Prevention
Strict Vegan Diets May Be Dangerous, Especially for Expectant Mothers and Children
My general verdict about vegan cooking is that it's fun, it's healthy as long as you counter the deficiencies you'll develop (mainly vitamin B12), and it's good for the planet and the animals. -
Re:Enough Already
The study determined that the liquid that comes out of the machine is absolutely pure H2O, completely identical to all other water
Trivially false statements like this one are why people don't trust naive corporate apologists who say, "Trust us, it's exactly the same as some other stuff you already eat, but our profit margin is bigger!"
What you are describing is distilled water: "The most toxic commercial beverages that people consume (i.e. cola beverages and other soft drinks) are made from distilled water. Studies have consistently shown that heavy consumers of soft drinks (with or without sugar) spill huge amounts of calcium, magnesium and other trace minerals into the urine. The more mineral loss, the greater the risk for osteoporosis, osteoarthritis, hypothyroidism, coronary artery disease, high blood pressure and a long list of degenerative diseases generally associated with premature aging."
So your example is in fact an excellent one. Of why naive corporate apologists should not be taken at face value when displaying their abject ignorance regarding matters of consumer health. -
Re:How can you trust the FDA?
I don't know about lard... I don't have any facts on lard, but the stuff just seems bad. But butter is actually a health food.
Yep, just goes to show you that a few years of man trying to "chemically" engineer a substitute for nature will not be healthy, and besides, keeping chemical intake down is a good thing.

My doctor actually PRESCRIBED eating more butter when I stopped eating meat. -

Re:Disease Gap...good points... These charities are disinclined to actually "cure" the problem for which they raise money, as they'd be causing their own irrelevancy.
Also, from the information I've read, both breast cancer and aids are non-issues.
A large part of the breast cancer cases in the west stem from a single fasion accessory: the brassiere. Bras (especially the kind with underwires) restrict the flow of lymphatic fluid in the breast. See A Pinch of Cancer: Can Wearing a Bra Kill You?. Also worth noting is the theory that bracing the breasts (with a bra) causes them to sag moreso than they would without the artificial support, the theory being that the tendons wither away when the bra removes the need for them to hold the breast up. Or something like that.Well aware that their findings were "explosive," the Singers sent their survey results to the heads of America's most prestigious cancer organizations and institutes. None responded. Like the cancer business, the bra business is huge. Multiply how many worldwide women buy several $25 bras every year and you end up with a multiple of the $6 billion-a-year US bra business.
Syd Singer says that establishment censorship of the bra-breast cancer connection is killing women. Pointing to the biggest commonality among breast cancer patients, he's emphatic that it's bra-squeezed lymphatics.
Going bra-less for all occasions, Soma began dressing to de-emphasize her breasts. She also began regular breast massage and bicycle riding, vitamin and herbal supplementation, and drinking only purified water.
Two months later, her lump disappeared.
At the first frightening sign of a lump, an angry Syd Singer says, "women should take their bras off before they take their breasts off." Why wait, when you can liberate your lymphatics now.
IF YOU MUST WEAR A BRA:
Push-up and sports bras are out. Choose loose-fitting cotton bras. Make sure you can slip two fingers under the shoulder-straps and side-panels. The higher the side-panels, the more severe the restriction of major lymph nodes. Don't wear this disastrous device to sleep. Take it off at home. Massage your breasts every time you remove your bra. Sing your lymphatics into health -- or at least breathe deeply.
Some cases of breast cancer are unrelated to the undergarment, of course, but this is a big point that gets overlooked.
As for AIDS, the first cases in the U.S. were amongst homosexual drug users. Not exactly the country's healthiest population. To be diagnosed with AIDS in the U.S., someone has to test positive for HIV and have several other diseases too. The alternate theory is that HIV is really just a marker for some other problem, and not the cause of the problem itself - similar to a fever being indicative of having the flu. See this LA Times story on a HIV+ homosexual drug addict who passed on the usual drug therapy (AZT killed more patients than HIV ever did), and is doing just fine 17 years later.
Malnutrition abounds in Africa... They don't do HIV tests in Africa ($), so the deaths from hunger/malnutrition/tuberculosis/etc get re-labeled as "AIDS". Seems to me to be a political thing. Africa would receive a 1000x more benefit from clean water and nutrition campaigns than AIDS drugs. -
Re:Wired article a few years backThere are a variety of ideas around the causes of Autism. Some are genetic, some are environmental. Most likely it is a combination of them.
Autism is a spectrum disorder. That means it has a wide variety of symptoms and conditions. It means that people classified as "autistic" can be anywhere from mildly to sevearly affected. The big thing to keep in mind is that they are not all the same, probably not even similar in some cases. It is a wide variety of conditions captured in one term: Autism. The most common symptom between them is childhood development delays and weakness in language and social development.
There are reports that Autism increased in the 90's due to the use of Mercury in childhood vaccines. The vaccine preservative in question was discontinued in the US a few years ago, but is still in use in other parts of the world.
The combined result is likely something like:
1. Some genetic combinations can cause autistic trates immediately.
2. Some genetic combinations can cause latent autistic tendencies that must be activated by external force, like mild metal contamination (mercury, lead, other heavy metals).
3. Some genetic combinations are not succeptable to autistic trates. However, extreme contamination can still cause developmental damage.How these different traits manifest themselves may depend on both the genetic condition, and the severity of the contamination.

But what does it do to the water. . ?Those from the homeopathic schools of thinking go pale at the idea of consuming microwaved water.
There are some interesting arguments behind that to be certain, but the area which stunned me, (and I'm a confirmed skeptic of microwave products), was that microwave ovens can actually damage food in ways which conventional heating does not. I did some reading, and then realized that, once again, I'd fallen prey to letting the general populace think for me. --I'd bought the corporate/government line without batting an eyelash. "Microwave ovens just cause water molecules to vibrate and thus heat up. Perfectly safe." This is a lie, and the research has been done to back it up.
Essentially. . ,
The frequency of the microwave will affect different molecules in different ways. Water is just one 'tuning'. There are others, and it can cause some atoms to heat up and change their relationships to other atoms in weird ways. When I first started looking at the simple microwave oven with a skeptical eye, I was surprised by what I found. Numerous complex compounds found in various foods, enzymes, vitamins, proteins, etc., are destroyed by microwave heating which otherwise remain intact with conventional heating methods. Some even apparently turn toxic.
http://www.geocities.com/newlibertyvillage/earthst ar/microwaves.htm
http://chetday.com/microwave.html
There are multiple sources on this, but they take a bit of work to dig up. The overwhelming belief that microwave food is safe is the major stumbling block. I didn't even bother looking until I randomly found an article on it last year.

Please turn back
before you hurt yourself.
Every Vegan I've met.. without exception.. ends up with serious intenstinal and food allergy problems.
http://chetday.com/vegetarianarticles.htm
If you want to stand up for morals, do so. But please eat as your body needs to. That includes animal products. Choose them for moral principles if you like (free range eggs, perhaps).
I have come to the conclusion that while you can stand up and walk around and survive without meat, it's *not* good for you. And until I meet people that have passed the "twelve year wall" as vegetarians, or a much shorter span for vegans, and done so in good health, then I have to say the evidence in my own experience is conclusive. We need meat. -
Re:Chicago
Drinking distilled water is a Bad Idea.
It very agressively dissolves minerals in your body. Also, before you drink it it will dissolve CO2 from the air, and end up being (weak) carbonic acid before you drink it.
(It's fine for a detox program, or in the case of illness where you NEED to avoid impurities, but as a regular source of water it's bad). -
Re:Lets emulate Family Guy in real lifeYes. I also work with biochemistry Ph.D.'s.
Well, for heaven's sake, talk to one of them, will you?
Wrong. This says otherwise.
No, it doesn't.
Do you know something scientists at Argonne National Labs don't?
No, but I know something that you don't, apparently the difference between the sentences "Distillation removes both ionic and nonionic organic contaminants" and "Distillation removes all ionic and nonionic organic contaminants." Distillation can remove a large amount of contamination, especially if done repeatedly using industrial equipment. But the fact is that the distilled water you buy at the grocery store has got nothin' on the deionized water used to clean silicon waffers.
I am also curious how you know Calder is a "scientist at Argonne National Labs" and not a high school geometry teacher: (from your link) "NEWTON is an electronic community for Science, Math, and Computer Science K-12 Educators." I just find this funny because you took issue with my citing the site for a furnishing industry earlier.
Now, because I am getting tired of carrying on this stupid debate, here is a bunch of those fancy internet links you love so much:
These people manufacture deionized water. Suppose they wouldn't know anything about it. . .
Microelectronics and Nanotechnology Research Laboratory
Deionized water as a cleaner Question: Why not just use distilled if it has even less ion concentration? Why buy more expensive de-ionized water?
Lytron Fun quote: "Care must be exercised when using DI water. The very lack of ions also makes this coolant unusually corrosive. Called the "universal solvent," DI water is one of the most aggressive solvents known. In fact, to a varying degree, it will dissolve everything to which it is exposed. Therefore, all materials in the cooling loop must be corrosion-resistant."

Early Death Comes from Drinking Distilled Water Very interesting article.
Wikipedia entry Interesting quotes: Even distillation does not completely purify water, because of contaminants with similar boiling points and droplets of unvaporized liquid carried with the steam. However, 99.9% pure water can be obtained by distillation. Reverse osmosis is theoretically the most thorough method of large-scale water purification available, although perfect semi-permable membranes are difficult to create.
Why I say no to distilled water Another interesting article on the health side effects of drinking distilled water.
Why purified water is bad to consume
Note that there is a difference between household water purifiers (both distillers and deionizers) and industrial equipment. The later only run the process once, and the so the water has been distilled/deionized, but that doesn't mean it is deionized.
Now, I'm sure you can find a thousand more sites telling me how distilled water is actually so pure it will sometimes spontaneously develop sentience and how deionized water is not only good for you it can kill cancer and stop

Re:GE corn? Why the fuss?
Best evidence we have is that prior to the agricultural 'revolution', the maximum lifespan was around 70-75 years. The *average* was lower, due to infant mortality, and accident (hunting was a hazardous job). But those folks who managed to get past childhood diseases were actually likely to live to a ripe old age, provided they didn't get eaten by something. Take a look at this article on Dr. Loren Cordain's research on that topic.

AuthorityThere are a whole lot of people out there who simply don't agree with the medical industry of today. Look at Stop Eating and Chet Day and sites like Living and Raw Foods. There are lots of health philosophies that don't match the one that the WHO would condone. That doesn't necessarily make them less acurate, just a different point of view. I think that anything that causes these ides to be taken less seriously is a bad idea. I would have no problem with a
.health domain as long as groups outside the WTO could use them too.
