A New Approach To Creating Peace, Health And Happiness This Season.
This Halloween You Should Be Terrified… Not from Ghosts and Witches, but from The Poison Called SUGAR and CANDY!!!
By: Badr Bakry
Each year Americans consume enough Candy Corn that, if laid end-to-end, would circle the earth 4.25 times! Despite the bad economy and the increasing health problems nearly $2 Billion in candy sales expected this year, and another $2 Billion on costumes! Even worse, despite the fact that one in three children or teens are overweight or obese, sales of health-harming, mostly empty-calorie sugary “treats” in 2009 are up by 6.8% over last year.
Here is the ingredients of this $2 Billion candy: sugar, corn syrup, salt, confectioner’s glze, gelatin, dextrose, artificial colors (titanium dioxide, Yellow 6, Yellow 5, Red 3, Blue 1) and artificial flavor. This refined sugar has absolutely no nutritional value whatsoever. Not only does it completely lack nutritional value, it also robs the body of enzymes, minerals and vitamins, especially B-vitamins. Symptoms of B-vitamin deficiency include: fatigue, depression, anxiety, inability to concentrate, poor memory, insomnia and irregular heart beat.
What candy (which is sugar) can do to you and to your kids:
Sugar is one of the most dangerous habits and addictions in our lives today. It is a proven fact that sugar increases insulin levels, which can lead to high blood pressure, high cholesterol, heart disease, diabetes, premature aging, obesity, tooth and gum decay, stomach problems, mental disturbances and many other physical and mental problems.
Sugar use also creates blood sugar imbalances in the body. When blood sugar drops too low after eating a high-sugar food, the fuel supply to the body is impaired, with adverse effects on mental function, physical energy and emotional stability. Symptoms of hypoglycemia (low blood sugar) can range anywhere from headaches, irritability and shaking when hungry to explosive anger, panic attacks, or crying easily for no apparent reason. Sugar can affect the quality of your life and your health dramatically. Many studies have shown that sugar is very effective in weakening the immune system and is a source of fuel for feeding cancer and tumors.
The concern is not only about kids, according to the National Confectioners Association, “40 percent of American adults admit to stashing a few pieces of candy from the trick-or-treat bowl, and the candy association also found that:
Protect yourself and your kids from this POISON!

Our culture has allowed the health care industry to become so powerful and disproportionately lucrative that it is now in the business of illness rather than health. In one disconcerting example, a cancer physician, returning from an extended vacation, found an empty waiting room. His colleague had been treating his patients nutritionally. The physician wailed, “This is terrible. It took me years to build a long-term, regular patient clientele!” People everywhere are realizing that our doctors receive no reward for health, only for treating illness.
Most medical schools don’t teach disease prevention, proper diet or exercise as a part of health. Objective measures are emphasized – white blood cell counts, blood pressure readings, etc., instead of how the patient feels. Pain is treated as a powerful enemy, its symptoms assaulted with prescription drugs that mask it or drive it underground- a practice that usually means it will resurface later with increased intensity.
The twenty-first century finds many people using more natural, less drug-oriented therapies, sometimes as an alternative to conventional medicine, sometimes in a team approach along with it. As orthodox medicine becomes more invasive, and less in touch with the person who is ill, informed people are becoming more willing to take a measure of responsibility for their own health.
Health is a lifestyle process. It is based in wellness care, instead of just illness treatment. The best news is that natural remedies work – often better than prescription drugs for many health conditions.
Orthodox medicine focuses on crisis intervention and is less successful in treating chronic illness. Many modern medical techniques were developed during war time, for emergency care. However, respected studies show that most illnesses don’t just drop out of the sky and hit us over the head. Arthritis, osteoporosis, lower back pain, high blood pressure, coronary-artery disease and hormone imbalances are related to aging and lifestyle. The emergency measures tend to overkill, and even suppress the body’s own immune response. Mental anxiety is brought on by needless testing, medication, or treatment, and a brusque or rushed doctor. You can literally worry yourself sick when there is nothing seriously wrong.
The human body is a beautifully designed healing system that can meet most problems without outside intervention. Even when outside help is needed, healing is enhanced if the patient can be free of emotional devastation, depression and panic. Emotional trauma impairs immune function and panic constricts blood vessels, putting additional burden on the heart.
Alternative healers recognize that pain is also the body’s way of informing us that we are doing something wrong, not necessarily that something is wrong. Pain can tell us that we are smoking too much, eating too much, or eating the wrong things. It can notify us when there is too much emotional congestion in our lives, or too much daily stress. Pain can be a friend with useful information about our health, so that we can effectively address the cause of the problem.
Not every problem requires costly, major medical attention. Healthy food, regular moderate exercise and restful sleep is still the best medicine for many health conditions. The principle of nature governing health and illness are ageless; they apply equally everywhere at all times. There is no down time with the laws of nature, and they do not play favorites.
We need to be re-educated about our health – to be less intimidated by doctors and disease. I believe that the greatest ally of alternative medicine will be science itself – not the restricted view of science that assumes its basic concepts are complete, but the open-ended science that sets preconceived notions aside. Today’s consumers are not only more aware of alternative health care choices, and more confident in their own healing strength, but also want to do something for themselves to get better. The time has clearly come for a partnership between health care professionals and patients, so that the healing resources from both sides can be optimally employed. No prescription is more valuable than knowledge.

The swine flu vaccines now being prepared for mass injection into infants, children, teens and adults. Many governments and health organizations around the world are waiting for the arrival of this vaccine. But you have many good reason to fear being exposed to this swine flu vaccine more than the swine flu itself.
This vaccine have never been tested and won’t be tested before the injections begin. You are virtually guaranteed that no safety evaluations will be performed prior to the reckless unleashing of this untested vaccine. And making matters worse, your children may be the first guinea pigs in this public vaccine experiment against a previously unseen hybrid of human, bird and pig viruses. They even want to target children who have underlying health problems, the most vulnerable, which means any potential problems with this untested vaccine will have the capacity to do maximum damage.
We need to read and learn from history, In 1976, there was a similar outbreak of swine flu in Fort Dix in New Jersey that killed one US soldier. As everyone panicked in fear of a new flu pandemic, president Gerald Ford ordered mass vaccination. The threat turned out to be exaggerated and the virus never spread from Fort Dix. However, 46 million Americans were vaccinated. This was followed by a spike in reported cases of a neurological disorder called Guillain-Barre Syndrome (GBS) which led to the death of two dozen people. It also caused irreparable damage to the nervous systems of hundreds of people, paralyzing many. Medical doctors called it Guillain-Barre syndrome, instead of called it “Toxic Vaccine Syndrome”.
Today again, people are being manipulated to take the same vaccine, without any safety testing whatsoever. According to The Daily Mail, the British Health Protection Agency sent letters to 600 neurologists on July 29th, warning them to be on the lookout for cases of Guillain- Barre Syndrome once the swine flu vaccine campaign begins. Warning that the swine flu vaccine has been linked to a deadly nerve disease has been sent by the UK Government to senior neurologists in a confidential letter.
The letter from the Health Protection Agency, the official body that oversees public health, was leaked to The Daily Mail, leading to demands to know why the information has not been given to the public before the vaccination of millions of people, including children, begins.
It tells the neurologists that they must be alert for an increase in a brain disorder called Guillain-Barre Syndrome (GBS), which could be triggered by the vaccine. GBS attacks the lining of the nerves, causing paralysis and inability to breathe, and can be fatal.
The letter refers to the use of a similar swine flu vaccine in the United States in 1976 when:
- More people died from the vaccination than from swine flu.
- The vaccine may have increased the risk of contracting GBS by eight times.
- The vaccine was withdrawn after just ten weeks when the link with GBS became clear.
- The U.S. Government was forced to pay out millions of dollars to those affected.
Why the warning was not sent out to the public and to doctors who will be giving the shot?
Concerns have already been raised that the new vaccine has not been sufficiently tested and that the effects, especially on children, are unknown.There are a whole lot of things you’ll never be told by health authorities about the swine flu vaccine. Here, there are 10 things you should know about this vaccine that drug companies probably don’t want you to know, according to the Health Ranger:
1- The vaccine production was “rushed” and the vaccine has never been tested on humans. Do you like to play guinea pig for Big Pharma? If so, line up for your swine flu vaccine this fall…
2- Swine flu vaccines contain dangerous adjuvants that cause an inflammatory response in the body. This is why they are suspected of causing autism and other neurological disorders.
3- The swine flu vaccine could actually increase your risk of death from swine flu by altering (or suppressing) your immune system response. There is zero evidence that even seasonal flu shots offer any meaningful protection for people who take the jabs. Vaccines are the snake oil of modern medicine.
4- Doctors still don’t know why the 1976 swine flu vaccines paralyzed so many people. And that means they really have no clue whether the upcoming vaccine might cause the same devastating side effects. (And they’re not testing it, either…)
5- Even if the swine flu vaccine kills you, the drug companies aren’t responsible. The U.S. government has granted drug companies complete immunity against vaccine product liability. Thanks to that blanket immunity, drug companies have no incentive to make safe vaccines, because they only get paid based on quantity, not safety (zero liability).
6- No swine flu vaccine works as well as vitamin D to protect you from influenza. That’s an inconvenient scientific fact that the U.S. government, the FDA and Big Pharma hope the people never realize.
7- Even if the swine flu vaccine actually works, mathematically speaking if everyone else around you gets the vaccine, you don’t need one! (Because it can’t spread through the population you hang with.) So even if you believe in the vaccine, all you need to do is encourage your friends to go get vaccinated…
8- Drug companies are making billions of dollars from the production of swine flu vaccines. That money comes out of your pocket — even if you don’t get the jab — because it’s all paid by the taxpayers.
9- When people start dying in larger numbers from the swine flu, rest assured that many of them will be the very people who got the swine flu vaccine. Doctors will explain this away with their typical Big Pharma logic: “The number saved is far greater than the number lost.” Of course, the number “saved” is entirely fictional… imaginary… and exists only in their own warped heads.
10- The swine flu vaccine centers that will crop up all over the world in the coming months aren’t completely useless: They will provide an easy way to identify large groups of really stupid people. (Too bad there isn’t some sort of blue dye that we could tag ‘em with for future reference…)
Now, Are You Willing to Let Them Experiment on YOU and Your Children?
It’s imperative that you educate yourself about vaccinations, diseases, vaccine risks, and the public health laws in your state, so you know what you’re up against. You need to find out what your rights and your options are. Call and write your state legislators. Let them know where you stand on these issues.
Also visit www.NVIC.org and learn as much as you can. Review the vast supply of information available on the site and join Barbara Loe Fisher in her urging to take action against the potential threat of mandatory swine flu vaccinations.
Says Fisher:
“As Department of Homeland Security officials are declaring that any disease outbreak is a matter of homeland security; as Department of Defense officials are defining public demonstrations as “low level terrorism; as CDC officials make plans to re-route airplanes to designated airports with quarantine centers to screen all passengers for signs of swine flu.
As fast tracked experimental pandemic flu vaccines are being created to be given to American children first, it is time for all of us – whether we are public health officials addressing what we believe is a true public health emergency or whether we are ordinary citizens simply trying to protect our health and the health of our children – to act in rational and responsible ways.”
These public scare-tactics are designed to make money, not protect your health.
Finally, Healthy people need no swine flu vaccine, nor seasonal flu shot. Swine flu is easily overcome through natural and healthy lifestyle. H1N1 is no match for a healthy, strong immune system that’s largely free from toxic chemicals and is boosted with the intake of whole foods, herbal remedies and quality nutrition.

Excerpt from the book Cleanse Your Life Now
Cleansing is a holistic approach to better health, natural weight management, and increased energy and vitality. It is the first step to healthy and positive lifestyle changes and healing your body. It addresses all aspects of health, and is the process of removing build-ups and accumulated stress and toxins from your body. It also eliminates elements from your body that it was not designed to have, especially heavy metals and toxic chemicals. The process of cleansing benefits your entire system — blood, tissues, everything — and hydrates your body, which promotes healing and increases energy. Toxins can accumulate in many ways. The foods we eat, the environment in which we live and daily emotional stresses, all contribute to stored toxins in our system. Cleansing is a widely used treatment and concept in holistic and alternative medicine. It can be a tool to help relieve symptoms and a preventative defense to increase your overall health, vitality and resistance to disease.
Your body is naturally designed to cleanse itself and eliminates toxins through your organs. It collects and removes toxins from your cells, breaks them down in the liver, and then eliminates them from your body through the colon, lymph, skin, lungs, nose, ears and eyes. Your body does this naturally every day. Every time you cough, sneeze, exhale, sweat, urinate, defecate, have a fever or develop skin problems – these are all signs that your body is trying to eliminate toxins.
Why Do We Need to Cleanse?
We live in a very toxic world and we can’t escape the reality of pollution all over the world, on many levels and in different areas of life. We’re engulfed in toxins of all kinds, both external and internal. There are environmental toxins – chemicals pollutants in our air, water and food; radiation from cell phones, Wi-Fi and microwaves; pesticides and herbicides. There are toxins we ingest: caffeine, sugar, alcohol, fast foods, coffee, soft drinks, drugs, prescription and over-the-counter medications, food additives, chemicals, nicotine, and trans-fat. Our systems get clogged up from all the fast food, junk food, carbohydrates, processed and overcooked foods that offer little to no nutrients at all. The small intestine is unable to fully digest these foods, especially refined carbohydrates. The older indigestible carbohydrates begin to ferment; it creates toxemia, gas and stress throughout the entire digestive tract. In addition, the body cannot keep up with the all the other toxins we have in our lives. It’s forced to store some of these toxins because it’s overloaded by our unhealthy lifestyles and environment. When the body reaches its limit and is unable to keep up with all the built-up poisons, these poisons start to spill over into the blood, causing serious health problems. For most people, their cells never get a break from the poor quality foods they ingest and from over-eating. Before the cells eliminate the residue from one meal, we eat another meal, and more toxins are dumped into our cells. The cell becomes what it cannot eliminate. It is a fact – we are what we eat!
Even children are exposed to lots of fast food and junk food. We start very early by feeding infants processed baby food. Then, more processed foods and junk foods are added little by little, until eventually they are regularly eating hamburgers and french fries, and drinking soda. They grow up with a very unhealthy diet of refined food and sugary snacks. Combined with habits of overeating and late night meals, it all contributes to serious health issues.
Most illness starts in the colon. If you are constipated and don’t eliminate daily, you are in trouble. This is a sign that your colon is packed with years of built-up waste. Any food or substances that your body can’t deal with remain undigested in your colon and will continue to build up. Imagine leaving some food out for a couple of weeks. How would it look and smell? The build-ups in your body are even worse. Most people have years of build-up in their systems. Imagine how that looks and smells. Once you accumulate enough of these toxic build-ups, it becomes problematic to your health and your energy level. You will experience cellular dysfunction and many health challenges that can lead to chronic diseases. Toxins can contribute to heart disease, high blood pressure, diabetes, respiratory illness, kidney disease, liver dysfunction, autoimmune disease, hormonal imbalances, obesity and cancer. Even acne problems and hemorrhoids are signals that the body’s waste is being forced out through the skin, since the colon is backed-up and is not being sufficiently emptied. The United States Centers for Disease Control estimates that more than 80% of all illnesses have environmental and lifestyle causes.
Symptoms of Toxicity
Cleansing and Weight Management
The average person carries 10-15 pounds of accumulated waste in the colon. With the cleansing program, you can release this extra weight within a couple of weeks, and you will feel healthy – not only because you’ve lost weight, but also because you’ve eliminated toxins and potential diseases that were affecting your whole system. Cleansing is a great way to help your body naturally eliminate extra pounds of waste. It’s also an important step towards developing and maintaining a healthy and balanced body. Your body needs this break from assaults to allow it to remove as many impurities from your system as possible. In addition to adding the good food, drinks and nutrients that your body needs, this cleansing process will boost your immune system and help your body cleanse itself, rebuild and rejuvenate. Fifty percent of the immune system is located in or around the digestive system, especially the large intestine. Cleansing is an important step to restore your immune system and protect your body against environmental toxins and illness.
Cleansing is the best gift you can give yourself and is the most important step to obtaining and maintaining good health. Until you cleanse your system and remove the toxins from your body, nutrients will not absorb properly. Digestion will be difficult and can lead to weight gain, constipation, gas problems, bloating, headaches, bad breath, skin problems, allergy symptoms, fatigue, anxiety, depression, irritability, frequent infections, insomnia and low energy. These are all indications that your system is overloaded with toxic build-ups.
The human body has never before been exposed to as much pollution as it is today. Every day, every hour, every moment we are bringing foreign toxic chemicals into our bodies. Our cells do not eliminate all these additional toxins. The body cannot keep up, and the noxious elements are being stored in our cells and tissues.
We are also under a lot more stress today than ever before. Most of us experience many stressful emotions on a daily basis, such as fear, anger, hatred or jealousy. There are wars, economic crises and plenty of negative news. Today, we are facing very tough and challenging problems in many different areas of our lives. People are losing their homes, their businesses, investments, retirement and their jobs. Millions of people are facing bankruptcy or foreclosure, and many companies are going out of business. Fear is in every home today, fear of unemployment, fear of losing the house, the car, the business, the income; it is all over the world. These emotions result in an excess of adrenalin production, which becomes poison to our body. In addition to the food waste and the stressful emotions, there are other toxic substances from modern living that we were not designed to handle. Without additional cleansing, toxins are built up faster than they are eliminated, resulting in continual weight gain, health problems and loss of energy. Cleansing can bring clarity and can help our bodies recover and restore.
The Benefits of Cleansing
Cleansing can also be helpful for anyone suffering from immune system problems, chronic diseases, fatigue syndrome, chemical sensitivity, fibromyalgia and many other conditions, including: obesity, heart disease, allergies, anxiety, mental illness, arthritis, asthma, digestive disorders, chronic infections, depression, diabetes, high cholesterol, headaches and high blood pressure. Cleansing is a great way to assist the transition from an unhealthy diet to a healthy one. Most people also notice improvement in their hair, skin texture and nail growth.

Each cube is a “teaspoon” of sugar.
- 85 percent of all cancers are related to diet, lifestyle and environmental factors.
- Sugar is a cancer-feeder. Eliminating sugar cuts off the important food supply to the cancer cells.
- Depriving cancer cells of sugar can cause them to self-destruct.
- Cancer cells cannot thrive in an oxygenated environment.
- Cancer is a disease of the mind, body, and spirit. Anger and resentment put the body into a stressful and acidic environment. A positive spirit and positive mental attitude will empower your body.
- Create a healthy and happy lifestyle, relax, enjoy life and have a loving and forgiving spirit.
When a person’s immune system is strong, the cancer cells will be destroyed and prevented from multiplying and forming tumors.
