Vaccine Injunction
We are calling for an injunction to pause to the vaccine rollout to due to multiple questions we have
1 - Why are so many people suffering adverse events and death after COVID-19 vaccinations?
2 - Why are so many of our fittest sportspeople collapsing and suffering myocarditis, heart attacks and death post-vaccination?
3 - Why have the vaccine manufacturers withheld ingredients? Undisclosed ingredients are illegal and involve the deception of the public
4 - Why have independent scientific reports of Graphene Oxide and other contaminants not been publically investigated?
5 - Why are the batches of the vaccine clearly different? As per VAERS data, 100% of all adverse reactions can be attributed to 5% of the batches. This clearly indicates suspect manufacturing
Would you like to help in the push to pause the rollout?
If so, chose from one of these two petitions

- NOVEMBER 2023 ADVERSE EVENT DATA REPORT FROM UK'S YELLOW CARD
MHRA YELLOW CARD REPORTING SUMMARY UP TO 25th OCT 2023 Fatalities reported up until 25th OCT 2023 894 (Pfizer-mono) 53 (Pfizer-bivalent) 1417 (AZ) 95 (Moderna-mono) 49 (Moderna-bivalent) 88 (Unknown) TOTAL = 2596 (an increase of 16 in 4 weeks) Yellow Card Adverse Event Reports 177,860 (Pfizer-mono) 5777 (Pfizer-bivalent) 248,834 (AZ) 43,075 (Moderna-mono) 5580 (Moderna-bivalent) 111 (Novavax) 2761 (Unknown brand) TOTAL = 483,998 people have made a report (an increase of 1355 in 4 weeks) BASIC STATS Reports classified as SERIOUS* by MHRA = 74.5% of all reports 125,965 (Pfizer-mono) + 4449 (Pfizer-bivalent) + 192,823 (AZ) + 31,178 (Moderna-mono) + 4087 (Moderna-bivalent) + 81 (Novavax) + 1985 (Unknown) = 360,568 Overall 1-in-111 people injected experiences a Yellow Card Adverse Event (assuming one person submits only one report) 1-in-149 people injected experiences an adverse event classified as SERIOUS* The problem with the above stats is that all the official bodies that deal with collecting this data with the UK and USA, admit that only 1-10% of incidents are reported. That means the real numbers could easily be up to 100X greater than the numbers above. How can this be possible? 1 - First of all doctors or patients need to connect the injury to the cause. Bullets are easily attributed to a gun whereas for example, heart attacks and heart failure have many hard-to-pinpoint causes. 2 - Doctors need approx 45 minutes to file a report. A European doctor told me apologetically that she had simply given up filing them as one she had no time, and secondly, at the end of the 45 min process, she often got an error losing all the data meaning she needed to start again.

- BLACK SEED OIL
I've recently come across this video with a voiceover by the brilliant Dr Berg summing up the key benefits of Black Seed Oil. Click play in the subtitled video below. WATCH THE AMAZING DR BERG'S ORIGINAL VIDEO HERE I've divided the article into the following sections What is Black Seed Oil? What is it traditionally used for? Where can I get trusted Black Seed Oil? NOTB Recommended Black Seed Oil Products Health Benefits of Black Seed Oil -studies Cautions and warnings SHOP What is it? Black seed oil is a 100% natural product derived from the plant Nigella sativa, which is native to Eastern Europe and Western Asia (Source). What is it traditionally used for? Black seed oil is a natural remedy that people use to treat a wide range of conditions, including: headaches back pain high blood pressure infections inflammation Numerous studies demonstrated the seed of Nigella sativa and its main active constituent, thymoquinone, to be medicinally very effective against various illnesses: neurological and mental illness, cardiovascular disorders, cancer, diabetes inflammatory conditions, and infertility various infectious diseases due to bacterial, fungal, parasitic, and viral infections. SOURCE See more on the potential healing properties below The Prophet Mohammed had described the curative powers of the black seed as “Hold on to use this black seed, as it has a remedy for every illness except death” Where can I get high-quality Black Seed Oil? You can easily buy it over the counter for under £10 for a small bottle in many Middle Eastern shops. However, as with Olive oil, quality varies dramatically depending on the sourcing and production process. Since we are interested in the full medicinal benefits, we need the very best. A few years ago I had the pleasure of a two-hour chat with Dr Cass Ingram regarding his production of Oregano oil. I learnt that his company North American Herb and Spice go to extraordinary lengths to source the very highest quality ingredients, from precise geographical locations matching 2,000 years of herbal knowledge. They then use advanced cold extraction methods that preserve each constituent. I have tried and tested Dr Ingram's North American Herb and Spice products over the last few years, even using NAHS Oregano oil topically to defeat sepsis. Stunning. Therefore, NAHS is my go-to source for oregano and all other oils of medicinal value, including Black Seed Oil.

Ideal for supporting immune, digestive, and cardiac health. HEALTH BENEFITS OF BLACK SEED OIL - MORE DETAIL Black seed oil has been used to treat a variety of health conditions. As a result, it has sometimes been referred to as “panacea” — or universal healer (Source, Source). High in antioxidants Black seed oil is high in antioxidants — plant compounds that help protect cells against damage caused by unstable molecules called free radicals (Source, Source, Source, Source). Antioxidants reduce inflammation and protect against conditions like heart disease, Alzheimer’s disease, and cancer (Source). Black seed oil is rich in thymoquinone, which has potent antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects. Studies suggest this compound may protect brain health and aid in treating several types of cancer (Source, Source, Source, Source). Asthma Research has shown that black seed oil, and specifically thymoquinone in the oil, may help in treating asthma by reducing inflammation and relaxing muscles in the airway ( Source, Source, Source). One study in 80 adults with asthma found that taking 500 mg of black seed oil capsules twice a day for 4 weeks significantly improved asthma control (Source). Weight loss Research shows that black seed oil may help reduce body mass index (BMI) in individuals with obesity, metabolic syndrome, or type 2 diabetes (Source, Source). In one 8-week study, 90 women ages 25–50 with obesity were given a low calorie diet and either a placebo or 1 gram of black seed oil per meal for a total of 3 grams per day ( Source). At the end of the study, those taking the black seed oil had lost significantly more weight and waist circumference than the placebo group. The oil group also experienced significant improvements in triglyceride and LDL (bad) cholesterol levels (Source). May lower blood sugar levels For individuals with diabetes, consistently high blood sugar levels have been shown to increase the risk of future complications, including kidney disease, eye disease, and stroke (Source). Several studies in individuals with type 2 diabetes indicate that a dose of 2 grams per day of crushed whole black seeds may significantly reduce fasting blood sugar levels and hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) levels, a measure of average blood sugar levels over 2–3 months (Source, Source, Source). While most studies use black seed powder in capsules, black seed oil has also been shown to help lower blood sugar levels (Source). One study in 99 adults with type 2 diabetes found that both 1/3 teaspoon (1.5 mL) and 3/5 teaspoon (3 mL) per day of black seed oil for 20 days significantly reduced HbA1c levels, compared with a placebo (26). May help lower blood pressure and cholesterol levels Black seed oil has also been studied for its potential effectiveness in reducing blood pressure and cholesterol levels. Two studies, one in 90 women with obesity and the other in 72 adults with type 2 diabetes, found that taking 2–3 grams of black seed oil capsules per day for 8–12 weeks significantly reduced LDL (bad) and total cholesterol levels (Source, ). Another study in 90 people with high cholesterol levels observed that consuming 2 teaspoons (10 grams) of black seed oil after eating breakfast for 6 weeks significantly reduced LDL (bad) cholesterol levels (Source). The oil may also help lower blood pressure. One study in 70 healthy adults noted that 1/2 teaspoon (2.5 mL) of black seed oil twice a day for 8 weeks significantly reduced blood pressure levels, compared with a placebo (Source). Brain health Neuroinflammation is inflammation of brain tissue. It’s thought to play an important role in the development of diseases like Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s (Source, Source). Early test-tube and animal research suggests that thymoquinone in black seed oil may reduce neuroinflammation. Therefore, it may help protect against brain disorders like Alzheimer’s or Parkinson’s disease (Source, Source, Source, Source). However, there’s currently very little research on the effectiveness of black seed oil in humans specifically regarding the brain. One study in 40 healthy older adults found significant improvements in measures of memory, attention, and cognition after taking 500 mg of N. sativa capsules twice a day for 9 weeks (Source). Still, more research is needed to confirm black seed oil’s protective effects for brain health. Skin and hair In addition to medical uses, black seed oil is commonly used topically to help with a variety of skin conditions and to hydrate hair. Research suggests that due to its antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory effects, black seed oil may help in treating a few skin conditions, including (Source, Source): acne eczema general dry skin psoriasis Despite claims that the oil can also help hydrate hair and reduce dandruff, no clinical studies support these claims. Anticancer effects. Test-tube studies have shown thymoquinone in black seed oil to help control the growth and spread of several types of cancer cells (39Trusted Source, 40Trusted Source). Reduce symptoms of rheumatoid arthritis. Due to its anti-inflammatory effects, limited research suggests that black seed oil may help reduce joint inflammation in people with rheumatoid arthritis (Source, Source, Source). Male infertility. Limited research suggests that black seed oil may improve semen quality in men diagnosed with infertility This study was conducted on Iranian infertile men with inclusion criteria of abnormal sperm morphology less than 30% or sperm counts below 20×10(6)/ml or type A and B motility less than 25% and 50% respectively. The patients in N. sativa oil group (n=34) received 2.5mlN. sativa oil and placebo group (n=34) received 2.5ml liquid paraffin two times a day orally for 2 months. At baseline and after 2 months, the sperm count, motility and morphology and semen volume, pH and round cells as primary outcomes were determined in both groups. Results showed that sperm count, motility and morphology and semen volume, pH and round cells were improved significantly in N. sativa oil treated group compared with placebo group after 2 months. I t is concluded that daily intake of 5ml N. sativa oil for two months improves abnormal semen quality in infertile men without any adverse effects. (Source, Source). Antifungal. Black seed oil has also been shown to have antifungal activities. In particular, it may protect against Candida albicans, which is a yeast that can lead to candidiasis (Source, Source). Further research is needed While early research shows promise in the applications of black seed oil, more studies in humans are needed to confirm these effects and the optimal dosage. When taking Black Seed Oil orally we advise (particularly if you are already on any form of medication), that you first seek approval from your medical practitioner. Side effects from oral consumption are quite rare, with most reports being easily explained as the user having ignored dosage and strength recommendations before starting out. The most common mistake people tend to make with Black Seed Oil is by taking too much too soon, or by starting out on too strong an oil. This will usually begin to rid toxins from the body far too quickly, and can set off your body’s defence mechanism (which will cause the body to fight against the oil rather than alongside it – usually resulting in vomiting). This is why we insist that you begin with our Original oil on a low dosage, and then build up the dose and strength gradually, until you reach your desired results. Going through the gradual build-up process will help rid toxins from the body at a less detectable rate, and then when detox has been completed it will begin to help strengthen your immune system. Most people will notice increased ‘belching’ after consuming Black Seed Oil, which can continue throughout the day. This is completely normal, and most users tend to find that the belching will gradually fade away after a few days/ weeks of taking the oil. CAUTIONS and WARNINGS Because of the lack of research in this particular area, we do not recommend Black seed oil to be taken by pregnant women, nor for Black Seed Oil to be used while breast-feeding. Oral consumption of our oils is not recommended for children under 5 years old. Children under 12 should take half the adult dosage. We do not under any circumstances recommend substituting any medically prescribed items with Black Seed Oil – unless you have first sought professional medical advice from your GP. Black Seed Oil is commonly used (and known to be very effective) for lowering blood pressure. We therefore advise monitoring your blood pressure closely whilst taking the oil – particularly if you are being administered any other form of blood pressure medication. Black Seed Oil has been known to be very effective at helping to lower blood sugar. Whilst many Diabetics use the oil for this reason, it is important (particularly if you are on any form of blood-sugar medication) that you closely monitor your blood sugar levels. Black Seed Oil is often used to help thin the blood and slow down clotting. If you are taking any other blood-clotting medication we urge you to seek advice from your GP prior to taking Black Seed Oil. Due to the bottling environment of our seeds, oil, and capsules; we must inform you that our products may contain traces of nuts. *It should be noted that as with everything in life – allergic reactions are still possible. If you notice any adverse effects – stop consuming the product immediately and seek professional advice from a GP.

Welcome to 2024 Professional football players having heart attacks mid-match? Airline hostesses dropping dead as planes get ready to take off? Welcome to the new future of life post the C19 vaccine campaigns. Before reading the Sun article below about the airline hostess it's worth listening to this video Not On The Beeb video from 18th June 2021 BA DEATH by THE SUN Tragedy as British Airways steward dies in front of devastated passengers on plane waiting to take off Passengers were rebooked onto another flight - BA31 - the next day. British Airways told The Sun: “Our thoughts are with our colleagues’ family and friends at this difficult time.” A second BA steward, also 52, died in the US on December 23.... Travellers and holidaymakers were in their seats when the incident happened while first aid was administered in vain.... when the crew member suddenly collapsed in the rear galley. The captain urgently called for medical assistance and a passenger trained in first aid raced to help. But despite the arrival of police and ambulance teams, tragically the steward could not be resuscitated and devastated passengers were told the New Year’s Eve flight was being cancelled due to a "medical emergency". A second BA steward, also 52, died in the US on December 23. After his sudden death the flight from Newark to London Heathrow was cancelled, with passengers re-booked onto later flights. Devastated colleagues had raised the alarm when he had failed to report for duty. They were all flown home as passengers – too upset to work. The cabin crew worker had been found dead in his hotel room, passing away during a stopover between flights. A source said: “Crew are frantic. These were two healthy people who suddenly dropped dead. There were no reported underlying health issues. “The crew were family men, and leave devastated families in shock and disbelief. “It has been a traumatic festive period for BA’s flying team. Everyone is deeply upset.” SOURCE THE SUN ARTICLES RELATED TO AIRLINES TO FLY OR NOT TO FLY, THAT IS THE JABBED PILOT'S QUESTION. https://www.notonthebeeb.co.uk/post/to-fly-or-not-to-fly-that-is-the-jabbed-pilots-question It has been noted that since the rollout of the Covid-19 ‘vaccines’, U.S airline pilots have been dying at an alarming and unprecedented rate - in fact, deaths are said to have increased by a whopping 1,750% since 2020.

- SUGARS, FAT OR SUNLIGHT? WHERE DO OUR BODIES GET ENERGY FROM?
What if everything you were told about how the cells of your body get their energy was wrong? What if the body could tap the relatively limitless resources of the Sun directly? Even more astounding, what if the body could tap the infinite energy density of the quantum vacuum and even turn that energy into matter, as well as transform elements into one another? Welcome to the electrifying implications of the New Biophysics. The energy needs of the human body have long been envisioned as dependent upon physical “fuel” being fed to the glucose-burning furnaces within the mitochondria of our cells. Indeed, our fixation on the caloric content of food reflects this outdated and fundamentally inaccurate concept. Calories are simply a measurement of the amount of heat given off when we internally incinerate food, which is a crude metric when we consider the complexity, elegance, and mystery of human metabolism. Our bodies, in addition to utilizing ATP-based mechanisms of energy transfer, are capable of harnessing “free” energy directly from the sun through a variety of means, including water-, melanin-, and chlorophyll-mediated processes. No doubt, there are many other energy-generating processes at play yet to be discovered. But while examples of alternative energy sources based on EZ water or melanin may seem like a radical departure from conventional theories of cellular bioenergetics, they actually still aren’t radical enough to account for what is really going on. The truth is that our bodies can access, accumulate, and put to work immense quantities of free energy, or energy that does not need to be extracted from physical substances such as food. The body has an even more direct, limitless source of energy that it can, and does, continually access—one that may finally explain accounts of humans living without food or water for prolonged periods of time. Recent experiments reveal that, despite long-standing assumptions that cytosol, the aqueous part of a cell’s cytoplasm, has zero electric fields, it actually contains an electric field strength as high as 15 million volts per meter. (48) (For comparison, high-voltage power lines typically operate at 155,000 to 765,000 volts per meter.) Even more astounding is the fact that the inner membrane of a single mitochondrion has an electric field strength of 30 million volts, (49) which is comparable to the electrical field generated by the flares coming off the surface of the sun or a thunderbolt. But where does this immense energy come from? In order to answer this question, we’ll have to explore some of the most foundational discoveries of quantum physics. After all, all our bodies’ molecules are composed of atoms, whose fundamental structure lies at the sub-sub-sub-atomic level of the quantum of action, which means understanding human physiology and cellular bioenergetics will require at least a basic understanding of quantum physics. In the New Biophysics, space is described as the quantum vacuum, unlike its more passive precursor of classical physics, where it is visualized as an empty and invisible container for physical things. The quantum vacuum is not a void but is instead teeming with zero-point energy, that is, the vibrational energy at baseline or ground state that remains present even when the system being observed from a classical perspective is at absolute zero and appears completely empty and motionless. In quantum field theory, estimates of the vacuum energy density within “empty space” range from infinity to the mass density of about 1096 kilograms per cubic meter (that’s a 10 with 96 zeros behind it!), which in practical terms is infinite. This is the reason American physicist Richard Feynman remarked that “one teacup of empty space contains enough energy to boil all the world’s oceans.” Similarly, Swiss physicist Nassim Haramein predicts that the zero-point vacuum energy contained within the volume of a single proton is equal to the mass of all protons in the observable universe. Within this understanding of empty space, matter (in the form of virtual particles) is constantly popping in and out of existence within the quantum vacuum, similar to a foam coalescing and disappearing at the bottom of an immense waterfall of energy. The New Biophysics of Energy Synthesis The version of reality described by quantum field theory physics seemingly violates basic laws of thermodynamics, with its conservation of energy and matter, and completely contradicts the classic Newtonian, macroscopic experience of space and objects within which we live. Yet it is the best explanation for how forces and particles behave, with a wide range of modern technologies like laser systems, MRIs, and semiconductor devices owing their existence to it. So, how does this relate to the New Biology? If quantum field theory is accurate, and a practically infinite source of energy is available to biological systems at any point in space, everything we have learned about how the cell works and what our bodies need to survive would need to be revised. Indeed, an entirely new field called quantum biology has sprung up in order to understand how these discoveries at the level of the quantum of action affect biological systems, from the most basic molecular building blocks of the cell all the way up to human physiology and the origin and nature of consciousness itself. A concrete example of a biological system that harnesses energy from the quantum vacuum can be found in the wall-crawling gecko lizard, which can hang from ceilings and scale smooth surfaces like glass, seemingly boldly defying basic physical laws of gravity. In quantum physics, there is a phenomenon known as the Casimir effect. (50) By placing two uncharged metallic plates extremely close together (a few micrometers apart), without any external electromagnetic field present, the quantum vacuum energy draws the plates together from the wide range of electromagnetic frequencies in the energy density of the vacuum of space. The longer wavelengths are excluded from within the small opening between the plates, hence pushing the plates together from the outside in, proving the vacuum is full of “real” energy and can affect the objects in “real space.” The gecko, it turns out, has extremely small Casimir-like plate structures at the end of its bulbous feet in the form of millions of microscopic hairs. When applied to a flat surface, these hairs harness the Casimir effect to help keep the gecko stuck to the wall. While there are other proposed contributing factors, such as electrostatic effects, the Casimir effect is believed to be a primary cause. Using engineering principles of biomimicry, researchers at Stanford have harnessed the Casimir effect to create a “Spider-Man” suit that allows humans to crawl up buildings. (51 ) The suit’s “gecko gloves,” capable of forming a strong bond with smooth surfaces and distributing large loads like the weight of the human body evenly, comprise a pad of independent tiles with progressive and degressive load-sharing elements, covered in synthetic adhesives that contain sawtooth-shaped polymer structures approximately the width of a human hair. (52) So promising is this technology that applications of these pads are being explored on the robotic arms of spacecrafts in NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory. The unusual, quantum-mechanical origin of the gecko’s superpower even makes sense from a conventionally minded evolutionary perspective. Should we really be surprised that after billions of years of trial and error, where even the slightest advantage has life-and-death consequences, living things would eschew a quantum-free lunch? Indeed, the Casimir effect and other zero-point energy–harnessing processes are operative at the most fundamental building blocks of our biological architecture. Biological Zero-Point Energy Of all the areas of exploration at the interface between quantum physics and biology, most relevant to our body’s ability to sustain and regenerate itself even when up against incredible forces of adversity and scarcity is an understanding of where the body gets its energy. Zero-point energy–harvesting processes within the human body are believed to be concentrated most intensely where conventional thinking on the matter expects them to be: within our cells’ mitochondria. The primary reason why eukaryotes (plants, fungi, animals) are so complex versus single-celled organisms is because of the exceptional bioenergetics afforded to them through the endosymbiotic event estimated to have occurred about 1.8 billion years ago that created our mitochondria. Since protein synthesis uses about 75 percent of the cell’s energy and mitochondria provide eukaryotes with 200,000 times more energy than a prokaryotic cell, they are able to support a genome that is 200,000 times larger.53 This has afforded eukaryotes their immense evolutionary diversity and complexity relative to the simpler prokaryotes. According to Douglas Wallace, Ph.D., one of the world’s preeminent researchers in the biology of mitochondria, each mitochondrion stores energy within an electrical field with 180 millivolts of potential energy. There are 1017 mitochondria in your body (100 quadrillion).54 Taken together, that sums up to about the potential energy of a lightning bolt stored in each human body! While the discovery that your body has a lightning bolt of electrical potential within the totality of its mitochondria is amazing, it turns out that each mitochondrion within each cell of your body has a magnetic field strength of 30 million volts per meter. That electrical potential equates to as much energy as is found in a lightning bolt in each mitochondrion. With up to 5,000 mitochondria per heart muscle cell, an even greater density of 100,000–600,000 mitochondria per oocyte (mature egg cell), and trillions of cells in the human body, there’s a near-infinite amount of potential energy available to the cells of your body at any given moment, which is inconceivably vast in contrast to the conventional explanation for the origin of cell energy. If there is enough energy in a teacup of empty space to convert all the world’s oceans to steam, it doesn’t seem so outrageous that the mitochondria within our bodies are capable of harnessing trillions upon trillions of volts of potential energy from the quantum vacuum, transforming it into matter and transmuting elements. If such is the case, the entire framework of present-day biology, including the conventional body of knowledge concerning human physiology and nutrition, stands to be revised. As we dive deeper into the implications of the New Biology, we will find that conventionally accepted truths about human physiology are still a Wild West of assumptions and myths yet to be fully examined and explored. Biotransformation of Elements If the invisible space within and all around us is not nothing but a very energetically and informationally packed something, constantly giving rise to other somethings (e.g., virtual particles and antiparticles), should we be surprised if biological systems are capable of similar transformative and de novo feats of creativity? Consider as an example how widespread the belief in a cosmological big bang is, with hundreds of millions of adherents worldwide. The unequivocal faith in the big bang as the process that manifested the universe into material existence is basically the belief that out of nothing you can have a very big something. Yet conventional scientific thinking forbids this kind of radical creativity exist anywhere else, and certainly not within biological systems. Regardless of immense resistance to this idea, the medieval precursor to modern chemistry, alchemy, with its long-sought-after transformation of baser elements like lead into gold, represented more than merely dabbling in metaphor and indulging in magical thinking. In retrospect, we, in the postnuclear age, are intimately familiar with powerful exceptions to the strict laws of conservation of energy and mass through technologies like particle accelerators and the phenomenon of radioactive decay—two instances where elements can and do change into one another. Physicists even managed to synthesize gold from mercury in a nuclear reactor back in 1941,55 albeit in infinitesimal quantities and as a radioactive isotope. Conventional thinking would have us believe that these exceptions only occur when exceptionally high pressures and temperatures are involved and not in the relatively cold, wet “reactors” of living things such as human cells. Yet the body is indeed capable of transmuting the elements of calcium, magnesium, potassium, copper, and iron into one another, nonradioactively, at our body’s normal temperature ranges, a phenomenon that has been studied by scientists for over 200 years. It was the celebrated French chemist Nicolas-Louis Vauquelin (1763–1829) who first discovered the phenomenon of biotransformation when he observed that chickens produce far more calcium in their eggshells than they ingested, leading him to write: “Having calculated all the lime in oats fed to a hen, found still more in the shells of its eggs. Therefore, there is a creation of matter. In that way, no one knows.”56 This finding violated the dictum of Vauquelin’s contemporary, Antoine-Laurent Lavoisier (1743–1794), the “father of modern chemistry,” who posited that while the combination of elements could be changed, elements themselves were unchanging, and therefore nothing was created. Henceforward, Vauquelin’s findings would be mostly ignored. Despite that, other scientists would follow who confirmed Vauqelin’s discovery: William Prout (1785–1850): Studied incubating chickens and found that hatched chicks had more lime (calcium) in their bodies than originally present in the egg, which was not contributed from the shell. Albrecht von Herzeele (1821–?): In 1873 von Herzeele published The Origin of Inorganic Substances, in which he presented research proving that plants continuously transmute material elements into one another. Vogel (?–?): In 1844, Vogel studied watercress seeds and found that after germinating and growing them with distilled water, the resulting plants contained more sulfur than was present in the seeds.57 John Bennet Lawes (1814–1900) and Joseph Henry Gilbert (1817–1901): During 1856 to 1873, these two British scientists found plants “extracted” more elements from the soil than the soil itself contained.58 Henri Spindler (?–?): During 1946 and 1947, Spindler discovered that two species of Laminaria, a marine algae, created iodine. Rudolf Hauschka (1891–1969): In experiments conducted between 1934 and 1940, Hauschka discovered that weighed cress seeds, sealed in glass containers, increased in weight during the full moon and decreased in weight during the new moon. Pierre Baranger (1900–1970): In thousands of experiments conducted between 1950 and 1970, Baranger saw the transmutation of various elements when comparing seeds before and after germination. Despite these early examples, it was not until the 1960s that the French researcher C. Louis Kervran, who also held an academic position as a member of the New York Academy of Sciences, brought mainstream attention to the phenomenon. Not only was he the first scientist to do so in the postnuclear era, but he was also nominated in 1975 for a Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine for his compelling body of research on biotransmutation. Kervran’s meticulous observations from the experiments he conducted showed conclusively that living organisms transform elements into one another. Several famous examples include his observations in 1959 of Sahara oilfield workers who worked intensely under extreme temperatures (over 130°F) and excreted a very high percentage of potassium after taking sodium-containing salt tablets. Kervran concluded that the sodium was converted into potassium in an endothermic reaction that brought down the workers’ temperatures. Another famous observation he made is that hens in France’s northwesternmost region, Brittany, where the soil is notoriously low in calcium, lay perfectly normal calcium-replete eggs daily. He discovered the hens consumed potassium-rich mica from the soil, which they then converted into calcium. Kervran would later do extensive experiments with seeds, which substantiated his finding that biotransmutation of elements is constantly occurring. But while his work and observations were truly groundbreaking, upsetting the prevailing dogmas of chemistry and physics, he was not able to provide an explanation for how these bionuclear reactions were being facilitated at the atomic level. Nor was he able to prove the phenomenon’s occurrence within quantitatively controlled conditions, such as in the context of a single-cell experiment. That empirical evidence and physical explanation would come with the work of a Ukrainian scientist, Vladimir Vysotskii, who started working on biological transmutations in the 1990s. Vysotskii was the first to show that specific strains of bacteria, such as Bacillus subtilis GSY 228, Escherichia coli K-1, and Deinococcus radiodurans M-1, and a strain of yeast known as Saccharomyces cerevisiae T8, are able to transmute metals (such as manganese into iron) and accelerate the decay of the radioisotope radioactive cesium (Cs-137), which has a half-life of 30 years, transforming it into a form of barium (Ba-138), with a half-life of only 310 days. In 2015, Japanese researcher Hideo Kozima reexamined data from Vysotskii’s experiments and provided a unified explanation, called the Trapped Neutron Cold Fusion (TNCF) model, of both the cold fusion and biotransmutation phenomena.59 Vysotskii’s findings are detailed in his book Nuclear Transmutation of Stable and Radioactive Isotopes in Biological Systems (2009). Vysotskii’s groundbreaking work is extremely compelling and relevant to human health, especially when we consider that the human microbiome is made up primarily of bacteria and that we are composed mostly of our microbiome. We’ve already seen how the microbiome is capable of extending our genetic capabilities far beyond what our hard-coded eukaryotic genome provides. It is therefore not outside the scope of possibility that these bacteria could also be responsible for the transmutation of elements. This possibility has revolutionary implications for revealing the truly immense power and resilience inherent to our microbiome-based physiology. Our body has at least as many bacteria as cells, and each cell contains within it mitochondria that look and behave very much like bacteria due to their genetic and structural homologies.60 Could our microbiome also facilitate the mitigation of radioisotope exposure from our environment? If so, we may have a deeper level of human resilience and regenerative potential than previously conceived, which may be necessary for our species’s very survival in this postnuclear era. Mitochondria: Turning Energy into Matter One of the most revolutionary discoveries of our time is that mitochondria are capable of profound feats of alchemical transformation. This includes transforming the immense energy available to them into matter. In 1978, Army research scientist Solomon Goldfein performed a series of experiments with mitochondria in order to evaluate the veracity of C. Louis Kervran’s claims of transmutation of elements within biological systems. Goldfein’s experiments proved Kervran correct, and moreover, they uncovered something truly paradigm-shifting about the creative power of our mitochondria. In his report, “Energy Development from Elemental Transmutations in Biological Systems,”61 Goldfein revealed two remarkable phenomena. First, mitochondria are capable of producing more energy than would be expected according to classical laws of physics and biochemistry (an implication of which is that they are accessing free energy from the quantum vacuum), and second, mitochondria act like microscopic particle accelerators, with the resultant energy generated enabling the cell to transform elements into one another. Goldfein was able to identify six ways that each requirement for a cyclotron particle accelerator is met on a molecular scale. While it is also an essential part of our cellular bioenergetics, the biologically active form of magnesium ion–bound ATP (Mg-ATP) serves an entirely new role as a nanoparticle accelerator, its helical structure enabling the acceleration of the hydrogen ion (H+) to the relativistic speeds sufficient to transform target atoms into other elements, such as sodium to magnesium, potassium to calcium, manganese to iron, and so on and so forth. Goldfein’s discovery overturns the conventional view that ATP’s primary role is to function as a carrier molecule for the energy needed to sustain life. Indeed, if Goldfein’s findings are accurate, the Mg-ATP chelate functions as a particle accelerator with immense creative and biotransformative potential. The only other researcher since then who has visualized mitochondria as capable of functioning like a particle accelerator is Dr. Jack Kruse, who has written extensively on the topic of quantum biology. He has applied the most famous formula in physics, Einstein’s mass-energy equivalence equation (E=mc2), to quantum biology. What’s more, he points out its reversibility: not only does matter convert to energy/light, but energy/light can transform into programmable matter. Water: The Philosopher’s Stone of the New Biophysics Water cavitation occurs naturally and can also be induced in experimental settings. It involves the formation of a vapor-filled cavity in a liquid such as water in places where the pressure is low. When high pressures are applied, these cavities, also called voids or bubbles, collapse into themselves, generating a shockwave of extremely high levels of heat, sound, and light in a phenomenon known as sonoluminescence. An acoustical wave or laser passed through water is capable of inducing a water cavitation bubble that produces millions of times more energy than induced it. The energy is so intense that temperatures equal to that of the sun have been measured off these tiny collapsing water bubbles.62 The science of water cavitation has been studied for decades, due in large part to sheer necessity, because it is highly destructive to man-made machines. Propeller blades on ships, for instance, often undergo great wear and tear due to the natural formation of water bubbles in their operation. Only recently has the science advanced to the point where the phenomenon’s immense power could be harnessed and directed for specific technological applications. Mark LeClair, a scientist specializing in harnessing water cavitation for nanotechnological applications, came upon a revolutionary discovery when he performed a series of grant-funded experiments using a laser to induce cavitation bubbles. An unexpected result of the experiment was the production of excessive energy (evidence of zero-point energy harnessing), with 840 watts powering the pump and 2,900 watts produced. This result alone has huge implications for the development of clean, sustainable alternatives to fossil and nuclear fuels. But what was even more remarkable was that the cavitation event revealed both the transmutation and de novo synthesis of elements, during which water was transformed into energy and matter. Incredibly, the elemental distribution of the transmuted material was a near-perfect match for supernovas (thought to be the origin of all the elements on the planet) and the ratio of elements found in the earth’s crust, with strong corroborating evidence of micro black hole formation preceding the creation of elements. This experiment appeared to show that a nucleosynthesis event, similar to stellar nucleosynthesis, can be induced in water, a finding that completely rewrites our understanding of where the elements found on the earth, and even those of the sun, originated.63 LeClair’s cavitation experiments also revealed a hitherto unknown crystalline form of water, twice as strong as diamond and up to 5.5 times denser than ordinary water. The formation of the water crystal induced a shockwave observed to reach the relativistic speeds and energies required to trigger intense nuclear fusion, fission, and transmutation. One way to explain this cavitation-induced sonoluminescence and nucleosynthesis is the concept that the immense energies that are released come from the quantum vacuum. Dr. Claudia Eberlein’s pioneering paper “Sonoluminescence as Quantum Vacuum Radiation” speaks to that point; Eberlein points out that only the zero-point energy spectrum matches the light emission spectrum of sonoluminescence.64 These discoveries also have profound implications for our understanding of the origin of life. LeClair’s water crystal was observed forming linear or helical strands with large, icosahedral-hexagonal heads and long, narrow whip tails forming coils that can supercoil, similar to DNA. As LeClair observed, the discovery of the crystal and its effects will have a dramatic impact on the physics, chemistry, and biology of water. Furthermore, this discovery indicates that water cavitation may be at the root of the origin of life itself by providing the geometric template for self-replicating information-storage molecules. When we consider that the origin of life is believed to have occurred in hydrothermal vents deep on the primordial ocean floor, where one would find a proton gradient, prebiotic building blocks, and water cavitation bubbles, LeClair’s work adds a missing piece to the ancient puzzle of how and where life on this planet originated. [learn more: powerpoint on water cavitation by Mark LeClair]. Water cavitation provides us with a powerful example of both the extraordinary energies available within the elements of which we are composed and our creative potential. But do we have the biological systems to harness it? Two very special species of shrimp point to the affirmative. The first, known as the mantis shrimp (typically four inches long), possesses a claw strike so powerful that divers who had had the misfortune of being struck by one named them “thumb splitter.” Their strike can carry up to 200 pounds of force, enough to break through aquarium glass, and is as powerful and fast as a .22-caliber bullet. The second, smaller pistol shrimp (1.2–2 inches long) is aptly named for its disproportionately large claw comprising two-part pistol-like features: a “hammer” that moves backward into a right-angled position cocked in its joint, and a receiving part the hammer is released into. The wave of bubbles it emits is powerful enough to break glass jars and stun its prey. Acoustically, the snap of its claw produces a cavitation bubble moving at a speed of 100 km/h (62 mph) that generates a sound reaching as high as 218 decibels. (For perspective, a thunderclap is 120 decibels, and a jet taking off 80 feet away will generate 150 decibels, which is loud enough to rupture your eardrum.) The pistol shrimp’s click only lasts one millisecond. But in that millisecond the collapsing cavitation bubble produces heat of over 5,000 K (4,700°C). In comparison, the surface temperature of the sun is estimated to be around 5,800 K (5,500°C). The sound wave also produces a burst of light through sonoluminescence, which is believed to cause temperatures four times that of the sun (around 20,000 Kelvin) within the core of the collapsing bubble. The way in which these species of shrimp generate enough power to accomplish these feats penetrates to one of the key realizations of this book, namely, that there are sources of energy available to living things that far exceed any conventional estimates or mechanisms commonly accepted today. If organisms as diminutive as shrimp are capable of harnessing enough zero-point energy to produce temperatures as hot as the sun, and the mitochondria within our bodies are capable of harnessing trillions upon trillions of volts of potential energy and transforming it into matter, only time will tell what we are truly capable of achieving. When it comes to the New Biology, the convergence of quantum biology, epigenetics, mind-body and narrative medicine, and spirituality has never been more compelling and exciting than it is today. Within the nexus of these disciplines, we can now arrive at plausible explanations for phenomena that, for many decades and in some cases centuries, have often seemed fantastical, perplexing, and downright heretical.

- DOCTORS SPEAK TO PARLIAMENT - 4th DECEMBER 2023
British MP Andrew Bridgen organised a session of experts to speak and deliver their expert-opinions on the C19 vaccine rollout and the corresponding excess deaths to parliament. These are the Doctors who spoke to parliament. DR MIKE YEADON DR PETER McCULLOUGH DR DAVID E MARTIN DR PIERRE KORY MD, MPA STEVE KIRSCH DR ROBERT MALONE PROFESSOR ANGUS DAGLEISH RYAN COLE Before we have a look at the speeches given by a group of carefully selected experts to the parliament, let's have a peek at the other side of the fence. This is Boris Jonson the ex 'prime' minister of the United Kingdom explaining to his peers how he managed to lose 5,000 critical, and no doubt incriminating WhatsApp messages... NOTB PETITION CALLING FOR A FULL INVESTIGATION INTO THE C19 JABS Back to the serious issue of vaccine-induced fatalities that are causing a clear rise in many nation's excess death rate. Of course, the BBC and other controlled outlets will invent reasons for the undeniable rise in the excess death rate but the connection to the vaccine rollout is not only clear, but many of us warned of the expected dangers and BEFORE the excess death rate could be measured. After publishing our work on v-induced magnetism in 2021, I called the C19 jab campaign 'the greatest attack ever witnessed on humanity' a call which is now being echoed more and more. My reasoning was the vaccine-induced magnetism proved an attempt at transhumanism. It is imperative to bear in mind that when it comes to realising the connection between the jab rollout and the excess deaths, there are two narratives being used to explain the situation. The jab rollout was rushed due to the emergency pandemic and accidents in safety/invention transpired. i.e. 'we did our best but made mistakes' The jab rollout was an intentional bioweapon carefully designed and pushed on the population using advanced psychological coercion techniques. The ultimate goals being population reduction and transhumanism. Not On The Beeb has been calling for a full and comprehensive investigation into the C19 'vaccine' with over 16,000 people signing our petition of which over 1,000 are doctors and health professionals. PETITION THE SPEECHES - 4th DECEMBER 2023 Yeadon could not attend in person, so sent his speech by a video presentation. The remote controller was lost so Yeadon's testimony could not be played. Here is Yeadon's video. It is followed by the recordings from the event. MIKE YEADON The speech that was not played due to a lost remote control... Mike Yeadon, Ph.D. immunologist and former Pfizer Chief Scientist worldwide for respiratory pharmacology and product development, speaks from a thirty-year career in pharmacological research and development, new product development, and as a Biotech entrepreneur. He has been a courageous Whistleblower since the fall of 2020, warning about the damage to pregnancy development as a result of the spike protein, similarity to a critical placental protein, and lipid nanoparticle damage to the ovaries and testicles.

- ASTHMA AND BLACK SEED OIL STUDY
Black seed oil puts deadly asthma meds to shame Written By: Sayer Ji, Founder Green Med Info The powerful black seed known as nigella sativa strikes again! This time proving that food can be a powerful asthma medication alternative. A new study published in the journal Phytotherapeutic Research reveals that a powerful little black seed known as nigella sativa — once referred to as ‘the remedy for everything but death’ — may provide a powerful alternative to pharmaceutical medicine in the treatment of asthma. This is extremely promising for the millions of chronic asthma sufferers who are still taking medications like long-acting beta agonist which the FDA warned back in 2006 actually increased the risk of dying from asthma. The new study entitled, “Nigella sativa Supplementation Improves Asthma Control and Biomarkers: A Randomized, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled Trial,” was a placebo-controlled RCT performed on 80 asthmatics, with 40 patients in each treatment and placebo groups. The researchers pointed out that “Nigella sativa oil (NSO) is used traditionally for many inflammatory conditions such as asthma.” NSO capsules were administered 500 mg twice daily for 4 weeks. The placebo group received an equal dose of olive oil. The patients were monitored and measured for the following outcomes: “The primary outcome was Asthma Control Test score. The secondary outcomes were pulmonary function test, blood eosinophils and total serum Immunoglobulin E.” After 4 weeks, ten patients had withdrawn from each group, leaving 30 remaining in each group. The results were reported as follows: “Compared with placebo, NSO group showed a significant improvement in mean Asthma Control Test score 21.1 (standard deviation = 2.6) versus 19.6 (standard deviation = 3.7) (p = 0.044) and a significant reduction in blood eosinophils by -50 (-155 to -1) versus 15 (-60 to 87) cells/μL (p = 0.013). NSO improved forced expiratory volume in 1 second as percentage of predicted value by 4 (-1.25 to 8.75) versus 1 (-2 to 5) but non-significant (p = 0.170).” [emphasis added] The conclusion of the study was reported as follows: “This randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial demonstrated that NSO supplementation improves asthma control with a trend in pulmonary function improvement. This was associated with a remarkable normalization of blood eosinophlia. Future studies should follow asthmatics for longer periods in a multicentre trial.” The study provides insight into why nutritionally-based interventions are superior to conventional drug-based ones. With the 2006 discovery by asthma drug manufacturer GlaxoSmithKline that asthma medications actually increase the risk of death from the very condition being treated, the need for safer and more effective asthma solutions has never been clearer. One of the primary criticisms of monotherapy with long-acting beta agonists is that they do not address the underlying inflammation that is closer to the root cause of asthma. This is why conventional approaches now default to combining corticosteroids with beta-agonists. Corticosteroids, however, have a wide range of adverse health effects, including immunosuppression and even severe psychiatric side effects. The fact that black seed oil extract can improve overall clinical parameters of asthma, as well as significantly reduce blood eosinophil levels (the target of steroid drugs) to the point of “normalization,” is amazing. Food, of course, is several orders of magnitude safer and more affordable than prescription drugs, and unlike the dozens of known side effects that occur with virtually all FDA-approved pharmaceuticals, foods like black seed have dozens of side benefits. To take a look at the robust body of research on the potential health benefits of black seed oil in over 100 different conditions, visit our nigella sativa research portal. Additionally, GreenMedInfo.com contains a vast storehouse of research on natural interventions for asthma prevention and treatment which you can peruse at our Asthma Research portal. In 2014, the Global Asthma Report estimated that about 334 million people worldwide are afflicted with asthma and that it is therefore becoming a global health priority.

NOTB Recommended Black Seed Oil Products North American Herb & Spice (NAHS) is the world leader in producing the highest quality black seed oil supplements available. This black seed and the cold-pressed oil are the most potent, aromatic complexes known, 100% remote Mediterranean source. Concerning taste and efficacy, there is no comparison. NAHS's black seed supplements are dense, natural sources of the all-important nutrients which are key for supporting overall cardiovascular health: thymoquinone, carvacrol, and plant sterols. Thymoquinone accounts for the great potency of black seed for supporting overall heart, arterial, lung, kidney, and digestive health, as well as supporting the health of the immune system. BLACK SEED OIL HISTORY Black seed oil, also known as Nigella sativa oil, has been used for medicinal purposes for thousands of years, with evidence of its use dating back to ancient Egypt. The oil was highly prized by the ancient Egyptians and was even found in the tomb of the pharaoh Tutankhamun. In Islamic culture, black seed oil is also highly revered and has been mentioned in the Quran, the holy book of Islam, where it is referred to as "Habbatul Barakah" (the blessed seed). The Prophet Muhammad is also said to have praised the oil, stating that it "is a cure for every disease except death." Scientific studies have since confirmed that black seed oil has many health benefits, thanks in large part to its active ingredient, thymoquinone. Thymoquinone has been found to have anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and anti-cancer properties, making it a powerful natural remedy. In addition to its use in traditional medicine, black seed oil has also gained popularity in recent years as a natural remedy for a variety of ailments, including asthma, allergies, diabetes, and skin conditions. Overall, the history of black seed oil as a medicine is long and rich, with evidence of its use spanning thousands of years and multiple cultures. The oil's potent medicinal properties, including the power of thymoquinone, continue to be studied and celebrated by researchers and natural health enthusiasts alike.

- IS BLACK SEED OIL THE IVERMECTIN REPLACEMENT?
Ivermectin has been one of the buzzwords of the last two years, and rightly so. Although famous for treating parasitic infections, studies show it reduces c19 symptoms. However, in early 2020 as the C19 narrative erupted, Ivermectin (alongside HCQ) was banned by the major western economies even though both products have a long history of award-winning safe use. It is still possible to access Ivermectin overseas, from countries like Mexico (where it is available in airport vending machines) to India and Africa. In India, the cost is about £0.70 since it's been subsidised by the government. In Egypt, it's £2.50 a packet. In the UK it is available at a premium price on the black market at about £60-£90 Ivermectin is more readily available for veterinary use and many purchase horse ivermectin (about £10) for an oral syringe that uses a dosing guide worked out per kilo of body weight. Some have doubted the safety of horse ivermectin, however since racehorses seem to out-value most humans, my guess is the purity and safety of a product that might be used on a multi-million dollar animal can be respected just as much as one destined for humans–even if it might be apple flavoured! So, with these promising studies on Ivermectin, many (including the respected Dr Tess Lawrie's Bird Group) continue to push Ivermectin as a possible C19 symptom solution. It certainly seems to be. But, what is the point of having a protocol, if most people can’t access the very remedy that's needed? The good news is that there is a natural, cheap and safe and easy-to-access alternative that works just as well, if not better. The Ivermectin replacement is Nigella Sativa, known more commonly as Black Seed Oil. I've divided the article into the following 9 sections What is Black Seed Oil? What is it traditionally used for? Can it help with 'Covid' symptoms? How does it work and is it safe? Where can I get it? NOTB Recommended Black Seed Oil Products Health Benefits of Black Seed Oil -studies Cautions and warnings SHOP What is it? Black seed oil is a 100% natural product derived from the plant Nigella sativa, which is native to Eastern Europe and Western Asia (Source). What is it traditionally used for? Black seed oil is a natural remedy that people use to treat a wide range of conditions, including: headaches back pain high blood pressure infections inflammation Numerous studies demonstrated the seed of Nigella sativa and its main active constituent, thymoquinone, to be medicinally very effective against various illnesses: neurological and mental illness, cardiovascular disorders, cancer, diabetes inflammatory conditions, and infertility various infectious diseases due to bacterial, fungal, parasitic, and viral infections. SOURCE See more on the potential healing properties below The Prophet Mohammed had described the curative powers of the black seed as “Hold on to use this black seed, as it has a remedy for every illness except death” Can Nigella Sativa help with C19 symptoms? As shown below, Nigella Sativa (black seed oil) seems to have the potential to outperform vitamin D, ivermectin and even hydroxychloroquine for C19. source Please note these studies involve early treatment... which is how any problem from car rust to medical issues should be dealt with,- EARLY "A stitch in times saves nine" The 'all-mortality' figures show a greater efficiency. source How does it work and is it safe? Dr Andrew Goldworthy, Imperial College Biological safety officer and lecturer (retired) wrote to me with his thoughts on the action of Black Seed Oil. "....There is increasing evidence that Black Seed Oil is also effective against COVID-19 since it disrupts the fat-soluble capsid membrane around the virus. There is also evidence that it may be effective against Long Covid, where this can, at least in some cases, be due to the COVID reactivating other viruses such as Epstein Barr to cause chronic fatigue and other symptoms. My own two-pence worth is to start with a low dose and work upwards since it may also attack your own cell membranes. But viruses have a much greater surface area to volume ratio and should be more susceptible to any given concentration of the thymoquinone than you are. You just have to hit the sweet spot where, on balance, the adverse effect on the virus exceeds the adverse effect on you. So, If you take Black Seed Oil, do not exceed the recommended dose and, if you have any adverse effects, stop taking it or reduce the dose...." Where can I get it? You can easily buy it over the counter for under £10 for a small bottle in many middle eastern shops. However, as with Olive oil, quality varies dramatically depending on the sourcing and production process. Since we are interested in the full medicinal benefits., we need the very best. A few years ago I had the pleasure of a two-hour chat with Dr Cass Ingram regarding his production of Oregano oil. I learnt that his company North American Herb and Spice go to extraordinary lengths to source the very highest quality ingredients, from precise geographical locations matching 2,000 years of herbal knowledge. They then use advanced cold extraction methods that preserve each constituent. I have tried and tested Dr Ingram's products over the last years, even using NAHS Oregano oil topically to defeat sepsis. Stunning. Therefore, NAHS is my go-to source for oregano and all other oils of medicinal value, including Black Seed Oil.

As a result, it has sometimes been referred to as “panacea” — or universal healer (Source, Source). High in antioxidants Black seed oil is high in antioxidants — plant compounds that help protect cells against damage caused by unstable molecules called free radicals (Source, Source, Source, Source). Antioxidants reduce inflammation and protect against conditions like heart disease, Alzheimer’s disease, and cancer (Source). Black seed oil is rich in thymoquinone, which has potent antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects. Studies suggest this compound may protect brain health and aid in treating several types of cancer (Source, Source, Source, Source). Asthma Research has shown that black seed oil, and specifically thymoquinone in the oil, may help in treating asthma by reducing inflammation and relaxing muscles in the airway ( Source, Source, Source). One study in 80 adults with asthma found that taking 500 mg of black seed oil capsules twice a day for 4 weeks significantly improved asthma control (Source). Weight loss Research shows that black seed oil may help reduce body mass index (BMI) in individuals with obesity, metabolic syndrome, or type 2 diabetes (Source, Source). In one 8-week study, 90 women ages 25–50 with obesity were given a low calorie diet and either a placebo or 1 gram of black seed oil per meal for a total of 3 grams per day ( Source). At the end of the study, those taking the black seed oil had lost significantly more weight and waist circumference than the placebo group. The oil group also experienced significant improvements in triglyceride and LDL (bad) cholesterol levels (Source). May lower blood sugar levels For individuals with diabetes, consistently high blood sugar levels have been shown to increase the risk of future complications, including kidney disease, eye disease, and stroke (Source). Several studies in individuals with type 2 diabetes indicate that a dose of 2 grams per day of crushed whole black seeds may significantly reduce fasting blood sugar levels and hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) levels, a measure of average blood sugar levels over 2–3 months (Source, Source, Source). While most studies use black seed powder in capsules, black seed oil has also been shown to help lower blood sugar levels (Source). One study in 99 adults with type 2 diabetes found that both 1/3 teaspoon (1.5 mL) and 3/5 teaspoon (3 mL) per day of black seed oil for 20 days significantly reduced HbA1c levels, compared with a placebo (26). May help lower blood pressure and cholesterol levels Black seed oil has also been studied for its potential effectiveness in reducing blood pressure and cholesterol levels. Two studies, one in 90 women with obesity and the other in 72 adults with type 2 diabetes, found that taking 2–3 grams of black seed oil capsules per day for 8–12 weeks significantly reduced LDL (bad) and total cholesterol levels (Source, ). Another study in 90 people with high cholesterol levels observed that consuming 2 teaspoons (10 grams) of black seed oil after eating breakfast for 6 weeks significantly reduced LDL (bad) cholesterol levels (Source). The oil may also help lower blood pressure. One study in 70 healthy adults noted that 1/2 teaspoon (2.5 mL) of black seed oil twice a day for 8 weeks significantly reduced blood pressure levels, compared with a placebo (Source). Brain health Neuroinflammation is inflammation of brain tissue. It’s thought to play an important role in the development of diseases like Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s (Source, Source). Early test-tube and animal research suggests that thymoquinone in black seed oil may reduce neuroinflammation. Therefore, it may help protect against brain disorders like Alzheimer’s or Parkinson’s disease (Source, Source, Source, Source). However, there’s currently very little research on the effectiveness of black seed oil in humans specifically regarding the brain. One study in 40 healthy older adults found significant improvements in measures of memory, attention, and cognition after taking 500 mg of N. sativa capsules twice a day for 9 weeks (Source). Still, more research is needed to confirm black seed oil’s protective effects for brain health. Skin and hair In addition to medical uses, black seed oil is commonly used topically to help with a variety of skin conditions and to hydrate hair. Research suggests that due to its antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory effects, black seed oil may help in treating a few skin conditions, including (Source, Source): acne eczema general dry skin psoriasis Despite claims that the oil can also help hydrate hair and reduce dandruff, no clinical studies support these claims. Anticancer effects. Test-tube studies have shown thymoquinone in black seed oil to help control the growth and spread of several types of cancer cells (39Trusted Source, 40Trusted Source). Reduce symptoms of rheumatoid arthritis. Due to its anti-inflammatory effects, limited research suggests that black seed oil may help reduce joint inflammation in people with rheumatoid arthritis (Source, Source, Source). Male infertility. Limited research suggests that black seed oil may improve semen quality in men diagnosed with infertility This study was conducted on Iranian infertile men with inclusion criteria of abnormal sperm morphology less than 30% or sperm counts below 20×10(6)/ml or type A and B motility less than 25% and 50% respectively. The patients in N. sativa oil group (n=34) received 2.5mlN. sativa oil and placebo group (n=34) received 2.5ml liquid paraffin two times a day orally for 2 months. At baseline and after 2 months, the sperm count, motility and morphology and semen volume, pH and round cells as primary outcomes were determined in both groups. Results showed that sperm count, motility and morphology and semen volume, pH and round cells were improved significantly in N. sativa oil treated group compared with placebo group after 2 months. I t is concluded that daily intake of 5ml N. sativa oil for two months improves abnormal semen quality in infertile men without any adverse effects. (Source, Source). Antifungal. Black seed oil has also been shown to have antifungal activities. In particular, it may protect against Candida albicans, which is a yeast that can lead to candidiasis (Source, Source). Further research is needed While early research shows promise in the applications of black seed oil, more studies in humans are needed to confirm these effects and the optimal dosage. When taking Black Seed Oil orally we advise (particularly if you are already on any form of medication), that you first seek approval from your medical practitioner. Side effects from oral consumption are quite rare, with most reports being easily explained as the user having ignored dosage and strength recommendations before starting out. The most common mistake people tend to make with Black Seed Oil is by taking too much too soon, or by starting out on too strong an oil. This will usually begin to rid toxins from the body far too quickly, and can set off your body’s defence mechanism (which will cause the body to fight against the oil rather than alongside it – usually resulting in vomiting). This is why we insist that you begin with our Original oil on a low dosage, and then build up the dose and strength gradually, until you reach your desired results. Going through the gradual build-up process will help rid toxins from the body at a less detectable rate, and then when detox has been completed it will begin to help strengthen your immune system. Most people will notice increased ‘belching’ after consuming Black Seed Oil, which can continue throughout the day. This is completely normal, and most users tend to find that the belching will gradually fade away after a few days/ weeks of taking the oil. CAUTIONS and WARNINGS Because of the lack of research in this particular area, we do not recommend Black seed oil to be taken by pregnant women, nor for Black Seed Oil to be used while breast-feeding. Oral consumption of our oils is not recommended for children under 5 years old. Children under 12 should take half the adult dosage. We do not under any circumstances recommend substituting any medically-prescribed items with Black Seed Oil – unless you have first sought professional medical advice from your GP. Black Seed Oil is commonly used (and known to be very effective) for lowering blood pressure. We therefore advise monitoring your blood pressure closely whilst taking the oil – particularly if you are being administered any other form of blood pressure medication. Black Seed Oil has been known to be very effective at helping to lower blood-sugar. Whilst many Diabetics use the oil for this reason, it is important (particularly if you are on any form of blood-sugar medication) that you closely monitor your blood-sugar levels. Black Seed Oil is often used to help thin the blood and slow down clotting. If you are taking any other blood-clotting medication we urge you to seek advice from your GP prior to taking Black Seed Oil. Due to the bottling environment of our seeds, oil, and capsules; we must inform you that our products may contain traces of nuts. *It should be noted that as with everything in life – allergic reactions are still possible. If you notice any adverse effects – stop consuming the product immediately and seek professional advice from a GP. BLACK SEED OIL SHOP Buy with NOTB. Shipment is direct from the NAHS warehouse.

- SOLICITOR LOIS BAYLISS - DEFENCE FUND
Remember the winter of 2021 going into 2022? We were pushing back against the vaccine roll-out that was attempting to snare our children through the school winter C19 vaccination programs. Solicitor Lois Bayliss provided the letter templates for parents to send to schools. We published these templates and worked hard to get them out. Many NOTB subscribers used them. I know from the feedback we received, that the campaign was highly successful. Her solictor's governing body the SRA are now prosecuting her. Lois is one of the heroes of the pandemic. She is now facing a massive legal case and needs our help. We now also know the extent of the vaccine-induced injuries. This is a glimpse of some US stats from the VAERS database. Remember, it was known children were at a negligible risk from C19 symptoms SOURCE The crazy thing is that she is liable for the SRA's costs in prosecuting her even if she wins! These costs are estimated to be in the region of £90,000 The only way she can win these costs back is by the case being proven as misjudged. In my humble no-legal opinion, I believe once the extent of the humanicide has become recognised the extent of the implications understood - cases like this will be overturned. Meanwhile, Lois needs our support You might also remember that I was working on providing expert and vaccine injury witness evidence for the case with the legal team headed by Lois Bayliss submitting witness statements and expert witness statements Over 60 NOTB members who are vaccine-injured also submitted witness statements. Several key Doctors also submitted expert witness evidence. Multiple scientists submitted expert witness evidence. Over 16,000 of you have backed Not On The Beeb petition (started in the summer of 2021) calling for a pause to the roll-out and investigation into the ingredients that we supplied to the legal team, as a public push backing the evidence. This is now in the hands of Andrew Bridgen to hand to Parliament which he says he will do shortly after the debates following the King's speech. The start of the harassment can be seen here: Lois is one of the few I trust. She worked for free for everyone. I witnessed her passion first-hand. We both worked clean through the Christmas of 21 and New Year of 22 preparing evidence for the case. Even if you can't afford to help please add a message of support under this article in the comments section Lois Bayliss - Solicitor - Defence Fund Lois Bayliss is a solicitor, practising in England, with a 17-year unblemished record as a medical negligence lawyer. She has been acting pro bono in relation to challenging the Covid 19 narrative and is now facing regulatory action due to having issued letters in early 2022, warning of the risks to health from the various measures put in place by the UK Government. At the time of the SARS- CoV-2 (Covid 19) injections being granted emergency use authorisation, she had concern that as they had only been subject to limited trials, there was little safety data available and indeed, no long-term safety data available at all. As the vaccines were rolled out, information became available which related to their lack of efficacy and poor safety profile. This caused Lois significant concern, particularly heightened when a decision was made to include children aged 12 to 17 in the UK vaccination programme, even though it was also known and acknowledged by this point that Covid posed no risk to healthy children. Over the past 3 years Lois has: Spoken up and continues to speak up in support of those injured by the Covid 19 injections. Assisted families in Court proceedings seeking to prevent forced Covid 19 injections – with two of those cases going all the way to the appeal courts. This work continues to date with 2 cases resulting in a withdrawal of the application for vaccination. None of the cases have resulted in the enforced vaccination of the individual (including children). Assisted in a significant case in the Coroners Court regarding the Covid 19 injection being the alleged cause of death. Obtained vast amounts of vaccine injured and whistle blower evidence, all of which has been provided to police forces, and the solicitors regulator, Solicitors Regulation Authority (SRA) Assisted another Law Firm in supporting health and social care staff facing the loss of their jobs due to the vaccine mandate. Directly supported a number of health and social care staff in defending their right not to have a Covid 19 injection in order to keep their job. Assisted other professionals, including doctors who are facing regulatory action for raising concerns about the Covid 19 injections. Some of these are high profile individuals who have and continue to play a key role in getting information into the public arena about Covid 19 vaccine harms. Gathered an immense amount of expert evidence from highly qualified, world-renowned professionals, which calls into doubt policies put in place by governments across the world for the management of Covid 19, including the Covid 19 injections and their rollout. Been part of the group of professionals who reported various crimes relating to the Covid 19 control measures to the Metropolitan Police on 20th December 2021. Reported the same crimes and provided evidence of such to other Police forces around the country. Continued to work with others in challenging the continuing Covid 19 narrative and the censorship aroud it. Attended for interview with one of the police forces and for a number of months continued to provide evidence to the various other police forces. Been contacted directly by 1324 NHS workers facing loss of jobs due to the mandate. In some cases, this included preparing a defence. Been active in assisting another law firm in a case against the Medicines and Healthcare Products Regulatory Agency (MHRA). Issued letters in February 2022, to secondary schools GP surgeries and vaccination centres highlighting the risks posed by prolonged mask wearing, repeated lateral flow testing and the Covid 19 injections. The letters also raised the point that obtaining informed consent was not possible. These letters were issued for public use and were utilised internationally. Continued to play an instrumental role in ensuring that data and expert evidence is placed on court record and has been served on police forces, the SRA and the SDT. Over the past 3 years the challenges around the Covid 19 polices and injections has been carried out by Lois on a pro bono basis. In some cases, this has included Lois herself paying barristers fees for those she was representing. Had this work not been carried out pro bono and Lois not funded counsel fees herself for those in need, many families would not have been able to defend themselves or their position in the courts. It is of note that in all cases, the families approaching Lois and requesting her assistance said they had been turned down by other members of the legal profession. Had Lois not taken on these cases, sometimes at short notice, the families involved would not have had a voice within the courts. The letters issued in February 2022, are the reason for which the SRA are now taking regulatory action against Lois and she is threatened with a fine and estimated costs of £90,750 and that is even if she defends herself against the allegations of professional misconduct. These costs must be paid even if Lois successfully defends herself against the allegations which have been levelled at her by the SRA. Staggeringly, there are only very limited instances where a solicitor who has successfully defended themselves has not been ordered to pay the costs incurred by the SRA in bringing their case. There has been and remains a clear demand for the work Lois has been undertaking. By bringing this action against her, the SRA will potentially be preventing people from obtaining access to justice. It is of significant note that Lois acts on behalf of other professionals who are themselves facing sanction by their professional bodies, or regulatory action for speaking out about Covid 19 policy. Defending oneself in such circumstances is very expensive and it is often the risk of this expense which stops some professionals from speaking out at all. By acting pro bono Lois takes a lot of stress from the individuals involved, which provides them with the ability to make appropriate and much needed challenge in relation to government decisions. If Lois is unable to defend herself, maintain her reputation and her ability to practice, these people will not have access to the legal support they so vitally need. Lois has been notified that her case will go to the Solicitors Disciplinary Tribunal (SDT) in February 2024. To save costs Lois has defended herself up to this point, but will need independent legal representation leading up to and at the hearing in front of the SDT. At this stage the estimated cost of defending the case all the way to trial is circa £50k. There is then the estimated £90.750 SRA legal fees (payable even if Lois wins her case), along with the risk of a yet undetermined fine which could be anything up to £50k. It should be noted too, that this estimate of just in excess of £90k for the SRA legal fees will most definitely increase because the SRA had removed most of Lois's defence evidence when the matter was handed over to the SDT and since the SRA have now had to add defence evidence to documentation presented to the SDT, the estimated costs are highly likely to double if not triple. Importantly however, this does all provide an opportunity to place vital evidence before the SDT. This means that Lois needs to raise a minimum of £200k in order to fully defend herself. All monies donated to Lois's fund will only be used to fund her counsel (barrister) fees and any tribunal fees, plus such adverse costs which may be awarded against her and any fine imposed. She will be transparent in relation to all accounting and spending made from fund donations. Thank you very much in anticipation for any support you are able to provide.

- BBC 'APOLOGISE' FOR 'BIAS' WHEN COVERING BRIDGEN'S EXCESS DEATHS SPEECH
A huge thank you to everyone who filed a complaint to the BBC over their disgraceful attempt to contradict one of the most important speeches of the decade. (scroll down to see video of the speech and screenshots of the BBC's propaganda) It has worked. The BBC is on the back foot and has apologised. A (BBC) spokesman said: "We accept there was a lack of consistency in the use of our captions and that the number posted during the speech was not proportionate, nor always relevant which created the incorrect impression that there was an editorial approach in relation to the views expressed.

- NOTB'S 80th C19 ADVERSE EVENT DATA REPORT FROM UK'S YELLOW CARD
This is NOTB's last adverse data report. In the beginning, no one was translating and publishing the key Yellow Card reports. Things have moved on. The Conservative Woman is now publishing the data compiled by our key NOTB volunteer Jenny Brown who did the heavy lifting. Thank you Jenny for all the hard work over the last 3 years. Please find future reports here. MHRA YELLOW CARD REPORTING SUMMARY UP TO 27th SEPT 2023 New interactive format data Up to 29th September 2023 a total of 2,357,222 covid vaccines have been administered by the NHS England since the start of the autumn campaign on 11th September 2023, including in more than 6,000 care homes. YELLOW CARD REPORTS 177,488 (Pfizer-mono) 5245 (Pfizer-bivalent) 248,629 (AZ) 43,043 (Moderna-mono) 5,515 (Moderna-bivalent) 89 (Novavax) 2,636 (Unknown brand) TOTAL= 482,645 people have reported injuries or filed fatalities. FATALITIES - reported up until 27th SEPT 2023 1415 AZ deaths - The AZ was banned in most of the EU in 2021 and simultaneously quietly withdrawn in the UK 937 Pfizer deaths - 891 (Pfizer-mono) + 47 (Pfizer-bivalent) 142 Moderna deaths - 92 (Moderna-mono) 50 (Moderna-bivalent) 85 deaths from unknown brands TOTAL FATALITIES REPORTED = 2,580 (Scroll down for detailed breakdown) Some general statistics derived from the MHRA Yellow Card reports 74.5% of these reports have been classified as SERIOUS by the MHRA 12.9% of all the serious reports are of unkown age 1 in 112 people injected filed a Yellow Card Adverse Event 1 in 150 people who received a jab filed an adverse event classified as SERIOUS* 1 in 187 reports are associated with a fatality, which may be less than 10% of actual figures according to MHRA The problem with the above stats is that all the official bodies that deal with collecting this data with the UK and USA, admit that only 1-10% of incidents are reported. That means the real numbers are up to 100X greater than the numbers above. How can this be possible? 1 - First of all doctors or patients need to connect the injury to the cause. Bullets are easily attributed to a gun whereas for example, heart attacks and heart failure have many hard-to-pinpoint causes. 2 - Doctors need approx 45 minutes to file a report. A European doctor told me apologetically that she had simply given up filing them as one she had no time, and secondly, at the end of the 45 min process she often got an error losing all the data meaning she needed to start again.

The people of Britain (and the world) request the British police seize multiple sample vials of the C19 vaccines and conduct an immediate open, independent and detailed analysis of the contents. 1 - Why are so many people suffering adverse events and death after COVID-19 vaccinations? 2 - Why are so many of our fittest sportspeople collapsing and suffering myocarditis, heart attacks and death post-vaccination? 3 - Why have the vaccine manufacturers withheld ingredients? Undisclosed ingredients are illegal and involve the deception of the public. 4 - Why have independent scientific reports of Graphene Oxide and other contaminants not been publically investigated? 5 - Why are the various batches of the vaccine clearly different? As per VAERS data, most adverse reactions are coming from a few batches. This clearly indicates suspect manufacturing. 6 - (Jan 2022) With all these doubts concerning safety, why is the vaccine rollout continuing in British schools 7 - As of December 6th 2022 why has such a product, with such a track-record, been authorised for our youngest children between 6 months and 4 years old? 8 - (Update 2023) - Why are the considerable national (and international) excess deaths not being investigated? I, the undersigned, request the British police seize samples of the vaccine and instigate an urgent public scientific review, regarding the safety, legitimacy and ethical implications of the ingredients and the biotechnology that are causing widespread serious adverse reactions post-COVID-19 vaccination.

The semiotics of language is a fine art. The BBC have as always tailored their language with high skill suiting their raison-etre as the United Kingdom's premiere propaganda outlet. However, the BBC licence fee has been paid by the public to receive a balanced, truthful and insightful coverage of critical world events. This is of course most critical when we are witnessing what many claim to be genocide and ethnic cleansing. The actual events in this summary clearly describe potential war crimes. In the absence of clear reporting, Not On The Beeb has stepped in to edit the language and the key facts down to the core basics... This is how we think their front page should read. SUMMARY - IDR'S INVASION OF GAZA - 3rd November 2023 BBC NEWS TRANSLATED - Israel's military says it has "completed the encirclement of Gaza City" and has only been attacking what they claim are Hamas infrastructures. - However, the UN says four schools-turned-shelters in the Gaza Strip have been attacked in the past 24 hours - The UN's agency for Palestinians, UNRWA, says 20 people have been killed at a school in the Jabalia refugee camp - Schools at the Beach refugee camp & Al Bureij camp were also attacked, with three (children) killed - Unbelievably the UN did not attribute blame for the deaths at the schools. - Israel retaliated after suspiciously dropping part of it's 'iron-wall' defences against Hamas. This resulted in 1400 deaths, mostly of people at an acid party and a Kibutz. Uncharacteristically, the IDR were slow to respond. - IDR claims it is minimising civilian deaths. - Yet over half of the 9,000 civialians killed have been children. Few Hamas deaths have been reported. This is what the BBC actually posted: Source Follow Not On The Beeb for more stuff the BBC forgot....
- TRANSCRIPT OF BRIDGEN'S SPEECH ON EXCESS DEATHS
TRANSCRIPT (scroll to bottom for video of his speech) BRIDGEN We have experienced more excess deaths since July 2021 than in the whole of 2020. Unlike during the pandemic, however, those deaths are not disproportionately of the old. In other words, the excess deaths are striking down people in the prime of life, but no one seems to care. I fear that history will not judge this House kindly. Worse still, in a country supposedly committed to the free and frank exchange of views, it appears that no one cares that no one cares. Well, I care, Mr Deputy Speaker, and I credit those Members in attendance today, who also care. I thank the hon. Member for Lincoln (Karl MᶜCartney) for his support, and I am sorry that he could not attend the debate. It has taken a lot of effort, and more than 20 rejections, to be allowed to raise this topic, but at last we are here to discuss the number of people dying. Nothing could be more serious. Numerous countries are currently gripped in a period of unexpected mortality, and no one wants to talk about it. It is quite normal for death numbers to fluctuate up and down by chance alone, but what we are seeing here is a pattern repeated across countries, and the rise has not let up. PHILIP DAVIES I commend the hon. Member for the tenacious way in which he has battled on this issue; I admire him for that. I wonder where he found the media were in all this. During the covid pandemic, every day the media—particularly the BBC—could not wait to tell us how many people had died on that particular day, without any context for those figures whatsoever, but they seem to have gone strangely quiet over excess deaths now. BRIDGEN I thank the hon. Gentleman for his intervention. He is absolutely right: the media have let the British public down badly. There will be a full press pack going out to all media outlets following my speech, with all the evidence to back up all the claims I will make, but I do not doubt that there will be no mention of it in the mainstream media. One might think that a debate about excess deaths would be full of numbers, but this speech does not contain many numbers, because most of the important numbers are being kept hidden. Other data has been oddly presented in a distorted way, and concerned people seeking to highlight important findings and ask questions have found themselves inexplicably under attack. Before debating excess deaths, it is important to understand how excess deaths are determined. To understand whether there is an excess, by definition, we need to estimate how many deaths would have been expected. The Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development uses 2015 to 2019 as a baseline, and the Government’s Office for Health Improvement and Disparities uses a 2015 to 2019 baseline, modelled to allow for ageing. I have used that data here. Unforgivably, the Office for National Statistics has included deaths in 2021 as part of its baseline calculation for expected deaths, as if there was anything normal about the deaths in 2021. By exaggerating the number of deaths expected, the number of excess deaths can be minimised. Why would the ONS want to do that? There is just too much that we do not know, and it is not good enough. The ONS publishes promptly each week the number of deaths registered. While that is commendable, it is not the data point that really matters. There is a total failure to collect, never mind publish, data on deaths that are referred for investigation to the coroner. Why does that matter? A referral means that it can be many months—or, given the backlog, many years—before a death is formally registered. Needing to investigate the cause of a death is fair enough, but failing to record when the death happened is not. Because of that problem, we have no idea how many people died in 2021, even now. The problem is greatest for the younger age groups, where a higher proportion of deaths are investigated. This data failure is unacceptable and must change. There is nothing in a coroner’s report that can bring anyone back from the dead, and those deaths should be reported. The youngest age groups are important not only because they should have their whole lives ahead of them. If there is a new cause of excess mortality across the board, it would not be noticed so much in the older cohorts, because the extra deaths would be drowned out among the expected deaths. However, in the youngest cohorts, that is not the case. There were nearly two extra deaths a day in the second half of 2021 among 15 to 19-year-old males, but potentially even more if those referred to the coroner were fully included. In a judicial review of the decision to vaccinate yet younger children, the ONS refused in court to give anonymised details about those deaths. It admitted that the data it was withholding was statistically significant. It said: “the ONS recognises that more work could be undertaken to examine the mortality rates of young people in 2021, and intends to do so once more reliable data are available.” How many more extra deaths in 15 to 19-year-olds will it take to trigger such work? Surely the ONS should be desperately keen to investigate deaths in young men. Why else do we have an independent body charged with examining mortality data? Surely the ONS has a responsibility to collect data from coroners to produce timely information. Let us move on to old people. Most deaths in the old are registered promptly, and we have a better feel for how many older people are dying. Deaths from dementia and Alzheimer’s show what we ought to expect: there was a period of high mortality coinciding with covid and lockdowns, but ever since, there have been fewer deaths than expected. After a period of high mortality, we expect and historically have seen a period of low mortality, because those who have sadly died cannot die again. Those whose deaths were slightly premature because of covid and lockdowns died earlier than they otherwise would have. That principle should hold true for every cause of death and every age group, but that is not what we are seeing. Even for the over-85-year-olds, according to the Office for Health Improvement and Disparities, there were 8,000 excess deaths—4% above the expected levels—for the 12 months starting in July 2020. That includes all of the autumn 2020 wave of covid when we had tiering and the second lockdown and all of the first covid winter. However, for the year starting July 2022, there were more than 18,000 excess deaths in this age group—9% above expected levels. That is more than twice as many in a period when there should have been a deficit and when deaths from diseases previously associated with old age were fewer than expected. I have raised my concerns about NG163 and the use of midazolam and morphine, which may have caused—and may still be causing—premature deaths in the vulnerable, but that is, sadly, a debate for another day. There were just over 14,000 excess deaths in the under 65-year-olds before vaccination from April 2020 to the end of March 2021. However, since that time, there have been more than 21,000 excess deaths, ignoring the registration delay problem, and the majority of those deaths—58% of them—were not attributed to covid. We turned society upside down before vaccination for fear of excess deaths from covid, but today we have substantially more excess deaths, and in younger people, and there is a complete eerie silence. The evidence is unequivocal. There was a clear stepwise increase in mortality following the vaccine roll-out. There was a reprieve in the winter of 2021-22 because there were fewer than expected respiratory deaths, but otherwise the excess has been incessantly at this high level. Ambulance data for England provides another clue. Ambulance calls for life- threatening emergencies were running at a steady 2,000 calls a day until the vaccine roll-out. From then, they rose to 2,500 daily, and calls have stayed at that level since. The surveillance systems designed to spot a safety problem have all flashed red, but no one is looking. Claims for personal independence payments from people who have developed a disability and cannot work rocketed with the vaccine roll-out and have continued to rise ever since. The same was seen in the US, which also started with the vaccine roll-out, not with covid. A study to determine the vaccination status of a sample of such claimants would be relatively quick and inexpensive to perform, yet nobody seems interested in ascertaining this vital information. Officials have chosen to turn a blind eye to this disturbing, irrefutable and frightening data, much like Nelson did—and for far less honourable reasons. He would be ashamed of us. Furthermore, data that has been used to sing the praises of the vaccine is deeply flawed. Only one covid-related death was prevented in each of the initial major trials that led to authorisation of the vaccines, and that is taking the data entirely at face value, whereas a growing number of inconsistencies and anomalies suggest that we ought not to do this. Extrapolating from that means that between 15,000 and 20,000 people had to be injected to prevent a single death from covid. To prevent a single covid hospitalisation, more than 1,500 people needed to be injected. The trial data showed that one in 800 injected people had a serious, adverse event, meaning that they were hospitalised or had a life-threatening or life-changing condition. The risk of this was twice as high as the chance of preventing a covid hospitalisation. We are harming one in 800 people to supposedly save one in 20,000. That is madness. The strongest claims have too often been based on modelling carried out on the basis of flawed assumptions. Where observational studies have been carried out, researchers will correct for age and comorbidities to make the vaccines look better. However, they never correct for socioeconomic or ethnic differences as that would make vaccines look worse. That matters. For example, claims of higher mortality in less vaccinated regions of the United States took no account of the fact that this was the case before the vaccines were rolled out. That is why studies that claim to show that the vaccines prevented covid deaths also showed a marked effect of them preventing non-covid deaths. The prevention of non-covid deaths was always a statistical illusion and claims of preventing covid deaths should not be assumed when that illusion has not been corrected for. When it is corrected for, the claims of efficacy for the vaccines vanish with it. Covid disproportionately killed people from ethnic minorities and lower socioeconomic groups during the pandemic. In 2020, deaths among the most deprived were up by 23% compared with 17% for the least deprived. However, since 2022 the pattern has reversed, with 5% excess mortality among the most deprived compared with 7% among the least deprived. These deaths are being caused by something different. In 2020, the excess was highest in the oldest cohorts, and there were fewer than expected deaths among younger age groups. However, since 2022, the 50 to 64-year-old cohort has had the highest excess mortality. Even the youngest age groups are now seeing a substantial excess, with a 9% excess in the under-50s since 2022 compared with 5% in the over-75 group. Despite London being a younger region, the excess in London is only 3%, whereas it is higher in every more heavily vaccinated region of the UK. It should be noted that London is famously the least vaccinated region in the UK by some margin. Studies comparing regions on a larger scale show the same thing. Studies from the Netherlands, Germany and the whole world each show that the highest mortality after vaccination was seen in the most heavily vaccinated regions. So we need to ask: what are people dying of? Since 2022, there has been an 11% excess in ischemic heart disease deaths and a 16% excess in heart failure deaths. In the meantime, cancer deaths are only 1% above expected levels, which is further evidence that this is not simply some other factor that affects deaths across the board, such as failing to account for an ageing population or a failing NHS. In fact, the excess itself has a seasonality, with a peak in the winter months. The fact that it returns to baseline levels in summer is a further indication that this is not due to some statistical error or an ageing population alone. Dr Clare Craig from HART—the Health Advisory & Recovery Team—first highlighted a stepwise increase in cardiac arrest calls after the vaccine roll-out in May 2021. HART has repeatedly raised concerns about the increase in cardiac deaths, and it has every reason to be concerned. Four participants in the vaccine group of the Pfizer trial died from cardiac arrest compared with only one in the placebo group. Overall, there were 21 deaths in the vaccine group up to March 2021, compared with 17 in the placebo group. There are serious anomalies about the reporting of deaths in this trial, with the deaths in the vaccine group taking much longer to report than those in the placebo group. That is highly suggestive of a significant bias in what was supposed to be a blinded trial. An Israeli study clearly showed that an increase in cardiac hospital attendances among 18 to 39-year-olds correlated with vaccination, not with covid. There have now been several post-mortem studies demonstrating a causal link between vaccination and coronary artery disease leading to death up to four months after the last dose. We need to remember that the safety trial was cut short to only two months, so there is no evidence of any vaccine safety beyond that point. The decision to unblind the trials after two months and vaccinate the placebo group is nothing less than a public health scandal. Everyone involved failed in their duty to the truth, but no one cares. The one place that can help us understand exactly what has caused this is Australia, which had almost no covid when vaccines were first introduced, making it the perfect control group. The state of South Australia had only 1,000 cases of covid across its whole population by December 2021, before omicron arrived. What was the impact of vaccination there? For 15 to 44-year-olds, there were historically 1,300 emergency cardiac presentations a month. With the vaccine roll-out to the under-50s, this rocketed to over 2,172 cases in November 2021 in this age group alone, which was 67% more than usual. Overall, 17,900 South Australians had a cardiac emergency in 2021 compared with only 13,250 in 2018, which is a 35% increase. The vaccine must clearly be the No. 1 suspect for this, and it cannot be dismissed as a coincidence. Australian mortality overall has increased from early 2021, and that increase is due to cardiac deaths. These excess deaths are not due to an ageing population, because there are fewer deaths from the diseases of old age. These deaths are not an effect of covid, because they have happened in places that covid had not reached. They are not due to low statin prescriptions or undertreated hypertension, as Chris Whitty would suggest, because prescriptions did not change, and any effect would have taken many years and been very small. The prime suspect must be something that was introduced to the population as a whole, something novel. The prime hypothesis must be the experimental covid-19 vaccines. The ONS published a dataset of deaths by vaccinated and unvaccinated. At first glance, it appears to show that the vaccines are safe and effective. However, there were several huge problems with how it presented that data. One was that for the first three-week period after injection, the ONS claimed that there were only a tiny number of deaths—the number the ONS would normally predict to occur in a single week. Where were the deaths from the usual causes? When that was raised, the ONS claimed that the sickest people did not get vaccinated and therefore the people who were vaccinated were self-selecting for those least likely to die. Not only was that not the case in the real world, with even hospices heavily vaccinating their residents, but the ONS’s own data show that the proportion of sickest people was equal in the vaccinated and the unvaccinated groups. That inevitably raises serious questions about the ONS’s data presentation. There were so many problems with the methodology used by the ONS that the statistics regulator agreed that the ONS data could not be used to assess vaccine efficacy or safety. That tells us something about the ONS. Consequently, HART asked the UK Health Security Agency to provide the data it had on people who had died and therefore needed to be removed from its vaccination dataset. That request has been repeatedly refused, with excuses given including the false claim that anonymising the data would be the equivalent of creating it even though there is case law that anonymisation is not considered the creation of new data. I believe that if this data was released, it would be damning. Some claim that so many lives have been saved by mass vaccination that any amount of harm, suffering and death caused by the vaccines is a price worth paying. They are delusional. The claim of 20 million lives saved is based on now discredited models which assume that covid waves do not peak without intervention. There have been numerous waves globally now that demonstrate that is not the case. It was also based on there having been more than half a million lives saved in the UK. That is more than the worst-case scenario predicted at the beginning of the pandemic. For the claim to have been true, the rate at which covid killed people would have had to take off dramatically at the beginning of 2021 in the absence of vaccination. That is ludicrous and it bears no relation to the truth. In the real world, Australia, New Zealand and South Korea had a mortality rate of 400 deaths per million up to summer 2022 after they were first hit with omicron. How does that compare? With the Wuhan strain, France and Europe as a whole had a mortality rate of under 400 deaths per million up to summer 2020. Australia, New Zealand and South Korea were all heavily vaccinated before infection, so tell me: where was the benefit? The UK had just over 800 deaths per million up to summer 2020, so twice as much, but we know omicron is half as deadly as the Wuhan variant. The death rates per million are the same before and after vaccination, so where were the benefits of vaccination? The regulators have failed in their duty to protect the public. They allowed these novel products to skip crucial safety testing by letting them be described as vaccines. They failed to insist on safety testing being done in the years since the first temporary emergency authorisation. Even now, no one can tell us how much spike protein is produced on vaccination and for how long—yet another example of where there is no data for me to share with the House. When it comes to properly recording deaths due to vaccination, the system is broken. Not a single doctor registered a death from a rare brain clot before doctors in Scandinavia forced the issue and the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency acknowledged the problem. Only then did these deaths start to be certified by doctors in the UK. It turns out the doctors were waiting for permission from the regulator and the regulator was waiting to be alerted by the doctors. This is a lethal circularity. Furthermore, coroners have written regulation 28 reports highlighting deaths from vaccination to prevent further deaths, yet the MHRA said in response to a freedom of information request that it had not received any of them. The systems we have in place are clearly not functioning to protect the public. The regulators also missed the fact that in the Pfizer trial, the vaccine was made for the trial participants in a highly controlled environment, in stark contrast to the manufacturing process used for the public roll-out, which was based on a completely different technology. Just over 200 participants were given the same product that was given to the public, but not only was the data from these people never compared to those in the trial for efficacy and safety but the MHRA has admitted that it dropped the requirement to provide the data. That means that there was never a trial on the Pfizer product that was actually rolled out to the public, and that product has never been compared with the product that was actually trialled. The vaccine mass production processes use vats of Escherichia coli and present a risk of contamination with DNA from the bacteria, as well as bacterial cell walls, which can cause dangerous reactions. This is not theoretical; this is now sound evidence that has been replicated by several labs across the world. The mRNA vaccines were contaminated by DNA, which far exceeded the usual permissible levels. Given that this DNA is enclosed in a lipid nanoparticle delivery system, it is arguable that even the permissible levels would have been far too high. These lipid nanoparticles are known to enter every organ of the body. As well as this potentially causing some of the acute adverse reactions that have been seen, there is a serious risk of this foreign bacterial DNA inserting itself into human DNA. Will anybody investigate? No, they won’t. VIDEO This is MP Andrew Bridgen's speech addressing excess deaths.

- BRIDGEN'S SPEECH ON EXCESS DEATHS TO PARLIAMENT + HIS SPEECH OUTSIDE AFTERWARDS
Yesterday afternoon on the 20th October 2023, British MP Andrew Bridgen made his speech on the international calamity of post-C19 vaccine excess deaths. As we guessed, the speech was delivered to a near-empty house. Simply put, every year about the same number of people as a percentage of the population die. When more people die than normal, we know something is up. This seemingly inconspicuous phrase 'excess deaths' is the evidence behind what will no doubt be proved as humanicide.

- HOMEOPATHY IS EFFECTIVE - STUDY PROVES
Evidence for the effectiveness of homoeopathic treatments is as strong as conventional treatments. A new analysis, published in BMC Systematic Reviews, reviewed six meta-analyses of placebo-controlled randomised efficacy trials of homeopathy for any indication. It found, that contrary to frequent claims, homeopathy has significant positive effects beyond that expected from placebo. The evidence provided by the new study further undermines the continued attacks on homeopathy and shows there's no justification for regulatory or political measures against the practice of homeopathy in mainstream healthcare. QUOTE: "...Download PDF Downloa Methods The inclusion criteria were as follows: MAs of PRETHAIs in humans; all ages, countries, settings, publication languages; and MAs published from 1 Jan. 1990 to 30 Apr. 2023. The exclusion criteria were as follows: systematic reviews without MAs; MAs restricted to age or gender groups, specific indications, or specific homoeopathic treatments; and MAs that did not assess efficacy. We searched 8 electronic databases up to 14 Dec. 2020, with an update search in 6 databases up to 30 April 2023. The primary outcome was the effect estimate for all included trials in each MA and after restricting the sample to trials with high methodological quality, according to predefined criteria. The risk of bias for each MA was assessed by the ROBIS (Risk Of Bias In Systematic reviews) tool. The quality of evidence was assessed by the GRADE framework. Statistical analyses were performed to determine the proportion of MAs showing a significant positive effect of homoeopathy vs. no significant difference. Results Six MAs were included, covering individualised homoeopathy (I-HOM, n = 2), nonindividualised homoeopathy (NI-HOM, n = 1) and all homoeopathy types (ALL-HOM = I-HOM + NI-HOM, n = 3). The MAs comprised between 16 and 110 trials, and the included trials were published from 1943–2014. The median trial sample size ranged from 45 to 97 patients. The risk of bias (low/unclear/high) was rated as low for three MAs and high for three MAs. Effect estimates for all trials in each MA showed a significant positive effect of homoeopathy compared to placebo (5 of 5 MAs, no data in 1 MA). Sensitivity analyses with sample restriction to high-quality trials were available from 4 MAs; the effect remained significant in 3 of the MAs (2 MAs assessed ALL-HOM, 1 MA assessed I-HOM) and was no longer significant in 1 MA (which assessed NI-HOM). Discussion The quality of evidence for positive effects of homoeopathy beyond placebo (high/moderate/low/very low) was high for I-HOM and moderate for ALL-HOM and NI-HOM. There was no support for the alternative hypothesis of no outcome difference between homoeopathy and placebo. The available MAs of PRETHAIs reveal significant positive effects of homoeopathy beyond placebo. This is in accordance with laboratory experiments showing partially replicable effects of homoeopathically potentised preparations in physico-chemical, in vitro, plant-based and animal-based test systems. Systematic review registration PROSPERO CRD42020209661. The protocol for this SR was finalised and submitted on 25 Nov. 2020 and registered on 26 Dec. 2020. Peer Review reports Background and rationale Homoeopathy is a therapy system widely used in Europe, India and other countries [1]. Core features of homoeopathy include drug provings (observation of symptoms occurring in healthy persons exposed to substances of mineral, botanical or zoological origin), simile principle (similarity between symptom patterns in drug provings and the symptoms to be treated with the same substance) and potentization (successive dilution of the homoeopathic substance, with each dilution step involving repeated shaking of liquids or grinding of solids into lactose) [2]. The clinical effects of homoeopathic treatment have been investigated in several hundred randomised controlled trials [3] and in systematic reviews (SRs). Among the SRs, two contrasting approaches can be discerned. One approach is to focus on a specific indication (e.g., depression [4], acute respiratory tract infections in children [5]) while often including open-label trials and observational studies. In this approach, data synthesis is grouped by design, thus yielding information about homoeopathy in patient care. The opposite approach is to include all indications while restricting study designs to placebo-controlled trials and aggregating results in an MAs, thus yielding information about the specific effects of homoeopathy beyond those of placebo. A major reason for using this approach has been the claim that ‘homoeopathy violates natural laws and thus any effect must be a placebo effect’ [6]. Since 1997, at least six MAs of placebo-controlled homoeopathy trials for any condition have been published [6,7,8,9,10,11]. These MAs have differed in their methods for trial inclusion, data synthesis and assessment of risk of bias; furthermore, their results and conclusions have been inconsistent. During this period, there have been substantial advancements in methodology and quality standards for MAs and other SRs [12,13,14,15], including SRs of SRs (also called overviews or umbrella reviews) [16,17,18]. To our knowledge, a formal SR of MAs of randomised placebo-controlled homoeopathy trials for any condition has not been performed. Herein, we report such an SR. Objectives Research questions 1. 2. Methods Eligibility criteria for meta-analyses (MAs) The eligibility criteria are presented in Table 1. Table 1 Eligibility criteria for meta-analyses Full size table Information sources and search strategy Databases We searched eight online databases, including four databases largely or totally restricted to SRs (A–D), two generic databases (E–F) and two databases focused on complementary or alternative therapies (G–H) (Table 2). In addition, one private database (author HJH) was searched. Table 2 Online databases and search strategies Full size table Other sources A list of included MAs was sent to experts in the field to identify any missing eligible MAs or additional analyses of the included MAs. Selection process Screening Two reviewers (HJH, AG) independently searched the online literature databases and screened the titles and abstracts to identify potentially eligible MAs. The reviewers compared their screening results, and discrepancies were resolved by discussion (HJH, AG). Eligibility For the potentially eligible MA records, full-text reports were obtained. Two reviewers (HJH, AG) independently read the full texts and assessed their eligibility in accordance with the eligibility criteria (Table 1). The reviewers compared their eligibility assessments, and discrepancies were resolved by discussion (HJH, AG). Data collection process Two reviewers independently extracted data from the full-text reports into Excel files (HJH + [GSK, HK or AG]) using a piloted data extraction form. Reviewer AG compared the two sets of extracted data. Discrepancies were resolved by discussion (HJH + [GSK, HK or AG]). We extracted and summarised trial-level data from tables of the MAs but did not inspect original trial publications (with one exception, cf. Additional file 2, Section 2.3.1). Indications/diagnoses in individual trials were coded according to the International Classification of Diseases, 10th Edition (ICD-10). If more than one diagnosis was listed, the first listed diagnosis was coded. If two trials or trial comparisons were analysed separately in one MA and analysed together in another MA, they were counted as 3 trials or trial comparisons, respectively. If more than one trial report for the same trial was listed, only one trial report was extracted. Data items All outcomes in the following subsections refer to the combined effect estimate with a measure of precision for the primary clinical outcome reported in each MA (henceforth ‘effect estimate’). Primary outcome Effect estimates for. 1. 2. trials of higher methodological quality (or lower risk of bias), as stated and defined by the authors of the MA based on an assessment of at least three specified components of methodological quality (e.g. concealment of allocation sequence, blinding of outcome assessors) maximum one single high-quality category defined for the respective MA Sensitivity analyses Effect estimates in sensitivity analyses, calculated after restricting the sample based on the methodological quality (risk of bias) of individual trials, as assessed by: individual quality (risk of bias) components such as concealment of allocation sequence, double blinding [blinding of participants, study personnel and outcome assessors], risk of outcome reporting bias, peer-reviewed trial publication the criterion ‘high-quality trials’ (as in Item 2 above) + one or several additional quality components other combination of quality components, grouped by total number of components in the respective analysis: 2–4 or ≥ 5 cumulative MAs with stepwise removal of trials by risk-of-bias ratings, conceptualised in a hierarchical order by the authors of the respective MA (e.g. ascending numbers in a numeric scale or ‘poor’, ‘fair’, ‘good’) Supplementary analyses addressing meta-bias Effect estimates in supplementary analyses based on assumed risk of bias across trials (meta-bias): Statistical adjustment for possible publication bias/small study bias Sensitivity analyses, with restrictions of included trials, based on trial sample size Analyses addressing possible outcome reporting bias Combined analyses Effect estimates in analyses combining features of Sections 'Sensitivity analyses' and 'Supplementary analyses addressing meta-bias' above. Subgroup analyses With regard to research question 2, five types of trial subgroups in the respective MAs (A.1–5) were examined. The subgroup analyses had four types of results (B.1–4), and they were grouped by the timing of the analysis (C.1–2): A. 1 a b c d e 2 3 4 5 a b B. 1 2 3 4 C. 1 2 Other variables Other variables collected from the MAs are listed in Suppl. Table 1. Assessment of risk of bias in the included MAs Risk of bias/methodological quality of the MA was assessed using the ROBIS tool (Risk of Bias in Systematic Reviews) [13], supplemented with items 7, 10 and 16 from the AMSTAR-2 tool (A MeaSurement Tool to Assess systematic Reviews) [14], which are not addressed in ROBIS. Assessments were performed independently by two reviewers (HJH, GSK); discrepancies were resolved by discussion between the reviewers. The outcome of these assessments was the composite body of reports, comprising. 1 2 3 Effect measures Effect estimates of each MA (cf. Section 'Outcomes', above) were reported using the metric reported in the MA (e.g., odds ratio [OR], standardised mean difference [SMD]). Standardised mean differences for homoeopathy vs. placebo were reported with point estimates > 0 indicating a benefit of homoeopathy. Synthesis methods Effect estimates were summarised in table format and classified as follows: 1 2 3 If both fixed effects and random effects models had been used for the same analysis, the results from random effects models were used for the data synthesis herein. Meta-bias assessment See Sections 'Supplementary analyses addressing meta-bias' and 'Combined analyses', above. Confidence in cumulative evidence/certainty assessment Confidence in cumulative evidence for the two research questions (Sect. Research questions) was assessed. For question 1, the conceptual framework of the Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development and Evaluation (GRADE) group [20] was used, with a focus on six issues: risk of bias of individual trials [21], inconsistency/heterogeneity [22], risk of publication bias/small study bias [23], imprecision [24], indirectness [25] and occasions for rating up the quality of evidence [26]. For question 2, results of subgroup and heterogeneity [22] analyses were used. Results Identification, screening and inclusion of meta-analyses From the eight online databases, we identified 293 literature records of potentially eligible meta-analyses (search completed on 14 Dec. 2020). After the removal of 82 duplicates, 211 records were screened, of which 191 were excluded and 20 were further assessed for eligibility. In addition, searches in the database of reviewer HH (20 Jan. 2021 + addition of Gartlehner 2022 on 04 July 2022, cf. Section 'Additional data: Gartlehner 2022') and letters to experts (sent 10 Feb. 2021) yielded a total of 9 nonduplicate records that were also assessed for eligibility. Thus, 29 full-text reports were assessed for eligibility, of which 13 were excluded. Thus, 16 reports of 6 different MAs were included (PRISMA 2020 [27] flow diagram, cf. Fig. 1). Fig. 1 PRISMA 2020 flow diagram for new systematic review which included searches of databases, registers and other sources Full size image By 30 April 2023, a period of 30 months had passed after the end of the report time frame according to the original eligibility criteria (reports published up to 31 Oct. 2020). We therefore conducted an updated search of reports published in the period from 01 Nov. 2020 to 30 April 2023. We searched databases A–C, E, G–H (Table 2; D was no longer available, and F was omitted for budget reasons, having yielded no nonduplicate records in the primary search) and the database of reviewer HJH. The updated search yielded 13 records, of which 11 were excluded and 2 were assessed for eligibility. Of these, 1 report had already been included on 04 July 2022 (Gartlehner 2022 cf. Section 'Additional data: Gartlehner 2022'), and 1 was excluded (PRISMA 2020 flow diagram for the update in Additional file 4). A list of the 14 excluded publications (original search: n = 13, update n = 1) with reasons for exclusions is presented in Suppl. Table 2. The 16 reports consisted of 6 primary publications of one [6,7,8, 10, 11] or two [9] MAs, 2 published MA protocols [28, 29], 7 publications of additional analyses [3, 30,31,32,33,34] and 1 error correction [35] (Table 3). Table 3 Overview of included meta-analyses and publications Full size table Description of meta-analyses Chronological overview The six MAs were published in the period 1997–2017. The two first (Linde 1997 [6] and 1998 [7]) and the two most recent (Mathie 2014 [10] and 2017 [11]) MAs were MA ‘pairs’, i.e. they were conducted and published by the same first author with overlapping co-authorships. The other two MAs (Cucherat 2000 [8], Shang 2005 [9]) were published by different author groups. The MA conducted by Linde (1997) [6] was the first MA of placebo-controlled homoeopathy trials for any condition worldwide. The primary publication was followed by a detailed assessment of the relation between study quality (risk of bias) and effect estimates (Linde 1999) [30]. The MA conducted by Linde (1998) [7] was an updated subgroup analysis of Linde (1997) [6], restricted to I-HOM. The MA conducted by Cucherat (2000) [8] originated from a homoeopathy report prepared for the European Parliament by the Homoeopathic Medicine Research Group (Boissel 1996) [31]. Compared to the Boissel report, the MA conducted by Cucherat [8] had modifications in some analyses. We considered this MA the definitive work, but we also consulted the Boissel report as an additional source of details on the methods and conduct of the MA. The MA conducted by Shang [9] was designed as a prospective comparison of two MAs of placebo-controlled trials: one MA of any type of homoeopathic treatment for any disorder and one MA with matched trials on conventional treatment. According to the protocol for the present SR [37], the results of the latter MA were beyond the scope of this SR. However, the authors of the MA conducted by Shang [9] used the results of the MA on conventional treatment to draw inferences about the homoeopathy MA results. We therefore included comparative data on the two MAs (presented in Additional file 2). The MAs conducted by Mathie (2014, 2017) [10, 11] were part of a comprehensive MA program (Mathie 2013) [3], covering placebo-controlled trials of individualised [10] and nonindividualised [11] homoeopathy, respectively. Methods of the meta-analyses Research objective or hypothesis The main research objective concerned the efficacy of homoeopathic products vs. placebo in all six MAs: generally stated [7, 8] or in terms of outcome difference between homoeopathy and placebo [6, 10, 11] (full text excerpts in Suppl. Table 3). In the MA conducted by Shang [9], the research hypothesis was further specified: ‘We assumed that the effects observed in placebo-controlled trials of homoeopathy could be explained by a combination of methodological deficiencies and biased reporting’ (Discussion, p.730). Eligibility criteria Design, publication types In all six MAs, parallel group randomised trials were included, while crossover trials were excluded from four MAs [6, 9,10,11], included in the MA conducted by Linde (1998) [7] and not mentioned in the MA conducted by Cucherat [8]. Four MAs had no restrictions regarding publication format, while two (Mathie 2014 and 2017) [10, 11] were restricted to peer-reviewed journal articles of at least 500 words (Suppl. Table 4). Patients and indications Restriction to disease groups as such was not applied in any MA (Suppl. Table 5). Notably, in the MA conducted by Shang [9], the homoeopathy trials were compared to placebo-controlled trials of interventions used in conventional medicine, matched for indication. For 94.0% (n = 110/117) of otherwise eligible homoeopathy trials, a trial of conventional medicine for the respective indication could be found, while 7 unmatchable homoeopathy trials were excluded. Interventions, comparators In the MAs conducted by Mathie (2014 and 2017) [10, 11], the homoeopathic intervention types were restricted as follows: radionically prepared medicines, anthroposophic medicine, homotoxicology, and homoeopathy combined with other (complementary or conventional) treatments were excluded (Suppl. Table 6). Other In the meta-analysis conducted by Cucherat [8], ‘only trials with a clearly defined primary outcome’ were included (Suppl. Table 7). Literature search and inclusion, data extraction and analysis For all six MAs, previously published MAs or SRs [38] were consulted. Between 4 [6] and 19 [9] online databases were researched. For all MAs, experts in the field were contacted for information on additional trials; manual searches of reference lists were used in five MAs but not in the MA conducted by Linde (1998) [7], which was largely an update on their previous MA from 1997 (Suppl. Table 8). Screening of titles and abstracts was performed independently by two reviewers in the MA conducted by Linde (1997) [6] and by one reviewer in the MA conducted by Cucherat [8]. The screening approach was not reported in the four other MAs. Full-text assessments were performed independently by two persons in the MA conducted by Linde (1997) [6]; by one person and checked in part by another person in the MA conducted by Cucherat [8]; and by one person in the MA conducted by Linde (1998) [7]. The full text assessment approach was not reported in three MAs. Data extraction was performed independently by two persons in five MAs and by one person in the MA conducted by Linde (1998 [7]). Risk of bias assessments were performed independently by two persons in three MAs [6, 10, 11] and by one person in the MA conducted by Linde (1998 [7]). The number of persons performing risk of bias assessment was not reported in two MAs. Lists of excluded trials were available in three MAs [9,10,11]. The reasons for exclusion of trials were provided in all MAs except the one conducted by Linde (1998) [7] (Table 4). Table 4 Quality of trial data handling Full size table All six MAs used one main clinical outcome for each trial or trial comparison. For the MA conducted by Cucherat [8], this was the primary outcome as reported in the trials (cf. Section 'Eligibility criteria', above); for the other MAs, a predefined hierarchical list of criteria for extraction of the main outcome was used (Suppl. Table 9). Protocol For two MAs (Mathie 2014 and 2017) [10, 11], a prepublished protocol was available; for two MAs (Linde 1997. Cucherat [6, 8]), a protocol was referred to in the publication; and for two MAs (Linde 1998, Shang 2005 [7, 9]), a protocol was not mentioned in the publication, while one single design criterion (outcome extraction in both cases) was explicitly stated as predefined. Risk of bias assessment, heterogeneity, meta-bias High-quality trials High-quality trials according to our criteria (cf. Section 'Data items' / 'Primary outcome', above) were performed in four MAs [6, 9,10,11]. The criteria for high-quality trials were described as predefined (Linde 1997) [6] or fully (Mathie 2017) [11] or partially (Mathie 2014) [10] defined in a prepublished protocol. One MA did not mention this aspect (Shang [9]). The criteria for high-quality trials were as follows: The MA conducted by Linde (1997) [6] used a combination of two score-based instruments: Jadad score [39] (range 0–5 points, thereof 0, 1 or 2 points each for items no. 1 and 3 and 0–1 point for item 11 in Table 5): ≥ 3 points Internal validity scale [30] (range 0–7 points, thereof 0, 0.5 or 1 point each for items 1–2, 4–7 and 11 in Table 5): ≥ 5 points Table 5 Criteria for high-quality trials Full size table The instruments used in the following MAs consisted of sets of mandatory criteria, all of which were to be fulfilled. The MAs conducted by Mathie (2014 and 2017) [10, 11] used the Cochrane risk-of-bias tool (RoB, version 2011) [40]: low risk of bias for items 1–2 and 4–5 in Table 5, low risk for two of the three items 8 and 12–13 and low or uncertain risk for one of the latter four items. In the MA conducted by Shang [9], the number of quality components used was variously described as 3 or 4, corresponding to fulfilment of items (1–3) or (1–3 + 10) in Table 5. Lüdtke [32] interpreted Shang [9] as having used 3 components (Suppl. Table 29). Details in support of either 3 or 4 components are presented in Suppl. Table 11. The high-quality criteria were based on 8 [6], 7 [10, 11] and either 3 or 4 quality components [9] (Table 5). Risk of bias (methodological quality) otherwise The total number of methodological quality components assessed in each MA (including components of high-quality criteria as well as other components) ranged from 3 [8] to 10 [6, 7], details in Suppl. Table 12. Associations between quality components and outcome were analysed with hypothesis testing in four MAs (not in the MA conducted by Linde (1998) [7] and Cucherat [8]). Cumulative MA with stepwise removal of trials according to increasing quality categories was performed in four MAs using interval-scaled [7, 10, 11] or rank-ordered [8] categories. Of the two other MAs, one [7] had outcome analysis in 4 ranked quality subgroups instead of cumulative MA. Statistical heterogeneity testing was performed in four MAs (not in the MAs conducted by Linde (1998) [7] and Cucherat [8]); all but one MA [7] included an assessment of publication bias/small study bias (Suppl. Table 14). Potential conflicts of interest were stated and explained for at least one author in two MAs (Mathie 2014 and 2017) [10, 11]; a statement of no conflicts of interest for any author was included in one MA (Shang) [9], while this issue was not addressed in the three other MAs. Trial characteristics Number of trials, trial comparisons and trial reports For each MA, between 150 and 359 full-text records were assessed for eligibility (data available for four MAs) and between 16 and 119 trials were eligible for SR, including 16–110 trials with extractable data for MA. Altogether, 182 different trials (or in some cases, trial comparisons) reported in 165 different publications or other trial reports were included in the 6 MAs. Of these, n = 88 trials were included in 1 MA, 65 trials in 2 MA, 24 trials in 3 MA and 5 trials in 4 MA, with a total of 310 trials or trial comparisons (Suppl. Table 15). All following descriptions refer to these 310 trials. Availability of descriptive data Summary descriptive data on 12 different trial properties (excluding design, trial quality and results) were presented, ranging from 3 [8] to 9 [7] items per MA (Suppl. Table 16). All six MAs had at least one table with characteristics of individual trials. A total of 38 different items were presented (or summarily stated as present/absent in all trials), ranging from 8 (Shang [9]) to 33 items (Mathie 2017 [11]) per MA (Suppl. Table 17). The most frequently reported items were as follows: first author, number of patients, indication (brief), intervention in homoeopathy group, outcome, summarised rating of methodological quality (presented in n = 6 MA) indication group, graphical display of effect size with 95% confidence interval (n = 5 MA) Descriptive data The trials were published in the period 1943–2014 (Table 6). The median trial sample size per trial was in the range of 45–97 patients with a minimum sample size of 5–28 and a maximum size of 175–1573 patients. The trials of each MA had been performed in 11–15 countries (data available for four MAs). The countries where each trial was performed was reported in three MAs [7, 10, 11]; the most common countries were the UK (n = 18 trials among the three MAs, multiple responses possible), Germany (n = 17), USA (n = 9) and France and India (both with n = 6 trials) (Suppl. Table 18). The most common languages of trial publications were English (range 39–95% of trials), German (5–29%) and French (0–28%) (Table 6). Table 6 Literature searches, characteristics of trials with extractable data for meta-analysis Full size table Data on age groups and gender were available in three MAs [7, 10, 11] with a total of 94 trials (multiple responses possible). A total of 14.9% (n = 14/94) of all trials included children only, 55.3% (n = 52) included adults only and 29.8% (n = 28) included both adults and children or unknown. A total of 14.9% (n = 14/94) of trials included only females; 2.1% (n = 2) of trials included only males; and 83.0% (n = 78) of trials included both genders or did not report these data (data on individual MAs in Suppl. Table 19). Indications for all 310 trials (multiple responses possible) were coded according to ICD-10: The most frequent ICD-10 Diagnosis chapters were J00-J99 Diseases of the respiratory system (24.5%, n = 76/310), S00-T98 Injury, poisoning and certain other consequences of external causes (11.9%, n = 37), K00-K93 Diseases of the digestive system (11.0%, n = 34) and M00-M99 Diseases of the musculoskeletal system and connective tissue (8.7%, n = 27) (Suppl. Table 20). The most frequent ICD-10 three-digit diagnoses were J30 Vasomotor and allergic rhinitis (7.1%, n = 22/310), J11 Influenza, virus not identified (4.8%, n = 15), J06 Acute upper respiratory infections of multiple and unspecified sites (4.2%, n = 13) and K91 postprocedural disorders of digestive system, not elsewhere classified [postoperative ileus] (4.2%, n = 13) (Suppl. Table 21). Interventions, results The intervention was I-HOM in all trials for 2 MAs [7, 10] and in 0–18% of trials of the four other MAs. In these four MAs, the NI-HOM intervention was clinical homoeopathy in 44–71% of trials, complex homoeopathy in 6–44% (Mathie 2017 [11]: including ‘combination products’) and isopathy in 6–13% (Table 7). The homoeopathic products used were high potencies only (≥ C12 or ≥ D24) in 29–39% of trials. Table 7 Interventions, metric of main outcome, trial resultsa Full size table The main outcome was binary in 43–89% of trials. The main outcome analysis showed a significant positive effect of homoeopathy compared to placebo in 14–65% (weighted mean 36.5% (n = 113 of 310 trials), a nonsignificant superiority of homoeopathy in 18–55% (weighted mean 44.2%), a nonsignificant superiority of placebo in 16–32% (mean 19.0%) and a significant positive effect of placebo compared to homoeopathy in 0–1% (0.3%, n = 1 trial) (Table 7). Assessments of bias and heterogeneity Risk of bias (methodological quality) of trials Overview of methodological quality components For 10 different methodological quality components, the number of trials fulfilling the respective criterion was assessed in at least two MAs, with a total of 43 analyses (Table 8, components 1–10). Fulfilment rates ranged from 17% (allocation concealment adequate in the MAs conducted by Mathie (2017) [11]) to 100% (8 cases); 44% (n = 19/43) of analyses showed a fulfilment rate of ≥ 50%. Weighted mean fulfilment rates for each of the 10 components (multiple responses possible, as trials could be included in more than one MA) ranged from 20% (no funding-related vested interests in the MAs conducted by Mathie (2014) [10] and (2017) [11]) to 89% (publication format = journal article in all six MAs). Three components (journal article, double blinding adequate, no selective outcome reporting) had weighted average fulfilment rates above 75%. Table 8 Risk of bias (methodological quality) of trials: criteria used in ≥ 2 meta-analyses Full size table Outcome reporting bias In the MA conducted by Linde (1997) [6], 23.6% (n = 21/89) of trials had a predefined primary outcome (effect estimate after sample restriction to these trials reported in Suppl. Table 28). In the MA conducted by Cucherat [8], only trials with one single ‘clearly defined’ primary outcome were eligible. In the MAs conducted by Mathie (2014 and 2017) [10, 11], the risk of outcome reporting bias was assessed in Domain V of the Cochrane RoB tool by comparison of the results section with the protocol or, if no protocol was available, with the methods section of publications. In the MA conducted by Mathie (2014) [10], freedom from risk of outcome reporting bias was rated as ‘yes’ in 86.4% (n = 19/22) of trials in the MA, ‘uncertain’ in 4.5% (n = 1) and ‘no’ in 9.1% (n = 2). In the MA conducted by Mathie (2017) [11], the corresponding ratings were ‘yes’ in 74.1% (n = 40/54) of the trials in the MA, ‘uncertain’ in 9.3% (n = 5) and ‘no’ in 16.7% (n = 9) (Table 8, component no. 5). Effect estimates for the 19 and 40 ‘yes’-rated trials, respectively, were not published. High-quality trials The proportion of high-quality trials ranged from 6% (n = 3/54) of trials analysed by Mathie (2017) [11] to 29% (n = 26/89) of trials analysed by Linde (1997) [6] (Table 8). Notably, the criteria for ‘high quality’ differed widely among the MAs: High quality (named ‘reliable evidence’) in the MAs conducted by Mathie (2014 and 2017) [10, 11] approximately corresponds to an internal validity scale of 6.5 points or higher in the MA conducted by Linde (1997) [6], which was fulfilled by 8% (n = 7/89) trials in the MA conducted by Linde (1997) [6], while 29% fulfilled the high-quality criteria of the authors for Linde (1997) [6]. If the high-quality criteria in the MAs conducted by Mathie (2014 and 2017) [10, 11] had been restricted to the quality components 1–3 in Table 8 (corresponding to the 3-component model in Shang), the proportion of high-quality trials had been 23% instead of 14% of trials in the MA conducted by Mathie (2014) [10] and 11% instead of 6% in the MA conducted by Mathie (2017) [11]. When applying the same criteria to the MA conducted by Cucherat [8] (which did not have a ‘high-quality trial’ assessment as defined in this SR), they would be fulfilled for 94% of trials. For the three MAs using a set of mandatory criteria for ‘high-quality’ (Shang with 3 or 4 criteria; Mathie (2014) [10] and (2017) [11] with 7 criteria each), methodological quality was compared with the quality of other trials, assessed according to identical criteria: Shang [9] included such a comparison: Among 110 HOM and 110 CON trials, matched for diagnosis and outcome type, the proportion of high-quality trials was significantly higher among HOM trials (19.1%, n = 21/110) than for CON trials (8.2%, n = 9/110), (p = 0.0294) (Additional file 2). Mathie [10, 11] used the Cochrane RoB tool (2011 version) with 6 standardised criteria and 1 nonstandardised item ‘other sources of bias’, which was omitted from the subsequent RoB version 2 [41]. In an evaluation of this instrument, the methodological quality of randomised trials in 100 Cochrane SRs and 18 non-Cochrane SRs published at the end of 2014 was summarised using the 6 standardised criteria. The two SRs conducted by Mathie ([10, 11], including trials eligible for SR but not for MA) and the Cochrane SRs had similar proportions of randomised trials rated as having low (A: 3–6%), uncertain (B: 33–38%) and high (C: 59–61%) risk of bias, respectively, while the non-Cochrane SRs had comparatively more trials with uncertain risk (53%) and fewer trials with high risk (41%) [42] (Table 9). Heterogeneity Heterogeneity in the full sample Significant statistical heterogeneity across trials was found in 3 MAs [6, 9, 11, 30] and was not found in 1 MA (Mathie 2014) [10], while heterogeneity was not assessed in 2 MAs [7, 8] (Suppl. Table 23). Notably, in the MA conducted by Cucherat [8], the likelihood of statistical heterogeneity because of clinical heterogeneity was stated as a major reason for choosing p value combination instead of meta-analytic effect estimation. Heterogeneity after sample restriction or ‘trim-and-fill’ In the MA conducted by Linde (1997/1999) [6, 30], heterogeneity was τ-squared 0.43 in the full sample (n = 89 trials). After sample restriction to trials with higher methodological quality, heterogeneity was reduced in 6 of 7 univariate analyses, with τ-squared ranging from 0.31 for double-blind trials (n = 81) to 0.41 for explicitly randomised trials (n = 64). In one multivariate analysis, heterogeneity was reduced to τ-squared = 0.28 for explicitly randomised trials (Suppl. Table 23). In the MA conducted by Mathie (2017) [11], heterogeneity (I-squared 65%) was not reduced after the ‘trim-and-fill’ procedure for funnel plot asymmetry (FPA, I-squared 79%). Nonreporting bias, small study bias Unavailable trials Extensive searches for potentially eligible trials were performed for five MAs (not Linde 1998) [7], and unpublished trials were eligible for three MAs [6, 8, 9] but not for the two MAs conducted by Mathie [10, 11]. Data on unavailable trials were reported for three MAs: Linde (1997) [6]: The authors assumed that 15–30 unpublished trials that they could not obtain might exist, but did not present any quantitative findings supporting this assumption. Cucherat [8]: The authors identified 1 unpublished trial, for which data were protected by industrial property protection laws and hence unavailable. Shang [9]: The authors reported 9 unavailable trial reports, thereof 5 journal articles in English (n = 2) and Spanish (n = 3) language, respectively, and 4 conference proceedings in English language. Of these nine reports, one journal article had been misclassified, as it was actually a case of multiple publication (Straumsheim 1997, included in the MA conducted by Shang [9] as homoeopathy trial No. 87), three journal articles were listed in Mathie (2013) [3] as placebo-controlled trials but not eligible for the MAs conducted by Mathie (2014) [10] (n = 2) and Mathie (2017) [11] (n = 1), respectively, because they had not been published in a peer-review journal. One conference proceeding (Lara-Marquez 1997) was included in the SR performed by Linde (1998) [7] but not in the respective MA, as it was only available as an abstract (Suppl. Table 24). Unidentified trials Mathie (2013) [3] identified the following: 25 trial reports (2 peer-reviewed, 23 not peer-reviewed) potentially eligible for inclusion in the MA conducted by Linde (1997) [6] but not listed therein, 41 trial reports (14 peer-reviewed, 27 not peer-reviewed) potentially eligible for the MA conducted by Shang [9] but not listed therein. Funnel plot, full sample Funnel plot inspection was performed in four MAs. Funnel plots were constructed by plotting the effect estimate for each trial—expressed as the log odds ratio [6, 9, 10] or standardised mean difference (Mathie 2017 [11])—against the standard error. In three MAs [6, 9, 11], FPA was found, with trials with higher standard error having larger effects. In one MA (Mathie 2014 [10]), the funnel plot was symmetric. Egger’s test was significant in the first three MAs but not in the MA conducted by Mathie (2014) [10] (Suppl. Table 25). Trim-and-fill tests were performed in three MAs [6, 8, 11]. Random effects and nonparametric selection models to assess possible missing trials were used in the MA conducted by Linde (1997) [6]. Under different conditions, the number of fictive additional trials with zero effect required to change results from a significant to a nonsignificant superiority of homoeopathy ranged from 11 (Mathie (2017) [11]) to 4511 (Linde (1997) [6], fixed effects model) (Suppl. Table 26). Funnel plot, trials with higher quality Sterne (2001) [36] constructed a funnel plot of n = 34 trials with ‘adequate concealment’ + ‘double-blinding’ from the MA conducted by Linde (1997) [6] (not the n = 26 high-quality trials according to Linde (1997) [6]). On inspection, FPA was found, and the corresponding tests were significant (rank correlation: p = 0.014; regression: p < 0.001). Lüdtke (2008) [32] constructed a funnel plot of the 21 high-quality trials analysed by Shang [9] by plotting the log odds ratio against the standard error. The plot showed a cluster of 18 largely symmetric trials and 3 extreme outliers, with 2 strongly favouring homoeopathy and 1 strongly favouring placebo. Egger’s test showed a large but not significant FPA (asymmetry coefficient 0.40, p = 0.17); this was also the case for the 8 largest high-quality trials (1.15, p = 0.94, funnel plot not shown) [32] (Suppl. Table 25). Associations between methodological quality and effect estimates Associations between methodological quality or other subgroups and effect estimates were analysed in 4 MAs (Linde 1997 [6], Shang [9], Mathie 2014 [10] and 2017 [11], Suppl. Table 27). Linde (1997 [6] and 1999 [30]): The authors analysed uni- and multivariate associations between four single quality components and the effect estimate and found significant associations for ‘double blinding’ (uni- and multivariate) and ‘explicitly randomised’ (multivariate) but not for ‘adequate concealment of random allocation’ nor ‘complete follow-up’ (neither uni- nor multivariate). Univariate analyses showed significant associations between three composite quality measures (A: Jadad scale > 2; B: Internal validity score > 4.5; C: A and B) and effect estimate. On the other hand, scatter plots of the Jadad scale and internal validity score against odds ratios showed no clear linear relationships (Suppl. Table 27). Linde (1997) [6] / Sterne [36]: The authors analysed uni- and multivariate associations between ‘English language publication’ and ‘Medline-indexed publication’, respectively, and effect estimates: two of four analyses showed significant associations (‘English language’, univariate + ‘Medline-indexed’, multivariate Suppl. Table 27). Shang [9] analysed univariate associations between six single quality components and effect estimates, and significant associations were found for three (‘Medline-indexed’, ‘double-blinding’, ‘adequate generation of allocation sequence’). Likewise, a significant association was found for high-quality trials (Suppl. Table 27). In multivariate analyses, as summarised by the authors ‘the standard error of the log odds ratio (asymmetry coefficient) was the dominant variable. Coefficients of other variables, including study quality, were attenuated and became non-significant’ (Shang [9], pp.929-930). The MAs conducted by Mathie (2014 [10] and 2017 [11]) revealed no significant associations between ‘publication free of vested interest’ and effect estimates (both MAs, Suppl. Table 27). Risk of bias of meta-analyses ROBIS According to our ROBIS [13] assessments, the risk of bias was low in three MAs (Linde 1997, Mathie 2014 & 2017 [6, 10, 11]) and high in three MAs (Linde 1998, Cucherat, Shang [7,8,9]) (Table 10). ROBIS assessments of each MA with our comments on individual items are presented in Additional file 1. Table 10 Risk of bias of meta-analyses: ROBIS assessments of individual items, domains and overall risk Full size table AMSTAR AMSTAR [14] items 7 (list of excluded studies), 10 (funding sources for included studies) and 16 (conflict of interest of review authors) received the poorest ratings possible (0) for the first three MAs (Linde 1997 & 1998, Cucherat [6,7,8]) and the best ratings possible (1 or 2) in the most recent MAs (Mathie 2014 [10] and 2017 [11]). The MA conducted by Shang [9] had two ‘0’ ratings and one ‘1’ (0–2 possible) (Table 11). Table 11 Risk of bias of meta-analyses: AMSTAR items 7, 10, 16 Full size table Primary outcome of this systematic review All trials with extractable data for meta-analysis Effect estimates—or for the MA conducted by Cucherat [8]: combined p values—for all trials with extractable data were reported in five MAs (not from Shang [9]). All analyses showed a significant positive effect of homoeopathy compared to placebo (Table 12). Sample restriction to high-quality trials Effect estimates for high-quality trials Data items / Primary outcome were available for four MAs (not for the MAs conducted by Linde (1998) [7] and Cucherat [8]). Three MAs (Linde 1997, Shang/Lüdtke, Mathie 2014 [6, 9, 10, 32]) showed a significant positive effect of homoeopathy compared to placebo, and one MA (Mathie 2017) [11] showed no significant difference between homoeopathy and placebo (Table 12). Table 12 Primary outcomes of systematic review: effect estimates for all trials and for high-quality trials Full size table Secondary outcomes Sensitivity analyses: Sample restriction to trials fulfilling quality criteria Sample restriction to trials fulfilling 1 quality criterion Sensitivity analyses with sample restriction to trials fulfilling 1 quality criterion were reported in four MAs [6, 7, 10, 11], with a total of 12 analyses based on 7 different single quality components (‘explicitly randomised’, ‘adequate concealment of random allocation’, ‘double-blinding stated’, ‘follow-up adequate/complete’, ‘main outcome predefined’, ‘Medline-listed’, ‘free of [funding-related] vested interest’). Of the 12 analyses, 11 showed a significant positive effect of homoeopathy compared to placebo (Suppl. Table 28). Sample restriction regarding 2–4 quality components Sensitivity analyses with sample restriction regarding 2–4 quality components were reported in 3 MAs. In the MA conducted by Linde (1997) [6], trials with a Jadad score > 2 had a significant positive effect of homoeopathy. In the MA conducted by Linde (1998) [7], the effect estimate for trials fulfilling 3 criteria (Medline-indexed + double-blind + “no other obvious relevant flaws”) did not differ significantly from placebo. In the MA conducted by Shang [9] and analysed by Lüdtke [32], the effect estimates for high-quality trials (interpreted as based on 3 components) fulfilling one additional criterion (Medline-listed, English language, Intention-to-treat principle, respectively) analysed with random-effects or meta-regression did not differ significantly from placebo (Suppl. Table 29). Sample restriction regarding ≥ 5 quality components Sensitivity analyses with sample restriction regarding 5 or more quality components were reported in 3 MAs with one analysis each. In the MA conducted by Linde (1997) [6], trials with an internal validity score > 4.5 (n = 7 components) had a significant positive effect of homoeopathy. In the MAs conducted by Mathie (2014 and 2017) [10, 11], high-quality trials and A- and B-rated trials (trials rated as having low or uncertain risk of bias in all seven domains of Cochrane RoB), respectively, both sets in addition rated as free from publication-rated vested interests (n = 8 components each) showed no significant effect differences between homoeopathy and placebo (Suppl. Table 29). Cumulative MA with stepwise removal of trials by risk-of-bias ratings Cumulative MA with stepwise removal of trials by risk-of-bias ratings was performed in four MAs, including three (Linde 1997/1999, Mathie 2014 and 2017 [6, 7, 10, 11]) using incremental removal according to interval-scaled instruments and one (Cucherat [8]) using a rank-ordered scale. The scales used by Linde (1997/1999 [6, 30]) were additive (sum of score points), while the remaining scales were in part [10, 11] or fully [8] hierarchically constructed. In the MA conducted by Linde (1997/1999) [6, 30], two cumulative MAs were performed: (1) For the Jadad score (range 0–5, 5 points indicating highest possible quality), a significant positive effect of homoeopathy was retained with a score of 5 points (n = 10 trials). For the internal validity score (range 1–7, 7.0 points indicating highest possible quality), significant positive effects of homoeopathy were retained up to 6.5 points (n = 7 trials), while no significant difference was observed for 7.0 points (n = 5 trials) (Suppl. Table 31). In the MA conducted by Cucherat [8], a cumulative MA was performed using a rank-ordered scale, with step 4 indicating the highest possible quality assessed by the authors. Significant positive effects of homoeopathy were retained up to step 3 (double-blind + dropout rate < 10%, n = 9 trials), while no significant difference was observed at step 4 (double-blind + dropout rate < 5%, n = 5 trials) (Suppl. Table 33). In the MAs conducted by Mathie (2013/2014 [10, 28] and Mathie (2017) [11]), one cumulative MA was performed based on the Cochrane RoB tool (2011 version), with 7 items for which the risk of bias was rated as low (A), uncertain (B) or high (C). Trials with 7 × A were rated A, trials with 7x (A or B) were rated as B and trials with ≥ 1 × C were rated as C. In addition to this hierarchical classification, Mathie counted the number of A- and B-rated items for each trial, allowing for a more differentiated assessment. In the MA conducted by Mathie (2014) [10], significant positive effects of homoeopathy were retained throughout the range up to high-quality trials (criteria in Sect. 3.2.2.5, n = 3 trials) (Suppl. Table 31). In the MA conducted by Mathie (2017) [11], significant positive effects of homoeopathy were retained up to two steps below high-quality trials (n = 14 trials), while no significant difference was observed at one step below high-quality trials (n = 13 trials) (Suppl. Table 32). Supplementary analyses: risk of bias across trials (meta-bias) Statistical adjustment for possible publication bias or other small trial effects Statistical adjustment for possible publication bias or small trial bias—without any additional sensitivity analysis—was performed for two MAs (Linde 1997, Mathie 2017 [6, 11]). In both cases, a significant positive effect of homoeopathy was retained after adjustment (Suppl. Table 34). Sensitivity analyses with sample restriction to trials with a higher sample size Sample restriction to trials with a higher sample size—without any additional sensitivity analysis—was performed for two MAs (Mathie 2014 and 2017) [10, 11]. In both cases, the sample was restricted to trials with a sample size above the median, and in both cases, a significant positive effect of homoeopathy was retained (Suppl. Table 30). Combined sensitivity analyses Sample restriction regarding methodological quality + restriction to trials with a higher sample size was performed in two MAs (Shang [9]: high-quality trials + “large” trials; Mathie (2017) [11]: A- and B-rated trials + sample size above the median for all trials). In both cases, no significant difference between homoeopathy and placebo was observed (Suppl. Table 35). Lüdtke [32] performed a cumulative analysis, varying the cut-off point for ‘large trials’ among the 21 high-quality trials included in the MA conducted by Shang [9]: a significant effect of homoeopathy compared to placebo was observed with a sample restriction to the 20, 19, 18, 16, 15 and 14 largest trials, respectively, while no significant difference was found with a sample restriction to the 17, 13 and 1–12 largest trials, respectively [32]. In the MA conducted by Shang [9], meta-regression analyses of ‘predicted effect in trials as large as the largest trials included in the study’ (without further specification; we assume the authors meant the intercept from the regression of odds ratios on the standard error) showed no significant difference between homoeopathy and placebo (Additional file 2). Subgroup analyses Tests for interactions Subgroup interactions were analysed in 3 MAs (Shang, Mathie 2014 and 2017 [9,10,11]). No significant associations were found for duration of follow-up, indication type (acute/chronic/prophylaxis) or type of homoeopathy (4 groups) (Suppl. Table 36). Effect estimates Effect estimates were analysed in a total of 23 subgroups, pertaining to indication (acute or chronic), type of homoeopathy (n = 10 subgroups), homoeopathic potency (n = 6) and outcome metric in trials (n = 5) (Suppl. Table 37). Of these 23 analyses, 21 showed a significant positive effect of homoeopathy, while two showed no significant difference from placebo: potencies < 12C in the MA conducted by Mathie (2014) [10], which was restricted to I-HOM; homoeopathic combination products in the MA conducted by Mathie (2017) [11] (a category only described and evaluated in this MA, cf. Suppl. Table 10). No subgroup analyses were performed on patient age groups. Statistical homogeneity/heterogeneity, funnel plot inspection and related tests Neither statistical homogeneity/heterogeneity nor funnel plot inspection with related statistical tests were reported in any subgroup as defined in Section 'Methods / Subgroup analyses'. However, withstanding that Mathie (2014) [10] and Mathie (2017) [11] were part of one MA programme, these two MAs can be considered subgroup analyses pertaining to the type of homoeopathy. For I-HOM (Mathie 2014 [10], n = 22 trials), neither heterogeneity nor FPA was found. For NI-HOM (Mathie 2017 [11], n = 54 trials), significant heterogeneity as well as FPA were found (cf. Section 'Assessments of bias and heterogeneity', above). Timing of subgroup analysis Of the 23 subgroup analyses, 15 were specified in a prepublished protocol (Mathie 2014 and 2017 [10, 11]), while 8 analyses—albeit from MAs based on predefined protocols—were not explicitly stated to be prespecified (Linde 1997 [6], Cucherat 2000 [8]). Of the 15 former analyses, 14 showed a significant positive effect of homoeopathy, while 1 did not (Mathie 2014 [10], see above). Additional data: Shang [9] Data for the comparison of MAs of placebo-controlled trials of homoeopathic and conventional treatment in Shang [9] are presented in Additional file 2. Additional data: Gartlehner [34] After literature searches and data collection for this SR had been completed, an additional subgroup analysis of the MA conducted by Mathie (2017) [11] was published, which we decided to include, as it concerned an item that had not been analysed for any of the MAs: trial registration (Gartlehner 2022) [34]). The 54 trials included in the MA conducted by Mathie (2017) [11] were published in the period from 1976 to 2014, and 20 of those trials were published from 2002 to 2014. Of this group, Gartlehner et al. analysed 19 trials, stratified according to clinical trial registration, which had been available at ClinicalTrials.gov since 2000. A random effects MA showed a positive significant effect of homoeopathy compared to placebo in n = 6 registered trials (SMD 0.53, 95% CI 0.20–0.87) and no significant difference from placebo in n= 13 unregistered trials (SMD 0.14, 95% CI − 0.07 to + 0.35). However, the between-group difference in effect estimates was not significant (meta-regression: SMD 0.39, 95% CI − 0.09 to + 0.87) [34]. It is not clear why trial #A93 of the MA conducted by Mathie (2017 [11], Lewith 2002, listed in Gartlehner [34], Supplement Table 3 as ‘not registered’) was not included in these analyses. The proportion of registered trials was 100% (n = 3/3) among high-quality trials and 19% (n = 3/16) among the other trials (Suppl. Table 38). Confidence in cumulative evidence The assessment of confidence in cumulative evidence for research questions 1 and 2 (cf. Section 'Research questions', above) according to the GRADE framework (cf. Section 'Confidence in cumulative evidence/Certainty assessment') is presented in Additional file 3. Conclusions are summarised in the following Sections: Conclusion 1: Positive effect of homoeopathy beyond placebo? The quality of evidence (high/moderate/low/very low) for significant positive effects of homoeopathy beyond placebo is moderate for ALL-HOM and NI-HOM and high for I-HOM. If the data sources were restricted to MAs with a low risk of bias [6, 10, 11], the quality of evidence would be changed to high for ALL-HOM and remain high for I-HOM and moderate for NI-HOM. The available data yield no support for the alternative hypothesis of no outcome difference between homoeopathy and placebo. Conclusion 2: Common effect across different treatments and indications? Different types of homoeopathic treatment The notion of a common positive effect is supported for effects across different homoeopathy types, including different subtypes of NI-HOM, supported for effects of I-HOM, not supported for effects of NI-HOM. As the MA of NI-HOM (Mathie 2017 [11]) comprised different indications treated with different homoeopathic products, the latter finding suggests that the effects of NI-HOM may differ across different indications and/or different homoeopathic products used. Such effect differences may include significant positive effects of NI-HOM as well as no significant difference between NI-HOM and placebo in different subgroups. Different types of indications The limited data available support the notion of a common positive effect of homoeopathy for acute as well as chronic indications. The issue of effect differences among different diagnoses or diagnosis groups is outside the scope of this SR. Discussion Main findings In this first SR of MAs of placebo-controlled randomised trials of homoeopathy for any disorder in humans, homoeopathy had a significant positive effect compared to placebo for all eligible trials in 5 of 5 evaluable MAs and for high-quality trials in 3 of 4 MAs. Assessed by the GRADE system, the quality of evidence for positive effects (high/moderate/low/very low) was high for I-HOM and moderate for ALL-HOM as well as for NI-HOM. There was no support for the alternative hypothesis of no outcome difference between homoeopathy and placebo. Strengths and limitations This systematic review as such The strengths of this SR include a detailed, prepublished PRISMA-P [12] -compliant protocol with two focused research questions, comprehensive presentation of findings, the use of well-established assessment instruments (ROBIS [13], GRADE [20]) and adherence to standard reporting guidelines (PRISMA 2020 [27]). The scope of this review had two clear limitations: it was restricted to efficacy in placebo-controlled trials and did not address results for specific indications or indication groups. We used the GRADE system to assess confidence in the cumulative evidence and found it very helpful. Nonetheless, there are three relevant differences between the GRADE approach and this SR: (1) The GRADE approach is indication- and outcome-specific, while we studied MAs with effect estimates for trials with different indications and outcomes. (2) The GRADE framework is tailored to comparative effectiveness, while we assessed MAs of placebo-controlled trials. (3) The GRADE assessment of confidence in cumulative evidence refers to the magnitude of effects, while our research question concerned the existence of significant effects of homoeopathy beyond placebo (yes/no). Accordingly, our conclusions on confidence in the cumulative evidence may not be directly comparable to those of other SRs in the same research field. The meta-analyses included in the review According to the ROBIS framework, the risk of bias of the six included MAs was rated as low for Linde (1997) [6], Mathie (2014 [10]) and Mathie (2017 [11]) and high for Linde (1998) [7], Cucherat [8] and Shang [9]. A particular feature of the MA conducted by Linde (1997/1999 [6, 30]) was the detailed assessment of associations between risk of bias and effect estimates in the second paper. Low risk of bias. The MA conducted by Linde (1998) [7] was an update on the MA conducted by Linde (1997) [6] but restricted to I-HOM. Compared to the 1997 MA, the 1998 MA had a more descriptive and discursive outlook. Having relied on formal and statistical assessments in the 1997 paper, in 1998, the authors made conscious use of subjective judgement, also for the assessment of the risk of bias. Some of these features are not reflected in the ROBIS framework. High risk of bias. The MA conducted by Cucherat [8] had two particular design features: Because of the expected heterogeneity, p value combination was used instead of effect estimation. While other MAs have used a hierarchical algorithm for the selection of outcomes for MAs, the authors restricted eligibility to trials with a single primary outcome. This led to a substantial loss of information that was unaccounted for in the discussion. High risk of bias. The MA conducted by Shang [9] had an additional comparison between placebo-controlled HOM and CON trials matched for indication and outcome type. Regrettably, the only published effect estimates were those of small subsamples from extreme scenario analyses with severely compromised matching. The authors aimed to demonstrate that effects of homoeopathy could be due to bias. Thereby, they strongly relied on funnel plot-based analyses that had been developed by the senior author [43]. Their approach and the published results were marred by an underlying circular logic, which can be expressed as follows: ‘We assume homoeopathy doesn’t work and found FPA, which may be due to publication bias and small study bias. Admittedly, there are many causes for FPA other than bias, and we know that the funnel plot-based approach cannot prove that results are due to bias (as conceded elsewhere [36]). However, because we assume homoeopathy doesn’t work anyway, we feel confident that the FPA in our MA was due to bias.’ High risk of bias. The MAs conducted by Mathie (2014 [10] and 2017 [11]) were a predefined MA pair, covering individualised (2014) and nonindividualised (2017) homoeopathy. The problem of persistent heterogeneity and FPA in the earlier MAs could now be clearly localised to the NI-HOM trials, while the I-HOM trials had neither heterogeneity nor FPA. The work also benefited from advances in methodology, guidance and reporting standards. Low risk of bias for both MAs. The evidence generated in this systematic review The evidence generated in this SR is based on 6 MAs, of which the risk of bias was rated as low for 3 and high for 3. If the data were restricted to the 3 MAs with a low risk of bias, the quality of evidence would be rated high for ALL-HOM and I-HOM and moderate for NI-HOM (Additional file 3). Compared with trials of nonhomoeopathic interventions, which were assessed with identical rating instruments, the methodological quality of the homoeopathy trials in the MAs of this SR was similar for the MAs conducted by Mathie (2014 and 2017 [10, 11]) and higher for the MA conducted by Shang [9]. Significant associations between methodological quality and effect estimates were found in 12 of 24 analyses. After restricting the sample to high-quality trials according to predefined criteria, effect estimates were reduced [6, 11] or increased [10], with 3 of 4 MAs showing significant effects of homoeopathy compared to placebo. When adding a 5th MA (Cucherat [8]) to the assessment and applying the same high-quality criteria as in the 3-component model of Shang [9], 4 of 5 MAs showed significant benefit of homoeopathy. As assessed by the GRADE system, the quality of evidence for positive effects (high/moderate/low/very low) was high for I-HOM and moderate for NI-HOM and ALL-HOM. In comparison, among 608 Cochrane reviews published from January 2013 to June 2014, the GRADE-assessed quality of evidence for the primary outcome was high in only 13% of reviews, moderate in 31%, low in 32% and very low in 24% [44]. In a randomised sample of Cochrane reviews up until 2021, 90% of 1567 GRADE-assessed interventions were not supported by evidence of high quality [45]. This SR had two limitations. (1) As this was a SR of MAs rather than of individual trials, the trials examined herein were limited to those included in the MAs. Thus, eligible trials published after 2011 and 2014 for I-HOM and NI-HOM, respectively, could not be included. (2) Differential effects of homoeopathy on different indications and patient groups were only assessed for acute and chronic indications and for adults and children, with very limited data available. Interpretation of the results in the context of other evidence According to this SR, homoeopathy can have positive effects beyond placebo on disease in humans. This is in accordance with laboratory experiments showing partially replicable effects of homoeopathically potentised preparations in physico-chemical [46], in vitro [47], plant-based [48, 49] and animal-based [50,51,52] test systems. Implications of the results for practice and policy In contrast to frequent claims, the available MAs of homoeopathy in placebo-controlled randomised trials for any indication show significant positive effects beyond placebo. Compared to other medical interventions, the quality of evidence for efficacy of homoeopathy was similar or higher than for 90% of interventions across medicine [45]. Accordingly, the efficacy evidence from placebo-controlled randomised trials provides no justification for regulatory or political actions against homoeopathy in health-care systems...'

Safer is Wait brought their leaflet and school's template letter for schools. Their info and letter take a simpler approach to our previous templates, so Is worth adding to your repertoire. DOWNLOAD THE ABOVE LEAFLET The words from the leaflet Safer to Wait Protecting Children’s Health The flu vaccine and our children A call for caution from Safer to Wait This autumn, the UK government will offer the nasal flu vaccine to all primary and secondary school children. Flu can be unpleasant, but it is a relatively low-risk and short-lived illness for the majority of us. Some people are of course more vulnerable to the influenza virus, so particular care must be given to them during the flu season. We support the use of proven, safe and effective pharmaceuticals when genuinely necessary. But every medical intervention carries some risk. We firmly oppose asking children to receive a vaccine to ‘protect’ other, more vulnerable, groups. It Iis not appropriate to use children as a safety shield. We are also concerned about the creeping normalisation of drug reliance for children, and the associated dismissal of natural health. After the clear regulatory failings around the Covid-19 vaccines, questions are understandably arising about the true safety and efficacy of other vaccines. Research suggests that the flu vaccine is "inadequate", [1] and it has also been shown to cause a wide range of negative and serious health effects, including febrile convulsions, Guillain-Barré syndrome and oculo-respiratory syndrome. [2] Studies of flu vaccine safety and efficacy are not good enough — as highlighted by Cochrane. [3] They note that: “five children need to be vaccinated to prevent one case of influenza, although there is huge uncertainty around these estimates" (emphasis ours). They continue: “There is little evidence on prevention of complications [or] transmission". Tom Jefferson, the lead author of the Cochrane Review on Vaccines for Preventing Influenza in Healthy Children, puts it plainly: “Influenza vaccines are about marketing and not science”. [4] He adds: “The science is missing and so making an informed decision is very difficult”. A 2016 study showed that Strep A bacteria was “substantially higher in vaccine (flu nasal spray) recipients”, [5] with a 2023 study; showing that the vaccine also led to an increase in strep A infections. [6] Strep A killed at least 30 children in 2022 in the UK alone. [7] We believe that supporting children's natural immunity during the autumn and winter months is the best — and safest — protection against illness. Safer to Wait’s SENSE web page and leaflet suggest some simple ways to do this. [8] Hundreds of studies have demonstrated that Vitamin D supplementation helps during the months when there is less sunlight, especially if flu and respiratory infections are a particular concern. It’s effective in reducing the risk of infection and, if infection occurs, reducing viral load, duration and severity of illness. [9] [10] [11] The average child will have been given a cocktail of pharmaceuticals by the time they’re 18 — what are the associated long-term or cumulative effects? Nobody knows. But we do know that children are sicker — more allergies, autoimmune disorders, autism, cancers, the list goes on — than ever before. [12] Until we know exactly why, perhaps a more cautious and restrained approach to the administration of drugs to our children is wise. Perhaps it’s safer to wait? If you and your child decide not to go ahead with the flu vaccine, you need to make it clear to their school, in writing.

- FLUENZ, SCHOOL CHILDREN'S SAFETY & TEMPLATE LETTERS
From 1st September 2023, all secondary school students in the UK are being offered Fluenz, a nasal spray vaccine for influenza. Fluenz was formerly known as FluMist, which was found to be barely 3% effective in the 2016-17 flu season. More worryingly, Fluenz currently has 311,999 adverse events reported on the WHO's official vigiaccess.org site. This leads to many questions and the need for resources that I have listed below.

Fluenz Tetra nasal spray is a vaccine designed to protect against influenza, commonly known as the flu. (see our article When did influenza become annual?) Unlike traditional injections, this new style of vaccine is administered through a nasal spray. Fluenz Tetra contains weakened live flu viruses that are designed to stimulate the immune system to produce antibodies, in the hope of providing immunity against flu symptoms. WHO MAKES FLUENZ? AstraZeneca Just as if we were choosing a new car, it is worth considering the manufacturer's recent reputation. AstraZeneca's C19 vaccine earned the street nickname ´The Clott Shot´ Their C19 vaccine topped the ´UK yellow card adverse event fatality charts´ with over 1,413 deaths including 36 child deaths In 2021 many EU countries banned the AZ vaccine. Did you notice that the AZ C19 vaccine was also quietly withdrawn from the UK public after it was used on teens with we suspect disastrous results? The UK vaccine was marketed under Covishield in India resulting in multiple legal cases IS FLUENZ SAFE AND EFFECTIVE? First of all, what does the manufacturer AstraZeneca say? ¨...Like all medicines, this vaccine can cause side effects, although not everybody gets them. In clinical studies with the vaccine, most side effects were mild in nature and short-term...¨ This is the official AZ Fluenz side effect data presented on medicines.org.uk Very common (may affect more than 1 in 10 people): runny or stuffy nose reduced appetite weakness Common (may affect up to 1 in 10 people): fever muscle aches headache Uncommon (may affect up to 1 in 100 people): rash nose bleed allergic reactions Very rare (may affect up to 1 in 10,000 people): severe allergic reaction: signs of a severe allergic reaction may include shortness of breath and swelling of the face or tongue. They add ¨Tell your doctor straight away or seek urgent medical care if you experience any of the effects above.¨ They also add ¨You can also report side effects directly via the Yellow Card Scheme at www.mhra.gov.uk/yellowcard or search for MHRA Yellow Card in the Google Play or Apple App Store. By reporting side effects you can help provide more information on the safety of this medicine.¨ SOURCE This leads to three more key questions: How did Astrazenca achieve the above statistics? Are the statistics reliable? How many reports of minor and serious side effects of Fluenz have been reported? How did AstraZeneca achieve the above statistics? The company performed safety trials Are the statistics reliable? The data from Fluenz studies have produced doubt in many. Fluenz has been approved based partly on extremely short clinical trials using no placebo. Serious scientists (and even Wikipedia) consider experiments without placebo and double-blinding as pseudo-science, Trial PMC4796333 followed 385 participants for only 14 days Trial PMC4181477 followed participants for 13 weeks. Amazingly the trial concluded: ¨Recipients of influenza vaccines had about 1.6 times more ILI episodes (Influenza Like Illness) than did unvaccinated children, and although this may be at least partly explained by a healthcare service-seeking bias, further investigations are warranted into whether influenza vaccine increases the risk of non-influenza ILI, as health-care-seeking behaviour did not predict ILI in a regression model...¨ That last paragraph is worth reading several times. This study suggests that anyone worried about the flu and lets their children take the Fluenz vaccine, will see their children 1.6 times more likely to suffer the very influenza symptoms they were trying to avoid. If the vaccine reduced the likelihood of flu symptoms by 1.6 times, I think it would be considered successful, so this appears to be having the wrong effect. Admittedly, the trial uses small numbers of participants making all the results not as reliable as we might hope for. How many reports of minor and serious side effects of Fluenz have been reported? We all know companies produce shining data to sell everything from broadband, to cars and computers. Who with a mobile phone trusts the manufacturer's claim of battery life? What car achieves the manufacturerś's fuel efficiency claims? And if anyone expects to achieve the broadband speeds advertised, I suggest monitoring them independently! Let's take a look at the reported adverse events for Fluenz. REPORTED ADVERSE EVENTS WHO's official vigiaccess.org site currently has 311,999 adverse events reported as of 20th September 2023 for Fluenz. These include: Facial Paralysis Heart Inflammation Pericarditis Brain damage Meningitis Encephalitis Guillain Barré Streptococcus This is a screenshot of the Fluenz adverse event data which you can access and check here DID FLUENZ KILL 19 CHILDREN IN THE UK? In late 2022, Fluenz was rolled out to all UK primary school children. Just 4 weeks later, 19 children had died. The deaths were blamed on Strep A. However, Strep A is listed as one of the side effects of Fluenz. The UK Government refuses to publish how many of these children took the nasal flu spray. EXCESS MORTALITY IN FLUENZ AREAS Fluenz Tetra children’s live flu vaccination study finds excess mortality was higher in pilot areas compared with non-pilot areas. https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/irv.12898?

The schools are in a strange position where on one hand they are pushing the vaccine but on the other declining responsibility. This is an excerpt from a recent school email to parents. Dear Parent/Carer Please find below and email from the immunisation team. Please note that xxxxxxx school act as a host for the immunisations to take place however any questions you may have relating to consent need to be directed to the immunisation team and contact details can be found below: Dear Parent/Guardian, Your child's flu vaccination is now due. This vaccination is recommended to help protect your child against flu. Flu can be an unpleasant illness and can cause serious complications. Vaccinating your child will also help protect more vulnerable family and friends by preventing the spread of flu. Please complete the consent form using the following link: xxxxxx Please ensure you complete your child's consent 48 working hours before your school session to ensure your child receives their vaccination. We are visiting your child's school on xxxxxxxxxxxx The vaccination is free and is a quick, simple and painless spray up the nose. Even if your child had the vaccine last year, the type of flu can vary each winter, so it is recommended to have it again this year or they won't be protected. A leaflet explaining the vaccination programme for secondary-aged young people can be accessed below and includes details about the small number of children for whom the nasal vaccine is not appropriate. The nasal spray vaccine contains a very small amount of purified porcine gelatine as an essential ingredient to keep it stable and able to work. For those who may not accept medicines or vaccines that contain porcine gelatine, a flu vaccine injection is available. Since the programme was introduced, most children offered the vaccine in schools have had the immunisation. Yours sincerely, xxxxxxx VACCINATION LEAFLET GIVEN TO PARENTS The title UK Health Security Agency infers gravitas for something once thought of so lightly that any kid with a sniffling nose was sent to school not to miss an important lesson. This is from their website. Fascinating the way they mention infectious diseases next to germ and nuclear warfare. The UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA) is responsible for protecting every member of every community from the impact of infectious diseases, chemical, biological, radiological and nuclear incidents and other health threats. We provide intellectual, scientific and operational leadership at national and local level, as well as on the global stage, to make the nation’s health secure. UKHSA is an executive agency, sponsored by the Department of Health and Social Care. Is this a moment to remember how pre-2020 we teased Skivvers for having what we called man-flu? ;) Back to the leaflet being distributed to parents... DOWNLOAD THE LEAFLET HERE Here are screenshots of the school leaflet The leaflet is glossy and persuasive. Let me provide some alternative reasons to the last page. 1. Protect yourself. The vaccine will help protect you against flu and serious complications such as bronchitis and pneumonia - Research shows the vaccine makes the subjects 1.6X more likely to suffer flu symptoms The leaflet is glossy and persuasive. - where is the evidence suggesting the vaccine protects against complications such as bronchitis and pneumonia? 2. Protect your family and friends. Having the vaccine will help protect more vulnerable friends and family - This is ignoring the established risk of shedding meaning the unvaccinated, and vulnerable are at risk from the live attenuated virus 3. No injection needed. The nasal spray is painless and easy to have - True enough 4. It’s better than having flu. The nasal spray helps protect against flu, has been given to millions worldwide and has an excellent safety record - The safety record can be seen here by looking at reported adverse reactions. Of course, this needs to be weighed against the total number of subjects, but we must also take into consideration the CDC and other official bodies admit only 1-10% of adverse reactions get reported. This means the injury data must be multiplied considerably by a factor of 1-100 to get a true idea of the risks 5. Avoid lost opportunities. If you get flu, you may be unwell for several days and not be able to do the things you enjoy - If you get the nasal spray studies indicate you are 1.6X more likely to get flu symptoms. - If you are unvaccinated and in school for the days after the flu nasal mist has been used you are likely to suffer from shedding and to experience flu symptoms. WHAT IS SHEDDING? Shedding is a widely accepted and understood side effect of using live virus in vaccines. When the vaccinated cough, sneeze, or detox via their breath or skin, they will pass the virus on. It means that unvaccinated children, parents, and grandparents catch the live weakened virus from those who have been vaccinated. i.e. the vaccinated spread the virus to the unvaccinated. Many studies have set out to measure shedding Study PMC6695509 seen on pubmed here, found that up to 67 % of vaccinated participants were shedding vaccine particles. HOW LONG SHOULD I KEEP MY CHILDREN OUT OF SCHOOL? The standard has always been to take the children out of school on vaccination days and keep them out for at least 3 days. Many now believe this should be 2 weeks. Of course, this presents the issue of childcare for many. I asked a well-informed mother what she had done in the past. This was her reply. ¨...It all depends on risks to child or other family members. When my friend´s father in law was undergoing chemo she pulled her two children out for a week. I’ve removed xxxxxxxx for a week, 5 days, 3 days and last year just the vaccination day. xxxxxxxx has never experienced shedding symptoms with the exception of last year, so in my book is deffo do 3 days off....¨ However, if we take a closer look at the above leaflet focusing on page 6, there is a more revealing clue. It indeed looks like 2 weeks is the official 'unadmitted' expected window of shedding. I imagine the risk from shedding moves in an exponential decline as in this graph. So after three days, the risk will be significantly lower, and near negligible at 2 weeks. WHAT CAN I DO? Carry out your own research Double-check the above data and information understanding some of it might be hard to find. Be aware sites like Wikipedia and YouTube and search engines like Google are controlled by industry and agendas As a starting point NEVER let your child (or anyone) have a vaccination when ill or off-colour. I have lost count of the parents who have told me their jab-injured child was not well on the day of the procedure. If in doubt, wait. A child can always have the vaccination later if you so decide. Safer to Wait have an excellent website based on the concept Remember to be kind to headmasters and teachers who are doing their best, but are limited by their knowledge. Decline consent for your child to have the vaccine. Use a template letter as seen below. Take them out of school for the shedding period, requesting home-schooling lessons so they don´t fall behind. Request that these days are not counted as absence, Present uninformed teachers with key information. Remind them attempting to use Gillick's competency could result in prosecution. Inform other parents of the risks at your child's school so they can make informed choices. We all want simple conflict-free lives. Of course, it needs courage to stand against the flow of the majority. My father often reminded me when in similar situations, such as being slower to cross a busy road than my friends... ¨It is better to appear a fool for a minute, than be one for a lifetime.¨ TEMPLATE LETTER TO SCHOOLS This letter template has been provided by Lawyers Date/Address Dear Sirs, [Your child's name] year [xx] The flu nasal vaccine is to be given to all school children this September. Accordingly, this letter is to formally and unequivocally withdraw my consent for you to vaccinate [your child's name]. If Gillick competence applies include the next paragraph. If it does not, remove the next paragraph. In all cases remove this paragraph that is in red. My daughter/son is at the age where s/he could be considered Gillick competent. Given this I have discussed the risks and benefits of the nasal flu vaccine with her/him and s/he declines informed consent to receive the same. Consequently my daughter/son has signed this letter to also refuse the vaccine. Recent research suggests that the flu vaccine "may not work as well as previously thought", (1), and further the vaccine has been shown to cause a wide array of negative and serious health effects, including Guillain-Barré syndrome, narcolepsy and Oculo-respiratory syndrome. (2), (3) (4). Given this, I am concerned that the risks from the vaccine outweigh the risk to [your child's name], a healthy child, from the flu itself. Please include the paragraphs below only if you intend to take your child out of school for the shedding period and in all cases remove this paragraph that is in red. Given the shedding from the vaccine, a further well-documented risk (5), this letter is also to inform you that to protect [your child's name], s/he will not be in attendance at school on vaccination days and for 2 weeks following the last day that the school administers the vaccine, to ensure that her/his health is not adversely affected by dissemination of particles from a vaccinated child. Given this, I would be grateful if you could supply 2 weeks of class work for [your child's name] to carry out at home, and I will ensure that this is completed. Given that the school has decided to administer the nasal vaccine in a non-clinical setting en masse, and my grave concerns as to the health of [your child's name] from shedding, you will appreciate that I do not expect any penalty for keeping [your child's name] away from school for the two week shedding period, and I reserve my right to take independent legal advice about the same should I receive notification of a penalty. Please place a copy of this letter in my child's school record. Yours sincerely, Your name Child´s signature here Child´s name here https://www.science.org/content/article/why-flu-vaccines-so-often-fail https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0264410X20304023 https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jama/article-abstract/199859 https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S0264410X03000951 https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.1111/irv.13149 DOWNLOAD LETTER TEMPLATE HERE TEMPLATE LETTER 2 BY MIRI Dear [name of headteacher], I am a supporter of the campaigning group, Informed Consent Matters, an initiative that promotes the vital legal and ethical importance of informed consent in medicine. I understand that you, along with every other secondary school in the country, will be offering the nasal flu spray to all of your pupils this coming September. I harbour grave concerns about this initiative, given the relative risk to healthy children from acquiring the flu is very low, whereas the flu nasal spray can potentially cause a wide array of negative health effects, some of them serious. I would therefore like to request a copy of the school's risk assessment regarding the mass administering of a risky medical product in a non-clinical environment, with particular emphasis on the controls put in place should a child have an adverse reaction. Studies have shown the nasal flu spray can cause a child to develop severe, life-threatening respiratory issues that require immediate ICU admission, amongst other potentially serious adverse effects. As you are aware, schools are not clinical environments, nor are they able to maintain the professional standards of such environments, and that one would expect when administering invasive, risky medical products to children. In the first instance, if a child needs urgent, professional assistance in the face of a medical emergency (such as a severe adverse reaction to the vaccine), schools are not equipped to provide this. Healthcare settings are, which is why, traditionally, children have always received their vaccinations in healthcare settings, rather than school gyms. In addition, children are also highly liable to become distressed at the prospect of vaccination, and the insertion of a foreign object into their nasal cavity, which is a particularly invasive procedure that could even prove painful if administered without sufficient care (unfortunately it is well documented that such care is often not taken when things are being inserted into the nose).. Therefore, children as young as 11 who are to be subject to such potentially distressing processes should be supported by trusted family members, not strangers who are "batch processing" hundreds of other children. This is a potentially highly traumatic experience for a child, especially one who may be dealing with ASD or a similar condition, as many children are. All these factors - both the physical and emotional risk to children of applying the flu nasal spray in school - should be taken into account in your risk assessment. A further risk which has been well and extensively documented by studies is the phenomenon of vaccine "shedding", where the flu nasal spray disseminates its particles from the vaccinated child, to others around them who have not been vaccinated. This phenomenon means parents cannot genuinely give "informed consent" to vaccination in school, because their child may inhale some of the vaccine from shedding classmates, even if that child themselves has not received the vaccination. This is another reason why vaccines should not be given in schools, but (for families who want them) in controlled clinical settings, where the risk of shedding can be minimised. Giving a shedding vaccine in schools, environments which are known to be "superspreader" environments for communicable infections like headlice, inevitably creates a high-risk situation where communicable aspects of the vaccination could be spread to many others, causing illness in those people. The flu vaccine is known to cause a wide range of infections and health conditions, including strep A (which swept through schools last year) and the flu itself, with a 2021 study showing 81% of flu cases in children were caused by the flu nasal spray. As such, I am concerned that administering this vaccine to an additional 3 million children, as the secondary school flu vaccination programme aims to do, has the potential to drive a wave of illness in children that could be declared as another "pandemic", and lead to more of the ruinous "lockdown" policies that so disrupted children's education and lives in 2020 and 2021. I am sure that you are as keen as I am to avoid that fate, so please consider very carefully whether you wish to administer the flu vaccine in your school (rather than letting families arrange for their children to receive this vaccine in the appropriate medical setting should they wish), and please also, as I have requested, furnish me with a copy of your full risk assessment should you decide to proceed with administering the flu vaccine in your school. As a member of the community, I am concerned for both the children at your school who may receive this vaccine, and the wider public (including vulnerable groups), who may be adversely affected by this vaccine and its ability to "shed" and cause illness - an illness that may potentially be declared by government officials as another "pandemic" (please note that the then-UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson declared in 2022 that if a wave of illness that specifically affected children ever emerged, another lockdown would likely be introduced). It is incumbent on you, as a headteacher with safeguarding and pastoral responsibilities to the children in your care, to ensure their optimal safety whilst they are at your school, and not to expose them to avoidable and unnecessary risks. It is the contention of myself and the Informed Consent Matters campaigning group that the flu nasal spray being administered in schools is an avoidable and unnecessary risk. If you cannot prove otherwise with a comprehensive risk assessment that takes into account all the evidence (not merely "cherry-picked" evidence that may confirm existing bias), then we will conclude that you are derelict in your obligations to optimally safeguard children, and we will therefore respond to this situation accordingly. Thank you for your time. Yours sincerely, [Name] WARNING - WHAT IS GILLICK COMPETENCY? As a parent, you have made up your mind. Although responsible for all your children until the age of 16, there is one loophole the industry/NHS/schools use. Even though your child can not purchase alcohol, tobacco, have a tattoo, engage in sexual activity, buy a gun or drive a car, they can potentially override your wishes on vaccination by citing Gillick Competency. What is Gillick Competency? Gillick Competency, is a legal concept established in the United Kingdom through the Gillick v West Norfolk and Wisbech Area Health Authority case in 1985, pertains to the ability of a child under the age of 16 to provide informed consent for their own medical treatment or decisions. To be considered Gillick competent, a minor must demonstrate a level of maturity and understanding that enables them to make informed choices about their healthcare without parental consent. The irony of this ridiculousness is that a child is not offered the Gillick Competency loophole to refuse a jab - only to accept one. It's a one-way rule that would make a perfect narcissistic gaslighting demon within any work of fiction, yet we accept this from our Health Security Agency via the NHS and our schools? Yes, it's bonkers. Fear not. A friend asked Philip Ridley of Weston A Price U.K. chapter to create a document with regards to the school´s vaccination program, Gillick competence and injury litigation. Philip has presented a simple argument that debunks this supposed loophole denying basic parental rights to protect a child, In summary: Gillick's Competency cannot be applied to teenagers as they cannot litigate for themselves as minors, should injury ensue. LEGAL STATEMENT ON THE VALIDITY OF ´GILLICK COMPETENCY´ USE THIS TO TACKLE THE RISK OF SCHOOLS OR VACCINATION TEAM ATTEMPTING TO BYPASS PARENT'S WISHES BY CITING ´GILLICK COMPETENCY´ Gillick Competency Parents are made by authorities to believe that Gillick Competency from Gillick v West Norfolk and Wisbech AHA [1985] UKHL 7 is an end entirely to their involvement in their child's medical treatments, but this is simply not true and parents have been misled. What Gillick's case states, citing Blackstone, is that parental responsibility flows from parental duties and that these duties and therefore rights fall away as a child develops competency of their own. Firstly, the case isn't clear that 12 is a cut off date, the date of competency will vary from child to child and children with mental capacity issues may never obtain capacity. Importantly, the case only refers to a child developing competency for bodily autonomy but this is not the only factor in a parent's involvement. The way in which autonomy is ultimately protected is through prosecution and litigation, being able to prosecute or sue those who violate bodily autonomy. What Gillick fails to explain is that children only develop competency to prosecute or sue another person upon reaching the age of 18, because prior to that age they are prohibited by law from entering into contracts, hiring a Solicitor or committing to proceedings that could result in them losing and being shouldered with a debt. Therefore, Parents have the parental duty and therefore responsibility to be a litigant friend for their child to the age of 18. This means that it must be unlawful to prevent the parent of a child under the age of 18 from observing the consent process, perhaps with a solicitor present, to secure that their child's consent is lawful and informed and so that they may take legal action on behalf of the child if necessary. That process simply cannot occur via mass vaccination at school and must happen in the privacy of a GP's surgery and so a parent seeking to exercise this right should act to prevent vaccination in school and demand that the consent process occur with their family doctor. The first duty of a child's litigant friend is to assess whether consent is lawful. If it is not, the treatment is a violation of bodily autonomy in the form of trespass to the person and the crimes and torts of assault and battery may have occurred. For assault to be committed, a defendant must have performed a positive act that made the claimant think that someone is about to apply force directly and voluntarily to their body without lawful consent. For battery to be committed, a defendant must have directly and voluntarily applied force to the claimant’s body without lawful consent. For the crimes of assault and battery, the statute of limitation is 6 months but additional time is provided after a victim has made a statement or a video recorded interview but there are circumstances where the offence can be indictable, including if grievous bodily harm occurs or if the battery results in manslaughter or murder. An offence can be reported to the Police or a private prosecution can be had but prosecutions are expensive and the burden of proof is beyond reasonable doubt, so it is generally advisable to focus on suing for the tort violations at least first if there is not overwhelming evidence. Assault and battery are also torts, which are proven on balance of probability and battery resulting in physical or psychological injury must be sued within three years. However, the 3 year limitation for a child does not commence until they are 18 and it does not start for a person with mental disability until or if that disability ceases, see the Limitation Act 1980. Consent is not lawful if a person lacks capacity either due to not obtaining Gillick competency or as a result of having a mental disability. There could be a whole host of reasons why a child of 12 or older may not have obtained capacity yet and capacity will vary depending on the complexity and implications of the proposed treatment. Consent is also not lawful if it has been coerced, "Duress, whatever form it takes, is a coercion of the will so as to vitiate consent." Hirani v Hirani [1982] EWCA Civ 1. For example, it could be argued that peer pressure in a school environment renders some children to be under duress. Battery may also occur if the patient has not been advised in broad terms of the nature of the procedure to be performed which was arguably the case for many who took Covid vaccines who were not advised that the treatments were intended to be gene therapies and it is doubtful that a 12yr old would understand that sort of treatment. However, so long as that basic requirement is satisfied, an allegation that the risks inherent in a medical procedure have not been disclosed to the patient can only found an action in negligence and not a crime Rogers v Whitaker [1992] HCA 58. The law around clinical negligence regarding the duty of disclosure is set out in Montgomery v Lanarkshire [2015] UKSC 11 from Paragraph 87. 87. The correct position, in relation to the risks of injury involved in treatment, can now be seen to be substantially that adopted in Sidaway by Lord Scarman, and by Lord Woolf MR in Pearce, subject to the refinement made by the High Court of Australia in Rogers v Whitaker, which we have discussed at paras 77-73. An adult person of sound mind is entitled to decide which, if any, of the available forms of treatment to undergo, and her consent must be obtained before treatment interfering with her bodily integrity is undertaken. The doctor is therefore under a duty to take reasonable care to ensure that the patient is aware of any material risks involved in any recommended treatment, and of any reasonable alternative or variant treatments. The test of materiality is whether, in the circumstances of the particular case, a reasonable person in the patient’s position would be likely to attach significance to the risk, or the doctor is or should reasonably be aware that the particular patient would be likely to attach significance to it. 88. The doctor is however entitled to withhold from the patient information as to a risk if he reasonably considers that its disclosure would be seriously detrimental to the patient’s health. The doctor is also excused from conferring with the patient in circumstances of necessity, as for example where the patient requires treatment urgently but is unconscious or otherwise unable to make a decision. It is unnecessary for the purposes of this case to consider in detail the scope of those exceptions. This case relates to adults of sound mind, and so prior to Gillick competency, the law is the same, but the consent of the Parent must be obtained and the test of materiality relates to a reasonable person in the Parent's position. Once Gillick competency is reached, the Parent is advocating for the child's position rather than advocating for their own views as parents. A parent can sue after the event for damages, but they can also sue for an injunction and parents combine their efforts in group litigation orders. Whilst going to court is expensive, parents can also launch a formal complaint or pre-action proceedings if they have time, which cost nothing but which may elicit a response from the school's or doctor's insurers. It would likely be a test case, but there is a case that parents could sue for the tort of malfeasance if they are prevented from exercising their parental responsibility and right to be their child's litigant friend. If more parents were aware of this, it could be the end of mass vaccinations in schools or at least schools may be required to respect those parents who wish to proceed with the consent process in the privacy of their GP's surgery rather than the peer pressure, rush and parental alienation that occur when vaccinations take place in school.

- RED LIGHT THERAPY
HEALING FREQUENCIES OF RED AND INFRARED LIGHT AKA PHOTOBIOMODULATION The claimed healing effects of red light are far-ranging. * Fight skin ageing, wrinkles, and cellulite and look 10 years younger * Lose fat (nearly twice as with diet and exercise alone) * Rid your body of chronic inflammation * Fight the oxidative damage that drives ageing * Increase strength, endurance, and muscle mass * Decrease pain * Combat hair loss * Build resilience to stress at the cellular level * Speed up wound/injury healing * Combat some autoimmune conditions and improve hormonal health * Optimize your brain function and mood * Overcome fatigue and improve energy levels Red and Infrared Light Therapy therapy have become mainstream and have now earned the more scientific name tag of Photobiomodulation i.e. controlling our biology with light. The work of Tiina Karu in Russia was instrumental in putting the mechanism [of redlight in infrared light therapy] on a sound footing by identifying cytochrome c oxidase in the mitochondrial respiratory chain as a primary chromophore, and it introduced the concept of “retrograde mitochondrial signalling” to explain how a single relatively brief exposure to light could have effects on the organism that lasted for hours, days or even weeks SOURCE Scroll down for more information on: SKIN WRINKLES WEIGHT LOSS BRAIN INJURY WOMEN'S HEALTH ERECTILE DYSFUNCTION BONE HEALING If you want to cut to the chase, these are the recommended machines. 1 - Handheld device - TARGETTED TREATMENT AREA 2 - Desktop device - TARGETTED TREATMENT AREA (high power) 3 - FULL BODY TREATMENT (The owner has given us a special discount for NOTB members too - read on for details) WHICH FREQUENCIES DO I NEED? RED OR INFRARED? To understand the machine's suitability there are a few factors Frequencies (read on below) Dosage (make sure the machine is powerful enough - basically avoid cheap machines) Cost RED LIGHT (suitable for skin) Red light therapy involves exposure to fairly strong sources of visible red light in the 610-700nm range. Most of the studies and interest towards these frequencies relate to skin conditions, but there are many other applications. The absolute optimal single wavelengths are 620nm and 670nm as can be seen on the dark line on the graph which relates to The Cytochrome absorption - i.e. how the cells react to that frequency. Graph showing this light’s spectral output & red absorption peaks in cytochrome c oxidase in mitochondria (T. Karu et al., 1995-2008) SOURCE The Red shading on the graph indicates the light that the RED LIGHT MAN's Pure red light machines give. The red shading has 4 blended peaks due to the four frequencies used. 610nm – 25% – Orange-Red 630nm – 25% – Red 660nm – 25% – Deep Red 680nm – 25% – Far Red If you only want a machine to treat skin-deep issues then this RED LIGHT MACHINE that covers the twin peaks with four frequencies is perfect. NEAR INFRARED (deep tissue penetration) Infrared light refers to photons with a slightly longer wavelength than red, being just outside of the human eyesight perception range. There are 3 types of infrared; Far, Mid and Near-infrared. We are only interested in near-infrared for the purposes of light therapy. Infrared light therapy works on a very similar mechanism to visible red, however infrared cannot be seen by the human eye. Infrared actually passes further inside the body than red, so it can reach muscles, bones, organs, and even the brain. As can be seen on the graph below, the green line shows how the 830nm and 760nm are absorbed more efficiently by cells than other wavelengths. COMBO - RED LIGHT AND INFRARED - suitable for skin and deep tissue I personally chose a combo machine to gain the full range of the benefits of red light and Infrared. Red light is useful for skin conditions or for reducing subcutaneous fat Infrared is useful for deeper penetration into tissues Using a device with Red light and Infrared frequencies means it is useful for tackling skin issues and penetrating deeper tissues. The graph below shows how the use of four frequencies within the RED INFRARED LIGHT COMBO unit follows the frequencies found to be most effective in studies. 620 25% – Orange-Red 670 25% – Deep Red 760 25% - Near Infrared 830 25% - Near Infrared HOW MUCH COULD THIS COST ME? FREE The primary basic option is exposing as much of the body to the sun's rays at sunrise and sunset. This God-given resource is free and best done naked! PAID The next option, which enables higher doses, as and when desired, comes via manmade light machines. Red light and Infrared machines vary from £15 to over £100,000 BOTTOM END - Cheap torches and handheld devices Most low-cost machines are ineffective and too weak. Be warned, when coming across red light therapy for the first time, many at first buy red lights that are weak and ineffective, later upgrading and wasting money in the process. TOP-END - PHOTOBIOMODULATION BEDS BY PRO THERAPISTS. The larger £100,000 machines are like sun beds that enable both sides of the body to have an even dose. These machines are great. These beds are perfect for therapists offering clients 20-minute sessions. The cost is about £50-£100 per 20-minute session. However, the same benefits from the same frequencies and same power output can be achieved with the home solution below. THE MIDRANGE SOLUTION During my research, I came across the devices below.

FAQ LASOR OR LED? LEDs are far safer for home use. New technology enables a much stronger concentration of LED lights meaning LEDs are a long-lasting effective and durable solution. THE REDLIGHT MAN is at the forefront of these technical advances, hence the incredible power/effectiveness/price ratio. DOSAGE - HOW OFTEN? FOR HOW LONG? The closer the unit is to the body the stronger the dose. The longer the device is kept by the body the stronger the dose. To work out approximate doses we first need to know the strength of a machine. Then a set of calculations using strength and time can be used to work out the length of exposure. Light therapy dose is calculated with this formula: Power Density x Time = Dose Fortunately, most recent studies use standardised units to describe their protocol: Power Density in mW/cm² (milliwatts per centimeter squared) Time in s (seconds) Dose in J/cm² (Joules per centimeter squared) Power densities over about 200mw/cm² are not typically indicated for skin treatment as they are quite powerful. However thigh power densities sin the skin can be used for short periods when targeting deeper tissue. Power densities in the 500-1000+ range offer excellent penetration, useful for muscles, joints, brain tissue, etc. DOSING GUIDE (as you read on you'll see I have chosen powerful machine meaning lower times to achieve deep tissue healing) FURTHER RESEARCH If you need more info before buying, I recommend this book below BOOK DESCRIPTION Is Red Light Therapy a Miracle "Drug"? If there were a pill that was scientifically proven to help you look 10 years younger, lose fat, improve hormonal health, fight pain and inflammation, increase strength/endurance, heal faster, improve your brain health and increase your energy levels, it would be a billion-dollar blockbuster drug. Doctors all over the world would call it a "miracle drug," and millions of people would be told to start taking it. Here's the crazy part: That "drug" exists. But it's not a pill. It's red light therapy! Did you know that light has the power to heal your body and optimize your health? Of course, everyone knows about the importance of vitamin D from sunlight (from UV light). But few are aware that there is another type of light that may be just as vital to our health - red and near-infrared light.... read more and buy here ARTHRITIS Some sources of near infrared and red light have actually been used clinically for the treatment of arthritis since the late 1980s. By the year 2000, enough scientific evidence existed to recommend it for all arthritis sufferers1 regardless of cause or severity. Since then there have been several hundred quality clinical studies trying to refine the parameters for all joints that can be affected. Ensuring penetration to the joints The two main things affecting tissue penetration are the wavelengths and the strength of the light hitting the skin. In practical terms, anything below the wavelength of 600nm or over the wavelength of 950nm won’t penetrate deeply. The 740-850nm range seems to be the sweet spot for optimal penetration and around 820nm for maximum effects on the cell. The strength of the light (aka power density / mW/cm²) also affects penetration with 50mW/cm² over a few cm² area being a good minimum. So essentially, this boils down to a device with wavelengths in the 800-850nm range and greater than 50mW/cm² power density such as this machine. SKIN WRINKLES WEIGHT LOSS The mechanism of red light therapy for weight loss is quite simple – it increases metabolic rate. As mentioned in our descriptions of red and infrared light, light therapy stimulates our mitochondria (the cell’s power source) to increase glucose oxidation. This is because light between 600nm and 1000nm stimulates a key copper enzyme in our cells. This inevitably results in more ATP, or cellular energy, being produced. More glucose burned efficiently means less stress, and healthier cells, which results in a stronger metabolic rate – ultimately leading to fat loss. This effect can be seen in muscle tissue, as well as fat.

LEDs are safer for home use and are of the same frequency. "...Not only may new brain cells be formed after LLLT but the existing brain cells may be encouraged to form new synaptic connections in the process known as synaptogenesis or synaptic plasticity. If these processes can be reliably shown to occur after transcranial LLLT it opens the door to the treatment being applied to neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer’s and many diverse psychiatric disorders...." https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5379852/ WOMEN'S HEALTH Many people experience relapses and recurrent infections, so finding a long-term solution is crucial. Both of the above potential effects (healing without inflammation and sterilising the skin of harmful micro-organisms) of red light may lead to a downstream effect – healthier skin and better resistance to future infections. Low amounts of candida/yeast are a normal part of our skin flora, usually causing no negative effects. Low levels of inflammation (from any cause) actually promote the growth of these yeast organisms specifically, and then the growth leads to more inflammation – a classic vicious cycle. The tiny increase in inflammation quickly escalates into a full-blown infection.6 SOURCE MEN'S HEALTH Erectile dysfunction (ED) is a highly common problem, affecting pretty much every man at one point or another. It has a profound effect on mood, feelings of self-worth and quality of life, leading to anxiety and/or depression. Although traditionally linked to older men and health issues, ED is rapidly increasing in frequency and has become a common problem even in young men. The topic we will address in this article is whether red light can be of any use to the condition. Many researchers note that vasodilation is stimulated by light therapy (and also by various other physical, chemical and environmental factors – the mechanism by which the dilation comes about is different for all the different factors though – some good, some bad). The reason that improved blood flow helps erectile dysfunction is obvious, and is necessary if you want to cure ED. Red light could potentially stimulate vasodilation through these mechanisms Nitric Oxide As mentioned above as a metabolic inhibitor, NO actually has various other effects on the body, including vasodilation[3,7]. NO is produced from arginine (an amino acid) in our diet by an enzyme called NOS. The problem with too much sustained NO (from stress/inflammation, environmental pollutants, high-arginine diets, and supplements) is it can bind to respiratory enzymes in our mitochondria, preventing them from using oxygen. This poison-like effect prevents our cells from producing energy and carrying out basic functions. The main theory explaining light therapy is that red/infrared light might be able to photodissociate NO from this position, potentially allowing mitochondria to function normally again. READ MORE BONE HEALING Red light therapy is a type of treatment that utilizes low wavelengths of red light in various forms of healing. It infiltrates the surface of the skin deep into the bones producing several functions including: Healing of bones Increasing mineral density of bones Reduces swelling and inflammation Reduces osteoporosis Improves general bone health Making bones stronger Pain attenuation Neural function restoration Immune modulation Bone repairment and remodeling Mechanism of Red-Light Therapy The mechanism of red-light therapy is simple; it works on stimulating the mitochondria, also known as 'the powerhouse of the cell' to produce more energy. After the light penetrates the skin, light energy is soon converted into biochemical energy, initiating a cascade of events resulting in many physiological changes. Most importantly, oxygen release, ATP production (extra energy), and DNA replication. This extra energy in the form of ATP goes into reducing oxidative stress, regeneration, and healing. This is particularly beneficial in the case of broken bones, where subjecting them to red light therapy can prove advantageous in rejuvenating the healing process by expanding blood circulation, collagen formation, and decreasing inflammation.2 REFERENCES Hawkins D, Houreld N, Abrahamse H.

- EXIT THE WHO - PETITION THE KING
Personally, I see old Charlie as a WEF WHO numpty. However, some more respecting citizens have started this campaign and we need to approach this subject in all the ways we can. This is their letter to The King We write respectfully as Your Majesty’s loyal subjects. During Your Majesty’s recent coronation, you swore on oath, before God, Parliament and your subjects, to yield none of our national powers to any international organisation. This means preserving our right to govern ourselves under the Bill of Rights and common law. We, as your subjects, declare loyalty to Your Majesty, but in return we expect you to keep your Oath to preserve our inalienable right to govern ourselves. Unless you act decisively, Your Majesty’s government will shortly breach our right to govern ourselves. It gave provisional approval in May 2021 to the World Health Organisation (WHO)’s Pandemic Preparedness Treaty and its accompanying International Health Regulations. This Treaty would confer unprecedented personal power upon the unelected Director of the WHO to be able to declare a worldwide health pandemic, and to mandate your government to take extreme measures to control any such pandemic by ordering national lockdowns, compulsory vaccination and the closing of national borders. The WHO is unelected and unaccountable. Moreover, the Pandemic Preparedness Treaty would give sole powers in any future pandemic to its Director, Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus. The WHO has from the beginning sought to take worldwide powers. Its first Director, Brock Chisholm, spoke frequently on this issue, repeatedly insisting that, “to achieve world government, it is necessary to remove from men’s minds their individualism, loyalty to family traditions, national patriotism and religious dogmas.” The WHO is a threat to the independence of the United Kingdom. On 24 May this year, WHO boss Tedros declared, “The world must prepare for a virus that is even deadlier than Covid. The threat of another variant emerging that causes new surges of disease and death remains, as does the threat of another pathogen emerging with even deadlier potential.” Yet one of the key lessons of the Covid-19 epidemic is how wrong the WHO was on so many issues. Crucially, the WHO recommended ‘lockdowns’ as the best means of controlling the spread of the virus. There is little or no evidence that these worked, but there is huge evidence of the vast damage they caused: many businesses and livelihoods ruined; the depression, mental illness and loneliness caused by isolation; children unable to go to school; the financial cost of propping up businesses etc. It has also been shown that people’s immune systems were weakened by isolation. Other serious mistakes were made by the WHO; they recommended mask-wearing; yet all studies to date show that wearing masks had no effect on the transmission of Covid-19. The WHO claims that they know best what to do in a pandemic, yet the case of Sweden shows how wrong they were. While nearly every European country blindly followed the WHO’s diktats, the Swedish Director of Health ignored their advice, merely advising the public to take sensible precautions. Their Covid ‘death rate’ was less than those of other countries, but without the horrors of a lockdown. As your government is preparing to give one man sole responsibility for the world’s response to any pandemic, we respectfully advise Your Majesty as follows. Tedros’s main claim to fame before being installed as WHO Director was as the second-in-command to the militant Tigray People’s Liberation Front. Later, as a health minister in the Ethiopian government, he failed disastrously to contain three separate cholera outbreaks, and covered up his errors. The New York Times report, 13 May 2017, ‘Candidate to Lead the WHO Accused of Covering Up Epidemics’, gives further details. Furthermore, Tedros only became WHO Director due to the Chinese government’s pressure on African, Asian and South American nations to vote for him. We respectfully refer Your Majesty to this passage in the Washington Post’s article of 25 October 2017, “China worked tirelessly behind the scenes to help Tedros defeat the United Kingdom candidate for the WHO job, David Nabarro. Tedros’s victory was also a victory for Beijing, whose leader Xi Jinping has made public his goal of flexing China’s muscle in the world.” Tedros is being given unprecedented powers by your government. No-one should be given such powers, but for these powers to be given to Tedros is surely unthinkable. Moreover, the WHO recently published a further document (WHO CA+ Bureau Draft) which, if implemented, would result in a highly centralised global public health governance which would not only further remove national sovereignty in a health emergency but also gives the WHO powers to monitor and censor dissenting voices (Article 18). In May this year, North Korea won a seat on the WHO Executive Board allowing the current supreme leader of North Korea, Kim Jong Un, to influence the WHO’s agency, policies and appointments, which potentially includes an eventual replacement for Tedros. Unless Your Majesty’s government rescinds its provisional agreement by 27 November 2023, these totalitarian powers assumed by the WHO will take effect from 27 May 2024. We believe this would be totally unacceptable to your subjects as a breach of our Constitution. The unelected WHO is wholly unaccountable to your government yet claims to have the authority to override the decisions of our democratically elected Parliament. Moreover, we believe that acceptance of these proposals via the Royal Assent or by any other means would be a direct violation of Your Majesty’s Coronation Oath to yield none of our national powers to any international organisation. From Magna Carta to the unrepealed Bill of Rights (1689) the principle is enshrined in our law that: “No foreign prince, person, prelate, state, or potentate hath, or ought to have any jurisdiction, power, superiority, pre-eminence, or authority, ecclesiastical or spiritual, within this realm.” Your Majesty’s subjects restored the Constitutional position in the Referendum on 23 June 2016 in which the people decided that we should be free of rule by the European Union. In order to uphold the law, we hereby exercise our constitutional right to petition you to stop our government giving any powers to the WHO or any other international organisation such as the World Economic Forum, the United Nations or any of the international banking organisations which are promoting central bank digital currencies and looking to replace cash payments. To make Your Majesty aware of the strength of public feeling on this issue, we have devised the ‘Petition the King’ campaign to encourage individuals to appeal directly to you to protect our inalienable rights for exclusive, national self-governance. This will take the form of distributing many thousands of Petition postcards addressed to you, opposing the giving of Royal Assent to any legislation or other measure giving powers to the WHO or any international organisation. We also plan to issue regular bulletins on the immediacy and danger of your government ceding powers to the WHO. We seek Your Majesty’s written assurance that you will remain faithful to your most solemn oath to keep our nation free from foreign rule so that we, the people, are then able to maintain our loyalty to Your Majesty as our King. We are, Sir, Your Majesty’s humble and obedient servants. Graham Wood Chairman The Petition Committee See the Petition the King website here: https://www.petitiontheking.org/our-campaign
- IMPORTANT PETITION - EXIT THE WHO
I think most of us now realise that the reason the world's countries responded to an apparent world emergency in perfect lockstep, was not due to the leaders of 150 or more countries leaders having the same idea on how to respond at the same time, but due to contracts they had previously signed with the WHO. These contracts forced a response that had to obey the WHO's take on the pandemic they had themselves declared. The plan worked well. The few leaders who did not obey often died suddenly or faced internal resurrection by well-funded political opposition. If you didn't catch Tanzania President John Magufi's hysterical speech as he read out the results of his testing of the validity of the C19 PCR tests by sending in fake samples, you can see it here. A must-watch. Spurred on by their 2020 Plandemic success, the WHO have increased their ambitions and made a grab for even more control. In summary by declaring a 'Pandemic' they gain control over our elected governments. The extent of the WHO's embedded power via bribes and corruption and well-placed insiders is displayed by the lack of resistance at the governmental level, making in comparison the WW2 collaborating French Vichy government look like national heroes. It is quite clear from recent events that we should have doubts trusting our own government irrespective of political persuasion. Yet, as they say, keep your enemies close. Handing over any power to distance entities, whether in Geneva or further afield, is contemptuous to all that we stand for and all those who fought and died over many centuries to keep our country independent. The UK petition started by Tess Lawrie of the World Health Council is just one way to fight back. See more of the international efforts here IMPORTANT PETITION Currently at 113,428 signatories DEADLINE TUESDAY 3RD OCTOBER Hold a parliamentary vote on whether to reject amendments to the IHR 2005 We are concerned that Parliament has not discussed and will not have a say on the 307 proposed amendments to the International Health Regulations, AND the amendments to 5 Articles of the IHR that were ADOPTED by the 75th World Health Assembly on 27 May 2022. The amendments that were adopted on 27 May 2022 have not been debated in or voted on by Parliament. The UK has the authority to reject them under Article 61 of the IHR, but any such rejection must be within 18 months of their adoption. Parliament must be given the opportunity to vote on whether to reject the amendments that have already been adopted, and also the 307 proposed amendments that are currently being negotiated by the UK delegates to the 76th World Health Assembly. The UK has not proposed any of the 307 amendments. https://petition.parliament.uk/petitions/635904 JOHN CAMPBELL & JAMES ROGUSKI DISCUSS THE WORLD HEALTH ORGANISATION'S ATTEMPT AT WORLD DOMINATION Although Campbell, like his nemesis Mahotra, is responsible for many taking a jab, that is regretted by the persuader and the persuaded - many of his current videos are on target.

- JOHN MAGUFI - THE TANZANIAN PRESIDENT'S UNFORGETTABLE HUMOROUS SPEECH ON C19 PCR TEST VALIDITY
This 2020 speech by John Mugufi had many of us crying with laughter. The president had done some basic tests on the validity of the c19 PCR test by sending back to the test station swabs that were not of human origin... He was one of the few World leaders that defied the WHO's pandemic mandates. My post via the Not On The Beeb Telegram channel on March 17th 2021 My hero of 2020 The funniest speech of the year as he ridiculed the PCR test by sending in samples of fruit and announcing live on TV the positive results.

- Frequencies that heal - Bees and the key of C
Understanding PTSD and Current Treatments PTSD is a mental health condition characterized by intrusive thoughts, flashbacks, nightmares, hyperarousal, and avoidance behaviors. The condition can significantly impact an individual’s daily life, causing emotional distress, impaired relationships, and a diminished sense of well-being. Traditional treatment approaches for PTSD typically include psychotherapy, medication, and cognitive-behavioral interventions. However, some individuals may seek alternative therapies to complement or enhance their recovery process. The Emergence of Bee Sound Therapy Bee sound therapy, also known as apitherapy, is an alternative healing method that harnesses the calming effects of bees’ sounds and vibrations. Bees produce a gentle, low-frequency humming sound as they fly and communicate with one another. These vibrations are believed to have a soothing and therapeutic effect on the human nervous system. How Bee Sound Therapy Works Bee sound therapy involves creating a controlled environment where individuals can experience the gentle hum of bees in a safe and supportive setting. This therapy can be conducted in various ways, such as using specially designed beehive enclosures, audio recordings of bee sounds, or observing live bees from a distance. It has been scientifically proven that bees are most alert and happy when buzzing in the middle key of “C.” Benefits of Bee Sound Therapy for PTSD Deep Relaxation: The low-frequency vibrations emitted by bees can induce a state of deep relaxation, helping to reduce anxiety and tension associated with PTSD. This therapy promotes a sense of calm and peace, allowing individuals to feel more at ease in their bodies and minds. Grounding and Mindfulness: Bee sound therapy can serve as a grounding technique, enabling individuals to focus on the present moment. By directing attention to soothing vibrations and sounds, individuals can develop mindfulness skills that aid in managing intrusive thoughts and overwhelming emotions. Sensory Stimulation: For individuals with PTSD, sensory stimulation can play a crucial role in their healing process. The gentle hum of bees provides a non-invasive and natural way to stimulate the senses, diverting attention away from distressing memories and creating a positive sensory experience. Social Connection: Some bee-sound therapy sessions may involve group activities or shared experiences, fostering a sense of community and support. This social aspect can be particularly beneficial for individuals with PTSD, who may benefit from a safe space to interact and engage with others who have experienced similar challenges.

- NOTB'S 79th C19 ADVERSE EVENT DATA REPORT FROM UK'S YELLOW CARD
MHRA YELLOW CARD REPORTING SUMMARY UP TO 30th AUG 2023 The stats have been taken from the new interactive format data Yellow Card Adverse Event Reports Pfizer-mono 177,307 Pfizer-bivalent 5034 AZ 248,490 Moderna-mon 43,009 Moderna-bivalent 5463 Novavax 82 Unknown brand 2602 TOTAL: 481,987 people have had injury reports filed, which is an increase of 329 in 5 weeks. Some general statistics derived from the MHRA Yellow Card reports 74.7% of these reports have been classified as SERIOUS by the MHRA 12.9% of all the serious reports are of unkown age 1 in 112 people injected filed a Yellow Card Adverse Event 1 in 150 people injected filed an adverse event classified as SERIOUS* 1 in 187 reports are associated with a fatality, which may be less than 10% of actual figures according to MHRA The problem with the above stats is that all the official bodies that deal with collecting this data with the UK and USA, admit that only 1-10% of incidents are reported. That means the real numbers are up to 100X greater than the numbers above. How can this be possible? 1- First of all doctors or patients need to connect the injury to the cause. Bullets are easily attributed to a gun whereas for example, heart attacks and heart failure have many hard-to-pinpoint causes. 2- Doctors need approx 45 minutes to file a report. A European doctor told me apologetically that she had simply given up filing them as one she had no time, and secondly, at the end of the 45 min process she often got an error losing all the data meaning she needed to start again.

Over 405 of the above fatalities are of ‘Unknown Age’ which is 15.7% of all fatalities 147 are of ‘Unknown Sex’ which is 5.7% of all fatalities As we can see by the graph below, reporting on deaths is falling off with time. Is this because less people are dying as a result of the vaccine? Or, is this because due to the time difference, less people are connecting the dots to the most probable cause?

Most had the Pfizer jab which explains the weighting below. It is also important to know that many categories of vaccine injury (with less than 5 reports per type) have been “retracted´ and reported as just under 5. i.e 1, 2, 3 or 4 are just reported as Less than 5.

The signatories of this petition back the work of lawyers Lois Bayliss and Philip Hyland working alongside Dr Samuel White, Mark Sexton and team submitting evidence under Hammersmith Police crime number: 6029679/21 1 - Why are so many people suffering adverse events and death after COVID-19 vaccinations? 2 - Why are so many of our fittest sportspeople collapsing and suffering myocarditis, heart attacks and death post-vaccination? 3 - Why have the vaccine manufacturers withheld ingredients? Undisclosed ingredients are illegal and involve the deception of the public. 4 - Why have independent scientific reports of Graphene Oxide and other contaminants not been publically investigated? 5 - Why are the various batches of the vaccine clearly different? As per VAERS data, most adverse reactions are coming from a few batches. This clearly indicates suspect manufacturing. 6 - With all these doubts concerning safety, why is the vaccine rollout continuing in British schools 7 - As of December 6th 2022 why has such a product with such a record been authorised for our youngest children between 6 months and 4 years old? NOTE>>> If you are a nurse, doctor, health professional, scientist, or have relevant qualifications, please sign the Health expert's petition I, the undersigned, request the British police seize samples of the vaccine and instigate an urgent public scientific review, regarding the safety, legitimacy and ethical implications of the ingredients and the biotechnology that are causing widespread serious adverse reactions post-COVID-19 vaccination. Concerning the vaccination programme, we request an immediate injunction forcing a nationwide pause on the roll-out for all age ranges until we have clear answers from the police investigations.

- PROS AND CONS OF WATER DISTILLERS
Do we need a water distiller? I’m in two minds. On one, hand distillers are noisy and use a lot of electric. On the other hand, we need clean water and distillers deliver this. The question really is do we need to clean our tap water and if so, what is the best method? The ideal scenario is drinking spring water direct from the source. You might be surprised to find you have spring close to you. Collecting water directly from the source means it will also be 'structured', meaning it is highly bioavailable which means it also has healing qualities. The next best is bought spring water, but you must check the producer. I personally would not trust any bottle produced by the conglomerates. We tested two brands of water across two nations, bottled directly from independent springs. We found them both contaminated by the same fibres. Both brands are owned by the same swiss food/coffee corporation. Fibres that we believe are most probably hydrogel-filled carbon nanotubes. Dr T also found the same fibres in the blue surgical face masks as shown in these videos. The good news is that the fibres are large, almost visible to the naked eye and easily caught by water filtering. Our basic tests confirmed filtering did get rid of these fibres. Other than acquiring trusted spring water, the next best option is probably the top-end and highly-priced Berkey water filters. These work well and are affordable to run once you’ve paid the initial £400 or so cost to buy one. However, some doubt their efficiency and the cheaper alternatives have mixed reviews. However, this might be due to copies being sold on amazon and ebay so don't buy a Berkey there! (more on Berkey in upcoming emails) Jug filters are definitely better than not using them. But they are not totally effective. Even the admired 'Zero' filter failed to eliminate fluoride in tests run by Mike Adams. As he said previously: "...Fluoride is an extremely difficult element to work with due to its high reactivity (which is one reason why you probably shouldn't drink it). It is also very difficult to remove from water..." What about tap water? Tap water is far from pure, made worse by the toxic chemicals that have been added to ‘clean’ it. Roland Gilmore sent this detailed run down on the state of UK tap water. Hi Mark There are a number of problems with mains "drinking water" quality that followed on from the government selling off these monopolies. At privatisation, The Drinking Water Inspectorate was formed. Sounds reassuring however; DWI cannot tell water companies what to test for. It is in the water company's gift to decide what they test for. I did an FoI request some years ago on this subject and that was the response. My request was centered around agricultural chemical runoff including glyphosate and the two most common pesticides. Back in the early 2010s there was an EU proposal to require water companies and municipalities to remove pharmaceutical residues from drinking/potable water. As you should know, any new EU Directive must be agreed by all member states. The Water Companies said that it would add £80 a year to domestic bills. The UK Government objected on the grounds of cost and so, the Directive was never adopted. The situation with contaminated mains water is probably at its worst in London. Most of London's drinking water is abstracted from the non-tidal Thames to the west of the city at Hampton. Upstream there are 125 sewage treatment works that discharge to the Thames. Sewage treatment processes do not break down pharmaceutical residues such as estrogen from the millions of women taking birth control pills, metformin from those with diabetes and powerful cancer drugs. Scientific research has shown that estrogen in particular is leading to aquatic organisms in the river (and tributaries) changing gender and fish becoming hermaphrodites. There are also problems with high levels of phosphates and nitrates. The only plant extracting phosphates is at Reading. It is commercially successful. As you point out, distillation is expensive because of the energy required. Activated charcoal filters do remove many pollutants but also remove some beneficial, bioavailable nutrients. The only economically sustainable, long term solution is legislation requiring water companies to supply truly wholesome drinking water. Kind regards, Roland Gilmore PS Cocaine residue has been found in molluscs in the Thames Tideway. Swimming in the Thames is risky, particularly after discharges from Mogden STW (believe it or not, allowed by the Environment Agency). Also, not every sewer overflow is being connected to the Thames Tideway Tunnel (e.g. at Barnes) Rowers at Putney receive alerts from Thames Water when Mogden is releasing untreated water. Chlorine Chlorine can be filtered out from drinking water, though it also needs to be taken out from shower water. Chlorine can be neutralised by using Vitamin C in shower heads in the same way as pure Vit C powder can be added to water tanks or containers. Very little is needed. If you can’t get rid of the chlorine before ingesting it, or if you’ve been swimming in a chlorine-rich swimming pool, a high dose of Vitamin C will help the body detox from what has been absorbed. Flouride Flouride is harder to get rid of and many standard tabletop filters fail on this level. Distilling is how we can get guaranteed purity. Water reaches boiling point, the water evaporates leaving the contaminants behind. The steam, which is pure H20, then is condensed back into pure water. The same trick is used in desalination plants turning seawater into drinking water. Distilled water is also too pure and needs remineralising. The distillers we feature have these winning attributes.

Unpacking Video To conclude, there is no perfect option but for sure, never drink tap water. I'd ask locally where the nearest spring is. This is a US service to find a local spring. If anyone knows of a way to find UK springs other than asking locally, please let me know. UPDATE: (Sept 23 - thanks David W) UK drinkable springs. https://www.facebook.com/Britains.Drinkable.Springs/ Professor Michael Clark wrote back with this information. In response to your request for publically available spring water I would recommend the Malvern Hills springs of which there are several. The public has access to filling up containers with the water as there is no restriction placed. This could change but for the moment Malvern Hills spring water is still freely available. Kind regards Professor Michael Clark Nothing beats structured spring water. In future posts, I will share some details on how to make structured water at home.

- BONE BREAKING FREQUENCIES
Republishing this article from May 23rd 2022 WIRELESS RADIATION AND OSTEOPOROSIS Arthur has done it again. After suffering a fracture himself he did a deep dive discovering research that bones are breaking at an unprecedented rate, By Arthur Firstenberg I was astonished by the number of people who contacted me after I broke my arm telling me they had broken theirs too -- some of them this year, and others within the last few years. It occurred to me to wonder: has there been a significant increase in osteoporosis and bone fractures around the world? and if so, is this yet another health effect caused by the use of cell phones and their infrastructure irradiating our bones as well as the rest of our bodies? I remembered reading some fascinating facts about bones in the groundbreaking 1985 book, The Body Electric, written by orthopedic surgeon Robert O. Becker. Bones, he discovered, are semiconductors, and they owe their electrical properties to being doped with tiny amounts of copper. The atoms of copper, he found, bond electrically to both apatite crystals and collagen fibers -- the two main components of bone -- and hold them together, “much as wooden pegs fastened the pieces of antique furniture to each other.” “Osteoporosis,” wrote Becker, “comes about when copper is somehow removed from the bones. This might occur not only through chemical/metabolic processes, but by a change in the electromagnetic binding force, allowing the pegs to ‘fall out.’ It’s possible that this could result from a change in the overall electrical fields throughout the body or from a change in those surrounding the body in the environment.” I also remembered, from the old Soviet Union literature, summarized in my 1997 book, Microwaving Our Planet, that radio frequency radiation redistributes metals throughout the body. With these facts in mind, I have searched the world’s medical literature for studies on the incidence of both osteoporosis and fractures, and the evidence seems fairly conclusive: (1) There has been an enormous increase in the incidence of both osteoporosis and bone fractures of all types throughout the world in children and adults since about 1950; (2) the incidences of both continue to rise, worldwide; (3) most studies published in the past couple of decades have found that osteoporosis in children is correlated with the amount of time spent daily looking at screens; (4) rates of osteoporosis do not correlate with the amount of time children spend sitting but not looking at screens; and (5) these trends are independent of the amount of exercise people get. The authors of these studies have been at a loss to explain their findings, but they are easily explained when one remembers the electrical properties of bones, and the effects that cell phone and computer screens, all emitting radiation, are likely to have on bones and on the copper atoms within them -- and that exposure to radiation from radio, TV, radar, and (more recently) cell tower antennas has increased tremendously since World War II. Here is a sampling of the studies I have collected: Louis V. Avioli reviewed the world’s literature in 1991. During the second half of the twentieth century, he found, both osteoporosis and fracture rates had risen dramatically in the United States, Canada, Norway, Sweden, Spain, Italy, the UK, Belgium, Australia, and elsewhere. The incidence rate of hip fractures in the United States had been increasing by about 40% per decade. (1) M.L. Grundill and M.C. Burger, in 2021, found that the incidence rate of hip fractures in a population in South Africa had more than doubled in men and almost sextupled in women compared to what had been reported in 1968. (2) Emmanuel K. Dretakis et al. found that the annual number of hip fractures in Crete increased 21% in just four years, from 1982 to 1986, while the population over 50 remained the same. (3) Hiroshi Koga et al. examined the records of children aged 6 to 14 in Niigata, Japan. The incidence rate of all fractures more than doubled from the early 1980s to the early 2000s in both girls and boys, and almost tripled in girls in junior high school. (4) P. Lüthje et al. found that the incidence rate of hip fractures throughout Finland quadrupled between 1968 and 1988. (5) In 2012 Ambrish Mithal and Parjeet Kaur found that hip fracture rates had increased two- to three-fold throughout Asia during the previous 30 years. (6) Hiroshi Hagino et al. found that hip fracture rates in Tottori Prefecture, Japan had risen by almost 40% between 1986 and 1992, and by more than 60% in men and about 50% in women between 1986 and 2001. Increases in fracture rates occurred not only in the elderly, but in people in their 30s and 40s. (7) In 1989 Karl J. Obrant et al. did an analysis of fracture trends in Malmö, Sweden, where all X-rays have been saved since the beginning of the twentieth century. They found that the yearly number of fractures in that city had increased seven-fold between 1951 and 1985, and the incidence rate of fractures among children had doubled between 1950 and 1979. “There are signs that there is a deterioration of the quality of the skeleton in successive generations,” wrote the authors. “With the same or even diminished trauma, we sustain more serious and more comminuted fractures today than previously.” The increase had nothing to do with changing estrogen levels, because fracture rates had increased even more in men than in women. The daily consumption of both calcium and Vitamin D had increased during that time. But the incidence of hip fractures was higher in cities than in rural environments where, we know, there was less radiation. (8) Haiyu Shao et al., in 2015, looking at hours per day spent playing video games by Chinese adolescents, found that adolescents with longer video game time were more likely to have lower bone mass density in their legs, trunk, pelvis, spine, and whole body. (9) Anne Winther et al., studying 15- to 18-year-olds in Tromsø, Norway in 2010-2011, found that longer screen time was associated with lower bone mass density in both boys and girls, regardless of the amount of daily physical activity, calcium intake, vitamin D, alcohol consumption, smoking habits, height or weight. (10) Sebastien Chastin, examining youths aged 8 to 22 in the U.S. in 2005-2006, found that screen-based sitting was associated with lower bone mass density in hips and spine. Non-screen-based sitting was not associated with lower bone mass density. (11) Natalie Lundin et al. found that annual incidence rates of pelvic and hip socket fractures in Sweden increased 25% from 2001 to 2016, and that increasing incidence rates were seen in all age groups. (12) Daniel Jerrhag et al. found that the incidence rate of forearm fractures in Sweden was 23% higher in 2010 compared with 1999, and that the increase was greater in men and women 17 to 64 years of age than in the elderly. (13) Michiel Herteleer et al. found that the incidence rate of pelvic and hip socket fractures in Belgium doubled between 1988 and 2006, and rose another 26% by 2018. (14) Neeraj M. Patel found that the annual incidence rate of fractures in children aged 6 to 18 in New York State almost quadrupled between 2006 and 2015. (15) A reader alerted me to research proving that electromagnetic radiation causes osteoporosis. A 2016 study in Turkey by Kunt et al. found that electrical workers had significantly lower bone mass density, as well as an increased tendency to severe osteoporosis, than a control population. The average age of both groups was 38. Sieroń-Stołtny et al., in an astounding experiment in Poland, kept 10 young rats in a plastic cage for 28 days and put one Nokia 5110 mobile phone underneath the cage. The phone operated in silent mode and was only turned on for 15 seconds every half hour between 9:00 a.m. and 1:00 p.m. and again between 2:00 p.m. and 6:00 p.m. In other words, the animals were exposed for a total of four minutes per day for 28 days. Ten control animals were in an identical cage but without a mobile phone beneath it. At the end of the experiment, the rats were sacrificed and examined. The vertebrae of the exposed rats weighed on average 12.5% less than the vertebrae of the unexposed rats. The leg bones of the exposed rats had on average 12.44% less calcium and fractured more easily. Most of the calcium loss occurred during the first week of exposure. Blood analysis also indicated that collagen was lost from the bones. In 2013, Ahmet Aslan et al., in Turkey, exposed 30 five-month-old rats, whose legs had been broken, to mobile phone radiation for 30 minutes per day, 5 days per week, for 8 weeks. At the end of 8 weeks, healing was significantly delayed in the exposed compared to the unexposed rats. In 2011, Fernando Saraví, in Argentina, found that carrying a mobile phone on your hip causes osteopenia in that hip. Men who carried their phone on their right hip had lower bone mass density in their right hip than in their left hip. Men who carried their phone on their left hip had lower bone mass density in their left hip. And from readers: Marie-Reine, in Québec, broke her left humerus in three pieces on April 2. A friend of hers in Nova Scotia broke her humerus in March. Jackie, in Wisconsin, writes that she developed osteoporosis after she moved into a house with radio towers outside her bedroom window. Leonore, in Massachusetts, writes: “A friend who never broke a bone in his life, recently broke his femur when he tripped playing basketball.” Sara, age 55, wonders why she suddenly became susceptible to breaking bones in 2018. She broke a bone in her right foot that year, and then in 2021 she broke a bone in her left foot. “The thing that was so odd about both of these incidents is that I did almost nothing to provoke it. In one case I was trying to keep my sandal from getting sucked off my foot by the current during a rafting trip. All I was doing was flexing my foot. The second time I just tripped while inside my house, walking on a flat surface and I ended up with a fracture.” Denise, age 66, broke her hip on April 19. Her father and mother, in their eighties, both broke hips several years ago, and this March her mother broke her other hip. Marilyn, in California, writes that “Despite a strong exercise history and a strong healthy diet, I have been plagued with two broken hips (femur necks) and a fractured shoulder” since “a cluster of cell towers were installed 100 feet from my bedroom.” WIFI ROUTERS AND MICROWAVE OVENS Don, in Idaho, writes: “This year we relocated our seedlings next to the router in our pantry for convenience. We have experienced an across-the-board failure with them. Skinny plants, some of them dead. This includes tomato seedlings. Your email really struck a chord with me. Thank you!” Carolyn, in France, writes: “This is the first time I have ever heard anyone else say that they had stomach pain from eating restaurant food that had been microwaved! I have realized the same thing -- that foods that I normally eat with no problem, cause me stomach pain, often severe when I eat it in a restaurant in which it has most likely been cooked or reheated in a microwave. I can usually sense it with the first bite I take as well -- it just doesn’t feel right… I have to be so careful about ordering things that will be definitely cooked fresh, and request that nothing be heated in a microwave. Sometimes I forget though, and then I pay for it.” Read Arthurs ground breaking book INVISIBLE RAINBOW Here is a brief book summary https://www.notonthebeeb.co.uk/post/invisible-rainbow The last 39 newsletters, including this one, are available for viewing on the Newsletters page of the Cellular Phone Task Force.

- THE INVISIBLE RAINBOW - A QUICK READ SUMMARY in 11 LANGUAGES
NOTB 'BOOK OF THE CENTURY' The Invisible Rainbow: A History of Electricity and Life (2017) by Arthur Firstenberg TRANSLATIONS OF THE SUMMARY ARE AVAILABLE IN: ENGLISH - FRENCH - ITALIAN - SPANISH - GERMAN Arabic Hungarian Chinese Czech Bulgarian Portugese I've bought 5 copies of The Invisible Rainbow for friends and family. However, it is a doorstopper of a book, that I know a few friends admire on the coffee table, but have not read. A large proportion of the book is the extensive reference section to back every droplet of fact, as we are taken on a wild journey through the history of electricity to a world-view changing conclusion. For those that don't have time, or would just like a taster, here is a 20 min fast-read summary of the key points within the book. The whole book in a few easy-to-consume bite-size chunks. But first here are two forewards to whet your appetite. The first is from Dr T and the second is from Dr Andrew Goldsworthy DR T - RETIRED GP It is hard to comprehend how systematic and deliberate the silencing of the harm that electromagnetic radiation causes has been. It is not accidental that the very youngest have been 'educated' into regarding many of the devices that have incredibly high EMF radiation as essential for their lives. Whatever age we are we have been programmed to accept more and more EMF radiation into our lives. The other side of this is that those canaries in the coal mines that have been suffering from severe effects of the EMF radiation have been mocked and dismissed by all forms of the biased media. Startling instances of men, women and children suffering harm have been suppressed. Moving forward to our present time we can now see that so many of these devices that are causing harm are also part of surveillance capitalism. It is little wonder that this agenda of 'smart' everything would be pushed forward regardless of any harm it may be causing. This book is so valuable in that it tells the story from the beginning and is immensely readable (yes, I know it's long), and then has all that evidence to back up what is written. I knew this book was important when it arrived as a gift from Mark, and I have been recommending it to others ever since. Knowledge is power. Dr T DR ANDREW GOLDSWORTHY RETIRED BIOLOGICAL SAFETY OFFICER IMPERIAL COLLEGE - LONDON This is an excellent summary of Arthur Firstenberg's book "The Invisible Rainbow", which is itself a much longer summary of the timeline linking the exposure of animals (especially humans) and plants to a wide range of illnesses and metabolic disorders. These include microwave sickness (aka electromagnetic hypersensitivity) diabetes, heart attacks, cancer and many more. The villain of the piece is pulsed and other alternating electromagnetic fields in the environment that interfere with electric currents used by our own bodies and, in particular, the electric currents that flow through our cell membranes. Their main effect is to make these membranes leak. This short circuits and reduces the normal voltage (trans-membrane potential) that provides the energy for most of our bodily functions In effect, they starve us of our energy and this can have all sorts of unexpected effects. For example, the mitochondria (the cells' powerhouses) use an electrochemical gradient across their membranes generated from the food we eat to make ATP, which is the main energy currency of our cells. But this ATP is used by the external membrane of the cell to absorb nutrients and excrete toxic byproducts, So, not only do these electromagnetic fields starve us of energy (giving, among other things, symptoms of chronic fatigue) they also poison us with our own toxins. Also, since ATP is needed by our immune systems, we become more susceptible to disease and also to cancer, which arises from the inability of the immune system to weed out precancerous cells. That said, the body does try to fight back. In particular, the inflow of calcium ions through our leaking cell membranes stimulates metabolic activity in general and repair mechanisms in particular. If you think about it, this is the only way that a cell can "know" that its membrane has been damaged. But the increased metabolic activity needed to repair the damage has side effects, particularly on the cells of the nervous system. Here the extra activity makes our sensory cells send false signals to the brain to give us the symptoms of electrical hypersensitivity, including ADHD as our brain cells become hyperactive and pain and false feelings of heat or cold anywhere on our body. When the inner ear is affected, we may experience tinnitus, loss of balance and all the symptoms of motion sickness, including nausea. It is not nice to be electrosensitive and no one knows this more than Arthur Firstenberg, who is the most electrosensitive person that I have ever come across Please read on to see more details and the observations and experiments that inspired Arthur to write his book, "The Invisible Rainbow".

About Arthur Firstenberg the author Arthur Firstenberg is a scientist and journalist who is at the forefront of a global movement to tear down the taboo surrounding this subject. After graduating Phi Beta Kappa from Cornell University with a degree in mathematics, he attended the University of California, Irvine School of Medicine from 1978 to 1982. Injury by X-ray overdose cut short his medical career. For the past thirty-seven years he has been a researcher, consultant, and lecturer on the health and environmental effects of electromagnetic radiation, as well as a practitioner of several healing arts. About the Book This remarkably well-documented and -referenced book is a cornerstone in the sense that it traces the deployment of electricity in our civilization, in terms of its interaction with living organisms, from its initial discovery in the 1740s all the way to our time, and even projected into the future. It should be noted that the title refers to the entire electromagnetic spectrum comprising the colors of the rainbow, including the invisible frequencies such as radio frequencies and the fields generated around conducting wires. THE SUMMARY PART 1 1. Captured in a Bottle 1746 saw the first discoveries involving electricity in Europe. Leyden’s experiment consisted of revealing the electric fluid by means of rubbing the hand on a glass globe spun rapidly on its axis. The static electricity thus produced made a great impression in the schools, fairs and on private persons who had the financial means to acquire this device, with some producing electrical arcs and others brief electric shocks. The phenomenon was so popular that it was not socially acceptable to suggest that electricity could be dangerous, even though the shocks caused headaches, nosebleeds and fatigue in certain experimenters and in the animals used in the tests. Society was taken over by electromania and the most fervent exponents of being electroshocked in good company between two glasses of champagne began to perceive harmful symptoms. In spite of this, the medical establishments equipped themselves with the Leyden flask (the forerunner of the condenser), for the purpose of carrying out medical experiments for abortions or other applications. In this way a completely new field of knowledge emerged concerning the biological effects of electricity on people, plants and animals – knowledge that was then much more extensive than that of our contemporary physicians, who daily see patients suffering from the effects of electricity without recognizing them for what they are, and who are generally ignorant of the very existence of this knowledge. 2. The Deaf to Hear, and the Lame to Walk Noting the – rarely positive, and far more often negative – effects of the application of electrical voltage on living organisms, the researchers and physicians concluded that living organisms function in conjunction with electricity. Certain cures were brought about using electricity – as for example in 1851, when the neurologist Duchenne treated deafness in dozens of patients by means of locally applied electrical impulses. Experiments were carried out – notably by Volta in Italy, as well as other researchers in the western world – which found evidence that the nervous, cardiac, cardiovascular, gustatory, sudatory and other systems could be stimulated using the electricity produced by galvanic couples. It was found that the number of curative effects were significantly fewer than the harmful effects that were listed, which include the symptoms of electro-sensitivity (ES) known today, such as headaches, dizziness, nausea, mental confusion, fatigue, depression, insomnia, etc. 3. Electrical Sensitivity The French botanist Thomas-François Dalibard – who carried out electrical experiments on living organisms – confided in a letter to Benjamin Franklin dated 1762 that he was unable to continue his work as his own organism had developed an intolerance to electricity. He was one of the first people to be officially declared electro-hypersensitive (EHS). Reading that account, it is clear that this botanist must have been severely affected. Other professors and researchers had the same unfortunate experience and were thus forced to stop their work. Even the famous Benjamin Franklin was affected by a neurological illness during his researches on electricity from 1753 onwards, and the symptoms are largely reminiscent of electro-hypersensitivity. So much so that, at the end of the 18th century, it was generally acknowledged that electricity could make people ill, depending on the sex, the morphology and the physical condition of the individual concerned. It had similarly been observed that certain individuals reacted strongly to changes in the weather, which often correlated with electrical changes in the atmosphere. The names of some of those individuals are still famous today – among them Christopher Columbus, Dante, Charles Darwin, Benjamin Franklin, Goethe, Victor Hugo, Leonardo da Vinci, Martin Luther, Michelangelo, Mozart, Napoleon, Rousseau and Voltaire. 4. The Road Not Taken During the 1790s, science was faced with an identity crisis regarding the interpretation and unification of the four different fluids – electricity, light, magnetism and heat. Where electricity was concerned, on the one hand there was Luigi Galvani, who regarded electricity as an integral part of the living organism, and on the other Volta's theory that electricity was only a “secondary” effect of internal chemical reactions in the living organism. Volta, the inventor of the extremely useful electric battery, which had the potential to become a great money-spinner, succeeded in winning the argument against the more global view of the interaction between electricity and the living organism. 5. Chronic Electrical Illness From the end of the 19th century onwards, urban landscapes were transformed by the installation of telegraph lines throughout the industrialized countries. This technology used voltages of the order of 80 volts on a single conductor, with the return current being earthed. That period saw the emergence of the first stray currents to which living beings were exposed. It was then that one saw the appearance of diseases of civilization such as neurasthenia, which afflicted Frank Lloyd Wright and Theodore Roosevelt, among other well-known figures. It should be noted in passing that neurasthenia is very similar to electrohypersensitivity, which is the more modern term for the same sensitivity to electricity. Around half of the telegraphists who were employed to manipulate the electrical current sent through the lines, and were thus exposed to very strong electromagnetic fields, were afflicted by telegraphic sickness. Once again, the symptoms were the same as those of EHS. Later on, in around 1915, it was the telephone operators who were experiencing the same symptoms – for they were exposed to electromagnetic fields from the communications for hours on end at their desks. In 1989, it was noted that in Winnipeg 47% of the telephone operators were suffering from the same symptoms. However, in 1894, the noted Viennese psychiatrist Sigmund Freud wrote an article whose effect was disastrous for all the unfortunates who suffered from telegraphic sickness, neurasthenia, microwave syndrome or EHS. Rather than seeing the external cause ‒ which was electromagnetic pollution – he attributed these symptoms to disordered thoughts or poorly controlled emotions. As a result, today millions of citizens affected by electronic smog are being medicated instead of reducing their exposure to this pollutant. Sigmund Freud renamed neurasthenia – which was known to be caused by electricity – as a neurosis anxiety, an anxiety attack or a panic attack. This opened the way for the reckless deployment of electrification to continue unimpeded. It should be noted that in Russia, neurasthenia is listed as an environmental illness, as Freud's damaging redefinition was rejected there. 6. The Behavior of Plants Sir Jagadis Chunder Bose and other researchers conducted numerous electrical experiments on plants and other living organisms, whose results showed definite effects. He discovered that the nerves of plants or animals display variable behavior and that their resistivity can vary considerably, depending on the application of the current and its polarity. He also noted that the intensity of current necessary to modify the conductivity of the nerves is infinitesimal in terms of the voltage applied – something in the order of 0.3 microamperes (0.3*10-6). That current is significantly less than the current that is induced through a telephone conversation using a cell phone. Bose likewise discovered that the threshold of a current’s bioactivity is 1 femtoampere (1*10-15)! As this researcher was also familiar with radio-frequency transmissions, he carried out an experiment in which a plant was exposed to a radio signal of 30 MHz at a distance of about 218 yards (200 meters) and found that the plant's growth was retarded during the emission period. He likewise showed that the circulation of sap in the plant slowed down when it was irradiated by the same radio signal. 7. Acute Electrical Illness During the 1880s, London was supplied with direct current, but certain physicists had discovered that the distribution of alternating current generated fewer ohmic losses in the wires. There followed a battle of the currents, even though many scientists, including Edison, strongly criticized the more dangerous effects of alternating current. Ironically, it’s precisely because alternating current is more harmful that it is used in the electric chair. And as everyone knows, the electrical current of the power grid is... alternating! In 1889, full-scale electrification was carried out in the USA and, shortly thereafter, in Europe. That same year, as if by chance, doctors were inundated with cases of flu, which had until then appeared only infrequently. The victims’ symptoms were far more neurological in nature, resembling neurasthenia, and did not include respiratory disorders. The pandemic lasted for four years and killed at least a million people. In 2001, Canadian astronomer Ken Tapping showed that the influenza pandemics over the previous three centuries correlated with peaks in solar magnetic activity, on an 11- year cycle. It has also been found that some outbreaks of influenza spread over enormous areas in just a few days – a fact that is difficult to explain by contagion from one person to another. Also, numerous experiments seeking to prove direct contagion through close contact, droplets of mucus or other processes have proved fruitless. From 1933 to the present day, virologists have been unable to present any experimental study proving that influenza spreads through normal contact between people. All attempts to do so have met with failure. 8. Mystery on the lsle of Wight In 1904, bees began to die on the Isle of Wight following the installation of radio transmitters by Marconi. These transmitters work at frequencies close to megahertz levels. On the other side of the Channel, Jacques-Arsène d'Arsonval showed that “sharp and hooked” electromagnetic signals are far more toxic than sinusoidal signals. The truth was that, after a year and a half of experimenting with radio transmitters in full health at the age of 22, Marconi began to develop fevers. These attacks continued for the rest of his life. In 1904, while working on setting up a transmitter powerful enough for transatlantic communications, these fevers became so intense that they were thought to be malaria. In 1905, he married Beatrice O'Brien and after their honeymoon, they settled on the island close to a transmitter. As soon as Beatrice had settled in, she began to complain of tinnitus. After three months, she fell ill with severe jaundice. She had to return to London to give birth to a baby who only lived for a few weeks and died of “unknown causes.” During the same period, Marconi spent several months suffering from fever and delirium. Between 1918 and 1921, he suffered suicidal depression while working on a shortwave transmitter. In 1927, while on his honeymoon from his second marriage, he collapsed with chest pain and was diagnosed with serious cardiac disorders. Between 1934 and 1937, while he was developing microwave technology, he had nine heart attacks – the final one killing him at the age of 63. On the same island, at Osborne House, Queen Victoria suffered cerebral hemorrhages and died on the evening of January 22nd 1901, just as Marconi was putting a new transmitter into operation less than 13 miles away. In 1901 there were “only” two transmitters, while in 1904 there were four, making this island the most irradiated place on the planet, leaving bees no room for survival. In 1906, a survey revealed that 90% of the bees had completely disappeared for no apparent reason. New colonies were brought to the island, but these likewise died within a week. This epidemic spread across England and then across the western world, and then gradually stabilized, until the armies equipped themselves with various high-powered radio transmitters towards the end of the First World War – triggering (as we have seen) the Spanish flu pandemic in 1918, which actually began in the United States, at the Naval Radio School of Cambridge, Massachusetts, with 400 initial cases. This epidemic rapidly spread to 1,127 soldiers at Funston Camp (Kansas), where wireless connections had been installed. What intrigued the doctors was that while 15% of the civilian population were suffering from nosebleeds, 40% of the Navy suffered from them. Other bleeding also occurred, and a third of those who died did so due to internal hemorrhaging of the lungs or brain. In fact, it was the composition of the blood that had been altered, as the measured coagulation time was more than twice as long as normal. These symptoms are incompatible with the effects of the influenza respiratory viruses, but totally consistent with the devastating effects of electricity. Another incongruity was that two-thirds of the victims were healthy young people. A further atypical flu symptom was that the pulse slowed to rates of between 36 and 48, whereas this is a common result of exposure to electromagnetic fields. In addition, it was possible to successfully treat some sufferers with massive doses of calcium. The military physician Dr George A. Soper testified that the virus was spreading faster than the speed of movement of people. Various experiments were conducted attempting to infect subjects either by direct close contact or by inoculation with mucus or blood – but the experimenters were unable to demonstrate any infection by this means. It can be seen that each new influenza pandemic corresponds to a new advance in electrical technology, such as the Asian flu of 1957-58, following the installation of a powerful radar surveillance system, and the outbreak of Hong Kong flu from July 1968 onwards, following the commissioning of 28 military satellites for space surveillance at the altitude of the Van Allen belts, which protect us from cosmic radiation. 9. Earth’s Electric Envelope With a core consisting mainly of iron, the rotating earth is primarily protected by the ionosphere, then the plasma sphere – delimited by the Van Allen radiation belts at an altitude of between 1,000 and 55,000 km – and by its tail: the magnetosphere, which is exposed to solar winds originating from our sun and constitutes a kind of dynamo, a complex electrical system. The exchanges of electricity between the earth's crust, the atmosphere and even the ionosphere are permanent and constant. They are in a delicate balance, and a kind of electrical “respiration” of the entire system has allowed life to develop on our planet, which is charged with negative ions, balanced by the positively charged ionosphere. An average vertical electrical field of the order of 130 volts per meter can be observed, with values that can, for example, rise to 4,000 volts per meter during storms. In 1953, one of the primary parameters of this electrical oscillation of our environment was discovered, in the form of (Winfried) Schumann’s frequencies, which “respire” at 7.83 hertz, with harmonics at 14, 20, 26, 32 Hz, called very low frequencies (VLF). It is no wonder that the organisms living in this environment are imbued with these physical values and that, for example, our brain rhythms lie within these frequency ranges – such as the alpha rhythm, which lies between 8 and 13 Hz. While we perceive the visible frequencies – ranging from blue to red – of the electromagnetic spectrum, some animals are able to see other electromagnetic frequencies – such as bees, which can see ultraviolet frequencies, or those salamanders or catfish which can see the low electrical frequencies, while snakes are able to see the infrared frequencies. Laboratory experiments on hamsters, for example, showed that reducing the temperature and shortening the duration of daylight was not enough to put them into hibernation. Similarly, hamsters raised in Faraday cages refused to hibernate, even though the light and temperature parameters corresponded to those of winter, until the Faraday protection was removed. Other experiments were conducted, such as that carried out at the Max Plank Institute in 1967 by the physiologist Rütger Wever, using two buried rooms without windows or outside contact – one shielded from natural electromagnetic fields, the other one not. It was shown that in the shielded chamber, the circadian rhythms of the volunteers became desynchronized and could vary between 12 and 65 hours, accompanied by metabolic disorders, while the subjects in the chamber immersed in the earth's fields kept a coherent rhythm of around 24 hours and their metabolism continued to function more normally. It has been scientifically demonstrated that a living organism needs to be bathed in the electromagnetic system of our natural environment in order to function well. Moreover acupuncture, the ancient method used in Traditional Chinese Medicine, works by using our own electrical properties and modifying the energy flow of the meridians. It has been known for some time (since the 1950s) that these meridians actually correspond to electrical circuits and that the Chinese Qi corresponds to the concept of electricity. These meridians serve dual functions: they not only transport information and energy internally from one organ of the body to another, but also serve as antennas for picking up the flow of environmental electromagnetic energy. In the early 1970s, atmospheric physicists discovered that the earth's magnetic field was significantly disturbed by human electrical activity. By injecting a signal into space and capturing its echo, it was established that the initial signal had in fact been modified by multiples of the 60 Hz power grid used in North America. However, this discovery did not prevent the HAARP project from being launched to deliberately modify the electromagnetic properties of our planet. Similarly, the Van Allen belts that protect us from cosmic rays have already been altered by our electrical activity – and it may be that these double belts were originally only a single belt which, under the influence of the human emission of electric charges into space, has been depleted at its centre. Satellite observations show that the radiation emitted by high voltage lines often has the effect of suppressing the natural radiation of lightning. In light of this fact, it is logical to conclude that the influenza pandemics of recent decades are linked to human electrical activity. 10. Porphyrins and the Basis of Life Any transformation of energy in the biological domain involves porphyrins [pigments made up of four pyrrole molecules]. The fact that our nerves are able to function properly is thanks in part to porphyrins, which play a role in our cell processes. These are special molecules that function as the interface between oxygen and life. These molecules are highly reactive and interact with toxic metals or synthetic elements derived from oil, and with electromagnetic fields – which, in excess, cause porphyria, which is more an environmental sensitivity than a disease. Dr. William E. Morton's research showed that 90% of people with multiple chemical sensitivity (MCS) are deficient in one form of porphyrin enzyme or another, as are electro- hypersensitive individuals – which means that the two forms of sensitivity are only different manifestations, with one and the same cause. Porphyria, which was discovered in 1891, afflicts about 10% of today’s population and first appeared at the same time as the general electrification of the western world from 1889 onwards. Porphyrins are central to the effects of electronic smog, because they not only cause EHS, MCS or porphyria, but also cardiovascular diseases, cancer and diabetes, as they are involved in a multitude of energetic biological processes. In the 1960s, the biologists Allan Frey and Wlodzimierz Sedlak showed that our organisms definitely have a bioelectronic component, and that some of our cells sometimes behave like conductors or capacitors or semi-conductors (transistors), like the components that we find in our electronic devices. This is the case with myelin – the sheath that covers our nerves – which contains porphyrin bonded to zinc. Should environmental poisons such as chemical products or toxic metals affect this equilibrium, the myelin sheath will be damaged, which alters the excitability of the nerves it surrounds. The entire nervous system then becomes hyperresponsive to stimuli of all kinds, such as electromagnetic fields. The system enters a state of divergent instability, the effect becoming the cause. Contrary to the view that mitochondria are the elements of our cells that produce energy, the concept of the myelin sheath as being one giant mitochondrion is beginning to gain credence. The connection between porphyria and zinc was discovered in the 1950s by Henry Peters, at Wisconsin Medical School. Patients suffering from porphyria and neurological symptoms were excreting a great deal of zinc in their urine, which led him to the idea that zinc chelation might improve their condition. He did indeed see an improvement, despite the widespread belief that zinc deficiency is related to those specific disorders. Similarly, certain experiments have shown that zinc chelation improves Alzheimer's disease. An Australian medical team demonstrated in autopsies that the brains of patients with Alzheimer's disease contained twice as much zinc as those of healthy patients. Part2 ...to the presentday 11. Irritable Heart In 1980, cardiac arrest in young athletes was rare, with only nine cases a year. From then on, cases steadily increased by 10% per year until 1996, when the rate suddenly doubled to 64 cases, rising to 66 in the following year and 76 in the last year of the study. The American medical community could find no explanation for this, while in Europe in 2002, German environmental physicians launched an appeal calling for a moratorium on antennas and cell towers, as the waves they were emitting were causing cardiovascular disorders. That was the Freiburg Appeal. Dr. Samuel Milham, an epidemiologist at the Washington State Department of Health, showed through his work that cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and cancer are largely, if not entirely, caused by electricity. Paradoxically, studies of cholesterol dating from the early 20th century did not show that cholesterol levels correlated with a higher risk of heart disease – contrary to what is commonly regarded as fact nowadays. A study of animals at the Philadelphia Zoo showed that from 1916 to 1964, cholesterol levels in mammals and birds increased by a factor of between 10 and 20 even though their diet had remained completely unchanged! The only parameter that had dramatically changed was the increase in radio frequencies. During the Second World War, a number of soldiers complained of symptoms similar to those of neurasthenia. It was initially believed, in accordance with Freud’s doctrine, that these soldiers were suffering from anxiety problems: however, a study of 144 cases was then conducted by Dr. Mandel Cohen. This study revealed that the soldiers were in fact physiologically less resistant and suffered from irritable heart. They had difficulty in assimilating oxygen and had to breathe twice as fast as their comrades in better health in order to get enough oxygen. It emerged that their mitochondria were not functioning efficiently. In the end, the study showed that these soldiers were hypersensitive in a general sense, but particularly to electricity. From the 1950s onwards, scientists in the Soviet Union also observed that radio frequencies altered the electrocardiograms of individuals exposed to them, as they modified mitochondrial efficiency. Graphs showing the statistics for death rates from heart disease broken down by the degree of electrification of the American states in 1931 and 1940 are also very explicit and leave no doubt as to the toxicity of electromagnetic fields for the heart, thus exonerating cholesterol and diets deemed too high in fat. 12. The Transformation of Diabetes Thomas Edison, who was involved in discoveries relating to electrical technology and was therefore exposed to electromagnetic fields to a far greater extent than his fellow citizens of the time, was diagnosed with diabetes – a disease that was very rare in 1889. Another researcher, Alexander Graham Bell, who worked in the field of telegraphy and invented the telephone, was known to constantly complain of the symptoms of neurasthenia, known as EHS today. In 1915, he too was diagnosed with diabetes. In 1876, the book Diseases of Modern Life by Ward Richardson described diabetes as a rare modern disease caused by mental exhaustion due to overwork or by a shock to the nervous system. The excessive intake of toxic, addictive sugar in our modern diet naturally provides a convenient explanation of why diabetes, including prediabetes, affects more than half of all Americans today. However, this explanation is too simplistic. Dr. Even Joslin showed that between 1900 and 1917, sugar intake had increased by 17% while mortality from diabetes had doubled. Later, in 1987, a study of Native Americans showed radically different rates of death from diabetes, depending on territory, ranging from 7 per thousand in the North-West to 380 per thousand in Arizona! During those years, neither lifestyle nor diet could explain such a divergence. One environmental factor, however, can indeed explain such a difference: the electrification of Native American reservations proceeded at different paces, and those in the North-West were only electrified much later. By contrast, the Arizona reservation lies in the immediate vicinity of Phoenix. Moreover, this Native American community had its own power plant and its own telecommunications system. Another example is the population of Brazil – a major sugar producer for centuries, where diabetes was still unknown in 1870, after it had already emerged as a disease of civilization in North America. Even today, Brazilians consume 70 kg of refined sugar per year and per person – more than North Americans: and yet they still have two and a half times fewer cases of diabetes than the USA. In Bhutan, diabetes was virtually non-existent until 2002, after which the electrification of the country began. In 2004, 634 new cases of diabetes were announced, in 2005 – 944, in 2006 – 1,470, and in 2007 – 2,540, with 15 deaths. In 2012, there were 91 deaths and diabetes was the eighth leading cause of death in the country, even though people’s diet had not changed! As we saw in the previous chapter, electronic smog acting on mitochondria prevents the efficient use of absorbed sugar – i.e. the combustion of sugar. The sugar which cannot be converted into mechanical energy is stored as fat by the body. Statistical graphs for diabetes death rates, broken down by the degree of electrification of the American states in 1931 and 1940, are also very explicit and leave no doubt as to the role played by electromagnetic fields in the appearance of large-scale diabetes, thus exonerating sugar consumption to some extent. In 1997, there was a 31% increase in the number of cases of diabetes in the United States in a single year, which precisely correlated with the mass introduction of cell phones in the country. 13. Cancer and the Starvation of Life In February 2011, the Supreme Court of Italy accused Cardinal Roberto Tucci, the outgoing president of Vatican Radio, of having created a public nuisance by polluting the environment with radio frequencies through negligence. In fact, in the period from 1997 to 2003, the children living within a 12 km radius of the radio antennas had an eight times higher rate of leukemia, lymphomas or myelomas than those who lived further away. The same held true for adults, with a rate seven times higher. The German doctor and professor Otto Heinrich Warburg, winner of the Nobel Prize for Medicine in 1931, showed that cancer is a regression of oxygen-deprived cells, which drives them to multiply anarchically, as in a primeval world where oxygen was not present to the extent that it is today. The initial oxygen deprivation is due to a malfunction of the mitochondria – which, as we have seen, can be caused by electromagnetic fields or other pollutants, such as smoke, pesticides, food additives and air pollution. The same principle of cellular oxygen deficiency applies to diabetes, which is why there is a higher rate of cancers among diabetics than in the rest of the population. At Philadelphia Zoo, from 1901 to 1955, a rise in the rate of malignant tumors was noted in mammals, varying from twice to 22 times more between those dates. Cancer death statistics show a clear correlation between the electrification of countries and cancer rates. For example, in the USA, the rate was 6.6 per thousand from 1841 to 1850. It subsequently more than doubled from 1851 to 1860, with a rate of 14 per thousand. The true explanation for this can be found in the mass deployment of the telegraph in 1854. In 1914, there were two deaths from cancer among the 63,000 Native Americans living in reserves without electrification, while in the rest of the country the cancer mortality rate was 25 times higher. Between 1920 and 1921, following the introduction of the first AM radio stations, cancer mortality increased by between 3 and 10% in western countries. The Swedish researchers Olle Johansson and Orjan Hallberg have shown a clear correlation between breast, prostate and lung cancer rates and the exposure of the population to radio frequencies. They point to a significant increase in rates in 1920, 1955, 1969 and a decrease (!) in 1978, corresponding respectively to the increase in radio frequency smog due to the introduction of AM radio, FM radio and TV1, the arrival of color TV2, and then the cessation of AM radio broadcasts. These same researchers have likewise found a very clear linear correlation between the number of FM radio transmitters per region and the incidence of melanomas, with the exposed locations having 11 times more melanomas than the “white zones”. They also found that melanomas rarely appear on those areas of the body most exposed to the sun, such as the forehead, nose, shoulders and feet, but more often in those areas of the body usually protected from the sun. Moreover, the proliferation of skin cancers occurred before the coming into fashion of seaside holidays, during which sun exposure is intense. This shows that melanomas are not predominantly caused by the sun, but by radio frequencies. The statistical graphs of death rates from cancer, as well as from diabetes and cardiovascular diseases, broken down by the degree of electrification of American states in 1931 and 1940, are likewise very explicit, leaving no doubt whatever that electromagnetic fields play a role in the increase in cancers. Genuine data on brain tumors is hard to find, as the cell phone lobby has been infiltrating this field for decades in order to commission biased studies. One of their studies even shows a decrease in the incidence of tumors, correlating with the intensive use of cell phones! However, the University of Calgary has found evidence of a 30% increase in the incidence of malignant brain tumors in the period from 2012 to 2013, and Lennart Hardell, Professor of Oncology at the University Hospital of Örebro in Sweden, has demonstrated that 2,000 hours of cell phone use increases the risk of developing a tumor by a factor of between three and eight, depending on the age of the subject and their phone habits. In 2000, Neil Cherry analyzed the cancer rates of children in San Francisco in relation to the distance between their home and the television and FM radio transmitters on Sutro Tower. Children living on hills or ridges were more affected. Those who lived within 1 km of the antenna had a 9 times higher incidence of leukemia, a 15 times higher incidence of lymphoma and a 31 times higher incidence of brain cancer — overall, an 18 times higher rate than those living outside that 1 km radius. 14. Suspended Animation A Practical Treatise on Nervous Exhaustion (1880) by George Miller Beard, the electrotherapist and friend of Thomas Edison, contains an intriguing observation: Although these difficulties are not directly fatal, and so do not appear in the mortality tables; although, on the contrary, they may tend to prolong life and to protect the system against febrile and inflammatory disease, yet the degree of suffering they cause is enormous. Those who suffered the most seemed rather young for their age. Furthermore, Beard noted that one rare disease seemed more likely to afflict the neurasthenic subjects than the rest of the population: that disease was diabetes. Beard had already observed that the increase in life expectancy did not go hand in hand with life quality. The mysterious correlation between the sufferings of neurasthenic people – whose symptoms were the same as those of contemporary electro-hypersensitive people – and the prolongation of their lives pointed to a major dysfunction. In addition, it has long been observed that an ascetic lifestyle with a low-calorie diet can increase life expectancy and health. This is the case, for example, with the population of Okinawa, where the number of centenarians is forty times greater than those in the population of richer prefectures further to the north. Researchers in the field of ageing have pointed out that the force that drives and sustains our lives is the system of electron transport in the mitochondria of our cells. It is here that the air we breathe and the food we eat are combined, at a rate that determines our rate of ageing and hence our life expectancy. Whereas the achievement of a slowing down of the combustion process within our cells through moderating the amount of energy delivered may be beneficial, another way of slowing down may conversely be disastrous. This is the poisoning of the electron transport chain. One possible way of being poisoned is chronic exposure to artificial electromagnetic fields. This ever-increasing pollution subjects the electrons of our mitochondria to external forces, slowing them down, depriving our cells of oxygen and causing EHS symptoms. 15. You mean you can hear electricity? In 1962, a woman contacted the University of Santa Barbara (CA, USA) asking for help in finding the source of the mysterious sound that she was hearing everywhere at home, even though she lived in a quiet residential district. This sound was keeping her awake and was detrimental to her health. Measurements did indeed show that particularly strong electromagnetic fields were emanating from all electrical conductors, not only from the grid but also from the radiators and other metallic elements, yet the stethoscope itself detected no sound at all. The engineer carried out an experiment, recording the measured fields on tape and playing them to the woman affected by these noises. She confirmed that that was what she was hearing. So, this woman was able to hear the electromagnetic fields in her environment. Grounding facilities and electronic filters were installed to reduce disturbances to an acceptable level. However, long before that, Volta and other researchers had already conducted experiments in which they had successfully produced various sounds by applying voltage to the ears. Much later, in the late 1960s, the biologist Allan Frey published articles on the ability of some subjects to hear emissions from a radar installation. The mechanical model of the functioning of the ear as taught in schools does not provide any explanation for these observed phenomena. Noting this, the biochemist Lionel Naftalin developed a new model of the functioning of the human ear, taking into account the well-known phenomenon of piezo-electricity (a force utilized by electronicians), which he discovered in the gel covering the cilia of the inner ear. In this gel, which is found nowhere else in the human body and has special electrical properties, a voltage of 100 to 120 millivolts was present – which is considered high in the field of bioelectronics. This piezo-electric gel transforms sound waves into an electrical signal that is communicated to the cilia of the inner ear. This new, revised model of the functioning of the human ear not only explains the ability of certain subjects to hear an electromagnetic signal under certain conditions, but also why so modern-day people suffer from tinnitus, and why certain groups of people, amounting to 2 to 11% of the world's population, are hearing a global humming all around the planet. Today, about 44% of American adults suffer from tinnitus at various levels of intensity, while in Sweden the number of young people affected was 12% in 1997 and 42% in 2006. These parasitic sounds are largely the result of living in an environment that is heavily polluted with all kinds of artificial electromagnetic fields. 16. Bees, Birds, Trees, and Humans Alfonso Balmori Marinez, a Spanish biologist, has correlated the population density of sparrows with the radio-frequency radiation values in their habitats. Sparrows cannot survive in the most irradiated places, where levels exceed 3 V/m, whereas there are still 42 birds per hectare at levels of 0.1 V/m. He has also observed a marked change in the behavior of storks, whereby stork pairs will fight instead of building the nest or incubating the eggs if they are within 200m of a cell tower. The United Kingdom classed the house sparrow as an endangered species after its population declined by 75% between 1994 and 2002 – a period that coincided with the deployment of cell phone technology. Homing pigeon breeders on several continents have found that, when released, up to 90% of pigeons fail to find their way back to the dovecote, whereas this percentage should normally be tiny. In 2000, English breeders tried to reroute a race so as to avoid cell towers, in order to give the pigeons a better chance of homing successfully. In 2004, those same breeders commissioned more extensive studies on the impact of microwaves on pigeons. In 2002, the US National Park Service issued a note to biologists studying wild animal behavior, explaining that RFID chips attached to those animals to track them with radio frequencies can radically alter their behavior due to the radio frequencies generated. In environments polluted by electromagnetic fields, robins cannot find their bearings for migration – whereas when they are in a Faraday cage, they are able to do so. An experiment on frog tadpoles reared in two separate pools within 140m of a cell tower, one without and the other with electromagnetic shielding, displayed mortality rates of 90% and 4% respectively. The same type of harmful effects are found in insects when they are exposed to the electronic smog that we encounter on a daily basis, and Dr. Panagopoulous, who has experimented on fruit flies, reports that exposure to microwaves at common levels – even for just a few minutes a day for a few days – is the worst known stressor in our daily lives, even worse than chemicals or low-frequency electromagnetic fields. Bees are also being negatively impacted, as we saw on the Isle of Wight at the beginning of this summary. Dr. Daniel Favre (Switzerland) has demonstrated that in the presence of microwaves, bees emit the sound typically heard when they swarm, which suggests that the insects want to escape the emission source. The varroa mite is generally blamed for colony collapse syndrome; however, we forget that this mite has cohabited with bees for a long time. In addition, it can often be observed that nowadays even a dead colony is not infested with parasites, even though this used to be the case “before”. The finger of blame is also levelled at pesticides – yet, as we have seen, 90% of the bees on the Isle of Wight disappeared without any pesticides having been used in that area. The true cause of colony collapse is found in human-generated electromagnetic fields, especially cell phone technology. In the 1980s, a burning issue emerged: the death of forests. This was blamed on acid rain – yet the most remote areas with the cleanest air were equally affected. Research was carried out in Germany and Switzerland, and although the soil in the affected forests did indeed prove to be acidic, observation and experimentation showed that such acidity could also be the result of the slow electrolysis of the soil via trees exposed to radar waves, for example. Moreover, trees on ridges were more severely affected as they were more exposed to the new radars installed in the 1970s. Another observation was made at the time of the fall of the Berlin Wall. The gigantic Russian radars at Skruda, which were heavily irradiating the whole region in their task of monitoring the West, had not only caused harm to the forest, but also to animals and human beings. After numerous studies, it was found that the growth rings of the trees during the years when the radars were operating were much smaller than those from either before or after that period. In Schwarzenburg in Switzerland, a shortwave radio antenna was installed in 1939, and the transmission power was subsequently increased to 450 kW in 1954. This was followed by a deterioration in the health of the local inhabitants, who complained of EHS symptoms. The village children had difficulties at school and seemed unable to advance to higher education, unlike the children of less exposed neighboring villages. Finally, in 1992, a study was carried out which confirmed that, within a radius of 900m of the antenna, the physiological analysis parameters of the people and animals at the site were abnormal. It was also found that the tree growth rings were compressed – but only on the side facing the radiation source. On March 28th 1998, the transmitter was shut down and a “before-and- after” study was carried out; this demonstrated that the melatonin levels of the 58 subjects tested had increased again. A 50-year-old villager was finally able to sleep for a full night without interruption for the first time in his life. On May 29th 1996, Philippe Roch, Director of the Office for the Environment, stated that there was “a proven correlation between the sleep disorders and communications operations". 17. In the Country of the Blind How much longer do we have to wait before being able to say "Your cell phone is killing me!” rather than "I'm electro-hypersensitive”? And yet the number of people suffering from headaches due to using cell phones is huge. In 2010, two-thirds of Ukrainian university students interviewed admitted the fact that it is not socially acceptable to openly discuss this issue. Gro Harlem Brundtland was EHS when she was head of the World Health Organization. She was quite open about the fact, but was forced to resign from her post one year later. This deterred other high-ranking public figures from following her example. Only a minority of people suffering from electromagnetic pollution know what they are suffering from, while the great majority have no idea. The entire population is being electrocuted by remote control and one almost has to apologize for being electro-sensitive or, to be precise, electro-hypersensitive, just as if one had to apologize for being "cyanide- hypersensitive". For the truth is that electricity, as it is currently being used, is toxic. Moreover, statistical graphs clearly show an increase in the mortality rate of the inhabitants of nine American cities shortly after the first base stations were put into operation. This increased mortality ranges from 25 to over 80%. A survey conducted by a daily newspaper, which asked New Yorkers to report whether they had begun suffering from a number of EHS symptoms after November 15th, 1996, gathered hundreds of testimonies from a wide range of racial and social classes. The date in question was the day when the first cell phone network went into operation. The Cellular Phone Task Force, an organization started by Arthur Firstenberg in 1996, is inundated with requests for help from people harmed by microwave radio frequencies. So many emitters of all kinds proliferate – from WiFi, WiMAX, radar stations and irradiation emitted from the sky by telecommunications satellites, that it seems as if soon there will be nowhere to escape to. Prof. Olle Johansson of the prestigious Karolinska Institute, who is famous for awarding the Nobel Prize for Medicine, has focused on demonstrating the effects of electronic smog on living organisms since 1977. The success of his studies led to his being marginalized at his institute, the funding for his research disappearing and to his receiving death threats; on one occasion, he narrowly escaped an attempt on his life through the sabotage of his motorcycle. Despite everything, he continues to inform the world of the truth in order to defend, among others, those suffering from EHS, whose lives have become hell on earth. He is disgusted by the way in which the governments of so-called “democratic” countries have simply abandoned the victims of radio frequencies to their fate. Dr Erica Mallery-Blythe, who has dual British and American nationality, completed her studies in 1998. In 2007, after following her F-16 pilot husband to the USA, she became severely affected by EHS without realizing it. Her internet researches finally enabled her to understand what was happening to her. As a doctor, she was puzzled as to how such a profound and disabling condition could exist without her ever having heard of it in her profession. To set her mind at rest, she decided to undergo an MRI to rule out the risk of brain cancer. She believed that her death was imminent when the high frequency pulsations were engaged, but recovered full health and vitality in Death Valley, far from radio frequencies. Since then, she has dedicated herself to informing and helping the 5% (at least) of the population who are EHS and have been totally abandoned by the authorities. Yury Grigoriev, who is generally regarded as the grandfather of electromagnetic research in Russia, is extremely concerned about young people above all, and has stated that this is the first time in the history of humanity that people’s brains are being openly exposed to microwaves – which is extremely serious in the eyes of a radiobiologist. In particular, he cites a Korean study which shows that attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) in children is connected to the use of cell phones. In the late 1990s, the Swedish neurosurgeon Leif Salford and his team proved that cell phones make the blood-brain barrier permeable, causing Alzheimer's disease. In 2003 they showed that a single exposure of only two hours causes permanent damage to the brain. In 2015, Turkish scientists irradiated rats for an hour a day for a month, using typical cell phone waves. The irradiated rats had 10% fewer brain cells than those that had been spared that treatment. The same team experimented on pregnant rats for 9 days at the same radiation level. The rats’ progeny showed degeneration of the brain, spinal cord, heart, kidneys, liver, spleen, thymus and testicles. The same experiment repeated on young rats caused atrophy of the spinal cord together with decreased myelin, like that seen in multiple sclerosis. In September 1998, the first 66 satellites for space telephony went into operation, causing an increase in the USA’s national mortality rate of nearly 5% in the two subsequent weeks. During the same period, it was observed that birds were no longer flying and that EHS people became particularly ill. Today, about 1,100 artificial satellites fly over us, but several companies – Google, Facebook, SpaceX, OneWeb and Samsung – are planning to launch up to 4,600 new communications satellites each by 2020, in order to blanket the entire planet with high-speed Internet access. In 1968, even the first small fleet of 28 military satellites precipitated a worldwide flu pandemic. Unlike a ground-based antenna, whose radiation is highly attenuated when it reaches the magnetosphere, satellites act directly on it through mechanisms that are still poorly understood, thus compromising life on earth. We forget the warnings of Ross Adey, the grandfather of bioelectromagnetics, and of the atmospheric physicist Neil Cherry, that we are electrically regulated by the world surrounding us and that the safe level of exposure to radio frequencies is therefore zero. This potentially catastrophic initiative must be opposed and the organization leading the way is the Global Union Against Radiation Deployment from Space (GUARDS; www.stopglobalwifi.org/). In 2014, the physician Tetsuharu Shinjyo published a "before-and-after" study. He evaluated the health of 122 inhabitants of a building on which base station antennas had been installed. Twenty-one suffered from chronic fatigue, 14 from dizziness or Ménière’s disease, 14 from headaches, 17 from eye pain or infections, 14 from insomnia and 10 from chronic nosebleeds. Five months after the antennas were removed, only 2 cases of insomnia, 1 case of vertigo and 1 case of headaches remained! This human rights emergency, which affects hundreds of millions of people on a planetary scale, and the environmental emergency that threatens the extinction of countless species of plants and animals must be faced with clear-sighted and unflinching resolutions.

- INVISIBLE RAINBOW - A QUICK READ SUMMARY in 11 LANGUAGES
NOTB 'BOOK OF THE CENTURY' The Invisible Rainbow: A History of Electricity and Life (2017) by Arthur Firstenberg TRANSLATIONS OF THE SUMMARY ARE AVAILABLE IN: ENGLISH - FRENCH - ITALIAN - SPANISH - GERMAN Arabic Hungarian Chinese Czech Bulgarian Portugese I've bought 5 copies of The Invisible Rainbow for friends and family. However, it is a doorstopper of a book, that I know a few friends admire on the coffee table, but have not read. A large proportion of the book is the extensive reference section to back every droplet of fact, as we are taken on a wild journey through the history of electricity to a world-view changing conclusion. For those that don't have time, or would just like a taster, here is a 20 min fast-read summary of the key points within the book. The whole book in a few easy-to-consume bite-size chunks. But first here are two forewards to whet your appetite. The first is from Dr T and the second from Dr Andrew Goldsworthy DR T - RETIRED GP It is hard to comprehend how systematic and deliberate the silencing of the harm that electromagnetic radiation causes has been. It is not accidental that the very youngest have been 'educated' into regarding many of the devices that have incredibly high EMF radiation as essential for their lives. Whatever age we are we have been programmed to accept more and more EMF radiation into our lives. The other side of this is that those canaries in the coal mines that have been suffering from severe effects of the EMF radiation have been mocked and dismissed by all forms of the biased media. Startling instances of men, women and children suffering harm have been suppressed. Moving forward to our present time we can now see that so many of these devices that are causing harm are also part of surveillance capitalism. It is little wonder that this agenda of 'smart' everything would be pushed forward regardless of any harm it may be causing. This book is so valuable in that it tells the story from the beginning and is immensely readable (yes, I know it's long), and then has all that evidence to back up what is written. I knew this book was important when it arrived as a gift from Mark, and I have been recommending it to others ever since. Knowledge is power. Dr T DR ANDREW GOLDSWORTHY RETIRED BIOLOGICAL SAFETY OFFICER IMPERIAL COLLEGE - LONDON This is an excellent summary of Arthur Firstenberg's book "The Invisible Rainbow", which is itself a much longer summary of the timeline linking the exposure of animals (especially humans) and plants to a wide range of illnesses and metabolic disorders. These include microwave sickness (aka electromagnetic hypersensitivity) diabetes, heart attacks, cancer and many more. The villain of the piece is pulsed and other alternating electromagnetic fields in the environment that interfere with electric currents used by our own bodies and, in particular, the electric currents that flow through our cell membranes. Their main effect is to make these membranes leak. This short circuits and reduces the normal voltage (trans-membrane potential) that provides the energy for most of our bodily functions In effect, they starve us of our energy and this can have all sorts of unexpected effects. For example, the mitochondria (the cells' powerhouses) use an electrochemical gradient across their membranes generated from the food we eat to make ATP, which is the main energy currency of our cells. But this ATP is used by the external membrane of the cell to absorb nutrients and excrete toxic byproducts, So, not only do these electromagnetic fields starve us of energy (giving, among other things, symptoms of chronic fatigue) they also poison us with our own toxins. Also, since ATP is needed by our immune systems, we become more susceptible to disease and also to cancer, which arises from the inability of the immune system to weed out precancerous cells. That said, the body does try to fight back. In particular, the inflow of calcium ions through our leaking cell membranes stimulates metabolic activity in general and repair mechanisms in particular. If you think about it, this is the only way that a cell can "know" that its membrane has been damaged. But the increased metabolic activity needed to repair the damage has side effects, particularly on the cells of the nervous system. Here the extra activity makes our sensory cells send false signals to the brain to give us the symptoms of electrical hypersensitivity, including ADHD as our brain cells become hyperactive and pain and false feelings of heat or cold anywhere on our body. When the inner ear is affected, we may experience tinnitus, loss of balance and all the symptoms of motion sickness, including nausea. It is not nice to be electrosensitive and no one knows this more than Arthur Firstenberg, who is the most electrosensitive person that I have ever come across Please read on to see more details and the observations and experiments that inspired Arthur to write his book, "The Invisible Rainbow".

About Arthur Firstenberg the author Arthur Firstenberg is a scientist and journalist who is at the forefront of a global movement to tear down the taboo surrounding this subject. After graduating Phi Beta Kappa from Cornell University with a degree in mathematics, he attended the University of California, Irvine School of Medicine from 1978 to 1982. Injury by X-ray overdose cut short his medical career. For the past thirty-seven years he has been a researcher, consultant, and lecturer on the health and environmental effects of electromagnetic radiation, as well as a practitioner of several healing arts. About the Book This remarkably well-documented and -referenced book is a cornerstone in the sense that it traces the deployment of electricity in our civilization, in terms of its interaction with living organisms, from its initial discovery in the 1740s all the way to our time, and even projected into the future. It should be noted that the title refers to the entire electromagnetic spectrum comprising the colors of the rainbow, including the invisible frequencies such as radio frequencies and the fields generated around conducting wires. THE SUMMARY PART 1 1. Captured in a Bottle 1746 saw the first discoveries involving electricity in Europe. Leyden’s experiment consisted of revealing the electric fluid by means of rubbing the hand on a glass globe spun rapidly on its axis. The static electricity thus produced made a great impression in the schools, fairs and on private persons who had the financial means to acquire this device, with some producing electrical arcs and others brief electric shocks. The phenomenon was so popular that it was not socially acceptable to suggest that electricity could be dangerous, even though the shocks caused headaches, nosebleeds and fatigue in certain experimenters and in the animals used in the tests. Society was taken over by electromania and the most fervent exponents of being electroshocked in good company between two glasses of champagne began to perceive harmful symptoms. In spite of this, the medical establishments equipped themselves with the Leyden flask (the forerunner of the condenser), for the purpose of carrying out medical experiments for abortions or other applications. In this way a completely new field of knowledge emerged concerning the biological effects of electricity on people, plants and animals – knowledge that was then much more extensive than that of our contemporary physicians, who daily see patients suffering from the effects of electricity without recognizing them for what they are, and who are generally ignorant of the very existence of this knowledge. 2. The Deaf to Hear, and the Lame to Walk Noting the – rarely positive, and far more often negative – effects of the application of electrical voltage on living organisms, the researchers and physicians concluded that living organisms function in conjunction with electricity. Certain cures were brought about using electricity – as for example in 1851, when the neurologist Duchenne treated deafness in dozens of patients by means of locally applied electrical impulses. Experiments were carried out – notably by Volta in Italy, as well as other researchers in the western world – which found evidence that the nervous, cardiac, cardiovascular, gustatory, sudatory and other systems could be stimulated using the electricity produced by galvanic couples. It was found that the number of curative effects were significantly fewer than the harmful effects that were listed, which include the symptoms of electro-sensitivity (ES) known today, such as headaches, dizziness, nausea, mental confusion, fatigue, depression, insomnia, etc. 3. Electrical Sensitivity The French botanist Thomas-François Dalibard – who carried out electrical experiments on living organisms – confided in a letter to Benjamin Franklin dated 1762 that he was unable to continue his work as his own organism had developed an intolerance to electricity. He was one of the first people to be officially declared electro-hypersensitive (EHS). Reading that account, it is clear that this botanist must have been severely affected. Other professors and researchers had the same unfortunate experience and were thus forced to stop their work. Even the famous Benjamin Franklin was affected by a neurological illness during his researches on electricity from 1753 onwards, and the symptoms are largely reminiscent of electro-hypersensitivity. So much so that, at the end of the 18th century, it was generally acknowledged that electricity could make people ill, depending on the sex, the morphology and the physical condition of the individual concerned. It had similarly been observed that certain individuals reacted strongly to changes in the weather, which often correlated with electrical changes in the atmosphere. The names of some of those individuals are still famous today – among them Christopher Columbus, Dante, Charles Darwin, Benjamin Franklin, Goethe, Victor Hugo, Leonardo da Vinci, Martin Luther, Michelangelo, Mozart, Napoleon, Rousseau and Voltaire. 4. The Road Not Taken During the 1790s, science was faced with an identity crisis regarding the interpretation and unification of the four different fluids – electricity, light, magnetism and heat. Where electricity was concerned, on the one hand there was Luigi Galvani, who regarded electricity as an integral part of the living organism, and on the other Volta's theory that electricity was only a “secondary” effect of internal chemical reactions in the living organism. Volta, the inventor of the extremely useful electric battery, which had the potential to become a great money-spinner, succeeded in winning the argument against the more global view of the interaction between electricity and the living organism. 5. Chronic Electrical Illness From the end of the 19th century onwards, urban landscapes were transformed by the installation of telegraph lines throughout the industrialized countries. This technology used voltages of the order of 80 volts on a single conductor, with the return current being earthed. That period saw the emergence of the first stray currents to which living beings were exposed. It was then that one saw the appearance of diseases of civilization such as neurasthenia, which afflicted Frank Lloyd Wright and Theodore Roosevelt, among other well-known figures. It should be noted in passing that neurasthenia is very similar to electrohypersensitivity, which is the more modern term for the same sensitivity to electricity. Around half of the telegraphists who were employed to manipulate the electrical current sent through the lines, and were thus exposed to very strong electromagnetic fields, were afflicted by telegraphic sickness. Once again, the symptoms were the same as those of EHS. Later on, in around 1915, it was the telephone operators who were experiencing the same symptoms – for they were exposed to electromagnetic fields from the communications for hours on end at their desks. In 1989, it was noted that in Winnipeg 47% of the telephone operators were suffering from the same symptoms. However, in 1894, the noted Viennese psychiatrist Sigmund Freud wrote an article whose effect was disastrous for all the unfortunates who suffered from telegraphic sickness, neurasthenia, microwave syndrome or EHS. Rather than seeing the external cause ‒ which was electromagnetic pollution – he attributed these symptoms to disordered thoughts or poorly controlled emotions. As a result, today millions of citizens affected by electronic smog are being medicated instead of reducing their exposure to this pollutant. Sigmund Freud renamed neurasthenia – which was known to be caused by electricity – as a neurosis anxiety, an anxiety attack or a panic attack. This opened the way for the reckless deployment of electrification to continue unimpeded. It should be noted that in Russia, neurasthenia is listed as an environmental illness, as Freud's damaging redefinition was rejected there. 6. The Behavior of Plants Sir Jagadis Chunder Bose and other researchers conducted numerous electrical experiments on plants and other living organisms, whose results showed definite effects. He discovered that the nerves of plants or animals display variable behavior and that their resistivity can vary considerably, depending on the application of the current and its polarity. He also noted that the intensity of current necessary to modify the conductivity of the nerves is infinitesimal in terms of the voltage applied – something in the order of 0.3 microamperes (0.3*10-6). That current is significantly less than the current that is induced through a telephone conversation using a cell phone. Bose likewise discovered that the threshold of a current’s bioactivity is 1 femtoampere (1*10-15)! As this researcher was also familiar with radio-frequency transmissions, he carried out an experiment in which a plant was exposed to a radio signal of 30 MHz at a distance of about 218 yards (200 meters) and found that the plant's growth was retarded during the emission period. He likewise showed that the circulation of sap in the plant slowed down when it was irradiated by the same radio signal. 7. Acute Electrical Illness During the 1880s, London was supplied with direct current, but certain physicists had discovered that the distribution of alternating current generated fewer ohmic losses in the wires. There followed a battle of the currents, even though many scientists, including Edison, strongly criticized the more dangerous effects of alternating current. Ironically, it’s precisely because alternating current is more harmful that it is used in the electric chair. And as everyone knows, the electrical current of the power grid is... alternating! In 1889, full-scale electrification was carried out in the USA and, shortly thereafter, in Europe. That same year, as if by chance, doctors were inundated with cases of flu, which had until then appeared only infrequently. The victims’ symptoms were far more neurological in nature, resembling neurasthenia, and did not include respiratory disorders. The pandemic lasted for four years and killed at least a million people. In 2001, Canadian astronomer Ken Tapping showed that the influenza pandemics over the previous three centuries correlated with peaks in solar magnetic activity, on an 11- year cycle. It has also been found that some outbreaks of influenza spread over enormous areas in just a few days – a fact that is difficult to explain by contagion from one person to another. Also, numerous experiments seeking to prove direct contagion through close contact, droplets of mucus or other processes have proved fruitless. From 1933 to the present day, virologists have been unable to present any experimental study proving that influenza spreads through normal contact between people. All attempts to do so have met with failure. 8. Mystery on the lsle of Wight In 1904, bees began to die on the Isle of Wight following the installation of radio transmitters by Marconi. These transmitters work at frequencies close to megahertz levels. On the other side of the Channel, Jacques-Arsène d'Arsonval showed that “sharp and hooked” electromagnetic signals are far more toxic than sinusoidal signals. The truth was that, after a year and a half of experimenting with radio transmitters in full health at the age of 22, Marconi began to develop fevers. These attacks continued for the rest of his life. In 1904, while working on setting up a transmitter powerful enough for transatlantic communications, these fevers became so intense that they were thought to be malaria. In 1905, he married Beatrice O'Brien and after their honeymoon, they settled on the island close to a transmitter. As soon as Beatrice had settled in, she began to complain of tinnitus. After three months, she fell ill with severe jaundice. She had to return to London to give birth to a baby who only lived for a few weeks and died of “unknown causes.” During the same period, Marconi spent several months suffering from fever and delirium. Between 1918 and 1921, he suffered suicidal depression while working on a shortwave transmitter. In 1927, while on his honeymoon from his second marriage, he collapsed with chest pain and was diagnosed with serious cardiac disorders. Between 1934 and 1937, while he was developing microwave technology, he had nine heart attacks – the final one killing him at the age of 63. On the same island, at Osborne House, Queen Victoria suffered cerebral hemorrhages and died on the evening of January 22nd 1901, just as Marconi was putting a new transmitter into operation less than 13 miles away. In 1901 there were “only” two transmitters, while in 1904 there were four, making this island the most irradiated place on the planet, leaving bees no room for survival. In 1906, a survey revealed that 90% of the bees had completely disappeared for no apparent reason. New colonies were brought to the island, but these likewise died within a week. This epidemic spread across England and then across the western world, and then gradually stabilized, until the armies equipped themselves with various high-powered radio transmitters towards the end of the First World War – triggering (as we have seen) the Spanish flu pandemic in 1918, which actually began in the United States, at the Naval Radio School of Cambridge, Massachusetts, with 400 initial cases. This epidemic rapidly spread to 1,127 soldiers at Funston Camp (Kansas), where wireless connections had been installed. What intrigued the doctors was that while 15% of the civilian population were suffering from nosebleeds, 40% of the Navy suffered from them. Other bleeding also occurred, and a third of those who died did so due to internal hemorrhaging of the lungs or brain. In fact, it was the composition of the blood that had been altered, as the measured coagulation time was more than twice as long as normal. These symptoms are incompatible with the effects of the influenza respiratory viruses, but totally consistent with the devastating effects of electricity. Another incongruity was that two-thirds of the victims were healthy young people. A further atypical flu symptom was that the pulse slowed to rates of between 36 and 48, whereas this is a common result of exposure to electromagnetic fields. In addition, it was possible to successfully treat some sufferers with massive doses of calcium. The military physician Dr George A. Soper testified that the virus was spreading faster than the speed of movement of people. Various experiments were conducted attempting to infect subjects either by direct close contact or by inoculation with mucus or blood – but the experimenters were unable to demonstrate any infection by this means. It can be seen that each new influenza pandemic corresponds to a new advance in electrical technology, such as the Asian flu of 1957-58, following the installation of a powerful radar surveillance system, and the outbreak of Hong Kong flu from July 1968 onwards, following the commissioning of 28 military satellites for space surveillance at the altitude of the Van Allen belts, which protect us from cosmic radiation. 9. Earth’s Electric Envelope With a core consisting mainly of iron, the rotating earth is primarily protected by the ionosphere, then the plasma sphere – delimited by the Van Allen radiation belts at an altitude of between 1,000 and 55,000 km – and by its tail: the magnetosphere, which is exposed to solar winds originating from our sun and constitutes a kind of dynamo, a complex electrical system. The exchanges of electricity between the earth's crust, the atmosphere and even the ionosphere are permanent and constant. They are in a delicate balance, and a kind of electrical “respiration” of the entire system has allowed life to develop on our planet, which is charged with negative ions, balanced by the positively charged ionosphere. An average vertical electrical field of the order of 130 volts per meter can be observed, with values that can, for example, rise to 4,000 volts per meter during storms. In 1953, one of the primary parameters of this electrical oscillation of our environment was discovered, in the form of (Winfried) Schumann’s frequencies, which “respire” at 7.83 hertz, with harmonics at 14, 20, 26, 32 Hz, called very low frequencies (VLF). It is no wonder that the organisms living in this environment are imbued with these physical values and that, for example, our brain rhythms lie within these frequency ranges – such as the alpha rhythm, which lies between 8 and 13 Hz. While we perceive the visible frequencies – ranging from blue to red – of the electromagnetic spectrum, some animals are able to see other electromagnetic frequencies – such as bees, which can see ultraviolet frequencies, or those salamanders or catfish which can see the low electrical frequencies, while snakes are able to see the infrared frequencies. Laboratory experiments on hamsters, for example, showed that reducing the temperature and shortening the duration of daylight was not enough to put them into hibernation. Similarly, hamsters raised in Faraday cages refused to hibernate, even though the light and temperature parameters corresponded to those of winter, until the Faraday protection was removed. Other experiments were conducted, such as that carried out at the Max Plank Institute in 1967 by the physiologist Rütger Wever, using two buried rooms without windows or outside contact – one shielded from natural electromagnetic fields, the other one not. It was shown that in the shielded chamber, the circadian rhythms of the volunteers became desynchronized and could vary between 12 and 65 hours, accompanied by metabolic disorders, while the subjects in the chamber immersed in the earth's fields kept a coherent rhythm of around 24 hours and their metabolism continued to function more normally. It has been scientifically demonstrated that a living organism needs to be bathed in the electromagnetic system of our natural environment in order to function well. Moreover acupuncture, the ancient method used in Traditional Chinese Medicine, works by using our own electrical properties and modifying the energy flow of the meridians. It has been known for some time (since the 1950s) that these meridians actually correspond to electrical circuits and that the Chinese Qi corresponds to the concept of electricity. These meridians serve dual functions: they not only transport information and energy internally from one organ of the body to another, but also serve as antennas for picking up the flow of environmental electromagnetic energy. In the early 1970s, atmospheric physicists discovered that the earth's magnetic field was significantly disturbed by human electrical activity. By injecting a signal into space and capturing its echo, it was established that the initial signal had in fact been modified by multiples of the 60 Hz power grid used in North America. However, this discovery did not prevent the HAARP project from being launched to deliberately modify the electromagnetic properties of our planet. Similarly, the Van Allen belts that protect us from cosmic rays have already been altered by our electrical activity – and it may be that these double belts were originally only a single belt which, under the influence of the human emission of electric charges into space, has been depleted at its centre. Satellite observations show that the radiation emitted by high voltage lines often has the effect of suppressing the natural radiation of lightning. In light of this fact, it is logical to conclude that the influenza pandemics of recent decades are linked to human electrical activity. 10. Porphyrins and the Basis of Life Any transformation of energy in the biological domain involves porphyrins [pigments made up of four pyrrole molecules]. The fact that our nerves are able to function properly is thanks in part to porphyrins, which play a role in our cell processes. These are special molecules that function as the interface between oxygen and life. These molecules are highly reactive and interact with toxic metals or synthetic elements derived from oil, and with electromagnetic fields – which, in excess, cause porphyria, which is more an environmental sensitivity than a disease. Dr. William E. Morton's research showed that 90% of people with multiple chemical sensitivity (MCS) are deficient in one form of porphyrin enzyme or another, as are electro- hypersensitive individuals – which means that the two forms of sensitivity are only different manifestations, with one and the same cause. Porphyria, which was discovered in 1891, afflicts about 10% of today’s population and first appeared at the same time as the general electrification of the western world from 1889 onwards. Porphyrins are central to the effects of electronic smog, because they not only cause EHS, MCS or porphyria, but also cardiovascular diseases, cancer and diabetes, as they are involved in a multitude of energetic biological processes. In the 1960s, the biologists Allan Frey and Wlodzimierz Sedlak showed that our organisms definitely have a bioelectronic component, and that some of our cells sometimes behave like conductors or capacitors or semi-conductors (transistors), like the components that we find in our electronic devices. This is the case with myelin – the sheath that covers our nerves – which contains porphyrin bonded to zinc. Should environmental poisons such as chemical products or toxic metals affect this equilibrium, the myelin sheath will be damaged, which alters the excitability of the nerves it surrounds. The entire nervous system then becomes hyperresponsive to stimuli of all kinds, such as electromagnetic fields. The system enters a state of divergent instability, the effect becoming the cause. Contrary to the view that mitochondria are the elements of our cells that produce energy, the concept of the myelin sheath as being one giant mitochondrion is beginning to gain credence. The connection between porphyria and zinc was discovered in the 1950s by Henry Peters, at Wisconsin Medical School. Patients suffering from porphyria and neurological symptoms were excreting a great deal of zinc in their urine, which led him to the idea that zinc chelation might improve their condition. He did indeed see an improvement, despite the widespread belief that zinc deficiency is related to those specific disorders. Similarly, certain experiments have shown that zinc chelation improves Alzheimer's disease. An Australian medical team demonstrated in autopsies that the brains of patients with Alzheimer's disease contained twice as much zinc as those of healthy patients. Part2 ...to the presentday 11. Irritable Heart In 1980, cardiac arrest in young athletes was rare, with only nine cases a year. From then on, cases steadily increased by 10% per year until 1996, when the rate suddenly doubled to 64 cases, rising to 66 in the following year and 76 in the last year of the study. The American medical community could find no explanation for this, while in Europe in 2002, German environmental physicians launched an appeal calling for a moratorium on antennas and cell towers, as the waves they were emitting were causing cardiovascular disorders. That was the Freiburg Appeal. Dr. Samuel Milham, an epidemiologist at the Washington State Department of Health, showed through his work that cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and cancer are largely, if not entirely, caused by electricity. Paradoxically, studies of cholesterol dating from the early 20th century did not show that cholesterol levels correlated with a higher risk of heart disease – contrary to what is commonly regarded as fact nowadays. A study of animals at the Philadelphia Zoo showed that from 1916 to 1964, cholesterol levels in mammals and birds increased by a factor of between 10 and 20 even though their diet had remained completely unchanged! The only parameter that had dramatically changed was the increase in radio frequencies. During the Second World War, a number of soldiers complained of symptoms similar to those of neurasthenia. It was initially believed, in accordance with Freud’s doctrine, that these soldiers were suffering from anxiety problems: however, a study of 144 cases was then conducted by Dr. Mandel Cohen. This study revealed that the soldiers were in fact physiologically less resistant and suffered from irritable heart. They had difficulty in assimilating oxygen and had to breathe twice as fast as their comrades in better health in order to get enough oxygen. It emerged that their mitochondria were not functioning efficiently. In the end, the study showed that these soldiers were hypersensitive in a general sense, but particularly to electricity. From the 1950s onwards, scientists in the Soviet Union also observed that radio frequencies altered the electrocardiograms of individuals exposed to them, as they modified mitochondrial efficiency. Graphs showing the statistics for death rates from heart disease broken down by the degree of electrification of the American states in 1931 and 1940 are also very explicit and leave no doubt as to the toxicity of electromagnetic fields for the heart, thus exonerating cholesterol and diets deemed too high in fat. 12. The Transformation of Diabetes Thomas Edison, who was involved in discoveries relating to electrical technology and was therefore exposed to electromagnetic fields to a far greater extent than his fellow citizens of the time, was diagnosed with diabetes – a disease that was very rare in 1889. Another researcher, Alexander Graham Bell, who worked in the field of telegraphy and invented the telephone, was known to constantly complain of the symptoms of neurasthenia, known as EHS today. In 1915, he too was diagnosed with diabetes. In 1876, the book Diseases of Modern Life by Ward Richardson described diabetes as a rare modern disease caused by mental exhaustion due to overwork or by a shock to the nervous system. The excessive intake of toxic, addictive sugar in our modern diet naturally provides a convenient explanation of why diabetes, including prediabetes, affects more than half of all Americans today. However, this explanation is too simplistic. Dr. Even Joslin showed that between 1900 and 1917, sugar intake had increased by 17% while mortality from diabetes had doubled. Later, in 1987, a study of Native Americans showed radically different rates of death from diabetes, depending on territory, ranging from 7 per thousand in the North-West to 380 per thousand in Arizona! During those years, neither lifestyle nor diet could explain such a divergence. One environmental factor, however, can indeed explain such a difference: the electrification of Native American reservations proceeded at different paces, and those in the North-West were only electrified much later. By contrast, the Arizona reservation lies in the immediate vicinity of Phoenix. Moreover, this Native American community had its own power plant and its own telecommunications system. Another example is the population of Brazil – a major sugar producer for centuries, where diabetes was still unknown in 1870, after it had already emerged as a disease of civilization in North America. Even today, Brazilians consume 70 kg of refined sugar per year and per person – more than North Americans: and yet they still have two and a half times fewer cases of diabetes than the USA. In Bhutan, diabetes was virtually non-existent until 2002, after which the electrification of the country began. In 2004, 634 new cases of diabetes were announced, in 2005 – 944, in 2006 – 1,470, and in 2007 – 2,540, with 15 deaths. In 2012, there were 91 deaths and diabetes was the eighth leading cause of death in the country, even though people’s diet had not changed! As we saw in the previous chapter, electronic smog acting on mitochondria prevents the efficient use of absorbed sugar – i.e. the combustion of sugar. The sugar which cannot be converted into mechanical energy is stored as fat by the body. Statistical graphs for diabetes death rates, broken down by the degree of electrification of the American states in 1931 and 1940, are also very explicit and leave no doubt as to the role played by electromagnetic fields in the appearance of large-scale diabetes, thus exonerating sugar consumption to some extent. In 1997, there was a 31% increase in the number of cases of diabetes in the United States in a single year, which precisely correlated with the mass introduction of cell phones in the country. 13. Cancer and the Starvation of Life In February 2011, the Supreme Court of Italy accused Cardinal Roberto Tucci, the outgoing president of Vatican Radio, of having created a public nuisance by polluting the environment with radio frequencies through negligence. In fact, in the period from 1997 to 2003, the children living within a 12 km radius of the radio antennas had an eight times higher rate of leukemia, lymphomas or myelomas than those who lived further away. The same held true for adults, with a rate seven times higher. The German doctor and professor Otto Heinrich Warburg, winner of the Nobel Prize for Medicine in 1931, showed that cancer is a regression of oxygen-deprived cells, which drives them to multiply anarchically, as in a primeval world where oxygen was not present to the extent that it is today. The initial oxygen deprivation is due to a malfunction of the mitochondria – which, as we have seen, can be caused by electromagnetic fields or other pollutants, such as smoke, pesticides, food additives and air pollution. The same principle of cellular oxygen deficiency applies to diabetes, which is why there is a higher rate of cancers among diabetics than in the rest of the population. At Philadelphia Zoo, from 1901 to 1955, a rise in the rate of malignant tumors was noted in mammals, varying from twice to 22 times more between those dates. Cancer death statistics show a clear correlation between the electrification of countries and cancer rates. For example, in the USA, the rate was 6.6 per thousand from 1841 to 1850. It subsequently more than doubled from 1851 to 1860, with a rate of 14 per thousand. The true explanation for this can be found in the mass deployment of the telegraph in 1854. In 1914, there were two deaths from cancer among the 63,000 Native Americans living in reserves without electrification, while in the rest of the country the cancer mortality rate was 25 times higher. Between 1920 and 1921, following the introduction of the first AM radio stations, cancer mortality increased by between 3 and 10% in western countries. The Swedish researchers Olle Johansson and Orjan Hallberg have shown a clear correlation between breast, prostate and lung cancer rates and the exposure of the population to radio frequencies. They point to a significant increase in rates in 1920, 1955, 1969 and a decrease (!) in 1978, corresponding respectively to the increase in radio frequency smog due to the introduction of AM radio, FM radio and TV1, the arrival of color TV2, and then the cessation of AM radio broadcasts. These same researchers have likewise found a very clear linear correlation between the number of FM radio transmitters per region and the incidence of melanomas, with the exposed locations having 11 times more melanomas than the “white zones”. They also found that melanomas rarely appear on those areas of the body most exposed to the sun, such as the forehead, nose, shoulders and feet, but more often in those areas of the body usually protected from the sun. Moreover, the proliferation of skin cancers occurred before the coming into fashion of seaside holidays, during which sun exposure is intense. This shows that melanomas are not predominantly caused by the sun, but by radio frequencies. The statistical graphs of death rates from cancer, as well as from diabetes and cardiovascular diseases, broken down by the degree of electrification of American states in 1931 and 1940, are likewise very explicit, leaving no doubt whatever that electromagnetic fields play a role in the increase in cancers. Genuine data on brain tumors is hard to find, as the cell phone lobby has been infiltrating this field for decades in order to commission biased studies. One of their studies even shows a decrease in the incidence of tumors, correlating with the intensive use of cell phones! However, the University of Calgary has found evidence of a 30% increase in the incidence of malignant brain tumors in the period from 2012 to 2013, and Lennart Hardell, Professor of Oncology at the University Hospital of Örebro in Sweden, has demonstrated that 2,000 hours of cell phone use increases the risk of developing a tumor by a factor of between three and eight, depending on the age of the subject and their phone habits. In 2000, Neil Cherry analyzed the cancer rates of children in San Francisco in relation to the distance between their home and the television and FM radio transmitters on Sutro Tower. Children living on hills or ridges were more affected. Those who lived within 1 km of the antenna had a 9 times higher incidence of leukemia, a 15 times higher incidence of lymphoma and a 31 times higher incidence of brain cancer — overall, an 18 times higher rate than those living outside that 1 km radius. 14. Suspended Animation A Practical Treatise on Nervous Exhaustion (1880) by George Miller Beard, the electrotherapist and friend of Thomas Edison, contains an intriguing observation: Although these difficulties are not directly fatal, and so do not appear in the mortality tables; although, on the contrary, they may tend to prolong life and to protect the system against febrile and inflammatory disease, yet the degree of suffering they cause is enormous. Those who suffered the most seemed rather young for their age. Furthermore, Beard noted that one rare disease seemed more likely to afflict the neurasthenic subjects than the rest of the population: that disease was diabetes. Beard had already observed that the increase in life expectancy did not go hand in hand with life quality. The mysterious correlation between the sufferings of neurasthenic people – whose symptoms were the same as those of contemporary electro-hypersensitive people – and the prolongation of their lives pointed to a major dysfunction. In addition, it has long been observed that an ascetic lifestyle with a low-calorie diet can increase life expectancy and health. This is the case, for example, with the population of Okinawa, where the number of centenarians is forty times greater than those in the population of richer prefectures further to the north. Researchers in the field of ageing have pointed out that the force that drives and sustains our lives is the system of electron transport in the mitochondria of our cells. It is here that the air we breathe and the food we eat are combined, at a rate that determines our rate of ageing and hence our life expectancy. Whereas the achievement of a slowing down of the combustion process within our cells through moderating the amount of energy delivered may be beneficial, another way of slowing down may conversely be disastrous. This is the poisoning of the electron transport chain. One possible way of being poisoned is chronic exposure to artificial electromagnetic fields. This ever-increasing pollution subjects the electrons of our mitochondria to external forces, slowing them down, depriving our cells of oxygen and causing EHS symptoms. 15. You mean you can hear electricity? In 1962, a woman contacted the University of Santa Barbara (CA, USA) asking for help in finding the source of the mysterious sound that she was hearing everywhere at home, even though she lived in a quiet residential district. This sound was keeping her awake and was detrimental to her health. Measurements did indeed show that particularly strong electromagnetic fields were emanating from all electrical conductors, not only from the grid but also from the radiators and other metallic elements, yet the stethoscope itself detected no sound at all. The engineer carried out an experiment, recording the measured fields on tape and playing them to the woman affected by these noises. She confirmed that that was what she was hearing. So, this woman was able to hear the electromagnetic fields in her environment. Grounding facilities and electronic filters were installed to reduce disturbances to an acceptable level. However, long before that, Volta and other researchers had already conducted experiments in which they had successfully produced various sounds by applying voltage to the ears. Much later, in the late 1960s, the biologist Allan Frey published articles on the ability of some subjects to hear emissions from a radar installation. The mechanical model of the functioning of the ear as taught in schools does not provide any explanation for these observed phenomena. Noting this, the biochemist Lionel Naftalin developed a new model of the functioning of the human ear, taking into account the well-known phenomenon of piezo-electricity (a force utilized by electronicians), which he discovered in the gel covering the cilia of the inner ear. In this gel, which is found nowhere else in the human body and has special electrical properties, a voltage of 100 to 120 millivolts was present – which is considered high in the field of bioelectronics. This piezo-electric gel transforms sound waves into an electrical signal that is communicated to the cilia of the inner ear. This new, revised model of the functioning of the human ear not only explains the ability of certain subjects to hear an electromagnetic signal under certain conditions, but also why so modern-day people suffer from tinnitus, and why certain groups of people, amounting to 2 to 11% of the world's population, are hearing a global humming all around the planet. Today, about 44% of American adults suffer from tinnitus at various levels of intensity, while in Sweden the number of young people affected was 12% in 1997 and 42% in 2006. These parasitic sounds are largely the result of living in an environment that is heavily polluted with all kinds of artificial electromagnetic fields. 16. Bees, Birds, Trees, and Humans Alfonso Balmori Marinez, a Spanish biologist, has correlated the population density of sparrows with the radio-frequency radiation values in their habitats. Sparrows cannot survive in the most irradiated places, where levels exceed 3 V/m, whereas there are still 42 birds per hectare at levels of 0.1 V/m. He has also observed a marked change in the behavior of storks, whereby stork pairs will fight instead of building the nest or incubating the eggs if they are within 200m of a cell tower. The United Kingdom classed the house sparrow as an endangered species after its population declined by 75% between 1994 and 2002 – a period that coincided with the deployment of cell phone technology. Homing pigeon breeders on several continents have found that, when released, up to 90% of pigeons fail to find their way back to the dovecote, whereas this percentage should normally be tiny. In 2000, English breeders tried to reroute a race so as to avoid cell towers, in order to give the pigeons a better chance of homing successfully. In 2004, those same breeders commissioned more extensive studies on the impact of microwaves on pigeons. In 2002, the US National Park Service issued a note to biologists studying wild animal behavior, explaining that RFID chips attached to those animals to track them with radio frequencies can radically alter their behavior due to the radio frequencies generated. In environments polluted by electromagnetic fields, robins cannot find their bearings for migration – whereas when they are in a Faraday cage, they are able to do so. An experiment on frog tadpoles reared in two separate pools within 140m of a cell tower, one without and the other with electromagnetic shielding, displayed mortality rates of 90% and 4% respectively. The same type of harmful effects are found in insects when they are exposed to the electronic smog that we encounter on a daily basis, and Dr. Panagopoulous, who has experimented on fruit flies, reports that exposure to microwaves at common levels – even for just a few minutes a day for a few days – is the worst known stressor in our daily lives, even worse than chemicals or low-frequency electromagnetic fields. Bees are also being negatively impacted, as we saw on the Isle of Wight at the beginning of this summary. Dr. Daniel Favre (Switzerland) has demonstrated that in the presence of microwaves, bees emit the sound typically heard when they swarm, which suggests that the insects want to escape the emission source. The varroa mite is generally blamed for colony collapse syndrome; however, we forget that this mite has cohabited with bees for a long time. In addition, it can often be observed that nowadays even a dead colony is not infested with parasites, even though this used to be the case “before”. The finger of blame is also levelled at pesticides – yet, as we have seen, 90% of the bees on the Isle of Wight disappeared without any pesticides having been used in that area. The true cause of colony collapse is found in human-generated electromagnetic fields, especially cell phone technology. In the 1980s, a burning issue emerged: the death of forests. This was blamed on acid rain – yet the most remote areas with the cleanest air were equally affected. Research was carried out in Germany and Switzerland, and although the soil in the affected forests did indeed prove to be acidic, observation and experimentation showed that such acidity could also be the result of the slow electrolysis of the soil via trees exposed to radar waves, for example. Moreover, trees on ridges were more severely affected as they were more exposed to the new radars installed in the 1970s. Another observation was made at the time of the fall of the Berlin Wall. The gigantic Russian radars at Skruda, which were heavily irradiating the whole region in their task of monitoring the West, had not only caused harm to the forest, but also to animals and human beings. After numerous studies, it was found that the growth rings of the trees during the years when the radars were operating were much smaller than those from either before or after that period. In Schwarzenburg in Switzerland, a shortwave radio antenna was installed in 1939, and the transmission power was subsequently increased to 450 kW in 1954. This was followed by a deterioration in the health of the local inhabitants, who complained of EHS symptoms. The village children had difficulties at school and seemed unable to advance to higher education, unlike the children of less exposed neighboring villages. Finally, in 1992, a study was carried out which confirmed that, within a radius of 900m of the antenna, the physiological analysis parameters of the people and animals at the site were abnormal. It was also found that the tree growth rings were compressed – but only on the side facing the radiation source. On March 28th 1998, the transmitter was shut down and a “before-and- after” study was carried out; this demonstrated that the melatonin levels of the 58 subjects tested had increased again. A 50-year-old villager was finally able to sleep for a full night without interruption for the first time in his life. On May 29th 1996, Philippe Roch, Director of the Office for the Environment, stated that there was “a proven correlation between the sleep disorders and communications operations". 17. In the Country of the Blind How much longer do we have to wait before being able to say "Your cell phone is killing me!” rather than "I'm electro-hypersensitive”? And yet the number of people suffering from headaches due to using cell phones is huge. In 2010, two-thirds of Ukrainian university students interviewed admitted the fact that it is not socially acceptable to openly discuss this issue. Gro Harlem Brundtland was EHS when she was head of the World Health Organization. She was quite open about the fact, but was forced to resign from her post one year later. This deterred other high-ranking public figures from following her example. Only a minority of people suffering from electromagnetic pollution know what they are suffering from, while the great majority have no idea. The entire population is being electrocuted by remote control and one almost has to apologize for being electro-sensitive or, to be precise, electro-hypersensitive, just as if one had to apologize for being "cyanide- hypersensitive". For the truth is that electricity, as it is currently being used, is toxic. Moreover, statistical graphs clearly show an increase in the mortality rate of the inhabitants of nine American cities shortly after the first base stations were put into operation. This increased mortality ranges from 25 to over 80%. A survey conducted by a daily newspaper, which asked New Yorkers to report whether they had begun suffering from a number of EHS symptoms after November 15th, 1996, gathered hundreds of testimonies from a wide range of racial and social classes. The date in question was the day when the first cell phone network went into operation. The Cellular Phone Task Force, an organization started by Arthur Firstenberg in 1996, is inundated with requests for help from people harmed by microwave radio frequencies. So many emitters of all kinds proliferate – from WiFi, WiMAX, radar stations and irradiation emitted from the sky by telecommunications satellites, that it seems as if soon there will be nowhere to escape to. Prof. Olle Johansson of the prestigious Karolinska Institute, who is famous for awarding the Nobel Prize for Medicine, has focused on demonstrating the effects of electronic smog on living organisms since 1977. The success of his studies led to his being marginalized at his institute, the funding for his research disappearing and to his receiving death threats; on one occasion, he narrowly escaped an attempt on his life through the sabotage of his motorcycle. Despite everything, he continues to inform the world of the truth in order to defend, among others, those suffering from EHS, whose lives have become hell on earth. He is disgusted by the way in which the governments of so-called “democratic” countries have simply abandoned the victims of radio frequencies to their fate. Dr Erica Mallery-Blythe, who has dual British and American nationality, completed her studies in 1998. In 2007, after following her F-16 pilot husband to the USA, she became severely affected by EHS without realizing it. Her internet researches finally enabled her to understand what was happening to her. As a doctor, she was puzzled as to how such a profound and disabling condition could exist without her ever having heard of it in her profession. To set her mind at rest, she decided to undergo an MRI to rule out the risk of brain cancer. She believed that her death was imminent when the high frequency pulsations were engaged, but recovered full health and vitality in Death Valley, far from radio frequencies. Since then, she has dedicated herself to informing and helping the 5% (at least) of the population who are EHS and have been totally abandoned by the authorities. Yury Grigoriev, who is generally regarded as the grandfather of electromagnetic research in Russia, is extremely concerned about young people above all, and has stated that this is the first time in the history of humanity that people’s brains are being openly exposed to microwaves – which is extremely serious in the eyes of a radiobiologist. In particular, he cites a Korean study which shows that attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) in children is connected to the use of cell phones. In the late 1990s, the Swedish neurosurgeon Leif Salford and his team proved that cell phones make the blood-brain barrier permeable, causing Alzheimer's disease. In 2003 they showed that a single exposure of only two hours causes permanent damage to the brain. In 2015, Turkish scientists irradiated rats for an hour a day for a month, using typical cell phone waves. The irradiated rats had 10% fewer brain cells than those that had been spared that treatment. The same team experimented on pregnant rats for 9 days at the same radiation level. The rats’ progeny showed degeneration of the brain, spinal cord, heart, kidneys, liver, spleen, thymus and testicles. The same experiment repeated on young rats caused atrophy of the spinal cord together with decreased myelin, like that seen in multiple sclerosis. In September 1998, the first 66 satellites for space telephony went into operation, causing an increase in the USA’s national mortality rate of nearly 5% in the two subsequent weeks. During the same period, it was observed that birds were no longer flying and that EHS people became particularly ill. Today, about 1,100 artificial satellites fly over us, but several companies – Google, Facebook, SpaceX, OneWeb and Samsung – are planning to launch up to 4,600 new communications satellites each by 2020, in order to blanket the entire planet with high-speed Internet access. In 1968, even the first small fleet of 28 military satellites precipitated a worldwide flu pandemic. Unlike a ground-based antenna, whose radiation is highly attenuated when it reaches the magnetosphere, satellites act directly on it through mechanisms that are still poorly understood, thus compromising life on earth. We forget the warnings of Ross Adey, the grandfather of bioelectromagnetics, and of the atmospheric physicist Neil Cherry, that we are electrically regulated by the world surrounding us and that the safe level of exposure to radio frequencies is therefore zero. This potentially catastrophic initiative must be opposed and the organization leading the way is the Global Union Against Radiation Deployment from Space (GUARDS; www.stopglobalwifi.org/). In 2014, the physician Tetsuharu Shinjyo published a "before-and-after" study. He evaluated the health of 122 inhabitants of a building on which base station antennas had been installed. Twenty-one suffered from chronic fatigue, 14 from dizziness or Ménière’s disease, 14 from headaches, 17 from eye pain or infections, 14 from insomnia and 10 from chronic nosebleeds. Five months after the antennas were removed, only 2 cases of insomnia, 1 case of vertigo and 1 case of headaches remained! This human rights emergency, which affects hundreds of millions of people on a planetary scale, and the environmental emergency that threatens the extinction of countless species of plants and animals must be faced with clear-sighted and unflinching resolutions.
