Rapid climate changes more deadly than asteroid impacts in Earth’s past – study shows. (via Skeptical Science)
Posted on 27 May 2014 by howardlee The link between rapid climate changes and mass extinctions has been strengthened in a recent paper by Jourdan et al in “Geology.” The authors demonstrate that the extraordinarily huge volcanic eruptions of the…


Our notes:  Now go to the original source for this article by following the link below.

http://geology.gsapubs.org/content/early/2014/04/22/G35434.1.abstract

If you look at how the original source of the article is worded, it's only making suggestions at best and does not even begin to make the statements that the above article explores and tries to convince you is fact.  How the author if the above article could even conclude such nonsense from the source article is only the use of imagination designed as scare tactics to push forth an agenda that makes no sense whatsoever.  Again, when you see garbage like this and follow it's sources, you quickly discover that there in nothing behind the reports that is of any real value.  Climate Change science is akin to the Big Bang Theory and Evolution theories, pure garbage with no real science to them.

Never Shower Again? News You Have To See.

AOBiome has created a new spray on tonic, featured in New York Times Magazine.  ABC News.

Our Notes:  Now here is going green taken to an all new level.  We predicted this would come but not this soon.  Yesterday we showed how it is now being promoted that you should not wash your jeans.  Now you are seeing early promotions on why should not use water to shower?  This is how all the nonsense gets started.  Next thing we will all be told is not to flush toilets as the odor has health benefits?  When you can offend a skunk with your body odor, then you have hit the height of fashion?  

  We will stay orange, the anti green, and continue to waste as much water as possible as the Earth seems to have plenty of it.  On the other side of all of this however, is that showering daily when one has not done anything to add considerable levels of dirt, grime and or grease to one's person, is excessive and strips off beneficial body oils that help protect you.  If you have an office job, then showering every other day is actually healthier.  If you work in a garage, then showering every day may prove best.  (Based on research and advice from medical professionals, please consult your own doctor to determine what might be best for you).

What Are Those Planes Spraying? Some Potential Serious Health Issues?

Water vapor contrails left by high-altitude je...

Chem Trails, persistent con trails, whatever name you wish to call them or just call them con trails that seem to linger way to long and spread to create clouds that darken the sky.  Watch the air and one has to ask the question, where are all of these planes coming from and where are they going and why are there so many in the sky while air travel is down so much?

  All one has to do is look at the commercial air traffic that is reported from local major airports and the questions get more concerning.  Some will say that these are nothing more than water vapor.  Having grown up around one of the world's largest airports in NY, this simply is not true.  We never saw water vapor trails like this growing up.  So that excuse does not work out.  There are now companies that are making the claims to be able to alter weather and are called Weather Modification programs that do in fact spray the air with agents in order to alter the weather.

  http://www.weathermodification.com/cloud-seeding-aerial.php

The above link shows one such company that makes this claim and shows limited pictures of planes with spraying apparatuses installed on their wings.

 http://climateviewer.com/geoengineering/  Very detailed information involving weather modification and engineering.

Based on this information, what we would also like to point out is the observable fact that the woman above in the UN Webcast video, was never once challenged about the information she was giving by anyone at that meeting.  We have seen claims on the video host page that she can not be believed for many reasons, not one supported by fact by those giving the opinion.  

  With this taken into consideration, there is reason to start digging into other areas such as climate change science and start asking a lot of questions there.  It could very well be that climate change science does have some valid points based on the alterations of weather modifications going on.  In other words, the science is validating the claims being made because they are also creating the issues?  It stands as a very valid question that needs addressing.

  It's also interesting to note that climate change science started at the same time as weather modification programs began as well as when cell phones started to be introduced to the world which is a coming article.  Companies involved in weather modification are not telling us what chemicals they are using to seed clouds and also are avoiding the issues that they are in fact creating the clouds overhead in may ways.  The blue skies many of us knew as children are now rarely seen as they often were when the elder of our population were children.  Our newer generation has no clue what the skies used to look like so this is normal for them to view the graying of blue skies.

  If we are to believe the woman in the video and look at some of the chemicals they are spraying, we are all in real trouble in more ways than one.  One chemical stated as being used is beryllium.  If this is in fact being sprayed above us, one should know exactly what is known about this metal.

   http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beryllium  Link to wiki page on this substance.

From the wiki page: "Beryllium is chemically similar to magnesium and therefore can displace it from enzymes, which causes them to malfunction.[82] Chronic berylliosis is a pulmonary and systemic granulomatous disease caused by inhalation of dust or fumes contaminated with beryllium; either large amounts over a short time or small amounts over a long time can lead to this ailment. Symptoms of the disease can take up to five years to develop; about a third of patients with it die and the survivors are left disabled.[82] The International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) lists beryllium and beryllium compounds as Category 1 carcinogens.

Acute beryllium disease in the form of chemical pneumonitis was first reported in Europe in 1933 and in the United States in 1943. A survey found that about 5% of workers in plants manufacturing fluorescent lamps in 1949 in the United States had beryllium-related lung diseases.[84] Chronic berylliosis resembles sarcoidosis in many respects, and the differential diagnosis is often difficult. It killed some early workers in nuclear weapons design, such as Herbert L. Anderson."

Reasons why it may actually be added into weather modification programs are as 

follows.

"Significant properties are high specific heat (1925 J·kg−1·K−1) and thermal conductivity (216 W·m−1·K−1), which make beryllium the metal with the best heat dissipation characteristics per unit weight. In combination with the relatively low coefficient of linear thermal expansion(11.4×10−6 K−1), these characteristics result in a unique stability under conditions of thermal loading.[5]"

The United States uses the vast majority of the world's production of this substance to the tune of 88% of all world production.  2013-2014 US weather shows one of the coldest winters in history while Europe had an exceptionally mild winter season.  It's a rather interesting correlation.  

Barium is said to be another substance used in spraying of our air.  Some interesting properties noted for barium and again, from Wikipedia.

"Barium is a soft, silvery-white metal, with a slight golden shade when ultrapure.[2]:2 The silvery-white color of barium metal rapidly vanishes upon oxidation in air yielding a dark gray oxide layer. Barium has a mediumspecific weight and good electrical conductivity.

Barium has only a few industrial applications. The metal has been historically used to scavenge air in vacuum tubes. It is a component of YBCO (high-temperature superconductors) and electroceramics, and is added to steel and cast iron to reduce the size of carbon grains within the microstructure of the metal.

Barium is chemically similar to magnesium, calcium, and strontium, being even more reactive. It always exhibits the oxidation state of +2.[2]:2 Reactions with chalcogens are highly exothermic (release energy); the reaction with oxygen or air occurs at room temperature, and therefore barium is stored under oil or inert gas atmosphere.[2]:2 Reactions with other nonmetals, such as carbon, nitrogen, phosphorus, silicon, and hydrogen, are generally exothermic and proceed upon heating.[2]:2–3 Reactions with water and alcohols are also very exothermic and release hydrogen gas

The barite reserves are estimated between 0.7 and 2 billion tonnes. The maximum production was achieved in 1981, at 8.3 million tonnes, and only 7–8% of it was used to make barium or its compounds.[2]:5 The barite production has again risen since the second half of the 1990s: from 5.6 million tonnes in 1996 to 7.6 in 2005 and 7.8 in 2011. China accounts for more than 50% of this output, followed by India (14% in 2011), Morocco (8.3%), US (8.2%), Turkey (2.5%), Iran and Kazakhstan (2.6% each)

Barium carbonate is a rat poison

Water-soluble barium compounds are poisonous. At low doses, barium ions act as a muscle stimulant, whereas higher doses affect the nervous system, causing cardiac irregularities, tremors, weakness, anxietydyspnea and paralysis. This may be due to the ability of Ba2+ to block potassium ion channels, which are critical to the proper function of the nervous system.[24] Other target organs for water-soluble barium compounds (i.e., barium ions) are eyes, immune system, heart, respiratory system, and skin.[23]They affect the body strongly, causing, for example, blindness and sensitization.[23]
Barium is not carcinogenic,[23] and it does not bioaccumulate.[25][26] However, inhaled dust containing insoluble barium compounds can accumulate in the lungs, causing a benign condition called baritosis.[27] For comparison to the soluble poisons, the insoluble sulfate is nontoxic and is thus not classified as a dangerous good."


Aluminum is also said to be used.  Here is information on aluminum.

"Because aluminium competes with calcium for absorption, increased amounts of dietary aluminium may contribute to the reduced skeletal mineralization (osteopenia) observed in preterm infants and infants with growth retardation. In very high doses, aluminium can cause neurotoxicity, and is associated with altered function of the blood–brain barrier.[73] A small percentage of people are allergic to aluminium and experience contact dermatitisdigestive disorders, vomiting or other symptoms upon contact or ingestion of products containing aluminium, such as antipersperants or antacids. In those without allergies, aluminium is not as toxic as heavy metals, but there is evidence of some toxicity if it is consumed in excessive amounts.[74] Although the use of aluminiumcookware has not been shown to lead to aluminium toxicity in general, excessive consumption of antacids containing aluminium compounds and excessive use of aluminium-containing antiperspirants provide more significant exposure levels. Studies have shown that consumption of acidic foods or liquids with aluminium significantly increases aluminium absorption,[75] and maltol has been shown to increase the accumulation of aluminium in nervous and osseus tissue.


Wikipedia noted the authors of the above information weasel worded the potential for medical negative issues in a way as to misrepresent the real potential problems associated with such.

Further:  "Aluminium is primary among the factors that reduce plant growth on acid soils. Although it is generally harmless to plant growth in pH-neutral soils, the concentration in acid soils of toxic Al3+ cations increases and disturbs root growth and function.[90][91][92][93]
Most acid soils are saturated with aluminium rather than hydrogen ions. The acidity of the soil is therefore a result ofhydrolysis of aluminium compounds.[94] This concept of "corrected lime potential"[95] to define the degree of base saturation in soils became the basis for procedures now used in soil testing laboratories to determine the "lime requirement"[96] of soils.[97]"

So if you are having issues with plants mysteriously dying, you may want to consider that what is being sprayed above, is contributing to death below.  Now one of the most compelling reasons to use aluminum in spraying:

" A fresh film of aluminium serves as a good reflector (approximately 92%) of visible light and an excellent reflector (as much as 98%) of medium and far infrared radiation."

In other words, it reflects the suns rays back up and off the planet.  With increased artificial clouding what is interesting to note is that this will increase Co2 levels.  Exactly what the global climate change scientists are telling us what is causing our current and future problems.  How convenient.  So on the one hand, the science looks like it is right, but then again, when it is being manufactured for the scientists to begin with, how could they be wrong?  End the spraying and bombardments and we end the problem?  Ya think?

Obesity Now Threatens to Overtake Hunger as Number One Global Health Concern

Hawaiian woman

By Dr. Mercola
In 1950, the number of starving individuals on Earth was estimated to be around 700 million. At the time, obesity affected approximately 100 million people around the globe, primarily in rich countries.
These statistics have changed dramatically over the past six decades. As stated in today’s featured documentary, Globesity: Fat's New Frontier, no low- to middle-income country has successfully managed to reduce hunger without shifting over into obesity, and very rapidly at that.
By 2010, the world’s hungry had marginally grown to 800 million, while the number of obese citizens of the world had ballooned to 500 million. The rate of "extreme obesity" (people with a BMI above 40) rose by 350 percent over the past few years alone in the US.
Estimates suggest that by 2030, more than one billion people, worldwide, will fall into the obese category. As stated on the Top Documentary Films’ site:1
“In India, it's anticipated that 100 million people will have diabetes in the near future and in Mexico, the largest consumer of carbonated beverage in the world, where diabetes is already a headline killer and where the weight problem is so acute, special programs have been made available offering free fitness classes and bariatric surgery.
If you thought obesity was just an issue in the first world economies, like the US, UK, and Australia, this documentary will set you straight.”
Carb-rich highly processed foods, along with rarely ever fasting, are primary drivers of these statistics. Wherever a highly processed food diet becomes the norm, obesity inevitably follows.
In the 1950s, the food available was mostly fresh and grown locally. Today, the majority of foods consumed—even in the developing world—are highly processed foods, filled with sugars, harmful processed fats, and chemical additives.
Perhaps one of the strongest links can be seen with soda consumption. As sweetened beverages have become more common in developing countries, obesity rates have started climbing right along with beverage sales.
This is likely why Mexico has become so obese. They consume enormous quantities of soda, which is largely a result of lack of access to clean and inexpensive water alternatives that will not get them sick.

Obesity as a Harbinger of Death

Along with excess body weight come a wide range of other health problems. In the US, eight obesity-related diseases account for a staggering 75 percent of healthcare costs. These diseases include:
Type 2 diabetesNon-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD)
HypertensionPolycystic ovarian syndrome
Lipid problemsCancer (especially breast, endometrial, colon, gallbladder, prostate and kidney2)
Heart diseaseAlzheimer's disease

According to research published last year, one in five American deaths is now associated with obesity.3 And while the effect varies somewhat by your gender, race, and age, the younger you are, the greater obesity's influence on your mortality.
Considering the dramatic rise in childhood obesity (one-third of American children aged two to 19 are now overweight or obese), these facts spell serious trouble for the future of our health care system, not to mention the overall quality of life for vast numbers of people.
As previously reported in the Guardian Express,4 kids are 40 percent heavier today compared to just 25 years ago, and a growing number of studies have linked rising childhood obesity rates to increased consumption of sugary beverages (including those sweetened with no- or low-cal sweeteners).
Most parents go to great lengths to keep their children safe from physical dangers. Yet, the majority of parents feed their children harmful foods without a thought for future consequences. It's not the occasional treat here and there that I'm referring to.
It's the fact that many children around the world are raised on processed foods, pizza, French fries, and fast-food hamburgers these days. And the outcome is identical regardless of which nation you live in.
As stated in the featured film, processed food products are just as dangerous to your health as tobacco and alcohol. Data collected from over 60,000 Canadians has confirmed this, showing that obesity now surpasses smoking in terms of creating ill health.

To Normalize Your Weight, You MUST Address Your Diet

Leading a common-sense, healthy lifestyle is your best bet to achieve health and longevity, and it really starts with your food choices. For a comprehensive guide on which foods to eat and which to avoid, please see my nutrition plan. Generally speaking, you should be looking to focus your diet on whole, ideally organic, unprocessed foods. For the best nutrition and health benefits, eat a good portion of your food raw.
I believe the two primary keys for successful weight management are severely restricting carbohydrates (sugars, fructose, and grains) in your diet, and increasing healthy fat consumption. This will optimize your insulin and leptin levels, which is key for maintaining a healthy weight and optimal health. The other part of the equation that is rarely addressed is the amount of protein consumed.
When it comes to meat, two key factors that will determine the healthfulness of your diet are the quality of the meat and theamount. Many eat too much protein, especially poor-quality, factory-farmed meats. Nutrition experts like Dr. Ron Rosedale believe most adults need about one gram of protein per kilogram of lean body mass, or one-half gram of protein per pound of lean body weight per day. (To calculate this, if your body fat mass is 20 percent, then your lean mass is 80 percent of your total body weight.)
There are a number of reasons why I believe it's best to limit your protein intake. The first is that if you eat large amounts of protein your body doesn't need, it will convert most of the excess calories to sugar. Additionally, it will need to remove the nitrogen waste products from your blood, which stresses your kidneys. Excessive protein can also have a stimulatory effect on mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR)—a pathway that seems to be largely responsible for the pathology seen in cancer growth. When you reduce protein to just what your body needs, mTOR remains inhibited, which helps minimize your chances of cancer growth.
Last but not least, mankind also needs to return to traditional fare such as fermented foods. Virtually every country has a history of fermenting or culturing foods, and these are critical for gut health.
About 80 percent of your immune system resides in your gut, and research is stacking up showing that probiotics—beneficial bacteria—affect your health in a myriad of ways; it can even influence your ability to lose weight. A healthy diet is the ideal way to maintain a healthy gut, and regularly consuming traditionally fermented foods is the easiest, most cost effective way to ensure optimal gut flora. As for beverages, clean, pure water is your best bet. It’s really the only liquid your body truly needs.

The Importance of Exercise and Intermittently Fasting

Getting sufficient amounts of exercise is also critical. Even if you're eating right, you still need to exercise to reach the highest levels of health, and you need to be exercising effectively, which means including high-intensity activities into your rotation.
High-intensity interval-type training boosts human growth hormone (HGH) production, which is essential for optimal health, strength, and vigor. HGH also helps boost weight loss. So along with core-strengthening exercises, strength training, and stretching, I highly recommend that twice a week you do Peak Fitness exercises, which raise your heart rate up to your anaerobic threshold for 20 to 30 seconds, followed by a 90-second recovery period.
Additionally, a growing body of evidence shows that intermittent fasting is really effective for losing weight, improving your insulin and leptin receptor sensitivity, and can go a long way toward improving your overall health. This makes logical sense when you consider that our ancestors never had access to food 24/7. Our bodies are indeed “programmed” to not eat for periods of time.
One of the mechanisms that make intermittent fasting so effective for weight loss is the fact that it provokes the natural secretion of human growth hormone (HGH), which is a fat-burning hormone. Fasting also increases catecholamines, which increases resting energy expenditure, while decreasing insulin levels, which allows stored fat to be burned for fuel.
Together, these and other factors will turn you into an effective fat-burning machine. Hence, if like many tens of millions of people, your goal is to shed excess fat, fasting can be both effective and beneficial for improving many disease markers. To learn more about the ins and outs of intermittent fasting, or scheduled eating, please see my previous article, “What the Science Says About Intermittent Fasting.”

Take Control of Your Health

It’s important to realize that sugar is a primary dietary factor driving obesity and chronic disease development.5 Many also eat far too little healthy fat, and the combination of too much sugar and too little fat is driving disease rates through the roof. Understanding this formula puts you in the driver’s seat when it comes to prevention.
Again, a diet that promotes health is high in healthful fats and very, very low in sugar and non-vegetable carbohydrates, with a moderate amount of high-quality (organic, pastured) protein.
If you and your kids are hooked on fast food and other processed foods, you may need some help to kick the junk-food lifestyle. My optimized nutrition plan offers a step-by-step guide to feed your family right, and I encourage you to read through it now. You can find even more help in the book I wrote on the subject, called Generation XL: Raising Healthy, Intelligent Kids in a High-Tech, Junk-Food World.
