U.S. Senator - Orrin Hatch

Orrin Hatch is a long-time Federal Senator from Utah. I thougt he was an "okay" guy until I heard about his tax and spend votes. I've only looked at a few of his votes, but there's enough for me to see he doesn't keep a standard. You can see his complete voting record here: http://www.votesmart.org/voting_category.php?can_id=53352

Amendments - U.S. Constitution [by lars]

Government and Politics:: Amendments - U.S. Constitution

Amendments - U.S. Constitution

The amendment process was not designed to contradict or destroy the body of the Constitution, but to enforce it with important explicit applications and to accommodate process alterations. The first ten amendments which compose the Bill of Rights are explicit statements based on principles implicit within the Constitution. For those who are either beginning to learn the inspiration of the founding documents or don't understand the related concepts, the Bill of Rights is an excellent "trainer" for understanding the Constitution. The Bill of Rights does not grant additional rights, but it explains those rights with specific examples.

I have not examined all of the amendments to verify their legality, but I've read at lease one reason why the 16th Amendment is illegal. In order for an Amendment to be adopted, two-thirds of the Senate, and two-thirds of the house must have voted in support. Then it must be supported by 75% of the state legislatures. For the 16th Amendment to receive the Congressional vote required to be passed on to the 48 States, the support of 36 States was required. There were 38 affirmative votes counted by Secretary of State Philander Knox, but he was wrong. Kentucky was listed as a supporter even though they voted against it. Oklahoma responded with a recomposed version of the amendment that they supported, yet they had no authority to modify the proposal during the vote. At least a dozen other states violated Federal law, or their own State law during the voting process. The 36 legal votes from the states were never obtained. The constitution also limits taxation to the funding required in Article1, Section 8. But Congress violates this by collecting taxes to fund many illegal departments and projects. Regardless of the technical violations which were made in adopting this amendment, there is a greater problem. One of the foundational principles of the Nation was violated. The Declaration of Independence, which formally establishes the United States as a sovereign Nation, clearly identifies that citizens have inalienable Rights which include "Liberty". The income tax in the 16th amendment, which forcibly takes a percentage of a person's wages, places the inhabitants of the United States in bondage to the Federal Government to pay for government power that was never granted. The Rights proclaimed in the Declaration provide the foundation upon which the law of the Constitution is allowed, and it must not be superceded by anything in the Constitution or its Amendments. For example, nowhere in the Constitution does it say murder is illegal. Does this mean congress can pass an amendment to legalize murder? The answer is no, because it would violate the inalienable right to "Life" established in the Declaration.

Wellbutrin - Bupropion hydrochloride Antidepressant [by lars]

Wellbutrin - Bupropion hydrochloride Antidepressant

	Wellbutrin is prescribed to counter emotional depression.
The mechanism of this drug is not understood.  When taken
orally, the highest levels of the drug are found in the blood around 2 hours
afterwards.  As with all orally administered medications, only a small portion
of it causes the desired effects since the drug has to circulate throughout the
body until it reaches the organs or area that is receptive to treatment.  This
is dangerously because obviously it is unintentionally reacting in areas of
the body which have not been diagnosed with a problem.  The side effects of
this drug have not been thoroughly analyzed.  The liver is
probably detoxifying this substance, and the kidneys certainly clean it
from the blood, so there may be risk of damage to these two organs.
	Some of the side effects are seizures, agitation, insomnia, confusion,
altered appetite and weight, dry mouth, headache, nausea, constipation, and
tremor. 
Bupropion hydrochloride should not be taken by people who already suffer
from seizures, or who have had bulimia or anorexia nervosa since their
risk of seizure is high.  It should not be taken concurrently with monoamine 
oxidase (MAO).  Wellbutrin patients should not consume alcohol as it may
alter the seizure threshold.  The drug should not be taken by nursing
mothers, or by people under 18 years old. 
	Dosages should be divided through the day at three or four
instances.  Daily dosage ranges from 200-300mg divided through the
day using 100mg tablets.

Vioxx - Rofecoxib anti-inflammatory

	Vioxx is a brand of Rofecoxib.  Rofecoxib is classified as a nonsteroidal
anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID).  It is prescribed to relieve some symptoms from 
 osteoarthritis (arthritis), or acute pain sufferers.  It does not address the
problem causing the pain, and therefore allows the original problem to worsen. 
Recommended clinical doses begin at 12.5 mg per day, and should not exceed 25 mg
per day.  Doses are available via Oral tablets or suspention.  Rofecoxib is
made from Furanone (gamma butyrolactone or GBL), which is a chemical solvent
used in floor stripper and fingernail polish.
Some of the side effects of Vioxx are:

Stomach problems including stomach and intestinal bleeding.  These can lead
to hospitalization or death.

Allergic reactions including swelling of face, lips, tongue, and throat.  This
may cause difficulty breathing or swallowing.

Kidney problems including acute kidney failure.

Liver problems.

Bronchitis

Headaches, dizziness, diarrhea, nausea, vomiting, swelling of legs and feet,
high blood pressure, back pain, tiredness, urinary tract infection, 
anxiety, and hair loss.

These side effects occur in over 2% of patients taking 12-25 mg per day.

: : : My husband (65 y.o) has just been diagnosed w/ osteo in his hips and spine. Dr. put him on vioxx; w/in 2 weeks he was going nuts from tinnitus (ringing in his ears). Within two days of stopping the vioxx, it seems to be gone.
: : : Can anyone shed any light on this???
: : : Thanks. sjr

: : : : Hearing distortion in 73 year old, who has hearing aids. went away after discontinuing medication for 2 days hummmm

: : I KNOW the ringing; THAT went away when I quit. I also found that the stuff did NOT last 24 hrs and I was worse off when it wore off. So I quit (after taking it for months):BAD move. I hurt in places I NEVER hurt before. Took it for bad knees. Now, just that suddenly, bad hips, shoulders, hands, feet, chest bones, aching teeth. I wish to God I'd never swallowed the first tablet.

: (ACS): I began taking Vioxx in December '99. The pain-relieving effects were wonderful, but I experienced severe stomach cramps and diarrhea within days. Since December, I have tried taking "loperamide" diarrhea suppressant. This worked to some extent, but caused severe constipation. I've not found a balance and I'm losing more work time to the medication than I was to the pain. Anyone else have this experience?


Since I have started taking Vioxx (6 months), I have experienced a severe case of hiccups and a restricted filling in my throat while eating. This leads to choking and inability to swallow my food at times, sometimes leading to vomiting. I ran out of Vioxx for about two weeks and the symptoms were fewer and to a much lesser degree. Has anyone experienced or heard of anyone that may experienced similar symptoms?

I was taking 25mg of Vioxx everyday for about a month that was prescribed by my orthopedic Doctor for hip pain and it was working great with no apparent side effects. I went to my family doctor complaining of head aches and dizzyness. My Family Doctor checked my blood pressure and found it had suddenly gone sky high. I was told to stop the Vioxx and it returned to normal after a few days. SO BEWARE OF THIS VIOXX DANGER!

Somatotropin - Human Growth Hormone

	I was quite appalled when researching somatotropin (HGH).  It was
difficult to find legitimate information and cautions about it.  Most of 
the references to it are coming from retailers or doctors who promote HGH
products for their own financial gain.  HGH is expensive and can be very
profitable.  They usually explain the short-term apparent benefits while
ignoring or disclaiming the undesirable side effects from external
application or ingestion.  Some of the Internet references which had
personal testimonies of their adversities from HGH were removed or 
unavailable.
	Human Growth Hormone is a protein which is naturally produced in the
body Pituitary gland.  This protien stimulates the liver to produce small 
amounts of somatomedins, which in turn stimulate growth of bone and muscle.
Results from increased HGH are limited by the liver's reactions to it.
If the pituitary gland detects an increase in somatomedins from the liver,
it will in turn reduce the amount of somatotropin that it creates.
	There are different stimuli which produce growth hormone within the
body naturally such as exercise, sleep, fasting, and stress.  Sugar, alcohol,
and over-exercise will inhibit somatotropin production.
	Ingestion of HGH may cause gynecomastia.  There are other problems
that can be caused by exposure to somatotropin, but I'm uncertain if these
occur from pituitary malfunction, or from ingestion.  These include 
Gigantism, Acromegaly (bone disfigurement) and shorter life span.

RU-486 - drug [by lars]

Mon, 04 Aug 2008 14:54:00 -0000

Health and Medicine:: RU-486 - drug


RU-486 is a pill which gives the side-effect of killing a human embryo
inside the mother's womb.  The drug is also called mifepristone.  It
is used in conjunction with the drug mosoprostol (cytotec).  RU-486
causes intense internal bleeding.  Some users are hospitalized and
require surgery or other medical action to control the bleeding.
If administration process of RU-486 is not completed, The child can
be born with deformities.

This drug was legally promoted in the United States on September 28th,
	2000 by the Food and Drug Administration.

The drug was developed by the French subsidiary of a German Chemical
	company.  This company had produced the gas used in Nazi death
	chambers.  Even though France approved the use of RU-486, the
	German producers did not want the drug used for infanticide.

Albert Gore believes this pill is good, and that it benefits women's 
	health and safety.  He believes that a woman's choice to
	kill a child in her womb is a fundamental right.
	"Today's decision is not about politics, but the health and 
	safety of American women and a woman's fundamental right to choose."

George W. Bush believes this pill is bad because it will increase
	the number of infant killings.
	"I fear that making this abortion pill widespread will make abortions
	more and more common"

Onychoschizia - brittle fingernails

	Onychoschizia includes nails that are splitting, frail, soft, thin,
or nails with ridges.  It is caused by the fingernails' continued exposure
to water.  It is also caused by nail polish remover.  I developed
Onychoschizia in the mid 1990s when I worked as a dishwasher in Provo, UT.
The ridges of my nails became exaggerated.  After I changed jobs, it took 
years for my fingernails to smooth down, and they still aren't the same as
they originally were.

NVIC - National Vaccine Information Center

	Quoted from the National Vaccine Information Center website:

"The National Vaccine Information Center (NVIC) is a national, non-profit
educational organization founded in 1982. It is the oldest and largest
national organization advocating reformation of the mass vaccination
system and is responsible for launching the vaccine safety movement in
America in the early 1980�s. Located in Vienna, Virginia, NVIC is 
dedicated to the prevention of vaccine injuries and deaths through public
education. NVIC provides assistance to parents whose children have 
suffered vaccine reactions; promotes research to evaluate vaccine safety
and effectiveness as well as to identify factors which place individuals
at high risk for suffering vaccine reactions; and monitors vaccine research,
development, policy-making and legislation. NVIC supports the right of 
citizens to exercise informed consent and make educated, independent

MMR - vaccination


	The MMR vaccination is an injection given in 3 parts to
immunize children against Measles, Mumps, and Rubella (German Measles).
Recipients are usually between 12 and 15 months in age.  The
vaccine contains modified live virus particles.  The virus is
modified to prevent full contraction of the disease and to prevent
the virus from becoming infectios to other people.  The injection is
applied to the upper arm, thigh, or buttock.  The body responds 
to the virus particles by producing antibodies which fight
the virus.
	The vaccinations can cause some less severe symptoms of
each of the 3 diseases.  It can also cause convultions and 
Subacute Sclerosing Panencephalitis.  It is suspected that the
vaccinations can also cause Asthma, Diabetes, Guillain-Barre syndrome,
Crohn's Disease, and Autism.
 	Dr. John O'Leary from Ireland found the measles virus present
in the gut of 96% of autistic children compared to 6.6% of thos who
did not have autism.  The virus did not of course come from the 
natural onset of the disease, but was introduced by vaccinations.
Similarly, 75% of subjects with Crohn's disease had the measles
virus present.
	The NVIC studies and reveals serious problems caused
by the MMR and other vaccinations.  On their website is the story
of Anna who was left physically paralyzed (encephalopathy) from 
the MMR vaccination.  The following is the story word for word from 
their web site.  She sure looks like a champion in this picture.

"Eight year old Anna cannot sit without support or cannot walk without braces
and a walker.  Most of the time she sits in her wheelchair. Anna was left
paralyzed after she was injected with MMR (measles, mumps, rubella) vaccine
at 15 months of age.
	Anna was the second of two children born to a family in Virginia.
She had been a bright, healthy baby and toddler and had started walking at 
13 months. When it came time for her to get her first MMR shot at 15
months, the pediatrician told her mother to expect a mild reaction anywhere
from 10 days to two weeks after the shot that might include cold symptoms or
a rash.
	Nine days after her shot, Anna had a runny nose and a low grade 
fever.  Her mother was not concerned about those symptoms but she was
concerned that Anna was very irritable. Although her cold symptoms eventually
disappeared, Anna did not return to the happy, playful toddler she had once 
been.  Instead she continued her strange behavior, crying and wanting to be 
held constantly. Then Anna started tripping and falling down.
	When Anna's mother called the pediatrician, he told her to put ice on
the leg where he had given Anna the injection and give her Tylenol. Fourteen
days after the MMR shot, Anna's mother took her child back to the
pediatrician. Although Anna had always loved to play and laugh with her 
pediatrician, this time she screamed every time he tried to come near her.
	Over the next six weeks, Anna lost the ability to sit or walk. One
doctor suggested that she be seen by a psychologist to determine why Anna was
refusing to walk. When Anna's mother consulted a neurologist, the neurologist
immediately hospitalized Anna with a suspected diagnosis of tumor on her
spinal cord. The MRI scan of her brain showed there were lesions in the white
matter of her brain. All other tests came back negative.
	Anna continued to deteriorate and lost all control of her trunk and
legs. When she tried to sit up, she would flop over like a rag doll. Nearly
every week she would run a fever for two to three days. Lab test after lab 
test was performed to try to find out what had happened to her. In a four
week period, she endured seven spinal taps. During one hospitalization, Anna
turned completely limp and doctors feared she would lose her ability to
breathe on her own and would have to be put on a respirator. 
	Eventually Anna was put on steroid therapy, which helped her to
regain her personality and stop her brain from further deteriorating. However,
she remained paralyzed in the lower body, with some upper body involvement and
was left with processing delays.
	Today Anna attends third grade in a wheelchair. As she grows and
becomes taller and heavier, it is hard for her to keep the trunk of her body
upright. Anna loves to swim underwater because she says it makes her feel free.

In 1993, the U.S. Court of Claims in Washington, D.C. officially acknowledged
that Anna suffered post vaccination encephalopathy following her MMR
vaccination as a toddler."
