WISE WOMEN MEDIA for 12/16/15--Special Guest Dr. Rima Laibow, MD on Big Pharma, Big Medicine and Vaccination Mandates

Dr. Rima Laibow, MD
Don’t miss this show. Dr. Rima Laibow is an advocate for every person seeking natural and pure health solutions. And she defends the right for every person to have “informed consent” regarding their medical care. 

We will be talking about Big Pharma and pharmaceuticals, Big Medicine as a corporatized industry, profits and the bottom line and vaccination legislation and mandates.

The first audio file will be posted here on December 15th, 2015.

Dr. Laibow’s Bio:

Rima E. Laibow, M.D. is the Medical Director of the Natural Solutions Foundation. She is a graduate of Albert Einstein College of Medicine (1970) who believes passionately in the right every American to choose a personal health path that is free of government or corporate interference. She has practiced drug-free, natural medicine for 35 years by seeking the underlying cause of every illness and ailment. 


Like other healers who trust the innate ability to heal, she believes in using nutrients and other natural options to find, define and treat the problems which underlie degenerative, chronic diseases. The key is supporting the immune and other crucial body systems. Dr. Laibow has seen results from these techniques so often in her patients and in her personal life, that she believes the medicine of the future is the medicine of cooperation with nature.

Because of Dr. Laibow’s awareness of the wide variety of powerful natural, non-toxic options available to treat the underlying causes of disease, she is focused on maintaining these choices for all Americans. Based on her understanding of the impact of poor nutrition and chemical/pesticide toxicity on the declining health of America, Dr. Laibow is determined to help Americans maintain their right to choose health promotion rather than illness care in their efforts to protect themselves from disease and toxic harm.

IS THIS THE END OF THE INNOCENCE?

Barbara with Grand-daughter

BY TRISHA SPRINGSTEAD
April 29, 2015
“ Offer up your best defense this is the End of the Innocence”  Don Henley.

Barbara Bourgeois is 43 years old, a lifelong Louisiana native who has such innocence in her story that she related in regard to the “Gulf Oil Disaster.” Before the disaster Barbie raised 5 children had 2 jobs; one as a dock hand at Myrtle Grove Marina and the other as a cook at the Riverside Restaurant. She made approximately $65,000 a year owned her land and her home. Life was good, she has worked hard and loves her family and children. Life was a celebration of births, eating seafood and she was part of a culture that she loves, this was her very existence. Barbara was colorful, sweet, respectful and charming.   

When the Deepwater Horizon blew on that horrific day, she was in Gretna, Louisiana. Barbie, as she is known by friends and family, came back home to Venice on April 22, 2010. She felt guilty she told this writer because she wasn't “at home when this happened.“ She thought because she was not in Venice in the day of the blowout, that she was not due any compensation from the poisoning by BP and the constant barrage of Corexit dispersant that was in the water.  

In the faded light of a local bar with a great jukebox, we sat as she relayed her story. The lines etched in her beautiful face told a story of struggle, hardship, loves lost and a life that she came to see as an everyday reality. There was a stillness in that dimly lit structure and a sadness that  truly pervaded the people who met with me to be heard.

As I asked her questions she was so appreciative that someone cared and her words were “...you are the real deal” over and over again. I was humbled yet again, that she would share her story with someone that she did not even know. She had no idea how bad it would be and how it would effect her life; not only physically and emotionally but mentally and spiritually. Barbara began getting sick almost immediately after she returned to Venice, Louisiana.

“The first thing that I remembered was the smell,”  Barbara stated, “something just was not right.” Barbie's symptoms mirrored so many of  those that  I have interviewed in the past 5 years. As a medical professional I was appalled at the treatment or lack thereof by my peers and by physicians. The audacity and prejudgment by the medical community was unbelievable and I wanted to apologize for every person in the field that had contact with her.  

I know for a fact that an email was sent out to every single university and facility in the Gulf Region to treat these people symptomatically and not holistically. This writer intends to have a copy of that memo soon.

Never once was this sweet soul offered a VOC panel or any toxicity testing. Just another “Cajun” that fell through the cracks of a broken, uncommunicative
and glaringly inept medical system when it comes to environmental testing, toxin exposure and mainstream medicine.   


Some of Barbara's symptoms were the following:

* coughing and continuous sinus problems

* respiratory difficulties (Her capillary refill was poor and she is walking around every day with close to a 95% oxygen saturation. Barbie was diagnosed with asthma at 8 years old and had outgrown this condition. She was coughing and wheezing with rales and auditory wheezing when at rest.)   

* skin rashes and spontaneous bruising

* chest pains and fluid buildup

* vomiting and nausea on a daily basis (when she coughs she vomits)

* inability to sleep

* agitation and depression

* isolation 

* an inability to perform her activities of daily living (ADL's) due to constant lack of sleep

* lethargy and weakness.


Upon physical background and assessment she was mentally alert and oriented but could not remember what she had eaten for dinner the night before and could not remember what happened at Easter approximately 3 weeks prior. This was after a physician in Louisiana put her on NINE  (9) PSYCHOTROPIC MEDICATIONS FOR DEPRESSION.

Her vision was poor and her eyes burned constantly; all symptoms coming from this 43 year old woman who had 20/20 vision before the “BP Disaster.” Barbie has numbness and tingling in her feet and fingertips and her sensation to hot and cold were poor either poor or at times non-existent. She had bumps and abnormal swelling on her arms and legs.  

When we spoke she was on 3 medications: Albuterol for breathing, Clonazepam for anxiety and rest and Atenolol for her high blood pressure. Two weeks before my interview with her, Barbie was taken via ambulance for “chest pain” to a hospital where they tried to put her on mechanical ventilation. Barbie had been to the doctors numerous times with cardiac complaints and nothing was found. It was just “stress.” When mechanical ventilation was  refused she was labeled a  drug seeker but upon testing her for non prescribed or street drugs the blood tests came back with just the drugs that she was prescribed.

Barbara has no appetite, she is always afraid and has lost the connections with home and family that she once had. She had been isolated  and very lonely. Barbie  makes little money, has lost her home and property and has been left with so little, that she does not even need to file taxes. The stories of the Barbie's of the Gulf are endless and frightening and as a medical professional, I am having a really hard time constantly hearing the same stories when nothing is being done to make them whole. I feel the sadness that they feel and the pain that they suffer. I am also feeling a great deal of anger because this multinational corporation, the 4th largest corporation in the world took away their lives and their innocence.

"The End Of The Innocence"   
By Glenn Frey

“Remember when the days were long
And rolled beneath a deep blue sky
Didn't have a care in the world
With mommy and daddy standin' by
But "happily ever after" fails
And we've been poisoned by these fairy tales
The lawyers dwell on small details
Since daddy had to fly


O' beautiful, for spacious skies
But now those skies are threatening
They're beating plowshares into swords
For this tired old man that we elected king
Armchair warriors often fail
And we've been poisoned by these fairy tales
The lawyers clean up all details
Since daddy had to lie


Who knows how long this will last
Now we've come so far, so fast
But, somewhere back there in the dust
That same small town in each of us
I need to remember this
So baby give me just one kiss
And let me take a long last look
Before we say goodbye


Just lay your head back on the ground
And let your hair fall all around me
Offer up your best defense
But this is the end
This is the end of the innocence”

It is glaringly apparent that when megalithic, all omniscient, corporations take over the hearts, safety, lives, health and the every day joys that these people do not take for granted, that something has got to change. Our children deserve to grow up free, healthy, whole and happy, it give them back some innocence. Try  and jail the guilty so that we may find true justice against them. For all we ask for is compassion, health and decent jobs for the INNOCENT.

WILL HALF OF US CHILDREN HAVE AUTISM BY 2025?

By Anita Stewart for Challenging the Rhetoric and Wise Woman Media
Cases of Autism are rising rapidly throughout the United States. According to Dr. Seneff, a research physician with the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), if the rapidly escalating rate continues, half of all children in the United States will have Autism by 2025. Over the last decade, numbers and rates of Autism in Europe have flat-lined. Currently in the US, one child out of every 68 has the disease.
How Can This Be?
Dr. Stephanie Seneff believes that in addition to the chemicals found in vaccines the main culprit is in contaminated food. A main chemical in question is called Glyphosate, the active ingredient in Roundup that is the major culprit. It is also important to note that the maker of Roundup is Monsanto, the same company that created Agent Orange, a defoliant widely used in Viet Nam by the US Military, Genetically Modified Organisms (GMO) in our foods and GMO seeds.
Dr. Moench’s theory is that Autism is caused by a combination of factors. He referred to a recent article that stated that 1/3 of the cases were due to a genetic propensity and 2/3 were caused by environmental triggers. He said some people did not have the natural ability to produce a detoxifier called Glutithione. He says we cannot change genetics but we can change the environment. He noted that Autism is not one condition but a full spectrum of disorders and affects people a variety of different ways. Chemical exposure and toxicity seems to play a role most of the time.
Facts?
Glyphosate is in almost everything we eat; it is even directly sprayed on wheat before harvesting. Anything with soy or corn has glyphosate, so that would include meat and meat products (as animals would have the chemical in their feed) in addition to vegetables and fruits.
In addition to Autism, the other diseases and conditions that can be tracked down to poisoning by Glyphosate include the following; this list is not inclusive:
  • Dementia
  • Parkinson’s
  • Alzheimer’s
  • Diabetes
  • Obesity
  • Gastrointestinal Diseases
  • Cardiovascular Disease
  • Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (Lou Gehrig’s Disease)
  • Multiple Sclerosis 
  • Cancer
  • Depression
  • Infertility
In the US Military, if a veteran processes into a Veteran’s Administration (VA) Medical facility, the first question he or she is asked if they have Diabetes is, “Were you stationed in Viet Nam?” and the second is, “To your knowledge, were you exposed to Agent Orange?” Currently 8% of the US general population has Diabetes. According to the VA’s own website, 24% of veterans have Diabetes.
The Science of Politics
Additional chemicals in Roundup are considered “inert” but according to a recent 2014 study, the “inert” chemicals increase the toxic effects of the Roundup hundreds of times over. The cumulative effect of consuming food products with only small amounts of Glyphosate can still be dangerous. A recent study reveals that women living near farms have a 60% chance of having a child with Autism. Glyphosate is also in breast milk in 760 to 1600 times the allowable limits in European drinking water.
What is not known by many or even discussed is who does the research science and peer-reviewed papers and studies on these findings or with the opposing studies? It is shocking that most of the studies are done by scientists working with Monsanto. Monsanto is also the top lobbying company in Washington, DC. Eighteen of the twenty-four lobbyists worked in government jobs before becoming employed by Monsanto. OpenSecrets.org also reveals that Monsanto funds the campaigns of many of our politicians through their Political Action Committee (PAC). It’s convenient to have a PAC in order to get legislation passed easily.
How Do You Help?
Stop using Roundup! Support GMO Labeling. Read labels on everything. Do not confuse the “Natural” label with organic or “non GMO” standards. Support the Organic Consumers Association and other similar organizations. Be an informed consumer and do your research for yourself and your family.
In the United States Dr. Moench stated that we are all being used as guinea pigs as the Precautionary Principle is not being used and it should be! Citizens need to demand unbiased research regarding their food, water, medicines, farming practices, etc. Americans have a right to know how their food is produced.
