Citing claims they had seen on a website belonging to Rima Laibow and Albert Stubblebeine, they expressed concern that the use of vitamins and other natural health therapies would be prohibited worldwide after that date. http://www4.dr-rath-foundation.org/THE_FOUNDATION/Events/codex-agentsofdisinformation.html 20100106115300 Wed, 06 Jan 2010 11:53:00 GMT Support Sanco in it's struggle to save millions of lives http://www4.dr-rath-foundation.org/videos/health_politics.html?video=sanco 20091119104500 Thu, 19 Nov 2009 10:45:00 GMT Stop Codex! http://www4.dr-rath-foundation.org/Newsletter/archive/newsletter_2009_11_nov_02.html 20091102150600 Mon, 02 Nov 2009 15:06:00 GMT Stop Codex! http://www4.dr-rath-foundation.org/links/index.html#stopcodex 20091102080500 Mon, 02 Nov 2009 08:05:00 GMT Milestones in Protecting Health and Life http://www4.dr-rath-foundation.org/videos/other_lectures.html?video=milestones_in_protecting_health_and_life 20091023092500 Fri, 23 Oct 2009 09:25:00 GMT Jimmy Wales: Any embarrassment Jimmy Wales might feel when asked about his controversial attempts to rewrite the past and paint himself as the sole founder of Wikipedia must surely pale away into insignificance compared to the public humiliation he suffered in 2008 following the breakup of his liaison with onetime Fox News pundit Rachel Marsden. http://www4.dr-rath-foundation.org/THE_FOUNDATION/wiki_rath/jimmy_wales.html 20091020134900 Tue, 20 Oct 2009 13:49:00 GMT Research Breakthroughs That Break Down Walls http://www4.dr-rath-foundation.org/videos/natural_health_information.html?video=research_breakthroughs 20091016115200 Fri, 16 Oct 2009 11:52:00 GMT Instructional Video - Diabetes http://www4.dr-rath-foundation.org/videos/natural_health_information.html?video=instructional_video_diabetes 20091012115600 Mon, 12 Oct 2009 11:56:00 GMT Unlawful interference, threats and propaganda lead to Irish voting 'Yes' on Lisbon Treaty http://www4.dr-rath-foundation.org/Newsletter/archive/newsletter_2009_10_oct_09.html 20091009113700 Fri, 09 Oct 2009 11:37:00 GMT Instructional Video - Cardiovascular disease http://www4.dr-rath-foundation.org/videos/natural_health_information.html?video=cardiovascular_disease 20091002092400 Fri, 02 Oct 2009 09:24:00 GMT A global fear of swine flu pandemic that started in April this year brought many important political and economic decisions affecting almost every country of the world. Is this threat real? Or is this a largely orchestrated campaign to take over and dominate the health care systems of many countries? We are addressing some important issues that should help in answering these questions. http://www4.dr-rath-foundation.org/THE_FOUNDATION/swineflu_facts-fiction.html 20090930141400 Wed, 30 Sep 2009 14:14:00 GMT The victory over heart disease is now in sight! http://www4.dr-rath-foundation.org/videos/dr_rath_and_linus_pauling.html 20090925121400 Fri, 25 Sep 2009 12:14:00 GMT Say NO to the Lisbon Treaty! http://www4.dr-rath-foundation.org/Newsletter/archive/newsletter_2009_09_sep_24.html 20090924134100 Thu, 24 Sep 2009 13:41:00 GMT On October 2, the people of Ireland will vote on the so-called “Treaty of Lisbon”, the proposed constitution-like platform for the future of Europe. This unique opportunity for the people of Ireland to exert their democratic right is the result of a century-long battle of the Irish people for freedom and independence. Amazingly, however, the people of the other 26 nations of Europe were denied the basic democratic right to vote on the future of their continent. Apparently, the architects of the “Brussels EU” were afraid that during any European-wide vote, the fundamentally undemocratic nature of the Lisbon Treaty, as the legal platform to cement corporate control over Europe, would be unmasked. What is at stake is the takeover of the economic, social and even private lives of the European people by corporate interests – namely, those of the chemical, pharmaceutical and petrochemical industry – or, the preservation of democracy, liberty and freedom. What is at stake on October 2 is not just the future of the people of Ireland but the future of 500 million people living in Europe today and many millions more as yet unborn. In this historic situation, the disenfranchised people of Europe turn to the people of Ireland and call upon them to vote on their behalf. http://www.eu-facts.org/en/ireland/index.html 20090923093000 Wed, 23 Sep 2009 09:30:00 GMT When looking at Wikipedia, you may have assumed that it is an independent child of the internet age, run by a small army of volunteers committed to spreading truthful and independent information.

The case of the liberation of human health from the monopoly of pharmaceutical drugs, and the incorporation of science based natural health approaches into public health policies, is no exception. http://www4.dr-rath-foundation.org/THE_FOUNDATION/exposing_the_agents_of_disinformation.html 20090824131200 Mon, 24 Aug 2009 13:12:00 GMT The Ghosts of Auschwitz Have Arrived in Latin America http://www4.dr-rath-foundation.org/Newsletter/index.php 20090811132900 Tue, 11 Aug 2009 13:29:00 GMT On the occasion of the decision of French drug maker Sanofi to invest $140 million to build a plant for the manufacturing of dubious vaccines for a non-existing influenza epidemic in Mexico, a short historical review is appropriate. http://www4.dr-rath-foundation.org/THE_FOUNDATION/ghosts_of_auschwitz_20090807.html 20090807114600 Fri, 07 Aug 2009 11:46:00 GMT From time to time, people write and ask us why the media doesn't give more publicity to the issues that we cover on our website. If all of the things on the Foundation's website are true, they reason, then wouldn't the media be reporting on them as well? To illustrate why such thinking is naïve, and in response to the many requests we have received to speak out about the TV item on Codex that was broadcast in May 2008 on the Tros TV channel in the Netherlands, the following article by Paul Anthony Taylor, the Foundation's External Relations Director, explains why Big Media cannot be seen as an ally in the campaign for vitamin freedom. http://www4.dr-rath-foundation.org/THE_FOUNDATION/big_media_20090727.html 20090728085200 Tue, 28 Jul 2009 08:52:00 GMT The 26 June - 3 July 2009 issue of Formula AS, a popular Romanian magazine, carried an interview on the subject of Codex Alimentarius with the Foundation's External Relations Director, Paul Anthony Taylor. http://www4.dr-rath-foundation.org/THE_FOUNDATION/formula_as_interview_20090703.html 20090722132700 Wed, 22 Jul 2009 13:27:00 GMT The dam of the "business with the AIDS epidemic" is breaking http://www4.dr-rath-foundation.org/Newsletter/archive/newsletter_2009_05_may_27.html 20090527101900 Wed, 27 May 2009 10:19:00 GMT The new findings from two academic institutions in Hamburg and Heidelberg, Germany, published in May 2009 in the "Proceedings of the National Academy of Science USA" - that green tea extracts can inhibit the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) - may come as a surprise to many people, but not to us. http://www4.dr-rath-foundation.org/NHC/articles/2009_05_22_business_with_the_aids_epidemic.html 20090522103300 Fri, 22 May 2009 10:33:00 GMT Dear friends. After fighting the battle against the pharmaceutical "business with disease" for nearly two decades, our Foundation is increasingly experiencing a growing wave of support. This is a sign that more and more people are seeing through the deceptive maze of these interests and are ready to take more responsibility for the creation of a new, effective, safe and affordable system of health care. http://www4.dr-rath-foundation.org/Newsletter/archive/newsletter_2009_05_may_20.html 20090520150300 Wed, 20 May 2009 15:03:00 GMT ARV Facts / Call for a second 'Nuremberg' Tribunal (NT2) / Chemo Facts / Cholesterol Facts / Dr. Rath Research Institute / END AIDS! / EU Facts / European Referendum Initiative / International Alliance for Health, Peace and Social Justice / Natural Control of Cancer / No-Coup.org / Pharma Facts / Profit Over Life / Relay of Life / Road Map to Health / Why Animals Don't Get Heart Attacks / World Health Alphabetization http://www4.dr-rath-foundation.org/links/index.html 20090519122900 Tue, 19 May 2009 12:29:00 GMT It is a scientific fact that ARV drugs are some of the most toxic substances that can be given to the human body without killing it immediately. The extremely harmful side effects of these drugs include drug-induced immune deficiencies, the failure of various organs of the body and death. These side effects are listed in every patient information leaflet required by law to be attached to ARV drugs. http://www4.dr-rath-foundation.org/THE_FOUNDATION/genocide_then_now.html 20090508124100 Fri, 08 May 2009 12:41:00 GMT Swine Flu and Human Influenza - Questions and Answers http://www4.dr-rath-foundation.org/Newsletter/index.php 20090508105800 Fri, 08 May 2009 10:58:00 GMT As regular as clockwork, the mass media warns mankind of the dangers of an impending pandemic. In 2003 we had SARS (Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome), 3 years ago it was bird-flu, and now we have swine-flu hysteria. http://www4.dr-rath-foundation.org/pdf-files/flyer_swineflu_en.pdf 20090507153600 Thu, 07 May 2009 15:36:00 GMT It's been three years since the bird flu scare, six years since the outbreak of SARS and now the alerts about a potential pandemic of swine flu tops the news sections in the US, Mexico and other countries, including many countries in Europe which have not yet been affected by a swine flu. http://www4.dr-rath-foundation.org/THE_FOUNDATION/swineflu_09may01.html 20090506085800 Wed, 06 May 2009 08:58:00 GMT Movement of Life! http://www4.dr-rath-foundation.org/Newsletter/index.php 20090414131800 Tue, 14 Apr 2009 13:18:00 GMT Speech by Dr. Rath, Kerkrade, the Netherlands - April 4, 2009. This week we all witnessed at the G-20 conference in London, how fiercely the global battle between the status quo and the forces of change is being fought. The status quo, represented by the multi-trillion dollar investment businesses of petrochemicals and pharmaceuticals - in short, the oil and drug cartel - is represented by its current political stakeholders France's Nicholas Sarkozy and Germany's Angela Merkel. http://www4.dr-rath-foundation.org/THE_FOUNDATION/rolduc_09arp04.html 20090409124600 Thu, 09 Apr 2009 12:46:00 GMT Make Your Voice Heard: Reject The Lisbon Treaty! http://www4.dr-rath-foundation.org/Newsletter/index.php#lisbon 20090326092700 Fri, 27 Mar 2009 09:26:00 GMT REJECT THE LISBON TREATY! http://www4.dr-rath-foundation.org/Newsletter/archive/newsletter_2009_03_mar_13.html 20090313103500 Fri, 13 Mar 2009 10:35:00 GMT Newly discovered documents reveal that the undemocratic structure of the "Brussels EU" has its roots in the post WWII plans of the IG Farben/Nazi-coalition in a conquered Europe. Following are a few of the most important documents, to be used by teachers, politicians and just anyone interested to prevent the "Brussels EU" to establish a dictatorship of corporate interests in Europe. http://www4.dr-rath-foundation.org/brussels_eu/roots/index.html 20090114113000 Wed, 14 Jan 2009 11:30:00 GMT Looking back over the past 12 months, there can be very little doubt that, from the perspective of the large multinational producers of genetically modified (GM) seeds and food, 2008 was a very bad year indeed. Far from moving closer towards the GM industry�s cherished dream of seeing foods grown from patented GM seeds becoming the norm on our dinner plates, it would seem that consumers are, if anything, becoming more suspicious than ever regarding these products. As such, with reports of the dangers of GM food becoming more common almost by the week, and even Prince Charles � the heir to the British throne - now openly stating that the widespread use of GM crops would be the biggest environmental disaster of all time, it is no longer too difficult to envisage a future where the consumption of naturally-grown organic foods, rather than GM foods, might become the norm. So, as we head into 2009, let�s take a look back at some of the key reasons why the GM food industry�s senior executives and shareholders may be looking with increasing trepidation at the year ahead. http://www4.dr-rath-foundation.org/THE_FOUNDATION/2008_gm_multinationals.html 20090107103500 Wed, 07 Jan 2009 10:35:00 GMT A few months ago I shared with you my analysis about the present political situation in an article headlined �The Icarus Sect�. In this article I named the interests who for decades have been robbing our planet and are willing to sacrifice the health and the lives of billions of people in the interest of the chemical/pharmaceutical and oil Cartel. The name "Icarus" is taken from a figure in Greek mythology: The arrogant Icarus � armed with artificial wings made out of wax � tried to fly higher and higher. He succeeded until he got too close to the sun and its heat melted the wax of his fake wings. Inevitably, he fell from the sky to his death. Precisely this is the fate of today's "Icarus Sect", those interest groups who have been ruthlessly seeking to monopolize health, food and energy supplies for the people of our planet. In order to continue their unscrupulous investment business, they were willing to bring wars, epidemics, hunger and economic crisis to our planet. http://www4.dr-rath-foundation.org/THE_FOUNDATION/peoples_europe/index.html 20081223151700 Tue, 23 Dec 2008 15:17:00 GMT Latest News Updates: Keep up-to-date on the latest health and politics news with our regular updates and analysis of the key stories from around the world. http://www4.dr-rath-foundation.org/Newsletter/archive/newsletter_2008_12_dec_18.html 20081219145300 Fri, 19 Dec 2008 14:53:00 GMT Up to date news and comment about worldwide developments in natural health. http://www4.dr-rath-foundation.org/THE_FOUNDATION/News/2008/natural_health_alternatives/index.htm 20081216164300 Mon, 16 Dec 2008 16:43:00 GMT Up to date news and comment about the "Business with Disease". http://www4.dr-rath-foundation.org/THE_FOUNDATION/News/2008/pharmaceutical_business/index.htm 20081216164200 Mon, 16 Dec 2008 16:42:00 GMT Up to date news and comment about UN related public health issues. http://www4.dr-rath-foundation.org/THE_FOUNDATION/News/2008/un_related_issues/index.htm 20081216164100 Mon, 16 Dec 2008 16:41:00 GMT Health news and comment from around the world. http://www4.dr-rath-foundation.org/THE_FOUNDATION/News/2008/other_news/index.htm 20081216164000 Mon, 16 Dec 2008 16:40:00 GMT Latest News Updates: Keep up-to-date on the latest health and politics news with our regular updates and analysis of the key stories from around the world. http://www4.dr-rath-foundation.org/Newsletter/archive/newsletter_2008_12_dec_09.html 20081209130600 Tue, 09 Dec 2008 13:06:00 GMT Up to date news and comment about worldwide developments in natural health. http://www4.dr-rath-foundation.org/THE_FOUNDATION/News/2008/natural_health_alternatives/index.htm 20081208133500 Mon, 08 Dec 2008 13:35:00 GMT Up to date news and comment about the "Business with Disease". http://www4.dr-rath-foundation.org/THE_FOUNDATION/News/2008/pharmaceutical_business/index.htm 20081208133400 Mon, 08 Dec 2008 13:34:00 GMT Health news and comment from around the world. http://www4.dr-rath-foundation.org/THE_FOUNDATION/News/2008/other_news/index.htm 20081208133300 Mon, 08 Dec 2008 13:33:00 GMT Up to date news and comment about GMO issues. http://www4.dr-rath-foundation.org/THE_FOUNDATION/News/2008/gmo_news/index.htm 20081208133200 Mon, 08 Dec 2008 13:32:00 GMT Ending the Genocide of the Pharmaceutical Drug Cartel http://www4.dr-rath-foundation.org/Newsletter/archive/newsletter_2008_12_dec_05.html 20081205081400 Fri, 05 Dec 2008 08:14:00 GMT Up to date news and comment about UN related public health issues. http://www4.dr-rath-foundation.org/THE_FOUNDATION/News/2008/un_related_issues/index.htm 20081127103300 Thu, 27 Nov 2008 10:33:00 GMT Comment on the G-20 Declaration on "Financial Markets and the World Economy" http://www4.dr-rath-foundation.org/Newsletter/archive/newsletter_2008_11_nov_20.html 20081120081600 Thu, 20 Nov 2008 08:16:00 GMT The medical profession would have you believe that only patented synthetic chemical drugs can prevent or treat disease.

The promoters of these claims include certain media, ARV-supporters among the clinical community, activist groups as well as politicians around the world. However, the scientific validity and truth of these ARV-related health claims has never been proven in well-controlled, long-term scientific studies. Moreover, the promoters of these drugs never had to defend these claims in court and under oath. That has now changed. In 2007, a case brought against the British newspaper the Guardian presented for the first time the opportunity to challenge these claims in a court. http://www4.dr-rath-foundation.org/THE_FOUNDATION/the_truth_about_arvs/index.html 20081028130200 Tue, 28 Oct 2008 13:02:00 GMT Recognise the signs of the times! http://www4.dr-rath-foundation.org/Newsletter/archive/newsletter_2008_09_sep_04.html 20080904082400 Thu, 04 Sep 2008 08:24:00 GMT We are at a turning point in the history of medicine, moving from a medicine that serves the interests of the pharmaceutical investment industry, to a medicine serving the people. This goal, based on Dr. Rath's scientific discoveries, is the foundation and impetus for the work of our Health Alliance. Developments in recent weeks have shown how close we have come to achieving this goal through the ongoing and increasing confirmation of the findings of Dr. Rath's scientific research. It is as though the floodgates have opened and all of a sudden there is a surge in the number of new studies proving the effectiveness of vitamins and other micronutrients in combating cancer. The following events also show clearly how incisive this turning point is: On 5 August 2008, Dr. Rath was officially invited by the editor-in-chief of the "International Journal of Cancer" (IJC) Professor Harald zur Hausen, to be a scientific consultant for this journal. Besides being editor-in-chief of the IJC, Professor zur Hausen was also Director of the German Cancer Research Centre (DKFZ) in Heidelberg for two decades. http://www4.dr-rath-foundation.org/THE_FOUNDATION/About_Dr_Matthias_Rath/letter_zurhausen_2008-aug.html 20080902121800 Tue, 02 Sep 2008 12:18:00 GMT Latest News Updates: Keep up-to-date on the latest health and politics news with our regular updates and analysis of the key stories from around the world. http://www4.dr-rath-foundation.org/Newsletter/archive/newsletter_2008_08_aug_29.html 20080829083100 Fri, 29 Aug 2008 08:31:00 GMT Response by Dr. Rath to the Invitation to Become a Reviewer of the International Journal of Cancer http://www4.dr-rath-foundation.org/Newsletter/archive/newsletter_2008_08_aug_19.html 20080819093300 Tue, 19 Aug 2008 09:33:00 GMT Heart failure is a deteriorating condition accompanied by edema, fatigue and difficulty conducting even simple activities. It affects people at any age and it often develops as a result of heart disease. Heart failure patients often suffer from irregular heart beat, a frightening condition that carries a risk of a sudden death. About five million people in the US are affected by heart failure and arrhythmia and about 30-40% of them die within one year of diagnosis. Heart failure together with malignant cancers is responsible for more than half of the deaths in people 45 years old and older. Unfortunately, heart failure and arrhythmia are increasing. Although many new pharmaceutical drugs have become available they focus not on the root cause of these problems but on the symptoms, and are associated with a very high risk of side effects. This article indicates that it is time for major revision of current health approaches and presents new cellular medicine-based therapeutic directions in these diseases. http://www4.dr-rath-foundation.org/NHC/articles/2008_08_15_heart_failure.html 20080815084300 Fri, 15 Aug 2008 08:43:00 GMT Many ugly malformations of scar tissues or prolonged and complicated recoveries from surgical procedures can be avoided by the simple measure of taking the right vitamins. This is not new knowledge however. As long ago as 1937, Harvard Medical School surgeons observed the importance of vitamin C for wound healing in patients recovering from surgeries [1]. These physicians noted that "spontaneous breakdown of a surgical wound in the absence of infection occurs with relative frequency in patients with the cachexia of cancer, in debilitated individuals, and in young patients; notably those who have some congenital anomaly of the gastro-intestinal tract." Therefore, their recommendation for the administration of vitamin C was based on their subsequent observations that wound healing becomes faulty with low vitamin C, and that vitamin C levels were low in their patients. While such information remains pertinent today, it may be omitted in medical practice as routine protocols take precedent in the clinic. Recently we have received reports from nurses and practitioners whose patients' wounds will not heal despite the lack of complications. These practitioners even speculated that it may be a vitamin C deficiency or other malnutrition that is responsible for the slow wound healing. However, they admitted that some of their patients, frightened by the media vitamin scares, were hesitant to take supplements without scientific evidence of their beneficial effects. http://www4.dr-rath-foundation.org/NHC/articles/2008_08_14_vitamin_c_in_wound_healing.html 20080814104000 Thu, 14 Aug 2008 10:40:00 GMT The scientific rationale for the use of vitamins and other micronutrients in supporting immune function is not new. Over the past century, no less than nine Nobel Prizes have been awarded to vitamin research, the majority in relation to the importance to their essential role in optimizing immune response. This nutrient community health program was the largest program of its kind ever carried out since the AIDS epidemic began. The results from the program show that micronutrients can improve the symptoms of immune deficiencies - including those characterized by the WHO as AIDS-defining. http://www4.dr-rath-foundation.org/nat_vit/index.html 20080807094800 Thu, 07 Aug 2008 09:48:00 GMT From the point of view of its founders, Wikipedia must surely be seen as a rip-roaring success. A multilingual, Web-based, free content encyclopaedia project, created in 2001 and written collaboratively by volunteers from all around the world, it has rapidly grown to become one of the world's top ten most popular web sites. These days, when conducting a Google search on almost any subject, in the majority of cases a Wikipedia article will come up either top of the rankings or, at the very least, amongst the top ten results. Increasingly however, serious questions are being asked regarding the reliability of its content. http://www4.dr-rath-foundation.org/THE_FOUNDATION/wikipedia_aug08.html 20080806082100 Wed, 06 Aug 2008 08:21:00 GMT On June 13, 2008, the court in Cape Town cast a verdict in a case brought by two organizations that promote toxic ARV drugs as the solution to the AIDS crisis: the "South African Medical Association" (SAMA) and the so-called "Treatment Action Campaign" (TAC). While SAMA is a well known organisation with its leadership closely linked to the drug industry, the TAC may not be known beyond the borders of South Africa. Its activities can best be described with two statements which the same Cape Town court - in a previous case - did not find objectionable: "they organize rented crowds for the drug industry" in order to "force the government [of South Africa] to spend millions of Rand on toxic drugs." http://www4.dr-rath-foundation.org/THE_FOUNDATION/statement_court_za_20080613.html 20080619083200 Thu, 19 Jun 2008 08:32:00 GMT Following the storm of protest that erupted after the recent Cochrane review's publication, it didn't take long for evidence to emerge that certain newspaper editors had put their journalists under pressure to back it. The British journalist and writer Rachel Johnson, for example, had written an article entitled 'Not so vital vitamins' for the Sunday Times in which she cited the review, stated that vitamins are a waste of money and claimed that taking them may shorten life expectancy. http://www4.dr-rath-foundation.org/PHARMACEUTICAL_BUSINESS/big_media_20080618.html 20080619082100 Thu, 19 Jun 2008 08:21:00 GMT During April 2008, much of the world's media was awash with stories claiming that taking vitamin supplements could lead to a premature death. According to a review conducted on behalf of the Cochrane Collaboration by researchers at Copenhagen University in Denmark, studies using beta-carotene, vitamin A and vitamin E showed "significantly increased mortality", whilst trials of vitamin C "found no significant effect." Read on to discover what the world' media didn't tell you about this Cochrane review, including its potential historical parallel with crimes committed by the managers of the I.G. Farben cartel. http://www4.dr-rath-foundation.org/PHARMACEUTICAL_BUSINESS/cochrane_20080514.html 20080515135300 Thu, 15 May 2008 13:53:00 GMT Vitamins and Minerals - Miscellaneous Studies: The precautionary principle: a critique in the context of the EU Food Supplements Directive / The European regulation of food supplements and food fortification / Food supplements and European Regulation within a Precautionary Context: A Critique and Implications for Nutritional, Toxicological and Regulatory Consistency / Food supplements and fortified foods: the EC's patriarchal precautionary perspectives on public health / New recommended daily allowances: benchmarking healthy European micronutrient regulation http://www4.dr-rath-foundation.org/NHC/researcharchive.html#vitamins 20080505144300 Mon, 05 May 2008 14:43:00 GMT Break the Chains of Pharmaceutical Colonialism http://www4.dr-rath-foundation.org/THE_FOUNDATION/About_Dr_Matthias_Rath/end_aids.html 20080319083100 Wed, 19 Mar 2008 08:31:00 GMT Russia stands at a crossroads: one path leads to the subjection to the corporate pressure of multi-national interests from the West. The other path is to build on the economic growth of the past decade and develop a society focussing on the needs of the people. On this path, Russia could become a model for the entire world. http://www4.dr-rath-foundation.org/open_letters/open_letter_2008_02_28.html 20080228102700 Thu, 28 Feb 2008 10:27:00 GMT Any lingering doubts as to which political direction the European Union is now heading in were cleared up once and for all recently when Justice Commissioner Franco Frattini announced plans to fingerprint and screen all visitors who cross its borders. From 2009 it will become mandatory for all EU passports to include a digital fingerprint and photograph and, from 2011 non-EU citizens who apply for a visa will have to give their biometric details. http://www4.dr-rath-foundation.org/THE_FOUNDATION/brussels_mafia.html 20080222133300 Fri, 22 Feb 2008 13:33:00 GMT The North American Union (NAU) appears to be modeling itself on a European Union (EU) that has already been subverted by corporate interests. As such, the direction that it is apparently heading in is clearly contrary to the health interests of American, Canadian and Mexican citizens. http://www4.dr-rath-foundation.org/us/north_american_union.html 20080213091500 Wed, 13 Feb 2008 09:15:00 GMT Public Health Message for Candidates and People Who Want Real Change - On January 15, 2008, the "New York Times" and others reported about a clinical study with a combination of two cholesterol lowering drugs (statins) that showed shocking results: Patients receiving these statin drugs developed coronary artery plaques - the cause of heart attacks - twice as fast as the control group. Worse, the drug makers had withheld this crucial data for almost 2 years - despite the fact that 5 million people are currently taking these drugs. Statin drugs are a $40 billion annual business built entirely on the perception that they prevent heart attacks. This study threatens the credibility of the entire drug industry. A Congressional investigation is pending. http://www4.dr-rath-foundation.org/open_letters/open_letter_2008_01_31.html 20080131140900 Thu, 31 Jan 2008 14:09:00 GMT Hundreds of millions of people worldwide (100 million in the USA) again have their health and lives put at risk in order to increase profits for the drug companies! http://www4.dr-rath-foundation.org/THE_FOUNDATION/vitorin_study_2008jan.html 20080130150500 Wed, 30 Jan 2008 15:05:00 GMT
