60 Lab Studies Now Confirm Cancer Link To Vaccines...

*I would like to thank Kathy Kouwe for this information.

60 Lab Studies Now Confirm Cancer Link to a Vaccine You Probably Had as a Child

http://articles.mercola.com/sites/videos/home.aspx

Dr. Maurice Hilleman made astounding revelations in an interview that was cut from The Health Century -- the admission that Merck drug company vaccines had been injecting dangerous viruses into people worldwide.

Bear in mind that Dr. Hilleman was the developer of Merck's vaccine program. He developed over three dozen vaccines, more than any other scientist in history. He was a member of the U.S. National Academy of Science, the Institute of Medicine, the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, and the American Philosophical Society. He received a special lifetime achievement award from the World Health Organization. Hilleman was one of the early vaccine pioneers to warn about the possibility that simian viruses might contaminate vaccines.
http://articles.mercola.com/sites/articles/archive/2011/02/18/leading-vaccine-doctor-states-cancer-linked-to-polio-vaccine.aspx

The video above has circulated for awhile, and some of you may already have seen it. But I think it's important to revisit and remember history when it comes to vaccines, especially in light of current developments.

For starters, the HPV vaccine Gardasil, which is being vigorously pushed on unsuspecting young girls and women to theoretically guard against cervical cancer still has never been proven to actually prevent cancer. On the contrary, evidence suggests that under certain circumstances the vaccineincreases your risk of precancerous lesions by nearly 45 percent, and an ever increasing number of girls are being seriously injured by this unnecessary vaccine.

As of December 13, 2010, 20,915 adverse reactions had been reported in the United States alone, including 89 deaths, 297 miscarriages or stillbirths, and 370 reports of abnormal pap smears post vaccination.

All of this from a vaccine that has only been on the market for four years!

Making matters worse, as of 2009 the US FDA approved Gardasil for use on young boys as well, and the first male death has also been reported. In September of last year, a young boy died just eight days after being vaccinated with Gardasil.

So what's going on here?

Is it possible that vaccines sold by drugmakers like Merck are causing lethal disease? Judging by history, the answer may be yes.

Contaminated Polio Vaccine Responsible for Human Cancer Cases

In 2002, the journal Lancet published compelling evidence that contaminated polio vaccine was responsible for up to half of the 55,000 non-Hodgkin's lymphoma cases that were occurring each year.

What was it contaminated with?

SV40, a cancer-causing monkey virus. The puzzle began in 1994, when Dr. Michele Carbone, a Loyola University researcher, found the virus SV40, which had never before been detected in humans, in half of the human lung tumors he was studying. Since then, 60 different lab studies have confirmed the results, and SV40 has been found in a variety of human cancers, including lung-, brain-, bone-, and lymphatic cancer.

At first no one could fathom how the virus had been transmitted into the human population.

But in the censored interview with Dr. Maurice Hilleman above, Hilleman admits Merck's responsibility in unleashing this virus via their polio vaccine, as well as the likelihood that there was an importing and spreading the AIDS virus in the same manner.

Just Who is Dr. Maurice Hilleman?

Now, for those of you who may think Dr. Hilleman was just another crackpot (he passed away in 2005), think again. He was, and still is, the leading vaccine pioneer in the history of vaccines. He developed more than three dozen vaccines-more than any other scientist in history-and was the developer of Merck's vaccine program.

He was a member of the U.S. National Academy of Science, the Institute of Medicine, the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, and the American Philosophical Society, and received a special lifetime achievement award from the World Health Organization.

When he was chief of the Department of Respiratory Diseases with what's now the Walter Reed Army Institute of Research, he discovered the genetic changes that occur when the influenza virus mutates, known as shift and drift. He was also one of the early vaccine pioneers to warn about the possibility that simian viruses might contaminate vaccines.So Dr. Hilleman knew what he was talking about. And in his own words, "vaccines have to be considered the bargain basement technology for the 20^th Century."

Vaccines Can Cause the Very Disease They're Meant to Prevent, and Worse

For years, researchers suggested that millions of vials of polio vaccine, contaminated with SV40, infected individuals between 1953 and 1963 and caused human tumors, and by 1999, molecular evidence of SV40 infections were showing up in children born after 1982. Some experts now suggest the virus may have remained in the polio vaccine until as late as 1999.

Still, the FDA and health authorities turned a blind eye.

In addition, just like Gardasil may well increase your risk of cervical cancer rather than reduce it, the live polio vaccine has also been found to cause polio. And, in rare instances the virus in the vaccine has even been known to mutate into a much deadlier version. As reported by MSN News in 2009, genetic analysis has proven such mutated viruses have caused at least seven separate outbreaks in Nigeria.

According to the CDC the last case of wild polio in the US-meaning polio caused naturally and not due to the live polio vaccine-occurred in 1979. From 1980 through 1999, there were NO wild polio cases in the US. Instead we had 144 cases of vaccine-associated paralytic polio (VAPP) caused by live oral polio vaccine.

Polio outbreaks in Haiti and the Dominican Republic in 2002 were also traced back to a strain of oral polio vaccine (OPV) that mutatedback to virulence.

According to a report by Neil Z. Miller of the Global Vaccine Institute, the live polio virus from the vaccine can remain in your throat for one to two weeks and in your feces for up to two months. So not only is the vaccine recipient at risk, but he or she can potentially spread the disease to others.

In 1999, the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) recommended that the United States replace the live-virus vaccine with an inactivated "killed" virus vaccine, which is what remains in use today. However, the inactivated polio virus vaccine has not been without its share of serious side effects either.

Rotavirus Vaccine Contaminated with Pig Virus

Last year, the US FDA suspended the rotavirus vaccine Rotarix after an independent lab discovered it was contaminated with "a substantial amount" of DNA from the porcine circovirus. In pigs, this virus causes poor growth, weight loss, weakness, enlarged lymph nodes, skin rashes, difficulty breathing, jaundice, stomach ulcers, and sudden death.

As expected, both the FDA and GlaxoSmithKline spokespeople stated that the contaminated Rotarix vaccine carried no known human health risks. However, this is easy to say since there are no studies to confirm or deny a link between these viruses and human disease.

In the case of the polio vaccine, the link between the SV40 virus and human cancer wasn't discovered until 40 years later! It is actually surprisingly common for vaccines to contain various animal matter, including foreign animal tissues containing genetic material (DNA/RNA).

Once the Rotarix contamination was discovered, new technology was used to test eight infectious attenuated viral vaccines, and in addition to Rotarix, two others contained "unexpected viral sequences":

A measles vaccine was found to contain low levels of the retrovirus avian leukosis (AVL) virus-a virus known to cause cancer in chickens. This despite the fact that vaccine manufacturers have been required to use eggs from leucosis-free stocks for over 40 years.

Rotateq, Merck's rotavirus vaccine, was found to contain a virus similar to simian (monkey) retrovirus-the SV40 virus previously linked to human cancer.

Are you willing to bet that they a) know what they're talking about, and b) are telling the whole truth and nothing but the truth about the potential health dangers of all these vaccines?

The horrors of vaccines is the very reason I became involved with Young Living this is why I am sending this information. Do yourself a favor and watch the video: http://articles.mercola.com/sites/articles/archive/2011/02/18/leading-vaccine-doctor-states-cancer-linked-to-polio-vaccine.aspx

Nail Health

Nail Health with Conditioning Recipes

Debra Raybern, N.D, M.H., C.N.C., I.C.A.

Remember when the doctor used to look into your eyes and at your hands when you went in for a check-up? Why?, because our fingernails are a window into our body's health. Changes in the look, shape, or color of our finger nails can indicate a nutritional deficiency or disease somewhere in our body long before other symptoms manifest. Though your doctor may not look intensely at your nails anymore, you can use the following guide to evaluate your overall health. Don't ignore your nails; they can serve as an early warning signal for your health. If you are use to polishing your nails, give them a break, let them breath and take a look at what they are telling you.

Healthy nails are pink on the nail bed indicating a rich blood supply. Nails are made of keratin, a type of protein and sulfur. It takes approximately seven months to fully grow a fingernail, at a rate of about .05 to 1.2 millimeters a week.

The following are some of the nutritional deficiencies that can show up in the nails and a few Young Living product suggestions. Please consult your Essential Oils Reference Book and

www.oil-testimonial.com site for more ideas on balancing your health.

· White fingernails with pink coloring near the tips can be a sign of cirrhosis of the liver. If the entire nail is white it could mean kidney or liver disorders or anemia. JuvaTone, K&B

· White lines across the nail may also indicate a protein deficiency or liver disease, while white lines in a horizontal fashion may indicate heart disease, high fever or arsenic poisoning. A half white nail with dark spots on the tip could indicate a kidney disorder. JuvaTone, K&B, Pure Protein

·If the moon part of the nail area turns red, heart problems are suspect. If the moon area turns blue, then possible heavy metal poisoning or lung problems may exist. JuvaCleanse

· Cuts and cracks in nails may indicate the need for more water intake. Water with NingXia Red added

· Two white lines that do not seem to move as the nail grows indicate hypoalbuminemia which is a protein deficiency in the blood. Pure Protein Complete, Essentialzyme

· Abnormally thick nails might be due to the blood not circulating properly in the vascular system. NingXia Red, Aroma Life

· Yellow nails can mean there are problems with your liver, diabetes, respiratory disorders or problems with the lymphatic system. Core Supplements, JuvaTone, NingXia Red

· Dark nails that are flat and/or thin, or are spoon shaped, can be a sign of vitamin B(12) deficiency or anemia. Core Supplements, Super B

· Brittle nails are often a sign of iron deficiency and thyroid problems. You could also have impaired kidneys or problems with circulation. Thyromin, Endogize, Rehemogen

· Nails that are very bendable could be a sign of rheumatoid arthritis. ImmuPower, NingXia Red

· Pitted brown spots or split fingernail tips may mean you have psoriasis or that vitamin C, folic acid or protein are needed. Pure Protein, NingXia Red, Core Supplements, Super B and Super C

· Very deep blue nail beds can indicate pulmonary obstruction or emphysema. RC, NingXia Red

· Nail's that crack, peel and chip easily mean a general nutritional deficiency and insufficient hydrochloric acid production which facilitates the digestion and absorption of protein. More protein and minerals may be needed in your diet. Mineral Essence, NingXia Red, Core Supplements, Essentialzyme

· Thyroid problems can be seen in nails that are brittle, soft, shiny, without a moon, separate from the nail bed, have ridges or like a bumpy road. Thyromin, Endogize, EndoFlex

· Nails with coloring hammered brass indicate a tendency toward partial or total hair loss. NingXia Red, Endogize, Thyromin, Cedarwood and Lavender on scalp, YL shampoos & conditioners

· Flat nails can indicate Raynaud's disease. This disease affects the circulatory system, which in turn affects the limbs. It leaves hands and feet continually cold. Aroma Life, NingXia Red, Omega Blue

· Unusually wide nails that are square can mean a hormonal disorder. Endogize, Femigen, Progessence Plus

· Red skin at the very bottom of your nail bed could indicate a connective tissue disorder. BLM, Sulfurzyme, NingXia Red

· Greenish tints to nails can signify a fungal infection of the nail or a bacterial infection in the body. See fungal oils in recipe section. Additional good friendly gut bacteria - probiotics - may be indicated. Life 5

· Black splinter like bits under the nails can indicate infectious endocarditis, a serious heart infection. Inner Defense. Black bands from the cuticle outward to the end of the nail, can be an early sign of melanoma. In either case you should seek professional help immediately.

· Lack of B vitamins cause nails to become fragile, especially indicated with ridges. Lack of vitamins, minerals or protein causes hangnails. NingXia Red, Super B, Core Supplements

· Dryness and brittleness together often indicate a lack of Vitamin A and calcium. Zinc deficiencies can show up as small white spots on the nails. Iron deficiency may result in "spoon" shaped nails or vertical ridges. Core Supplements, Thyromin

· Lack of sufficient gut bacteria can contribute to nail fungal infections. Life 5, Inner Defense

Many women with not-so lovely nails often have acrylic nails glued on top of their natural nails. This is an extremely bad practice. The glues and acrylics are toxic and can penetrate into the bloodstream; the fake nails cut off oxygen to the nail making it weak and thin; and many a nail fungus had it's beginning with a manicure or pedicure. The area where the acrylic nail attaches to the natural nail bed is a breeding ground for bacteria.

For the sake of your health-let your natural nails grow out and take steps to make them strong and healthy by getting your whole body in balance. Yes, for a while you will have soft nails; keep them cut short and they will improve in a short while.

Sulfurzyme, by its very nature aids the body in ridding itself of viruses, so if you begin a regimen of Sulfurzyme and begin to feel rather puny, just reduce the amount you take and build up to 6-8 capsules per day for a healthier you. Here are a couple of simple recipes that nourish the nails.

Nail Ointment

1 jar Rose Ointment

10 drops V6 oil

4 drops geranium oil

4 drops Palo Santo

4 drops Citrus Fresh

4 drops myrrh

Scoop out Rose ointment into a stainless steel double boiler. Warm the ointment until it melts. Remove from heat and pour into glass measuring cup with a pouring spout. Add V6 oil and essential oils, swirl gently with a toothpick. Pour back into Rose ointment jar, re-label or pour into smaller jars, label and give as gifts. Using a cotton swab, apply a small amount to nail bed and massage in, twice daily.

Nail Butter

2 tbls beeswax

2 tbls cocoa butter

3 tbls jojoba oil*

1 tbls grape seed oil*

20 drops essential oils-rose, carrot, rosemary, geranium and sandalwood-4 drops each.

* In place of these two oils you can substitute 4 tbls V6 oil.

Combine beeswax, cocoa butter and jojoba oil in a saucepan and warm on low heat in a double-boiler until cocoa butter and beeswax have melted. Remove from heat and add the essential oils. Stir well, let cool slightly and pour into jars. Use a Q-tip swab or orange stick to get a small amount of the cream from the jar. Apply to nails and massage with your fingers.

Quick Nail Growth Oil

10 drops Frankincense

10 drops Lemon oil

10 drops Myrrh

Combine in a small vial or bottle. Apply with a paint brush to bare nails twice per day.

Other nail health tips:

Oils that soften cuticles: Eucalyptus & Peppermint

Oils for fungal infections: Melaleuca alternafolia, oregano, Purification, Thieves, thyme, Ravensara.

Essential Oil Emergency Bag

Here is some great information provided by Diane Mora:

YOUR YOUNG LIVING EMERGENCY BAG

by Diane Mora

Several of you have asked what Young Living products would be good to have in a bag to run out the door with if one had to leave in a hurry -- an emergency of some sort. It seems like there have been a lot of them around the world lately! Here are some ideas.

The ultimate protection against most anything is a strong, healthy immune system. Put Thieves oil on your feet every day and/or take it in internally. Take Longevity capsules. Purify your water with peppermint or lemon oil. Use a few drops of Di-Gize in your water regularly to prevent stomach upsets and take a capsule of peppermint or Di-Gize when you do have discomfort there. Also, peppermint will bring down fever naturally, help with hot flashes and cool you off on a warm summer day.

Please understand that this is a long list and it probably isn't even practical to have all of these items ready to go. Make choices for what would be most important for you and your family. These are not in any particular order.

1. Thieves blend and all the products it is in. The oil can be rubbed on the soles of the feet and also taken internally, between 5 and 15 drops in a capsule, swallowed with water. Brush your teeth with the oil or the toothpaste and rub it on the soles of the feet every day to build your immune system. All of the Thieves products are so valuable -- the essential oil blend, spray, lozenges, toothpaste, mouthwash, bar soap, Household Cleaner, Foaming Hand Soap and Waterless Hand Purifier. Use the Thieves Spray in your mouth, on unclean surfaces, in a place when people are coughing, etc.

2. Inner Defense has essential oils in a softgel. It contains Thieves, oregano, and thyme, along with others. Reach for this when you're "getting something" -- bacteria, virus or fungus -- or it's already here. Gary Young has said that when you have a serious health challenge, you should deal with it in an aggressive manner. Take up to six or eight capsules per day for several days, depending on the severity of the illness and the size of the person.

3. Peppermint for digestive upset or nausea, to cool the body, purify water, for headaches, to improve mental concentration and alertness, to deter unwanted ants, flies and other insects.

4. Trauma Life essential oil blend -- for any kind of trauma, past or present, physical or emotional.

5. Lavender oil for cuts, burns, scrapes, eczema, sunburn, insect bites, cleaning wounds, diminish headaches, stop a nosebleed, help a person relax -- and many, many more uses. We call it the Swiss army knife of the oils -- it does just about everything!

6. Purification for disinfecting our surroundings, for bug bites after you've been bitten (it neutralizes their poison) and as an insect repellent to keep them away!

7. White Angelica for protection. Can also help to dispel negative energies. Many massage therapists and other body workers apply White Angelica before working with clients.

8. Helichrysum and/or PanAway for discomfort, to reduce inflammation and bruising, to stop bleeding, and for discomfort anywhere on the body. Idaho balsam fir is also excellent for many of these same problems.

9. Frankincense - all purpose healer and antidepressant.

10. Sleep Essence softgels and Stress Away Roll-On to help you relax.

11. The Feelings Kit or some of the oils in it for emotional upliftment. Some great ones are Harmony, Present Time and Valor. I’d also have White Angelica and Trauma Life on hand.

10. AlkaLime to neutralize acid in the body. Taking AlkaLime during the day or before bedtime will help preserve the body's pH balance.

11. ImmuPower essential oil blend rubbed up the spine and on the soles of the feet.

12. Melrose, lavender, PanAway and/or helichrysum for wounds, scrapes or cuts.

13. And of course -- NingXia Red -- the most powerful antioxidant juice. Builds the immune system, gives energy, and helps with so many of the body's challenges. There's lots of information available on NingXia Red website

(www.NingXiaRed.com). Young Living sells it by the liter or in the one ounce singles. These one-ounce packs require no refrigeration and are great to grab and go, whether at work, on vacation, or in this emergency bag!

15. Wolfberry Crisp Bars and Apricot and Apple-Cinnamon Manna Bars. These are easy and delicious meal replacements.

16. Young Living's dried wolfberries - a must have! There's lots of information available on this topic!

Young Living's Power Meal is so tasty, easy to prepare and it is such a perfect food. I’ve attached my favorite recipe on the end of this! It is predigested protein, non-dairy, non-soy, and you can literally live on it. When some of my friends went through the hurricanes in Florida in 2005, one wrote to me and said that while everyone else was panicking because they couldn't cook, she was happy and healthy with her Power Meal, Wolfberry Crisp Bars, NingXia Red and dried wolfberries.

To survive whatever nature may have in store for us, we just need to have a strong, healthy immune system and many of the oils and oil-infused supplements provided by Young Living.

Remember -- the best time to get healthy was many years ago. The second best time is right now!

Hugs,

Diane

Power Meal was formulated in 1997, and ever since then, I’ve been using this recipe with some modifications from time to time. I often add Pure Protein Complete (delicious!), but both are great with just water so you can actually use either or both. This is my favorite way to make it --

+ Put about 10 - 12 oz. cold water in large electric blender or VitaMix. I don't measure -- if it needs more water, add more

+ 1 or 2 scoops of Power Meal

+ 1 or 2 scoops Pure Protein Complete

+ 2-3 Tbsp. flax seeds, freshly ground each time you make this drink**

+ Blend and then add enough ice cubes to achieve desired thickness. You can make is really thick like a milk shake or not so thick –- your choice.

+ Add some Grade B maple syrup or agave to taste - optional.

+ Add at the very last, some fresh, raw sunflower seeds, unsalted, unroasted. I use a small handful.

Directions: Blend all except the sunflower seeds. Add ice cubes or water or whatever you wish to make it the way you want it -- thinner or thicker. At the very end, I add the sunflower seeds and blend for just for a couple of seconds -- leaving them crunchy.

When I do this recipe, I make probably three 8-ounce glasses. You can drink this for several hours, and you won't be hungry for a long time! Power Meal is some of the finest nutrition you'll find anywhere. It contains no dairy and no soy, and you can literally live on it!

**I have a small coffee grinder and I grind about two or three tablespoons of flax seeds every time I make this shake. It just takes seconds and you know it's fresh!

It would be your option to add other things – even essential oils! I'm thinking orange - Citrus Fresh - Christmas Spirit - tangerine ?? Not all at once, but it'd be fun to experiment with these individually. Remember -- every time we ingest oils, we're getting more oxygen! Enjoy!

Many hugs,

Diane
