This Is What One Drink Of Soda Does To Your Body

Natural Blaze | Nov 23, 2014 | Joe Martino

Coke is the most valuable brand in history, and “Coca-Cola” is the world’s second-most recognized word after “hello.” However, the beverage itself is like a poison to the human metabolism. Coke is very acidic, it’s only one point higher on the pH scale than battery acid. Consequently it can clean surfaces equivalent to and often better than many toxic household cleaners.

It’s cheaper and easier to buy Coke in some third world countries than it is to access clean water.

Coke uses “public relations propaganda” to convince consumers and entire nations that it is an “environmental company” when really it is linked to pollution, water shortages, and disease.


People who consume soft drinks such as Coke have a 48% increase in heart attack and stroke risk, compared to people who did not drink the sodas at all or did not drink them every day. A study published in the journal Respirology reveals that soft drink consumption is also associated with lung and breathing disorders including asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).

On top of all of this, here is what coke does to the human body after you drink it.

The chemical that should be listed on this image is Bisphenol A, as there are two phenol groups in this chemical.

What Happened When I Refused My Tetanus Vaccine

What Happened When I Refused My Tetanus Vaccine
July 27, 2013 | Collective Evolution | Joe Martino

I wanted to share my story about what happened when I refused my tetanus vaccine after having cut myself with a knife at home. I want to share this story not as an example of what will or will not happen every time, but more so as an example of how it’s important we stay open minded and question things before we blindly accept them.

I got into studying vaccines, their efficacy and safety a few years ago when I began to hear more and more about people being injured by vaccines. There is an unfortunate belief going around that vaccines are completely safe and scientific studies have proven this to be the case. I’m here to say, this is not true. Regardless of the fact there are studies to show efficacy and safety, there are also a large number of studies showing the dangers and lack of efficacy when it comes to vaccines. Simply search the web, published journals, study’s, books, documentaries and stories of doctors who have spoken out about this to get more information. Be careful with your sources on both sides of the argument. The existence of the argument itself shows that there is a clear case to be made when it comes to having to re-think vaccines. At this point, to continue to make uneducated decisions about vaccines has become an irresponsible choice given the amount of information now available. I’m not telling you what choice to make, but educate yourself of the dangers on both sides.

My Story
 

I was cutting a sweet potato one evening when I looked down and realized I had somehow sliced a decent portion of the tip of my pinky finger. I still don’t know how this happened, but it did. Immediately I knew I either needed stitches or glue to have it heal properly. I looked more closely at my finger and confirmed my initial thoughts. After applying some hydrogen peroxide, I hopped in the car with my girlfriend and we made our way to the hospital.

Upon arriving we went through the normal procedure in the emergency room; papers, name, health card etc. From there I went to the treatment room where I waited for a doctor for about 30 minutes. A young doctor shows up to the bed I was sitting on and introduced himself. He seemed friendly, nice, outgoing and willing to help. He looked at my wound, assessed the situation, heard my opinion of treatment and agreed. Glue it was. He then asked me if I had received a Tetanus shot in the past few years. Given I was 26, I was due to receive my next immunization, since I hadn’t received the shot he told me we would do that at the same time. I told him I would think about it. Of course, this was a bit of a stall tactic as I had no intention of getting the vaccine since I walked in the hospital. He pressed on. “You should really get the vaccine as if you aren’t up to date this could be fatal.” I then decided to ask him what the ingredients of the vaccine were. He was a tad confused and was not sure how to answer. He ended up saying it was crushed up bits of the bacteria (not live) and it would protect against allowing the bacteria to become toxic in my body if it were present. In theory he was correct. I then asked, “Does the vaccine contain thimerosal?” He looked at me and responded “I have no idea what that is.” I then let him know that it was a ethylmercury and has been shown to cause neurological damage. This is where things changed.

He chuckled  to himself almost as if to suggest I was believing in some conspiracy theory. “Most of what you hear about vaccines is not true. There are only a couple vaccines that have had bad effects on people.” he said. It’s important to note that up until this point and for the remainder of my visit I was as kind, peaceful and nice as anyone could be in speaking with another person. I said “I’m open to some of it being overstated, but I have also researched results myself so I come asking questions because of what I have found in my research.” He responded in a condescending and angry manner “Well I don’t have an information kit with me here and I don’t think these vaccines are unsafe, but the choice is still yours.” We didn’t speak more about it for the next minute or so. He filled out some paperwork and then asked again if I was going to get the shot. I told him no. He then said “Well I leave it up to you, you can let the nurse know but it’s basically you get this or you die in 3 days. Tetanus can be fatal and so it’s your choice.” He was also laughing and annoyed at this point because he could not believe I was questioning and challenging his authority. I kept with my decision of opting out of the vaccine and he simply walked away. There was no “bye”, no “have a nice night”, no chance for me to thank him, nothing. He simply turned around and walked away as if he was not happy with me at all.

When the nurse came over she asked me about the shot. When I refused she ran me through a quick explanation of how it was not the best choice and that I should get the vaccine in the next 3 days or else I could die. After I left the hospital I reflected on the entire experience and realized that it might be important to share this story as there are some interesting things to observe.

Question & Do Research
 

I don’t want to generalize, but this is not the first case I have heard, by any means, of doctors getting offended when their authority is challenged by patients. In my case, there was a clear attempt to make me fear my own death should I not follow his arrogantly delivered orders. It was very clear that me challenging him made him feel more equal to me which made him become very unpleasant and  irresponsible as a doctor. One thing we all have to remember is that every person on this planet is a human being and each of us are equal. We should never look to anyone as an authority on any matter but instead take what they have given as information from their experiences and use it to formulate our own feelings and information without blindly following it. I feel this is especially the case in the medical field as people journeying through medical training are subject to a great deal of bias that comes from teachings formulated on belief. So often, as new information comes into the medical arena, it is not updated and added to what is known presently unless there is some way to profit from the information being added to the equation. We can see this through many sectors of the medical field as pharmaceuticals is ultimately what controls the natural flow of new discoveries. If something cannot be produced and sold, it is likely that it will never see the light of day.

Where students get their medical education has a direct link to the benefits of the pharmaceutical industry as they help fund and pay for much of what schools require to operate labs, equipment etc. In exchange, those companies ask them to focus on pharmaceutical drugs and certain areas of teaching and often times textbooks are even linked to large pharmaceutical companies. We can most obviously see this happening through the cancer industry as obviously there are a number of available cures yet people are coming out of med school only focusing on mainstream chemo and radiation which have low success rates and are sometimes very lethal to the human body.

I don’t intend to encourage people to never trust a doctor. Instead I encourage you to do your research before making decisions that involved vaccines and other pharmaceuticals. A doctor rarely ever tells you the damages associated with vaccines regardless of the $2.5 billion in injury awards that has been paid out to victims of vaccine injury. Doctors are doing their jobs much of the time so you can’t always blame them. But at the same time they should be encouraged to think for themselves as well.

In my research over the years I have come across an alarming number of facts, experience and practices that make it evidently clear the mainstream medical field is not about cures and health but more so about profit and the need to create perpetual customers. I am not saying doctors have an agenda, more so that their education does and they don’t always recognize that until they begin to question it themselves. Unfortunately this usually leads to them being smeared and called a ‘quack’ for their courage to start thinking differently.

Make smart and educated decisions, not decisions based around fear. This is very important whether you are choosing mainstream or alternative medicine.

Tetanus Vaccine Facts 

Ingredients:
sodium phosphate, peptone, bovine extract (U.S. sourced), formaldehyde,
ammonium sulfate, , aluminum potassium sulfate, thimerosal (trace),
gelatin, polysorbate 80 (Tween 80), modified Mueller and Miller medium,
modified Stainer-Scholte medium

Thimerosal has been linked the permanent brain damage even in small doses.

Tetanus has shown a fatality of about 10% in reported cases. Although this number is considered high, if you remember from my story, I was told I was going to die in 3 days had I not taken the vaccine. While I knew he was most likely using fear tactics, many people would have simply opted in at this point.

Scientists Baffled as Report Proves Global Warming Has Stopped

Scientists Baffled as Report Proves Global Warming Has Stopped
Apr 15, 2013 | Collective-Evolution | Joe Martino

In a report released by Spiegel science journal, the admission that the world has been waiting for for a long time is now here: Global Warming has stopped! Spiegel journalist Axel Bojanowski writes “The word has been out for quite some time now that the climate is developing differently than predicted earlier”. He poses the question: “How many more years of stagnation are needed before scientists rethink their predictions of future warming?”

“15 years without warming are now behind us. The stagnation of global near-surface average temperatures shows that the uncertainties in the climate prognoses are surprisingly large. The public is now waiting with suspense to see if the next UN IPCC report, due in September, is going to discuss the warming stop.” Axel Bojanowski

To some, this admission is stunning, but to others it’s a sigh of relief that brings hope to the fact that maybe our world is changing so much so that the same old lies that had been exposed over the past 10 years, are now being admitted to. It is going to be quite interesting to see how the governments and IPCC attempt to explain this one to the public, if they do at all.

What some of us may not know is most of what we were always told about global warming and global temperatures by the IPCC and the media were based on computer models that were not accurate in relation to actual temperatures, yet they continue to report these short-term trends as being correct. In a key 2007 report, the UN Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change suggested it was likely we would see a temperature increase of 3C, with 4.5C considered ‘likely’. However, recent research shows the true figure is much lower – between 1.5C and 2C.

For scientists, they are now left to continue to speculate why the warming has stopped. While some have made mention of the natural cycles that have been occurring observably over the past half a million years which explain the warming and cooling perfectly, it appears they will continue to ignore the data. You can read more about this here.

While some scientists are speculating that the oceans are holding the heat and hiding it somewhere, it is important to note that there have been no further signs of ocean warming since 2003. Although NASA has stated they have picked up ocean warming they have also stated “The uncertainties with the data are too great. We need to improve our measurements.” Spiegel also reports on some other possibilities including that ocean heat storage may be happening very deep within the oceans. But Doug Smith of the Met Office quotes: “This is very difficult to confirm“. Further, Jochem Marotzke of the Max Planck Institute for Meteorology (MPI) states “Without intensifying the data measurement network, we are going to have to wait a long time for any proof“.

Some scientists have also made mention of the fact that there exists a possibility the stratosphere may have something to do with the global temperature ‘freeze’. According to Susan Solomon; ”The stratosphere has gotten considerably drier, and so warming at the surface may have been reduced by a quarter.” If that isn’t enough Marotzke says,  ”However, climate models do not illustrate stratospheric water vapour very well, the prognoses thus remain vague.”

The truth is, most of what scientists are bringing forth at this time as a possibility have all been addressed in a book written a year ago by a couple of scientists named Fritz Vahenholt and Dr. Sebastian Luning. After the release of the book one year ago, the media tore it apart claiming their theories were crude. It is interesting to see, now that this admission has been released, that their theories were all sound. Moreover, Lüning”s and Vahrenholt’s temperature model for the next 100 years so far has been dead on.

Quite possibly one of the most fascinating remarks Bojanowski makes in his article is “The numerous possible explanations do show just how imprecisely climate is understood.” A man by the name of Al Gore won a Nobel Peace Prize for his work in an ‘Inconvenient Truth.’ Regardless of the fact that hundreds of scientists had the guts to prove him wrong at the time, he still was crowned king due to media manipulation. Now we have this most recent piece of information confirming what many have been saying was obvious over the past 10 years, will the media and government still be able to pull their old tricks?

As an individual who has been heavily investigating global warming for the past 5 years, I have to say that sometimes common sense has to be taken into consideration when we look at things that have a lot of science around them. While it seems paradoxal, it’s very easy for the lure of prestigious scientific claims to overrule what is obvious and in front of us. Yes, science is meant to observe our reality and produce constantly updating theories. However, this is not what happens these days. Money, pride, control, power and manipulation overshadow the true purpose and potential of science.
