Why the BolenReport Has a Cancer Report – You need to know this….

Note from Tim Bolen – I have been a huge critic of the mainstream Cancer treatment establishment for a very long time.  President Richard Nixon funded the “War on Cancer” in 1972, challenging mainstream to solve the cancer problem.  They promised to do that within eighteen months if given enough money.  In forty four years they have made ZERO progress.  American have found that there are alternatives to mainstream that work very well, are cheaper, and you, and/or your loved ones get to live.  And, you get to travel…

Cancer Report:  June 2016

by Frank Cousineau – President, Cancer Control Society

As a reader of the Bolen Report for many years, it is a great honor and pleasure to contribute a cancer report.  Our goal is to provide timely information about the most effective ways to treat cancer.

We will review treatment protocols, treatment centers and additional topics In support of cancer patients.  We will also provide details about conferences, expos and meetings where you (and your doctor) can learn the latest, most up-to-date information as to the best ways to treat cancer.  We intend to balance our reports between certain factual information and opinion based on observation and experience.

The primary focus will be Alternative and Integrative approaches because…

What Did President Reagan Think About “Vaccine Court?”

by Kent Heckenlively JD

It’s always been a mystery to me how President Reagan, generally known for his suspicion of unchecked governmental power, could have signed the National Childhood Vaccine Injury Act of 1986, which established the so-called “Vaccine Court.”  To the parents of many children with autism, this legislation is the direct cause of the autism epidemic.

While researching my new book, INOCULATED: How Science Lost Its Soul in Autism, I came across the answer in the pages of the New York Times.  (Full disclosure – In my younger days I was a “Youth Delegate for Reagan” to the 1984 Republican Convention in Dallas.  Forgive me.  I was young and foolish.)  In an article by Robert Pear, which was published on November 15, 1986, in the New York Times entitled, “Reagan Signs Bill on Drug Exports and Payment for Vaccine Injuries,” (and easily accessible through a simple Google search), Reagan laid out his thoughts.

Public Law 96-517 – The Most Important Law You Never Heard About. What it Does, and Why Things Need to Change…

By Peter McCarthy ND – Chairman Texas Health Freedom Coalition

 

If you pay regular attention to virtually any media organization in this country, from time to time (very infrequently!) you may encounter an obscure story about how the influence of money has negatively impacted the quality of scientific research in virtually every field of science.

Those of us who are chronologically advantaged (read that: old!) can remember when that was not the case.  In the 1970s and before, much scientific research was conducted in government laboratories.  Perhaps more important, regardless of where government-funded research was conducted, none of the researchers or their organizations could profit from the results of that research.

All that changed on December 12, 1980 with the passage of Public Law (P.L.) 96-517.  Officially titled the Patent and Trademark Law Amendments Act, it became better known as the Bayh-Dole Act, after its co-authors, then-Senators Birch Bayh (D-IN) and Bob Dole (R-KS).

MANLY ADVICE FOR MY CALIFORNIA ANTI-VAXXER FRIENDS…

 jd

Ok, some of you were put-off by the “anti-vaxxer” moniker in my last article. Some suggested you’re all health freedom fighters.  I’m not willing to bestow that laudatory title until I see a more cohesive, rational and convincing case made, though I’m sure I am a minority of one on this in the health freedom community.

How about the designator “vaccine-concerned” or “VC” for short? It’s neutral, accurately descriptive, and this is my post.  From now on, I am going to refer to you as “vaccine-concerned” or “VC.” I mean to include both ends of the VC spectrum, and here are the ends of the spectrum as I see it.

For sure, you are not together.

At one end are those who want vaccination criminalized because it harms everyone who is vaccinated. It includes people who deny that vaccines have had any benefit to mankind, and that it’s all a pharma scheme to suck money from the masses. It also includes the personal freedom people who think the government has no right to force anyone to get any vaccine or impose any consequences on the unvaccinated, regardless of the perceived consequences that the ignorant majority and conventional scientists think will be caused by the unvaccinated.

At the other end of the spectrum are the folks who are concerned that there might be too many vaccines for kids right now, who accept some preservative-free vaccines for some serious diseases, unless there are sound medical contraindications. It also includes those who will compromise their personal freedom to get inoculations before traveling to some foreign countries where diseases survive which have been long extinct in this country. This end of the spectrum also includes those who understand that the VC, who have strongly-held and metaphysically true beliefs, have to acknowledge and work within the system in which they currently represent a minority view. Indeed, these folks even understand that their views are considered by the mainstream to be anti-science and fringe. (See the just published article in the New Yorker entitled “The Mistrust of Science” by mainstream surgeon, author (and medical establishment tool), Atul Gawande.

TO MY CALIFORNIA ANTI-VAXXER FRIENDS: HERE’S SOME PROBABLY UNWANTED BUT POSSIBLY USEFUL ADVICE…

BY RICHARD JAFFEE JD

So in California come July 1st, there will no vaccine exemptions based on personal belief. However, there still will be a medical exemption, such as it is.

My understanding is that pediatrics/public health recognizes some contraindications for specific vaccines, but very, very few (if any) contraindications for not giving a child any vaccine anytime.  I’ve heard that at least one prominent CAM healthcare attorney is advising his California CAM physician clients not to write medical exemption letters for parents who have a fear of or personal belief against vaccination. That might be prudent advice, and certainly no lawyer will get into trouble for giving it.  Obviously, this is all very bad news for anti-vaxers.

You are not going to like this, but…

I will probably weigh-in on what I think are the medically supported justifications for the exemption another time and another forum.  For now, I’d like to talk to my anti-vaxer friends and colleagues, including those who for tactical/PR reasons characterize their views as in support of “informed consent” about the “dangers of vaccination”. You’re not going to like it, but to paraphrase Ziggy Martin in “Drive,” who’s gonna tell you when you’re too late and aren’t so great   In terms of where we are and the constitutional arguments being tossed around, well, you’re too late, wrong, and less lyrically, the imprecise hyperbolic language is not helping you focus on what may be realistically achievable.

First, the inaccurate hyperbole: California anti-vaxers claim that their kids and child care professionals are being forced by the government to be vaccinated.  Not true.  I’m from Texas, and in Texas we know what forced vaccination looks like. A couple years ago, the Texas legislature tried to force all young girls to get the HPV vaccine. The measure ultimately failed because of the public outcry against forced vaccination. California is not forcing anyone to get vaccinated. Rather, it imposes consequences (albeit draconian) for the unvaccinated; for kids, no public or private school; for adults, you can’t teach kids or be a child caregiver. That’s a big difference constitutionally and legally in general.  But in addition, by mis-framing the issue, you may be missing some realistic partial, medium-term solutions, as I’ll explain in a moment. Continue reading TO MY CALIFORNIA ANTI-VAXXER FRIENDS: HERE’S SOME PROBABLY UNWANTED BUT POSSIBLY USEFUL ADVICE…

Why Do We Need Vaccines?

by Hildegard von Bingen

It had to happen sooner or later.  BolenReport Authors and articles are first rate, so, of course we attracted an official Roman Catholic Church Saint to write for us…

 

Let us consider the picture: Disease is something that happens that nobody likes.  It can be very dangerous.  Every year, untold lives are ended prematurely and unpleasantly because of disease.

What can be done to prevent disease is a question pondered by people of medicine since time began.

No one likes to get sick, no parent likes to see their child suffer, diseases can be dangerous—and, with the vaccine, science today claims to have found an approach that fulfills its expressed purpose.  Because of what they tell us, the public has grown to not question the holy sacrament of vaccination.  Indeed, neither have the scientists, who are currently working on hundreds more vaccines intended to be “fast tracked” upon the public (1).  Vaccines are credited with the eradication of many diseases.  But let’s take a closer look at what has actually happened.  What do the facts really tell us?  What have we not been told?

Are Vaccines Necessary?  

Injecting foreign proteins into the human body is a medical intervention.  We know that medical error constitutes the third leading cause of death in the United States. (2) With the convenience of the internet and readily available information, word is getting out. Medical science doesn’t have all the answers. Continue reading Why Do We Need Vaccines?

Millions of California Children, Immunocompromised; Put at Risk by the California State Legislature’s Compulsory Vaccine Schedule

Opinion by Karri Lewis

Under the guise of protecting the immunocompromised, last year the California State Legislature passed senate bill 277 and senate bill 792.

Senate bill 277 took away people’s informed consent rights by eliminating the personal and religious belief exemptions for the vaccines required for a public and private education.

http://www.nvic.org/nvic-vaccine-news/august-2015/sb277-fallout-what-happens-next.aspx

Senate bill 792, also targeted adults, which includes; preschool teachers, day care workers and parent volunteers, for removal of informed consent rights, in regards to compulsory vaccination.

http://parentsrightscalifornia.weebly.com/ca-sb-792-forced-adult-vaccines.html

The MOST ABHORRENT  part of this whole usurping of parental AND adult rights, was the claim that the immunocompromised, need UNRELIABLE, UNSCIENTIFICALLY-PROVEN Vaccine-Induced HERD IMMUNITY for their protection.

'Herd Immunity': the misplaced driver of universal vaccination

What’s REALLY going On In The Autism/Vaccine World…

 

By Kent Heckenlively, JD

People make choices – what they will see and what will remain invisible to them.  Like the character, Neo, played by Keeanu Reeves in The Matrix, we are often given the choice to take the blue pill or the red pill.  The blue pill allows you to remain in your safe little world.  Taking the red pill, well, that opens a Pandora’s Box.

For me, that moment came when my normally developing eighteen-month-old son, Ben, went mute after his vaccinations.   His sister, Jacqueline already had autism and seizures, which we later linked to her six-month round of shots.  With her, we didn’t know.  With Ben, it was absolutely clear what had happened.  Ben was my red pill.  After putting him on the gluten/casein free diet he came back to us.  My daughter is still very severely impaired.  Because of my children, I became a warrior.

In 2009 I stumbled across an interview Dr. Judy Mikovits had given in a television show in Nevada called Nevada Newsmakers.  Mikovits was talking about the publication of her article in the journal Science which showed that a recently discovered retrovirus, XMRV (xenotropic murine leukemia virus related virus) had been found in 67% of chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS) patients and at 3.75% in healthy patients.

Then she started talking about a potential link to autism, as they had done some early research into the question.

And the door was being opened… Continue reading PLAGUE – The Best Science Book You Haven’t Read!

What did they know and When did they know it? Mercury, Vaccines and Autism

KP Stoller, MD   www.incurable-me.com

A decade before the US Public Health Service (PHS) and the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) made a joint public statement vowing to remove the mercury preservative Thimerosal from vaccines (circa 1999), I was trying to find the science behind the recommendation to give newborns the Hep B vaccine (more about that later).

The interesting thing about that unprecedented  declaration by the PHS and the AAP was that there was no public pressure to make that announcement.

There were no protests, letter writing campaigns, distraught mothers of autistic children camping out at AAP headquarters….so, what precipitated this announcement, as shown below,  From Pediatrics  Sep 1999:

elistone05a
This Eli Stone graphic is from the TV series where its pilot episode was a direct attack on the use of mercury in vaccines.

“….because any potential risk is of concern, the US Public Health Service (USPHS), the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP), and vaccine manufacturers agree that thimerosal-containing vaccines should be removed as soon as possible. “

Don’t Drink the Water and Don’t Breathe the Air

Hey New York City… Whatza matter you?

You are allowing your city to be sprayed with  pesticides to kill mosquitoes cause they carry a virus that has never been proven to be the cause of microcephaly in Brazil?

You know what is going to happen?225965_1670297484427_1447061602_31259751_1441755_s

Cases of microcephaly are going to happen and health authorities will say, “See… Zika is in New York and Zika causes microcephaly.” Then they will spray you more and there will be even more microcephaly.

Two larvicides, Altosid and Bacillus thuringiensis israelensis (BTI), are being sprayed in NYC to kill mosquitoes suspected of carrying the Zika virus, which the CDC has confirmed (without evidence) causes microcephaly. 

This is just NUTS! Continue reading Don’t Drink the Water and Don’t Breathe the Air

Board Subpoenas , YES (usually); De Facto Search Warrants, NO

Note from Tim Bolen –  A good many of  our readers are from the “patient” side of the medical/healthcare equation.  But, for instance, there are those of us that have spent our careers on both sides of that practitioner/patient situation.  Health Professionals that can deal, successfully, with problems like Autism (Vaccine Damage), need a much higher level of protection – because the medical/health system frowns on cutting-edge innovation in health care.  My friend attorney Rick Jaffe has dealt with those challenges, successfully, for years.  

So, I am going to give all of you a glimpse of what goes on, legally, behind the scenes, to protect cutting edge practitioners, with some articles that would normally just go out to those hundred thousand or so of cutting-edge practitioners.

 I think you will find it all very interesting…

Texas Medical Board (TMB) personnel face damage claim for illegally trying to search and seize medical records.

by Richard Jaffe JD
In the late 1980s, my New York law firm did some work for Robert Atkins involving the New York medical board, (aka the Office of Professional Medical Conduct). The board wanted the records of a number of his ozone therapy patients. The patients didn’t want their records released, so Bob Atkins hired our firm to try to quash the subpoena.

We made precedent, but not in a good way. The New York appellate court ruled against us and held that the board has a right to medical records, even over the objection of the patient.  In virtually every state, with some variations, a medical board can obtain patient medical records in the absence of patient consent and despite HIPAA. (The one exception is California where if the patient doesn’t want his or her records released, the medical board has to go to court to convince a judge that there is good cause for releasing the records.  I am doing one of those cases right now.)

How this usually shakes out is that a physician receives a letter from the board about a complaint and asks for medical records. The letter will also usually include a subpoena and a business records affidavit form so that the medical records can be admissible in an administrative proceeding. The board’s letter usually gives the physician a few weeks to respond and turn-over the records.

Not too long ago, the Texas Medical Board tried something different for a doctor who they suspected might be operating an unregistered pain management clinic. A medical board investigator along with a DEA agent showed-up at a physician’s office and demanded access to certain medical records on the spot using presenting an instant subpoena (subpoena instantar).

The MMR & the CDC

KP Stoller, MD   www.incurable-me.com

 

I frequently get asked if I think there will be a Congressional Hearing so that the CDC whistle-blower, William Thompson, PhD, can give his testimony under oath.

If that happened, what kind of testimony would he give?

This is what he actually said in the recent documentary “Vaxxed”:

Thompson: “They (the CDC) don’t really want people to know that this data exists.”

Thompson: “…among the blacks, the ones that were getting vaccinated earlier, were more likely to have autism.” Continue reading The MMR & the CDC

CDC – Stop lying about what you have already admitted

 

Poling: “I think you bring up a really important point. The government, actually the Dept. of Health and Human Services, conceded that my daughter’s medical problems, which are autism encephalopathy, seizures, were brought on by vaccination.”

KP Stoller, MD   www.incurable-me.com

I am not a lawyer, but it helps to know a few good ones, especially one as knowledgeable as Jim Moody. His take on the CDC is that it is pointless to get them to admit to what they have already, in fact, “conceded” that vaccines cause autism.

Over and over again they have conceded vaccines cause autism, and they have further conceded that research on vaccine safety is inadequate. Having said that, Mr. Moody points out that it is the lies and pseudo-science that the CDC pumps out that just keeps getting louder and louder to drown out what they will quietly concede behind closed doors or in stealthy conferences.

While most of the public is unaware is something called the “Vaccine Court,” beginning in 1990 they have paid reparations for children that could prove vaccines caused their autism and the sum has totaled hundreds of millions of dollars. Some of these more recent cases have made the national news, such as the case of Hannah Polling.

Are You Talking to Me? Cause the CDC heard you

K Paul Stoller, MD   www.incurable-me.com

 

Well, it finally happened. The CDC screwed with the wrong person. Pressuring Robert De Niro to pull the plug on the documentary Vaxxed at the Tribeca film festival caused him to go into a rant on the Today show where he stated he believes there may be a link between vaccines and autism.

Click on the graphic to watch the interview

There are many “astro-turfed” (faux negative) reviews of Vaxxed, but perhaps one of the best comments was by the physician who discovered the HIV virus, Prof. Luc Montagnier:  “Respect scientific truth is the basis of the credibility of the institutions responsible for public health. If they fail in this respect they are seriously exposed to a loss of confidence from the public. The CDC seem to have falsified the results of their own studies that showed a correlation between the occurrence of autism and MMR vaccination (MMR in English) in young African-American children. This falsification, revealed by one of its authors, support the conclusion that the lack of correlation, which has helped to keep vaccinations without changing the conditions. Besides the damage to young victims, this case amplifies the fear of vaccinations in the audience, thus ruining the disease prevention policies. This is what describes the film of Andrew Wakefield, medical researcher and whistleblower with courage and lucidity.”

Rearranging the Deck Chairs at the CDC


By K Paul Stoller, MD www.incurable-me.com

Many of you have heard that the documentary about the Center for Disease Control (CDC) Whistle-blower, who revealed the CDC had fraudulently covered-up the link between the MMR and autism (especially if you are a child of color) was pulled from the Tribeca film festival due to undue pressure on Robert De Niro.

What many of you may not know is that the CDC pays throngs of people to stick it to others that are working against what they perceive as their best interests and the interest of their masters (vaccine manufactures). Continue reading Rearranging the Deck Chairs at the CDC

Ebola Toolkit… What do we need in our US homes to defeat Ebola?  Why?  Because  it looks like we are going to have to fight this one ourselves, with no help, and, in fact, hindrance, from our own US health care system…

Opinion by Consumer Advocate  Tim Bolen 

I was reading stories on the Doctors Without Borders/Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF)  website early this morning, about what is happening in Liberia and Sierra Leone, in the US CDC directed supposed “Stop the Ebola” project.

It was there that I found that virtually NOTHING is being done for patients to try to stop the Ebola within individual patients.  All they are doing is isolating patients behind what looks like construction fencing (see photo below left), where they can be watched dying.  With that, we can assume that an Ebola outbreak in the US would be treated exactly the same way.  Continue reading Ebola Toolkit… What do we need in our US homes to defeat Ebola?  Why?  Because  it looks like we are going to have to fight this one ourselves, with no help, and, in fact, hindrance, from our own US health care system…

What Russian Media Says About Ebola… They say it is “Made in America…

Note from Tim Bolen:  When I was a kid our teachers used to tell us that all Russians had was “controlled media,” and all the Russians got to read was propaganda put out by their government.  We, in the US, started something called “Radio Free Europe,” so we could tell the Russian people what was really going on in the world.

These days, it is America that has the “controlled media,”  so why not see what the Russians, who have now thrown off communism, say about what’s going on in the US?

There are two BIG Russian media – Pravda and Russian TV (RT).  So let’s, first, look at Pravda’s take on Ebola…

Just below you can find way much more information about Ebola and its precursors that you will EVER find in US Mainstream Media.  From the article:

“Ebola: Manufactured disease by U.S. Federal Government – By Lord Howard Hurts 

Louis Farrakhan, the leader of the Nation if Islam wrote this a few days ago, “Another method is disease infection through bio-weapons such as Ebola and AIDS, which are race targeting weapons. There is a weapon that can be put in a room where there are Black and White people, and it will kill only the Black and spare the White, because it is a genotype weapon that is designed for your genes, for your race, for your kind.” In essence Mr. Farrakhan said that the U.S. Federal Government is behind the Ebola virus outbreak. Mr. Farrakhan is incorrect, as his usual, in many respects dealing with the issue of the Ebola virus, but he is correct about Ebola being a ‘manufactured’ disease by the U.S. Federal Government. Here is the true story about the Ebola virus.  Continue reading What Russian Media Says About Ebola… They say it is “Made in America…

Note from Tim Bolen:  Big Pharma would have us all believe, through their stranglehold on US media, that the drugs, vaccines, drugs, vaccines, drugs, and more drugs and vaccines approach is ALL there is in the world.  But the fact is, there are MANY other approaches to health care on planet earth.  Ayurvedic Medicine, for instance, has been around for over three thousand years, so read THIS interesting approach to dealing with Ebola…

The news about Ebola and its possible fatal end is everywhere in the news – created by many hypochondriacs.  The virus is deadly and spreads only by contact with body fluids.  Once the person gets the infection, their life hangs on a thin thread.  Mortality from the infection is as high as 50% – 60%.   Another deadly disease that kills about 35,000 people in the east, mostly young, is rabies, which is 100% fatal compared to 40-60% mortality by Ebola virus infection. Ebola will be and is curable, but not rabies. Continue reading Stopping Ebola – The Ayurvedic Approach… Water With Life – How To Cure and/or Curtail Ebola Virus Infection…

Ebo-Lie…  Here’s What I Think…

by: Kenneth P Stoller, MD, FACHM

 

With so much misinformation floating around about the latest viral scare, it is hard to know what is real and what isn’t.

Tim Bolen asked me to write this post after I posed a question to him… “When is a Federal agency, such as the CDC, no longer protected by the immunities a Federal agency normally has because they are engaged in activities that are not consistent with their own regulations and procedures?” 

The CDC is responsible for vaccine safety and yet they own patents on, for example, the Ebola virus and could potentially profit from an Ebola vaccine – a vaccine that would not be needed if the virus doesn’t spread far and wide. Yet if the CDC helps control the spread of the virus they would be working against their own financial interest. Continue reading Ebo-Lie…  Here’s What I Think…
