NATURAL CANCER CURE 
In 1979 a special report was issued by the U.S. Surgeon General, citing more than 2,000 scientific studies from around the world, and compiled with the advice of more than 2,000 doctors, nutritionist and biochemists, who concluded that the normal American diet is dangerous.
Researchers at the University of Victoria in British Columbia did a careful follow up on 200 persons who underwent a "spontaneous remission of cancer". They found that 87% of those persons had switched diets, usually to a vegetarian diet.
Recently a link between excessive meat eating and cancer has been explained by Dr. Williard J. Visek a research scientist at Cornell University. The problem, according to Dr. Visek, is ammonia the carcinogenic by-product of meat digestion.  
There is no one drug, herb, or treatment that will kill cancer. Cancer has to be treated by building the body’s immune system. 
ELIMINATE SUGAR AND JUNK FOODS

ELIMINATE HIGH FAT DIET

EAT A TOTALLY RAW DIET

This is or will be the hardest single thing to follow, but it is very important. Only raw fruits, vegetables, nuts and sprouted grains are what you will be eating until your cancer is in remission. Nothing cooked, no cooked beans, bread, potatoes, etc.

DO NOT EAT BETWEEN MEALS

DRINK ONE TO THREE GLASSES OF CARROT JUICE DAILY


Red Deer Advocate

Council seeks advice on fluoride plebiscite

Fluoridation of Red Deer’s public water supply is mandated by a plebiscite that was held in the 1950s.

The water treatment plant is legally required to continue this practice. 

Council learned that they are allowed by law to overturn a plebiscite if it is more than 10 years old. 

Councillor Tara Veer said adding fluoride into Red Deer’s water supply costs about $60,000 annually. She wondered if Red Deer’s fluoride levels, which stand at 0.8 mg per litre, should be reduced to Health Canada’s level of 0.7.

Wikipedia
Ingested fluoride initially acts locally on the intestinal mucosa, where it forms hydrofluoric acid in the stomach.[7] Thereafter it binds calcium and interferes with various enzymes.[7]
Currently, in advanced countries most cases of fluoride exposure are due to the ingestion of dental fluoride products. Although exposure to these product does not often cause toxicity; in one study 30% of children exposed to fluoride dental products developed mild symptoms.
RE-EXAMINATION OF ACUTE TOXICITY OF FLUORIDE
http://www.fluoride-journal.co...
Excessive intake of fluoride has been re-examined recently in the USA1 and Canada.2 The World Health Organisation has warned of an unexpected increase in the incidence of dental fluorosis, a form of a chronic fluoride toxication, and recommended procedures to prevent excess fluoride intake.3
At least seven events of acute fluoride poisoning that are related to the fluoridation of drinking water have formally been reported in the USA, where the fluoride concentration in the water systems has been adjusted to prevent dental caries. Table 5 lists the date, place, number of persons involved and their age, water source, cause, the highest fluoride concentration, an estimated dose of fluoride (mg/kg), references and remarks concerning acute fluoride poisoning in the above events, which caused two deaths and 655 cases of fluoride intoxication.

Among these occurrences, the estimated toxic dose was lowest in the 1978 event in New Mexico, which involved children in kindergarten and nursery school with the total amount of fluoride per child of 1.4 to 90 mg, which is calculated to be approximately 0.1 mgF/kg in subjects with a body weight of 15 kg. The estimated minimum toxic doses of fluoride involved 0.21, 0.3, 0.34, 0.5, and 0.8 mg/kg in the other events of acute fluoride poisoning in the list, which are much lower than those reported before. Pediatricians warned of possible poisoning from mouth rinsing with aqueous solutions containing 500 to 2000 ppm sodium fluoride.

Thienes et al in 1972 9 reported that the dose of fluoride which induces nausea is 0.12 mg/kg (7.2 mg of fluorine/60 kg of body weight), which is close to the toxic doses estimated in the events of fluoride poisoning in the USA. In the 1977 Michigan event, the toxic dose was estimated on the basis of the report by Thienes et al. Hyperfluoridation is frequently caused by pump trouble in fluoride concentrate distribution.

HEALTH EFFECTS: Minimum Dose of Fluoride Producing Acute Toxicity
http://www.fluoridealert.org/h...
Toxic Chemicals In Your Water
http://www.holisticmed.com/flu...
Fluoride compounds which are put in water (fluoridation), toothpaste and supplement tablets (including some vitamins) were never tested for safety before approval.
Fluoride Toxicity Research Collaborative
http://www.slweb.org/ftrc.html
Deaths or poisonings linked to fluoridation or fluoride products
http://www.fluoridation.com/po...
It is now known that fluoride's "Probably Toxic Dose" which "should trigger therapeutic intervention and hospitilization -- is 5 mg/kg of bodyweight." This means that many dental products found at home contain more than enough fluoride to kill or seriously harm a small child if ingested.

In summary, then, it appears 'research' results were unreliable and unproven.

U.N. split on Libya no-fly zone; oil escrow mulled

British Foreign Secretary William Hague told parliament this week that a U.N.-administered escrow account similar to one set up for Iraq in the 1990s was an option being considered by Britain and its allies.
The United Nations' "oil-for-food" program in Iraq -- which allowed Iraq to sell oil in order to buy humanitarian goods -- was hit with allegations of widespread corruption, and U.N. officials have said privately that there is little appetite to get back in the business of administering oil revenues.
Libya's deputy U.N. ambassador Ibrahim Dabbashi, whose denunciation of Gaddafi last month sparked dozens of defections of Libyan envoys worldwide, said he did not support the idea.
"There is no need for this," Dabbashi, a key member of the Libyan opposition, told Reuters. "We have a government in place ready to take power. We don't support an escrow account."

Cuban court to rule in U.S. contractor case

A Cuban court will rule in a few days on whether U.S. aid contractor Alan Gross is guilty of crimes against the state after prosecutors presented evidence he was involved in a "subversive project" to "defeat the revolution."

Maryland-based DAI had a contract from the U.S. Agency for International Development to conduct projects aimed at promoting political change on the Caribbean island.
Gross accused DAI of having put him in danger and his current situation of "ruining the life and economy of his family," the statement said.
Gross worked in Cuba on a tourist visa under a controversial U.S. Agency for International Development program aimed at promoting political change on the island.
The programs have been criticized in the United States for doing little more than provoking the Cuban government.
Cuban leaders view Gross' work as part of long-standing U.S. efforts to sabotage the communist government put in place after Fidel Castro took power in a 1959 revolution.

GUANTANAMO BAY: Khadr lawyer urges Canada to repatriate 'child soldier'

[OTTAWA, 30 April 2008] - With opposition parties united in a call for the government to bring Omar Khadr home from the U.S. military prison at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, the young man's Pentagon-appointed lawyer championed the unusual case of the "child soldier" at a Canadian Commons committee hearing.
US navy Lt.-Cmdr. William Kuebler's appeal for Canada to save Khadr from a potential life sentence from a U.S. military commission appeared to leave the Conservative government unmoved. Secretary of State Jason Kenney defended the government's "consistent" position of not interfering in the U.S. process governing terrorist suspects.
Kuebler emphasised that every other western country has repatriated their nationals from the prison built for "enemy combatants" in the war on terror; that all youth except Khadr were segregated in a children's wing called Camp Iguana; and that evidence he killed a U.S. soldier with a grenade during a 2002 firefight in Afghanistan was recently undermined by a contradictory account of what took place.
Wayne Marston, the New Democratic Party MP who proposed the motion for hearings into Khadr's case, reacted to Kuebler's testimony by accusing the government of abandoning a boy caught in "absolutely horrendous" circumstances. Khadr has been detained without trial for six years, since age 15, when he was captured by U.S. special forces.

 

CFOB urges Canada to halt deportation of Burmese refugee and former child soldier

August 13th 2008
Ottawa, Canada   ( CFOB is Canadian Friends of Burma {Myanmar } )

This Tuesday August 18 the Canadian Border Services Agency (CBSA) is set to deport Nay Myo Hein, a former Burmese child soldier and Saskatoon resident back to Burma. The Canadian Friends of Burma strongly disagrees with Nay Myo Hein's Pre-Risk Removal Assessment (PRRA) which concluded that "There is no serious possibility that the claimant’s removal to Myanmar will subject him to persecution." CFOB's executive director Tin Maung Htoo sees things very differently, "Nay Myo Hein, as someone facing desertion charges, must not be sent to Burma where he will most certainly be punished severely. Canada must protect this man.”

Canadian ex-child soldier pleads guilty at Guantanamo  

10/26/2010

Canadian former child soldier Omar Khadr, arrested by US forces in Afghanistan at age 15, pleaded guilty to war crimes in a deal that will see him avoid a life sentence and possibly be returned to Canada.

   
According to the deal, Khadr will be eligible after one year to serve the remainder of his sentence in Canada, and defense attorney Dennis Edney said Ottawa had provided "diplomatic notes" to that effect.
In an interview with the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation, Edney said the Canadian government "came to the table and said it is inclined to agree with the Americans and have Omar back after one year served in Guantanamo Bay. So Omar took that deal."
Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper's conservative government had steadfastly refused to seek Khadr's repatriation despite criticism from opposition lawmakers.
Ottawa on Monday would not comment on Khadr's guilty plea, describing it only as "a judicial procedure between Mr. Khadr and the American government."
