It only takes Michael West a deceptive seventy-nine pages  to write, “How to Increase your Child’s Intelligence and Academic Success  -Through the use of Vitamins-Minerals”.   However, the results of his work argue strongly for offering vitamin supplementation in the school meal programs.   Mr. West begins his examination of vitamins on the cellular level in the brain and works his way out and into the food chain and back to the soil. He gives an explanation of the makeup of the brain tissue, and the vitamin-mineral bath these molecules and microscopic structures of dendrites, axons and synapses, need to function in the best possible way.   These are the elements of consciousness itself.   When they are damaged or stunted, the essence of the being is changed.  In a scholarly way, Mr. West, a teacher in the New York public school system, gives examples and citations which support his analysis. 

In one case Mr. West writes, “Chavez and Martinez (1979) administered an experiment among children of the Jorge Nuchita Community which they described as one of the poorest communities in Mexico. They compared poorly nourished children to children who received nutritional supplementation.
Here is how Chavez and Martinez described the nonsupplemented and supplemented children: “At 36 weeks, which is when a child begins to be active, the nonsupplemented child tried to clutch the mother and in open-field tests frequently showed great anxiety and fear when left in middle of the checkerboard pattern on the floor…In general, the behavior of the nonsupplemented children may he defined as quiet, reserved, and timid (p 248). 
The method of sampling…showed that at 72 weeks of age the nonsupplemented child rarely talked and very rarely played. Fifty-five percent of the time the child was quiet, close to his mother, and at times was clutching her skirt (P 250).”
 “For an extended period, even up to the age of 3, the child spent much of his time asleep in his cradle in the darkness of his home, very often with his face covered by a netting, or wrapped up and carried on his mother’s shoulder (p 250).”
About the supplemented children Chavez and Martinez said: “The supplemented children exhibited important differences from 24 weeks of age. For example,  they slept less during the day, were not resigned to remaining in the cradle, even when rocked, and preferred to stay out of doors. Other aspects, in which observation through sampling…showed differences, were revealed when supplemented children, after 24 weeks of age, refused to be carried on their mothers’ backs or to be rolled up in the ‘rebozo,’ and preferred to be free, playing in the yard with their brothers and sisters (p 248).”
Chavez and Martinez (1979) summarize their observations by saying: “The design, to a great extent made it possible to prove the hypothesis that ‘food modifies behavior.’ It also confirmed our belief that insufficient nutrition is the principle factor of a deprived environment, affecting the personality, limiting it to a passive, negative, and dependent one (OTP emphasis) (p 252).”
Barrett and Frank (1987) conclude in a way that makes it unnecessary for me to say more about malnutrition and behavior. They said:  “If is clear that when a child receives insufficient food at any period in development, behavior is affected. When the deprivation occurs during infancy, we see immediate behavioral disturbances. The consequences of long term energy deficit are seen most clearly for those behavior attributes usually described as ‘motivational or affecting ‘performance’.” 
Mr. West explains that even if you feed your child in a healthy way, modern farming methods deplete the soil of nutrients making less available for the plants.  The nutritional value of the food is then decreased more through processing techniques and time in transit and storage.  What’s left to be eaten is filling but lacking in the basic elements of health.   Your child may be eating all day and still be starving his or her body of elements that are key to healthy development.  But this starvation is not seen by the shriveling of skin and bones.  This starvation is expressed through the shriveling of consciousness and hope.  The symptoms vary.  Deficiency in B-1 leads to apathy, poor memory, depression; deficiency in B-5 leads to depression, insomnia; deficiency in Calcium leads to nervous system disorders.  The list is a very long one.  Additionally, there are substances we eat that don’t even give a pretense to health.  Dr. Gerald Deas, the renown “People’s Doctor”, frequently cites the popular “quarter waters” as a source of asthma-inducing chemicals.  Sometimes these chemicals come in waves, as during the Halloween toxic assault of multi-colored, multi-flavored sweets.  The ingredients on the sides of those candy bags only add to the frights of the day.
We will give Mr. West’s conclusions and notes on how to help your child in Part 2 of the review in December.

Jerry Henderson, the election expert just back from Bosnia, sent in a few press clippings appearing in the European press.  In his accompanying letter, Jerry notes, “It is interesting that the issue of slave labor is now on the front burner in Europe.   You may want to do something with these articles in relationship to the research you did for the articles on reparations.”   Following Jerry’s suggestion, we give you this:

From The International Herald Tribune, September 13, 1998 p.18. “Volkswagen establishes $12 Million Fund for Nazi-Era Victims” (Los Angeles Times) Berlin – With its announcement Friday of a $12 million Private Relief Fund, automotive giant Volkswagen became the first German company to accept a moral obligation to compensate Nazi-era slave laborers. VW, Europe’s biggest car maker, cast it decision as a voluntary humanitarian gesture rather than a legal obligation, saying it was “morally called upon” to redress the wrongs of the company’s World War II forerunner.  Last month, Holocaust survivors filed two lawsuits in New York seeking back wages for wartime slave labor from some of Germany’s leading industrial giants, including VW, Siemens, Daimler-Benz and BMW.  “We are satisfied with this decision, as it should accelerate other out-of-court settlements” between German companies and their surviving wartime slaves, said Klaus von Muenchhausen, who represents 150 Nazi victims with various claims against German companies. Von Muenchhausen has pressed and won claims in district courts in Bremen and Bonn on behalf of other slave laborers over the past two years.  He contends that those cases established a legal precedent that companies that used workers enslaved by the Nazis individually are obliged to make restitution even though the German federal government has paid out 100 billion marks, or about $59 billion, in war reparations. “Many companies have said they would pay if a general fund was created,” said Von Muenchhausen.

(From The Wall Street Journal Europe, September 16, 1998 p. 10 excerpted from  Eric Peters’ column.)  “The industrial companies of Germany played and integral role in the Holocaust,” said Mr. Fagan (an attorney) whose suit also names Daimler-Benz, BMW, Audi and five non-automotive corporations.  “They masterminded and implemented with the Nazi regime a conspiracy to purposely enslave and exploit Holocaust victims and to profit from the Holocaust.’ All of that is true enough.  Just as the Confederate States of American practices chattel slavery, just as the U.S. government repeatedly abrogated lawful treaties made with sovereign American Indian tribes and stole their land.  But that was a long time ago and the principals are all dead. What happened was indeed tragic, cruel, and grossly, maliciously iniquitous.  But what has that to do with people born years after the fact-or companies whose only connection to their predecessors of half a century ago is a name on a corporate logo? The Volkswagen of the Third Reich died with Hitler in April 1945.  Its factories in Wolfburg lay in ruins….It’s one thing to demand that Swiss banks-intact corporate entities before, during and after the war-be made to account for their activities during the war. (OTP emphasis)  But as for VW and the other German industrial concerns of today, their sins died with the empire they served.”

And finally, this from the January 1998 issue of Our Time Press:

 “Stolen Land Stolen Labor -The Case
for Reparations: America’s Real Debt.”

By 1856 the advertised prices for European-owned African-Americans on one document of that time ranged from a high of $2,700 for Anderson, a “No.1 bricklayer and mason,” and $1,900 for George, a “No. 1 Blacksmith,” to $750 for Reuben, even though he was labeled “unsound.”  (See Railroad Contractor’s Credit Sale document of a choice gang of 41 slaves.)   The average cost for this lot of people was  $1,488.   As a second reference for this number, we can look at the chart for the cost of Prime Field Hands, and find that it is pretty accurate.   By multiplying the census count of slaves by the average advertised price, we arrive at a value of $5.3 billion ($5,327,079,968).    This may not look like a lot of money now, but compare it to other figures of the day.  The National Wealth Estimate for the entire nation in 1856 was $12.3 billion ($12,396,000,000).  [Note:  All figures, come from Tables in the cited U.S. Bureau of the Census publication]  Total Bank Savings Deposits in 1856 was $95.6 million.  Manhattan Island, Land and Buildings, was worth only $900 million dollars, less than one-fifth of the value invested in African-Americans.  The 1855 total capital and property investment in railroads was only $763.6 million dollars.   Why the $5 billion dollar investment in slaves?   In 1859, the total private production income was $4,098,000,000 ($4 billion).  Of this total, labor-intensive industries like “agriculture” and “transportation and communication,” accounted for $1,958 million (1.9 billion),   Almost one-half the total private income… The money earned from this investment found its way into a variety of banking institutions, which increased from 506 in 1834 to 1,643 in 1865.  Many of the names remain familiar to this day:  The Bank of New York Company, Inc. – founded 1784,  Fleet National Bank – 1791, Chase Manhattan Corporation – 1799, Citicorp/Citibank N.A. -1812 , The Dime Savings Bank – 1859.    As banks in King Cottons’ “chief American market, that of New York,” it is inconceivable that these institutions, and through them the nation, did not benefit from the profits made on a slaves’ wages.   Their business then, as it is now, was to be a source of funds to build empires in a variety of industries, across the continent, to make land purchases, upgrade equipment, save to send children to college, etc.   Railroads could be built using a combination of slave labor and loans taken at banks that held money on deposit from the cotton/slave industry.   Money was also paid to a variety of people who, while not slave-owners themselves, were “in the loop” of payments for goods and services.  Thus were assets being used to develop the country for the benefit of Europeans and their heirs.  The nation as a whole benefited, and that’s why the nation as a whole should pay.
 
If Mr. Peters of the Wall Street Journal Europe, supports the notion of Swiss banks being accountable because they remained corporately intact through the holocaust and beyond, then perhaps he also supports the notion that the banks just listed be held accountable for the monies earned from chattel slavery.  After all, Slavery only ended 75 years before the Holocaust they speak of here.   
Additionally, unlike wartime corporations dying and new ones springing up here in the States, many corporations can be found that directly owe the building of their foundations to the work of slave labor.   The push for reparations for the African American community must go forward.         DG

A basic premise of alternative medicine is that all diseases, if properly approached and treated in time, are reversible. This includes AIDS.

What is AIDS?
AIDS is defined primarily by what appears to be severe immune deficiency, and is distinguished from virtually every other disease in history by the fact that it has no constant, specific symptoms. HIV is commonly believed to be the cause of AIDS.  Once the immune system has begun to malfunction, a broad spectrum of health complications can set in. AIDS is an umbrella term for any or all twenty-eight previously known disease and symptoms. When a person has any of those microbial disease or opportunistic infections, and also tests positive for antibodies to HIV (thought by most scientists to cause immune destruction), an AIDS diagnosis is given.

The most common diseases associated with AIDS are Kaposi’s Sarcoma (a form of cancer), viruspneumosysti’s pneumonia, candidiasis and myobacterial infections such as tuberculosis, toxoplasmosis (a disease caused by protozoa that damages the central nervous system, eyes, and the body’s internal organs), cytomegalovirus, and the herpes virus. Other more general conditions not included in the twenty-eight indicator diseases, but often associated with the disease include diarrhea, weight loss, night sweats, fever, rashes, and swollen lymph glands. The common factor that all these disconnected symptoms and diseases revolve around is HIV. If HIV antibodies are detected, these diseases converge as AIDS; if not, then they are diagnosed simply for what they are. In other words, any degree of immune suppression, in the presence of HIV, is classified as AIDS. But the same degree of immune suppression in the absence of HIV, is by definition not AIDS.
Prevention or remission of AIDS itself, after HIV infection, has been dramatically helped by using methods which either retard other infections or which enhance the natural protective, detoxification, and self healing roles of the body, including the immune system which, together with other defensive systems, tries to maintain the body’s proper balance for health.
Whether the virus can be held in check depends on a number of factors, namely where the individual who is HIV infected is starting from, what level is immune function, how much previous disease or infection has there been, what other medical problems are there, and how much toxicity is there from drugs, pollution, and other harmful environmental elements. Other important factors include the person’s nutritional status, emotional state, and stress coping abilities, as well as “life-style choices”, including sexual, that may be helping or harming the defense effort. HIV entering an immune system and having an effect is determined by the strength of the immune system.

Some of the natural alternative methods being used today to improve the health and immune function of individuals with AIDS, and HIV infection include improved nutritional status, detoxification, mind/body medicine,” stress reduction therapies, herbal medicine, homeopathy, and ozone and other oxygen-based treatments.

Diet and Nutrition
Nutrition is the foundation of natural therapy. Consume predominately (preferably totally) organic live (uncooked) food nutrition in an easy to digest form from vegetarian sources only is your best medicare. Eat whole foods with as many essential nutrients and as few additives as possible. Avoid processed or unnatural foods. Use unheated flaxseed oil (omega-3 essential fatty acids) instead of other oils. Do not heat oils (no frying). Eat your largest meal in between the hours of 1pm and 6pm.

Consume fresh squeezed fruit and vegetable juices along with a minimum of half a gallon of distilled water daily. Do not drink with your meals only M hour before or two to three hours afterwards. Eliminate all meats, dairy and animal products. Consume vitamins B6, folate, vitamin B12, Selenium, Zinc, Vitamin E, Beta Carotene and Vitamin C from natural vegetarian sources (nutritional supplementation). Carrot, beet, cucumber, garlic juice, and wheat grass juice on a regular basis is recommended.

Herbal Medicine
Some herbal remedies most often employed include:
Astragalus (which helps to restore normal immune function),
Carnivora (venus fly trap) builds immune components of the blood and increases B cells, T cells, lymphocytes, granulocytes, monocytes, phagocytes, and other solid components of the immune system. 
Echinacea (purifies blood, neutralizes acids, and removes toxins, a natural antibiotic),
Licorice (has an anti-inflammatory and antiarthritic action and stimulates the production of hormones by the adrenal glands,
Goldenseal (is a tonic, laxative, a healing herb, aids in digestion and appetite, good blood cleanser),
Garlic (has antiviral, antibiotic and antiseptic properties),
Isatis Root (has antiviral properties),
 Prince Ginseng roots (adaptogenic and general tonic),
St. John’s Wort (anitdepressant, antispasmodic, stimulates bile flow, astringent, sedative, relieves pain and antiviral properties),
Chinese Bitter Melon (blood purifier and wards off a variety of infections,
Monolaurin (a virucide and fungicide) Lentinan (extract of shitake mushrooms stimulates interferon, macrophage and NK cell activities, increases antibody production and assists in the synthesizing of lymphocytes.)
These herbs have shown dramatic anti-HIV effects.

Acupuncture
Acupuncture: Acupuncture is used to increase immune function, white blood cell production, and T-cell production. It also alleviates many of the symptoms related to HIV infection and AIDS. Many patients report a reduction in fatigue, abnormal sweating, diarrhea, and acute skin reactions after and four to six acupuncture treatments. Many describe an improved sense of well being, some report weight gain, and are able to return to longer hours of work.

Hyperthermia
HIV is heat sensitive and will become increasingly inactive as the body temperature is raised progressively above normal (98.6 degrees Fahrenheit) for extended periods of time. This also stimulates the immune system by increasing the production of antibodies and interferon (a protein substance produced by virus-invaded cells that prevents reproduction of the virus) Certain forms of hyperthermia can also be employed as part of a self care regimen. Hot baths are the simplest method of increasing the body’s temperature combined with hot herbal teas and blanket wrapping to stimulate the immune system. Caution: Hyperthermia should only be undertaken with a physicians’ supervision.

Oxygen Therapy
Oxygen Therapy uses either ozone or hydrogen peroxide to combat HIV in much the same way as the human immune system uses self generated oxygen free radicals (a single oxygen atom) to destroy bacterial and viral infections. The extra oxygen atoms in both Ozone (O3) and Hydrogen peroxide (H2 02) break off and link with the invading molecules altering their molecular structure, in effect killing the harmful cells and leaving behind only oxygen (02) Or wafer (H2 O). A recent study found that when HIV infected blood was removed from the body and treated with ozone, the virus was completely deactivated. Nutritional support is also generally recommended with any oxygen therapy, particularly Vitamin C supplementation, which acts as a stabilizing antioxidant agent. For Ozone therapy seek a qualified physician.

Mind/Body
Medicine

There is an absolute vital relationship between a person’s emotional state and their immune system. In cases of AIDS and HIV infection, this relationship has a profound impact on whether the individual maintains or recovers health or whether he or she slips further down into the disease state. Spiritual and mental involvement is necessary to generate the commitment to getting themselves well. This makes the restoration of a positive, realistic outlook that encourages self-reliance, a key ingredient in any alternative approach to HIV infection and AIDS.  AIDS is not a death sentence. Maintain a positive attitude. Follow a balanced, focused treatment program.
It is by concentration on the person with AIDS or HIV, rather than on the illness or virus, that many long-term survivors of both conditions have succeeded in maintaining good levels of health. In the long run it is through a variety of methods, with a focus on cofactor infections, that both AIDS and HIV, may be successfully controlled.

Is AIDS remediable and preventable?
At the Alternative AIDS. Symposium held in New York City in December, 1991, 150 people diagnosed with AIDS were interviewed, presenting their medical history and the terminal prognosis they had been given years earlier. In each of these cases, complete remission had been realized after having followed alternative therapies. The participants avoided A.Z.T. therapy, completely changed their life-styles to a more healthful one, and embraced numerous alternative therapies.  For those who do, there is an excellent chance to live a normal life.

(Keep in mind as you read this Book Review.  We Blackafricans are lactose intolerant (unable to digest milk; we are also on the lowest rung of the American health ladder!)
Now: look up the definition of “Genocide.” Part of growing up is the angst we feel when we discover that the authority figures we believe in are fallible. Robert Cohen’s “Milk: The Deadly Poison” delivers one of the biggest, most devastating doses of instant maturity ever, with his graphic description of corporate (Monsanto) and federal (Food & Drug Authority) coverup and collusion.  If this book doesn’t stir you out of some of your bad eating habits, you might as well admit to having suicidal tendencies!  Despite the immense media hype, especially on TV, that “Milk is a Health Kick,” and despite Spike Lee’s (& others’) milk mustaches, what “Milk: The Deadly Poison” boils down to (pardon the pun) is that milk and milk products-butter, ice cream, cream, yogurt, cheese and the casein (milk glue) they’re putting into everything for “binding,” (including your favorite cans of tuna!) -all of these milk products are delivering disease-producing chemicals and hormones, to the unsuspecting public in America, including our babies and children.  Everything about “Milk: The Deadly Poison”, eerily repetitive, is shocking: the red/yellow cover print the Death’s head on the red carton of milk, along with the ingredient list of “powerful growth hormones, cholesterol, fat, allergenic bovine proteins, insecticides, antibiotics, viruses and bacteria.”  Adding tremendous credibility to this publication is the name of the person who writes the Foreword, Jane Heimlich, the wife of the famous Dr. Henry Heimlich, of “The Heimlich Maneuver” invention.  She states, among other dynamite allegations, that “You may not want to hear this but what you’ve been told all your life about milk is an outright lie. I suspected that milk was a health disaster back in the Spring of ’94. At that time, while researching an article for Health & Healing, a newsletter with a half million subscribers, I learned that the Food & Drug Administration (FDA) had approved the use of a genetically-engineered hormone called “recombinant bovine growth hormone. (rBGH) The alleged purpose of the hormone, a $500 million investment on the part of the Monsanto Company, is to increase a cow’s milk output. A more disturbing consequence of the bovine growth hormone is that it increases levels of a powerful growth hormone, IGF-I a key factor in the growth and proliferation of cancer. (My emphasis) From reporting on alternative medicine, I knew too well how the medical establishment can lie through its teeth. Reading this book, you will learn that milk contributes to heart disease and increases your risk of breast cancer. You will learn that milk is a poor source of calcium and why, and that milk is a prime cause of allergies (including asthma) and much more. You will learn that milk can even kill your infant. (My emphasis) At times, this book reads like a detective story.” 
This impactful Foreword leads right into an even more dynamic Preface by the author, Robert Cohen, who describes how a young Black lawyer, Clarence Thomas, used his influence while he was working for Monsanto (which has produced Agent Orange and Aspartame and the intrauterine coil, to get the FDA to allow dairymen in the U.S. to inject milk cows with a bacterium from fecal material, E.Coli (you don’t wanna know!) and a hormone, recombinant Bovine Growth Hormone so that the cows would give more milk and so that the dairymen would, therefore, make more money. (You should remember: One out of eight women in America will develop breast cancer.  Calcium in milk is not adequately absorbed.  Milk consumption is the probably cause of osteoporosis. Sixty percent of America’s dairy cows have leukemia virus.  As a society, we have never been more overweight.  By the time the average person in America reaches the age of 52, he or she has consumed in milk and dairy products, the equivalent of cholesterol contained in 1 million slices of bacon. (My emphasis)
Milk hormones exert growth effects on humans.  Cancer, heart disease, asthma, allergies and so much more, are all made possible by milk.  America was told that milk from rbST treated cows, (recombinant bovine somatotropin and E.Coli bacterium) was identical to the milk that had been enjoyed for generations. That statement was untrue. (My emphasis) After cows were injected with this hormone, their milk contained increased levels of another hormone, insulin-like growth factor-I(IGF-I), the most powerful growth hormone occurring in nature. rBGH (recombinant bovine growth hormone) is not approved in Canada, Japan, Australia, New Zealand or Europe. (My emphasis) Finally, if I reproduce all of the important information in “Milk: The Deadly Poison,” I’d be reprinting the entire book. Anyone caring about their own and their children’s, their relative’s or their friend’s lives, has got to read and digest the information (and not ingest milk or milk products!)

I cannot end this review without this addition: “There is a group of chemicals, recently discovered, Prions (my emphasis) which can reproduce themselves without DNA. Prions have been passed on from cows to humans. Mad Cow Disease is a Prion disease. The scientific name for Mad Cow Disease is “bovine Spongiform encephalitis.” After the first exposure to a Prion, the onset of disease might take up to 20 years to develop. Prions are tiny crystals which replicate themselves and slowly destroy the human brain until Alzheimer-like symptoms develop.
A quote from Tim Lang in 1996 as Professor of Food Policy at Thames University:  “We are in a mass experiment which is killing us. Never before have diseased ruminants (sheep) been fed to other ruminants (cows) and then fed to humans.  We have interfered with the whole process of nature and what is now happening is one of our worst nightmares. This is a tragedy on a massive scale. The government has been so totally stupid.”
Forewarned is (supposedly) forearmed, What does the government give out in Blackafrican neighborhoods? COW’S MILK: BUTTER, CHEESE. ..(WIC?  Check out the hospitals and the schools, too!)  MILK DOES NOT DO A BODY GOOD!
