Milgram’s findings shed a great deal of light on the testimonies of Nazi war criminals at Nuremberg who argued that they were ‘only doing their jobs’.

SHOCKER: WYETH PHARMA PAID GHOST WRITERS TO WRITE FAVORABLE REVIEWS OF HORMONE REPLACEMENT THERAPY FOR MEDICAL JOURNALS My comment: Prem Pro [aka Premarin] gets its name from ‘pregnant mare’s urine’ and is the essential ingredient in estrogen replacement medication. It is now indisputable that breast cancer is linked to, among other things, estrogen replacement therapy. Additionally, big pharma operates grotesque horse farms where mares are profoundly abused by being kept pregnant, continuously tapped for their urine, and young foals systematically euthanized. It’s a nightmare of animal abuse and neglect– –all for the profits of Wyeth and the deaths of women everywhere. Gee, does anyone else think this is so insane that, like me, you can’t wait for collapse???
It should be understood that some estrogen can be replaced naturally by using harmless substances that contain phytoestrogens, that is, plant–based estrogens. There is a great deal of information on the internet about phytoestrogens. Estrogen replacements manufactured by pharmaceutical companies should be avoided like the plague– –because they are worse than the plague.

HORRIFYING NEW DISEASE IDENTICAL TO MATERIALS FOUND IN GM FOODS
‘Just in case you thought it was fine to eat Genetically Modified foods (better identified as FrankenFoods), along comes a study which makes it clear that you are eating this make believe non-food at your own peril and, worse yet, you are feeding it to your kids at their peril as well. It is important to note that Codex Alimentarius, which sets standards for the international trade of food, permits genetically modified foods and makes no effort to limit, control or eliminate them. In fact, the US has been trying for years to prevent the labeling of GM foods and seed in international trade to emulate its domestic policy which prohibits any label indication that foods contain GM ingredients, as 75-80% of all foods sold in the US do’.
