Health Committee denounces ‘unjustified scare’ of Swine Flu waste of public money

PACE Health Committee denounces ‘unjustified scare’ of Swine Flu, waste of public money.

So, for many, it won’t be such a big surprise, that we’ve also heard that the three scientists who authored the World Health Organization guidance document for the swine flu pandemic were in the pay of the drug companies. The very drug companies due to profit so much from stockpiles of vaccines, if governments could be persuaded to stockpile. Once again we get a glimpse of the behind-the-scenes corporate puppeteering that compromises our freedoms. Such manipulation resulted in an estimated £1bn wasted stockpile of drugs and vaccines and officials are now attempting to unpick expensive drug contracts.

How many more worthy causes could that money have been spent on? Using independent expertise to save the delicate natural ecosystems in the Gulf of Mexico from oil emanating from BP’s deep sea drilling disaster is one that comes to mind just now, especially given the foot-dragging from BP. But coming back to the swine flu debacle, apart from money, just how much anxiety, fear and suffering could have been avoided?

Alliance for Natural Health

Alliance for Natural Health (ANH) Intl’s Robert Verkerk went head to head with Basil Mathioudakis, head of the food law unit at the European Commission, at the end of April over ANH-Europe and the Irish Association of Health Stores’ petition to the European Parliament (EP) on Maximum Permitted Levels.

It was a win for common sense when the EP Petitions Committee unanimously agreed to keep open the ANH’s and four related petitions, that questioned how the European regulators were going about limiting maximum levels of vitamins and minerals to potentially ridiculously low levels.

Wheat Grass Juice

Join us on Thursday April 29th for a delicious in-store tasting of wheat grass and broccoli juices, all grown and squeezed in Wexford.

Wheatgrass Juice

Enzymes are important for every function in the body. Digestive enzymes such as amylase and protease are found in wheatgrass juice. This is desirable since the body does not have to produce these in order to perform the digestive function of “processing” the wheatgrass juice. Wheatgrass, in its raw state is abundant in enzymes. Juice that has been pasteurised (heat treated) will have lost most or all of its enzymes. Juice that has been spray dried will also have been subjected to high temperatures.
