£1Billion for Stem Cell Study 7/1/06

Britian will aim to become the world leader in controversial stem cell technology which scientists say could provide cures for a host of diseases.

Mr. Brown said a new official body with a budget of more than £1 billion a year would oversee medical research.

The Office for Strategic Co-ordination of Health Research will be tasked with pooling the talents of universities, institutes, pharmaceutical companies and the NHS.

He said Britain had to transform its research and knowledge into jobs, announcing £60 million a year for applied research with 'commercial potential' in universities.

The Chancellor told MPs: 'We are determined that Britain be a world class location for future medical research, including stem cells.

This puts him at odds with George Bush, who has refused to fund the research because it involves the use of embryos.

Stem cells, found in embryos and bone marrow, have the potential to develop into any of the body's tissues and experts hope they can be used to produce 'spare parts'.

But the British Medical Association expressed concern that the £1 billion 'boost' was actually a cut.  It said medical research funding for 2007-08 was expected to be £1.3 billion (!)

Pfizer scraps key drug

Pfizer, the world's largest drug company, has abruptly halted clinical trials of its leading experimental medicine, the cholesterol drug Torcetrapib, after the deaths of eighty-two people during testing. Evidence from the trials, which involved 15,000 patients worldwide - some of them in the United Kingdom - revealed increased death rates from heart attacks and strokes. The abandonment of such a key pipeline drug treatment is a blow for Pfizer, which revealed that an independent safety board had recommended the measures after the trial had shown what was referred to as "an imbalance of mortality and cardiovascular events."

Counter-intuitive cures
Michael White
Wednesday December 6, 2006

Mr Blair was accused of suggesting that the closure of accident and emergency departments at beloved local hospitals might actually improve the NHS by allowing stroke or heart attack suspects to be driven past their nearest A&E to be saved at a city-wide or regional "super A&E".  http://politics.guardian.co.uk/publicservices/comment/0,,1964954,00.html

 

Ephraim  Hardcastle, Daily Mail 8/12/06  !!!

"The Arts Council is advertising for a 'dancer' to work for the pharmaceutical giant GlaxoSmithKline at its Harlow, Essex, site.  The three-month assignment from April 2007 offers a £10,000 bursary and aims to 'unlock the artistic potential' of GlaxoSmithKline boffins.  Are we collectively taking leave of our senses?"

One Click NICE Evidence Formally Accepted.

It has been confirmed by Andrew Dillon, CEO of the National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence (NICE) that the evidence produced by the pressure group in The One Click Group Response - NICE Guidelines, will be published in full on the NICE website.  READ THE NEWS ON ONE CLICK  http://www.theoneclickgroup.co.uk 

1.  Ian Gibson MP Goes Berserk, Litigation Threatened. 6/12/06

In the most extraordinary turn of events today, Dr Ian Gibson MP, Labour Member of Parliament for Norwich North, has threatened to sue One Click if we publish what he has said over the evidence submitted to his 'inquiry'. Gibson is currently refusing to answer the questions and will not give a date as to when he will respond, if at all.  A tape recording of this conversation in which Gibson becomes vociferously legalistically violent over the evidence is winging its way to the One Click solicitors as we go to internet press now. The way that Gibson has reacted so badly today to the evidence issue indicates strongly that there is something deeply badly wrong at the core of this unofficial 'inquiry'. 

 

2.  Martin Walker On Gibson And Short.

Over a year ago, investigative writer Martin J. Walker wrote a most incisive piece about the Gibson ME/CFS 'inquiry' and what he so accurately predicted would come to pass. Walker has never been known to be wrong over these issues as a short perusal of his Skewed book that deals with ME/CFS so clearly illustrates.  Walker writes: “The conflict between the psychiatric lobby and those who believe that ME has a physical aetiology is now intractably dominated by vested interests. The PRIME Project, the ‘Independent’ Inquiry and the network of clinics set up by the NHS, under the guidance of Professor Pinching, all constitute major advances by the psychiatric lobby. Unfortunately, after twenty years of denigration, many ME sufferers and their carers are still avoiding crucial political questions and failing to work autonomously towards what should be their two main objectives.”

VACCINES



Forced vaccines and quarantines are being signed into law as we 'debate' the solution to Bush's war in Iraq: Senate approves Burr's bioterrorism bill --Critics warn about the effects of 'secret vaccine production' 06 Dec 2006 The Senate passed a bill last night [S.3678] sponsored by Sen. Richard Burr, R-N.C., that would create a new federal agency to combat [foment] bioterrorism. The bill to establish the Biomedical Advanced Research and Development Authority, commonly referred to as BARDA, passed by unanimous consent. Barbara Loe Fisher, the president of the National Vaccine Information Center (National Vaccine Information Center), has been an outspoken critic of the bill. She was unaware that the bill had been passed by the Senate last night but said she's worried about the effects "secret vaccine production" could have on the American public. "This is an extremely dangerous precedent that is being set," she said. [Pandemic and All-Hazards Preparedness Act (Engrossed as Agreed to or Passed by Senate)[S.3678.ES] --The Library of Congress, THOMAS]

The House vote to approve BARDA could take place before Friday, 08 Dec.  In the future, when the Secretary of Health and Human Services declares a public health "emergency" under Bioshield and other federal and state legislation passed since Sept. 11, 2001, Americans could be quarantined and forced to use experimental drugs and vaccines and have no recourse to the civil justice system if they are injured by them. Congress has already given complete liability protection to drug companies and those who order citizens to take drugs and vaccines during a declared public health "emergency." [Call the Capitol Switchboard: 202-224-3121 to express your views on BARDA; visit www.house.gov to locate your Congresscritters.]

Senators should not grant immunity to a biomedical countermeasures agency.

New Zealand: It Has Happened - ANZTPA BILL TABLED

Late last night the Government tabled legislation to try and make the dreaded ANZTPA proposal a reality and making it clear that the scheme would include all natural products and medical devices. Unlike some other groups, the NZ Health Trust has always considered that if and when the legislation made an appearance it would cover all such products and now this has been shown to be correct.

Some of this equipment is now operational within the Central Intelligence Agency and the Federal Bureau of Investigation.

The Symphony of Time

by Timothy Burns Watson

Are we prisoners of the moment, or can we use hope, imagination, and faith to set ourselves free? This gloriously panoramic musical allegory, this symphony of time offers on optimistic answer. Here is a sophisticated postmodern synthesis of spirit and materialism, consciousness and music, text and hypertext that will captivate and liberate the modern philosopher and educated reader.

What Made Us Write With Our Feet?

by Timothy Burns Watson

Given that every journey begins with a single step, it is interesting that this writer has chosen to record his journey with his feet. Ever since Nietzsche pronounced the death of God, the writer has discovered that, without the help of his God, he is unable to write, unable to even hold a pen in his hand. Given that he cannot even hold a pen in his hand, why should he not try writing with his feet? There is even an episode of automatic writing toward the end of the novel. Would you believe that the shaman-writer actually performed automatic writing with his feet? In this novel, the reader is taken on a series of adventures that incorporate the life of everyone. This is a book that moves from the tragic to the comic effortlessly, as we are taken on a journey that operates on many levels of consciousness at once.
