The religion of Rome is not Christianity

Constantine did not convert to Christianity, he converted Christianity and defeated it.  He took the Jewish Messiah and made him into a Roman emperor god.  Constantine associated himself with the Flavian Dynasty who destroyed the Jewish Temple and used the treasures from there to pay for the Colosseum in Rome.  Constantine Built his Arch across from the Colosseum and the Arch of Titus.  He even took on the Name Flavius.

Constantine fused the worship Of Mithras and Apollo the sun gods (osiris was the Egyptian version which Rome conquered) with Jesus and recreated Christianity.  Jesus was refashioned as a blood sacrifice to save the people into divine Resurrection just as Mithras to bring in the Roman Soldier elite.

The cross was already used by the Jews and Gentile who believed that Jesus was the messiah, the suffering and dying Messiah son of Joseph not son of David.  Jesus went to the tribe of Gad living in Spain and was not able to bring them back to Israel which was one of the things the victorious Messiah was supposed to do.  The new testament has some encoded messages to tell us the truth that the Catholic Church was hiding.  Symbols abound, Shepard bringing in the sheep Jesus as Fisher of men and fish as the Christian symbol.   Sheep are Gadi in Hebrew and Fish is Dag (Gad backwards) The voyage of Jesus was like the one of Noah to southern Spain (the ends of the Earth) .

The Roman Centurion who converted hints at the truth that many Soldiers were Christians before Constantine changed the religion who considered Jesus to be another God. (evidence by archaeological digs)    These soldiers ate with Jews who regarded Jesus as Messiah.

Constantine made up the vision of the cross in the sky and a dream about Jesus to bring in Christians who would never go for a Pagan god.
The Imperial cult worshiped Apollo the sun god representing the light of creation and the Emperor was the representative of Apollo.  Mithras was the sun god based on Osiris the Egyptian sun god who dies and was resurrected over and over (as the sun does) who killed a bull and from the blood saved the world.  The Roman soldier elite worshiped Mithras because they wanted to be resurrected since they were always dying.  The ritual was to take from the blood and body of the sacrifice and be saved.

Jesus has a halo around his head in early Christian iconography and paintings just as the Sun god is depicted with rays from his head.

 Constantinople in Turkey was his city, not named after Jesus but after himself.  He creates a statue of Apollo with his own face with some relics of the 'True" cross.

Worshipers in Southern Spain where the oral tradition and the gospel say was visited by Jesus and paul do not consider Jesus to be god, just a man

Enough Anti-Semitic gospel lies

The Movie Son of God and the mini-series that came before it, perpetuate the usual Anti-Jewish myths.   The Jewish elite wanted Jesus dead, because he threatened their power, he blasphemed etc.  Then the myth that the Sanhedrin prosecuted him in the night on Passover.  Then that the Jewish crowd called for his execution.


  1. Rome was in power.  If Jesus threatened anyone's power it was Rome.
  2. Even if some Jewish elites power was threatened, they wouldn't stoop to having him executed.
  3. Blasphemy requires witnesses and is seldom if ever recorded as meriting the death Penalty.
  4. Crucifixion is not one of the sanctioned means of execution and no one was ever or would ever be convicted and sent to the Crucifix.
  5. The 'Sanhedrin' mentioned in the New Testament was not the actual Jewish Court, rather it was made up of Roman appointees. 
  6. The real Sanhedrin would not convene on Passover.

Biblical Slavery - not what you think.

In the times of Moses Hebrews did not have slaves.  The root word Evd in Hebrew means work or labor.  OVaiD means working.  EVeD means servant as in Eved Elohim - Servant of god. Or in Arabic ABDullah (v is softened to b)

Hebrews would sellthemselves into indentured servitude if they were poor and the court would sell thieves into servitude to earn money to pay restitution to their victim.

The very first of the civil laws in the Books of Moses (Pentatauch) is to treat the servant as good or better than oneself.  A lesson we learn from this prominence is that Civil Law must begin with justice for the lowest and poorest of us and not influenced in favor of the privileged few.   In fact it is the duty of the privileged to care for the poor as the "privileged" master cares for the servant.

The mind of evil.

Evil comes from not facing reality, Jealousy and blaming others.

A mass murderer, Elliot Rodger, leaves us an autobiography.  It is a revealing glimpse into why people do evil and the motivation behind today's Socialist American government.  

It begins with feeling a sense of loss; feeling inferior, worthless and helpless as many of us feel when we are young.  If we are schooled in managing Jealousy (one of the 10 precepts passed down to us by Moses), not feeling entitled and comparing only to ourselves, we do not hate or blame others and get through this stage by improving our thinking and skills.  We learn self-esteem. 

If we are schooled in victim mentality, oppressor and oppressed, as our culture has been doing for the last few decades, we fester in anger and hate.  This type of mentality is envious of others and hates them for what they have or are able to accomplish.  They are not inspired that if others can do it, so can they.  Instead they feel that they should have it and that it's not fair that others do.  If they can't have it then no on should.

At first they seek to escape reality via books, TV, video games etc..  When their anger and hate build up enough, they want to control others.  The enemy.  Murder, rape, war and tyrannical government are the result.   They do not face the reality that they, and not others, are keeping them down. 

I bold the words or passages that illustrate his state of mind. 

the park staff presented me with a measuring stick, and I didn’t fit the
requirements. I saw other boys my age admitted onto the ride, but I was denied because I was too short! The ride that I was so excited to enjoy at the theme park was forbidden to me. I immediately fell into a crying tantrum, and my mother had to comfort me.
Being denied entry on a simple amusement park ride due to my height may seem like only a small injustice, but it was big for me at time

Notice that everything is done to him and that he calls it injustice.  His standard of fairness or justice is self-centered.  He is angry and disappointed.  Writing at maturity, he still denies the reality that it was an issue of ride safety and not injustice.

I failed in my goal of never having to change my card, which really disappointed me. I went through most of the year without changing my card, but right when the year was about to end, I was caught talking in class with a friend named Danny Dayani, who sat next to me, and I had to change my card to
yellow. I blamed Danny for it, because he was always talking in class, but I still had to change my card. 

It was as if the girls in elementary school were part of a separate reality. Despite not having much interaction with them, they treated me cordially, as they treated all other boys of my age. This was fair, and I was content with this. I hadn’t gone through puberty yet, and so I had no desire for female validation.  My eight-year-old self had no inkling of the pain and misery girls would cause me once puberty would inevitably arrive and my sexual desires for girls would develop.  Sexual desires that would be mercilessly spurned. Some of the boys in my class would grow up to be embraced by girls, while I would grow up to be rejected by them.

He does not acknowledge that he feels pain and misery, which might give him control.  Rather, he feels the girls cause it.  He ascribes mercilessness to being spurned.  He has made the girls "bad".  They have no mercy.  This is how he excuses his emotions and actions to himself.  It's not his fault, it's them.  He is "Evening the score" "Righting a wrong" or other cliché.

As Fourth Grade started, it fully dawned on me that I was the shortest kid in my class  – even the girls were taller than me. In the past, I rarely gave a thought to it, but at this stage I became extremely annoyed at how everyone was taller than me, and how the tallest boys were automatically respected more. It instilled the first feelings of inferiority in me, and such feelings would only grow more volatile with time.

He tries to get taller by playing basketball, but his mindset still sabotages him.

When I played basketball at school, some boys would join me, and when they did I saw that they were much better at the sport than me. I envied their ability to throw the ball at double the distance than I could. This made me realize that along with being short, I was physically weak compared to other boys my age. Even boys younger than me were stronger. This vexed me to no end.

By nature, I am a very jealous person, and at the age of nine my jealous nature sprung to the surface.

He accepts his jealousy as natural.  Another cop out, so he doesn't have to manage it or feel guilty about it.  Jealousy just springs up.  He had nothing to do with it.  It's not his fault. 

Maddy often played with my little sister Georgia instead of me, and this too made me jealous. I remember all the times I cried when this happened.
Jealousy and envy… those are two feelings that would dominate my entire life and bring me immense
 pain. The feelings of jealousy I felt at nine-years-old were frustrating, but they were nothing compared to how I would feel once I hit puberty and have to watch girls choosing other boys over me. Any problem I had at nine-years-old was nirvana compared to what I was doomed to face.  
 
Poor me.  Dominated and Doomed.   He externalizes his Jealousy and envy. It's nature; they made me jealous. 
 
I realized that there were hierarchies, that some people were better than others. ..  At school, there were always the “cool kids” who seemed to be more   admirable          than everyone else...

The peaceful and innocent environment of childhood where everyone had an equal footing was all over. The time of fair play was at its end. Life is a competition and a struggle, and I was slowly starting to realize it.

Oh my, he now has to compete and struggle.  That's not fair play.  Everyone should be equal. E.G. he should get what he wants without effort.  Like he did in Kindergarten.  Sound familiar?  This is the influence of government propaganda schooling. 

 I also started to examine myself and compare myself to these “cool kids”. I realized, with some horror, that I wasn’t “cool” at all.  This revelation about the world, and about myself, really decreased my self-esteem. On top of this was the feeling that I was different because I am of mixed race. I am half White, half Asian, and this made me different from the normal fully-white kids that I was trying to fit in with. 
 
He is comparing himself to others.  He has no self-esteem, and so finds himself inferior (in his flawed judgment); and then he pulls the race card.  White is normal, in his mind, and he is of mixed race.  The victim who doesn't fit in.  Even though the 'white' kids are usually also of mixed race and don't see him as different.   Again the influence of today's propagandized political culture - alien to Judeo-Christian American values. 
 
He quits collecting Pokémon cards because it's not "cool".  He takes up skateboarding and becomes obsessed with copying the "cool" kids.  Sounds like a TV plot?  More Hollywood propaganda. He is nothing in his eyes and tries to get value by copying being "cool".  Value by being part of a group.  He is dependent on other's judgment.  Fit in.  Conform. 
 
Once he reaches puberty he is jealous of the other kids who have girlfriends.  He is pushed and yelled at by a girl in summer camp and thinks she did it because she viewed him as a loser.  He goes on to hate girls and the boys who get them and then even the idea of sex because he can't get it.  He fantasizes about controlling the world and outlawing sex and anything else that he can't have.  Sounds familiar?  That is the motivation for Nanny State control of people.  Jealousy and trying to get reality to conform to their twisted inner reality because they can't deal with what is.   
 
The rest of his manifesto is filled with times when he was happy and recounting all the people he was jealous of and hated.  He was angry that his parent's didn't help him prepare for the world.  Oh how he cried.  In time, most of us learn to forgive our parents, if we feel that way.
 
He learns about the Lottery and feels thrilled that he could become a multi-millionaire.  When life is out of ones control then chance is the only redeemer.
 
He watches the movie Alpha Dog where teens party and have sex with girls.  This is the life he wants to lead.  He was so envious that he is delighted when the main character, a fifteen year old kid, dies in the end.   
 
He hates his father for being too weak to overrule being thrown out of the house by the father's ex-girlfriend.  He hides his anger because he still needs his father. 
 
Over and over he is so jealous of couples that he cries.  He dreams of a world with artificial insemination and no sex where it is all fair.  He feels that "sex is evil and gives too much pleasure to those who don't deserve it".   Sounds just like equalizing economic outcomes so that everyone has no money.  What you are jealous of, such as Being rich becomes evil and those who are rich don't deserve it.   It is the same motivation as Socialism.  Jealousy, envy and destruction to restore "fairness".  Everyone should be miserable and poor with no sex to satisfy the Jealous.  All made low to keep things "fair".     
 
He blames women, who he feels control who gets sex, as being flawed and depraved with no morality.  Wicked evil animals whose breeding should be controlled by  Rational men with intelligence.  Sound familiar?  The Politicians know better and need to control the unrefined animals like you.     
 
The mass murderer is formed more easily in this current culture of Jealousy and revenge than the one with a work ethic and Judeo-Christian values that we used to have.

The mass murderer is born of the same mentality as the Socialist. See below for his conclusion.  Change the word "Woman" to "the rich" or 'Jews'
 and 'sex' to 'money' and you will see the same mindset and even rationalizations.    
 
The ultimate evil behind sexuality is the human female. They are the main instigators of sex. They control which men get it and which men don’t.  Women are flawed creatures, and my mistreatment at their hands has made me realize this sad truth. There is something very twisted and wrong with the way their brains are wired. They think like beasts, and in truth, they are beasts. Women are incapable of having morals or thinking rationally. They are completely controlled by their depraved emotions and vile sexual impulses. Because of this, the men who do get to experience the pleasures of sex and the privilege of breeding are the men who women are sexually attracted to… the stupid, degenerate , obnoxious men. I have observed this all my life. The most beautiful of women choose to mate with the most brutal of men, instead of magnificent gentlemen like myself.

Women should not have the right to choose who to mate and breed with. That decision should be made for them by rational men of intelligence. If women continue to have rights, they will only hinder the advancement of the human race by breeding with degenerate men and creating stupid, degenerate offspring. This will cause humanity to become even more depraved with each generation. Women have more power in human society than they deserve, all because of sex. There is no creature more evil and depraved than the human female.
 
Women are like a plague. They don’t deserve to have any rights. Their wickedness must be contained in order prevent future generations from falling to degeneracy. Women are vicious, evil, barbaric animals, and they need to be treated as such.

In fully realizing these truths about the world, I have created the ultimate and perfect ideology of how a fair and pure world would work. In an ideal world, sexuality would not exist. It must be outlawed. In a world without sex, humanity will be pure and civilized. Men will grow up healthily, without having to worry about such a barbaric act.

All men will grow up fair and equal, because no man will be able to experience the pleasures of sex while others are denied it. The human race will evolve to an entirely new level of civilization, completely devoid of all the impurity and degeneracy that exists today.
In order to completely abolish sex, women themselves would have to be abolished. All women must be quarantined like the plague they are, so that they can be used in a manner that actually benefits a civilized society. In order carry this out, there must exist a new and powerful type of government, under the control of one divine ruler, such as myself.  [now you know why civilization was run this way for thousands of years.] 

The ruler that establishes this new order would have complete control over every aspect of society, [the goal of Socialists] in order to direct it towards a good and pure place. At the disposal of this government, there needs to be a highly trained army of fanatically loyal troops, in order to enforce such revolutionary laws. [a Police state so that the ruler can experience relief from what is] The first strike against women will be to quarantine all of them in concentration camps. At these camps, the vast majority of the female population will be deliberately starved to death. That would be an efficient and fitting way to kill them all off. I would take great pleasure and satisfaction in condemning every single woman on earth to starve to death. I would have an enormous tower built just for myself, where I can oversee the entire concentration camp and gleefully watch them all die.
 
If I can’t have them, no one will,  I’d imagine thinking to myself as I oversee this. Women represent everything that is unfair with this world, and in order to make the world a fair place, they must all be eradicated. A few women would be spared, however, for the sake of reproduction. These women would be kept and bred in secret labs. There, they will be artificially inseminated with sperm samples in order to produce offspring. Their depraved nature will slowly be bred out of them in time. Future generations of men would be oblivious to these remaining women’s  existence, and that is for the best. If a man grows up without knowing of the existence of women, there will be no desire for sex. Sexuality will completely cease to exist.  Love will cease to exist.  There will no longer be  any imprint of such concepts in the human psyche.   It is the only way to purify the world. 

In such a pure world, the man’s mind can develop to greater heights [ Marx's goal] than ever before. Future generations will live their lives free of having to worry about the barbarity of sex and women, which will enable them to expand their intelligence and advance the human race to a state of perfect civilization. 
 
It is such a shameful pity that my ideal world cannot be created. I realized long ago that there is no way I could possibly rise to such a level of power in my lifetime, with the way the world is now. Such a thing will never become a reality for me, but it did give me something to fantasize about as I burned with hatred towards all women for rejecting me throughout the years. This whole viewpoint and ideology of abolishing sex stems from being deprived of it all my life.

 
If I cannot have it, I will do everything I can to DESTROY IT.

 My orchestration of the Day of Retribution is my attempt to do everything, in my power, to destroy everything I cannot have. All of those beautiful girls I’ve desired so much in my life, but can never have because they despise and loathe me, I will destroy.  All of those popular people who live hedonistic lives of pleasure, I will destroy, because they never accepted me as one of them. I will kill them all and make them suffer, just as they have made me suffer. It is only fair.

 Why do things have to be this way? 

 I’m sure that is the question everyone will be asking after the Day of  Retribution is over. They will all be asking why.

Indeed, why? That is the question I’ve had for everyone throughout  all my years of suffering. Why was I condemned to live a life of misery and worthlessness while other men were able to experience the pleasures of sex and love with women? Why do things have to be this way? I ask all of you. All I ever wanted was to love women, and in turn to be loved by them back. Their behavior towards me has only earned my hatred, and rightfully so!   I am the true victim in all of this. I am the good guy.

Humanity struck at me first by condemning me to experience so much suffering. I didn’t ask for this. I didn’t  want  this. I didn’t start this war… I wasn’t the one who struck first… But I will finish it by striking back. I will punish  everyone.  And it will be beautiful. Finally, at long last, I can show the world my true worth.

Eat Dirt

Science is discovering that genetic information/instructions can transfer from microbes to us.  For instance Japanese who eat seaweed can extract nutrients because the bacteria from the seaweed transfers the genetic instructions necessary to properly create the enzymes or whatever is needed to digest this food.

Adaptation to local food is transferred from the soil to us via bacterial genes. 
Our digestive system is in symbiosis with the soil.  As scientists have recently discovered, without the helpful bacteria in our gut, we can not extract the proper nutrients from our food.  Those gut microbes may even play a role as the first defense in our immune system.

This also applies to the soil itself

"Far from being scourges to be avoided at all cost, microorganisms are an essential component of life. We now understand that it is the cooperation between these microorganisms, the soil’s biome, and the plants’ roots, called rhizosphere that is ultimately responsible for allowing the plant to absorb nutrients from the soil in which it’s grown.

Insects and weeds also have their place in this circle of life. According to soil scientist Dr. Arden Andersen, insects are nature’s garbage collectors. Thanks to their specialized digestive systems, which differ from ours, they remove that which is not fit for us to eat—things we cannot digest.

And weeds are nature’s way of evolving the soil—it’s an intermediate plant that mobilizes nutrients in order to alter the soil, making it more suitable for the next evolutionary level of plants to grow in it."

In Hebrew. this concept of linking Man to Soil is present in the words themselves:
ADaM  - A human being
ADaMaH - The Soil

Adam in the biblical narrative is created from the soil.  In a sense this creation is ongoing as genetic patterns, material and instructions are transferred from the earth's micro-biome to us.

Perhaps that is why, in the Biblical Narrative, certain species were not permitted to be joined into Hybrids.  The resultant bacteria might transfer harmful genetic instructions.

Gene Splicing, in foods, is far more likely to lead to unknown interactions between bacteria and us.  The current Roundup resistant plants are just such a case.  What genetic strangeness is the genetically modified corn, soy etc. conveying to humans?  Not to mention the Roundup itself which destroys bacteria in the soil and in our gut.  Besides a depletion of nutrients due to the killing of soil bacteria , what will the Roundup immune bacteria, which will evolve, do to us?  What are they already doing?

To stay healthy, don't buy animals given antibiotics and food containing GMO.

Antibiotic resistance has been declared a crisis by the World Health Organization, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the Institute of Medicine, the Infectious Diseases Society of America, and virtually all other relevant organizations.
The last new antibiotic class for gram-negative bacteria was the quinolones, developed 40 years ago.
Antibiotic abuse in the United States is widespread. We have only 4.6% of the global population but we have 46% of the global antibiotic market.
What can you DO?
Stop Antibiotic Use on the Farm
A full 80% of antibiotic use in the United States is for growth promotion and disease prevention in farm animals. Resistant bacteria and resistance genes can be traced from the chickens to the chicken meat in grocery stores and, finally, to blood cultures in patients (The "farm to fork" phenomenon). The practice of antibiotics for growth promotion on the farm was stopped in Denmark many years ago, with no apparent economic or animal health consequences.
Only buy meat that says no antibiotics used.
Ideally –  Pasture raised - Grass fed and finished, for red meat and organic grain for chickens.
Eat only Foods certified Non-GMO – see below for why.
 
Adopt Rapid Diagnostic Tests
Take a rapid test for bacteria before taking that pill. We  have a test for the detection of MRSA, vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus, Neisseria gonorrhoeae, Chlamydia trachomatis, group B Streptococcus, tuberculosis, Candida albicans, and many others. Coming soon are tests that will detect practically every bacterium as well as other pathogens, making a diagnosis, to facilitate antibiotic decision-making, within 1-2 hours of collecting the culture.
There's always a butt...
initial studies show that antibiotics such as ciprofloxacin, commonly prescribed for 1 week, have a profound and sometimes lasting effect on the colonic microbiome. Furthermore, excessive antibiotics in childhood have been associated strongly with subsequent obesity and inflammatory bowel disease.
 
Take a Probiotic supplement every day to keep the Doctor (and the poo pill) away.
(If you get C-Diff, the solution is to put poo from a healthy host into your colon.)
 
I'm not kidding. 
Your digestive and immune system depend on the good bacteria.
Good bacteria crowd out the bad and you will get sick much less often.
 
You know you are getting enough probiotic, when you pass gas and it doesn't smell.
Yes there are people whose s**t don't smell.
And they are healthier.
 

GMO isn't a car company.
I am quite skeptical of accepting hype and propaganda.  
Therefore, I do a lot of research before talking about something.
 
At this point, despite the over the top hype about Frankenfood and the like,
 
 
I am convinced that foods which are Genetically Modified, or contains a GMO (Genetically Modified Organism), are a safety and health concern, with a high enough probability of harm, not to take the risk of eating it.  Not all GMO are bad, such as the ones with medical applications, but the ones in the current food supply, that we eat, likely are.
 
Not only is there too high a risk that GMO can make you sick, but there is also a risk that they also may affect how your genes work, altering them to produce harmful substances or debilitate them, and the flaw can pass on to your children.  For more information look up Epigenetics, which is the study of heritable alterations in gene expression caused by mechanisms other than changes in DNA sequence.
 
Additionally, foods with the gene, resistant to Monsanto's Roundup pesticide, are over sprayed and you eat the pesticide.
It is a potent antibiotic and kills the bacteria in your gut that you need for digestion.
Meanwhile the resistant bacteria multiply in your gut and cause problems.
 
A GMO is not a hybrid where the best strains are identified (today with supercomputers sequencing the plant's genome) and allowed to cross pollinate.
A GMO is anything, in this case food, that has a foreign gene sequence (instructions to the cell) spliced into its own genes.
These spliced genes are passed on to the next generation of the food, and when consumed, has an effect on your health and can even affect your genetic structure.
Not to mention the economic and biological danger of terminator genes, that force farmers to buy new seeds every year. 
Seeds from these genetically-modified plants are not viable and therefore unable to produce future crop
 
The GMO plants are contaminating other fields of Non-GMO plants causing unwanted alterations to crops and even weeds, with over 60 million acres already affected.
 
Because the Supreme court allowed patenting of GMO, (which also accounts for the proliferation of GMO) this contamination, in our food crops, resulted in patent lawsuits, crop destruction, farm shutdowns and economic chaos in our farm sector.  In this heavily subsidized sector, how much of it is paid for by the taxpayers?  Not to mention that legal fees are passed on to the consumer in prices.
 
 
The main GMO culprits are Corn, Soy, Cotton(seed) and Canola.
These GMO can be found in almost everything, in the form of Corn syrup, sugar, vitamin ingredients, Soy lecithin, soy sauce, oil in snack foods, Meat/Poultry/dairy/eggs from animals that consume GMO food  etc.
The US does not require Labeling of GMO ingredients.
So be careful.

A cure for leukemia and perhaps other cancers

 
HIV, the virus that causes AIDS, with the dangerous parts removed, is perfectly designed to invade a cell and allow genetic engineers to reprogram it.
There will be many breakthroughs coming using this technique.  At the moment it looks like there is a successful treatment for Leukemia, even late stage, and possible other type of cancers too. 

There is a new tool that can tell in 2 seconds whether a surgeon is cutting cancer or normal cells during surgery

Latest news from Italy, US and London where the Gene therapy technique is being practiced successfully
 

 
Carl H. June, MD
Director, Translational Research Program; Richard W. Vague Professor in Immunotherapy, Department of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine, University of Pennsylvania Perelman School of Medicine, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania
 
Medscape: Adoptive immunotherapy, as I understand it, uses a patient's own genetically engineered T cells to treat leukemia in children and adults. Could you describe how the process works?
Dr. June: The protocol involves removing a patient's T cells and reprogramming them to attack tumor cells by genetically modifying them *
 
Medscape: What are the results to date of studies of the gene-transfer technology?
Dr. June: We have 3 phase 1 clinical trials that are ongoing: 2 at the University of Pennsylvania in adults with leukemia and 1 at Children's Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP) in children with leukemia. We are planning to extend these studies to other centers.
The first 2 studies include 12 adults with chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL), and thus far, 9 of the 12 have had good responses to the gene transfer treatment. We have just concluded the initial study, and the first patient we ever treated, in July 2010, remains in remission. Actually, 2 of the first 3 patients we treated remain in remission, demonstrating that the results are durable.
In the children's study, led by Dr. Stephan Grupp at CHOP, 4 of the first 5 children we have treated have had complete remissions.
 
Medscape: What are the characteristics of the patients who have received the treatment?
Dr. June: We were required by the FDA to initiate the treatment in adults; children were not treated until a year later. In both adults and children, the patients were "end of the line" with advanced leukemia and with no other proven therapeutic options that were available.
Our hope is that if the treatment is effective in patients with late-stage disease, we will be successful, eventually, using it upfront as first-line therapy. Perhaps we could arrive at a point where leukemia can be treated without chemotherapy. Gene transfer therapy with engineered T cells may be an alternative to allogeneic BMT, when BMT is the only resort at present. [BMT - bone marrow transplant]
However, there is still a subset of patients who have been transplanted and then relapse after allogeneic stem cell transplants, and because there is no proven treatment option in this setting, the technique may be useful in those patients as well.
One of the children with pre B-acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) in the phase 1 trial that I alluded to had relapsed after allogeneic BMT, and the CAR T cells induced a complete remission.
 
Medscape: What challenges remain in this treatment?
Dr. June: Dosage: Just as we would with other treatments, we need more experience. We don't know the optimal dose of T cells yet. This is more difficult to calculate than for drugs that are metabolized, because the genetically engineered T cells proliferate once they are re-infused into the patient. At the moment, it appears that we have to give a certain threshold number of T cells to the patient. A trial has just begun at the University of Pennsylvania, led by Dr. David Porter, who has been studying this approach in adults to identify the optimal dose.
We also don't know whether 1 treatment is enough to achieve remission. It may be that maintenance therapy is needed. We don't know yet whether the patients in remission will ever need another treatment. The answers to these questions related to delivery of treatment may be different in children vs adults.
[In my opinion these are minor challenges to a successful treatment]
 
Medscape: What is needed for FDA approval?  [this is always the major challenge]
Dr. June: There is no precedent for FDA approval, so we can only speculate. This would be the first cell-based gene transfer therapy for cancer, representing new ground at FDA. Thus, our main challenge is probably how to go about obtaining FDA approval.
...  Novartis made a major commitment, and now other biotechnology companies have expressed interest in investing in the technology as well.
I am optimistic that the recent industry investment will lead to the eventual widespread availability of the treatment on a broader scale. Our initial results have held up. Excellent results in the first 3 treated patients could have been a chance finding or a statistical fluke, but now we have treated 12 adults and 5 children and have continued to observe a potent activity of the treatment. Perhaps the most important finding is that the responses are durable.
 
Medscape: Do you envision using the genetically engineered T-cell treatment in cancers other than leukemia?
Dr. June: Early-stage pilot trials are being conducted in other cancers at the University of Pennsylvania, Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center, MD Anderson Cancer Center, Baylor College of Medicine, and the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Center. Animal models suggest that the treatment works in other cancers,[6] but we are in the very early days of learning whether it holds promise for non-B-cell blood cancers and other cancers in humans.
 
If you know someone that has Leukemia, and potentially other cancers, get them to a clinical trial at one of the centers mentioned above. 
You can find other clinical trials here:
 
My father died from late stage renal cancer for which there was no cure and no treatment at the time he was diagnosed. 
Had he been enrolled in a clinical trial, he might have been saved, as the particular trial, which I only found out about 3 weeks before his death, had a 40% success rate.
 
More technical details of the treatment.
*using an HIV-based lentivirus vector. The vector encodes an antibody-like protein fused to a cytosolic signaling domain, called a chimeric antigen receptor (CAR), which is expressed on the surface of the T cells and designed to bind to the CD19 protein.
When the T cells express the CD19 CAR, they kill cells in the patient's body that express CD19, which includes leukemia cells as well as normal B cells. The modified T cells do not interact with cells that do not express CD19, potentially limiting side effects caused by standard therapies. In addition, the binding of T cells to CD19 initiates the production of cytokines that trigger other T cells to multiply, creating a progressively larger army of T cells to destroy all the target cells in the tumor. Thus, in addition to an extensive capacity for self-replication, the CAR T cells could be called "serial killers."

You are Mesmerizing! - Take control of your own hypnosis.

Why do positive thinking, repeating affirmations or even meditation work?

Almost everyone feels silly saying "I am getting better in every way" or "I am smart, confident and good looking" or even "I am one with all the G-d is" when you know it isn't at all how you feel or how things are.

"What's the point" we say to ourselves.  And that is exactly the point.  What we say to ourselves.

We talk to ourselves all the time.  Stop and listen.  Change what you say to yourself and you change your life. 

You are in a trance state when you concentrate, when you watch TV, when you read, daydream etc.

Consequently. You are open to Hypnosis from Parents, Teachers, Media, Friends and repeating what they say to yourself. 

You can be the author of your life.  Just re-write your script.

The following is a great explanation by Clifford Mee.

We have all enjoyed a good story about the
'dark side of hypnosis', a suspenseful tale
of assassination, murder, love gone wrong
or revenge.

The 'dark side of hypnosis' is a
common theme among books, movies and
television, but is there truly a
'dark side' of hypnosis?

In a way there is, however the
'dark side' of hypnosis is much more
common and mundane than the entertainment
industry would lead you to believe.

In fact the entertainment industry
is as much a part of the 'dark side' of
hypnosis as any other means in our society.

As you have probably learned, hypnosis
is a natural and common occurrence in your
everyday life.

For the most part you are constantly
flowing in and out of hypnotic trances
daily, without realizing them.

Many times you are hypnotized quite
by accident and these instances are
generally harmless and well intentioned.

Other times trances are projected upon
you very purposefully,

They are designed to drive you to buy,
sell or do something you may not normally
desire to do.

The main culprits of purposeful hypnosis
you may not be aware of are the media,
news, government and advertising, as
well as other people's opinions.

If you take a moment to imagine a time
when there was no television, you may
picture a farm family with no more
possessions than they needed, maybe a
candle burning for light and a fire
to cook their food by.

They may appear to be happy in the
world they have created for themselves
without the influence of a television
constantly projecting the 'needs' of
everyday life.

If you compare this to today's home
life where most televisions are on at
almost every hour of the day, a very
different reality takes place.

You are being influenced everyday
by thousands of messages targeted
directly to persuade you to purchase
bigger, nicer, better and more
convenient items.

GPS takes the place of maps, disposable
diapers instead of cloth and television
recorders give you the ability to never
miss a single hypnotic message on TV.

Most advertising is created very
purposefully, their objective and
business is to influence you to buy
an item, one you may be persuaded
to think you really need.

In being persuaded to buy a new car,
when your current vehicle runs fine and
may only need a good washing, you are
not improving the self from within, you
are using a material object to make yourself
feel better about your status in life.

The news is just as abusive in its
power to influence your life, news is no
longer about bringing new events into
your life.

It is now about driving you to
watch the news.

And then to watch the advertising in
between the news bulletins.

News by definition is supposed to
report recent events, intelligence
and information.

However I am sure you realize by
now the news is really about catching
our general interests.

And the easiest way to do that is
to prey on our basic fears...

Murder, war, rape, financial instability,
disease; the list is endless.

Good news would be much too repetitive
and boring day after day; the sun rose, Joe
had a great day at work and his partner
managed to stay sane while caring for
their three children.

The story you will hear on the news
however is Joe went to work, there was
a terrorist attack and his partner could
no longer manage the children so she
drowned them in the bath tub.

The danger of this dark side of hypnosis
is it can often create a false impression
of the world we live in.

Sure it's important to know when bad
things happen and to educate yourself
to prevent them.

What is dangerous is to think that
everyday the 'news' is all that is
happening in our world.

Joe and his family above definitely
had a bad day no doubt about it, but
there were millions and millions of
other families that had perfectly
normal happy days as well.

Little Jimmy got an A, Sally learned
to do a cartwheel, Mom kept the grocery
bill under $200.00 and Dad experienced
a rewarding day at work and came home
an hour early.

The news no longer gives you an
accurate representation of the world
in which you live.

Hypnosis is powerful and it's
important to realize these dangers
in a world that is so prevalent with
hidden messages and suggestion.

How do you compensate and keep a
sane and realistic view of life?

Take action in your own mind,
choose what you believe, pay attention
to the things that are happening around you.

The easiest way not to fall victim
to the 'dark side of hypnosis' or to break
negative hypnotic messages is to think
rationally, critically, and originally.

Know who you are and do not be a
stranger to skepticism.

Skepticism allows you to make your
own decisions about what you take in
as your true beliefs in life.

Analyzing and ridiculing information

messages and protect your mind from
the all prevailing general pessimism that
is designed to get you to act in other
peoples interests.

100 million year old insurance salesman found!
http://www.icr.org/article/fossilized-gecko-fits-creation-model/

A fossil of a gecko 100 million years old preserved in amber has been found.

Being the oldest fossil ever found, it proves that the oldest profession in the world is sales of government employee insurance (Geico) not prostitution.
Although these two professions are intimately related.  Sex sells.
On a more serious note, as the article above points out and as my son just defined for me so-called Evolution is really just Adaptation.
Evolution postulates random mutation and best trait selection due to environmental factors leading to one species gradually evolving into another (e.g. apes into hominids and then into Humans). However nowhere in the fossil record has an intermediate or transitional species or missing link ever been found.
In fact this newly discovered fossil shows that after 100 million years a Gecko is still a Gecko. The gecko has not "evolved" to another species.
In addition the incredible sticky haired toes were already present in the fossil.
If Evolution by chance is true and a 100 million years can go by with no significant changes in those toes, how long would it have taken for those sticky haired toes to evolve by chance in the first place? If you guessed billions of times longer than our universe has existed, you would be correct. This points to a major hole in the theory of Evolution by Chance. There just isn't enough time for the incredible designs to have occurred during the lifetime of this universe (15 billion years). From whence comes the design if not by chance?
Evolutionists say Aliens from outer space (Panspermia) and Creationists say G-d.

Perhaps we can all agree that something transcendent to us did it and ponder the implications.

I suck and you don't. I hate you

Racism is a symptom. The cause is hating oneself. The cause is Fear and Jealousy. Prejudice is based on the invalid judgement of comparing yourself to someone else. People put down and hate what they feel is a threat; not just physical but even to the thought pattern we call ego. There can only be a threat if you perceive yourself as weaker; a "Loser". Only the weak and the "losers" hate.

Only people that hate who they are, can hate someone else. We love our neighbor to the extent that we love ourselves.

In my "hood" the Italian "Yutes" would gather together with lead pipes and go beat up the "Brothers" (Of course they used the N word). Practically speaking that is racism but the root is penis envy.

That's right, they were afraid that the cool Brothers had bigger swords and they would lose control of "their" women. They hated the Brothers because they were losers in comparison. They wanted to be cool too. They were Jealous. The problem is that the comparison is invalid! If you want something that another person has you must be willing to become that person. You can't just pick out a trait it comes in a context. You must take on that context too.

If you want the wealth someone has, you must be willing to go through what they went through. If you steal the wealth you will not be happy with it because you did not accumulate the wisdom and the maturity that comes from earning it.

Taking what you haven't earned usually poisons a person. You know that you haven't earned it and that it can just as easily be taken away. You are still living in fear.

Only if you are secure with yourself can you love another.

Again the solution comes from the individual. Society can help at the local level through family and community. Conversely society can breed this self hatred that we then project on others.

Racism is Fear and Jealousy.

Blacks (and guilt-ridden Whites) hate Whites because they are taught that the Whites have the power and the poor Blacks are victims with no hope. Whites secretly hate them. They want what the White has but can't get it because they are Black in America and the odds are stacked against them. They lash out against Whitey out of fear and jealousy.
Their only out is to gain power or take over society and take the wealth Whitey is holding back from them. A Black President is a good start. Taxing the rich who are predominantly White and redistributing their wealth to the Blacks who are predominantly poor isn't stealing it's reparations.

But those who haven't earned wealth nor developed wisdom and maturity become prisoners of an entitlement and victim mentality and pass the hate on to their children. A brotherhood of anger, hate and fear.

The longest running and most insidious racism and prejudice is Jew hatred. Everyone hates the Jews because they are taught that the Jews are rich, control and hoard the world's wealth and are loved by G-d more than anyone else. Were you ever jealous that your sibling or friend or classmate got more attention than you? Did you feel like a loser and hate them or get depressed. Did you put them down behind their back or in your mind? Imagine how much of a loser you are compared to the rich, all powerful, spiritually superior JEW! Damn even I'm getting angry! Imagine the hatred if you can never be as good as the Jew in G-D's eye. Of course it's a distortion but don't you think and feel that way? Don't you know someone that thinks and feels that way? Why has this myth perpetuated so long?

How do you fix it? Get right with yourself then teach and preach by word and example!

In the beginning

G-d said to Adam "I am going to create for you such a wife!

She wil be a woman who will cook for you, clean for you and wake you every morning with scrumptious baked goodies.

She'll listen raptly to your every word and will never interrupt or contradict you.

She will let you guide her and support you in everything you do.

And making love hoo boy!
She will create scenarios that will make you harder than Pharoh's heart and the envy of that sneaky tree snake".

Adam: "What's the catch? What will this perfect woman cost me"?

G-d: "An arm and a leg."

Adam: "Hmm...what can I get for a rib"?

Human Evolution is Junk Science

There are apes and chimps and Humans with no link between them.

There are no Human ancestors in the fossil record only Homonids.

Humans evolving from Apes or monkeys is a claim made with the assumption that scientists will eventually find evidence.

It's like claiming that you should be treated like royalty and not to worry the records will be found someday.

It's a scam.

George Washington Spoke Hebrew

Translations of the Five books of Moses are inaccurate and misleading. That is why the Pentateuch was studied in Hebrew (see the Hebrew mottos of Harvard and Yale) until secularists empowered themselves with Darwin's flawed theory and threw out Biblical study in Hebrew.

However the Oral transmission, Kabbalah revelations, our insight and even scientific discoveries are fruits of the seeds planted in our reality by Moses interface with YHVH and come out over time. They are all integral to the understanding and interpretation of the Hebrew itself and should not be ignored.

The Rabbis used all of the sources to codify Jewish Law which is not the Torah. It is the Halacha or how to walk the walk of the talk in the Torah.

Let's differentiate between the Torah scroll and the Masoretic written text that contains vowels and annotations.

The original authentic letter for letter text of the Torah scroll is unchanged by the Rabbis from Moses' original. The Rabbis did not add or subtract or re-position any letters. All they did in the scroll was to add white space for easier reading, put in certain symbols which aren't read and altered the text size of certain letters and the layout of passages that have particular hidden significance.

The order of the letters, each dictated directly to Moses when he interfaced with YHVH must be preserved exactly because the Torah contains encoded messages revealed through numerical exposition. For instance the first 42 letters of Genesis reveal the cosmology and age of our Universe. Over a thousand years ago we wrote down that the universe has been in existence for approx 15 billion years which was only recently known to science. We also parsed the most exact calculation for the Lunar calendar (Eventually revealed by Hillel) centuries before science and before NASA satellites confirmed the Torah encoded result as the most accurate.
For non Torah Scroll use, the Masoretic scholars put in writing what was until then the Oral tradition which preserved pronunciation, cantillation and how to read and interpret certain passages (Such as "to him" rather than "not". FYI this appears three times in the Pentateuch) etc.

A lot of information can be gleaned from the Hebrew text only. What words are used, how they are used etc. However the oral and Kabbalistic are also important and in fact are the hidden (In time) portion of the text of the Torah scroll. Revelation there leads to further understanding and revelations of the Scroll text.

As science discovers more it helps us understand the Torah and the Torah then reveals more science.

For instance: the quest for messages encoded in the Hebrew letters of the Pentateuch led Blaise Pascal the French Mathematician to develop the mathematics of probability and statistics. Pursuit of the Torah codes led to understanding Cryptography which led to the development of the computer to break the WWII cryptographic codes.
Now that we have the computer, patterns that were too time consuming to decrypt can be decoded.

Even the authenticity of the Torah can now be confirmed using statistics and probability mathematics. (Full circle, such a coincidence :-). There is a statistically significant profusion of messages chronicling births, deaths and events that had not yet occurred in Moses time which points to an intelligence outside of time.

Quantum mechanics tells us that all possibilities exist but we choose the ones that become reality. All possibilities must exist for us to have free choice. However the Universe doesn't fly apart due to our lousy choices so there is also an intelligence maintaining a certain base pattern and order.

The Torah codes contain all the possibilities for future events just as the universe does. However we only find the one that corresponds with what we know. Once we make a choice that influences which reality manifests it guides which dates or names we search for.
The Torah codes are of limited use for predicting the future. We don't know what to look for and even if we find something that possibility not be the one that is actualized by our free choices.
However in some cases we may be able to predict the most likely possibilities.

Where G-d influences a certain set of events (Such as Exodus from Egypt or the coming of Messiah) we have some choice but the outcome is strongly fixed in time/space. (B'Yad Chazakah) (Yad is positioning in space and time which is why Yad is used as the root of hand, near and causality) With a Quantum Computer that uses the many possible states of sub atomic particles that exist at the same time the entire coded message of the Torah may be revealed.
