Poison your Mitochondria with Pharmaceuticals

We poison our mitochondria with drugs we buy over the counter or get by prescription as a matter of
routine. Our doctors, medical organizations and governmental organizations believe they are doing us
a favor poisoning people with dangerous drugs and complain bitterly when we self-administer safe
ones like medical marijuana and sodium bicarbonate. Most medical studies are ridiculously wrong and
seriously misleading. It is a fact that all studies are biased and flawed in their own unique ways and
have led to the creation of a form of medicine that just does not work at all to cure people of their
diseases.

My 77 year old mother is in Florida. In April she was diagnosed with Breast Cancer and had one breast
removed in addition to a few lymph nodes. She finished Chemo and was about to finally start radiation
2 days ago and was told she now has bone cancer. The doctor who is treating her said he used your
book on his father and it worked miracles. Now my 81 year old father is obsessed with your book
Sodium Bicarbonate Rich Man Poor Mans Cancer Treatment. My father has asked me to get him
your book, and Im happy to do so.

In Medical Express we read of their surprise that tetracycline-based antibiotics have an unexpected
effect on the development of many organisms. Unexpected? It is no secret that most drugs are
mitochondrial poisons. The Medical Express essay points out that not only are doctors poisoning us but
that these antibiotics are widely administrated to livestock and that there are serious issues of soil
pollution by these antibiotics. In 2011, 5.6 million kg of tetracycline was administered to US livestock. A
study showed that nearly half of the 210 kg of antibiotics produced in China in 2007 were tetracyclines
for veterinary use.

Suffocating Mitochondria

A study published in the scientific journal Cell Reports, calls for caution when using this family of
antibiotics because they are suffocating the mitochondria of a wide range of organisms. The authors of
the study said that the effects were huge. "After several days of treatment with high doses of
doxycycline, mitochondrial respiration was visibly altered. More surprising still, the consequences were
observed all the way down the food chain, from mammals to flies to nematode worms to plants.

Damage to mitochondria is now understood to play a role in the pathogenesis of a wide range of
seemingly unrelated disorders such as schizophrenia, bipolar disease, dementia, Alzheimers disease,
epilepsy, migraine headaches, strokes, neuropathic pain, Parkinsons disease, ataxia, transient
ischemic attack, cardiomyopathy, coronary artery disease, chronic fatigue syndrome, fibromyalgia,
retinitis pigmentosa, diabetes, hepatitis C, and primary biliary cirrhosis. Medications have now
emerged as a major cause of mitochondrial damage, which may explain many adverse effects. All
classes of psychotropic drugs have been documented to damage mitochondria, as have statin
medications, analgesics such as acetaminophen, and many others.[1]

The bacterial cells in our body outnumber the human cells ten to one. Additionally, within each
eukaryotic (human) cell in our body, there are many (hundreds in many cells) mitochondria ancient
bacteria that got absorbed into non-bacterial cells and formed eukaryotic cells. Bacteria are an
important, vital part of us. Bacteria affect every aspect of human health, including immune system
regulation, digestion, personality, etc. Disturbances in the make-up of the microbiome has been
connected with multiple chronic diseases, including Parkinsons Disease, Alzheimers Disease,
diabetes, autism, autoimmune diseases, etc.

The assumption that doctors make is that antibiotics are safe drugs, that they damage bacteria but
leave people and animals unharmed. How wrong can they possibly be? People assume that bacteria
are bad, that they are harmful and make us sick, and that human life is improved when they are killed.
Many also assume that all antibiotics are created equally and that the more powerful an antibiotic, the
better. Most people assume that there are no long-term consequences from taking antibiotics. Doctors
should know better and pediatricians in particular should be avoided because first they disturb
childrens systems with vaccines and then try to mop up the medical problems they have caused
(recurring infections) with repeated administration of antibiotics. Though my free Ebook The Terror of
Pediatric Medicine is about vaccines, it could easily have included many chapters on antibiotics and
their abusive use on children.

Table of Reported Drugs with Mitochondrial Toxicity

Many articles about how fluoroquinolones damage mitochondria, which then leads to mitochondrial
dysfunction, have been published. In Science Translational Medicine, Bactericidal Antibiotics Induce
Mitochondrial Dysfunction and Oxidative Damage in Mammalian Cells, it is noted that bactericidal
antibiotics, including ciprofloxacin, a fluoroquinolone, damage mammalian tissues by triggering
mitochondrial release of reactive oxygen species (ROS).What can we possibly say about a
professional field (medicine) that still uses fluoroquinolones, which have been reported repeatedly to
have horrendous side effects?

Obviously mitochondrial function needs to be supported, not impeded but that is just too difficult for the
medical establishment, addicted to the use of mitochondrial poisons, to understand. Dr. Katherine Sims
from Bostons Massachusetts General Hospital explains why identifying potential toxic agents from
medications to environmental factors is an essential part of managing mitochondrial disease. Dr. Sims
says that establishing mitochondrial toxicity is not an FDA requirement for drug approval , so
there is no real way of knowing which agents are truly toxic. Her list of mitochondrial toxic agents
include:

Anticonvulsants

Psychotropic Drugs

Cholesterol Medications

Analgesics and Anti-inflammatories

Aspirin and the NSAIDS

Antiobiotics (specifically tetracycline, minocycline, chloramphenical, and Aminoglycosides

Steroids

Anesthesia

Surgery

Environmental Agents

Endogenous Stress Related Hormones

Here in Brazil, doctors are completely against safe antibiotics (iodine) and in the United States and the
rest of the world, it is not much better. Most doctors today are concerned about antibiotic resistant
infections, which are a global threat that are killing more and more people each year. Drug resistant
tuberculosis is an alarming problem that cost a fortune to treat with newer drugs that hardly work.
There are safer Nano treatments. Infection control in the 21st Century needs to look for natural
answers since the pharmaceuticals do little more than poison people setting up worse problems for the
future. There is no shortage of safer answers including using infrared technology that increases core
body temperature, which gives the immune system an incredible boost. Low body temperature is a hot
house for infections and that is why our body comes up with a fever to fight.

Conclusion

"We all need to understand that with drug companies and doctors, lying is a matter of policy. They are
trying to lead you to where they want you to be by using all their fear-based tactics. Because they make
huge amounts of money on talking you into chemo and radiation, both of which destroys your immune
system, the human body, does not cure anybody of anything, thus killing you off as fast as possible.
Medical doctors are turning healthy people into patients," writes Dr. Russ Newman.
