Short introduction: Smile I've been a member of the sandwich generation since my dad died 5 days after my first child was born, leaving me taking care of my disabled mother. That was 11 years ago. Now she's in a nursing home and I still do errands and paperwork for her and for her aunt.

I'm now a college student doing an internship with an organization that studies family issues, including finding the latest research and doing press releases. May is older American's month, and I'm looking for ideas for topics to research. There's a chance it could end up in your local media outlet.

I'd love to hear your opinions on what you think are important issues, what would you like to see more attention to or research on? Emails are great, but a discussion here might spark ideas for other people as well.


Thank you so much, this looks like a great site, I wish I'd known about it a couple of years ago when a shady nursing home was putting me through hell. But that's another story... Wink

I too started researching some items and thought you might want to see this too below:
A very brief history as to why I started research was due to the fact that my Dad had brain/bone cancer and my Mom Parkinson's dimenta. At the time, Dad started blood transfusions and needed blood every seven days, until we put Dad on a plant based food supplement and took him off all the other stuff he had on his shelves. Within days, Dad called to say his fever was going up and when he urinated, it was brown. I told Dad that it may be a detox and if the fever went up over 103, then take something. He did not need blood for weeks after this until he was talked into chemo. We figured the brown was oil from the oil company where he worked or from the radiation - with detox. Anyway, in my searching, the following may be a big eye opener.

I already know most of this forum know about Parkinson's and Lipitor etc because of the latest news. Anyway, about cancer....this is what I found so far.

If you go to the Cancer Research Institute web site at http://www.cancerresearch.org/aboutus.aspx?id=206 you will see Dr. Coley's discovery was working and not until the institute received money from the Rockefeller's did the research on his discovery stop.

The next web site will also be an eye opener as it shows the research and includes that by 1953, all production of Coley's toxins stopped in the US. See http://cancerguide.org/coley.html Please note the breast cancer was 100% cure rate!!!

Then continuing to research I found the following article:
The End of Plant-based Medicine
Around the beginning of the last century, Rockefeller and Carnegie obtained control over medical school education through the use of the Flexner Report which was written by Henry Pritchett, who was in the employ of Rockefeller. This report rated medical schools and strongly favored only the medical schools that concentrated on using drug-based treatments. These schools started to receive large amounts of money from Rockefeller and Carnegie. In 1905, 160 medical schools were in operation. By 1927, 17 years after the Flexner Report, the number had dropped to 80. Nearly all the schools that taught plant based medicine were gone. From then on, pharmaceutical company control of medical school curriculum's was assured by the large amounts of money they would "give" to the schools for approved research. That research of course was approved or disapproved by the pharmaceutical companies. Only research that would lead to treatments that could be patented received approval. That eliminated any treatments derived from plants.

You might imagine why there is so much negative news and hate toward the recent discoveries from companies with plant based products (even network marketing - which Dad was taking) because the discovery could impact so many lives at a cost to so many institutions set on drug therapy. I now understand because what would they print in the news? New Discovery - God really did make your body to heal itself with the right ingredients.

But then what is going on today. A friend brought me the future of foods video and after watching how we have for years eaten GE Foods with bacteria put right into each gene, as Americans we have to ask ourselves, would a drug company like Monsanto really care if people were to become sick? Would they not make a great deal more money from that fact.

Then research how these foods ended up on the shelves in our stores. Monsanto employees would go to work for the FDA until passed.

I did not intend to find what I found but after doing so, my cry has to be Oh Lord help us.
