Surviving Depop

As knowledge of covert methods of depopulation spreads, people are becoming increasingly concerned about protecting their health and especially their offspring and are desperately searching for a single, clear and simple source they can trust and follow.


That source is now available in the form of a 168-page guide that covers all aspects of the Global Depopulation Policy and provides solutions on how to avoid the chemical and biological toxins deliberately inserted in our food, water, beverages, home and consumer products by our own governments, the UN system and the military-industrial complex for the sake of stopping population growth by damaging our reproductive and immune systems so as to control life at both ends, by limiting births and increasing deaths as and when needed from country to country.


This guide, entitled “Surviving Depop”, gives everyone the knowledge necessary to survive the global depopulation genocide and is now available free of charge to the readers of Natural News courtesy of its author, Kevin Galalae.


Download it without delay and start applying the knowledge contained therein as though your life depended on it…because it does!


Surviving Depop provides protection against depopulation toxins inserted in water, beverages, food, medicines, body products, cookware, clothing, furniture, toys, detergents, carpets, as well as against depopulation by chemtrails, WiFi radiation, tobacco, alcohol and narcotics.


The information contained therein is forbidden fruit and represents the most closely guarded secrets of the international order since 1945 when the UN was created to globalize the methods of population control pioneered by religious authorities and developed and concealed over the centuries.


The secrets revealed in this guide go back much further than 1945.  For instance, the adulteration of alcohol with thujone, the active sterilizing ingredient in absinthe, started in 1840 in Switzerland and France and soon spread over the entire European continent.  To date, many alcoholic drinks contain this sterilizant, among them Pernod Absinthe, St. George Absinthe Verte, Vieux Carré Absinthe, Pastis, Ouzo (the national drink of Greece), Raki (the national drink of Turkey), Sambuca (an Italian national drink), Herbsaint (a popular drink in New Orleans), and many brands of vodka from both Russia and Scandinavian countries.


This guide also offers free access to eight books and dozens of educational videos that provide the necessary context to understanding the history, scope and scale of the depopulation program.  Together with the books and audio-visual material provided in its introductory pages this guide also elucidates the origins and reasons as well as the causes and consequences of the depopulation program and in so doing unravels the very nature of the deep state along with its actors and grand objectives.


The author encourages the public to share it widely with family and friends and to ask them in turn to disseminate it further as that is the best way to accelerate the demise of the depopulation genocide and the adoption of population control legislation so that henceforth the task of limiting human life on the planet to a level the planet can tolerate becomes the people’s responsibility and covert methods can cease before they spell the end of the vast majority of our genetic lineages and in the process condemn us to lives of chronic illness and a vastly reduced quality of life and life expectancy.


The wide dissemination of this guide will provide impetus to behind the scenes efforts to eliminate endocrine disruptors/depopulation poisons from our food system and environment, for as consumer habits change industry will see the elimination of these biocidal chemicals and toxins as being in their own economic interest.


Ultimately, this guide lends you the power to save not only your own life but countless other lives and to ensure the very survival of mankind.

People who once had a slim chance of surviving childhood will add to care crisis | Amelia Hill

The health and social care system is not only struggling to meet the care needs of our ageing population, it is completely unprepared for the consequences of looking after growing numbers of older people with extremely complex health problems. That’s the conclusion of Karen Lowton, a professor of sociology at the University of Sussex who specialises in ageing and health.


Whereas 40 years ago a child born with cystic fibrosis, severe congenital heart defect or Down’s syndrome had a slim chance of surviving childhood, let alone reaching adulthood, now there are more adults than children living with these conditions. In addition, people with HIV are also growing older. This is a “remarkable testament” to advances in medicine, says 49-year-old Lowton. But she warns that these success stories are set to create another crisis for an already stretched social care system, as this diverse group of people’s care needs increase with age.


“As these individuals grow older they will experience even more health problems,” she says. “And because no one has reached old age with these conditions before, many of the health and psychological problems they will face are impossible to predict or prepare for.”


Although the Cystic Fibrosis Trust has a national database of UK patients, there are hardly any other national patient registers for these groups. This means it is difficult to know exactly how many people will require lifetime specialist care and exactly what care they will need.


What is certain, adds Lowton, is that even more people will require in-patient and outpatient care from specialist health services as survival ages increase, not only for physical but also mental health; depression and anxiety are common features of these conditions for adults. “Although clinicians are broadly aware of the challenges to come, none of the clinical services are prepared for the increase in demand and increasing complexity that these now-adult conditions will bring.”


A 40-year-old with cystic fibrosis will need to spend additional time taking more medicines and treatments not only for their cystic fibrosis but also for the health conditions that arise from it such as osteoporosis and cystic fibrosis-related diabetes. They may require a lung transplant as their disease progresses.


An adult with a severe congenital heart defect is likely to experience complications such as arrhythmias and heart failure.


An older adult with Down’s syndrome will need to have a plan for their future as their parents age and become less able to support them. Those living in supported accommodation are likely to need increased support from social services as they grow older, which may involve a move into a care home. And they have a higher risk of Alzheimer’s disease and of developing symptoms at an earlier age.


A person growing older with HIV may experience longer-term side effects from their medication, as well as symptoms of chronic illness at a younger age than the general population. Many older HIV-positive people live alone with little family support and few financial resources.


“I think the key difficulty for providing proper health services for these ‘new’ ageing populations in adulthood is that our definition of success in this context is so focused on the short-term,” says Lowton. “The current crisis in the NHS reflects our concerns about patients’ immediate care needs rather than considering what our health and social care services will also require in the future in order to care for patients.


“We are unwilling or, perhaps, incapable – due to our parliamentary cycles and the current government’s ethos of austerity – of looking ahead to see what type of support, intervention and care these ‘new’ ageing populations will need, and how we, as a society, can provide it.”


Lowton says there is little recognition at the Department of Health of their long-term medical and social wellbeing. “The £22bn hole in the NHS’s finances doesn’t bode well for these ‘new’ ageing populations with their expensive-to-treat, lifelong conditions,” she says.


It’s impossible to say how much these conditions could add to the social care bill, because we don’t yet have a good idea of exactly how many ‘new’ ageing populations there are growing older, Lowton explains.


“We also don’t know how health in later life will be experienced, although it is likely that people will experience even more complex conditions as they grow older. Whatever the cost, these populations will be a substantial addition to the current health and social care bill,” she adds.


So what should be done? Lowton cites a number of ways to help to mitigate some of the issues, including ongoing and regular clinical oversight, more support for mental health, more resources for specialist adult clinics, more knowledge and skills training for carers, and more support for families who help to care for these adults.


“The need for care in adult life is a problem that most professionals working in the health and social care fields acknowledge, although to date there has been little development of innovative care solutions for these ageing groups,” she says.


“Worryingly, these groups are now being pitted against each other when funding for new treatments is considered.” For example, NHS England’s response to the judicial ruling that it should fund pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) for people at risk of HIV was that it would be at the expense of funding other treatments such as ivacaftor, a novel personalised medicine for children with cystic fibrosis.


What we must not do, says Lowton, is to lay the problem of increasing care costs at the feet of the people who experience these types of conditions or to think that meeting their care needs is utopian. “Life is tough enough for them as it is,” she says. “As a society we need to appreciate that the significant resources we invest in these ‘new’ ageing populations at the beginning of their lives need to be sustained throughout adult life and into old age.


“We do need to support the scientists who focus on finding a cure, but we also need to support all these adults for whom a cure will come too late.”

Surviving Beijing"s pollution even though pregnant: "I truly feel like a rab-rat"

“It’s like taking a deep breath depth in the mountains,” says Xiaoxia Liu in her 15th floor apartment on the north side of the Beijing, “I was shocked to find out air could come to feel so clean in this city!”


Could she actually be referring to the Beijing air, infamous for its off-the-chart pollution levels? Yes, but only when filtered by means of a respirator, the sort you see builders sporting on a development sites to hold out the asbestos.


Xiaoxia, a 27-yr-outdated investment banker with a Masters degree from the United kingdom, who lived in London for above a yr, is nudging to me to throw away my disposable facemask in favour for her heavy-duty respirator. She’s appropriate, provided latest reviews revealing that light masks such as mine – in spite of offering in booming numbers and being touted as efficient against the hazardous microparticle PM two.five – are in fact rather ineffective at filtering dangerous pollutants.


She demonstrates how powerful her breathing gear is, showing me prior to and soon after photographs of the filters – blanche white and then mousy grey respectively – soon after a mere month of usage outdoors.


As someone who grew up in Beijing in the 1990s myself, the deterioration in air top quality there is startling – blue skies were after the norm. Not currently being capable to see past a particular developing in the distance is now today’s actuality, however, with readings based mostly on the Air Quality Index (AQI) skyrocketing beyond 500 on the worst-hit days, more than 20 times the level set by the WHO. But the variation in how it probably influences us is stark – Xiaoxia is eight months pregnant.


The obvious pre-birth glow on her encounter hardly ever will get a public displaying. “When the air is polluted and the AQI is high, I place on my respirator ahead of leaving property in the morning, wearing it on the underground or in the cab to function,” she says. Although she utilised to get lazy with the mask, it is now obligatory on far more than half the days every single month. “I have to be responsible for the infant,” she says.

The risks of large pollution amounts for pregnant females are probably substantial. A variety of international studies have indicated hazards to young children whose mothers are exposed to high amounts of pollutants at pregnancy, contain lower birth fat and extended-term impacts on intelligence.


Xiaoxia says that she genuinely only grew to become aware of the dangers of Beijing air right after amounts in January 2013 reached unprecedented highs and have been reported on each house and abroad. Because then, the wellness implications have become extensively disseminated in China by means of the media and between friends on social networks.


As a banker doing work in the upscale Guomao or “World Trade” district of the city – the equivalent of Canary Wharf in London – Xiaoxia counts firmly as one particular of China’s urban “middle-class”. At work she can breathe easy, becoming a single of the quite few in China to have filtered air provided to her workplace by means of a central air-purifying technique. At property even so, Xiaoxia relies on her air purifier, which she says goes with her to whichever space she’s in.


“I am fairly severe in how seriously I consider air pollution,” she says, referring to the truth that regardless of the dangers posed, the vast majority of individuals in Beijing don’t get measures. As a pupil who studied in the Uk for 3 years, Xiaoxia says Beijing’s “uninhabitable environment” at first needed a considerable time period of adjustment, which includes obtaining over the “Beijing cough”, common to several who re-enter.

As a fellow Beijing resident myself, I occasionally count the frequency of mask wearers in the city on heavy smog days, and it is constantly much less than a single in 10. Several mothers will also consider their babies for a stroll in the course of a single of the city’s “airpocalypses”, of which Xiaoxia has presently experienced three bouts given that the beginning of her pregnancy.


“The week of significant pollution that just passed was notably challenging, given that we couldn’t open the windows for so prolonged I was thinking about purchasing an oxygen generator as it have to be so unhealthy to have CO2 circulating the apartment,” she says.


For Xiaoxia’s husband, the windows and doors have grow to be a niggling predicament – “I wake up dithering about no matter whether it is secure to allow the outdoors air in,” he says. He bases his decision on the see out of the window each and every morning.


“Sometimes I feel like a lab-rat in this surroundings,” says Xiaoxia. She thinks her rigorous response to pollution is influenced by her time in London, which was “a comparison for just how clean the air could be”. Asked if she has intentions to leave Beijing, she says that the couple’s jobs are important considerations, but that the main ties to the city were her mother and father, who by standard standards should stay close but she wouldn’t rule out leaving, should problems right here continue to be unchanged.

How does the household propose to hold the infant wholesome? Xiaoxia is frank: “I really do not intend to get the baby out when it is polluted there are always clear days to take the infant out for sunshine”. She says she wouldn’t agree with sport lessons in school throughout polluted days, calling this kind of activities “inhumane”.


The imagined of such life-altering limits for a kid are alarming for somebody like me who invested copious amounts of time enjoying outside. Such restrictions would have completely modified my childhood in Beijing.


“If the pollution was poor outside, I would ask my youngster to dress in a mask, to college at least – I really don’t know how he’d truly feel about that as it looks odd,” Xiaoxia says, laughing at the imagined.


Until finally the skies clear up in Beijing, Xiaoxia is sticking firmly to her respirator, which she says has been met with ridicule and unusual appears, but she does not care. She has also observed attitudes changing in the past 12 months: whereas most individuals wore disposable masks, increasingly much more are going for the severe or far more “functional” sorts as she calls it. “And it is considerably much more cozy than the lightweight versions – you’ll come to feel the big difference when you take it off.”


For the foreseeable potential, it’s status quo for Xiaoxia and her household the place air is concerned, but she hopes factors will change. “I’m doing the most I can to make certain I breathe clean air, but if you want to stay in this city, you have to endure the environment – there is no way out”.

Don’t be concerned about forging these friendships on day one particular, they do just come about. Health care colleges realize how essential it is for college students to bond and the college will have a medical society (MedSoc). This is run by college students who organise events, sports teams and nights out to help absolutely everyone to get to know each other. These nights out are beneficial at very first to support you get in excess of any awkward conversations in lectures.


Have a stability network.


Saying this, do not underestimate the significance of getting non-medic friends. Lifestyle in health-related college can be intense at times. Remember, there is a world outside of cadavers and pathology and at instances you will truly want a slice of it.


You’ve put other interests on your private statement so make confident you place them into practice – get concerned in as numerous pursuits and societies as feasible and preserve your interests broad. A successful physician is one that has an understanding of the large broad planet.


Get the workload in bite sized chunks.

Surviving A Heart Attack: Spot And Time Make A Massive Distinction

Two studies published this week offer fresh proof that your life could rely on exactly where and when you have a heart attack.


one. Heart assault individuals in the United Kingdom are far more most likely to die than heart assault patients in Sweden, in accordance to a research published in the Lancet. Researchers in Sweden and the Uk analyzed information from practically 120,000 Swedish sufferers and 400,000 United kingdom individuals who had heart attacks in between 2004 and 2010. The thirty day charge of death was considerably greater in the United kingdom than in Sweden: ten.5% vs 7.6%. The researchers then took into account variations amongst the patient groups in every country by adjusting for 17 variables identified to effect on mortality and found that patients in the Uk still had an increased danger of death (standardized mortality ratio: 1.37, CI 1.30-one.45). This enhanced chance, they calculated, might have resulted in eleven,263 excess deaths more than the 7 many years of the study.


Amid numerous variations between Sweden and the Uk, the researchers focused on two differences in treatment method that may aid account for the big difference. Major PCI (the fast insertion of a stent to open the blocked artery) was utilized in 59% of individuals in Sweden but only 22% in the United kingdom and beta-blockers had been utilized in 89% of sufferers in Sweden versus 78% in the United kingdom.


“Our findings are a trigger for concern,” said a single of the authors, Harry Hemingway, of University College London in the Uk, in a Lancet press release. ”The uptake and use of new technologies and efficient treatments advised in suggestions has been far faster in Sweden. This has contributed to large differences in the management and outcomes of patients.”


2. Heart attack individuals are far more likely to die if they attain the hospital at evening or on the weekends, according to a research published in the BMJ. Mayo Clinic Mayo Clinic researchers analyzed information from 1.9 million heart attack individuals and found that short phrase mortality was six% greater when patients arrived at the hospital in the course of off hours. Individuals with huge STEMI heart attacks were 60% significantly less very likely to undergo PCI inside 90 minutes if they arrived during off hours.


The authors compose that these differences are very likely linked to the shifting availability at various instances of cardiologists and cardiac catheterization laboratory assistance employees, since several hospitals do not run a 24-hour service and may need to activate the catheterization lab throughout off hrs. In an accompanying editorial, Lauren Lapointe-Shaw and Chaim Bell compose that “managers searching for to improve their hospital’s functionality for patients with acute myocardial infarction need to focus on improving their off-hour care, with the purpose of providing consistently substantial quality care 24 hours a day and 7 days a week.”
