"We've had over 90% baby vaccination rates for whooping cough vaccines for over 11 years…since 2000, AND they've included even more shots since then for the adolescents at the time… and yet more, after 2000… AND here we are with whooping cough in EVEN higher numbers than it was before 1960? Don't you think that's absolutely astonishing? …Australia, which has had over a 95% whooping cough vaccination rate since 2000, is having the largest outbreak in their history since pertussis vaccination started. The same is happening in USA, and their rate of vaccination is even higher than Australia. So what do you think is happening there?"
- – Hilary Butler
The original information in this document is from Hilary Butler, and is presented as I have incorporated into my practice. This is a long document, but you must read every word of it. Please do not jump to the protocol as you will be lost as to what you are doing if you do not understand the full picture. Your child's health and recovery is worth a few hours of your time to learn.
Are you concerned about your vaccinated or unvaccinated child getting whooping cough? Well, you shouldn't be terrified, if you know how to care for your infant and child when it happens. The reason you hear of so much dread and why there is so much fear mongering among the conventional medical community, is because they have no idea how to treat whooping cough. Pertussis bacteria is very tricky and part of its armor are several toxins. The toxin production is the major reason for the terrible symptoms. Conventional medical doctors never address this problem. They give antibiotics, which have never been shown to limit the duration or severity of the cough in well established disease.
Vitamin C, in very high oral doses, will get you and your children through the weeks as your children develop lasting immunity that they can pass on to their young infants. Is vitamin C an instant cure? No, but the majority of parents who use it on their infected children report great relief. This includes very young infants. Most parents report a significant decrease in cough severity within the first 24 hours of proper dosing. This is because the primary issue of toxin neutralization is addressed by vitamin C.
If you think that a vaccinated person cannot get whooping cough, in the most severe manner, think again. Most babies over the age of 6 months who get whooping cough are fully and "appropriately" vaccinated. In 2012, a new peer reviewed document1 from professor of infectious diseases, Dr Maxwell Witt[1] of Keyser Permanente in California showed that pertussis runs rampant in fully vaccinated child populations.
"Our data suggests that the current schedule of acellular pertussis vaccine doses is insufficient to prevent outbreaks of pertussis. We noted a markedly increased rate of disease from age 8 through 12. . . . Acellular vaccines have not been studied for clinical efficacy in north America and no studies exist on long term immunogenicity. . . .We sought to examine the factors that resulted in this peak."
Quite impressive, right? Table 1 at the end of Dr Witt's document shows the percent of cases in the vaccinated, and it as follows: 86% age 2-7, 86% age 8-12, 62% age 13-18, 81% age 2-18. So now you know who gets more pertussis. It is not the unvaccinated. He even says, in the introduction:
"Our unvaccinated and under-vaccinated population did not appear to contribute significantly to the increased rate of clinical pertussis. Surprisingly, the highest incidence of disease was among previously vaccinated children in the eight to twelve year age group."
There is another noteworthy study besides Dr Witt's. In a controlled study over 86% of whooping cough in school age children occurs in the fully vaccinated1! [2]
Prior to vaccination, infants were less susceptible to pertussis because real "herd immunity" was in place, and mothers were passing on immunity to their infants during the vulnerable time. Since vaccination, this herd immunity has actually been abolished, and infants are now more susceptible due to their vaccinated or non-immune mothers lacking specific antibody and cellular immunity for pertussis. This can be verified in the medical literature:
"Diminishing maternal immunity increases the risk of infection among the youngest age groups, who have not yet received at least two doses of the vaccine."[3]
When pertussis is left to take its normal course in the community, the supposedly vulnerable infants that the vaccinationists scream and yell about, are protected by maternal antibodies and mother's milk until they are old enough to process the disease on their own. After vaccines were introduced, this protection was vastly reduced, because the mothers were at best, having vaccine antibodies to pass along to their infants, and that defense is neither effective nor long-lasting. The reason for the diminishing maternal immunity is that vaccinated individuals tend to have lower antibody titers long-term, and breast milk antibody (IgA) is not transferred in vaccinated mothers. As we already know, two doses and even three doses of vaccine is far from a guarantee of immunity. In fact that is the exact reason there is a new vaccine in the pipeline to add to the current FAILED pertussis vaccine schedule. This new vaccine will be inhaled, and in this article [4] touting the need for the new vaccine, the authors detail the many problems with the current vaccine.
"Although the introduction and widespread use of the pertussis vaccines caused a dramatic reduction in the incidence of whooping cough, it has risen recently despite high vaccine coverage in developed countries such as Australia, The Netherlands, and the United States despite high levels of immunization rates… The incidence of whooping cough, caused by Bordetella pertussis, in infants has surged in epidemic proportions in Australia as well as worldwide despite high coverage with the currently marketed pertussis vaccines… other major problems associated with the adoption of currently marketed aP vaccines are listed below: (i) Short to medium duration of protection, at best, imparted against pertussis infection attributed to waning of antibody-mediated immunity, mandating frequent booster vaccinations, (ii) induction of low level, if any, of cell mediated immunity considered to be important for long term protection against whooping cough, (iii) limited protection against the major exotoxins…"
A recent study [5] suggests that natural immunity to whooping cough lasts at least 30 years, whereas the immunity from a vaccine lasts 3 years, and after adult boosters, all antibodies have disappeared within a year. This is why pertussis boosters are now being recommended for 8-12 year-olds and adults. The risk of vaccination with unpredictable waning "immunity," and vaccine failure, is not as reliable as what nature has set forth, and it never will be.
Whooping cough is everywhere; the vaccine has been a miserable failure in the sense of eradication or prevention. Pertussis is admittedly, even by the vaccine enthusiasts, primarily spread by vaccinated children, adolescents and adults, who have inadequate immunity. Regardless, they will still say the problem is not with the vaccine, but rather with too few doses of vaccine. However, conventional medicine's own scientific studies [6] demonstrate that bacterial clearance and immune response is not as efficient in the vaccinated, in particular with the acellular pertussis vaccines.
The reason the vaccinated can spread the disease by virtue of taking them much longer to clear the bacteria, is due to an immune system that has been misprogrammed by a vaccine. Vaccinated babies, children, and adults are not able to mount the comprehensive bronchial and cellular immunity [7] – which an unvaccinated person naturally develops in the course of the disease. The vaccine only primes the body to fight pertussis toxin and sometimes a couple of other cell antigens, in the blood, not the lung. It does this by stimulating an unnatural balance in immune cell populations. This incorrect immunity "learned" from the vaccine (referred to by DR JAMES CHERRY as "original antigenic sin") [8], is then the same way the body then responds to a subsequent infection. If the first stimulation was to vaccine antigens, then upon the exposure to the disease, the vaccinated person will mount an inferior response, compared to a child who has convalesced from a natural infection.
It is well known that pertussis-convalesced children, who have never been vaccinated, develop important antibodies that the vaccinated do not [9]. The vaccinationists have exploited this natural phenomenon to support the need for designing vaccines with multiple antigens. The point they miss is that it is only natural complex cellular and bronchial responses, which give the full protection. It has been shown that response to pertussis toxin [10] and adenylate cyclase toxin [11] is far more intense in the unvaccinated, than the vaccinated. Because of this, the naturally immune will clear bacteria upon re-exposure far more rapidly than the vaccinated. There is an enormous difference between broad, long-lasting immunity from the normal disease, and limited antibody development and short-term pseudo-immunity from the vaccine.
Dr. James Bass [12] discusses the rapid clearance of pertussis in the unvaccinated, and the carriage state in the vaccinated, in a letter to the Lancet [12]: "subclinical infections were seen most often in partly immunized children or in individuals whose vaccine-induced immunity may have waned with time." This was written back when whole-cell pertussis vaccines were used, which are known to have been more dangerous, but possibly more efficacious, than the acellular vaccines used today.
If your child has whooping cough, the doctor will try to make you give her antibiotics. Even our alternative doctor suggested it for our kids. Doctors do this because it is what they have learned, not because they see it as fetchingly effective. The medical culture does not seem to understand the damage incurred by antibiotics. And, antibiotics do not shorten, or do anything, to lessen the course of the disease [13]. Antibiotics can, however, make the pertussis more severe by releasing LPS from other gram-negative bacteria during the "die-off" that happens with antibiotics on the gut. They say it stops the baby from coughing as much bacteria into the environment for others to catch. But it can also really sicken the gut, and make babies hyper- irritable. The side-effects of antibiotics outweigh any potential advantages, particularly since antibiotics don't work for whooping cough. But they do suppress the immune system and alter the colon, which provides 70% of immunity. Many people recognize right away that the antibiotics are not helpful and see the child getting worse on them, and often throw them in the trash. You can politely take the Rx from the doc, if you go to one, and do with it what you think best. I do not recommend trying to convince a zealot medical professional to back off their antibiotic dependence, when your child is ill. If you're brave, you can go back and do it later.
If your child has whooping cough, do not regret it, because you have the opportunity to control it the first time, so that you don't have to worry about it for several more decades. There are parents all around the world who know that any baby, at any age, can be managed if a mother is supported and knows what to do. A rocking chair is a must for mothers to conserve their own energy, and be able to easily rock very young babies. This will serve to keep the infant relaxed and the mucus moving. Interestingly, well-controlled pertussis has value, and there are many children who have permanently lost their asthma or other conditions after successfully dealing with natural pertussis. Conversely, there are many children who went through pertussis on steroids and antibiotics and now have both chronic lung damage, and allergies.
Clinical scenario
Whooping cough has two stages. The first stage, colonization, is like a cold, with fever, malaise and coughing, which increases in intensity over about a 10-day period. Then it seems like the cold is gone and there is nothing to worry about. The second or toxemic stage of pertussis begins gradually. The child starts the odd cough, and after about two weeks, the cough starts to get strong, with prolonged and paroxysmal coughing that often ends in a characteristic inspiratory gasp (whoop). The cough is often more prominent at night. If the cough changes, and becomes more of a bark, and more regular – developing a pattern at night of "every hour, on the hour" – you have to consider that it could be whooping cough.
If you need a laboratory diagnosis, PCR (polymerase chain reaction) and bacterial culture are both available. Both have advantages and disadvantages. While PCR is increasingly used as the sole diagnostic test for pertussis, CDC recommends that PCR be used alongside culture, rather than as an alternative test. A negative test does not necessarily rule out pertussis.
As the cough becomes more severe, various situations can trigger it. A classic way of diagnosis is to touch the middle of the tongue with your finger to see if this starts the cough, or if eating (i.e., passing food over the tongue) starts a cough, consider whooping cough. If a child happens to be breathing in, as well as eating when the food touches the tongue, and the cough starts on the inhale, there is a possibility of food going down the wrong way. If this happens, you may have to do a gentle push under the diaphragm to have them pass the food back up.
Running around is another trigger. If you watch them, they go cough, cough, …cough, cough, cough, cough, cough (and at this point are starting to go pink in the face, and are starting to wonder when they can have an in-breath) cough, cough, and then right at the end, they stop coughing, and the in-breath is really fast, because they want to expand their lungs, and the result can be a "whoop." Older children don't whoop much, if at all.
At the end of the cough, (about a month in), they might bring up a glob of fairly-thick mucus. This is because it pools down at the bottom of the lungs, because the toxin from the bacteria has finally cut off most of the hairs in the bronchioles that sweep the mucus up and around, like a non-stop river to keep the surfaces moist.
The earlier in the illness you get the vitamin C going, the less bronchial hairs will be lost. Once bronchial hairs are lost, the cough sounds dry, and that's because the mucus membranes aren't being kept as regularly moist as normal. Most children, so long as they constantly get that mucus up, and do not pool it (where secondary bacterial infections can set in) only have "problems" when they are coughing. The rest of the time they are normal.
Taking care of the caretaker
First, let's talk about you, the parent. You might have been subtly influenced by the huge field of fear that exists out there and you may not believe that you can't do this without a doctor, with a prescription pad, who may also chide you for not vaccinating. The first thing you need to do is take some deep breaths and visualize your child fully recovered and fully immune for 30 years. If at first, your emotional scale is off the Richter line, that is natural – it can happen to anyone. But it doesn't help the thinking process. You need to stand back and think clearly, and have a belief system that supports what you are doing.
Get a sheet of paper and a pen where it isn't going to get covered up and write down exactly the progression, leaving spaces, because you would be amazed at what you remember as time goes by. (If you do need professional help, this record becomes invaluable. Tell them to read it.)
Watch the child carefully throughout the day, and write down everything, including how you are feeling. If the child feels hot, go ahead take her temperature, but that won't mean much. Under no circumstances use acetaminophen or its like, or any cold medicine. Parents have been conditioned to fear fever, but fever is the body's innate means to heal. Without the ability to have a fever, we would not survive. The febrile seizure is the greatest fear, but even as the conservative NIH says[14], the concern is unwarranted.
Caretakers/parents can take a large dose (one tablespoon) of cod liver oil, and about 10 grams of vitamin C spread out over waking hours. Powdered sodium ascorbate is good. Make sure you get a non-GMO formulation. DO NOT USE ESTER C OR CALCIUM ASCORBATE. Mix the sodium ascorbate (10 grams = 2 teaspoons) in whatever volume of water works best for you and split it into maybe 4 doses through the day. When I need a lot quickly, I just take it off the spoon and chase it with a swig of water. You can also make a concentrated shot, or even dilute it much more depending on how well you tolerate the salty feeling. Regardless of how you take the powder, you must stay hydrated with plain water all day long, especially starting in the morning when your urine is most concentrated. Drink it gradually throughout the day. It may also be a good idea to give yourself a loading dose of 5 grams in half a glass of water. If this gives you loose bowels, cut the dose back. Breastfeeding moms can express some breast milk into a cup, and put a pinch of vitamin C powder into it, and mix it. Then, using a plastic eyedropper, dribble this into the baby's mouth gradually over a few minutes. Don't squirt it in – just drip it in, bit by bit. Or you can insert the dropper in as she breastfeeds, which would make it easier. If your baby is formula fed, load the vitamin C in the formula.
One key to breastfeeding mothers, especially if you the mother have whooping cough, which I've seen happen numerous times, is that YOU need to keep your vit C levels consistently high all day and night because if you don't, you can pass the toxin on to the baby. You must neutralize the toxin in your own body very well. Once infected, breastfeeding mothers do this, the baby enjoys a quick relief from their own cough.
Don't rely on any vitamin C you take to get to your child. It takes about 8 hours for the vitamin C you have taken to get through to the breast milk, and if your infant happens to get whooping cough, you don't want that gap, and your own need may have increased, so less will get through into your breast milk. A pinch is about 250 mg. Bear in mind that mainstream doctors prescribe antibiotics on the basis of 350 mgs per kg of body weight. So 250 mgs is miniscule, really. If I thought my baby was really sick, then I would calculate vitamin C for her at 375 mg/kg of body weight, and give that over waking hours, making sure that a larger dose is given just before night, to tide the baby over longer hours.
It is also worth considering using LYPO SPHERIC VITAMIN C in babies and children at night, because that builds up greater concentrations in the blood and appears to hold them stable for those night hours. It can be mixed into a small amount of fruit smoothie. LYPO-SPHERIC VITAMIN C IS NOT DOSED THE SAME AS SODIUM ASCORBATE. 1000 MG OF LYPOSPHERIC VITAMIN C WILL BE THE EQUIVALENT OF APPROXIMATELY 3000 MG OF SODIUM ASCORBATE SO YOU USE MUCH LESS LYPO IF YOU ARE USING LYPO-SPHERIC VITAMIN C!!! Also Livon labs lypospheric vitamin C contains soy and should be avoided if there is any known allergy to soy.
Vitamin C toxicity?
I find it amusing in the wake of pharmaceutical disaster after disaster in all areas of medicine, including my own specialty, that there is even discussion of a toxicity level for vitamin C – especially for a sick person. Toxicity of anything can only occur with unused excess which acts as a "poison" in the body, if is retained. Vitamin C is never a poison in the body, because every single function of the body requires it, and when there is too much, the person has a one-time episode of loose bowels, as the excess is removed from the body. This is how you know you've had enough vitamin C.
For anyone to consider that vitamin C could have toxicity means that they have no understanding of the various roles that vitamin C has in the body. There is a full body of research literature supporting the truth that vitamin C is nontoxic and safe in indicated circumstances in megadose quantities. There is much evidence indicating that vitamin C metabolism changes during infections and this may affect the relationship between doses and adverse effects [15](Hemilä 2006 pp 6-712), meaning that if you are burning through vitamin C and your body is requiring more and more, you will not suffer from toxicity. You will suffer from lack of it!
One of the biggest problems is that people are scared to use the sorts of doses they need to. They have been brainwashed about how dangerous vitamin C is in large doses. They see 20-30 Grams for an adult or 5 -10 grams for a child to be a megadose. But when the body has the level of need that someone with so much bacterial exotoxin and oxidative stress has, these seemingly high doses often just keep up with the ongoing need. To help with the pertussis, you have to give a big enough dose, because it's going to be used up hand over fist. It's like pouring water into a bucket with leaking holes. The pace has to keep up with the "use." Nobody has ever died of a vitamin C overdose.
It has been reported that people with serious infections can ingest over 50 g/day of vitamin C without gastric problems (LUBEROFF 1978;CATHCART 1985). The same principle whereby use of a necessary substance cannot cause toxicity, applies for a few other nutrients during infection, like vitamin A. You can give a child with measles vitamin A in levels which would normally be considered toxic, because the action of the measles virus pulls vitamin A out of the body hand over fist. All you are doing there is replacing what the body is mining. Therefore in the context of measles, high doses of vitamin A will not be toxic.
Vitamin C cannot be toxic when used to treat any disease where it is required. You wouldn't be using megadoses when you are super healthy, but only when such doses are required. If there is concern about kidney stone formation, despite the lack of literature support to implicate sodium ascorbate with stones, then hydrate with water and fresh lemon as this will alkalize and dilute the urine, making oxalate stone formation nearly impossible. If there is a known history of a stone forming disorder called hyperoxaluria, then caution should be exercised. However to be sure keep the urine dilute and alkaline as oxalate stones form in acidic, concentrated urine.
Anyone with a very rare disorder called Glucose 6 phosphate dehydrogenase deficiency (G6PD) should refrain from using megadoses of vitamin C except under specialist care. This issue as well as other toxicity issues is discussed in a previous BLOG.
The whooping cough bacteria
First let it be known that Bordetella pertussis, the bacteria responsible for whooping cough, has properties that not all bacteria have, and that is what makes it such a whopper to deal with: It secretes several toxins, and has adapted to stick to the cells of the airway.
"nonciliated cells" are the damaged ones.
Most of the respiratory tract lining (from the nose to the bronchi) is covered with hair-like (ciliated) epithelial cells. The cilia beat in one direction, moving mucus towards the throat where it is swallowed. Moving down the bronchioles, the cells change in shape but are still ciliated. In health, the bronchial hairs are moving mucus around all the time. It is this continuous movement that keeps the airways free of invasive pathogens. If it didn't do this, then we would be overcome by the bacteria and viruses we breathe every day. This mucus is part of the innate immune system and is loaded with immune globulins. So you must keep the mucus moving, especially in a sick child. Once the pertussis bacteria have a hold in the hairs, it secretes tracheal cytotoxin, which cuts the hairs off, stops them from beating, and destroys the cells underneath [17]. The mucus then stops moving normally and instead, it pools at the bottom. Then it builds up, breathing becomes harder, and the body signals coughing to try to move the mucus
out of the way, for proper breathing to occur. As long as you keep the mucus moving, your baby should not get a secondary infection. Vitamin C and hydration will help to keep the mucus thin. When you first start to use vitamin C, the mucus may thin out quickly and the person coughing may bring up large quantities in the first 24 hours.
There are two first-line bacterial toxins [18]; Pertussis toxin (PTx) which stops the body from sending neutrophils(immune cells) to kill the bacteria, and Adenylate Cyclase Toxin (ACT). ACT inhibits the immune cell function and poisons the immune response [19], acting as a "force-field" to shield the bacteria from the immune system while the bacteria start stripping the bronchiolar cilia off of the epithelial cells. Vaccinated children cannot mount antibody to ACT[20].Vitamin C will neutralize these toxins while the body is mounting a proper immune response, which takes weeks.
If the disease goes out of control, toxins can enter the blood-stream and irritate the body. If the baby's immune system is not so good, then this toxin can get to the brain as well, but this is very rare. This is why 1 in 200 babies die from it – their figures, which I am repeating back to you. The truth is that it is 1 in 200 babies who have received standard medical treatment, or no treatment whatsoever, who might die. These numbers are used often to frighten parents into vaccinating, but the numbers are generated by counting children who've been treated allopathically, not by those of us who have successfully treated alternatively, as those children rarely land up in the hospital, and thus are not counted in the stats.
If the mucus is not expectorated, bacteria will grow and cause a secondary bacterial infection, which doctors will want to treat with antibiotics. They say whooping cough, in rare cases, can cause long-lasting bronchial problems. Yes it can, if you treat it the way the doctors do, doing nothing other than antibiotics. Just using antibiotics does not deal with the pooling mucus, or manage it, or deal with the toxin. If you keep the mucus moving (you can also use gentle postural drainage if you want), there should be no further problems other than the cough itself.
Vitamin C's action
The vitamin C neutralizes any toxins in the blood and should stabilize the child. If you are breastfeeding, you will have to take it yourself and/or give it until the coughing stops. It is easier and cheaper to give it directly to babies, rather than trying to guess how much is coming through breast milk. If you take it yourself, you can never be sure your baby is getting what it needs, because you might be more stressed than you think, and your body may be using up more than you estimate.
The vitamin C will not kill the bacteria. The vitamin C will mobilize the neutrophils and phagocytes (the immune cells that process the infection) which grind to a halt without vitamin C, which is their fuel. The toxin forms a "barrier" to the immune system. In using vitamin C, you are clearing out the barrier and allowing the immune system to get in there easily and deal with the bacteria. It will take the same length of time to deal with the bacteria – the whole 100 days, but the child will NOT have as serious symptoms, because you are keeping the system clean, and the immune pathways functioning properly.
The functions of vitamin C in any toxin-mediated disease (which includes tetanus, diphtheria, whooping cough, Staph. aureus, Strep. A, meningococcal invasive disease, pneumococcal invasive disease, etc.), are several. Three of the fundamental functions of vitamin C are strengthening cellular and vascular collagen bonds, detoxifying the body, and keeping mitochondria running properly. The very common reason why people who are ill for a long time have extreme lethargy – is lack of vitamin [21]. You can't have functioning mitochondria without vitamin C. And it's no fluke that if a doctor tests babies with SIDS, they can often find zero vitamin C [22].
Here are a few functions of vitamin C, using whooping cough as the example:
1) The front line function of vitamin C is to bond with, and neutralize, circulating toxin, which is then removed from the body – by the kidneys. With whooping cough, the body manages the toxin until it runs out of vitamin C. Then the toxin builds up, the cough intensifies, and there is breakthrough into the blood. In babies with subclinical scurvy, (which the doctors never recognize, because they think all forms of scurvy disappeared with Captain Cook's discovery)the blood brain barrier weakens significantly – which can result in toxin going into the brain.
2) When the "whooping" body runs out of vitamin C, two things happen. If the mother is observant, she will notice that the child's gums may go red around the edges – a first sign of scurvy. Then, the cough gets much worse, because the neutrophils aren't able to attack the bacteria anymore, because the vitamin C has run out. So the bacteria spreads through the bronchioles, eroding the bronchial hairs, which means that instead of the mucus flowing up the brochioles and recycling and keeping the area clear, it now pools at the bottom of the bronchioles, and toxin rules the area. At this point, vitamin C in large enough doses eliminates the toxin, but it won't stop the need to cough, because the hairs aren't there, so the child still has to cough up that pooled mucus. The other thing the vitamin C does is thin out the mucus, making it much easier for the child to cough it up, so you don't get to the red-in-the-face stage, because the mucus isn't thick anymore, and moves up easily. However, because the mucus moves up quickly, you may get the odd "vomit" session, particularly if the child has just eaten.
3) Vitamin C strengthens collagen intracellular bonds. If no vitamin C is given, the integrity of the body's collagen intracellular bonds start to weaken, and the child will get pink eyes from the cranial force, and the lungs will start to become congested, the blood-brain barrier becomes permeable…all for the lack of vitamin C.
4) Vitamin C is a great antioxidant. Without vitamin C, the neutrophils and liver won't be able to deal with the free radicals and toxins being thrown at the body[23]. (And yes, lack of vitamin C has a huge role in preventing and dealing with cancer.)
5) Vitamin C has a large role in mitochondrial function. The patient can get exhausted without vitamin C, because carnitine won't pull fatty acids into the mitochondria, and will thus produce less energy.
The fact that vitamin C is the basis of "life" is why scurvy was such a killer for sailors.
Without vitamin C, the whole of the body's core functions gradually shut down, and if it is not replaced,
there is only one result, and that is death. You can toss everything else into a human body – every other "good" food… but if there is no vitamin C in any of that food, that human will die.
If you are using vitamin C to "bond to and neutralize" toxins in whooping cough or any other disease, you use as much vitamin C as the body will soak up, to get all the functions going and complete the process. Everything you put in is utilized to join with exotoxin and flush it out; to keep the neutrophils moving around and dealing with waste; to keep the liver protected; to keep the mitochondria functioning properly.
The Protocol
The information provided here stems from a wide body of literature that demonstrates vitamin C to be extremely safe and instrumental in the biochemical recovery from Bordetella pertussis (whooping cough). Those who have used this approach are proof of the truth, that natural recovery from whooping cough has advantages for an entire life. The pertussis vaccine is one of the most ineffective vaccines, has many disadvantages, and requires numerous doses and boosters. One episode of natural whooping cough renders the recovered immune for at least 30 years. Subsequent whooping cough in convalesced adults will be a nuisance cough.
If you have a cooperative medical provider, this document can serve as a guideline for them and you to work together.Powdered sodium ascorbate or lypo-spheric vitamin C is what you want, when using high doses. You should always have this in your house regardless, since it has so many good uses. It is available to you, from your health food store or online. The lypo-spheric vitamin C is usually dosed around bed time or at the beginning of the cough in order to boost the blood levels quickly. The sodium ascorbate is dosed in a mg/kg/day dose. Please be sure that your sodium ascorbate is a non-GMO brand. I recommend nutribiotics brand because it is pure and free of GMO, inexpensive and available on amazon.com. DO NOT USE ESTER C OR CALCIUM ASCORBATE. LYPO-SPHERIC VITAMIN C IS NOT DOSED THE SAME AS SODIUM ASCORBATE. 1000 MG OF LYPOSPHERIC VITAMIN C WILL BE THE EQUIVALENT OF APPROXIMATELY 3000 MG OF SODIUM ASCORBATE SO YOU USE MUCH LESS LYPO IF YOU ARE USING LYPO-SPHERIC VITAMIN C!!!
Pertussis toxin can be neutralized in 12 hours with correct vitamin C dosing. You have to continue the vitamin C for up to three months. It does not stop the disease. Vitamin C clears away the toxins, and makes the coughing much, much milder, and increases the ability of the body to deal with the bacteria and develop immunity naturally.
The starting dose in children for sodium ascorbate is 200-375 mg per kg over 24 hours. If they are coughing until they are purple, then your doses of vitamin C are much too small. Bump them right up to the level of 375 milligrams per kilo of body weight over the waking hours, as a starting dose. If you use pounds, know that one kilo is equal to 2.2 pounds. So get a calculator and weigh your child.
Here is how you arrive at the amount of milligrams of sodium ascorbate, which will be spread out over 24 hours, in multiple doses. You will have to split up the baby or children's doses in small amounts of water through the day, and because they are small they need it concentrated. You must however make sure to keep them well hydrated with water all day, and if you are breastfeeding you need to be very well hydrated to pass that water on to the baby. You may want to give more towards the end of the day, or whenever the coughing tends to be worse. This dose is just a guideline to start working with. You may determine that you require more or less. This is explained below.
If using pounds, use this equation: (weight in pounds divided by 2.2) times 375 = for the 24 hour dose, in mg per kg. Example: If your child weighs 20 pounds then you have 20 divided by 2.2 times 375= 3409 mg of vitamin C powder in a 24-hour period.
If using kg, just use wt in Kg times 375= your dose of sodium ascorbate for 24 hours in mg per kg.
If you are having any trouble or doubt on the dose, please check with someone who can do this calculation for you.
Once you start using vitamin C, the mucus will thin out considerably. The first 24 hours may be a time when mucus seems to come out in great abundance, as it thins.
If your dose is right, within 8 hours there should be a two-third reduction in the coughing. If you start to taper the vitamin C too soon, e.g., before four weeks, you could see an increase in cough. You will then have to go back up to the old dose. It is probably not a good idea to even try stopping before 4 weeks.
If your child develops loose bowels, then you may be giving too much. In this case cut back by 50% and monitor.
The cough in most children will decrease to at least a quarter the intensity it was if proper doses of vitamin C are given. But you still have to know how to manage the quantity of mucus whooping cough produces, especially in babies. The babies' relative inability to use the stomach muscles to cough properly and their narrow bronchioles put them at a physical disadvantage compared with older children. If that mucus is not shifted, then secondary bacterial infections
set in, and it is these, which can cause the problems.
If you are giving a high dose and it seems to not be working, there may be reasons why. Here are some of the confounding issues I have encountered.
-Sugar in the diet. This includes honey and all good sugar. Sugar competes with the vit C transporter in cells. This would include simple carbohydrates too.
-Milk products should be absolutely avoided.
-Consider avoiding wheat and gluten for a few weeks.
-Pedialyte or any sucralose containing products are immune suppressing. Avoid them. If you are concerned about dehydration or electrolye imbalance then use coconut water as it is so much like human plasma it can be given IV. This is not the same as coconut milk.
With any cough, particularly whooping cough, turn the baby around, with its back to your abdomen. Split your legs, so the baby is supported around the abdomen but the legs are straight down between your thighs. Your hands make a gentle net around the baby's ribcage and abdomen, and when the baby coughs, you lean forward slightly to angle the baby, allowing the baby to have something for the abdominal muscles to push against as it coughs. You give the baby some pressure to use, but do not press in yourself. They haven't learned to control their muscles to get an efficient cough yet, so your hands give them a wall to push against, and make it much easier for them. With whooping cough, you will get a clear mucous glob ejected onto your floor. Better out than in. Don't attempt to catch it, or you may drop the baby. With whooping cough, the cough will become more regular, first at night. Maybe every hour, on the hour. This is because it takes around an hour for the mucus to pool at the bottom of the bronchial tube.
Later, the cough will become more common in the day as well. Once the cough is regular in the day, that's usually when parents start to suspect whooping cough. If you think it is whooping cough, write down the time of each coughing spell at the beginning, to see if a pattern establishes. This will help with diagnosis.
Why write it down? Because life will become so hectic you won't be able to remember, and your paper pad will be your memory. It will enable you to look back clearly, without panic, and see what the progression is. If your child's cough is whooping cough, it will last the normal time – supposedly 100 days…., but the cough will be a nuisance only. If you are breastfeeding, you will notice that each time you feed, this will provoke a cough, usually during a brisk "let-down". Deal with the cough first – let the milk spray if need be. Get the mucus up, then put the baby back on the breast straight away, and there will be no cough because the mucus has gone, and she will take the full feed. But you both might be wet and sticky, on your front and her back.
Babies with whooping cough sleep lightly. An experienced mother who has gotten several babies through whooping cough says this:
- I organised the house so that I sleep with the babies in a huge double bed (on the floor, not raised) and during the day, apart from toilet stops, well planned… I spent most of the day in the rocking chair if the baby was asleep, or put them in the back-pack if I needed to do a job, though I got a couple of well-placed mucus globs down the back of my neck. Everything was organized so that I got the maximum sleep, as sleep deprivation for the mother is the main problem. Littlies seem to be forever bounding with energy, even though they are coughing – somehow they cope with sleep in short burst better than we do. Cleaning – went out the window – I concentrated on cooking, dishes, and keeping up with the washing. A bath or shower was when hubby was at home, and on hand to help – to do baby as well.
WARNING: If you stop the vitamin C too soon, you will soon find that the cough quickly becomes much stronger. Once kids know that it's the vitamin C that holds the cough intensity down, and parents stop it too soon, the kids will come back and plead for it. It needs to be used for several weeks, or else you will have a continuous relapsing and seeming recovery cycle. A properly-managed baby or child with whooping cough should not lose any weight at all.
The recovery period
If your child gets a cold from 6-9 months after having recovered from whooping cough, the child will start to "whoop," or cough, the same way as when processing the pertussis. The reason for that is that it takes a long time for the hairs to grow back. Any infection without proper hairs in the bronchi, will result in mucus pooling. Because there has been loss of the hairs in the bronchi, this mucus pooling is necessary to trigger a cough strong enough to get the mucus from the bottom of the bronchi up to the top. Do not use cough suppressants or you will end up with pneumonia.
The reason we doctors were never taught about therapeutic doses of vitamin C in medical school, is that if they had taught us about it, then not only would a raft of other drugs have been unnecessary, but they wouldn't be able to use meningococcal complications and deaths as emotional blackmail to get people to vaccinate, because people wouldn't be scared of gram-negative infections [N. meningitides and H. influenza (Hib)] any more. There would never be serious whooping cough or even deaths. Vitamins A and C would render measles, whooping cough, meningococcal complications, among other things, really easy to treat. When sick people presented to the hospital, IV vitamin C would immediately be started, and there would not be the terrible complications such as coagulopathy, at all. Vitamin C antidotes DIC (disseminated intravascular coagulation), a severe complication of sepsis, where bleeding and clotting occur simultaneously.

About the author: Dr. Suzanne Humphries is a conventionally educated medical doctor. She fully and successfully participated in the conventional system for 19 years, witnessing first-hand how that approach fails patients and creates new disease time and again. Prior to medical school, she earned a bachelor's degree in physics from Rutgers University. After two years as the head technician in a research biochemistry lab, she went to medical school, graduating from Temple University School of Medicine in 1993. She then studied internal medicine in the Bronx, NY where she completed her 3-year medical residency. At this juncture, Dr Humphries became more aware of the failures of primary care medicine, observing that doctors are largely trained to prescribe drugs and hunt down disease. Despite this approach, the patients continued to get sicker, requiring more drugs and ultimately developing degenerative diseases. Not wanting involvement in the generation of chronically ill patients, she opted to work at the other end of the allopathic continuum and completed a fellowship in Nephrology. After 14 years of practicing allopathic kidney medicine, her perspective on the overall success of the allopathic paradigm has developed and matured. She views allopathic medicine as an overused system – that when implemented as first line treatment across – the – board for mild illnesses and symptoms, it will mostly just drive chronic illnesses deeper and more seriously into the patient.
Dr Humphries has re-dedicated her life as a doctor. She recently moved beyond mainstream medicine, and is utilizing nontoxic means to help restore health in those who seek her assistance. Homeopathy, nutrition, micronutrients, and detoxification are among the modalities she implements. Dr. Humphries is on the board of directors of the International Medical Council on Vaccination.

Uggie, Doggie Star of 'The Artist,' Is Bowing Out of Showbiz After Oscars [PHOTOS]
Uggie is one of the most famous dogs in Hollywood that you might not have known about. But you should, because he's reportedly performing at the Oscars alongside Billy Crystal. Can you believe it? This news is bittersweet, though, because shortly afterwards he'll be hanging up his bow tie and leaving Hollywood for good.
The 10-year-old Jack Russell terrier, who starred in 'The Artist' opposite Jean Dujardin and Bérénice Bejo, has been "suffering from a shaking syndrome" that's prematurely forcing him into retirement, according to his trainer Omar Von Miller. "We've spent thousands trying to figure out what is causing it but the experts don't really know. All the vets can tell us, after all the scans and tests, is that it is neurological and he is not suffering."
Hollywood will be sad to see this beloved canine go, but Uggie had a good run. Besides 'The Artist,' he's played the role of Queenie in 'Water for Elephants' with Robert Pattinson, he's been on the 'Today' show and 'The Graham Norton Show,' and he'll be in a skit on the Oscars stage. That's more than a lot of human actors have accomplished in their lifetimes. What's his final obstacle? Winning the animal version of an Academy Award, a Golden Collar. And his competish? The doberman from 'Hugo.' We think Uggie can take him. Check out some photos of one of Hollywood's most unsung stars below.

Yesterday, the whole cast of High School Musical 2 hit the red carpet for the film's L.A. premiere. As swoony as Zac Efron is, we were firmly focused on the two leading ladies and how great they looked! Ashley Tisdale stuck to her funky and casual style with a handkerchief hem white BCBG dress and sparkling heels, while Vanessa Hudgens continued to work the ultra-glam look with her Jay Godfrey gown and Kenneth Cole Reaction jewelry. We know that having Zac as arm candy might give Vanessa a slight edge in this one, but we want to know what you think of the ladies's ensembles. Tell us: Who ruled the red carpet at the premiere? Ashley Tisdale or Vanessa Hudgens?

An easy-going red variety with generous fruit and a supple texture ...
An easy-going red variety with generous fruit and a supple texture, Merlot's subtle tannins make it perfect for early drinking and allow it to pair with a wide range of foods. But the grape also has enough stuffing to make serious, world-renowned wines. One simply needs to look to Bordeaux to understand Merlot's status as a noble variety. On the region's Right Bank, in St. Emilion and Pomerol, it dominates in blends with Cabernet Franc. On the Left Bank in the Medoc, it plays a supporting role to (and helps soften) Cabernet Sauvignon—in both cases resulting in some of the longest-lived and highest-quality wines in the world. They are often emulated elsewhere in Bordeaux-style blends, particularly in California's Napa Valley, where Merlot also frequently shines on its own.
In the Glass
Merlot is known for its soft, silky texture and approachable flavors of ripe plum, red and black cherry and raspberry. In a cool climate, you may find earthier notes alongside dried herbs, tobacco and tar, while Merlot from warmer regions is generally more straightforward and fruit-focused.
Perfect Pairings
Lamb with Merlot is an ideal match—the sweetness of the meat picks up on the sweet fruit flavors of the wine to create a harmonious balance. Merlot's gentle tannins allow for a hint of spice and its medium weight and bright acidity permit the possibilities of simple pizza or pasta with red sauce—overall, an extremely versatile food wine.
Sommelier Secret
Since the release of the 2004 film Sideways, Merlot's repuation has taken a big hit, and more than a decade later has yet to fully recover, though it is on its way. What many viewers didn't realize was that as much as Miles derided the variety, the prized wine of his collection—a 1961 Château Cheval Blanc—is made from a blend of Merlot with Cabernet Franc.

The city and county mayors are aggressively pushing for support for a major expansion of Presidents Island, including a concerted effort to bring city and county legislators on board.
Cargill and other entities on Presidents Island would benefit from a $69.5 million expansion project that could more than double the developed space in the industrial area, including a rail expansion.
(Daily News/Andrew J. Breig)
"It represents an opportunity, not just in the immediate years to come, but for decades to come," Memphis Mayor A C Wharton Jr. told members of the Memphis City Council and Shelby County Commission during a Wednesday, Aug. 13, briefing at City Hall.
The most aggressive plan under consideration, a $69.5 million expansion project, could more than double the developed space in the industrial area.
The Port Commission has applied for a $35.3 million grant from the U.S. Department of Transportation. Other parties, including Cargill and Canadian National Railway Co., could contribute $34.2 million toward the rail expansion, leading to an additional 1,500 acres of developable land on Presidents Island, which currently has 1,000 developed acres.
If the project does not win approval for all or some of the grant, two smaller expansion efforts are under consideration.
One option is a $38 million rail expansion to serve Cargill, a project that would not produce any new developed land. The other is a $45 million expansion that would produce 500 new acres of developable land.
The $69.5 million expansion project would include roughly 80,000 linear feet of railroad tracks starting at roughly the entrance to Presidents Island and encircling 1,500 acres of undeveloped land.
Completed in 1957, the 7,500-acre Presidents Island area is home to the Port of Memphis and has a $7.1 billion annual economic impact. It is home to 173 businesses and 4,000 jobs. Major employers include Valero and Cargill, among others.
After decades of sometimes painstaking growth, Presidents Island – which features an 8-mile-long harbor with the 1,000-acre, water-fronted industrial park – has only 200 acres of developable land available, and rail service has reached capacity.
"This gives us the ability to build it now and get ahead of the pack," Wharton said.
The project would relieve rail congestion – which can affect rail switching yards as far way as St. Louis and Cairo, Ill. – and provide more storage room. Cargill spent $500,000 in 2010 moving rail cars around to avoid congestion.
The 1,500 acres targeted for expansion presents a unique opportunity to offer large chunks of property to industrial users, said Shelby County Mayor Mark Luttrell. The city and county own 85 percent of the property being eyed for the expansion.
"As vast as our county is, finding suitable property to expand our industrial footprint has become increasingly difficult," Luttrell said.
The expansion would involve a massive construction effort to either build up the vacant land or form a levee. City and county officials say the project would create more than 800 constructions jobs and 4,000 jobs once the site is completely built out.
U.S. Rep. Steve Cohen, D-Memphis, said the federal grant process was highly competitive but that feedback from Washington has been positive.
"This is going to be more like the (University of Memphis) Tigers football team going to a bowl game than the Tigers basketball team going to the (NCAA) tournament," Cohen said.


text: Supply Constraints in Major Dairy Exporting Countries Bolster Market June 12, 2013 08:44 AM Tweet TAGS: Marketing, Overseas December 18, 2014 By MILK Editors Email U.S. Dairy Export Council: Tight supplies and firm prices in the months ahead should enable U.S. dairy exporters to boost market share. Source: U.S. Dairy Export Council The global dairy markets have corrected from the New Zealand-drought induced rally of a couple months ago, and the mid-point of 2013 has arrived with prices relatively steady and well supported. That's the assessment of U.S. Dairy Export Council (USDEC) analysts writing in the June 11 issue of the organization's "Global Dairy Market Outlook" newsletter. The report was written by USDEC's Alan Levitt, Marc Beck and Brad Gehrke. Export prices out of Oceania have pulled back 10-20% since April. European prices have been stable and U.S. prices mixed. The market is expected to remain firm in the third quarter due to ongoing supply constraints in major exporting countries. Production shortfalls are still hanging over the market. Milk production among the five major suppliers (EU-27, U.S., New Zealand, Australia and Argentina) was down approximately 3.2% in March and April, a decline of nearly 1.5 million tons of milk. "There's still not much product available from South America, and the European and U.S. spring flushes have come and gone," the trio writes. "We expect modest improvement in the second half of the year, but project overall milk production from these five suppliers to be about flat for calendar 2013." Recent rains came too late to salvage New Zealand's current season -- production there was down about 25% in March and April. Because of heavy culling and strong comparables, USDEC says it will be tough for New Zealand to turn back to positive anytime soon. As a result, USDEC analysts project Kiwi milk production will be down 5-7% for calendar year 2013, a reduction of 1.4 million tons, equivalent to about 160,000-200,000 tons less product available this year to overseas buyers. "Furthermore, we expect the cupboard is mostly bare: New Zealand exports were up about 14% year-over-year in the August-to-April period, even though milk production in the same nine months was flat, suggesting significant inventory drawdown ahead of the new season," the USDEC article notes. Exporters are making strategic decisions in the face of lower output. New Zealand is focusing its dwindling milk flow on whole milk powder at the expense of cheese and butter. On the other hand, the Europeans are focusing on cheese and butter (for internal needs and for Russia), and producing less milk powder. Meanwhile, buying activity remains good, though higher commodity prices have given some buyers pause. In addition, substitution has become more feasible, as the premium of dairy protein/fat vs. vegetable protein/fat has risen over the last six to nine months. Still, in the first four months of the year, imports from China (+17%), Russia (+25%) and Algeria (+16%) all were strong. Russia milk production is lagging year-ago levels – an indication that imports will continue. Mexico production is flat, even as consumption continues to grow, so they'll need to buy too. On the other hand, Japan milk production is down this year, but consumption is lower, making more milk available for manufacturing. Buyers are mostly covered for near-term needs and are now starting to extend coverage for third quarter and into fourth quarter. Of course, purchases from China are seasonally slower. Over the last four years, China's imports of milk powder and whey were 31% lower in Q3 than in the other three quarters. By fourth quarter, though, China will be ordering heavily again, USDEC says. The safeguard trigger for the China-New Zealand FTA increases again in 2014, and Chinese buyers will be putting in orders in November and December to get product in the pipeline for imports during January and February to get the tariff break before the trigger is hit. "We expect supply tightness will keep prices at or near current levels over the next three to five months – at least until Oceania flush production comes on the market," USDEC says. "There is a growing belief that markets may remain undersupplied into 2014. However, keep an eye on how quickly supply responds to higher farmgate milk prices in major supply regions." Fonterra's opening payout price for 2013/14 was up 21% from the prior year, FrieslandCampina and other European suppliers are offering record-high payments (up 20% or more from a year ago), and farmgate milk prices in South America are up nearly 20% since December. All this will eventually bring on more milk, the USDEC analysts say. Current and forecast conditions are favorable for U.S. suppliers. U.S. export prices have returned to a favorable relationship with Oceania and European prices. In April, the U.S. posted record-high shipments of nonfat dry milk/skim milk powder (55,187 tons) and improved volumes of cheese (25,551 tons), lactose (29,523 tons) and whey proteins (41,456 tons). "Tight alternative supplies and firm prices in the months ahead should enable U.S. exporters to boost share versus global competitors in the months ahead," says USDEC. Back to news

Add Microsoft SQL Server Web or Standard to Plesk
You can add SQL Web or Standard to your GoDaddy server and integrate it with Plesk. This will let you create databases directly within Plesk.
This article will take you through purchasing a license from us, going through all of the installation and configuration, and then connecting it to Plesk.
Purchase and Install Microsoft SQL Server Standard
Start by buying and installing SQL Server Standard.
Note: If you do not need the advanced features of SQL Server Standard, you can instead install SQL Server Express directly through Plesk.
Create an admin user for SQL Server
Plesk will not properly sync with SQL Server unless you first create an admin user.
Enable the SQL Server Browser service
So that Plesk can recognize the database server, you must enable the SQL Server Browser service.
Change SQL Server to Mixed-Mode Authentication
Because Plesk cannot use Windows authentication with SQL Server, you must change your SQL Server settings to allow mixed SQL and Windows authentication.
Add Microsoft SQL to Plesk Components
Plesk needs to recognize the SQL Server Standard installation before it can be enabled and activated. This is done by refreshing the Plesk components.
Connect SQL Server to Plesk
This last step completes the process: activate SQL Server Standard inside Plesk.
After all of these steps, you can now create MS SQL databases directly through Plesk.

The race also possess prehensile tails which allow themselves excellent balance both on the ground and in flight. There are a few drawbacks for the Speleans race. Given their lack of seasons in their life underground, they are ill suited for cold weather and are extremely sensitive to bright sunlight. While Speleans often do venture above ground, they are usually uncomfortable outside. Speleans are famous through out Eternia for their inspiring metalwork. Speleans craft some of the finest steel weapons in Eternia. In their halls are some of the most impressive and efficient forges in all of Eternia. The Speleans are currently ruled by a noble leader named Lord Dactys who is loyal to King Randor. Dactys' supreme rank within the clan is signified by his headdress that he wears

Regional Economic Disparities as Determinants of Students' Achievement in Italy
We use a statistical (multilevel) approach to study the relationship between Math Scores and individual-level and school-level factors. The sample contains data about 21,336 students sorted into 163 schools. Our results show that students attending schools in Northern Italy outperform their counterparts in the South. Moreover, the between-schools variance is much higher in Southern Italy than in Northern Italy, albeit it is not due to student sorting based on different socio-economic status (SES), as suggested by the traditional literature in this field. Finally, between-schools variance actually masks achievement differentials due to the different economic development of the Regions.

A Qualcomm executive has claimed that Apple's 64-bit A7 processor is a marketing ploy. Anand Chandrasekher, senior vice president and chief marketing officer at Qualcomm, claims that there is no benefit to consumers from the processor being 64-bit. This is because the iPhone 5s only has 1GB of DRAM, a smaller amount that would necessitate a 64-bit processor, according to Techworld:
"Predominantly... you need it for memory addressability beyond 4GB. That's it. You don't really need it for performance, and the kinds of applications that 64-bit get used in mostly are large, server-class applications," said Chandrasekher, who previously ran Intel's mobile platforms group.
Chandrasekher's comments should be taken with a grain of salt. Qualcomm supplies the processors for hundreds of devices running Android and Windows phone, and it sounds like they won't be producing a 64-bit chip just yet. They have a vested interest in downplaying the importance of the A7. On the other hand, apps like djay 2 and vjay have been updated with faster audio analysis, precision key detection and key matching, and a host of HD video playback and recording improvements, all of which have been attributed to the A7's 64-bit processing.
Mike Ash analyzed the A7 and found that the reality landed somewhere in the middle. There are some significant gains that come from the A7's 64-bit processing, but it's not exactly a revolutionary step forward.
Consider as well that Apple rarely, if ever, markets on specs. There aren't any ads about the A7 chip. And there were never any ads for the A6, or A5, or A4, either. During their event last month, Apple said 64-bit, talked a little bit about performance and the secure enclave for Touch ID, and that's it. Most consumers ultimately don't care about specs. They don't care about the name of the chip or the fact that it's 64-bit. If Apple could get the iPhone 5s to run on a Dorito, consumers still wouldn't care. They just want their stuff to work.

Adams/Controls help control system developers eliminate the need to write complex equations of motion for mechanical plants. The software enables users to graphically model mechanical systems, containing a variety of constraints and force types as well as parts of arbitrary shape, then directly integrate their Simulink - developed control system models within these mechanical system designs. Users can then simulate their systems' full-motion behavior from within the Simulink environment and visualize the results using animations and plotting.
The Adams suite of tools allows virtual prototyping and virtual testing -- the ability to build and test your complex products in the computer before committing to expensive and time-consuming physical prototyping and testing. Employing an interactive graphical environment and libraries of components, joints, and forces, Adams enables engineers to parametrically model 3-D mechanical systems and study alternative designs as "virtual prototypes" by simulating and comparing realistic motion behavior.

Financial crisis of 2008
There was just two months work in this article reverted without explanation. The article is 5 years out of date and in need of updating. It is loaded with Prof. Jensen's hope that government Keynsian stimulus's are the solution to the crisis -- which has now been emphatically rejected by both the European Union and the United States through sequestration. Can we get meaningful discussion on any problems, or can the reversion be restored and I can continue, along with my work in Category:Budget terms, Fannie Mae, and other articles related to the crisis. Thank you. OscarO 22:20, 6 March 2013 (EST)
Hello I have seen that only administrators can upload pictures. So can you please uploud a picture of the dictator Alexander Lukashenko? Like this one http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Alexander_Lukashenko_2007.jpg --Alex00 12:34, 11 March 2013 (EDT)
- There are limitations on use of that photo, which make it not worth the trouble for the relatively obscure figure.--Andy Schlafly 12:49, 11 March 2013 (EDT)
Arinze won't become pope
I notice to you the post that I have written on the talk page of cardinal Arinze, explaining why he won't become pope at all, I assume that since nobody answered me and you kept uphelding that Arinze will be elected on the main page's head... you didn't read it. --Swordsman 12:52, 13 March 2013 (EDT)
CPAC straw poll results
Mr. Schlafly, your headline for the CPAC straw poll contains the line "...as the older RINOs strike out.", is this meant to imply that you believe that the other candidates under consideration were RINOs? If that's the case, I couldn't help but notice that of the other 22 candidates on the ballot, only 2 appear on our RINO list here at Conservapedia (Chris Christie and Mitch Daniels). Would you like me to add the other names to the list? --DonnyC 19:58, 16 March 2013 (EDT)
- No, the headline doesn't mean that every non-winner is a RINO. It means the RINO faction of the party struck out, including critics of Rand Paul and folks like Mitt Romney.--Andy Schlafly 22:03, 16 March 2013 (EDT)
Bullied and banned by liberal sysop for speaking the truth.
On the Steubenville rape case page, I, BenCG, correctly pointed out that the rape case was stalled by local Democrat officials, only to have justice brought by the Republicans at the state level. Apparently I offended the liberal sensibilities of liberal evolutionist and atheist User:Brenden. I can understand dealing with liberal bias and ignorance on Wikipedia. But to have to deal with it on Conservapedia at the behest of liberal sysops is disgusting. Brenden refuses to accept the facts surrounding the Steubenville rape case and, like an atheist, refuses to accept credit given to Republican AG Mike DeWine for his good, Godly work in bringing the perpetrators to justice. BenCG2 14:16, 18 March 2013 (EDT)
- BenCG, your edits to the Steubenville rape case were in no way in good faith. I trust anyone with some sense can tell that the entire point of the article was not to complain about politics, but rather to explain the disgusting crime that took place. BenCG, instead of lying and manipulating people, why don't you go do something productive?brenden 00:07, 23 March 2013 (EDT)
Username Change
Hi Andy, would you be able to change my username to DickV so as I conform with the first name, last initial policy ? Cheers. 09:22, 19 March 2013 (EDT)
- That's unnecessary at this point - the policy is for users who have not made substantive edits.--Andy Schlafly 09:28, 19 March 2013 (EDT)
Andy, the users who have not made substantive edits are the ones that get burned by the rule! You probably know that Mr. V, along with another of others, are occasionally beaten up for the appearance (emphasis on appearance) of hypocrisy in blocking people over the naming rule while not himself complying with it. He was simply lucky that no one was zealous in applying the rule when he was new. He is making a good-faith effort to fix this appearance of hypocrisy. Please let him do so. SamHB 22:47, 19 March 2013 (EDT)
- I must admit I always assumed Vergne was the surname. Still if someone wants to change their name it can do no harm can it? --DamianJohn 22:51, 19 March 2013 (EDT)
- So will you change my username please ? Dvergne 23:17, 22 March 2013 (EDT)
Hi Mr. Schlafly,
I am a relatively new user here at Conservapedia, but since I am very familiar with how MediaWiki works, I was able to "adapt" to here easily. I have a few questions about Conservapedia which probably only you could answer.
- Are there any plans for the MediaWiki version of this wiki to be updated? The version currently is 1.16.0, but the latest version of MediaWiki is 1.20.3!
- Is Conservapedia:Image upload requests still being monitored? If not, I would appreciate it if you or another user with the upload tag could take a look at my upload request.
- Finally, is there a page protection policy here? After searching through the help pages and guidelines, I couldn't find one. I think we need one since I noticed that Evolutionary biology careers is fully protected with no reason given, and there has been an outcry on the talk page.
Thanks, DashP 14:27, 20 March 2013 (EDT)
Dear Mr. Schlafly,
Regarding this edit, may I suggest that you discuss any such reorganization of the article on the talk page first (as did I) before you make it. Also, some people may view marking the edit as "minor" may be misleading. Many thanks, Wschact 15:00, 24 March 2013 (EDT)
Best Wishes to you & yours
May many blessings be yours on this day of remembrance. :-) Taj 02:36, 31 March 2013 (EDT)
- Happy Easter from me too --Alex00 08:11, 31 March 2013 (EDT)
- Happy Easter, Mr. Schlafly! GregG 09:12, 31 March 2013 (EDT)
Template:Personal remark removed
Dear Mr. Schlafly,
Can you please edit the template to move the
[[Category:Templates]] category inside the
noinclude element? This way, pages using the template are not categorized as Templates, which is what is happening now. Thanks, GregG 22:16, 31 March 2013 (EDT)
- Good suggestion, improved accordingly.--Andy Schlafly 23:05, 31 March 2013 (EDT)
Would you be able to unprotect the april fools day article and talk page ? For some reason User:Conservative decided to protect them both. On a more positive note, I hope your and your family had a happy and reflective Easter. Dvergne 11:45, 1 April 2013 (EDT)
- Done per request.--Andy Schlafly 11:52, 1 April 2013 (EDT)
- Thankyou for doing that. Added a few more examples. I am currently writing / improving the Thorium article and adding information about thorium reactors. I have a few diagmrams which show the energy and mass loss throughout the process. If I want to get them uploaded here where should I go and what should I do. Cheers Dvergne 12:07, 3 April 2013 (EDT)
Economics lecture six
Dear Mr. Schlafly,
Can you please have a look at Talk:Economics Lecture Six#NBA example? Thanks. GregG 19:33, 1 April 2013 (EDT)
No Nobel Prize was given for relativity
Andrew Schlafly, you have repeatedly stated that no Nobel Prize was given for relativity, Nobel Prizes have been awarded for applying relativity to electromagnetism, etc. So what's your spin (pun intended) on Paul Dirac's award in 1933? --AugustO 09:55, 2 April 2013 (EDT)
- Are you talking about Dirac's shared prize with Erwin Schrödinger for quantum mechanics? Quantum mechanics disproves the theory of relativity.--Andy Schlafly 11:27, 2 April 2013 (EDT)
- "Quantum mechanics disproves the theory of relativity." And how precisely is that? As an engineer -both by education and profession- I've never heard such. Please proceed to elaborate on your assertion. --DonnyC 13:56, 2 April 2013 (EDT)
- Quantum mechanics disproves relativity in several ways, such as the action at a distance that occurs in quantum mechanics despite the theory of relativity insisting that is impossible.--Andy Schlafly 20:39, 2 April 2013 (EDT)
Andrew Schlafly, when you know near to nothing about a subject but nevertheless insist on making general claims like quantum mechanics disproves the theory of relativity, your readers have difficulties to discern whether those are intentional follies (belated April Fool's Day pranks) or unintentional ones (examples of the Dunning-Kruger effect). Heck, I even added links to the article on Paul Dirac which could have helped you!
Yes, Paul Dirac got his prize for his contributions to quantum mechanics - but for reconciling Special Relativity and Quantum Theory!
"The importance of Dirac's work lies essentially in his famous wave equation, which introduced special relativity into Schrödinger's equation. Taking into account the fact that, mathematically speaking, relativity theory and quantum theory are not only distinct from each other, but also oppose each other, Dirac's work could be considered a fruitful reconciliation between the two theories."
As an engineer you are not expected to be well versed on this subject, but if you want to contribute without looking like a know-nothing, you should make yourself familiar with the facts. Keyword: Quantum electrodynamics (QED)
--AugustO 11:29, 3 April 2013 (EDT)
Grammar error on MPR
Dear Mr. Schlafly,
(This is cross-posted from User:Conservative/mail)
On MPR, we have the sentence "Obama Is [sic] spending $100 million dollars [sic] to try to undue [sic] God's confusion of language among other things." Not only is "Is" incorrectly capitalized, there is also a redundant use of the dollar sign and the word "dollars", and "undue" is not a verb. I have no idea what is meant by this prominent sentence.
Can you please fix this? Thanks, GregG 08:21, 3 April 2013 (EDT)
- Excellent suggestions, Greg. Corrected now.--Andy Schlafly 08:57, 3 April 2013 (EDT)
Hello can you please expand the Template:Liberalism with Corruption and animal rights? --Alex00 10:43, 3 April 2013 (EDT)
Dear Mr. Schlafly: I do not understand the edit that you just made to the E=mc2 article. Is your concern the placement of the extended discussion in the lead paragraph rather than a separate section, or did you disagree with the sourced statements about conservative views on the civilian use of nuclear energy to generate electricity? Thanks, Wschact 09:37, 5 April 2013 (EDT)
- The clearer, more informative introduction is preferred. Also, E=mc2 is not related to nuclear energy.--Andy Schlafly 10:11, 5 April 2013 (EDT)
- Andrew Schlafly, what's your theory from where the energy of nuclear fusion or fission does come? --AugustO 05:51, 6 April 2013 (EDT)
- I think we have a very polite but important difference of views here. As explained in E=mc2, the equatiion deals with energy and mass, it has no specific applicability to "light" per se. The equation was used to engineer both the A-bombs and the H-bombs as well as to predict the amount of energy released in all 109 nuclear reactors that currently generate electricity in the US. Of course, there are many more such reactors in other countries. the US Navy (and other countries) operate submarines powered by nuclear reactors. There are also small radiation sources powering various satellites in orbit. Assuming that E=mc2 were false "liberal claptrap", all of these would be designed and engineered by people who have no idea of how much energy will be released within them. This lack of scientific foundation for the nuclear engineering field would have profound implications for everyday life. Could you please direct me to a reliable source outside of Conservapedia that supports the other view? Many thanks, Wschact 08:06, 6 April 2013 (EDT)
- Andrew Schlafly, what's your theory from where the energy of nuclear fusion or fission does come? --AugustO 05:51, 6 April 2013 (EDT)
- Engineers are not even taught the liberal claptrap "E=mc2", and for good reason. The science fiction equation has nothing to do with anything in engineering.--Andy Schlafly 10:10, 6 April 2013 (EDT)
- Agree! --Joaquín Martínez 10:54, 6 April 2013 (EDT)
- Do we have any references to support the idea that E=mc2 contradicts the Book of Genesis? Do we have any references to support the idea that E=mc2 relates "light" to anything? Most nuclear engineering courses cover the physics and E=mc2. Thanks, Wschact 23:13, 6 April 2013 (EDT)
- Agree! --Joaquín Martínez 10:54, 6 April 2013 (EDT)
Glad you liked my ideas on upgrading the atheism, evolution and homosexuality articles
Glad you liked my ideas on upgrading the atheism, evolution and homosexuality articles. I will be implementing this in the next 30-90 days. This could certainly enhance their prominence on the internet.
Also, a reminder about reading the articles by the person who wants to help upgrade our collection of abortion articles. If you could read his articles, then we could beef up the Conservapedia Pro-life Project. Conservative 06:52, 6 April 2013 (EDT)
Reporting Vandals
Sorry to bother you but I just wanted to say thanks for blocking/deleting User:JohnSS I was reverting his vandalism as fast as I could while trying to figure out the proper way to report him to someone with blocking power. For future reference, what is the best way to go about that? Thanks, Fnarrow 17:46, 6 April 2013 (EDT)
- You could always post a comment here, as you just did.--Andy Schlafly 17:55, 6 April 2013 (EDT)
Sounds good, there's another one on a rampage right now: user:Cocacolatype Fnarrow 10:17, 7 April 2013 (EDT)
A little help
I was reviewing the news when I discovered that Senator McConnell's office was bugged. http://abcnews.go.com/Politics/sen-mitch-mcconnell-bugged-strategizing-ashley-judd/story?id=18914051#.UWVSpytvvuc What I found interesting was how the MSN was spinning the story. You may remember that James O'Keefe was loudly shouted down by the MSN for supposedly bugging another Senator's office in 2010. Yet, there is no outrage here. Instead, the story is spun to protect "poor ol' Ashley Judd". I think this is a valuable point to be added to Conservapedia. My question is where? It seems to have linkages to Liberal Double Standards, Hollywood Values, Media Bullying, and Liberal Deceit but I'm having a hard time distilling the story in a pity way. Any suggestions? Thanks, WilliamWB 07:58, 10 April 2013 (EDT)

Freshman skier signs sponsorship deal
February 1, 2012 | Lynchburg, VA
Jonathan Steltzer, a member of Liberty University's ski and snowboard team, recently signed a sponsorship deal with 4FRNT, a ski equipment and apparel company.
Steltzer, a freshman from Maine, credits the team and Liberty Mountain Snowflex Centre for helping to hone his freestyle skills and land the sponsorship.
"Basically all my tricks I've learned on Snowflex because it's so easy to adapt and learn tricks," he said.
The facility opened in 2009 and is the only slope of its kind in North America made of Snowflex, a synthetic material that simulates the effects of snow. Because it is open year-round, skiers and snowboarders have more opportunity to perfect their sport than those who can only practice during the winter months.
"Right away, we noticed something unique about Jon. His progression was increasing at a much faster pace here," said Drew Sherwood, general manager of Liberty Mountain Snowflex Centre. "With Jon being able to pick up a sponsorship, especially 4FRNT, which is a huge ski company especially in the freestyle industry, it shows a lot of good things about not only Jon, but our facility and what we've been able to help him do."
Taking full advantage of the slopes in the fall, Steltzer has practiced four days a week, five hours a day.
Although he has been skiing since he was 3, he began to take a real interest in the sport when he was 15. He first came to Snowflex while visiting his older brother Tim, a former captain of Liberty's ski team.
"(Snowflex has) a really positive atmosphere, everyone's real cool here. It's not just the people who work here, the skiers (too), we're all just a group of friends that hang out, help each other progress in the sport," Jonathan Steltzer said.
He will have his first chance to compete when the university hosts the College Freestyle Jam this Saturday, Feb. 4. The United States Collegiate Ski and Snowboard Association event will feature more than 80 top high school and college athletes.
The ski and snowboarding team is one of 29 club sports offered at Liberty.

The undercard has a flurry of added-money events. Race eleven is the historic GR II Dixie Stakes, to be run over the turf at 1-1/8th miles. The entry of Proudinsky and Musketier is listed as the program favorite. Both are German-breds; the former is the stronger half of the entry and is trained by Bobby Frankel, the latter is conditioned by Roger Attfield. Proudinsky is a two time winner of the Mervin Munez Handicap on the turf at the Fair Grounds.
Monba's co-owner Don Lucarelli said, "We've wanted to try the horse on the turf for a while. We actually went out to Santa Anita hoping to get the horse on the turf and it was rained off. This is an ideal opportunity. We hope we don't get much rain and we get a true read on the horse going over the surface. He's by Maria's Mon. The horse has done is best running on synthetics. We're just thinking that the horse may step up and if that's the case we'll probably try to pursue a turf career a little bit. This will be a good test to see how he does over the surface. He really hasn't trained over it. Hopefully we get a good read on him with a good surface to judge it."
Race ten is the six furlong Maryland Sprint Handicap GIII for three-year-olds and up headlined by Laurel Park based-Ah Day, trained by the legendary King Leatherbury, who is five for seven at the distance. The son of Malibu Moon faces seven others including Ravalo, a local runner from the Donald Barr stable who won the Allen's Prospect Stakes at Pimlico last year.
The Woodlawn Stakes, a one mile test on the turf for three-year-olds, is race nine. Ten runners are entered. Affirmatif is the program favorite. He has only started twice, but he won his first start by nine lengths and came back to just get just miss in a grassy allowance test at Keeneland. John Velazquez has the mount for trainer Todd Pletcher.
Sprinters will go six furlongs on the main track in race eight, the GIII Hirsch Jacobs Stakes. Taqarub, the morning line favorite, is three for five lifetime. Trained by Kiaran McLaughlin, he will be ridden by Alan Garcia.
The GIII Gallorette Handicap, which is race seven, will see eight fillies and mares race 1-1/16th miles on the turf. Dynaforce is the overwhelming favorite. She won stakes in France before arriving in the U.S., where she romped in the Grade I Flower Bowl at Belmont Park last fall. Garrett Gomez has the mount for trainer Bill Mott.
Maryland-bred routers are set to go in race six, the Deputed Testamony Stakes. The race is 1-1/16th miles on the main track and has attracted eleven runners, topped by Sumacha'hot (2-1) and Norjac (5-2), who will vie for post time favoritism.
The GIII William Donald Schaefer Stakes is the fourth race of the day. Seven runners are entered, topped by the lukewarm favorite Ready Set, a Michael Matz trainee. Julien Leparoux has the mount. Others listed to start in the 1-1/16th mile quest are Real Merchant, a router from Chili and Cave's Valley, who will represent the barn of Mike Trombetta.
The first added money race on the card is race two, the GII Allaire duPont Distaff Stakes. A field of seven is entered to race 1-1/16th miles, topped by the even money favorite entry of Sea Chanter and Skylighter.

Opportunity to Regain Momentum
NEW HAVEN, Conn. – The Yale men's fencing team will head to NYU in New York this weekend to defend their title at the Feb. 26 United States Collegiate Squad Championships, which they shared with No. 7 Penn.
The Bulldogs will venture down to New York after a fifth place finish at the Feb. 11-12 Ivy League Championships, held this year at home at Coxe Cage.
As such, the Elis will look to repeat last year's strong performance at the College Squad Championships. A strong result would position Yale well in advance of the Mar. 11 NCAA Northeast Regional.
At last year's competition, the Bulldogs earned a pair of silver medals and a bronze in a combined effort that scored them a total of 26 overall points and a share of the inaugural tournament.
The epee and foil weapons squads claimed silver medals while the sabre squad notched up a bronze medal-winning performance.
With a large portion of that winning team returning to Sunday's competition, the Elis are sure to be in with a shot of the title.
Report filed by James Lu '14, Yale Sports Publicity.
