6 Unnecessary Health Tests
by Elizabeth Renter
Natural Society
July 1, 2012
Typically, if you are interested in natural healing and preventative health, you aren’t the type to make an appointment with an M.D. for every little symptom. You probably aren’t asking your doctor for more health tests. But, other people are.
With so many medical information sites online, people are perhaps overly-informed when it comes to different diseases, conditions, and illnesses, contacting their doctor with fear in their voice, “I think I might have______. Can we run a test for that?”
Regardless of who you are or what your personal health philosophy is, it’s good to have some sense of what medical diagnostics are useful and which are totally unnecessary and overused. Here are five especially unnecessary health tests that you should know about.
- DEXA – This test is called dual energy X-ray absorptiometry and is used to detect bone strength and bone density, potentially providing people with a forewarning of their chances of developing osteoporosis. The problem with the test, however, is that measurements can say one thing one day and another the next. Also, two scans performed back to back on different machines will deliver different results. In other words, the results are unreliable. Also, it only measures bone mineral density, which isn’t the total picture when it comes to bone strength.
- Full Body CT Scans – One of many health tests full of radiation, you could pay several hundred or even a thousand bucks to have a CT scan, looking for any abnormalities. This one is a warning to those folks who just want to be on the safe side: don’t do it. Getting a full body CT scan is a little like paying a mechanic to take apart your engine to make sure nothing is wrong when your car is running smoothly. It’s unnecessary overkill. This unnecessary CT scan radiation has also been shown to triple brain tumor risk in children.
- PSA Testing – This is a blood test used to detect a protein produced by the prostate gland. High levels of this protein (prostate-specific antigen) can indicate prostate cancer. But, the association isn’t always right and the cancer isn’t always deadly. “The PSA test usually leads to overdiagnosis—biopsies and treatment in which the side effects are impotence and incontinence.”
- Home Menopause Testing – This test, which can be purchased at some drug stores, is said to tell a woman if she is going through her “life change.” But, like many other tests on this list, it’s unreliable. Particularly if you are using it to determine whether or not you still need birth control, it might be worth a visit to the doctor.
- Home Alzheimer’s Test – A scratch-and-sniff test for Alzheimer’s? Yes, really. Because a loss of smell has been associated with Alzheimer’s disease, this test says it can indicate the disease by testing your sniffer. Unfortunately, the link between smelling and Alzheimer’s is rare and is also indicative of other neurological conditions—or nothing more than “a smelling problem.”
- Breast Cancer Screenings – Among the most overused health tests, mammograms are unnecessarily pushed on women, only to cause harm. One study estimated that between 1,169 and 1,148 women of 2,500 tested were over-diagnosed and received unnecessary treatment. Even mainstream health officials are now admitting that breast cancer screening methods are not only ineffective, but are leading to improper diagnosis and unnecessary treatments at around 7,000 per year.

Kyodo: No. 4 Spent Fuel Pool’s Cooling System Stopped After Alarm Sounds
By ENENews
June 30, 2012
The cooling system for a spent fuel pool at the crippled Fukushima Daiichi power plant’s No. 4 reactor automatically suspended operation Saturday morning after an alarm issued a warning at around 6:25 a.m., Tokyo Electric Power Co. said.
The water temperature of the pool was 31 C at the time of the suspension, and leakage of water with radioactive materials has not been confirmed, TEPCO said, adding it is unlikely the temperature will rise rapidly.

The Morgellon’s Hexagon

[Potent News editor’s note: Please refer to this “wayback machine” version of this article for the intact photographs that no longer appear here since the Morgellons Research Group website no longer seems to be active.

Morgellons patients often feel they have been cursed or hexed. Actually we are. Here is proof: Hexagons showing up in our skin and in the environment.The imaged hexagon was from a patient who sent this to our group. We are attempting to isolate this alone, and find out all its characteristics, how formed and what elements or processes create it. So, far, we have not found answers other than carbon and chlorine present. However, the idea that a gas may form this, including an arc is intriguing.
Jan Smith on her website www.morgellonsexposed.com has delved into the formation of this and describes this “stacking hexagon” in the “birth of a hexagon”…
The photos below are of strange geometric shapes and oddities that have emerged from Morgellons lesions. The Hexagons may be a form of SMART DUST. I have only had a couple of these myself but there are others who are also finding hexagons and other shapes. I have included those here along with mine. The Chaos Hexagons were Raman tested at SUNY at Stony Brook. The material of the hexagons and the glue-like material that held them together were not in the Raman database and are still unidentified material.

Below are images of hexagons embedded in material. Notice how the hexagons seem to be inside the filament. Could and can these be the hexagons and the pentagons, possibly made of sugar or glucose, mannose, or even resin make the pentamer and the hexagon is made of some kind of metalloprotein Jan Smith’s observations needed to be considered and discussed in the Morgellon Community. She explains the images.
All I can say is if anyone thinks that Morgellons disease is about “bugs” they are missing some very important implications and being lead in the wrong direction. As surreal as this all seems, it is grim a reality to many of us who have to live with Morgellons disease. I hope the public will wake up soon and help us. This is a highly technical and futuristic lab-created disease.

At a later time these clumps of multiple hexagons were removed. These were hard clumps that were bronze in color and were glued together with some kind of biofilm.
The photo below is the shape of Nanotechnology. You will notice that the shapes are also hexagons.

MRG’s collection of hexagons can be found on this website. Recently new hexagons have been sent to the group. These below are very interesting. One can see on the third image where a rolled type strand of material or filament seems to construct or self assemble the hexagon itself. Please hear the message from Valerie. This cannot be taken lightly!
Hi, I took these photos of a hexagon on my face with a microscope camera. The shape seems identical to a blue one you have. My sons have the disease too. Can you help us? My younger son had a turquoise hexagon but I didnt know what it was back then. Thanks, Val

Basic Structural Description
Graphite is composed of carbon atoms that are arranged in poly-aromatic, hexagonal ring arrays. These arrays can be looked at as an infinite series of fused benzene rings without the hydrogen atoms. Carbon atoms in these arrays are in the sp2-hybridized state. In the sp2 molecular orbital model (Figure 3), each carbon atom is typically attached to three other species, three other carbon atoms in the case of graphite. In this bonding mode, the bond angle of carbon is 120 deg. Ring arrays form sheets of carbon atoms, and individual sheets are known as graphene layers. Graphene layers are stacked one on top of another, parallel with the “c” crystallographic axis of the hexagonal 4-axis system in which graphite crystallizes.

Arc Evaporation
… There is a third class of structure in which the hexagons are arranged helically around the tubeaxis ... In practice, the caps are rarely hemispherical in shape, but can have a variety of morphologies; a typical example is shown inFig. 1.4. More complexcap structures are often observed, owing to the presence of heptagonal as well as pentagonal carbon rings (1.21).

A solid-state mechanism for CVD growth?
As outlined in the previous chapter (p. 34), several groups have proposed that the production of single-walled nanotubes by laser vaporization might involve a solid-state mechanism in which the metal particles convert solid, disordered carbon into nanotubes.The suggestion that the CVD synthesis of SWNTs might also involve a solid-state transformation has not been previously raised, so it is worth considering whether such a mechanism would be feasible.A possible scenario is given inFig. 3.19.The first stage in the process (Fig. 3.19a ) is the condensation of curved, fullerene-related, carbonaceous fragments on the surfaces of the catalyst. Literature reports suggest that significant amounts of disordered carbon could deposit on the catalyst surfaces under the conditions used for CVD. For example Baiet al. have shown that methane readily decomposes to carbon over alumina at 850°C (3.129). It cannot be said with certainty whether this carbon would have a fullerene-related structure, but there are many studies which show that C formed by condensation from the vapour consists of assemblies of small curved sheets (3.130), and this curvature may indicate the presence of fullerene-like elements.The second stage in the process is the conversion of the rather disordered carbon clustersinto single-walled tubes, promoted by the metal particles (Fig. 3.19b). The experiments(a)(b)Fig. 3.19Schematic illustration of the solid-state’mechanism for the growth of single-walled carbonnanotubes by catalytic CVD.

It does seem that the metal particles(hexagons) convert the carbon clusters (granules) into nanotubes. If the hexagons are Nickle coated, many people are allergic to Nickel. Or if cobalt is used? Are these used to capture radiation? Or are they actually radiative particles? It also appears that single C atoms are the core. So, would this be called the “Nano-C”?
From left to right: Diamond, graphite, and fullerene.Fullerenes @ Nano-C
The commercial viability of fullerenes was ensured when Nano-C launched its business in 2001, based on patented technology developed by Dr. Jack Howard at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.
Uniquely scalable combustion-based process technology.
Scalability is an important question to ask as one envisions the successful launch of a new product. Nano-C has demonstrated the scalability of its II-G process. In addition, large-scale commercial combustion-based processes include carbon black and fumed silica. Nano-C’s efficient and scalable combustion process assures commercial viability and pricing that reflect the increasing benefits of economies of scale.
Solvent-free
Nano-C’s as-produced fullerenes are pure, and can be made solvent FREE.Form
As individual molecules, fullerenes are about 1 nm in diameter. This compares to 0.16 nm for a water molecule. During manufacture, these molecules come together to form small particles (10 nm to several microns). They are readily handled, or can be easily pelletized. They exhibit solubility in many solvents, but are not soluble on their own in water. For enhanced solubility requirements in water or lipids, please see our line of fullerene derivatives.http://www.nano-c.com/fullerenes.html
Typical nanoparticles that have been studied are titanium dioxide, alumina, zinc oxide, carbon black, and carbon nanotubes, and “nano-C60“.Nanoparticles have much larger surface area to unit mass ratios which in some cases may lead to greater pro-inflammatory effects (in, for example, lung tissue). In addition, some nanoparticles seem to be able to translocate from their site of deposition to distant sites such as the blood and the brain. This has resulted in a sea-change in how particle toxicology is viewed- instead of being confined to the lungs, nanoparticle toxicologists study the brain, blood, liver, skin and gut. Nanotoxicology has revolutionised particle toxicology and rejuvenated it.
Things to consider. Are there any nanotoxicologists willing to work with us? We would welcome your support and knowledge on this matter.

Don’t Be Alarmed: Troops Train For Martial Law With Tanks on the Streets of America As Corporate Media Runs Cover Up [videos included]
By Alex Thomas
theintelhub.com
June 25, 2012
In a move that many have seen as yet another sign of the continued push towards martial law and the normal use of troops on the streets of America, the U.S. Army is currently “training” throughout St. Louis, complete with 100′s of heavily armored military vehicles driving through St Louis neighborhoods.
The exercise, part of a program to train military police to drive heavily armored vehicles through highways and city streets, has drawn widespread criticism throughout the alternative media while the corporate media has essentially worshiped it, going out of their way to distort the facts in their numerous propaganda pieces on the subject.
In an initial report by a local corporate news outlet that was prompted by hundreds of calls from concerned citizens who had, in a scene more reminiscent of North Korea than a supposed free country, seen the military rolling through their neighborhood, the media simply told the citizens to not be alarmed.
The absurd reporting by the corporate media is simply a continuation of their shilling for the military industrial complex and the globalist takeover of America.
To add to this absurdity, the military officer in the report basically told U.S. citizens to not film armored vehicles rolling through THEIR neighborhoods.
Now, in a report by another corporate media lackey, those that have spoken out against this martial law type training have been attacked and labeled as cooky conspiracy theorists even though there are literally dozens of open admissions by the military that they are planning to use troops on American streets.
Nearly every local news outlet has reported the story:
This week the Army plans to drive armored vehicles through city streets as part of a training exercise it is holding at its reserve center in north St. Louis.
But it was KSDK’s version of the story last Thursday that really ignited the crazies.
Like Orson Welles’ broadcast of War of the Worlds, KSDK anchorman Mike Bush began the 10 p.m. newscast.
The author of this hit piece apparently thinks so low of his readers that he is actually labeling those that read official Army statements as crazies.
Last year we reported on a plan by the Pentagon to deploy a 20,000 strong (that is only the admitted number) force INSIDE the United States to trained and deployed by late 2011.
In 2008 The Pentagon announced plans to deploy a 20,000 strong internal troop force inside the continental United States (CONUS) that was set to be trained by 2011, thus dovetailing into the current troop and equipment movements around the country reported by truckers as well as many more troop sightings by everyday citizens.
We also noted how this directly correlates with a major Rand Corporation policy paper that called for a military police force to operate inside the country.
Interestingly enough, this plan directly correlates with a 2009, Army funded, Rand Corporation study that called for an internal United States police force to combat civil unrest.
The Pentagon has been training to use either U.S. troops or foreign military against the American people for years. There are literally hundreds of examples of this happening yet all we get from the corporate media is either direct lies or claims that the takeover is actually good.
Foreign Affairs, the influential globalist mouthpiece of the Council on Foreign Relations, has recently called for the Army to be used in a local police force capacity.
An article published in the May/June issue of Foreign Affairs, the mouthpiece for the influential Council on Foreign Relations, Chief of Staff of the U.S. Army, General Raymond T. Odierno, advocates the army be “transitioned” into a more “flexible force” by deploying in situations normally reserved for domestic law enforcement officials. He argues that by doing so, troops will be better equipped to deal with conflict elsewhere.
In 2011 we again reported on the startling fact that the Air Force was actually taking part in arrests in local convenience stores.
In Florida City The Air Force has set up a crime hotline, which has now been removed from their website, as well as taken part in arrests at local convenience stores.
On July 15, military police – known as Security Forces patrolmen – detained a criminal suspect at a Circle K in until Miami-Dade police arrived.
In April of this year heavily armed military officers descended on downtown Chicago in black helicopters which was again labeled by the local corporate media as completely routine and actually a good thing.
In a shocking display of the police state and the creeping push towards actual martial law, heavily armed military officers in black helicopters swooped through downtown Chicago in what was billed as a routine military exercise.
Up to three Blackhawk Helicopters flew in formation and separately around downtown office buildings and apartments for at least three hours.
Again in April 2012 and this time in Crookston, MN, fully armed troops were photographed walking through neighborhood streets.
Libertarian Review – The photo shown at left was taken by a subscriber in the city of Crookston, MN from the front porch of her suburban home. No, the men pictured aren’t from the local high school’s J.R.O.T.C sqaud – they are in fact trained soldiers serving in the Minnessota National Guard, Unit 2-136 CAB / B Company.
In May 2012 the local corporate media in Florida literally characterized the invasion of the military, complete with black helicopters and simulated explosions, onto local streets a, “cool tourist story.”
“I got a kick out of it that’s for sure.”
The examples listed above are just a few of the countless pieces of evidence that indicate a very real push towards a martial law type existence in America.
They also completely debunk the notion that only crazy conspiracy theorists think this is a possibility.
Another important fact to note is that this disgusting display of repeated military and globalist industrial complex propaganda is due to the fact that most media outlets are owned by 6 corporations with direct connections to all the major defense contractors.
Note: This is not an article attacking individual military members. There are many patriotic Americans within the U.S. military who are disgusted by the upper brass and their push to use them against their own people.
The upper levels of our military have been hijacked by the globalists and are being directed to slowly implement the use of troops against Americans.
The only chances we have as a free people are the continued waking up of the populace and, perhaps more importantly, individual service members refusing to act against the people as the globalists move into their final phase of the destruction of America.
Syria Masses Tanks on Turkey Border as Tensions Soar
by Jason Ditz
Antiwar.com
June 29, 2012
On Tuesday, Turkey deployed a number of tanks to their border with Syria, terming the nation a “clear and present threat” to the Turkish government’s security and vowing to shoot any Syrian troops perceived as “too close” to the border.
The tensions haven’t cooled since then, and Syria has now sent some 170 tanks to the Turkish border, just northwest of Aleppo, in an effort to fortify the area against a possible Turkish incursion. Free Syrian Army (FSA) leadership speculated that the tanks were planning to attack rebels in the area, but it doesn’t seem to be about them.
