[NaturalNews] Patients admitted under the care of the U.K.’s National Health Service (NHS) are at serious risk of falling victim to the nationalized health system’s “backdoor euthanasia” program, which is responsible for inducing death in tens of thousands of patients every single year. One young man admitted to St. George’s Hospital in South London, for instance, was literally dehydrated to death by lazy hospital workers in what appears to have been a combination of carelessness and covert euthanasia.
Kane Gorny, a 22-year-old footballer and runner who had survived a malignant brain tumor back in 2008, was admitted to St. George’s in 2009 for a hip operation caused by drug-induced bone weakness. But he ended up dying a horrific death just days into his stay as hospital staff appear to have either deliberately neglected him, or discreetly placed him on the controversial Liverpool Care Pathway (LCP) program, an end-of-life protocol originally intended for terminal patients to help them avoid needless pain and misery during the last few days of their lives.
According to the U.K.’s Daily Mail, Kane was an otherwise healthy young man who had been studying to be a locksmith and a cobbler. As long as Kane regularly took medication to regulate his fluid levels — the radiation and chemotherapy treatments he received for his brain cancer basically destroyed his pituitary gland, which naturally regulates fluid levels — he was just fine, and was otherwise in full recovery mode.
But all that changed once the NHS got its hands on the boy, who was deliberately withheld access to both his medicine and fluids while awaiting surgery at St. George’s. According to reports, hospital staff failed to evaluate Kane’s charts, and when he begged them to give him a drink because he was dehydrating, they heartlessly ignored him. He eventually called both his mother and the police from his hospital bed in a desperate plea for help.
When Kane’s mother Rita arrived, she witnessed atrocious treatment of her son by hospital staff, who insisted that the boy was just fine. But Rita observed that not only had her son still not received his vital medicine, but he had also been doped up on sedatives while being withheld access to hydration, two protocols that are linked to the LCP protocol.
By the next morning, Kane’s lips and tongue had swollen, which prompted his mother to alert nurses about the situation. But once again, they arrogantly ignored her warnings and insisted the boy was just fine. Shortly thereafter, however, a doctor making the rounds noticed Kane’s condition and, in a panic, alerted hospital staff to come and tend to him.
But it was too late. A few minutes later, Kane died in a pool of his own blood and fluids, and all as a result of nurses refusing to properly hydrate him the day prior, and possibly even several days before that. An otherwise healthy boy, in other words, ended up dying in extreme pain at the hands of the U.K.’s NHS, which appears to have covertly enrolled him in the LCP protocol.
Liverpool Care Pathway now commonly used for ‘backdoor euthanasia’ at NHS hospitals
A similar situation occurred the same year to a 98-year-old woman who was admitted to an NHS hospital for an infection. She was quickly put on the LCP protocol, which included denying her access to proper hydration and heavily sedating her. The otherwise active and healthy woman ended up dying within three days of being admitted under NHS care. (http://www.dailymail.co.uk)
“Under the Liverpool Care Pathway, doctors can withdraw fluids and drugs from patients if they are deemed close to death. Many are then put on continuous sedation so they can die free of pain,” explains the Daily Mail. “But sedation can often mask signs of improvement, meaning doctors may be closing the door on people who would otherwise live for months.”

Homeopathic remedies alleviate heat exhaustion and heat stroke

[NaturalNews] When the dog days of summer arrive, it’s important to protect not only against sunburn, but heat exhaustion and heat stroke. Overexposure to the sun and excessive heat causes loss of fluids leading to dehydration, low electrolytes and an increase in body temperature. This is caused not only by high atmospheric temperatures but by over-exposure to the sun, or performing manual work during high temperatures and high humidity. Certain illnesses can make an individual more prone to heat exhaustion as well as drinking alcohol. Young children and the elderly are most at risk, but anyone can suffer, so caution is advised.
Symptoms
Heat cramps: Excessive loss of fluids from sweating on very hot days can cause heat cramps due to a deficiency in electrolytes. The individual is not dehydrated. Drinking a cool drink with added electrolytes or green coconut juice will speed recovery.
Heat exhaustion: Loss of fluids and electrolytes can also produce a condition where there is nausea, dizziness, weakness, cramps, headache and fainting. In the instance of heat exhaustion, the person will be dehydrated. Replacing bodily fluids and having the person lay down in a cool room helps with recovery.
Heat stroke: When the body is unable to control its temperature after lengthy exposure to heat and the sun, sometimes a fatal condition known as heat stroke occurs. An early sign is the lack of sweating. The body temperature may rise to 105 degrees Fahrenheit or higher and there will also be dehydration and a loss of electrolytes. Seizures, severe headache, confusion and rapid breathing are also evident. This is an emergency situation and generally calls for immediate medical attention.
What’s REALLY causing your headache?

[NaturalNews] Are you sick of that throbbing, tight, aching headache day in and day out? Spending countless dollars on “headache relieving” medications, with no relief? The answer may be much easier than popping an ineffectual pill with multiple side effects, one of which is a HEADACHE! Finding the source of your headache, whether it be from your neck, tight muscles, or the food you are eating, chiropractic care can help to reduce or eliminate your symptoms, sometimes after only one or two treatments.
Headaches can start for many reasons, some may include:
• Prescription drug side effects
• Nervous system dysfunction caused by the vertebral subluxation complex (VSC); (Nerves, muscles, soft tissues, bones and chemicals all make up the VSC).
• Tight (hypertonic) muscles in the head, neck, shoulders (caused by “text neck”/forward head posture)
• Processed foods (preservatives, artificial colors, chemical substitutes)
• Vitamin B or D deficiencies
• Dehydration
The effects of technology on our bodies
Most of us spend too much time looking down at the computer screen, reading on tablets, or texting on our cell phones. The constant flexed neck posture (“text-neck”) causes the muscles at the base of the skull (suboccipitals) to become stretched tight. This forward head posture places increased stress on your neck causing your cervical spine and upper back muscles to work harder to keep your head and chin upright. Soft tissue and joint manipulation performed by a chiropractor can help reduce tight muscles, trigger points, and joint irritations.
Food and drugs may be to blame
Food additives such as Splenda, aspartame, MSG, wheat/gluten, soy, high fructose corn syrup, and sodium nitrates found in lunch meats/hot dogs contain chemicals that have been linked to causing headaches. Avoiding toxic ingredients will help reduce dietary causes of headaches. Another important fact to note is that nine of the top ten prescribed drugs in the United States list headaches as a side effect; including Zocor, Prilosec and Amoxicillin.
Treating the cause of your headache… naturally
“A report released in 2001 by researchers at the Duke University Evidence-Based Practice Center in Durham, NC, found that spinal manipulation resulted in almost immediate improvement for those headaches that originate in the neck, and had significantly fewer side effects and longer-lasting relief of tension-type headache than a commonly prescribed medication” (The American Chiropractic Association).
Knowing what’s in your food, the side effects of the drugs you take, having adequate Vitamins B/D, staying hydrated, and having a chiropractor find the source of your headaches can help to alleviate the pain you’ve been suffering with day after day.
