After adding trillions to the debt on big-government policies most Americans didn't ask for and which we couldn't afford, Democratic leaders say they need more money, which they intend to take from small business, even though small businesses create the majority of new jobs.

I'm sounding off on this..... It's long but read it!
THE IMPLANTABLE RFID CHIP- IS IN THE HEALTHCARE BILL! once the entire population is "chipped" - they can shut you down for failure to comply with any of their crimes, sins and laws- this would cut you off from healthcare- banking- making purchases- and in a nutshell- living.

Nationa...l Medical Device Registry
(g)(1) The Secretary shall establish a national medical device registry (in this subsection referred to as the ‘registry’) to facilitate analysis of postmarket safety and outcomes data on each device that (A) is or has been used in or on a patient; and ‘‘(B) is (i) a class III device; or (ii) a class II device that is implantable, life-supporting, or life-sustaining.
(2) In developing the registry, the Secretary shall,
in consultation with the Commissioner of Food and Drugs, the Administrator of the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, the head of the Office of the National Coordinator for Health Information Technology, and the Secretary of Veterans Affairs, determine the best methods for— ‘‘(A) including in the registry, in a manner consistent with subsection (f), appropriate information
to identify each device described in paragraph (1) by type, model, and serial number or other unique identifier;
(B) validating methods for analyzing patient safety and outcomes data from multiple sources and for linking such data with the information included in the registry as described in subparagraph (A), including, to the extent feasible, use of (i) data provided to the Secretary under other provisions of this chapter; and ‘‘(ii) information from public and private sources identified under paragraph (3); ‘‘(C) integrating the activities described in this subsection with—
(i) activities under paragraph (3) of section 505(k) (relating to active postmarket risk identification);
(ii) activities under paragraph (4) of section 505(k) (relating to advanced analysis of drug safety data); and
(iii) other postmarket device surveillance activities of the Secretary authorized by this chapter; and (D) providing public access to the data and analysis collected or developed through the registry in a manner and form that protects patient privacy
and proprietary information and is comprehensive, useful, and not misleading to patients, physicians, and scientists.
(3)(A) To facilitate analyses of postmarket safety and patient outcomes for devices described in paragraph
(1), the Secretary shall, in collaboration with public, academic, and private entities, develop methods to—
(i) obtain access to disparate sources of patient safety and outcomes data, including—
(I) Federal health-related electronic data (such as data from the Medicare pro-gram under title XVIII of the Social Security Act or from the health systems of the Department of Veterans Affairs);
(II) private sector health-related electronic data (such as pharmaceutical purchase data and health insurance claims data); and
(III) other data as the Secretary deems necessary to permit postmarket assessment of device safety and effectiveness;
and

(ii) link data obtained under clause (i) with information in the registry.

(B) In this paragraph, the term ‘data’ refers to information respecting a device described in paragraph (1), including claims data, patient survey data, standardized analytic files that allow for the pooling and analysis of data from disparate data environments, electronic health records, and any other data deemed appropriate by the Secretary.

a “class II implantable device.” I’m trying to figure out what that means:

Btw, this doesn’t sound like a pacemaker to me) “This guidance document was developed as a special control guidance to support the classification of the implantable radiofrequency transponder system for patient identification and health information into class II (special controls). The device is intended to enable access to secure patient identification and corresponding health information in humans. This guidance is issued in conjunction with a Federal Register notice announcing the classification of implantable radiofrequency transponder system for patient identification and health information.”

Could you also help me understand: what do suppose it means on p 503 ” medical device

Call me paranoid, but I’d like to know what is going on…. I’d feel more comfortable second guessing these things before the fact….rather than after. These are serious red flags that we need to pay careful attention to…imo.

Radio Frequency Implantable Device (RFID) use on humans can no longer be claimed as speculation or theory. Their use is now well documented and integrated in several planned strategies for the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services and Health Care Bills. These disturbing initiatives will see microchip implants embedded inside every American, and possibly inside every human within the next few years.
Richard Schmid has worked in radiological health for more than a decade. He has been researching RFID chips for most of his professional career and has worked extensively with RF devices in all levels of radiological medicine. He admits that his analysis of U.S. Health Care Bills and RFID documentation is alarming. “I don’t think most people understand the magnitude of what is happening with the health care legislation being imposed on Americans,” he stated.

Schmid says that RFID chips have already been implanted in thousands of people around the world, many without their knowledge. “Some of these devices are so small and scalable, that they are capable of being inserted in food, patches, medications, hypodermic needles and even inside vaccines.” A recent report from PreventDisease.com detailed how populations are being primed for nano-microchips inside vaccines.

“I used to joke with colleagues about pandemic scenarios and airborne plagues and how that would be the only way for people to submit to implantable chips….I just never thought it would come true in the exact scenario I had imagined.” Schmid said that the current situation in the Ukraine and media blackout in the west are a bad sign of things to come.

As the World Health Organization (WHO) continues to deceive the world on the current pandemic affecting the Ukraine and surrounding area, many experts well-versed in the WHO’s manipulation are calling the current reporting of Ukraine’s pandemic as one of the most deceptive in the agency’s history. Not only is the WHO refusing to release the actual number of deaths, but they also continue to delay the release of critical sequencing data for the mutated strain. The illness has infected well over one million people in the Ukraine and has spread to neighboring countries with similar infection rates. The actual number of deaths are rumoured to be much higher than those reported by the Ukraine government and the WHO.

Schmid added that people who initially refuse the device will not be able to obtain or renew essential documents like passports, driver’s licenses, med cards, and all credit/banking cards. “It’s a totally new electronic system, but they’ve been developing it for years and it will soon be integrated with all National ID cards around the world.” Schmid says the public will not be able to get back on to the grid without the RFID, something that will eventually be required from every nation.

In December 10, 2004, a document was released by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services that detailed special controls guidance for radio frequency transponders of patient identification. The document details everything from the performance testing to the electromagnetic and resonance imaging capabilities of the device. The FDA cleared VeriChip for medical applications in the U.S. two months before the document was released.

VeriChip is the first Food and Drug Administration (FDA)-approved human-implantable radio-frequency identification (RFID) microchip. About twice the length of a grain of rice, the device is typically implanted above the triceps area of an individual’s right arm. Once scanned at the proper frequency, the VeriChip responds with a unique 16 digit number which could be then linked with information about the user held on a database for identity verification, medical records access, and used for identification by a third party.
In May 2005, the U.S. Congress passed the “Real ID” Act, which required states to issue federally approved driver’s licenses or identification (ID) cards to those who live and work in the United States. The identity cards will eventually be integrated with the RFID chips if one wants to drive, visit a federal government building, collect Social Security, access a federal government service or use the services of a private entity (such as a bank or an airline) that is required under federal law to verify customer identity. The goal is to make it nearly impossible to live without such an ID.

A Florida-based company that boasts selling the world’s first and only federally approved radio microchip for implanting in humans is now turning its development branch toward “emergency preparedness,” hoping to produce an implant that can automatically detect in its host’s bloodstream the presence of swine flu or other viruses deemed a “bio-threat.”

VeriChip Corporation currently sells a small, under-the-skin Radio Frequency Identification capsule, or RFID, that patients can opt to have implanted, containing a number computer-linked to their medical records, enabling doctors with a special reader to access the information even if the patient is unconscious or unidentified.

But VeriChip has also turned its attention to other uses for the technology, including microchips that be used to tag and log human remains after a disaster and implants the company hopes will be able to warn if their host is infected with the H1N1 swine flu virus, the H5N1 bird flu virus or other pandemic agents deemed to be a “bio-threat.”

VeriChip has also announced earlier this month additional forays into emergency preparedness through its VeriTrace system.

According to a statement, the company sold a VeriTrace system, including 1,000 RFID microchips, to Kentucky’s Green River District Health Department “for disaster preparedness and emergency management needs.”
The company explains that VeriTrace, a separate system from its virus detection or patient records technology, was created in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina, where it was used by the Federal Disaster Mortuary Operational Response Team. The system includes the microchips, a Bluetooth handheld reader, a customized camera that receives both RFID scanned data and GPS data wirelessly and a web-based database for storing information and images captured during emergency response operations.

The microchips are implanted in human remains following a disaster or, according to one report from the Katrina catastrophe, duct-taped to bones, in order to maintain detailed records, particularly in events that result in hundreds or thousands of fatalities.

It goes without saying, of course, that this new “Med-Chip” these American’s will be forced to have put inside them will not only control their access to medical resources, but will also enable their government to know their whereabouts, spending habits, and so much more…

And for those American’s believing they will be able to escape from having these Med-Chips implanted in them they better think again, because, as they will soon discover to their horror, under the laws of their country designed to protect them against pandemics, and other such health emergencies, their president, and governments, have unlimited power and can order their citizens to do, or take, anything their officials tell them to.

The news that Novartis wants a deal with Proteus Biomedical to produce a microchip implant called “Raisin” that will text your mobile phone when it’s time to take another pill, and VeriChip’s efforts to link microchip implants to online health records, has caused two separate controversies that seem bound to collide: some Christians believe the devices are eerily similar to the “mark of the beast” as described in the book of Revelation; while “singularity” buffs — those who look forward to the merger of humans and intelligent technology — regard it as a bold step forward in improving health.

A seriously chilling “confidential” report prepared by the US-based Russian think tank Institute for Democracy and Cooperation (IDC), and given to President Medvedev’s office this week, on the turmoil surrounding the “health care” debate currently raging in the United States claims that this “engineered controversy” is, in fact, being used as a “cover” to mask the planned microchiping of the entire American population by 2012.
According to this report, America’s propaganda corporate-government media organs have embarked this past summer on a programme of dividing its citizens along its many false fracture lines (racial/right-left/Democrat-Re​publican, pro gun-anti gun, etc.) over the Obama administrations plan to provide for the American people universal health care coverage.

To how far the Obama administration has already gone in their planning to put these Med-Chips in their citizens, one only need look at the curious interactions between the US government and the only company licensed in the United States (since 2004) to implant microchips in human beings called the VeriChip Corporation.

Now what is widely known about the VeriChip Corporation and their microchip we can read from one report that states:

“VeriChip is the first Food and Drug Administration (FDA)-approved human-implantable radio-frequency identification (RFID) microchip. It is marketed by VeriChip Corporation, a subsidiary of Applied Digital Solutions, and it received United States FDA approval in 2004. About twice the length of a grain of rice, the device is typically implanted above the triceps area of an individual’s right arm.[1] Once scanned at the proper frequency, the VeriChip responds with a unique 16 digit number which could be then linked with information about the user held on a database for identity verification, medical records access and other uses. The insertion procedure is performed under local anesthetic in a physician’s office. As an implanted device used for identification by a third party.”

What is NOT widely known about this VeriChip Corporation is the “new direction” they have taken since Obama has taken office, and as we can read directly from the website of their new subsidiary, VeriGreen Energy Corporation, and which says:

“In March 2009, the Company formed a new subsidiary, VeriGreen Energy Corporation, to invest in the clean and alternative energy sector. The Company is currently evaluating several opportunities and is looking to invest in companies with existing operations and infrastructure.
Following the recently signed stimulus package, which will invest nearly $79 billion in renewable energy, the Company’s investments in clean and alternative sources of energy will complement its existing healthcare initiatives.”

Now, what this IDC report says about VeriChip Corporation’s “sudden conversion” from being a maker of implantable microchips, to one of becoming a “green energy” giant lies not with them, but rather with Obama’s “Green Jobs Czar”, Van Jones, a man who is not only one of his President’s closest advisors, but is also an unashamed, and unapologetic, leftist radical and communist who is the sole determiner in who does, or doesn’t, receive billions in US taxpayer dollars already approved into law for dispersal for American’s green energy future, including an estimated $3 Billion to VeriGreen Energy Corporation.
The Obama Health care bill under Class II (Paragraph 1, Section B) specifically includes ‘‘(ii) a class II device that is implantable.” Then on page 1004 it describes what the term “data” means in paragraph 1, section B:

14 ‘‘(B) In this paragraph, the term ‘data’ refers to in15
formation respecting a device described in paragraph (1),
16 including claims data, patient survey data, standardized
17 analytic files that allow for the pooling and analysis of
18 data from disparate data environments, electronic health
19 records, and any other data deemed appropriate by the
20 Secretary”

What exactly is a class II device that is implantable? Lets see…

Approved by the FDA, a class II implantable device is a “implantable radiofrequency transponder system for patient identification and health information.” The purpose of a class II device is to collect data in medical patients such as “claims data, patient survey data, standardized analytic files that allow for the pooling and analysis of data from disparate data environments, electronic health records, and any other data deemed appropriate by the Secretary.”

This sort of device would be implanted in the majority of people who opt to become covered by the public health care option. With the reform of the private insurance companies, who charge outrageous rates, many people will switch their coverage to a more affordable insurance plan. This means the number of people who choose the public option will increase. This also means the number of people chipped will be plentiful as well. The adults who choose to have a chip implanted are the lucky (yes, lucky) ones in this case. Children who are “born in the United States who at the time of birth is not otherwise covered under acceptable coverage” will be qualified and placed into the CHIP or Children’s Health Insurance Program (what a convenient name). With a name like CHIP it would seem consistent to have the chip implanted into a child. Children conceived by parents who are already covered under the public option will more than likely be implanted with a chip by the consent of the parent. Eventually everyone will be implanted with a chip. And with the price and coverage of the public option being so competitive with the private companies, the private company may not survive.

A wise and frugal government, which shall leave men free to regulate their own pursuits of industry and improvement, and shall not take from the mouth of labor the bread it has earned - this is the sum of good government.
Thomas Jefferson

Let us be sure that those who come after will say of us in our time, that in our time we did everything that could be done. We finished the race; we kept them free; we kept the faith.

WE ARE BEING POISONED
August 15, 2011

With all the concerns that WE THE PEOPLE are having to endure now, we have an added concern of
being poisoned by a very evil chemical company that has been given permission to poison us by our
government. The objectivism of thescientific method seems to have been hijacked by corporations who often pay for scientists to support their products, as well as politicians by corporations who move through the revolving door between the private and public sector.

 Even worse is that sometimes the consumer protection agencies themselves are complicit. The trust placed by consumers in scientific studies and Federal oversight committees has been violated in service to profit so the products are allowed to enter the marketplace with reduced safety standards. The synthetic chemicals we encounter on a daily basis in our food, water, and environment are increasingly shown to be disastrous to our physical and mental well being. Volumes have been written by experts in both mainstream and alternative medicine who have documented the sleight of hand used to hoodwink consumers and threaten our health. The categories below are worth deeper investigation as prime examples of what we might face as a species of this chemical bombardment continues. Dan Quayle couldn't spell potato, but he made sure they'd be genetically engineered. Here's howMonsanto got their permit to poison us:
On May 26, 1992, George Bush's Vice-President, Dan Quayle, proclaimed the Bush administration's
new policy on bio-engineered food.“The reforms we announce today will speed up and simplify the process of bringing better agricultural products, developed through bio-tech, to consumers, food processors and farmers," Mr. Quayle told a crowd of executives and reporters in the Indian Treaty Room of the Old Executive Office Building. "We will ensure that bio-tech products will receive the same oversight as other products, instead of being hampered by unnecessary regulation."

"We will not compromise safety one bit." Mr. Quayle told his audience.

In the F.D.A.'s nearby offices, not everyone was so sure. Among them was Dr. Louis J. Pribyl, one of
17 government scientists working on a policy for genetically engineered food. Dr. Pribyl knew from
studies that toxins could be unintentionally created when new genes were introduced into a plant's
cells. But under the new edict, the government was dismissing that risk and any other possible risk as
no different from those of conventionally derived food. That meant biotechnology companies would
not need government approval to sell the foods they were developing. Dr. Pribyl, a microbiologist, was not alone at the agency. Dr. Gerald Guest, director of the center of veterinary medicine, wrote that he and other scientists at the center had concluded there was "ample scientific justification" to require tests and a government review of each genetically engineered food before it was sold.

The scientists were displaying precisely the concerns that Monsanto executives from the 1980's had
anticipated - and indeed had considered reasonable. But now, rather than trying to address those
concerns, Monsanto, the industry and official Washington were dismissing them as the insignificant
worries of the uninformed. Under the final F.D.A. policy that the White House helped usher in, the new foods would be tested only if companies did it. Labeling was ruled out as potentially misleading to the consumer, since it might suggest that there was reason for concern.

-Excerpt from "Biotechnology Food: From the Lab to a Debacle," by Kurt Eichenwald, New York
Times, January 25, 2001. Eighteen years later, genetically engineered foods are everywhere, but
nobody knows that they're eating them or what effect they're having on our health. Study after study
indicating serious damage to animals fed genetically engineered food have been downplayed or
ignored. Links to human hazards, such as the
genetically engineered L-tryptophan disaster of 1989,
which killed scores of Americans and permanently injured thousands more, or experiments in 1999 in
the UK by renowned scientist
Arpad Pusztai, have been literally suppressed. It's only now that we're beginning to learn what government regulators should have told us all along. Recently, independent scientists reviewed
animal feeding studies conducted by Monsanto in 2000 and 2001. They found that Monsanto's own data revealed the dangers of three of their commonly used genetically engineered corn varieties.

One scientist explained: For the first time in the world, we have proven that genetically engineered foods are neithersufficiently healthy or proper to be commercialized. Each time, for all three genetically modified organisms, the kidneys and liver which are the main organs that react to a
chemical food poisoning, had problems. Given this evidence, it is unconscionable to continue to promote the fallacy that genetically engineeredfood is the same as normal food. It's different. Consumers have a right to know what they're eating. The Organic Consumers Association supports Congressman Kucinich's
Genetically Engineered Food Right to Know Act
but an act of Congress isn't necessary to label genetically engineered foods.
The Truth in Labeling Coalition
is asking the Food and Drug Administration to fix what Dan Quayle got wrong. TLC has submitted a
Citizen Petition making the case that the FDA can reverse theMonsanto Mandate forced on us by Bush-Quayle, and put an end to the idea that genetically engineered foods and crops are trustworthy and don't need to be labeled, as they are in the European Union. We have a chance now to make the change. The Food & Drug Administration needs to admit that, in the Bush-Quayle era of deregulation, they took the wrong approach to genetically engineered foods. On the campaign trail,
Now is the time for him to fulfill his promise to support consumers' right to know.
Please support the Truth in Labeling Coalition's Citizen Petition by taking action now to write F.D.A.

When we consider the rogue's gallery of devilish, over-sized, greedy and disproportionately powerful
corporations, we generally come up with outfits like Microsoft,
Bechtel, AIG, Halliburton, Goldman-Sachs, Exxon-Mobil and the United States Senate. Yet somehow, Monsanto, arguably the
most devilish, over-sized, greedy and disproportionately powerful corporation in the world has been able to more or less skulk between the raindrops -- only a household name in households where documentaries like Food Inc.
are regarded as light Friday evening entertainment. My house, for example. But for the most
part, if you were to ask an average American for their list of sinister corporations, Monsanto probably
wouldn't make the cut. It should. Founded by Missouri pharmacist John Francis Queeny in 1901, Monsanto is literally everywhere. Just about every non-organic food product available to consumers has some sort of connection with Monsanto. Anyone who can read a label knows that corn, soy and cotton can be found in just about every American food product. Upwards of 90% of all corn, soybeans and cotton are grown from genetically engineered seeds, also known as genetically modified organisms (GMOs). These genetically enhanced products appear in around 70% of all American processed food products. And Monsanto controls 90% of all genetically engineered seeds. In other words, Monsanto controls -- and owns patents on -- most of the American food supply.

products and/or businesses. Our lives and the lives of our children are at stake.

FOOD ADDITIVES

The quantity and variety of food additives in our foods today are quite disturbing. The additives that
are considered nutrients are safe, such as: Vitamins C, B, A.& E, carotene, lecithin, niacin, and pectin.
Chemicals are added to food to change its color, preserve it, prevent rancidity, keep fats emulsified and foods stable. Most of the chemicals are synthetic compounds, some with known dangerous side
effects. In addition to the possible immediate side effects, we don't know what the long-term
consequences of consuming the additives are. It is, therefore, safest to avoid all chemical additives.
The following is a list of the top eight food additives to avoid, why, and foods they are added to:

1. ARTIFICIAL SWEETENERS (NutraSweet, Equal, Sweet N Low) Most contain aspartame, a
carcinogenic. Side effects: migraines, headaches, dizziness and seizures. Other artificial
sweeteners contain saccharin, a substance linked to bladder cancer. Another artificial sweetener
is Acesulfame-K, which is linked to kidney tumors development. And, lastly, High Fructose
Corn Syrup, is as unhealthy as the others, even though it comes from corn . It also will pack on
the weight very rapidly, and could contain mercury. FOUND IN: Sugar-free and diet sodas,
flavored gelatin desserts, gum, drink mixes, baked goods, cereals, mints, cookies, toothpaste
and fruit drinks, etc.....

2. MONOSODIUM GLUTAMATE, or MSG, autolyzed yeast extract, or simply, spices. This is
probably the food additive that is the most difficult to avoid. Not only the variety of names can
be confusing, this amino acid is added to almost any savory packaged foods. MSG is an excitotoxin,
which disturbs the neurological pathways, messing with the satiety response and even
killing off brain cells. FOUND IN: Fast food, Chinese restaurant food, seasoning, canned
soup, salad dressing, snack food, frozen dinners, lunch meat, stock, sauces and bouillon, etc....

3. PROPYLENE GLYCOL, This is a viscous substance that is used to enhance texture in liquids.
Known to be linked to cancer, it is still used as a carrier for flavors (often artificial) in an array
of drinks and dressings. FOUND IN, Candy coating, sodas, sports drinks, salad dressing, beer,
cakes, icing, etc....

4. HYDROGENATED OILS, Oils that have been hydrogenated are transformed into trans fat,
the kind that leads to heart diseases, LDL (bad) cholesterol and cancer. Always check the
ingredient list, as it is allowed by law to label ) trans fat even if it contains small amounts of it.
FOUND IN, Margarine, chips, crackers, baked goods, fast foods, etc.

5. FOOD DYES, Artificial colorings found in candies, fruit drinks and dressings, has been linked
to developmental and behavioral problems in children as well as cancer development. FOUND
IN, Cheese, candies, sodas, fruit drinks, sports drinks, bakery, etc....

6. SULFITES, Used to preserve foods, Sulfites are among major food allergens. Sulfites have
been linked to asthma, and can lead to headaches, skin rashes and breathing problems in
sensitive people. FOUND IN, Wine, dried fruits, lunch and cured meats.

7. SODIUM NITRATE/NITRATE, Found mostly in processed meat, and used as a preservative.
Several researches has linked it to cancer, but it's still used commonly in food products.
FOUND IN, Cured meats, hot dogs, corned beef, bacon, ham, duck, lunch meats, smoked
meat, etc....

8. BHA and BHT , Used to preserve the color and flavor in processed food, BHA and BHT are
used in a variety of foods. They can disturb the neurological system, alter behavior and cause
cancer. FOUND IN, Cereals, gum, chips, shortening, candy, etc.
In 2008, Melamine was found in infant formula and some food products from China; the FDA went on
record to say it was OK, despite sickening tens of thousands. Dangerous food additives appear in
nearly all processed foods with even the most common food dyes, Red 40, Yellow 5 and Yellow 6 being linked to cancer. Most recently, 92,000 pounds of frozen chicken was recalled because it contained “blue plastic pieces,” while McDonald's Chicken McNuggets have been found to have “silly putty” chemicals in them. In fact, some researchers estimate that today's chicken is so full of chemicals that it only contains 51% actual meat.

Another deadly additive we need to be aware of, though not a food additive, is fluoride. Not all fluoride is bad; only the type promoted by dentistry and added to our water and foods supply. Calcium
fluoride is a naturally occurring mineral, while its synthetic counterpart, sodium fluoride
(silicofluoride), is an industrial-grade hazardous waste material made during the production of
fertilizer. It's past history includes patented use as rat poison and insecticide. There are many blind and
double blind studies that show sodium fluoride has a cumulative effect on the human body leading to
allergies, gastrointestinal disorders, bone weakening, cancer, and neurological problems.
Sodium chloride, more toxic than lead and almost on par with arsenic, has been disposed of for our
consumption.

Mercury, a dangerous heavy metal in its natural quicksilver form, but more so as the neurotoxin,
methyl mercury, released into the environment by human activity. In both organic, and inorganic form, mercury wreaks havoc with the nervous system—especially the developing nervous system of a fetus. It penetrates all living cells of the human body, and has been documented most as increasing the risk for autism. This calls into question mercury's use in dental fillings, vaccines, and just about anything containing high fructose corn syrup—a near staple in the American diet ...including baby food. But the Corn Refiners Association naturally supports this chemical that is “dangerous at any level.”

I wish you success in your quest to live your life on your terms.

Vitamin E: Gamma not Alpha Tocopherol is often superior with Cancer and Alzheimer's
It is important to know that there are several types of Vitamin E. Vitamin E is actually a generic name for eight separate compounds. Some members of the vitamin E family are called tocopherols. These members include alpha tocopherol, beta tocopherol, gamma tocopherol, and delta tocopherol. Other members of the vitamin E family are called tocotrienols. These members include alpha, beta, gamma, and delta tocotrienol. Both groups all blended together in plants and animals, which is why the best form of vitamin E comes from your food.

The first research on vitamin E carried out by the Shute brothers early in the 19th century, showed that in rats, one part of vitamin E, alpha tocopherol, appeared more potent since it was necessary for successful pregnancy and production of offspring. For this reason, the Shutes named the vitamin "tocopherol," from the Greek word meaning "to give birth."

Nearly all of the clinical research on vitamin E has used alpha-tocopherol. The results have shown that alpha-tocopherol is useful as a heart-protective nutrient. Gamma-tocopherol has been shown to have a greater effect than alpha-tocopherol in inhibiting the formation of nitric-oxide-derived free radicals, which appears to be a factor in the origination and development of heart disease.

Researchers at the University of Uppsala, Sweden carried out a study to see whether measurements of blood vitamin E concentrations can contribute to differences between subjects with and without coronary heart disease. Sixty-nine male patients, below 60 years of age, with coronary heart disease were compared with 138 healthy male subjects of similar ages. They found a significantly lower gamma tocopherol concentration and a high ratio between alpha and gamma tocopherol in the coronary heart disease group compared with the healthy subjects thereby indicating a difference in antioxidative status between groups. (Journal of Internal Medicine. 1996 Feb;239(2):111-7).

Alpha tocopherol is not the most potent form of vitamin E. Too much of it can actually hinder the absorption of other types of vitamin E.

Recent studies indicate that gamma-tocopherol may be important to human health and that it possesses unique features that distinguish it from alpha-tocopherol.

While the type of vitamin E usually used in supplements is alpha-tocopherol, research published in the December 2004 issue of the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences indicates another form of vitamin E, gamma-tocopherol, but not alpha-tocopherol, inhibits prostate cancer cells from multiplying, without affecting healthy prostate cells.

Rush University’s Martha Clare Morris, Sc.D., lead nutrition researcher for CHAP, the Chicago Health and Aging Project, found a 67% lower risk of Alzheimer’s in subjects with the highest intakes of vitamin E from food and concluded: "The results suggest that various tocopherol forms rather than alpha-tocopherol alone may be important in the vitamin E protective association with Alzheimer’s disease."

Researchers at the University of California conducted a study using rats that concluded there was strong evidence that gamma-tocopherol, but not alpha-tocopherol, showed anti-inflammatory activities that may be important for human disease prevention and therapy. (FASEB J. 2003 May;17(8):816-22).

The importance of this study is that inflammatory diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis, asthma, and hepatitis are among the leading causes of death and disability in the world. Chronic inflammation contributes to the development of degenerative diseases, including cancer, cardiovascular diseases, and neurodegenerative disorders (nervous system degeneration).

Gamma-tocopherol concentrations in the blood have been reported to be significantly lower in coronary heart disease patients compared to healthy subjects, suggesting that the low gamma-tocopherol concentrations increased the risk of coronary heart disease.

Newly recognized properties of gamma-tocopherol provide a basis for its superior cancer preventive activity. A possible reason for the protective effects in the presence of high gamma-tocopherol concentrations is that gamma-tocopherol enhances the cellular uptake of alpha-tocopherol. Our data show that gamma-tocopherol accumulates in colon cancer cells at a twenty fold increase over alpha-tocopherol. Higher concentrations of tocopherols are being tested, but have resulted in cell death in three colon cancer cell lines. (BMC Cancer 2003, 3:25 (1 October 2003) http://www.biomedcentral.com/1471-2407/3/25. Open access.)

High doses of alpha-tocopherol deplete gamma-tocopherol

These distinguishing features of gamma-tocopherol and its metabolite suggest that gamma-tocopherol may contribute significantly to human health in ways not recognized previously. This possibility should be further evaluated, especially considering that high doses of alpha-tocopherol deplete plasma [blood] and tissue gamma-tocopherol, in contrast with supplementation with gamma-tocopherol, which increases both. (The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition. 2001 Dec;74(6):714-22).

Moreover, we found the presence of gamma-tocopherol dramatically influenced the cellular accumulation of alpha-tocopherol, i.e., gamma-tocopherol promoted the accumulation of alpha-tocopherol. The potential health related significance of gamma-tocopherol is being increasingly recognized. (Nutrition Journal 2002, 1:2).

While alpha-tocopherols are the most widely used, and have enormous health benefits, gamma, beta and delta tocopherols also offer important benefits. Supplementing with mixed tocopherols should derive the benefits of both alpha-tocopherol and gamma-tocopherol, without creating an imbalance in these two forms of vitamin E. Supplements containing this wide variety of vitamin E forms are usually referred to as "mixed tocopherol" or "mixed tocotrienol" supplements.

Remember to take your vitamin E with some sort of fat or oil for better absorption as it is a fat soluble vitamin.

According to [Maret] Traber and [Scott] Leonard, this indicates that people who are taking vitamin E supplements only with liquids on an empty stomach are accomplishing nothing and getting few if any benefits from the supplements. The vitamin clearly is absorbed better if it is part of, or closely associated with the digestion of a food that has some fat in it. (David Stauth, Oregon State University, The Linus Pauling Institute 15/1/2004).

Most vitamin E supplements contain synthetic alpha-tocopherol, but unlike some other vitamins, synthetic vitamin E is not identical to natural. Vitamin E supplements are labelled d-alpha for natural and dl-alpha for synthetic. If the label lists "dl-alpha-tocopherol", it’s not the real thing.

This is most clearly shown by comparing natural with synthetic vitamin E. Both have identical antioxidant activities, yet the natural vitamin E has roughly twice the availability of synthetic vitamin E. (The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition. 1998 Apr;67(4):669-84).

Japanese researchers found that natural vitamin E at 100 mg per day was not different from that of 300 mg per day of synthetic vitamin E in seven normal, healthy women aged 21-37 years. (Am J Clin Nutr. 1997 Mar;65(3):785-9).

You can get the best forms of vitamin E through your food. Fruits, green leafy vegetables, whole grains, olive oil, sunflower oil, safflower oil, oily fish (salmon, mackerel and sardines), eggs, natural organ meats and nuts are good sources of vitamin E. Most of these foods give you the entire vitamin E family..

I wish you success in your quest to live your life on your terms.
