OCA's Health Resource and Action Center
Big Ag and Big Pharma are interested in profit, not public health, and their lobbyists fight to protect their corporate interests, not consumer interests. OCA advocates for a sustainable, integrative healthcare system with an emphasis on prevention, nutrition, wellness promotion, and freedom of choice in healthcare for everyone.

It's a delicate subject, I know, but somebody had to tell
the truth
about this topic: Body odor. And the truth may surprise you: People
don't automatically stink due to some universal law... it's all based
on diet and nutrition. Eliminate the foods that promote body odor, and
you'll emerge sqeaky clean even without having to mask the smell with
all sorts of chemicals or fragrance products (which usually promote
liver cancer, by the way, due to their toxic chemicals).

Think antacids are the best thing for heartburn? Think again: They
may be exactly the worst treatment of all. Most heartburn is actually
caused by too little acid in the stomach, not too much.

While Indonesia discovered its first bird flu outbreak fairly late in comparison to some other infected countries, it has endured one of the fastest spreads, with 42 human H5N1-caused fatalities reported since the first case was confirmed a year ago.
Until the latest Indonesian death was confirmed yesterday, Vietnam topped Indonesia as the country hardest hit by bird flu with 42 deaths since 2003 -- but Vietnam has not had a single human case this year. The disease continues to rage out of control in Indonesia, and experts say it will only get worse.

It's a SHOCKING day for news about the corruption, fraud and tyranny that defines conventional medicine today.
For starters, you won't believe this news about the FDA. A survey of the FDA's own scientists revealed the agency to be a center of intimidation and censorship, where scientists routinely fear "retaliation" for merely raising safety concerns about prescription drugs.
Pressuring scientists to alter their findings appears to be routine, this survey reveals, and most scientists who work at the FDA don't even believe the agency tells the truth to the public about Read more

Many people recognize what's really happening in the world of health and medicine today: Increasing disease, unabated disease mongering, corporate exploitation of the people, environmental destruction, a decline in honest health journalism, skyrocketing health care costs, tens of millions of uninsured people and continued assaults on health freedom by the FDA and conventional medicine. These are just a few of the many challenges that concern the lucid, thinking people who now populate Internet blogs, chat rooms and websites.
