Don't let them ban soft drinks
As you may know, I'm a huge critic of soft drinks. They are
death in a can, as far as I'm concerned. So it may shock you to find out that
I'm opposed to New York City's proposed ban on oversized sodas. This is one of
the very rare times I am on the side of corporate interests. Here's why.
My main concern here is the individual rights lost thanks to
governmental interference in our personal decisions.
The proposal is to prohibit the sale of "supersized" sodas (over
16 ounces) from fast food restaurants. Of course, this is in the name of
encouraging "healthy behavior." They want to fight the obesity epidemic.

3 hidden memory-destroying triggers no one
told you about
If your memory is not what it used to be, you may
have one or more of these 3 factors. Here's the latest scientific research on
how to undo the damage, and get your memory back in as little as 30 days.

All of this sounds good. After all, I’m in total agreement that
sodas are metabolic poisons. I totally agree that they destroy your health in
many ways if you drink them. They destroy your immune system, they cause
diabetes, and they damage your circulation.
But, where do you draw the line on government in the so-called
name of health? In the name of “health,” government (including New York City)
forcibly poisons you with fluoride. It forcibly vaccinates children, inflicting
horrible immune-system damage. It forcibly mandates what treatments you are
allowed to have for the diseases you are allowed to have (Medicare). It allows
ranches to feed cows antibiotics and hormones to fatten them up, placing you at
terrible risk of untreatable infections and cancer. Why is that not condemned,
as soft drinks are now?
In the name of health, the FDA sends SWAT teams to obliterate
non-toxic nutritional competition to chemical drugs. In the name of “health,”
medical boards obliterate the livelihoods of integrative doctors, thereby
destroying hope and the healing care their patients need to regain wellness.
In this country, there is (was) such a concept of equal
protection under the law, a person’s right to choose, a person’s responsibility
to take care of himself. There is also a corresponding duty to be responsible
for your own actions. But the latter duty has been usurped by the government.
It’s now responsible for the irresponsible, which is to the detriment of
everyone who is responsible for themselves.
We have learned, in America, that if you give the government an
inch, they take a mile. Ban sodas and what’s next? Fries? Burgers? What about
chips? Ding-dongs? Nitrite-loaded meats? Yes, all these are toxic. But,
government’s role, if ANY, is to educate. Not wipe out. If you want to eat this
junk, fine. And if you want to take vitamins, that should be fine as well. If
you want ozone or oxidation therapy, that also should be perfectly fine. And if
you don’t want your kids shot up with toxic preservatives and immune poisons
(vaccines) that should be fine as well.
All these freedoms are intertwined and linked. Hit one and you
begin hitting them all, in the name of what government thinks is “healthy.” I
have a better idea. Everyone should be held responsible AND accountable for
their bad health choices. They should have no alternative but to be responsible
or suffer the consequences. Within a few years, we would see sales of not only
oversized sodas, but “undersized” sodas as well fall. We would also see other
terrible foods suffer at the hands of a more discerning public. And if not, the
rest of us don’t have to pay for those indiscretions.
In the case of New York, the city wants to ban huge sodas for “health reasons,” but its state medical board continues to oppress alternatives to chemical treatment. I have physician friends who are scared to death to offer some therapies that I offer. The government would come down on them - for health reasons.

Government has NO business in limiting your choices either in
what you ingest, or what you select for medical treatment. Here, I join the
calls of Coke and McDonald’s. The issue is one of freedom and individual rights,
not health.
Please tell government to back off your freedom of choice in
foods (including junk food), nutritional supplements, alternative therapies, and
your freedom to know the source of what you are ingesting (GMO Frankenfood).
Tell them with letters, phone calls, and how you vote in November.
Yours for better health and medical
freedom,
Robert J. Rowen, MD
