Special Guest : Dr. Steve Hickey "Vitamins Can Harm You -- REALLY ?"  

Special Guest :
Dr. Steve Hickey

Natural health expert
trained in biology, pharmacoilogy
 and orthomolecular medicine

Examining the facts
surorunding
the recent  media flurry
 on the claim that
 " vitamins
are harmful"


Dr Steve Hickey trained in biology and pharmacology (Member of the Institute of Biology) before undertaking a PhD in Biophysics at Manchester Medical School, England. He was awarded international scientific prizes, including the Volvo Award for Biomechanics (1979), the Annual Award and Medal of the Back Pain Association  (1985), and was highly commended in the Volvo Award for Basic Science (1981).   Following his PhD, Dr Hickey worked in the Department of Geriatric Medicine,  University Hospital of South Manchester, where he carried out experimental and mathematical modelling of the human urethra, leading to the design of a new conformable catheter (patented, and licenced by Bard Inc.). He was appointed as head of physics on the first clinical whole body MR scanner in Europe. He carried  out quantitative imaging of the spine, researched super resolution X-ray CT scanning, and also published in the field of medical statistics. He then took his imaging experience into the industrial arena, developing the first commercially available genetic and neural imaging libraries. Since starting his scientific training, Dr Hickey was interested in the work of Linus Pauling, including the work on Vitamin C and orthomolecular medicine. Together with his co-author (Dr Hilary Roberts), he decided to follow up the evidence on Vitamin C, resulting in the publication of two books "Ascorbate: The Science of Vitamin C" and "Ridiculous Dietary Allowance". This led to an interest in the therapeutic use of vitamin C and other redox active substances, which  they published in two books "Cancer, Nutrition and Survival" and "The Cancer Breakthrough". In 2005, he was given the Knowledge of Health Annual Award - International Health Contribution of the Year, for his work on cancer.   Dr Hickey has a strong interest in the scientific method and the use and abuse of statistics. He is currently examining the basis of evidence-based medicine, with particular reference to the use of meta-analysis techniques.

This laboratory specialises in bioelectromagnetics, the science investigating the interaction of electricity and magnetism with organic life, effects whichcan beboth good and bad. The beneficial aspects are seen in magnetotherapy and thebad side is commonly

called electropollution. We not only have an extensive library of researchtexts, used by visiting students, but are also developing Britain's only Bioelectromagnetics Museum, with exhibits stretching back to the days of Albert Abrams. In addition there are now four other divisions within the Medcross Group: the Electro Magnetic Products Ltd. subsidiary produces markets and sells the products of our own

research and othersin the field of bioelectromagnetics, including a number of books CDs and DVDs. BIMT is theface of magnet therapy to Government, the media, and the consumer.. Galonjaweb provides website design services for the group and outside clients. Finally ViewDVD, an Internet based operation designed entirely within the group, is Britain’s largestonline DVD rental club, and its revenue provides a steady flow of funds for our research.

Critical new insights  and perspectives from those

who are within the conversation of and are

familiar with  the inner workings of CODEX





Paul Anthony Taylor's
background is in the music industry, working as a musician,

with the growing threats to health and freedom of choice posed by bodies such as
 the Codex Alimentarius Commission (the highest international body on food standards)
 and the European Union, to the extent that he now devotes himself fulltime to campaigning,
researching and raising awareness on these issues. He has been working with the
Dr. Rath Health Foundation for the past four years - who are active in America ,
 Europe, Africa and Asia - and his role as its External Relations Director allows him to
look at these problems with a truly global perspective. Paul is also the Chairman of the
US-based National Health Federation (NHF) - the only consumer health-freedom
organization in the world to enjoy official observer status (able to speak out for
 health freedom) at meetings of the Codex Alimentarius Commission - and regularly
attends Codex meetings as an NHF delegate.

the geo-political webs that are being spun; with particular focus on US Hegemony and
the US/UN agenda for the absolute control of global resources. Prior to his retirement
from the corporate arena, Ian enjoyed a career of 25 years in telecommunications
and international oilfield services, a career that provided the opportunity to live &
work in the U.K. , Continental Europe, the Middle East & Houston, Texas.

Michael Ash talks about the association of the gastrointestinal tract with psychological outcomes. Is depression a gut reaction? Is it instinct or intellect?

 

Dr. Damien Downing delivers a dissertation on Vitamin D;  why we are deficient most of the time. Which begs the question: Are we then also sunlight deficient?
