Federally-Funded Disney Cartoon "Doc McStuffins" Teaching Kids To "Do What The Doctor Says"




Doc McStuffins is an animated series, on the Disney Channel, about a six-year-old girl who communicates with, and heals, stuffed animals and toys in her backyard clinic.  The show was created under the consultancy of the Hollywood Health & Society, which is a federally-funded organization, through which "public health and medical experts offer expert consultation, education and resources for writers, and producers, who develop scripts with health storylines and information."

Television and Sports Are Used to Control The Masses.

Television can be an extremely effective tool to push a certain message, to a mass amount of people.  In the past, I have written about how Hollywood is used, to push the agenda of the military industrial complex, as well as the agenda of Big Pharma, in particular vaccinations.

This particular organization, Hollywood, Health, & Society, works with over 800 writers, and has helped shape over 300 television shows, in the past two years.  In the Hollywood Propaganda section of my previous article, TV Doctors Are Paid To Push Drugs and Vaccines, I have more information on Hollywood, Health, & Society.

I wouldn't want to get into a debate about whether vaccinations are good, or whether a cartoon that gets children comfortable with going to the doctor is helpful, when discussing this issue.  I just don't believe tax money should be used to influence writers, and producers, in Hollywood.  We have people in America who worry about not being able to eat, after their food stamps gets delayed by one day, but yet we are comfortable enough to pay this group to influence Hollywood ? (Not too mention the money spent on military bases all over the world, the drones, the tanks, foreign aid, etc.)

I just think it's creepy to know that the government is covertly funding a Disney cartoon that sings songs about "Do What The Doctor Says" (video above), and has their agent at the Hollywood, Health, & Society, Sandra de Castro Buffington, consulting with the show to get them teaching kids about getting shots.

Do NOT Use Water with Added-Fluoride For Your Baby



I walked into Walmart in the town of Naugatuck, CT and seen a whole display of Nursery® Water with added fluoride, bring promoted to mothers, with newborn babies, "to mix with formula and cereal", and being a "good source of drinking water for your child."  I have done past research on the negative effects of fluoride consumption, and here I will list reasons NOT to use water with added fluoride, especially for a baby.

-  According to Center for Disease Control's (CDC) own government website, “Fluoride intake from water and other fluoride sources, such as toothpaste and mouthrinses, during the ages when teeth are forming (from birth through age 8) can result in changes in the appearance of the tooth’s surface called dental fluorosis……Recent evidence suggests that mixing powdered or liquid infant formula concentrate with fluoridated water on a regular basis may increase the chance of a child developing the faint, white markings of very mild or mild enamel fluorosis."  A ten year study conducted by the CDC, that ended in 2002, showed a nine percent increase in dental fluorosis.  Dental fluorosis, which is usually small white streaks, or stains, in your teeth, may not seem like a big deal, but could be an indication that your body is receiving too much fluoride.  Over consumption of fluoride can also lead to skeletal fluorosis, a bone disease caused by excessive consumption of fluoride.  Interestingly, fluorosis is more severe among black children, in comparison to white or Latin children, but the CDC can find 'no clear explanation', why that is.

-  The average level of fluoride in breast milk is 0.019 +/- 0.004 ppm (parts per million).  Nursery® Water has a fluoride level of up to 0.7 ppm.  That means that Nursery® water has anywhere between 30x to 150x more fluoride than your baby would receive through breast milk.  Unlike most of Europe, most major cities in the United States add fluoride to their water.  The city of Waterbury, CT, adds fluoride to their water at a similar level to Nursery® Water, 0.79 to 1.11 ppm.  The Nursery Water website has a recommendation for parents who are concerned about fluoride:  "If parents or caregivers are concerned about the fluoride level intake of their children, the ADA recommends mixing baby formula with water that is fluoride free or contains low levels of fluoride."

There is a wide range of information available regarding fluoride, the dangers, the history of water fluoridation, etc., that, I believe, everyone should be interested in.  The best resource I have come across regarding fluoridation, is a book by Christopher Bryson, titled "The Fluoride Deception".  It is available to view online, as a .pdf, here.

On a positive note, in the January 2013 session of the Connecticut General Assembly, CT Senator Joe Markley of the 16th District, proposed an AN ACT ELIMINATING THE REQUIREMENT TO ADD FLUORIDE TO PUBLIC WATER SUPPLIES.

TV Doctors Are Paid To Push Drugs and Vaccines

Studies show two-thirds of regular television viewers learn about health from TV dramas.  Big pharmaceutical companies know this, and team up with Hollywood, to push their medical agenda, and prescription drugs.  Daytime television is filled with advertisements, and commercials, for all types of prescription drugs, but the fairly recent trend of glorifying certain doctor/actors, as medical experts, is being exploited and manipulated by Big Pharma, to further push their agenda.



We should question why these doctors wear their white lab coats and hospital scrubs when they are on stage, performing for television, as if they were just backstage performing medical procedures. 


Dr. Drew
The Many Faces of Dr. Drew
David Drew Pinsky, best known as Dr. Drew, has become one of the most famous doctor/television personalities, with a popular syndicated radio show, as well as starring roles in, and producing, a number of television shows.   

What you may not know is that Dr. Drew was involved in the largest health care fraud case in U.S. history.  GlaxoSmithKline LLC, the worlds fourth-largest pharmaceutical company, was forced to pay $3 billion and plead guilty to promoting two popular drugs for unapproved uses, failing to disclose important safety information on a third drug, as well as a number of other complaints.  The company was even paying kickbacks to doctors to prescribe those drugs, as well as others.  According to U.S. attorney Carmin Ortiz, the sales force of GSK "bribed physicians to prescribe GSK products using every imaginable form of high priced entertainment, from Hawaiian vacations to paying doctors millions of dollars to go on speaking tours to a European pheasant hunt to tickets to Madonna concerts, and this is just to name a few."
