Dr. Jon Hallberg: Top medical stories of 2011, Minnesota Public Radio News, Dec. 21, 2011 [Emphasis Added]:
Some of the top medical stories of 2011
Transcript Excerpts
MPR medical analyst Dr. Jon Hallberg: It’s all kinds of [drug] shortages. My colleagues in the hospital have been very frustrated by a number of things, including some antibiotics and especially chemotherapy drugs. We’ve noticed it also in the clinic setting a little bit. We’ll get a call from a pharmacy that something we ordered is simply not available. And unfortunately we’re starting to see more and more of this.[Host Tom] Crann: What happened to resolve it? Are we in a better situation now with, whether it’s chemotherapy drugs or other drugs?
Hallberg: Well, I mean the FDA is sort of on top of this [...]
Crann: Back in March, the tsunami in Japan, the earthquake, and then the nuclear meltdown at the Fukushima nuclear plant there… that put radiation in the news in a way it hadn’t been in a generation.
Hallberg: Exactly … I can’t recall the last time I, you know, as a primary care person I actually started answering questions from patients about radiation exposure. And to continue that conversation a little bit, I think just in general we’re sort of more aware of radiation in general. People are getting more cautious with how many CT scans we order and all of that, but I think that this really, really put that in the news.
At the beginning of the broadcast the host said, “Let’s jump right in here. These are in no particular order, but the one we’re going to talk about first is drug shortages…”
Yet the article says:
Dr. Hallberg’s Top Ten List
1. Drug shortages: This has been a problem in hospitals more than in clinics, and the FDA has been tasked with fixing the problem [...]
2. Japan’s nuclear meltdown: Not since Chernobyl has radiation been a water cooler topic of conversation.

They are government funded radio, for the most part, so what can be expected from them?
They’ve sold their souls for their paychecks.

First they give you cancer by all the nuclear weapons and plants around. Then they use “radiation” to treat you. How nice of them to do so. BAN big nuke and oil.
Report Comment
The doctors are nervous about their RAD profiteering too.
History and declassification has shown us that radioisotopes have been pushed like heroin onto the medical community by the AEC and IAEA in their peaceful uses of nuke power.
Accompanying my CT scan was a nice warm shot of radioiodine tracer…internal and external gamma! Fun!
Chemo drug shortages get me into free associations…like the butter shortage in Norway…heard a Norwegian say on NPR it was the US who got their Christmas butter…then my organic butter disappeared from my supermarket shelves…hmm
Could some be hoarding, filling freezers in newly constructed fallout shelters…could the butter be at Greenbriar?
Makes You think SOMEONE’S in the know…let’s keep track of where the elite go: are they still going outside without respirators?
Good to bring these matters to our attention, admin…i feel like i’m sorting through pieces of a giant jigsaw puzzle while i know there’s pieces missing…

Perhaps some milk is too contaminated to make butter with? Just a thought. Mind you, despite the fallout, global dairy prices have not moved much. If people knew the truth, they would be getting all their milk products from the Southern hemisphere.
Report Comment
The plan with radioactive milk is to make into cheese and butter. Cheese and butter can be kept and remain fit for sale much longer than milk or cream. This allows the short lived nuclides to “age” and lose some of their radioactivity.
GOT MILK?

I also got a radioactive tracer shot in 2008. I would not have consented had I known that it was radioactive. I don’t care how much they make fun of me or reassure me it is safe.

IAEA Workshop on Monte Carlo Method in Medical Physics Attracts Participants from Around the World
The ‘Gold Standard’ for Radiation Transport in Medicine
“Monte Carlo techniques will dominate the field of radiation dosimetry and benchmark dose calculations in radiotherapy for many years to come. In addition, it will no longer be necessary to undergo extensive infrastructure development in order to acquire state of the art medical technology because computers are becoming more and more distributed in developing countries, where such radiation medicine technology is needed most.
A Unique Student Body for a Unique Courser
Because the EGSnrc/BEAMnrc Monte Carlo system is so highly renowned, the IAEA received over 110 applications, making it one of the most sought after IAEA workshops ever put together. The final list of attendees—approximately 55 in total—hailed from a wide variety of both developed and developing countries.”

and the iaea has probaly done a deal with china to not publish the results of the sea testing they did in november off japan!! no mention.. although there are links to oncology firms who source their isotopes from china.. so there shouldnt be a problem with the isotopes…??

Report Comment
Around where I live, Fuku / radiation is not even a water cooler topic of conversation.
Report Comment
It’s Dr. Hallbergs’ list. His opinion.
Big Pharma does like to sell what’s most profitable. That’s not necessarily what’s most NEEDED.
Anyway, The Powers That Be won’t portray Fuku as what it is, another poster-child for everything wrong with nuclear.
TPTB certainly don’t want the public to see it as a medical story.
At least it made his #2 spot.
By the transcript it seemed to be a real “soundbite” conversation. Shallow.

In recent months I have seen a few reports that there are shortages of certain pharmaceutical drugs, and that this “may” be do to there being diverted to government and military based strongholds, in anticipation of martial law being implemented and/or global war, in order to support those injured carrying out such activities.

Hi Zombie,
(not often one gets to say THAT!),
I’ve seen that somewhere too.
Also, seen (or heard) that Big Pharma limits or cuts production of off-patent drugs as generic production comes on, in favor of the more-recently promoted (and profitable) ones.

Hello George,
That makes sense. Although, it seems to be taking a bit to long for the generics to hit the shelf. Time will tell.

Fukushima might as well be on Mars as far as most people are concerned. Its sad because the retarded stupor of mainstream American is simply impervious to the breakdown of the physical world, and I’m not making a pun about mentally handicapped people.

… It follows an October executive order in which President Barack Obama directed the FDA and the Department of Justice to take bolder steps to resolve the worsening scarcity.
Shortages of life-saving drugs, such as those used to treat cancer, and medically necessary drugs, such as anesthetics and painkillers, have sparked the most dire concerns, experts say.
But shortages of the …

Got to wonder if there is a conscious effort here !
I read some articles about these shortages early this year, … draging feet !

1 – The doctor is paid well by the pharmaceutical conglomerates to sell drugs to everyone…..
2 – Drugs create near instant profits for doctors by keeping or making patients continuously sick, which makes the payments on the doctor’s luxury cars and waterfront mansion.
3 – NPR propaganda is from the United States Government who fund it. They do what they’re told, or else. A young NPR correspondent asked Bush a question he didn’t like and was fired the next day. Problem solved….
4 – The nuclear industry controls the congress and NRC with money. 12 of the top 20 lobby funding companies are in the nuclear/energy business.
Any questions?

There’s an article on the Internet somewhere about how a few years back doctors went on a strike in Israel.
Nobody died during the strike. Zero deaths during the strike.
It reminds me of an early record, by a physician, “For she had suffered much at the hands of the physicians, and spent all her substance (money).”
There are things a person certainly needs to go to the doctor for, but there are some things they sure don’t, and I sure don’t.
Doctors go to school and training until about age 29. Typically during all that time they do not have one course in nutrition.

Is this the guy we’re talking about?

If so, he seems pretty far removed from any direct knowledge of Energy issues, although he may be as well qualified as the next GP to say stuff like “We’ll get a call from a pharmacy that something we ordered is simply not available.”
He may very well represent the tip of some iceberg (or not). I hope more substantial information turns up.
Every new breaking story seems to raise many more questions than it answers. At least stories are starting to trickle out of msm now, but they all seem to dance around the periphery of whatever is going on.
I feel like I’ve been holding my breath for over nine months!

There are several types of cancer with many being a fungus. Many Cancers from radiation are a deterioration of tissue, and not a fungus. Fungus cancers can be beat using baking sodas, hemp oil, and other treatments found on the net. Chemo shouldn’t be used in treating tissue breakdown cancers in my opinion seeing chemo keeps cells from dividing. People need cell regeneration in this case.
Best bet is to get away from the radiation, take KI daily if you need to stay, and I mean every day. 170mg PER DAY. Toss kelp out the window. That is mcg, which is enough for a flea…

NPR is SO faux alternative. It just amazes me that anyone can believe it really is alternative/not controlled. (I do like their music programming.)
Talk of ‘drug shortages’ makes me think of the elites’ plans for global depopulation. Much as big pharma loves those drug profits, they might bite the bullet and cry ‘drug shortage’ to speed some of us ‘useless eaters’ into the next world.
Bad times coming, folks. Check out infowars.com – good coverage of the real news. Also google CLOWARD-PIVEN STRATEGY.
