Dear friends,
Hilary Swank, two-time Oscar recipient, flew to Lansdowne, Virginia, to visit Prison Fellowship's offices for a private screening of her new movie, Conviction. Following the sneak preview, Ms. Swank participated in a question and answer session about wrongful convictions and the role churches can play in advocating for reforms. It was a very special evening for all who participated. (video highlights)
Conviction is a remarkable movie that tells the true story of Betty Anne Waters, who spent 18 years working to free her brother, Kenny, who had been convicted for murder based on false testimony. I wrote of the impact of the movie in the last Justice eReport. And I wanted to share with you the secial evening we enjoyed last Thursday. Swank surprised us by bringing with her the woman she portrays in the movie, Betty Anne Waters, and her best friend, Abra Rice (played by Minnie Driver), who kept Betty Anne's spirits up during the long struggle to prove Kenny's innocence. What a thrilling experience it was to be able to visit with Swank and the two women who actually righted the injustice done to Kenny!

The story of how the evening came about is truly a blessing. The showing and Q&A were suggested by Hilary Swank herself. Swank explained her idea behind the evening: “I have seen how important faith can be in helping prisoners through difficult times. I wanted to share the film, CONVICTION, with other faith minded people to remind them of the important role they play in reforming our justice system and helping prisoners and their families.” I never would have been bold enough to suggest this event. But God moved in Swank's heart and provided a very inspirational evening.
In answer to a question from the audience, Swank explained the reason she chose to become executive producer of the movie. “When I read this script, I thought it was a great story of faith. Faith in this other person, the faith that Kenny had in his sister that made her feel loved, to continue on,” she said. “And you know, that faith can be compared in myriad ways: to having faith in a higher power, faith in trusting your future, having hope.”
Swank spoke of the importance of the movie in provoking discussion of the need for reforms, “Knowledge is power and the more we talk, the more we learn. I carry Betty Anne in my heart and I am a better person for it.”
Swank also reflected on the role faith plays in inmates' hearts. “I’ve met twelve other exonerees since the movie has come out,” she said in an interview prior to the panel discussion. “And all of them talk about having found faith in prison, that it was what got them through their ordeal and the circumstances.”
In response to an inquiry from the audience, Betty Anne Waters spoke of the importance of support from members of the community. “There are so many things the community can do to help prisoners. Even something as simple as sending a letter or buying a coat,” Waters said. Here are some video highlights of the very special evening.
I hope that like Ms. Swank's inspiration to take the time to come and speak with our ministry, you too will find the time to see CONVICTION and discuss it with your friends and family. The story is truly a testament to the power of faith. Here is a link to help you find where Conviction is playing near you. However, I should warn you that there are many bad words in the movie. It is a prison movie, and the producers decided to keep them in because they wanted to show that Kenny was a flawed person, but no less deserving of justice. If that type language offends you, you should not see the movie.
Ms. Swank sent me a note the day after the wonderful evening:
Mr. Nolan,
I am deeply flattered to have had the opportunity to meet with you, Rev. Lee, and your Prison Ministry Fellowship last night. All that you are doing for those close to the issue of criminal justice and injustice is not only vital for our government, friends and family, but also inspirational to me as an individual.
I appreciate your support of CONVICTION and all that you do to make the world a place where we can help each other through challenging journeys like Betty Anne's (my real life hero), and Kenny's.
With respect,
Hilary
In His service,
Pat Nolan

EditLiving With A Death Sentenceby John Thomson on Wednesday, November 3, 2010 at 4:06pm
John Thomson Speaking:
Baskically, this article describes my life. I have all of these conditions. I take all of these medications. And I have almost all of the side effects. I have also had the privilege to have had chelation treatments in California in 2005. The treatments however were not intended for my heart condition as much as it was for my over all health situation. I did not return to chelation treatments when I returned from California. So there it is layed out for me quite clearly. In my present predicament I am under a death sentence I already have had a double-bypass and two angio-plasties.
Sugar is my enemy even moreso than cigarettes. I wonder should I trade sugar for cigarettes. My sugar count is at the diabetic level over 7. I don't sleep because of in part the medications, so I eat, my nurse tells me I should not snack after 10 pm, what can i do at 3 am? I finally asked her, "well, what about whiskey." She said not with the medications. So this article says the medications are harmful and everyone says sugar is white and anything white is bad for you. (Wheres my race card) So Im back to Jack Daniels "if you please" and call for Phillip Morris. Stay tuned for "One More Day, Please" Oh and read the article, if you have a heart it just might have something to say to you as well.

Therapy May Be Able to Save 30 Percent of U.S. Lives... Condemned!
Do you know what happens when your blood doesn't flow freely to your heart? Or your arteries don't pump enough blood to your legs? Or what happens when your brain doesn't get enough oxygen from your blood?
You can get gangrene... suffer stroke or heart attack... or even die.
That's because as you age your arterial walls grow thick with plaque deposits. As that happens, your blood flow slows down. And when your plaque grows too thick... it strangles your blood flow altogether. It's a condition we call atherosclerosis. And it accounts for one‐third of all deaths in the U.S.
Doctors often tackle this problem with statin drugs. But these drugs are expensive and sometimes ineffective. Worse, they can do more harm than good.
Experts and research alike oppose their use. Despite this, statins remain our first-line of defense.
And yet, there's another therapy which some doctors claim is effective and safe. They point to evidence which has been compiled over 50 years - and in over 3,000 studies. Those pioneering surgeons say they have been successfully using this therapy for years. A Nobel-Prize winning doctor champions it.
But the medical industry has condemned its use. The FDA... American Heart Association (AHA)... and the American Medical Association (AMA) have joined together to shut this therapy out.
We reveal what this therapy is... and investigate whether it's worth considering...
Battling Plaque
Plaque deposits form when decaying muscle cells, fibrous tissues, fat, cholesterol, and calcium deposits build up inside your arteries. These deposits can form anywhere in your body. But they are most dangerous when they grow near your heart or brain.
Growth usually starts in areas with turbulent blood flow. Where narrow vessels cause pressure to build up. Or where valves don't close tightly.
Plaque increases with age. It causes your arteries to become hard and lose elasticity. When this happens, blood clots may form and break off. That blocks smaller vessels.
According to conventional medicine, high levels of blood cholesterol indicate plaque build-up. When that happens, your doctor will likely advise you to start taking statin drugs, which can lower your bad LDL cholesterol.
Getting Serious about Statins
It's true that statins can lower cholesterol levels. But many experts believe that cholesterol is not the primary cause of heart disease. (See "The True Cause of Heart Disease")
There's certainly plenty of evidence that suggests they're not the best treatment for atherosclerosis.
Here are just some of the many side effects of statins:
dizziness
nausea or upset stomach
lack of appetite
reduced liver function - which can cause jaundice
itchy skin
abdominal pain
dark‐colored urine
constipation
cramps and muscle pain
joint pain
weakness
fever‐like symptoms
insomnia
nightmares
loss of memory
sexual dysfunction
depression
shortness of breath
irritating cough
No wonder some doctors advise against using statins.
Among them is Garry Gordon MD, DO, founder of the Gordon Research Institute.
"I will not recommend something with a five percent so‐called benefit if there is a known risk as we have with statins," says Dr. Gordon. "I can avoid [these risks] with alternative approaches."
Seeking Alternative Therapies
Dr. Gordon is known worldwide for his study of EDTA chelation. Years ago, he studied and learned about EDTA chelation therapy. EDTA (ethylene diamine tetra‐acetic acid) is an amino acid that's chemically similar to vinegar.
EDTA chelation was first created in the 1930s. Back then it was used as an intravenous treatment for heavy metal poisoning. But as patients recovered from metal poisoning, they noticed a dramatic improvement in other symptoms including coronary artery disease.
And so the studies began. Dr. Gordon researched the therapeutic effects of EDTA. He focused primarily on heart disease.
He discovered that over the past 50 years, more than 3,000 studies, articles, and reviews have confirmed that EDTA is a safe and effective treatment for heart disease. It's since been used by over two million patients.
"Look at my patients," says Dr. Gordon. "They have any level heart disease and many of them are alive after five years. Compare [that to] those on standard therapy."
He has spoken out about how most doctors see heart disease. He says that "they consider the diagnosis of congestive heart failure to be a death sentence."
He notes that is "because over 60 percent of their patients are dead within the first year."
On the other hand, he says, "I haven't lost one patient with congestive heart failure in 10 years."
He states that he's saved patients who were inoperable. Patients who had already had every known form of bypass surgery, "until there were no more veins in their legs to strip out to put in their hearts."
"They were sent home to die and I could get those people back to full functioning," says Dr. Gordon. "I've had doctor friends who wouldn't take the IV at first. They're now on oral EDTA and are able to pass a treadmill stress test that they couldn't pass for five years."
Dr. Gordon advises patients against surgery, statins, and stents. He's not convinced that cholesterol is the primary reason for heart attacks. Rather, he thinks it's a combination of plaque buildup, blood clots, and inflammation.
His therapy tackles these conditions with a multi-pack of oral pills. These include a strong multivitamin, omega-3, primrose oil, a phosphatidyl serine with Gingko biloba, and three capsules containing the EDTA-enhanced institute formula. He says his tests show that such a combination lowers viscosity. This helps prevent fatal blood clots. It also breaks down plaque and helps tackle inflammation.
He also prescribes a diet rich in omega 3 fatty acids and low in toxins to combat inflammation and reverse plaque.
11 Breakthrough Cures from Around the World
What if a simple method could root out and separate cancer cells from healthy cells to easily target and kill them? What if a biopharmaceutical company had actually discovered a way to reverse aging on a genetic level... then buried the research? What if a volcanic mineral could eliminate all risks of heart disease? These aren't just theoretical cures. View this special video presentation to find out more...
Closing Ranks
Dr. Gordon points to the 3,000 studies that support the benefits of this therapy. But despite all the research, the AHA says the benefits of such therapy haven't been proven. It says it's reviewed the literature and doesn't find enough evidence to support this therapy.
The AHA's official policy states:
"Employment of this form of unproven treatment may deprive patients of the well-established benefits attendant to the many other valuable methods of treating these diseases."
Many other mainstream medical groups agree. These include the FDA; the American College of Physicians; the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute; the National Institutes of Health; the AMA; and the American College of Cardiology.
But Dr. Gordon disagrees and points to 50 years or research that he says supports this treatment. He also notes his own documented success.
With so many naysayers, does anyone else support EDTA chelation therapy?
The Artery Health Institute has done its own tests. They found EDTA - mixed with garlic extract, malic acid, and parsley - immediately improves circulation. Full effects can be reached within three months of therapy.
And two‐time Nobel Prize winner Linus Pauling, PhD, has publically championed the therapy.
"EDTA chelation therapy fits in well with my views on health care," says Dr. Pauling.
He recommended that doctors embrace this new therapy if they want to save lives.
"Physicians who administer EDTA integrate the results of my own research into their chelation program," says Dr. Pauling. "Chelation therapy will be of great advantage to the nonsurgical treatment for atherosclerosis."
Plenty of other experts are championing this therapy.
Bruce Halstead, MD, founder of the World Life Research Institute, says over two million chelation treatments have been performed in the U.S. alone. There was not a single fatality in the group.
In 2003, the National Institutes of Health started an extensive $30 million clinical double‐blind trial on EDTA chelation therapy for coronary heart. But the 10‐year study was shut down in 2008 - just halfway through its run.
The Office for Human Research Protections demanded its suspension. That's because several pharmaceutical groups complained, citing "inadequate informed consent."
Dr. James P. Carter, M.D., PhD, suggests the government might be bending to pressure from Big Pharma to suppress therapies like EDTA.
Dr. Carter is a 50-year medical professional. Before retiring in 2007, he ran his own private practice in Mandeville, Louisiana... and served as the long-time Head of the Nutrition Section at Tulane University School of Medicine.
"The new therapy threatens the financial well-being of a politically powerful and well established branch of the medical profession," says Dr. Carter. "Quite the opposite occurred with the immediate and widespread acceptance of bypass surgery and balloon angioplasty. It quickly brought wealth and fame to surgeons, cardiologists, large teams of health care professionals, and the hospital industry."
That leaves prospective patience with two choices: opt for FDA approved methods. Or explore this alternative therapy.
The smartest option is to speak with a doctor you trust. Be sure it's a physician who doesn't profit from chelation treatments... but one who values a natural approach.
In the meantime, we'll be reporting further on this important issue in the near future.

"Eat Your Veggies... But Not Like This."
If you load up your plate with fresh broccoli and spinach, you're doing your body a favor. But are you missing out on other veggies at the market that are actually much better for you than your "regulars"?
I'm talking about a "misunderstood" subset of veggies that are packed with more nutrients and antioxidants than your standard fare. According to a study funded by the UK Food Standards Agency, these "Superior Foods" contain 53% more beta carotene... 38% more health-boosting flavonoids... more muscle-building protein... more potassium... and more of the elements needed to foster complete nutrition.
Discover which veggies you should be eating... And which ones you should avoid... on page 4 of THB's comprehensive guide to "Green Living." Find out exactly how this guide can keep your family healthy... and protect you from poisons... by reading on right here.

So you think i SHOULD VOTE | Thomson Home Emporium Shopping Store
So you think i SHOULD VOTE | Thomson Home Emporium Shopping Store
I've lived through 7 decades and I ain't seen no better ever, no matter who has been in office, I've seen churches and Pastors all fall down I've seen best of friends turn on each other the only things that have been consistent in life live in the animal world, if theres a box to leave this planet, I'll vote because humanity is the most evil thing on earth. Period.
To tell you the truth I don't have an ounce of faith in this political system nor any of the politicians left, right or in the middle. After all the campaigning of lies and distortions that we have seen in how many years of our lives. We can finish the ad before its even out of their mouth because its the same old drivel that has been preached since time immemorial. The Bible says "there is nothing new under the sun." "What you see is what you get." is probably the closest thing to being the truth out there. How many years have we been watching "Feed The Children." How many years have we been adopting children in poverty. This is the cruelest game of Monopoly ever invented. "Eve of Destruction" by Barry McGuire will be as relevant when your great-grandkids are born as when it first came out.
I could go on and on but what good would it do. I cringe every time I see a new born baby because it sickens me to know what awaits them. Don't give me your hope filled dreams and faith in God. I've heard that all my life. God is God for the afterlife, the Devil runs this show.
