This website is
intended to bring attention to these public
health risks & to related information:
I.
"Malariotherapy"
For decades, the
Heimlich Institute has been conducting abusive
human experiments on US & Third World
patients suffering with AIDS, cancer, and Lyme
Disease, by deliberately infecting them with
malaria. Experts have compared this "research" to
the Nazi concentration camp experiments and the
Tuskegee syphilis experiments.
For
more details, visit my page, "Some Moral
Outrage": The Heimlich Institute's illicit
experiments on AIDS patients.
Visit the CIRCARE
biotheics website for an exhaustive
compilation of documents and information.
Questions: Why
has Deaconess Associations of Cincinnati, a health
services mega-corporation, funded and sponsored
these experiments? Why has Cincinnati media failed
to report Deaconess's financial relationship and
responsibility for overseeing the experiments? Why
has the media failed to ask questions of the
members of the Heimlich Institute's corporate
board?
II. The
Heimlich maneuver for drowning rescue, a 30-year
medical atrocity
From the June
3, 2011 Washington Post:
The Heimlich maneuver
became famous as a way for people to dislodge a
foreign object from a choking person's airway.
But it's been utterly discredited as a way of
rescuing a person who is drowning, and can
actually do serious harm to someone who has just
been pulled from the water, numerous experts
say.
...The list of
experts who reject the Heimlich maneuver (for
drowning rescue) is lengthy: The American
Red Cross; the United States Lifesaving
Association; the American Heart Association; the
Institute of Medicine; the International Life
Saving Federation and many experienced doctors
and academics have strongly inveighed against
doing 'abdominal thrusts' for drowning victims.
...Dr. James
Orlowski said he has documented nearly 40
cases where rescuers performing the Heimlich
maneuver have caused complications for the
victim. Orlowski is chief of pediatrics and
pediatric intensive care at University
Community Hospital in Tampa.
So where did the
idea that the Heimlich maneuver should be
performed on drowning victims originate?
Facts indicate that
in 1974 my father, who knew nothing about the
physiology of drowning, simply dreamed it up. My
research uncovered that from 1974-2003 my father
and a physician from Potomac MD used cronies to
fabricate a string of cases in which drowning
victims were allegedly rescued by the use of the
maneuver, such as the so-called "Dallas ambulance
case," reported here
and here.
To encourage the
public to perform the procedure, the cases were
planted in the media and my father published them
in medical journals.
In short,
"America's most famous doctor" (The New
Republic, 2007) came up with a baseless
medical procedure and over the course of three
decades fabricated a string of phony case reports
to promote it.
The legacy of this
madness is dozens of dead and
seriously-injured individuals (including
children) and ongoing confusion in the
field.
The
responsibility belongs not only to my father, but
to his cronies who faked case reports and to those
who helped circulate his "poison ideas" for
financial gain.
