Hannity devotes show to discredited claim that Sestak job discussion was illegal | Media Matters for America

Hannity devotes show to discredited claim that Sestak job discussion was illegal | Media Matters for America

In a show devoted entirely to a White House offer to Rep. Joe Sestak (D-PA) of a position on a presidential panel, Sean Hannity joined several guests in portraying that offer as violation of the law. In fact, and numerous legal experts have stated that no crime was committed.

Electromagnetic Device That Erases Pain in 60 Minutes?
Cutting-Edge Discoveries That Make You Live Longer ...
Grow Younger -- and Become Free from Pain
 

One of the the Top 5 most frequently asked questions received by Dr. Mehmet Oz,  (also known as "America's Doctor") is the following:

What are the most important things I can do to live longer?

Dr. Oz     It seems everyone over the age of 40 is interested in reclaiming their youth and vitality, finding out how to extend their lives -- and especially, how to be free from pain.  For what good is living longer ... if you're suffering from pain?

     According to a Google report, over the past 12 months, there were approximately 3.2 billion searches done by people looking for a remedy for pain -- low back pain, headache, arthritis pain, joint pain, abdominal pain, chest pain, pain from trauma or injuries, and other kinds of pain -- both chronic and acute.

     During the recent Longevity Conference which took place last March in Costa Mesa, California, a revolutionary solution for eradicating pain for good was presented -- alongside cutting-edge discoveries that enable you to live longer (as well as younger and healthier).  The conference organizer was none other than David Wolfe, who is considered one of the world's top authorities on natural health -- and who counts among his "fans" Hollywood celebrities, America's top CEOs, global ambassadors and  busy professionals.

     T
he DVDs of the Longevity Conference were just made available to the public last week.  I was one of the first to purchase the DVDs -- but little did I know I was in for a big surprise!

    
I was only seven minutes into the very first video (07:32, to be exact), and I was absolutely astonished by the mind-blowing health information being presented.  It was, quite frankly, the most advanced health information I had ever heard of -- one which had the potential to transform the health and lives of people all over the world!

     As the Editor of The Underground Health Reporter, I thought I had seen everything there is to see about health.  But even though I'm usually up to date on the latest healing technologies and nutritional information, I found that everything I knew about longevity nutrients like beta-glucans, polysaccharide peptides (PSP) and polysaccharide K (PSK) was "old news" compared to the cutting-edge information provided by the health experts at the Longevity Conference.

     Here are just a few of the countless amazing things I learned from the Longevity Conference DVDs that I've never found anywhere else:

*  There's an electromagnetic phenomenon that enables you to make any physical pain disappear in 1 hour or less.  Back pain, headache pain, joint pain, arthritis pain, abdominal pain, chest pain, any kind of physical pain -- chronic or acute -- gone forever!  And all you have to do is sit, stand or lie down while connected to an electrically conductive device!  (See details below)

*  For the first time in history, there's a drug-free, herbal solution for activating telomerase, the enzyme that rebuilds telomeres (the end caps of DNA strands).  Telomerase makes your telomeres longer, which means your cells will not only stop aging but could actually get younger as time goes by.  This herbal extract is considered by many as a life-prolonging elixir, and is also being studied by biotechnology firms as a solution for fighting HIV and infections associated with aging.

*  There's a new healing paradigm that ... normalizes the autonomic nervous system of the body ... balances brain function ... eases muscle tension ... neutralizes stress ... and maximizes your skin conductance response (thereby helping to alleviate skin conditions such as psoriasis, acne, seborrhea, etc.) -- in 2 seconds or less!  

*  There's a little-known mineral you can add to even the dirtiest, most contaminated water and transform it into the most pristine, highest grade drinking water.  That water will replenish the 10 layers of water surrounding your DNA -- thereby preventing DNA damage that causes accelerated aging, cancer and a host of serious health problems.  The money you save and the health you regain simply by "making your own water" is worth the price of the conference DVDs many times over.  Adding this mineral to your drinking water has even been shown to get rid of gray hair!

*  How a $2.25 million NIH study is poised to prove that a specific variety of mushroom helps cure breast cancerHint:  You've probably never heard of this medicinal mushroom before, even though it's the best documented mushroom in medial research.  (No, it's not reishi, maitake or shiitake).  A mushroom grower's 84-year-old mother, who was diagnosed with Stage IV terminal breast cancer, became cancer-free in 8 months because of this mushroom.  (See details below)

*  There's a nutrient that has been shown to help prevent and heal degenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's Disease, diabetes and cancer, as well as asthma, depression, schizophrenia and a wide spectrum of health conditions, including overweight and obesity Hint: This can single-handedly prevent at least 2 million cancer deaths per year.

*  There is a method of growing food in a way that optimizes the food's genetics.  When we eat that food, we, in turn, optimize our genetics -- and this is when the activation of human genius occurs.  This may well be the secret to creating generations of genius children who can transform the world.

     The health information above represents only a tiny fraction of the highlights contained in 3 of the 24 videos that comprise the Longevity Conference DVD set. 

     Although each of the 24 videos contains priceless health information, Video 1 alone is worth 100 times the price of the entire DVD set.  Here's why: 

20 Years of Pain -- Gone in 1 Hour!

     In Video 1, the conference emcee, Len Foley, asked the attendees this question:  

"How many of you have experienced any type of physical pain
anywhere in your body?"

     Every one of the 460 attendees' hands went up in the air.  Then came the second question:

"Is there anybody in this room who wants to get rid of your pain without doing anything -- no drugs, no surgery -- while you're sitting in your chair  and have the pain go away in 60 minutes?"

     The room became so quiet that you could've heard a pin drop.  No one seemed to believe it was possible.  I know I didn't.

     Len proceeded to ask for volunteers -- volunteers who had acute or chronic pain that they've had for years, and who were willing to do a simple procedure to get rid of that pain in 1 hour
.  The 4 volunteers who came forward suffered from different kinds of pain, including lower back pain and knee pain. 

     Before they underwent the procedure, the volunteers were asked to give a small pinprick blood sample so that a "Before" snapshot could be taken of it -- and later compared to a second blood sample to be taken after the procedure.

     The procedure involved simply affixing to the bottom of the right foot an adhesive patch attached to an electrically conductive grounding mechanism that had been wired to their chair. 

     The results were mind-boggling!

     After just one hour, the volunteers were able to get rid of the pain that they've had for years!  But what was even more astounding was how their blood looked after the procedure.  Here is a before-and-after snapshot of the blood of one of the volunteers.  ↓↓↓↓



     The before-and-after snapshot above was representative of all the other volunteers' snapshots.  The "Before" shot shows the blood cells abnormally clumped together (i.e. agglutinated).  That's because a body that suffers from pain has a deficiency of electrons, and this causes the blood cells to attach themselves to each other in an effort to get the electrical charge that they need.  This clumping of cells brings about an inflammatory response -- the free radical response, which causes the pain.

     The "After" shot shows that immediately after electrons were delivered to the body via the electrically conductive grounding device, the blood cells instantly became negatively charged.  We know this because the cells detached themselves from each other.  Healthy blood cells do not stick to each other because they all have a negative electrical charge -- so they repel each other and don't clump together.

     Here's an explanation of the phenomenon that occurred:

==> The grounding device conducted electrons from the earth and delivered them to the part of the body where the inflammation or pain was located (because that's the place where there was a deficiency of electrons);

==> the free radicals were immediately neutralized;

==> and as a result, the inflammation and the pain completely disappeared.

     The elegant simplicity of this natural pain elimination phenomenon is so breathtaking -- especially in light of the fact that
the electrically conductive device with which you "ground" yourself is not expensive at all.  One would think that a device which eliminates any and all physical pain would be sold for hundreds, or even thousands of dollars.  Actually, it costs only between $20.00 to $60.00, depending on which retailer you buy it from. 

     I'll reveal my little-known source in next week's issue of The Underground Health Reporter.  For the time being, I recommend you get the Longevity Conference DVDs so you'll learn how to use the device and have access to the stunning experiments and research behind it.

Getting rid of pain is only the beginning...

     Pain elimination is just one of the amazing things that the electrically conductive grounding device accomplishes (see other health and longevity benefits below).  But if getting rid of pain were the only thing it did, that would be a great feat in and of itself.  After all, acute and chronic pain are probably the most common health problems people have. 

     Imagine what the world would be like if no one suffered from pain anymore.  Low back pain is something that 80% of adults experience in their lifetime, and it accounts for 25% of visits to primary care physicians, according to Edward Paul, M.D., Associate Professor of Family and Community Medicine, University of Arizona College of Medicine. 

     Headache pain is No. 2 among the most common acute and chronic types of pain; followed by joint pain (from arthritis or from trauma caused by accidents or sports injuries).  Then, there's chronic abdominal pain, acute abdominal pain and different types of chest pain syndromes.

     But alleviation of pain through electromagnetism is just one of the countless health benefits delivered by this revolutionary mechanism...

Health and Longevity in 60 Minutes!
 

"The human cell is electrical in nature, not chemical.  Chemical reactions in the body take time, so we can't expect to improve our lives rapidly through chemistry.  The electromagnetic phenomenon, on the other hand, is instantaneous -- so our best bet for better living is through electromagnetism."

     In addition to getting rid of inflammation and pain, being "grounded" to the earth via the electrically conductive device also ...

==> leads to a dramatic improvement in your longevity
==> boosts intelligence
==> improves circulation instantaneously
==>
regulates blood pressure
==> immediately alleviates skin conditions (such as psoriasis,
        seborrhea, acne, rosacea, etc.) because of marked
        change in skin conductance
==> helps heal auto-immune diseases (lupus, Epstein-Barr,
       Rheumatoid Arthritis, Multiple Sclerosis, fibromyalgia,
       Type 1 diabetes)
==> instantly gets allergies under control
==>
provides increased energy and vitality
==> decreases muscle tension significantly
==> creates an electron shield around your body that protects
        you against electromagnetic fields (EMFs) from computers,
        appliances, power lines, home wiring, airport and military
        radar, substations and transformers.  [Note:  EMFs have been shown to
          cause brain tumors, leukemia, birth defects, miscarriages, chronic fatigue, headaches,
          cataracts, heart problems, stress. nausea, chest pain, forgetfulness, cancer and other
          health problems.]

     And all these health benefits are delivered within 60 minutes.  The studies show that "grounding" yourself with this electrically conductive device for only 20 to 30 minutes is usually sufficient, but most results are seen within 1 hour.

     Perhaps the most astounding thing about this "grounding" phenomenon is that it's based on solid science and backed by multiple scientific studies involving biophysicists, medical doctors and electrophysiologists

It's Actually a Scientific Certainty.

     When you "ground" yourself via the electrically conductive device described in Video 1, you will get rid of any pain and inflammation from your body.  

     And as sure as 2 molecules of hydrogen and 1 molecule of oxygen become water (H2O), you will also get all the health and longevity benefits enumerated above.

     I know you're beginning to see why I said earlier that Video 1 alone is worth 100 times the price of the entire Longevity Conference DVD set.  When you own the Longevity Conference DVDs, you'll find out for yourself how the healing discovery in Video 1 can radically impact your health and your longevity.  Click here to get the DVDs.

     Quite frankly, all the other videos of the Longevity Conference reveal healing discoveries that are also amazing.  Any one of them could also  dramatically change your health and your life. 

     What would your life become if you used all the discoveries of the 17 health experts featured in the Longevity Conference?  [See list of conference speakers below]

A Paradigm Shift
in Your Health and Well-Being

     In any given health conference, if you learn just one thing that is useful, that one thing could literally change your life.  But if you come away with information from 17 health experts, how would that change your life? 

     Unlike other health conferences you may have attended in the past (whether in person or via webcasts or DVDs), the Longevity Conference is not a hodgepodge of unrelated health information thrown together gratuitously for the purpose of filling up time slots.  Neither is it just an entire kitchen sink full of ordinary information that you can find in books, health publications or the Internet.

     Instead, the content presented at the Longevity Conference consists of cutting-edge, state-of-the-art discoveries -- most of it not yet available to the general public -- from the best health disciplines.  And the content was designed to come together as one massive but cohesive body of knowledge that is both valuable and immediately useful.

     The Longevity Conference DVDs cover the whole spectrum of advanced health information.  No time has been wasted on unproven or marginally effective health and longevity information that have dubious benefits.  All you'll get are pure, usable strategies that take the least amount of time, energy and finances -- and yet get you the highest return on your investment and the highest value back.

Maximum Health in Minimum Time!

     In many ways, owning the conference DVDs is better than having attended the actual Longevity Conference in person last March.  Here's why:

1)  Sometimes, when you attend a live conference, you aren't able to take notes fast enough -- or you miss out on some of the important information because speakers talk too fast.  With the DVDs, you can watch the presentations at your own pace ... and have the luxury of replaying the portions of the conference you want to listen to again and again -- as often as you like.

2)  You also don't have to incur the cost of traveling to the conference site or booking a
hotel room to attend the conference. 

     When you decide you want to own the Longevity Conference DVDs, the DVDs will be shipped to you as soon as your order is processed, and they will arrive at your doorstep in 7 to 10 days.  But here's something wonderful that David Wolfe is giving ...
