American Minute with Bill Federer JUNE 27 - Helen Keller

American Minute with Bill Federer JUNE 27 - Helen Keller 'I thank God for my handicaps, for, through them, I have found myself, my work, and my God.' Invite Bill Federer to speak Click Here     Helen Keller was born JUNE 27, 1880. At the age of two she suffered an illness that left her blind and deaf. Her parents took her to Dr. Alexander Graham Bell who recommended the Perkins Institute for the Blind in Boston. It was there, at age of 7, that Helen Keller was taught by Anne Sullivan through the sense of touch. Anne eventually taught Helen to read Braille. Helen Keller began attending Radcliffe College, where Anne Sullivan interpreted the lectures. Helen became concerned about all the blind, especially those blinded in World War I or by poor working conditions. She received numerous international honors for her efforts to help the blind. Helen Keller learned to type on a Braille typewriter and wrote many books between 1903 and 1941, including: The Story of My Life, 1903; Optimism, 1903; The World I Live In, 1908; The Song of the Stone Wall, 1910; Out of the Dark, 1913; My Religion, 1927; Midstream, 1930; Let Us Have Faith, 1941; and The Open Door, 1957. Helen Keller stated: "I thank God for my handicaps, for, through them, I have found myself, my work, and my God." In the film documentary of her life, The Unconquered, Helen Keller responded to the question, "Can you see the world?": "I can see, and that is why I can be so happy, in what you call the dark, but which to me is golden. I can see a God-made world, not a man-made world." On June 26, 1955, regarding reading the Bible, Helen Keller stated: "It gives me a deep comforting sense that 'things seen are temporal and things unseen are eternal.'" Helen stated: "Just as all things upon earth represent and image forth all the realities of another world, so the Bible is one mighty representative of the whole spiritual life of humanity." On February 5, 1955, at the age of 74, Helen Keller typed a message on a conventional typewriter during an interview with newsmen just prior to her 40,000 mile world-wide journey, much of which was by airplane: "It's wonderful to climb the liquid mountains of the sky. Behind me and before me is God and I have no fears." On June 26, 1955, just a few days before her 75th birthday, Helen Keller stated: "Self-pity is our worst enemy and if we yield to it, we can never do anything wise in the world." Helen Keller was introduced to President Grover Cleveland at age 7. She met President Eisenhower in 1953. She received letters from eight U.S. presidents-from Theodore Roosevelt in 1903 to Lyndon B. Johnson in 1965. In 1961, Helen Keller met President John F. Kennedy. She received the French Legion of Honor and the U.S. Presidential Medal of Freedom. A statue of Helen Keller as a young girl, learning the sense of touch at a water pump, is in the U.S. Capitol from the State of Alabama. Helen Keller concluded: "Four things to learn in life: To think clearly without hurry or confusion; To love everybody sincerely; To act in everything with the highest motives; To trust God unhesitatingly."  Get your copy of American Minute - Notable Events of American Significance Remembered on the Date They Occurred Watch Faith in History  Read American Minute Archives News from AmericanMinute.com Schedule interview or speaking - contact Bill Federer 314-487-4395 wjfederer@gmail.com    Get the book, Miracles in American History-32 Amazing Stories of Answered Prayer Join Bill on trip of a lifetime to Israel - NEW DATES Teach English overseas! a month or a year - and be paid! - Find out MORE here  Visit the American Minute archive   Click here to shop AMERICAN MINUTE store Read the Daily Reading at:  http://www.biblegateway.com/reading-plans/old-new-testament/2013/06/27 Receive the daily American Minute on your Facebook wall, Twitter feed, or RSS reader.    Get a great book and help a great cause: James Nyondo's Absolute Integrity:   The Bridge to Your Destiny http://www.nasaf.net/book/   Please support the American Minute.  Click here to make a donation.

AHRP- Another View_Academics FOR INFORMED CONSENT

Subject:	Another View_Academics FOR INFORMED CONSENT
Date:	Thu, 27 Jun 2013 06:36:47 -0400
From:	AHRP <ahrp@ahrp.org>
To:	Infomail1@ahrp.org

ALLIANCE FOR HUMAN RESEARCH PROTECTION (AHRP)
Advancing Honest and Ethical Medical Research
www.ahrp.org

FYI

"The OHRP and SUPPORT--Another View" by a group of 45 physicians, ethicists, and scholars in allied fields who have stepped up to the plate to express their support for OHRP's determination that the informed-consent documents that were used in the SUPPORT experiment in which  were seriously inadequate.
See, http://www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/NEJMc1308015

The issues are far more insidious than this commentary in the NEJM suggests. It follows a series of editorials and commentaries  by influential "key opinion leaders" (as they're referred to within the biomedical industry)  which condoned that unethical medical experiment conducted on tiny premature babies whose parents were deceived about the purpose of the experiment, the alternative standard of care, and concealed from them the risk of death.

The thrust of those editorials was to assert the entitlement of the medical research enterprise to decide if and when medical experiments require obtaining informed consent. These KOLs included the directors of the National Institute of Health and the National Institute of Child and Human Development who challenged the authority of the Office of Human Research Protections to enforce Federal Informed Consent regulations.

It appears that some medical researchers are having trouble getting volunteers for their experiments. So, they are attempting to redefine "research" and "risk" and would leave to their own discretion if and when to comply with legal informed consent requirements.

Powerful forces are clamoring to dispense with Informed Consent requirements--for experiments that test variations of currently used interventions, "comparative effectiveness research" which may test -different strengths of medicines, different doses, different combinations, different durations...etc.
Such trials constitute research by any standard, and they pose foreseeable risks--as does any randomized medical experiment.

If successful, their effort would be a GIANT step toward dismantling Federal research protections from experiments for which they cannot get volunteers.
~~~~~~~~
A public meeting is to be held in Washington Aug 28, from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m in DC.
Written comments are also solicited.
 https://s3.amazonaws.com/public-inspection.federalregister.gov/2013-15160.pdf

To register to attend and speak, you need to send an email to OHRP@hhs.gov, indicating you want to register to attend AND speak at the meeting.
Include the following in the subjects heading of your email: “Registration for HHS Public Meeting”

 Also include your name, address, telephone number, email address, and fax number.

 Registration to attend the public meeting will be accepted on a first-come, first-served basis. If seating capacity has been reached, you will be notified that the meeting has reached capacity.

Request to speak may be: I am writing to register for the August 28 public meeting regarding certain provisions of the HHS requirements related to the protection of human subjects should be applied to research studying one or more interventions which are used as standard of care treatment in the non-research context. I request XX minutes of time to present at the meeting.
~~~~~~~~~

We have posted the first of 4 Parts of an in-depth documented overview of the high stakes and key players involved in this serious effort to eviscerate current Federal regulations.
"Trust in Medical Research is Undermined by Researchers, Bioethicists, and NIH Officials Who Condone an Unethical Experiment in Violation of Informed Consent" 

Soon after publication of the SUPPORT trial report in The New England Journal of Medicine, (2010) SUPPORT researchers have been publishing articles in the journal Pediatrics in which they stated: “obtaining informed consent requires time and effort; the number of patients enrolled seemed to be much smaller than the number screened…” They acknowledged SUPPORT had encountered resistance from mothers whose consent to enroll their vulnerable babies in the study was difficult to obtain:   

“Of the 2228 mothers who were approached, 1219 (54.7%) gave consent… The frequency of approaches [to obtain informed consent] ranged from 1 time to 11 times... It took between 1735 and 2790 hours to obtain consent decisions from the 2228 mothers who were approached, to enroll 611 infants. Our results revealed that 5 families needed to be identified and screened for every 1 infant enrolled successfully.“ ¹³

They blame the enrollment bias of their study on informed consent requirements—rather than taking responsibility for their failure to design an ethically and scientifically acceptable research protocol:

        “use of prenatal consent may not represent adequately the populations that trials are intended to study…the consent process is very inefficient, costly and
        biased the trial enrollment, such that the mothers and their infants differed in important ways from the available eligible population of very preterm infants.”¹³

American Minute with Bill Federer JUNE 26 - U.N. began with high hopes

American Minute with Bill Federer JUNE 26 - U.N. began with high hopes...but 'a growing disregard for U.N. Charter'-Reagan  Invite Bill Federer to speak Click Here     The name 'United Nations' was coined by Franklin Roosevelt for nations fighting the National Socialist Workers Party (Nazi) and their axis powers. Speaking on Justice for War Crimes, March 24, 1944, Roosevelt explained how the original goal of the United Nations involved protecting the Jews: "In one of the blackest crimes of all history - begun by the Nazis...the wholesale systematic murder of the Jews of Europe goes on unabated...Hundreds of thousands of Jews...are now threatened with annihilation as Hitler's forces descend... The United Nations have made it clear that they will pursue the guilty...All who knowingly take part in the deportation of Jews to their death...are equally guilty with the executioner... The United Nations are fighting to make a world in which tyranny and aggression cannot exist." On November 11, 1942, President Franklin Roosevelt complimented the Jewish Theological Seminary of America: "If the world to emerge from the war after a victory of the United Nations is to be a world of enduring peace and of freedom, that peace and that freedom must be founded on renewed loyalty to the spiritual values... Enemies of mankind who are arrayed in battle against us realized this, and therefore began their effort to subdue the world with an assault on religious institutions...which...taught...the dignity and worth of human personality... In cooperation with Catholic, Jewish, and Protestant scholars...it will in time, I trust, become an increasingly powerful instrument for enlightening men of all faiths." The day after Franklin D. Roosevelt's funeral, President Harry S. Truman told Congress, April 16, 1945: "Our forefathers came to our rugged shores in search of religious tolerance...Within an hour after I took the oath of office, I announced that the (United Nations) San Francisco Conference would proceed... In the memory of our fallen President...I appeal to every American...to support our efforts to build a strong and lasting United Nations Organization...with Divine guidance, and your help... I humbly pray Almighty God, in the words of King Solomon: 'Give therefore thy servant an understanding heart.'"" In April 25, 1945, President Truman addressed United Nations delegates at the Fairmont Hotel in San Francisco: "At no time in history has there been a more important Conference than this one in San Francisco which you are opening today... We beseech our Almighty God to guide us in the building of a permanent monument to those who gave their lives that this moment might come." The United Nations Charter was signed JUNE 26, 1945, by 51 member nations. It began with high hopes, as President Harry S Truman stated, March 6, 1946: "We have just come though a decade in which the forces of evil in various parts of the world have been lined up in a bitter fight to banish from the face of the earth both these ideals-religion and democracy....founded on one basic principle, the worth and dignity of the individual man and woman. Dictatorship...is founded on the doctrine that...men and women and children were put on earth solely for the purpose of serving the State... The Protestant Church, the Catholic Church, and the Jewish Synagogue - bound together in the American unity of brotherhood - must provide the shock forces to accomplish this moral and spiritual awakening...Unless it is done, we are headed for the disaster we would deserve... We have tried to write into the Charter of the United Nations the essence of religion." One of the first acts of the United Nations was to recognize Israel as a nation on May 15, 1948. In 1953, President Eisenhower addressed the United Nations: "The whole book of history reveals mankind's never-ending quest for peace and mankind's God-given capacity to build." Eisenhower's delegate to the United Nations was Henry Cabot Lodge, Jr., who sent a letter to every member state, December 30, 1955: "I propose that God should be openly and audibly invoked at the United Nations... I do so in the conviction that we cannot make the United Nations into a successful instrument of God's peace without God's help - and that with His help we cannot fail. To this end I propose that we ask for that help." The U.N.chose not act on Lodge's proposal. Charles Habib Malik, President of the United Nations' General Assembly, 13th Session, who helped write the United Nations Universal Declaration of Human Rights, stated in 1958: "The good (in the United States) would never have come into being without the blessing and power of Jesus Christ... Whoever tries to conceive the American word without taking full account of the suffering and love and salvation of Christ is only dreaming. I know how embarrassing this matter is to politicians, bureaucrats, businessmen and cynics; but, whatever these honored men think, the irrefutable truth is that the soul of America is at its best and highest, Christian." In subsequent years, the mission of the United Nations has become unclear. Former President Herbert Clark Hoover told the American Newspaper Publishers Association, April 27, 1950: "I suggest that the United Nations should be reorganized without the Communist nations in it. If that is impractical, then a definite New United Front should be organized of those peoples who disavow communism, who stand for morals and religion, and who love freedom... What the world needs today is a definite, spiritual mobilization of the nations who believe in God against this tide of Red agnosticism. It needs a moral mobilization against the hideous ideas of the police state and human slavery... It is a proposal to redeem the concept of the United Nations to the high purpose for which it was created...It is a proposal for moral and spiritual cooperation of God-fearing free nations...in rejecting an atheistic other world." By June 10, 1963, President Dwight Eisenhower confided to the National Junior Chamber of Commerce: "The United Nations has seemed to be two distinct things to the two worlds divided by the iron curtain... To the free world it has seemed that it should be a constructive forum... To the Communist world it has been a convenient sounding board for their propaganda, a weapon to be exploited in spreading disunity and confusion." Ronald Reagan addressed the U.N. General Assembly, June 17, 1982: "Eleanor Roosevelt, one of our first ambassadors to this body, reminded us that the high-sounding words of tyrants stand in bleak contradiction to their deeds... In these times when more and more lawless acts are going unpunished...some members of this very body show a growing disregard for the U.N. Charter... President Truman said, 'If we should pay merely lip service to inspiring ideals, and later do violence to simple justice, we would draw down upon us the bitter wrath of generations yet unborn.'" The Universal Declaration of Human Rights, adopted by the UN General Assembly, December 10, 1948, recognized basic human rights, such as: freedom of opinion and expression; freedom to change religions; right to education; no slavery; no forced marriages; no torture; and no inhumane punishment. Islamic leaders of 57 countries rejected the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. They formed the Organization of Islamic Cooperation. In 1990, they passed the 'Cairo Declaration on Human Rights in Islam' affirming Shariah law as supreme, with the death penalty for those leaving Islam, censoring free speech insulting Islam, and allowing men to be polygamous and beat their wives.
