The B-12 issue for raw vegans

The B-12 Issue for Raw Vegans
from Steven Gibb, former Program Director, Creative Health Institute

The reason that we don't assimilate B-12 in the gut is because, when we're inoculated, our intrinsic factor in our gut breaks down. Those are the cells in the stomach that absorb nutrients from the food.

The way to correct that is to eat lightly fermented foods for one year. So... it's either Rejuvelac and/or lightly fermented cabbage.

The second thing that we've discovered is that the dark leafy greens we thought had B-Complexes in them, especially the B-12s, we've now found that they're B-12 Analogs, and B-12 Analogs interfere with the B-12 in our body, which is stored in the liver and other organs. B-12 Analogs attach to the receptor sites, not allowing the B-12 to get into our system. Again, fermented foods (a spoonful or so with every meal) fix this and get the gut going again.

So anyone who's been inoculated doesn't assimilate B-12, and this isn't just vegetarians.

Vaccination Awareness

The topic of vaccinations is always emotional for both sides of the camp. People who have not done their research are quick to say that it is ignorant to avoid vaccinations.

However, this is quite the oxymoron because mothers with college educations and higher incomes are those who are LESS likely to vaccinate their children. - http://v.mercola.com/blogs/post.aspx?App=public_blog&PostID=4226&Subscribed=1

Jailing Parents Over not Vaccinating - A Terrorist Act?

With the help of two state judges and the head of the local school board, Glenn Ivey conspired to terrorize parents with threats of having them taken from their homes at gunpoint (being arrested) and forcibly separated from their families by throwing them in jail for up to 30 days if they refused to have their children vaccinated with drugs that contain the toxic heavy metal mercury.

There is absolutely no question that under the new legislation that's about to pass the Senate, called the Violent Radicalization and Homegrown Terrorism Prevention Act, Glenn Ivey's actions would qualify as acts of terrorism. (See our previous report on this topic at http://www.newstarget.com/022308.html ) Even more interestingly, Glenn Ivey merely thinking about threatening parents who don't get their children vaccinated would, all by itself, be considered a terrorist "thoughtcrime" act.

Glenn Ivey, of course, will never be prosecuted as a terrorist under this law. But if you or I picked up a gun, shoved it in the faces of parents, and threatened to kidnap them if they didn't inject their children with toxic mercury, there's no doubt that we'd be arrested and charged with numerous crimes. So why does the state of Maryland get away with making essentially the same threat?

Because in a fascist police state, the laws are never applied to the criminals running the State. Laws are selectively applied only to the citizenry, not the officials, bureaucrats and law enforcement personnel who are protecting the power structure. This is, in fact, a key sign of an unjust society: The King's laws never apply to the King! (Only to the peasants...)

Ignoring the rule of law, essentially, it means there are two tiers of law. At the bottom, there are all the laws that apply to the people, which include this anti-terrorism legislation. But at the top, none of those laws apply to the people running the State.

Legally Avoiding Immunizations

Dr. Mark Nesselson, a New York pediatrician who conspired with families to get their children into school without state-mandated vaccinations, has been fined $10,000 and told he can practice only under supervision. Dr. Nesselson admitted to falsifying forms for four children in two families, and later admitted that he had done the same for a handful of other families over the years.

The parents of his patients, who knew Nesselson was falsifying the forms, were concerned about the potential adverse health effects of vaccines.

Nesselson began to question the safety of vaccines in the 1990’s, after seeing many autistic children whose parents said that the onset of the disorder coincided with vaccinations.

Nesselson’s actions were discovered after he moved to Hawaii two years ago and gave medical records to his patients' parents to take to their new doctors. A new pediatrician seen by two families turned Nesselson in.

There are two basic axioms you should never forget. They are the rock upon which all your actions are based.

1. Nobody, anywhere or any time and under any circumstances has the right or power in this country to immunize you or your children against your will and conviction. If they attempt to do so, you can legally charge them with "assault with a deadly weapon" and have the full resources of our laws behind you.

2.  At all times in attempting to avoid unwanted immunization, you have the Law of the Land behind you. Those who would try to vaccinate you against your will are on very shaky ground. Into every compulsory immunization law in America are written legal exceptions and waivers which are there specifically to protect you from the attempted tyranny of officialdom. It is not only your right, but your obligation to use them, if this is what your conscience tells you.

Why giving flu vaccine during pregnancy doesn't make sense

A comprehensive review of the scientific reasons why the U.S. government decision to vaccinate all pregnant women is fatally flawed: http://www.mercola.com/2006/jul/11/why_giving_the_flu_vaccine_during_pregnancy_doesnt_make_any_sense.htm.

The Film About Vaccines You Simply Must See

This film is produced and freely distributed by consumer protector and public health expert, Dr. Leonard Horowitz, and features the world's leading vaccine expert, Dr. Maurice Hilleman, explaining why Merck's vaccines have spread AIDS, leukemia, and other horrific plagues worldwide.

It may seem inconceivable, but disease is Big Business. And, if you’re cynical - which seems to become easier with each passing day - it’s a way to achieve population control while making huge profits in the process.

Soldier Refuses Anthrax Vaccine

Government: "Vaccines threaten up to 44,000 soldiers"

"This really is like Russian roulette. Spin the chamber and take your shot"

A U.S. soldier in Iraq is being punished for refusing an anthrax vaccine that has a questionable safety record and apparently will be drummed out of the service.

But such punishments may be of no avail to the military; the word already is out in a government report that up to an estimated 44,000 service members could end up with "severe adverse events (including) disability or death" from such mandatory medicines.

The recent case involves Pfc. Leif Hamre, 22, who reports he's been subjected to threats and intimidation after refusing to take the controversial anthrax vaccine and was given a variety of punishments, including 18-hour work days.

Hamre reports he was given an ultimatum in June to take the vaccine or be punished but couldn't accept the medication, especially after he discovered the military wasn't even handling the vaccines under the rules for storing it at the correct temperature.

In an open letter to friends and family members, he said, "The tactics they have used to coerce me into taking the shot are unregulated, unscrupulous and downright un-American."

He reported he then was given an Article 15 – a non-judicial punishment in the military – and his mother reported he was taken off missions, assigned extra duty and had his pay scale lowered.

The controversial shots first were mandated for U.S. military troops heading to the Middle East for the Gulf War in 1991, then required in the late 1990s and again for the Iraq War in 2003.

But the vaccine has been linked by investigative journalist Gary Matsumoto in his book, "Vaccine-A," to the Gulf War Syndrome, and a recent report from the General Accounting Office even confirmed that tens of thousands of soldiers are expected to suffer significant health threats from the mandatory vaccinations.

The Facts About Immunization

by Dr. Mercola

The Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices, a division of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), has released the 2007-2008 recommended immunization schedules for adults in the US.

The schedule includes 11 different types of vaccines for adults, including:

• Tetanus, diphtheria, and acellular pertussis (Td/Tdap)
• Human papillomavirus (HPV)
• Measles, mumps, rubella (MMR)
• Influenza
• Herpes zoster (shingles)

Key changes in this year's recommendations include:

• Varicella (chickenpox) vaccination is recommended for all adults that have no apparent immunity to the virus
• Zoster (shingles) vaccination is advised for all adults 60 years of age and older, regardless of whether they have had a prior shingles episode
• HPV vaccine is recommended for women over the age of 26, who have not already completed the three-dose series
• Did you know they’re even working on a vaccine for dental caries (cavities)?

I about fell off my chair when I read that one. But it’s true. The CDC actually defines dental caries as an infectious, communicable disease, and a vaccine may be here sooner than you think.

This is beyond ridiculous when you consider that there are many cultures in the world that simply have virtually NO tooth decay and I can strongly assure you that it has absolutely nothing related to any vaccine. It is because they are not eating processed foods and sugars and are mostly consuming foods appropriate for their nutritional type.

I firmly believe, as Dr. Weston Price confirmed in his pioneering research a century ago, that if you eat the proper foods you can avoid dental decay virtually your entire life.

Unfortunately that simply wasn’t true for me and the majority of my teeth were LOADED with silver mercury amalgam fillings by the time I graduated high school. It wasn’t until the mid 90s that I realized that it was best to have the mercury removed BUT unfortunately I saw a conventional dentist that was clueless about the precautions required to remove these fillings and as a result, I suffered some kidney impairment that I still struggle with today.

So if you have silver fillings removed make sure that a good “biological” dentist does the replacements for you. My current favorite replacement material is a metal free composite. I actually have two bridges constructed from this and a mouth full of composite crowns.

Why do People Still Believe in the Flu Shot?

But getting back to the vaccines, Big Pharma may appear idiotic, but they are no fools. They know people want guaranteed safety. “Here, take this shot and nothing bad will happen to you,” they say. And a lot of people believe them, even when evidence of the opposite comes out. They just want the magic pill to be true.

Some hard-hitting evidence released just a couple of months ago should make anyone think twice about the flu shot: flu vaccines have NEVER been proven to prevent flu-related deaths in people over age 65, which is one of the primary groups for which they’re recommended.

You may also be shocked to learn that the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) grossly distorts the facts about flu deaths. If you go to the CDC’s main flu page, you’ll see their statistic that about 36,000 people die from the flu in the United States each year.

But if you search a little harder, you can find the actual number of people who died from the flu in 2005 (this is the most recent data that’s available). Want to take a guess at what it is?

In 2005, 1,806 people died from influenza, not 36,000. And in 2004, there were just 1,100 flu deaths.

The statistics the CDC gives are skewed partly because they classify those dying from pneumonia as dying from the flu, which is not at all true or accurate. For instance, their 2005 statistics lump influenza and pneumonia deaths together, at 62,804 deaths.

But broken down, there were 60,998 deaths from pneumonia and just 1,806 from the flu.

This will not stop the powers-that-be from touting their yearly fall warnings about this year’s upcoming flu season, and all the flu deaths that will follow. The media (which is largely controlled by corporations, many of which are making or selling the flu shots or the junk food that will actually make you more vulnerable to the flu) would have you believe that getting the flu shot is all you need to do to stay healthy all winter.

How to Prevent the Flu Naturally

For most people the flu shot does not make you healthy; it does just the opposite, as it weakens your immune system. It appears that some of you in the medical field are beginning to catch on to this, with less than 40 percent of health care workers getting flu shots in 2006.

The truth is, if you follow a healthy lifestyle, you will not have to worry about getting the flu.

Take it from me -- I’ve never received a flu shot, and I haven’t missed a day of work due to illness in over 20 years. The key steps that I follow to stay flu-free, which I suggest you follow too, include:

• Get plenty of sunshine or vitamin D
• Eat right for your nutritional type, including avoiding sugar
• Exercise
• Get adequate sleep
• Address emotional stress
• Wash your hands regularly
• Take the Time to Make Informed Decisions

Whether or not you will subject yourself to the flu shot, or any of the other recommended vaccinations, is an important decision. Unless you’ve already studied it carefully, I would implore you to spend some time analyzing both sides of the argument before you make up your mind. Rushing blindly ahead could have dire consequences, especially if you’ve never considered the potential for side effects. You can use the links on my Favorites Page to start your journey. 

If you do the research and decide that a vaccination is NOT for you, you do have the legal right to refuse it.

Forced Vaccinations in Maryland

(NewsTarget) Following the State of Maryland's threats against parents who refuse to have their children vaccinated, children were herded into a Price George County courthouse being guarded by armed personnel with attack dogs. Inside, the children were forcibly vaccinated, many against their will, under orders from the State Attorney General, various State Judges and the local School Board Director, all of whom illegally conspired to threaten parents with imprisonment if they did not submit their children to vaccinations.

The State of Maryland has now turned to Gestapo tactics to force its medical will upon the People, stripping parents of any right to decide how they wish to protect their own children from infectious disease. Health authorities there have already announced their intent to essentially kidnap parents and throw them in jail, removing them from their children for up to thirty days if they continue to refuse to have their children vaccinated. This will all be conducted at gunpoint, with armed personnel and attack dogs at the ready, making sure nobody steps out of line, and suppressing any attempt at public dissent against the Orwellian vaccination policies.

The entire campaign against these parents is blatantly illegal. There is no law in Maryland requiring the vaccination of children, thus parents who refuse to do so may not be legally charged with violating any law. Instead, Maryland health and school authorities are using Gestapo-like tactics, threatening to charge the parents with child truancy violations, criminalizing them for daring to protect their children from the dangerous chemicals found in vaccines (including thimerosal, a chemical additive containing a neurotoxic form of mercury).

The desperation of organized medicine is becoming increasingly apparent – for the rest of the story visit http://www.newstarget.com/022267.html.

Vaccinate Your Kids or Go To Jail

Fox News, USA Today, and a number of other major media outlets reported this week on news from Maryland where dozens of parents were notified by a district court that either they vaccinate their children or go to jail.

The media reports have caused a lot of confusion around the U.S. among parents who have chosen not to vaccinate their children for certain illnesses based on concerns about possible negative impacts from the vaccines themselves. While the mainstream medical community claims vaccines are safe and effective, some people blame immunizations for a rise in autism and other medical problems.

In actuality, there are no federal laws requiring vaccinations. Providing schools with vaccine exemption forms for your child is all that is required by federal law.

If you have thoroughly researched the vaccine issue and have decided one or more vaccines may not be right for your children, follow this link to a website where you can download exemption forms for your state or country. http://www.vaclib.org/exemption.htm

The Danger of Vaccines, and How You Can Legally Avoid Them

Vaccines can harm, and in some cases, even kill. And at school, vaccine requirements for admission are a serious problem that many of you, whether parents of preschool to college students, or a college student yourself, will face.

The Danger of Vaccines, and How You Can Legally Avoid Them is a professionally recorded 90-minute MP3 audio file that you can conveniently listen to on your personal MP3 player, computer, or other MP3 playing source. The audio file features an important and detailed conversation between world-renowned vaccine expert Dr. Sherri Tenpenny and me in the first hour, with select questions from over 600 conference participants in the second half-hour. This audio file will help you:

• Discover simple, practical steps you can take to legally avoid dangerous immunizations
• Learn the difference between philosophical, religious and medical exemptions
• Understand why most medical exemptions will not stand up in court
• Learn practical methods of improving your child's immunity so they won't get the diseases the vaccines are supposed to, but frequently don't, prevent
• Health care practitioners and others with a professional interest in health will also find this tape invaluable, as your patients will benefit from this information and you will learn the serious legal dangers you risk if you falsify a medical exemption.

The damage vaccines inflict on individuals and society far outweighs any potential benefit they may claim. This is not unverifiable hype from the fringes. Indisputable facts support this claim. Countless firsthand stories testify to the pain, damage and death vaccines have caused; a powerful story from a Mother who lost her baby to routine vaccination that is currently circulating the Internet is but one example.

But your government, under the thumb of a traditional medical system grown fat on extreme drug profits, refuses to expose this epidemic. They would still have you believe vaccinations are good. They would still have you believe vaccines for your child are "mandatory."

The Danger of Vaccines, and How You Can Legally Avoid Them finally dispels the myths and helps you:

• Understand why vaccines are essentially loaded guns aimed at your child's body
• Find out how you can disarm your school nurses by legally avoiding vaccines
• Learn what approaches you can take to immunize your child against disease safely - and for life

Skeptical of the Shots

A growing number of parents are claiming religious exemptions to avoid vaccinations for their children because they are skeptical of the shots’ effectiveness or are concerned about potential side effects, including autism. http://articles.mercola.com/sites/articles/archive/2007/11/10/growing-number-of-parents-use-religion-to-avoid-vaccines.aspx

Children with autism get day in court

By ANDREW BRIDGES, Associated Press Writer
Mon Jun 11, 7:11 PM ET

WASHINGTON - In excruciating detail, an Arizona mother on Monday described severe autism and devastating health problems that plague her 12-year-old daughter and asked a court to find common childhood vaccines were the cause.

The test case is being closely watched by nearly 5,000 families of autistic children who have lodged similar claims for compensation from a federal fund.

The case of Michelle Cedillo, of Yuma, Ariz., is the first alleging a vaccine-autism link to be heard in the U.S. Court of Federal Claims. It and eight other test cases are important because they will guide the handling of the other pending claims. Most contend that a mercury-rich preservative called thimerosal is to blame for the impaired social interaction typical of the disorder.

Should they prevail, the families will be eligible for compensation from a federal vaccine injury fund established by Congress to ensure an adequate supply of vaccines by shielding manufacturers from lawsuits. No autism claim has been paid from the fund thus far.

Large scientific studies have found no association between autism and vaccines containing thimerosal.

Government attorney Vincent Matanoski dismissed much of what the plaintiffs are expected to present during the three-week hearing as conjecture or speculation.

"You'll find their hypotheses untested or, when tested, have been found false," Matanoski said.

Theresa Cedillo said her daughter suffered five days of fever, her temperature often spiking to 105 degrees, after receiving a measles, mumps and rubella vaccination at age 15 months. Michelle was a happy, robust, responsive and loving child — in short, normal — but hasn't been the same since, her mother told the court.

Wearing noise-canceling headphones, Michelle was brought into the courtroom in a wheelchair at the start of the proceedings. She stayed only a short time, moaning audibly several times. Besides autism, Michelle suffers from inflammatory bowel disease, glaucoma and epilepsy. In addition, her bones, weakened by years of malnourishment, are prone to breaks, Theresa Cedillo said. Everything she eats is pumped in through a feeding tube, except for crackers and water.

"Clearly the story of Michelle's life is a tragic one," Special Master George Hastings Jr. said in thanking the family for allowing theirs to be the first test case. Hastings pledged he and two other special masters would listen carefully to all evidence.

Theresa Cedillo and husband Michael allege thimerosal-containing vaccines weakened their daughter's immune system and prevented her body from clearing the measles virus after she was immunized. That theory is one of three alleged by the thousands of plaintiffs. The others claim either thimerosal or the measles vaccine alone caused their children's autism.

"We hope to find out what happened and hopefully get the help she needs," said Theresa Cedillo, who takes care of her daughter full time at home.

The burden of proof is easier than in a traditional court. Plaintiffs only have to prove that a link between autism and the shots is more likely than not, based on a preponderance of evidence. But many parents say their children's symptoms did not show up until after their children received the vaccines, required by many states for admission to school.

"These are families who followed the rules. These are families who brought children in for vaccines. These are families who immunized their children," Cedillo attorney Thomas Powers said. Later, outside court, he cast aside any suggestion his clients were anti-vaccine.

Autism is characterized by impaired social interaction. Those affected often have trouble communicating, and they exhibit unusual or severely limited activities and interests.

In 1999, the U.S. government asked vaccine manufacturers to eliminate or reduce the use of thimerosal in childhood vaccines to limit infant exposure to mercury. Today, the preservative is no longer found in routine childhood vaccines but is used in some flu shots.

The nine test cases will be heard consecutively over the next year. A ruling in the Cedillo case could take months or longer, attorneys said.

The AMA - Murder by Injection

If you assumed the skewing of medicine toward the drug-addicted model that poses for conventional medicine has only been around a relatively short time, it's been alive and well for ages, according to writer and biographer Eustace Mullins, whose 1988 book, Murder by Injection, is the subject of this short Google video.

Mullins argues medicine's propensity toward needless drugs and procedures began long ago, as the Rockefeller Syndicate, U.S. government officials and the American Medical Association (AMA) formed an unholy triumvirate that successfully gained control of America's health care industry in the early part of the 20th century.

Sleight of Handling: More Merck Magic Tricks With HPV Vaccine

Legislatures in roughly 20 states have introduced measures that would mandate girls have the vaccine to attend school. Last week the House of the Virginia state legislature passed just such a measure.  The state Senate had already passed a similar measure.

The last clause buried deep down in the final bill that was passed calls for sharing information “without parental authorization, including, but not limited to, the month, day, and year of each administered immunization; the patient's name, address, telephone number, birth date, and social security number; and the parents' names.”

Draconian measures against parental and children’s rights for a draconian measure to be sure.

------------------

The Merck HocusPocusVaccine contains sodium borate (a common roach killer) in each of its three doses.

The National Library of Medicine (NLM) of the National Institutes of Health notes of sodium borate that it “is now known to be a dangerous poison, it is no longer commonly used in medical preparations.”

That was published in 2005.  Yet the FDA in 2006 approved the Merck vaccine with this “dangerous poison” to be “commonly used” in these vaccinations that are most definitively “medical preparations”.

The symptoms of sodium borate poisoning, according to the NLM citation, include many of the side effects being reported after less than six months of the vaccine usage.  These include convulsions, collapse, and seizures (twitching of facial muscles, arms, hands, legs, and feet).

“Every magic trick consists of three acts: the Pledge, the Turn and the Prestige,” a certain movie opens.

Look closely at the Merck magic trick.

The Pledge is cervical cancer prevention.

The Turn is the twisting of reality from the fact that at best this vaccine has only some effectiveness against some viruses that cause some cervical cancer.  The sum total of all that leaves this new vaccine some considerable distance from elimination of all cervical cancer.

The Prestige is the $4 billion dollars to be gained annually according to Wall Street analysts if this vaccine is made to be mandatory.

Why do Drugmakers Still Defend the Use of Mercury in Their Vaccines?

Health advocates have expressed outrage over a CDC recommendation that pregnant women, infants and children should continue to receive injections of thimerosal-containing flu vaccines, which contain mercury.

This recommendation comes despite an Institute of Medicine advisory that mercury-containing vaccines should not be injected into these sensitive populations. Thimerosal's harmful effects on the immune, metabolic and nervous systems have been widely documented.

However, Dr. Jay Lieberman, while making a presentation for the CDC regarding the recommendation, ignored the bulk of peer-reviewed research, and instead focused on a small number of highly criticized and flawed epidemiological studies that have found no harmful associations.

Dr. Lieberman has been a consultant to Merck, GlaxoSmithKline, and Sanofi-Pasteur, and is on the speakers' bureau for all three vaccine-makers. Merck, GlaxoSmithKline, and Sanofi-Pasteur all currently use thimerosal in their products.

The majority of flu shots contain 25 micrograms of mercury, an amount considered unsafe for anyone weighing less than 550 pounds. More: http://www.mercola.com/2007/mar/15/why-do-drugmakers-still-defend.htm.

Growing controversy over new Merck vaccines

Gardasil, Zostavax, and Rotateq were all vaccines introduced by Merck in late 2005 in an attempt to turn their finances around in the wake of litigation over thousands of deaths allegedly caused by the painkiller Vioxx.

However, Gardasil has caused conflicts between state legislatures who want to require young girls to take it and parents who believe such laws circumvent their rights. Meanwhile, Rotateq, designed to prevent gastrointestinal illnesses in children, has led to growing incidents of intussusception, a rare and life-threatening form of intestinal blockage.

In the wake of the continuing controversy over the Gardasil human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine, Merck has ended its lobbying campaign to make Gardasil a mandatory vaccine in the United States. The American Academy of Pediatrics, which has been supportive of Gardasil, was nonetheless pleased about the end of the campaign, citing concerns about requiring another vaccine for a problem that doesn't have a large impact on health nationwide.

At the same time, reports are being made of side effects associated with Gardasil, including fainting and dizziness. But a potentially far more dangerous risk is the growing incidence of intussusception among children who use Merck's vaccine Rotateq. Intussusception occurs when the intestine telescopes into itself, causing an obstruction of the bowel that is repaired surgically.

Most Americans unaware of mercury in flu shots

FLU SHOTS CONTAIN MERCURY

A survey of over 9,000 Americans found that an overwhelming majority of people had no idea their flu shots contain mercury. "More than 75 percent of Americans feel a mercury-containing flu shot should not be given to a pregnant woman or a child," said Lisa Handley, a founding parent of PutChildrenFirst.org, the group that organized the survey.

Handley's own son, Jamison, had an adverse reaction to a flu shot containing mercury in 2003. "I know firsthand how life-changing a flu shot with mercury can be, since our son began his regression into autism after his flu shot."

In 1999, government agencies called for the removal of Thimerosal, the mercury-based preservative in most vaccines. Then, in 2001, the American Academy of Pediatrics stated that, "mercury in all of its forms is toxic to the fetus and children." Despite these actions, 90 percent of this season's flu vaccines still contain Thimerosal.

More Evidence of Evil Marketing Geniuses at Work

Characters from "Happy Feet," an animated movie about a tap-dancing penguin, are appearing in an extensive advertising campaign for the drug company Roche, including network and cable commercials, full-page magazine ads and online banner ads.

The commercials advertise Roche's www.flufacts.com Web site, which dispenses advice about the flu, and notes that doctors can prescribe an antiviral medication for prevention and treatment. Roche's own drug Tamiflu is at the top of the list of these medications.

According to Rob Donnell, the president and founder of Brand Arc, the company that helped bring together Roche and film distributor Warner Brothers, this marks the first time that a pharmaceutical company has partnered with the entertainment industry.

CDC Makes Another Health-Harming Pitch For Flu Vaccines

Guess what outrageous new excuse the CDC is using to encourage all Americans to get a flu shot? -

http://www.mercola.com/2006/nov/28/cdc-makes-another-health-harming-pitch-for-flu-vaccines.htm.

Influenza Epidemic and Vitamin D

In early April of 2005, after a particularly rainy spring, an influenza epidemic (epi: upon, demic: people) exploded through the maximum-security hospital for the criminally insane where I have worked for the last ten years. It was not the pandemic (pan: all, demic: people) we all fear, just an epidemic. The world is waiting and governments are preparing for the next pandemic. A severe influenza pandemic will kill many more Americans than died in the World Trade Centers, the Iraq war, the Vietnam War, and Hurricane Katrina combined, perhaps a million people in the USA alone. Such a disaster would tear the fabric of American society. Our entire country might resemble the Superdome or Bourbon Street after Hurricane Katrina.

It's only a question of when a pandemic will come, not if it will come. Influenza A pandemics come every 30 years or so, severe ones every hundred years or so.

Could vitamin D be the reason none of my patients got the flu? In the last several years, dozens of medical studies have called attention to worldwide vitamin D deficiency, especially among African Americans and the elderly, the two groups most likely to die from influenza. Cancer, heart disease, stroke, autoimmune disease, depression, chronic pain, depression, gum disease, diabetes, hypertension, and a number of other diseases have recently been associated with vitamin D deficiency. Was it possible that influenza was as well?: http://www.medicalnewstoday.com/medicalnews.php?newsid=51913.

Medical experts exaggerate the benefits of harmful flu vaccines

A new study contends that the effectiveness of annual flu shots has been exaggerated; they have little or no effect on many influenza campaign objectives, including reducing the number of hospital stays, time off work, and death from influenza and its complications.

Influenza vaccination programs in place are said to reduce the number of cases of flu, in addition to related hospital admissions and deaths. In the United States, authorities recommend flu vaccine for all children 6 months to 5 years old, anyone 50 or older, those with chronic health conditions, and health-care professionals and caregivers.

The effects of flu programs could be exaggerated due to a conflation of influenza with other influenza-like respiratory illnesses in published reports. In addition, much of the data being used to argue the effectiveness of flu vaccines is flawed because flu strains mutate from year to year, making it difficult at best to measure how well vaccines truly work: http://www.mercola.com/2006/nov/16/medical-experts-exaggerate-the-benefits-of-harmful-flu-vaccines.htm.

Concerns surround meningitis vaccine for college students

Many incoming college students must take the meningococcal vaccine or risk not being admitted to their school.

But 41 percent of the vaccine's recipients report headaches, 35 percent report fatigue, and 20 percent report aches and pains in their joints.

In addition, the vaccine does not protect against one-third of the strains of the disease, and does not guarantee immunity against any strains.

Less than 1 in 100,000 contract the meningococcal meningitis disease annually in the United States and 50% of those cases are in infants. Of those who do contract the disease, most recover fully and fatalities are in less than 10% of the case.

Chinese police arrest vaccination protesters

National Vaccine Information Center Newsletter

"Chinese police hauled off a small group of people on Thursday who had arrived in Beijing's Tiananmen Square to protest what they say are bad vaccines which have crippled their children, one of the demonstrators said. They say that their children were vaccinated against Japanese encephalitis B in 2003 in the southern province of Guangdong, and that the vaccine has paralysed their sons and daughters. China's Health Ministry told Reuters last month that they had found no problem with the vaccines." - Reuters, Beijing, Aug. 17, 2006 (link below)

Barbara Loe Fisher Comments:

In what should be a warning to all parents in all nations, a recent report out of China that state police have arrested parents of vaccine injured children protesting toxic vaccines in Tiananmen Square. Government health officials are denying any connection between what happened to the children and the Japanese encephalitis vaccine they were injected with in 2003.

The pattern of cover-up by public health officials around the world of the toxic effects of vaccines and the oppression of the people who are forced to take them is consistent and it is becoming more widespread. The unchecked power that has been handed over to medical doctors in charge of public health programs in every nation has resulted in victimization of the people who have been denied the human right to informed consent to medical risk taking. When vaccines damage children or adults, the victims of vaccine damage are left to fend for themselves and are often victimized twice by medical doctors and government officials who refuse to take responsibility for what has happened.

Protesting parents of vaccine damaged children arrested in Tiananmen Square today are a prophetic warning: tomorrow it could be the parents of vaccine damaged children in London's Trafalgar Square or New York's Washington Square being hauled away by the police for daring to protest the killing and crippling of their children with toxic vaccines. The justification? The parents speaking out are a threat to the "public health."

Influenza shots? No, thank you!

The Flu vaccine is worthless and damaging!
It is impossible to prevent disease by artificial means.
- by Vivian Virginia Vetrano, D.C. hM.D.,M.D.,PH.D. <[email protected]>

The full version of this article will appear in Living Nutrition Magazine vol. 15 - http://www.livingnutrition.com.

Does the influenza virus vaccine really protect us from the flu? Hygienic doctors proclaim “DEFINITELY NOT” Physicians hypothesize: “Yes, Maybe and No! It depends.” Yet they still recommend that persons of selected groups take the newly concocted flu vaccine.

It is impossible to prevent disease by artificial means. You are a living creature and your body will develop disease when the physical, mental and environmental conditions are so unsatisfactory that they force the body to initiate an acute elimination crisis, such as influenza - which, if cared for properly, is not the dreaded disease as pictured by the purveyors of vaccinations. Vaccines add to the toxicity of the body and hence, cause disease. You can't make a healthy person a sick one unless you overwhelm him with poisons. And vaccines are poisons!

Former flu virus vaccines, using “live” viruses, produced too many serious, adverse reactions, so a new one had to be concocted. The latest 2002-2003 formula for flu vaccines is called the “subvirion.” This is a mutilated virus “blended, spliced and macerated” until nothing but bits and pieces of the virus are left. However, splitting the virus makes it no less harmful. The toxic antigens, usually protein or carbohydrate in nature, are still present and are still poisonous. If they were not poisonous they would not cause the body to produce antibodies in self-defense. Medically speaking, this is why they are thought to produce immunity. Physicians are trying to cause a mild disease based on the ancient idea that if you suffer the disease once you won’t get it again. We very well know that flu, colds, pneumonia and other acute diseases can develop in the same individuals multiple times. Although the split virus is purported to be less toxic than former flu vaccines, after scrutinizing and analyzing its components and their chemical attributes, I have serious doubts.

Medical Theory of Vaccination is Flawed
Medical theory holds that increased levels of antibodies against specific antigens by vaccination will prevent the development of a particular disease, such as influenza. On the other hand, Hygienists hold that our susceptibility to disease increases with the number of vaccinations. This includes the dreaded demon disease, cancer.

Vaccines Guarantee Nothing
Please be aware that the vaccinating profession does not proclaim complete immunity for you, but states that it merely "reduces the likelihood of infection; or if you do develop the disease it will be a milder case.” Listen to another confession: “It is known definitely that influenza virus vaccine, as now constituted, is not effective against all possible strains of influenza virus. Any protection afforded is only against those strains of virus from which the vaccine is prepared or against closely related strains.” Our body’s defense mechanisms do better than that! It has natural killer cells that attack all strains of viruses and bacteria.

The 2002-2003 vaccine is not “effective” against any other strain of influenza virus or some that are closely related. You are not protected even if you are vaccinated! So many different viruses and bacteria supposedly cause influenza that it is a wonder people don’t see that there is something wrong here! How can one be artificially immune to any disease when hundreds of different viruses and bacteria “cause” the same disease? How can we even believe that they cause disease in any case, since they are always present in health and disease? Most of the time they are our benefactors–they actually help us rid the body of toxins.

The most frequent “side effect” of vaccination is soreness at the site of the vaccination site for up to two days. Does that sound like something that is good for you? Your body tissues become red, swollen and inflamed because of the toxic vaccine. Other injection site reactions are: pain or tenderness, erythema, inflammation, skin discoloration, induration, a mass or lump; and hypersensitivity reactions including puritus and urticaria. In addition, the following types of systemic problems have occurred after vaccination: Fever, malaise, myalgia, and other systemic symptoms such as arthralgia, asthenia, chills, dizziness, headache, lymphadenopathy, rash, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, pharyngitis, angiopathy and vasculiltis, as well as anaphylactic shock. Many asthmatics have severe reactions from taking flu virus vaccines and anaphylaxis is one of them, sometimes ending in death within one hour.

The human body learns to tolerate poisons if given to them often enough and long enough. But the price is dear, because changes in tissues are taking place that are detrimental to your health, ending up in one or more degenerative diseases. The only way out is to live healthfully so you do not tolerate toxins!

Getting vaccinated builds disease – not immunity! All vaccines are poisons and every new vaccine is a new poison!

British doctor who linked vaccinations with autism charged

(BBC News) The doctor who first suggested a link between the MMR vaccine and autism is to be charged with serious professional misconduct, it is reported.

The Independent newspaper reports that the General Medical Council will accuse Mr. Andrew Wakefield of carrying out "inadequately founded" research: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/health/5070670.stm and http://news.independent.co.uk/uk/health_medical/article799541.ece.

Major professional pediatric group actively involved in blocking bans of vaccines that contain mercury

The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) and the U.S. Public Health Service recommended, in 1999, that thimerosal, a mercury-containing preservative, be removed from U.S. children's vaccines.

However, state chapters of AAP have been actively trying to stop state legislation intended to implement the thimerosal ban, even though almost all vaccines can be made in a thimerosal-free or reduced-thimerosal variety: http://www.aapsonline.org/nod/newsofday300.php.

The sudden death of a 26-year-old US soldier last year may have been caused by a smallpox vaccination

(AFP) - The sudden death of a 26-year-old US soldier last year may have been caused by a smallpox vaccination, the Defense Department has said.

Private First Class Christopher Abston died suddenly in his barracks at Fort Bragg, North Carolina on November 16, 2005, days after receiving smallpox and injectable flu vaccines. An autopy showed that Abston had myocarditis, an inflamation of the heart muscle known to be caused by the smallpox vaccine he received.

A panel of military physicians concluded that a cause and effect was "possible" between the vaccinations and Abston's death, the Defense Department said in a statement: http://news.yahoo.com/s/afp/20060623/hl_afp/usmilitaryhealth_060623165444.
