I've always said they were unnecessary and possibly lethal. Reports from the field are proving me right, too. Last April, just 2 months or so into the Debacle in the Desert, a 22-year-old Army reservist medic who was elevated to active duty died as a result of complications from her vaccinations, a panel of medical experts finally concluded last fall. And this once promising, but now deceased young medic isn't the only U.S soldier who is thought to have been put at risk from the most recent round of forced inoculations, either. In response to this kind of senseless tragedy, some will say, " That's the price of freedom, " or " Soldiers face risks. " Of course, they're correct, from a certain point of view. But if such vaccination risks are part and parcel of the serviceman's (or woman's) lot in life, they should at least be limited to the individual soldier himself (or herself). Such is not the case with these vaccinations, apparently... According to a recent BBC news report, one U.S. soldier's wife was infected by a strain of the vaccinia virus (which is used to spur the body into developing antibodies against smallpox) simply by sleeping with her husband after he was vaccinated for smallpox. What's worse, the couple's months- old infant also contracted the virus in the course of breast- feeding. That's right - one needle-jab, THREE infections with adverse reactions. Since the Iraq-war vaccinations started, there have been 18 documented cases of accidental second-hand transmission of the smallpox-related vaccinia virus to people in close contact to our servicemen and women. How many more innocent " bystanders " will have to be infected before we axe this unconstitutional practice? Will it take the death of some innocent baby before the courts are stirred to action? And speaking of children harmed by poisons their parents inadvertently ingest... ************************************************************** To start receiving your own copy of the Daily Dose, visit: http://www.realhealthnews.com/dailydose/freecopy.html Or forward this e-mail to a friend so they can sign-up to receive their own copy of the Daily Dose. ************************************************************** Mercury rising I've written many times about the benefits of eating fish - especially cold-water varieties like salmon, trout, and cod. Among other vital nutrients, they're high in the Omega-3 fatty acids your heart needs to stay healthy and beating strong. But mass-produced " farmed " varieties of these healthy fishes often have higher-than-safe levels of mercury, lead, and other heavy metals accumulated in their tissues. And when people eat these foods, those toxins can find homes in their systems - or the bodies of their unborn children. A Harvard School of Public Health affiliated study showed that children whose mothers ate fish and other seafood high in mercury while pregnant can suffer irreparable brain damage in the womb. This heavy-metal contamination also affected the children's heart function. Within a week of this study's publication in the Journal of Pediatrics, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency released a report that more than doubles previous estimates of the number of U.S. infants with unsafe levels of mercury in their blood. Actions to take: Fish and fish oils are good for you - but only if you're not ingesting a lot of mercury and other heavy metals along with them. It's important (and I've said this before, too) that you obtain these foods from a certified NATURAL source, not from a " fish-farm. " So ask your grocery store or fish market for more details before you buy those filets.
