Guest guest Posted March 19, 2008 Report Share Posted March 19, 2008 There was that autistic child a few weeks ago, who started to " go downhill " after a flu shot. Mr Al Stone already mentioned that the shot may have induced latent heat in the blood (pathogens hiding in the deep) and that can be the background of the mental problem. In the Maciocia book I've found a section about immunizations (Foundations, p.351) which quite surprised me, because I had the impression that vaccination is a smart and perfect way to prevent a disease. Macioca says the main problem of immunization is that the pathogen, instead of going through the four levels (defensive-qi, qi, nutritive- qi, Blood) is injected directly at the fourth level. This may cause latent heat to develop. Maciocia says, if it does develop, it may have serious long-term effects, like brain damage, autism, asthma, cronic cough, allergies, skin diseases. Well, that was new to me, and also frightening. I don't really know what to think about vaccines. Tamas Kenez Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Ironically, smallpox vaccinations are believed to have begun in China.) What I would like to point out is one of the criticisms of Giovanni Maciocia's works that applies to what you've presented above. This is a good example of a " Maciociaism " or something unique to his writings not necessarily supported by professional TCM as practiced in modern China. The idea that a vaccine is shot into the arm, or hip and thus directly into the blood stream would therefore put the vaccination into the blood level of the four levels is nothing more than theory. It may be 100% correct, I'm not so much criticizing the value of his idea, only his presentation of this idea as fact. I have never seen or heard anything out of China that suggests this " vaccinations go to the blood level " theory before. Thus, it should be read as a theory, an idea presented by Maciocia, not as gospel truth. Maciocia should present his ideas as sidebars to an otherwise successful teaching text, not in the body of the textbook where students might believe that this is widespread theory accepted by TCM rank and file. -- , DAOM Pain is inevitable, suffering is optional.

Guest guest Posted March 19, 2008 Report Share Posted March 19, 2008 Hey Al, I totally agree with you, with one addition: what makes me mad is that he has the resources to at least begin to demonstrate the validity of his theory. All he has to do is to begin demonstrating how vaccinations can lead to development of signs and symptoms that pertain to 4-phase theory. Maybe he does this in the new book to some extent. Therefore I would also be interested to know exactly what he writes. Hugo Al Stone <al The idea that a vaccine is shot into the arm, or hip and thus directly into the blood stream would therefore put the vaccination into the blood level of the four levels is nothing more than theory.

Guest guest Posted March 19, 2008 Report Share Posted March 19, 2008 Yeah, in my (first) edition, it reads: " It is also important to ask about vaccinations as, in some cases, these may cause problems. " Its hard to complain about that statement as it really doesn't say much, but does leave the door open to further inquiry regarding situations such as the autistic child mentioned on this list last month. -al.

Guest guest Posted March 19, 2008 Report Share Posted March 19, 2008 In order to reject innoculations (I don't call them immunizations), in my view one doesn't have to prove a dramatic negative effect. You just have to have a world view (okay, I don't know what else to call it; I don't mean to sound pompous)which says that sickness does not fall out of the heavens onto our poor little innocent heads for no reason. There is purpose in the universe and sickness, esp. the socalled infectious kind, show up in order to fix up something happening deep inside that you can't necessarily see. But I guess you all know that. So, I can't imagine why anyone would support the basic idea behind innoculations, namely, that it's a nasty world but, hey, Medical Science will allow us to eat & drink & behave any way we want yet merely receiving approximately 68 needles (filled with ghastly substances) into our arms over our first 18 years will protect us from the universe's purported satanic intent. There have been societies in every corner of this planet, over millenia, who had no needles in their arms, but whose members lived long and useful lives. The weak ones died of infectious diseases, thereby keeping the gene pool clean & strong. Now we don't have these killer diseases, but we have - well, go to any hospital for a tour and have a look. > > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 19, 2008 Report Share Posted March 19, 2008 It is important to ask about immunizations as is, in some cases, these may cause problems. A full discussion of immunizations is beyond the scope of this book. To understand the effect of immunizations from a Chinese perspective it is necessary to refer to the theory of the Four Levels (see ch45). When a pathogenic factor invades the body, it enters the Defensive-Qi level first and, if not expelled, it progresses through the Qi, Nutritive-Qi and Blood levels. The Four Levels represent four different energetic layers of penetration of Heat, the Defensive-Qi being the most superficial and the Blood level the deepest. In short term, Latent Heat may cause a skin rash, insomnia and a temporary change in the child's character. The long-term effects of immunizations are more difficult to establish and the subject of great controversy. However, if immunizations lead to Latent heat at the Blood level, it is quite possible that they may have serious-long term effects. These include brain damage, possibly autism, asthma, chronic cough allergies and skin diseases later in life. Children's symptoms are summarized in Box 24.41 This is all in table format, but you should get the just of it Immunizations are a common cause of Latent Heat in children, which may persist into adulthood. Digestive symptoms Abdominal pain: retentions of Cold in the Stomach and Intestines, stagnation Qi in the Intestines. Vomiting of milk and colic in babies: retention of food (Accumulation Disorder) Respiratory symptoms and earache Cough, wheezing, breathlessness or earache: invasions of Wind Chronic cough/wheezing and frequent respiratory infections: residual pathogenic factor (usually Lung Phlegm-Heat) following invasions of external Wind Chronic earache: residual pathogenic factor, usually Damp-Heat in the Gall Bladder Channel Chronic Catarrh, with consistanly runny/blocked nose, cough, glue ear: residual pathogenic factor after Wind invasions with a Slpeen deficiency and Phlegm Sleep Disturbed sleep with loud crying in babies: retention of Food and Stomach-Heat Relatively quiet crying: possibly prenatal shock Disturbed sleep in older children: usually Liver-Fire, Stomach-Heat, retention of food. Immunizations Skin rash and a temporary change in the character: Latent Heat there ya go Al =) Hopefully that helps " However, if immunizations lead to Latent heat at the Blood level, it is quite possible that they may have serious-long term effects. These include brain damage, possibly autism, asthma, chronic cough allergies and skin diseases later in life. " To me when he says " however, if " that's saying something isn't really known to be true, but if it does indeed cause Latent Heat in the Blood it could really have some consequences. So it may be good to rule that in or out in each case. I agree though, he could make it more clear when he is stating something that he suspects or has learned from experience. > My version of Foundations doesn't mention vaccinations on page 351 nor > in the index.

Guest guest Posted March 20, 2008 Report Share Posted March 20, 2008 There has been some great feedback on this topic and wanted to offer mine also. (See the sites below and try to continue to educate yourself.) Compare incidence rates of " common " childhood diseases in your state/metropolitan area and then the chances of children developing autism. Vaccinations are not causal of autism according to the experts but no one with integrity argues that there is not an associative connection. We didn't vaccinate and our experience has been interesting with the pressure by pediatric doctors and others bordering on harassment. Know the facts not the scare tactics on the allopathic side or the sometimes unsubstantiated materials on the " holistic " side. Lots of question marks here. Keep an open mind and find courage to ask the hard questions. Stay in touch with your heart and own intuition. I spoke to a doctor in Amish country that has seen the bright side of not vaccinating through an allopathic lens. My personal feeling is that if you choose to vaccinate you should do so with a radically altered schedule than what is recommended by the medical establishment. (There is at least one seriously bizarre recommendation!) See below.... http://www.mothering.com/articles/growing_child/vaccines/wake.html http://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/preview/mmwrhtml/mm5254a1.htm#Part%http://www.health.sta\ te.ny.us/statistics/chac/ http://www.health.state.ny.us/nysdoh/epi/93/measles.pdf http://www.health.state.ny.us/nysdoh/epi/93/mumps.pdf http://www.vaccineinfo.net/immunization/injury/autism/DanishMMRAutismStudy.shtml http://www.health.state.ny.us/publications/2370.pdf http://www.whale.to/a/yaz12.html http://www.909shot.com/Diseases/pneumoccoal.htm http://wonder.cdc.gov/wonder/prevguid/m0053391/m0053391.asp This list only begins the long process of the research I did to try and find some truth here. Try also to remember that typical presentation for the childhood diseases we're talking about is scary but mild. Generally drives educated parents who choose to vaccinate the incredible fear of actually having a child who becomes seriously of even dies of one of these diseases. It's very rare but does happen. I often thought, " What if I'm wrong? " Hell of a thought to sleep with and basically will come down to your own comfort level as either a parent or clinician.

Guest guest Posted March 20, 2008 Report Share Posted March 20, 2008 Unfortunately, when it comes to medical matters today, politics and profits do need to be considered. Here's an interesting article with some very disturbing insights: Deadly Immunity Robert F. Kennedy Jr. investigates the government cover-up of a mercury/autism scandal ROBERT F. KENNEDY JR. http://www.rollingstone.com/politics/story/7395411/deadly_immunity/ Decisions like these are made more often than the general public realizes. And not just about the possible links between autism and vaccinations or between ADHD (Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder) and vaccinations. The company that made the mercury preservative knew as early as the 1930s that there were serious problems with it, but went right on making, using, and selling the perservative. It was a big money maker. If they or others had tried harder (or been made to try harder), I have no doubt they could have found something safer. Now fastforward to the early 2000s in the US and the misnamed Homeland Security Act. The original HSA was only 16 pages and made sense. It swelled to hundreds of pages with the addition of various pork. Part of that pork was a provision protecting thimerosal's manufacturer from lawsuits for ***PAST*** wrong-doings. How much incentive is there for a company to stop practices that are dangerous if they know they can get their paid-for politicians and bureaucrats to simply grant them immunity? Another part of the HSA also provides for the forced vaccinations of every man, woman, and child in the US with no exceptions for health problems, religion, or choice. Actually the way the law is written it does provide some " choice " . The " choice " between either taking the vaccinations or being confined. Laws like these are a wet dream come true for various industries. (They're not just confined to the pharmaceutical industry.) Government ordering citizens - under threat of confinement or some other punishment - to buy an industry's product, and also ordering the tax payers, insurance companies, and citizens to pay. And they always claim that laws like these are for people's and society's own good. Even when there is ample evidence they're not. Under the HSA provisions, one person gets to order mandatory vaccinations. I believe that it's the director of Homeland Security. One person is a lot easier and cheaper to buy than several. Especially when it comes to a majority of congress. (Follow the money and see how much the pharmaceutical industry is contributing to various politicians. And some people wonder why prescription drugs cost more in the U.S. than in other countries?!?!) It's not just the obvious problems of injecting mercury into people (especially children). There are concerns about the number of vaccinations given. When I was a kid, there were relatively few vaccinations given. Over the decades the things vaccinated against has steadily risen. There are concerns that the sheer number of different things vaccinated against can trigger a shift in the immune system. Pete raised something that needs to be considered: A cost: benefit or risks: benefit analysis. When I use the word " cost " I'm not just restricting it to money but also including pain, suffering, and death. With some of these vaccinations, the risks of the vaccine far outweigh the risk of contacting the illness. A good example being giving a baby or child the hepatitis-B vaccine. It is highly unlikely that a baby or a child is going to contact hepatitis-B. There are a few exceptions like a child having to receive blood transfusions. But how many babies and children have to have blood transfusions? (Don't believe it when the pharmaceutical industry tells you that it's not making money off of vaccines. They are, just not the obscene amounts they make off the drugs. However, certain companies stand to make a lot more from vaccines thanks to the HSA.) This discussion wouldn't be complete without a consideration of history. Vaccines have been lifesavers. The most obvious example being the smallpox vaccine. I'm in my 50s so I remember some things that most people on here are unaware of. I remember seeing older kids in braces, their limbs shriveled from polio. But shriveled limbs are only a small part of the horror that was polio. If it attacked the muscles around the rib cage the person smothered to death. The only chance of survival was the person being place flat on his back for months or longer in an " iron lung " . Provided one could be found. The iron lung completely encased the person from the neck down. If you've ever seen a picture of someone in an iron lung you understand exactly what a good thing the Salk polio vaccine was. In the early days of vaccinations they were reserved only for very serious, life-threatening illnesses for which adequate treatment did not exist. I'm amazed at the conditions children are vaccinated against today as well as what vaccines are being sought against. Like measles (not German measles) and mumps. Yes, both measles and mumps can result in some very severe and even life-threatening manifestations in a small number of patients. Especially when one does not get the proper rest and follow guidelines like keeping one's eyes shielded from light while meascles runs it course. And yes, I can see the possible need of a vaccine against German measles which can result in deformities to unborn babies if a pregnanat woman catches German measles. But I have a hard time seeing vaccinations and their risks for other forms of measles and for mumps. Unfortunately, politics and the profit motive also raise their ugly heads in regard to what version of a vaccination is chosen. A case in point being the Sabin polio vaccine that replaced the Salk polio vaccine. The Sabin vaccine is made with live though weakened virus. A problem is that people who receive this vaccination shed the live virus through their saliva, urine, and feces, and can and have infected people who have not been vaccinated. (I got this info from a PBS program on the Salk and Sabin vaccines. It's been so many years I don't remember the title. Sorry.) Something else that interested readers may want to look up are the symptoms of mercury poisoning. Many on here no doubt are familiar with the expression " mad as a hatter " and the character The Mad Hatter in the book Alice In Wonderland. Mercury poisoning was an occupational hazard for people who made hats out of pelts because mercury was used in the process. There are charts on the Internet that list compare the symptoms of mercury poisoning to those of autism. Victoria Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

An online article I read years ago at a Swedish website mentioned that the immune system is mobilised when it detects a virus, usually through the respiratory system. There were I think, about 4 phases of immune system respones (it may have been more or less) which are called into play to keep the virus from entering the blood stream. So it always seemed to me the very wrong thing to do to `immunize' a person is to inject the virus directly into the blood stream. The virus, whether dead or live, doesn't enter the body the same way that exposure does, and so may either fail to protect or overstimulate the immune system. sue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
