Guest guest Posted April 23, 2009 Report Share Posted April 23, 2009 Alon, I think that you are making a gross generalization, as do those who claim that all autoimmune diseases and diseases of civilization result from or have a relationship to vaccinations. It is a cost to benefit analysis that each parent needs to make in determining whether they want to take the risk of exposing their children to the toxins and potential trauma related to vaccinations. It is completely innapropriate to expose a small baby whose immune function is just beginning to develop to the very harsh constituents of vaccines. Once a child hits 5 years old, and is healthy, then the decision do vaccinate becomes an easier one. But the witchhunt that Western biomedical physicians, along with their stooges in government and the school systems have carried on against parents choosing not to vaccinate is criminal, as far as I am concerned. The studies showing that vaccines are not related to auto-immune function are flowed and no more valid than saying that a particular herb or acupuncture point works or doesn't work to treat headaches or gout. For a study to be valid, ALL of the subjects need to have the same differential diagnosis, similar constitutions and preferably also be within the same age group. It isn't enough to have the studies just placebo controlled and double blind. Personally, neither my baby who is now 25 nor my grandson who will be 1 next month have been vaccinated. My choice, again, was based upon a cost to benefit ratio, and my intuition. Just the thought of injecting putrid proteins preserved with mercury into the vascular system makes me cringe. Again, as I have stated on more than one occasion. Pasteur, at the end of his life acknowledged that Bechamp was right: that it is the terrain and not the microbe which makes one sick. That's my conclusion. I certainly don't have an agenda but encourage parents to make decisions in an unbiased and informed way, as much as possible.

Guest guest Posted April 23, 2009 Report Share Posted April 23, 2009 The Chinese were variolation vaccinating many moons ago, they threw out the process because it didn't work! however, they may have introduced the genetic mutations at that point. I do not find you a legitimate source when you say.........why has diabetes been available before vaccines? What is your source? Who do you know that had a auto immune disease prior to small pox vaccination......which by the way was actually cow syphyllis they were injecting?

By the way, does anyone know how useful dandelion (pollen) and black ant formula is. I think it is supposed to tonify kid ess, and help secure the lower gate. I don't think ants are an endangered species yet. Thanks. --- On Thu, 4/23/09, Hugo Ramiro <subincor wrote: Hugo Ramiro <subincor Re: Re: sweet potatoes balance glycemic index for diabetics?

" Sincerely, Patricia Jordan DVM,CVA,CTCVM & Herbology -- Hi Patricia, Thanks for the clarity on this. Is it your guidance then that all autoimmune responses arise from vaccination? Are we assuming that autoimmune responses such as diabetes mellitus type I and type II have never existed before the introduction of vaccinations? When blood can not be expanded by water and electrolytes, and people introduce I.V. plasma or isotonic solutions to maintain blood volume, would you sense that this might also be a manner of introducing an immunoglobulin-E or possibly some anaphylactic metabolites such as leukotrienes or complement proteins like C3a and C5a? I love the study of immunology, anaphylaxis, and the paradigms of endogenous recovery from imbalance. Thanks. I've noticed that pediatricians tend to wait, like Yehuda, to some point past 2 years of age to immunize their own children. They also don't let their children blow their noses until the age of five due to the possible reflux of nasal mucous in a retrograde direction up the Eustachian tube to the middle ear in a manner that might cause otitis media.
