Guest guest Posted April 25, 2009 Report Share Posted April 25, 2009 Mike, I read this article: http://www.progressiveconvergence.com/An%20Assessment%20of%20the%20Impact%20of%2\ 0Thimerosal%20on%20Childhood%20Neurodevelopmental%20Disorders.pdf It made me think of the compounded methylmercury intravenously shot into babies when thiomersal was still in vaccines... but for the most part that wouldn't be a large consideration today, since...

Guest guest Posted April 25, 2009 Report Share Posted April 25, 2009 John, We seem to have a belief that if they tell us that it is not in there anymore, then it must be true. I wish that was the case as there would be a lot fewer damaged children. First, long after the vaccine manufacturers told us they stopped using mercury in their vaccines, it was still on the vaccine labels, so we must assume it was in there. Second, when I attended Dr. Geier's lecture, he mentioned that he had many such vaccines tested for contents and found that even without the mention of mercury on their label, as mandated by the FDA, mercury was still present. The truth in labeling law violation should have us all mad. Third, a number of the vaccines you mention, still are used on children and still have mercury. Fourth, no amount of mercury has been found to be safe according to OSHA. It is a neurotoxin of the highest order and this point should be stressed with all parents of small children. The immune system is not just about reactions to microbes and chemicals but also must be created and thus it needs nourishment to produce. I see a lot of people with immunity issues and use Kiiko Matsumoto's treatment ideas (or rather her teacher Nagano)to help them. I found it necessary to not underestimate the influence of the immune system and yes it can be treated with acupuncture and moxibustion. Michael W.

I am aware of both sides of the argument and while i do believe there are some unanswered questions, and if i had my way i would have waited with my kids until they were older, but you know Ruti, i dont buy many of the associations that many think are clear.

Guest guest Posted April 25, 2009 Report Share Posted April 25, 2009 Alon, I read the literature that was given to us by both pediatricians, plus as much as possible from the CDC. I agree that vaccinating later (after 2 yrs of age), less frequently and in isolation (not compounding vaccines) are a smarter choice. I don't think there's a conspiracy to numb the population, but there may be a conspiracy in covering up the negative reactions to certain vaccinations. Of course, there's 2 sides to every coin and argument. Some vaccinations, like polio and small pox, has done much more good than harm. Others like varicella, mumps, measles and rubella are less clear-cut in their benefit to risk ratio.

Guest guest Posted April 25, 2009 Report Share Posted April 25, 2009 Hi John, I think you've hit the nail on the head with the following: --John- I don't think there's a conspiracy to numb the population, but there may be a conspiracy in covering up the negative reactions to certain vaccinations. Of course, there's 2 sides to every coin and argument. Some vaccinations, like polio and small pox, has done much more good than harm. Others like varicella, mumps, measles and rubella are less clear-cut in their benefit to risk ratio. --- Clearly vaccination works, but like any therapy it has its limits: and those limits are not being recognised. This is not even getting into preservatives etc of course.

Guest guest Posted April 25, 2009 Report Share Posted April 25, 2009 Yes, testosterone (hormone) makes the mercury 200% more toxic that as toxic as it can me.Estrogen (hormone) seems to be a bit protective against mercury toxicity but what happens to the females is that autoimmune disease rates are higher for them and they exhibit them later. The hormones clearly play a part in the psychoneuroendocrinimmuno system.

Alon, The CDC has a few vaccination schedules up... you can count the number of vaccination shots and this isn't even all of them... there's also smallpox, anthrax, Lyme Disease, typhoid, rabies, Japanese encephalitis, shingles and yellow fever just in case you want to collect them all. http://www.cdc.gov/vaccines/vpd-vac/vaccines-list.htm Dont' believe me.... Here's a CDC recommended schedule: http://www.cdc.gov/vaccines/recs/schedules/downloads/child/2009/09_0-6yrs_schedu\ le_pr.pdf We did about six months of research before Bhakti was born, but still, more research needs to be done. As far as adverse reactions to vaccines, please read Randall Neustaedter's book, " the Vaccine Guide " , which has in-depth discussions of vaccine reactions for the following vaccines and 38 pages of medical journal references: pgs 297-335 Varicella pgs 152-154 Diphtheria pg. 158 Hep A pgs 165-166 Hep B pgs 173-178 Lyme dz pgs 182-184 Hib Meningitis pgs 191-193 Meningococcal pgs 196 Pneumococcal pg 199 Mumps pgs 213-215 Rubella pgs 218-221 Pertussis pgs 226-233 (longest evidence of reactions) Polio 240-243 Smallpox 251-253 Tetanus 258-260 (generally safe) If you really want to read these, I can let you borrow the book. Otherwise, I don't believe in the mercury argument for all of the problems and I don't tell any parent to vaccinate or not vaccinate, but to become more educated about it all. Not vaccinating Bhakti was a personal decision and we're sticking by it. Tetanus vaccination seems safe in most regards and we will vaccinate for travel and for Hep in a few years. The other diseases can be treated with acupuncture, herbs and a week of rest.

Guest guest Posted April 25, 2009 Report Share Posted April 25, 2009 Also the part that koprowski plays in the fruad of science and the beLIEf that vaccines are effective. Koprowski was the Director of Wistar for 35 years and was resonsible for the very detrimonious vaccine research, truth be known, Wistar was the forefront of this nations vaccine research and is now a NATIONAL CANCER CENTER........if you understand the REAL TRUTH, most of the integrity of that scam of his polio vaccine and the work done on vaccnating the areas in Africa that first broke with HIV with CHAT Wistar vaccines (polio contaminated with HIV), look into the work Koprowski has done in genetic engineering of rabies with cowpox and then without the consent of the Argentice Government had people drink milk from cows innoculated with his frankenstine vaccine.Koprowski is still being heralded despite his " termination " from Wistar following his escapades upon which he felt he had sovernity to experiment as he wished, look into the works of him and Schnell at Jefferson university where they have accomploished weaponizing the rabies virus.Koprowski was involved with Gallo and the very well footnoted and referenced of Ed hooper in the RIver is more accurate then you could ever expect vested interest to be.I know now enough history of the CDC from their very own pages of historical review to never trust anything coming from them all you have to do is FOLLOW THE MONEY, 30 pieces of silver and Dr. Paul Offit's agenda becomes clear.

That's in EMERGING VIRUSES by Len Horowitz. He says that HIV was developed as a " soft kill " biological agent that would reduce populations slowly.

Well the HPV vaccine will not work and it will most likely result in fertility issues. you can not inject a vaccine and develop cell mediated immunity which is what you need for the HPV. But it deosn't stop pharmaceutical companies for putting out bad science and bad vaccines, the animals have a injectible herpes vaccine and it won't work, we have one that will that is drops to be applied to the mucous membranes of the cats eyes or nasal tissue, what happens if you inject herpes you actually REACTIVATE latent herpes, no benefit at all comes from not understanding the disease and the immune system. Gardasil has killed 28 so far and delivered many with Gullian Barre so get in line, perhaps you can be one less..... HIV, Africa, you need to be brought into the circle of truth, HIV was an answer to the grants that paid for the development of a synthetic biological weapon that would destroy the human immune system. First place it was laced into polio vaccines delivered to areas of Africa were the first cases of HIV were found.......there are no coincidences in science.Read The River by Ed Hooper, 12 monkeys and the origin of Aids, Dro horowitz information adn the Special cancer project which when Congress wanted to know what was going on....had to go OUTSIDE our country for the copies of the records.We have been FOREVER experimenting on the third world countries, that is why we don't hear alot about the adverse effects of vaccines following administration and the New England journal of medicine just covered this problem, and the students of Harvard have just demanded a divorce of their instutuion from the pahrmacuetical industry, there is a reason. recently, they were so happy to announce they were finally able to get AIDS to infect a monkey.....do they think we are crazy? That was the smokescreen for where HIV came from in the first place OOOPPSSS again.Recently Dr. Gallo who was paid by our defense dept to find a synthetic biological agent to corrupt the human immune system, and credited with being the " discoverer of HIV " was panned by a group of scientists whol want retraction for Gallos work on HIV as they too know the real story of the origin of AIDS. Even gallo was spanked by the NIH and priviledges taken away from him with working on human subjects following the debacle with his vaccines he sent to Africa.Yes, the truthneeds to come out and go ahead get in line for the " bird Flu shot " Sincerely, Patricia Jordan DVM,CVA,CTCVM & Herbology Chinese Medicine angelapfa Fri, 24 Apr 2009 10:34:51 -0700 Re: Vaccination - Whom can we trust? I think the problem with the discussion is that it is a bit too random. Right after world war 2 there was a polio epidemic in Germany and I went to school with many crippled children who are probably today suffering from post polio symptom, I was immunized, and I am grateful that I was. Are we overdoing it a bit now with the vaccicines, maybe yes. It all depends. If there was a Hep B vaccine available, I think I would get it, if I had a daughter I would vaccine her against HPV. Sometimes vaccines offer protection, just think how many millions of people in Africa could be saved if we had a HIV vaccine. I think we need to think about this issue in a more differentiated way. It seems some people on this listserv have a soapbox they want to stand on, and that can get tiring for others.

As the ListMaster (is that like being the key master?) I whole heartedly approve the prolonged conversation on this, as it is relevant to us as practitioners, and as a parent of 2 ( & IY'H a third on the way) children who have not been vaccinated I find this discussion by my peers quite useful and fascinating. As practitioners we need to be able to provide our patients with all of the information possible when they are trying to make a decision about something like not vaccinating, and this discussion has already identified a number of good resources for this.

Similarly, many other childhood illnesses were on a decline prior to vaccines as well. So how do we consider this data? I hear little discourse on the historical data and maybe we need to look at this stuff a bit further before we pat them on the backs for vaccinations. Just a thought. Michael W. Bowser, LAc Chinese Medicine subincor Sat, 25 Apr 2009 16:43:17 +0000 Re: Re: Vaccination - Whom can we trust? Hi John, I think you've hit the nail on the head with the following: --John- I don't think there's a conspiracy to numb the population, but there may be a conspiracy in covering up the negative reactions to certain vaccinations. Of course, there's 2 sides to every coin and argument. Some vaccinations, like polio and small pox, has done much more good than harm. Others like varicella, mumps, measles and rubella are less clear-cut in their benefit to risk ratio. --- Clearly vaccination works, but like any therapy it has its limits: and those limits are not being recognised. This is not even getting into preservatives etc of course.

Guest guest Posted April 25, 2009 Report Share Posted April 25, 2009 Alon, It is and maybe that is why they continue to fight so hard and even legislate no lawsuits against them for adverse reactions. There was some recent language on this that was included in the so-called " Patriot Bill " that prevents us from seeking any legal retribution and they can even force us to have vaccinations.

Guest guest Posted April 25, 2009 Report Share Posted April 25, 2009 Alon, We are assuming that no more mercury-laden vaccines were used yet they have and do continue to be used in the marketplace. I mentioned that some vaccines still had mercury on their label much later then they claimed and also they were allowed to continue to use up their stockpiles of these vaccines as they saw fit.

Guest guest Posted April 25, 2009 Report Share Posted April 25, 2009 Hello to all of you, I am new to this group and was excited to join in time to read all of the responses pertaining to this topic. I just have a small thing to say. I have two children, 11 and 14 whom have never been vaccinated. My youngest has epilepsy and brain damage from hypoglycemia shortly after he was born. We were given a vaccine handbook when we were in the hospital with our son and it clearly stated that children with CNS disorders were contraindicated for vaccines. That didn't stop the doctors however from continually demanding that we vaccinate our children. I have read a lot about vaccines both pros and cons and expected such arguments from such a controversial subject. What I have difficulty with is the fear factor that our doctors tried to instill in us. There was no urging of us to educate ourselves of our choice but a feeling that this was mandatory. This is what I feel is very wrong. We are in a different era than when the vaccines were first produced, mainly to put an end to epidemics brought about by poor sanitation and ignorance. What I instill in my patients is that they have a choice. And that we have the power to seek alternative means if we choose not to vaccinate. My hats off to all of you who continue to seek the truth and to empower our patients with it.

Guest guest Posted April 26, 2009 Report Share Posted April 26, 2009 Hi Mike: --Mike B- Curious as to what you might consider effective for small pox, when it apparently was on its way out prior to any serious vaccine scheduling. Similarly, many other childhood illnesses were on a decline prior to vaccines as well. So how do we consider this data? I hear little discourse on the historical data and maybe we need to look at this stuff a bit further before we pat them on the backs for vaccinations. Just a thought. --- Woah, who's patting who on the back? Reinterpreting data that has already been interpreted and entered into the doctrine is difficult, and I can understand why some emotions are running high. I am not interested in wholesale rejections of anything, honestly. I believe in the genius of human beings and I've found that there's at least a grain of truth in everything and anything. I'm not sure there's anything that's entirely garbage. We'd have to go into some fairly involved buddhist doctrine which I am not sure I really grasp in order for me to be able to discuss this further, so: I work off two data points here, the first being a recent article in CMAJ where the conclusion was: " Pneumococcal vaccination does not appear to be effective in preventing pneumonia, even in populations for whom the vaccine is currently recommended. " Efficacy of pneumococcal vaccination in adults: a meta-analysis CMAJ 2009;180(1):48-58 The other is Cuba. Being an island with the ability to carry out massive vaccination gives it some special significance...I think. One study in 1999 compared pre and post vaccination invasive meningococcal disease in young children. The results in a very short time span (pre=1984-88, post=1989-94) were large. Unless the analysis is totally wrong, I cannot see how that happened except that the vaccination campaign was effective. (Impact of Antimeningococcal B vaccination in Cuba, Mem Inst Oswaldo Cruz, Rio de Janeiro, Vol. 94, 1999) A second more recent observational study (2005) concluded that meningitis cases in Cuba were on the decline after massive immunisation campaigns since the late 80s and early 90s. There was an earlier " massive campaign " in 1979 that did not have any real effects. (Bacterial meningitis in children and adolescents: an observational study based on the national surveillance system, BMC, Infectious Diseases, 2005, 5:103) I think both sides raise good questions and issues, and I personally would like to avoid throwing babies out with bath water. Apart from plain stupid things like using mercury as a preservative and so on, I believe we might keep in mind that the vaccination debacle may be more about the complexity of health and disease meeting an obsessively linear intervention. Vaccination likely has it uses, and yet, like much of modern medicine, is used in a brute, short-sighted, and one-dimensional manner.. I know, Mike, that you are questioning whether polio vaccination has done anything, but what accounts for a nearly 60% decline of polio cases in China in 2 years (1989-1991)? I am sure that the polio vaccine has behaved differently in different parts of the world, and I find it entirely believable that certain areas of the world were experiencing a decline in polio cases before vaccination started. After all, it is basic CM that there are many things that make a human being susceptible to the penetration of a microbe to deep levels, such as stress, climactic environs, adequate food, age and so on. Sheltering, feeding and nurturing peope is likely to decrease the incidence and mortality of any disease. Vaccination may be helpful in decreasing incidence and mortality in some situations where adequate food and shelter are not easily available, for instance. Thoughts? I'd like to finish off by saying that I am not a representative of the western medical-industrial complex counterculture. I am a junior representative of a lineage CM tradition.

Guest guest Posted April 26, 2009 Report Share Posted April 26, 2009 Mike, I didn't know that some vaccine companies were getting away with having unlabeled mercury in the vaccines. I wonder if they are tested by batch? and by whom? Is this an isolated case or wide-spread?

Guest guest Posted April 26, 2009 Report Share Posted April 26, 2009 I have been educating myself about vaccination ever since my daughter was born 1.5 years ago. Prior to my own research, I pretty much approved of the status quo... I had never heard of or come across anything that would question my belief in the importance or validity of vaccinations. However, I will say that after delving a little into this issue, I was shocked at some of the stuff I found out. I have decided to delay vaccination for my daughter until two years old, and then, only to selectively vaccinate her. Here is just a brief synopsis of the stuff that I found out: 1) Most of the info that we have about vaccine effectiveness comes from study of the population already having recieved it. In other words, only the newest vaccines have undergone clinical, double blind, controlled trials. In effect, our grandparents and parents were 'guinea pigs' so to speak for whether the vaccines were effective. 2) Vaccination stimulates the immune system in a very different way than natural infection. Some recent research has been done on the response of T cells post vaccination, and found that one type of T cell was affected, versus in natural infection where all types tended to respond. 3)There have been instances of vaccine induced injury as a direct result of vaccination. For more info about this, look to the recent Hannah Poling Case, or another simply horrific case in Australia (google Dr Kalokerinos). I personally, have never had a health professional of any kind inform me of the possible risks of vaccines prior to getting vaccinated, and I strongly believe that there is a concensus among the medical community that any info that presents vaccines in a negative light might reduce the vaccination rates. Every year, injuries due to vaccination are reported to a government agency http://vaers.hhp.org 4) Rates of disease are higher in poor countries with less sanitation and less access to good nutrition, regardless of vaccination rates. Rates of disease had already begun to decline BEFORE the introduction of vaccines in western and industrialized countries in the last century due to better sanitation, nutrition, and health care advaces. In conclusion, I want to say that although I am not specifically 'ANTI' vaccine, I do believe that there is cause for some concern, have experienced being treated like a villain by my first pediatrician simply for questioning the practice, as well as having my posts denied on a parenting listserve because of my personal beliefs. I believe that the most important thing should be continual improvement in our health care system, preventing injury to susceptible individuals, and and having transparency with regards to risks, and the organizations profitting from these drugs.

Guest guest Posted April 26, 2009 Report Share Posted April 26, 2009 Yes.. the main thing is that we need to get educated about our options. That's why educated people statistically vaccinate less than those who are uneducated about the benefit vs risks ratio. Do pediatricians have a financial agenda as well as a medical one for you to vaccinate? One of my favorite TV shows was canned... Eli Stone (the one with the acupuncturist in SF) why? poor ratings? http://www.boston.com/news/health/blog/2008/01/pediatricians_c.html K On Sun, Apr 26, 2009 at 7:21 AM, shamanist1 <shamanist1 wrote: > > > I have been educating myself about vaccination ever since my daughter was > born 1.5 years ago.

Guest guest Posted April 26, 2009 Report Share Posted April 26, 2009 You are correct in that fear mongering is a potent inducer for compliance especailly when it comes from the Almighty in a white coat that has big degrees posted on the wall, the only bigger crime than this is that the white coat is so " assimilated " by those that run who and what is passed off as " medicine " in this country. It is more than unethical.There is a very good resource 15 pages long about the Mini Review of adverse events following vaccination. What I found on the last 3 pages were the facts, the vaccine industry was starting to live the heat of litigation following indetification of the " outing " of vaccine adverse events and risk versus benefit, that the disease rate was higher in vaccinated populations etcetcetc, the fact that it is our government.......that bears the bulf of vaccine research financing and even the manufacture and dispersal, they are concerned over " losing the vaccine industry " and so came up with there " plan " to target new groups for injections.....like teeenagers, ala GARDASIL and with hyped up bird flu swine flu vaccines. I learned the hard way, of what happens to the innoculate following the vaccine administration is of no concern now, now that they have written into lae full indemnification for the drug companies. Look at Bioshield and see how they have managed to write into law the forceable administration of " vaccines " for anything they can fear monger into being for " Homeland Security " There are tons of information about the two main sequences of vaccination in the way of damage to the patient, NEUROLOGICAL and CARDIOVASCULAR. Plenty of others exist but the bulk of adverse events fall into these categories. The main protestor of Gardasil contracted TERMINAL CEREBRAL VASCULITIS following administration of Gardasil, yes, they know, why else do you think they prearranged full indemnification for the pharmaceutical companies? Look at the laws that just the republican party over the last two Bush administrations did to write pharmaceutical " get out of jail free cards " , including Eli Lilly for the damage from thimerasol (mercury)....which they had been told in 1935 was not even safe for DOGS>>>>>>>>> If we as TCM practitioners understood the damage coming from vaccinations and from drugs......for instance the administration of prednisone interrupts not less than 200 enzymtic pathways, prozac will fry your brain it is essentially flouride, for that matter most of the drugs are either flouride based or aluminum based.....the doctors are not educated as to the really important way to treat/prevent disease with nutrition......no that is what they SPECIFICALLY are not taught.Codex will do what it has to do with keeping the herd away from important nutraceuticals and vitamin supplements that would treat the very diseases conferred upon them from the administration of vaccines. We do have alot to learn, I DO NOT look to those whom benefit from our dis eased state to learn the truth. there is not much money in helath, there are tons in disease and cancer, the way you make that disease is you vaccinate and you deliver bad foods, therefore Food and Drug Administration. Sincerely, Patricia Jordan DVM,CVA,CTCVM & Herbology Chinese Medicine lotuskarma Sat, 25 Apr 2009 17:52:31 -0400 Re: Vaccination - Whom can we trust? Hello to all of you, I am new to this group and was excited to join in time to read all of the responses pertaining to this topic. I just have a small thing to say. I have two children, 11 and 14 whom have never been vaccinated. My youngest has epilepsy and brain damage from hypoglycemia shortly after he was born. We were given a vaccine handbook when we were in the hospital with our son and it clearly stated that children with CNS disorders were contraindicated for vaccines. That didn't stop the doctors however from continually demanding that we vaccinate our children. I have read a lot about vaccines both pros and cons and expected such arguments from such a controversial subject. What I have difficulty with is the fear factor that our doctors tried to instill in us. There was no urging of us to educate ourselves of our choice but a feeling that this was mandatory. This is what I feel is very wrong. We are in a different era than when the vaccines were first produced, mainly to put an end to epidemics brought about by poor sanitation and ignorance. What I instill in my patients is that they have a choice. And that we have the power to seek alternative means if we choose not to vaccinate. My hats off to all of you who continue to seek the truth and to empower our patients with it.

Guest guest Posted April 26, 2009 Report Share Posted April 26, 2009 Mike you are correct and what a line of legislation they have written into our laws, all without any chance for discussion and taked onto things like the Patriot Act FOR THE SOLE PURPOSE OF GETTING IT IN WITHOUT DISCUSSION....they know EXACTLY what they are doing and I think more Inflammatory is why do they have to stoop to this to get their agenda met......are they hiding something? Are the drug companies hiding something when they fail to disclose the contents of the vaccines saying it is " proprietary ingredients " of course they are and we all need to be aware of this. I for one am embarrassed that they have manipulated the doctors into minions and needle jockeys to disperse this evil when most of the doctors thought they were in a healing profession. Just because someone likes biotechnology and the thrill of being able to direct evolution and manipulate the worlds populations, races, etc, does not take away our inate rights to allow them to do that.

Alon, It is and maybe that is why they continue to fight so hard and even legislate no lawsuits against them for adverse reactions. There was some recent language on this that was included in the so-called " Patriot Bill " that prevents us from seeking any legal retribution and they can even force us to have vaccinations.

Guest guest Posted April 26, 2009 Report Share Posted April 26, 2009 Hi Marie, and greetings from California! How's life in " The City? " Why are you in such a hurry to vaccinate at age 2? There is a dramatic increase in immune functionality between the ages of 2 and 5. Also, as Genevieve mentioned, there is also the alternative of homeopathic immunizations. Use your daughter's early years to build her up through diet, exercise, tuina, and herbs first.

Chinese Medicine Sunday, April 26, 2009, 7:21 AM I have been educating myself about vaccination ever since my daughter was born 1.5 years ago. Prior to my own research, I pretty much approved of the status quo... I had never heard of or come across anything that would question my belief in the importance or validity of vaccinations. However, I will say that after delving a little into this issue, I was shocked at some of the stuff I found out. I have decided to delay vaccination for my daughter until two years old, and then, only to selectively vaccinate her. Here is just a brief synopsis of the stuff that I found out: 1) Most of the info that we have about vaccine effectiveness comes from study of the population already having recieved it. In other words, only the newest vaccines have undergone clinical, double blind, controlled trials. In effect, our grandparents and parents were 'guinea pigs' so to speak for whether the vaccines were effective. 2) Vaccination stimulates the immune system in a very different way than natural infection. Some recent research has been done on the response of T cells post vaccination, and found that one type of T cell was affected, versus in natural infection where all types tended to respond. 3)There have been instances of vaccine induced injury as a direct result of vaccination. For more info about this, look to the recent Hannah Poling Case, or another simply horrific case in Australia (google Dr Kalokerinos) . I personally, have never had a health professional of any kind inform me of the possible risks of vaccines prior to getting vaccinated, and I strongly believe that there is a concensus among the medical community that any info that presents vaccines in a negative light might reduce the vaccination rates. Every year, injuries due to vaccination are reported to a government agency http://vaers. hhp.org 4) Rates of disease are higher in poor countries with less sanitation and less access to good nutrition, regardless of vaccination rates. Rates of disease had already begun to decline BEFORE the introduction of vaccines in western and industrialized countries in the last century due to better sanitation, nutrition, and health care advaces. In conclusion, I want to say that although I am not specifically 'ANTI' vaccine, I do believe that there is cause for some concern, have experienced being treated like a villain by my first pediatrician simply for questioning the practice, as well as having my posts denied on a parenting listserve because of my personal beliefs. I believe that the most important thing should be continual improvement in our health care system, preventing injury to susceptible individuals, and and having transparency with regards to risks, and the organizations profitting from these drugs.

Guest guest Posted April 26, 2009 Report Share Posted April 26, 2009 And so certainly you would do all the homework involved in understanding that HERD IMMUNITY does not work, and that each dsease is different on if this reasoning for jabbing everyone with chronic disease would establish a tight role for miracles on a short term scale? The chicken pox vaccine is only and soley for the economics of saving parents from missing work taking care of a sick child, yet it not only denies the child to fully come into his capable immune system through expression of the disease fully, you also lose the second introduction older parents would recieve to prevent immunity waning and later Shingles infection Ops, thats right they have that covered by making a Shingle vaccine for older folks..... Quarantine and decreasing social gatherings would be more effective along with optimal nutrition, etcetc than shooting mercury up to the brain and along with it who knows what else contaminants or deliberants protein sequences. if you think the vaccines are safe, show me the data, and not from a profiteer. Herd Immunity......like tha does anything but rise up more mutations of even stronger strains.Herd Immunity was a concept that came up before mathematical models were developed that proved quite a different scenario. All epidemics are now being traced back to the very research and mad scientist manipulations of the pathogens, the 1918 flu was AMERICAN MADE with swine thyphus vaccine materials mixed with avian flu strains and then injected into our soldiers to carry around the world in the war.Patient zero was a soldier in Kansas. calling it the Spanish flu, a smoke screen, curious why our government would pay to resurect it though just last year and prior to this new Swine flu outbreak in Mexico. For economical understanding that our pharmacuetical compnies get futures and BIG payments from the government to be working on this ridiculous attempt at feigning health care, realize that the CDC gets its money from every vaccine made, they own the patent, or steal the intellectual property from whomever they wish, indidivudal states only get federal funds if they jab their children with CDC recomendations and the same perverses the WHO......Bill gates paid his penance with the Justice Dept for avoiding a monopoly charge by financing the destruction of world health through funding the world vaccine program and then what goes round comes round for the entire herd.Just up today, Baxter international wants to get those mexico virus strain samples.....they want to make us a vaccine.....if you haven't heard of the recent Baxter International Disaster, don't be surprized it was only covered well in OTHER COUNTRIES. Seriously learn to question everything you have been told about vaccines, efficacy, and safety.

Another thing to toss in the pot is the risk analysis for populations, the public health issues. It's not just about personal choices, but what are the risks to the population of these diseases? For instance, I might choose against a vaccine for preventing cervical cancer for all the reasons stated so far, on a personal level, and if I get cervical cancer I'm not putting my neighbors at risk. A (effective) flu vaccine, on the other hand, could prevent whole populations from getting ill.

Exactly, we need to make differentiated decisions, there is no polio in the US right now, and if the vaccine is needed is questionable, and yes, there may be risks to receiving the vaccine, however, that doesn't mean that vaccines are a bad idea. It all depends, when? for whom? where do they live and travel? Are they at risk for contracting the disease? How much risk is there?

Random? Are you kidding? That seems to be the very nature of discussion groups! Maybe you mean " poorly focused " ? I think a major point that Patricia brings up is one of withheld information that prevents Joe-Schmoe Parent from making informed decisions regarding this topic. The idea of whether to vaccinate or not is highly charged with emotion, and while I am whole-heartedly invested in TCM I also realize that the issue is more complicated than it may seem. I myself have seen enough better science lately to justify dissuading most people away from vaccinations than to encourage them.

Friday, April 24, 2009 12:35 PM Re: Vaccination - Whom can we trust? I think the problem with the discussion is that it is a bit too random. Right after world war 2 there was a polio epidemic in Germany and I went to school with many crippled children who are probably today suffering from post polio symptom, I was immunized, and I am grateful that I was. Are we overdoing it a bit now with the vaccicines, maybe yes. It all depends. If there was a Hep B vaccine available, I think I would get it, if I had a daughter I would vaccine her against HPV. Sometimes vaccines offer protection, just think how many millions of people in Africa could be saved if we had a HIV vaccine. I think we need to think about this issue in a more differentiated way. It seems some people on this listserv have a soapbox they want to stand on, and that can get tiring for others.

Guest guest Posted April 26, 2009 Report Share Posted April 26, 2009 John, I am afraid that I have seen photos of the vaccine packaging from several different mfg since 2001. I cannot tell you whether or not it is widespread but logically it would make sense. I believe that all drugs are batch tested. Maybe someone else can respond to that point. I am grateful for our moderator allowing us to each learn more about this issue as it directly affects us and our patients health.

Guest guest Posted April 26, 2009 Report Share Posted April 26, 2009 Great Mike! and if you would like, I have 250 GB of info on the damage of vaccines to the mammalian body, well also to the other animals, once we started industrial farming of any of the fish(trout, cod, salmon, eels ayu,), they got sick, so what was the answer.....VACCINATE! now we are producing salmon with autoimmune disease. Really we have to see that the vaccines are not the way to construct health they de construct health, and in so many ways.We have to stop vaccinating everything and that concerns me as we have such corrupted immune systems, will the dysfunctioning systems even be able to be detoxed and withstand nutrigeonomics to correct our disease, support with TCM, Homeopathy are the correct paths to healing.

Prior to my own research, I pretty much approved of the status quo... I had never heard of or come across anything that would question my belief in the importance or validity of vaccinations. However, I will say that after delving a little into this issue, I was shocked at some of the stuff I found out. I have decided to delay vaccination for my daughter until two years old, and then, only to selectively vaccinate her. > > > > Here is just a brief synopsis of the stuff that I found out: > > > > 1) Most of the info that we have about vaccine effectiveness comes from study of the population already having recieved it. In other words, only the newest vaccines have undergone clinical, double blind, controlled trials. In effect, our grandparents and parents were 'guinea pigs' so to speak for whether the vaccines were effective. > > > > 2) Vaccination stimulates the immune system in a very different way than natural infection. Some recent research has been done on the response of T cells post vaccination, and found that one type of T cell was affected, versus in natural infection where all types tended to respond. > > > > 3)There have been instances of vaccine induced injury as a direct result of vaccination. For more info about this, look to the recent Hannah Poling Case, or another simply horrific case in Australia (google Dr Kalokerinos). I personally, have never had a health professional of any kind inform me of the possible risks of vaccines prior to getting vaccinated, and I strongly believe that there is a concensus among the medical community that any info that presents vaccines in a negative light might reduce the vaccination rates. Every year, injuries due to vaccination are reported to a government agency http://vaers.hhp.org > > > > 4) Rates of disease are higher in poor countries with less sanitation and less access to good nutrition, regardless of vaccination rates. Rates of disease had already begun to decline BEFORE the introduction of vaccines in western and industrialized countries in the last century due to better sanitation, nutrition, and health care advaces. > > > > In conclusion, I want to say that although I am not specifically 'ANTI' vaccine, I do believe that there is cause for some concern, have experienced being treated like a villain by my first pediatrician simply for questioning the practice, as well as having my posts denied on a parenting listserve because of my personal beliefs. I believe that the most important thing should be continual improvement in our health care system, preventing injury to susceptible individuals, and and having transparency with regards to risks, and the organizations profitting from these drugs. > > > > Here are some good resources to check out if you want to know more: > > > > Direct from the horses mouth: the CDC.
