Guest guest Posted August 18, 2005 Report Share Posted August 18, 2005 Hi folks, rarely do I reply to the list, as I am just reading and learning and learning and reading. What a great place Chris has for this. But I have been reading this vaccine thing. When I grew up there were about 3 like I read somewhere in this topic. I remember well the mumps, measles, german measles and whatever else we got. And I don't remember this except for one little sound in the back of my head and as I type I can hear it now. (the iron lung) I went into the hospital at age 4 for appendicitis but all the beds in the pediatric unit was full so they stuck me in with a woman on the regular wing of adults. (if that had happened to my child, I would have taken them to the cleaners and I am usually quite calm and caring) so I go home and recouperate to one night get up off the couch to go on the potty, and I collapse in the middle of the floor. I am quickly rushed to the hospital to find, I had contracted polio from the woman that they put me in with. Grant you there is no way of knowing I suppose, but. I spent the next many, many years of my life suffering the curses of the polio disease. I was blessed and got the use of my legs back but have had complications in other ways that probably will be with me always. I have a better outlook on the world now and am quite active and take some great supplements that help me in many ways so I can enjoy life better than it was earlier. It was a blessing when a vaccine was discovered, and I am so thankful folks are sharing this with those they can. Thanks for listening. Warmly, Fran Frankly, if a small handful of people have a negative reaction to the vaccine, and they are aware of the potential of this, I consider that to be obviously, an awful thing, but well worth the price to pay to have this horrid disease swept from the face of the earth.

Guest guest Posted August 19, 2005 Report Share Posted August 19, 2005 I am so grateful that I did not know about all this a quarter century ago when my kids were small. I still trusted the system back then and cheerfully went along and they got their shots without ill effect. But then neither of them is that hyper-sensitive kind. My generation was immunized against smallpox but we just got measles, chicken pox, rubella and even whooping cough as a matter of course. Part of childhood! Probably some kids got complications from measles . So, now they don't get measles, but they get weird auto-immune conditions instead. Govenment and the individual parents have a different job to do. Government has to look at the big picture and look after the herd so to speak. Immunization experts use the concept " herd immunity " . As parents we have to look out for our individual child, and the herd be damned. If one in a million has a bad reaction, and that happens to be my child, then that is 100% for me. I wish governments would quit stone-walling the very real concerns of parents. If I were a young parent today, I would first wait till my child was a bit older, and then look into the possibility of spreading the vaccines out to prevent a sudden load on the body.

Guest guest Posted September 19, 2005 Report Share Posted September 19, 2005 I have been away for a bit. I came across this topic as I try to catch up on posts (and not doing it very fast either). It has come to my attention the last month or 2 that the new vaccines are not to be trusted. I read in promedmail.com that the vaccines are only about 20 years old. Then the vaccines are only about (I believe the figure was) 15% of the populas that received them developed anti bodies to the disease they were vaccinated for. Not good odds. There have been no follow up done on the children who did receive the vaccinations to see if they developed any anti bodies. So what do we have here then? A 15% chance that you will develope antibodies to the disease. A 85% chance that you will get the disease anyways. A 100% chance that you should have received a booster shot, because they do not know the longtivity of the antibodies, and they do not even know if the vaccine was any good in the first place when they gave it. I have seen so many adults that have received the vaccinations develope other problems in their bodies because of these vaccinations, even to this day, they can not rid themselves of these problems. It would be different if the government was told the truth about the vaccines but they are not, and it would be different if we were told the whole truth about them, we are not. Who do we give the medical bills to when all our children become sick? Who at that point will even care or listen, just like they did back then. These are just my thoughts and do not represent the thoughts of anyone else. Barbara P.S. If anyone is interested in seeing that site...it is a real eye opener for a lot of things...be my guest.

Guest guest Posted September 19, 2005 Report Share Posted September 19, 2005 If you're interested in this subject, go see the Constant Gardener with Ralph Fiennes. I saw it yesterday, and it is an astonishing piece of filmaking, but it is also heartbreaking. I might have to disagree a little bit with the statement that " the government doesn't know " . I worked for the USDA for 8 years. It is amazing what they do know, but don't manage to tell the inform the public about. Yes the information is there, but it is buried in the Federal Register. Those regulations can sometimes be so difficult to understand, it isn't funny. I know because it was my job was to understand them so that they could be put into practice. They only know what the companies tell them, but they also know about the research that its own agencies do. Another thing you might want to check out is Kevin Trudeau's current bestselling book. He covers this same subject. Tam sewingstorms <sewingstorms wrote: I have been away for a bit. I came across this topic as I try to catch up on posts (and not doing it very fast either).

They have the audacity to call themselves the " Consumer Protection Board " . My son has been after me to buy this book. Wisdom of youth. News Release Sept 7th 2005 http://www.naturalcures.com/news+release+sept+7th+2005.aspx JUDGE PROHIBITS NEW YORK’S INTERFERENCE WITH SALE OF KEVIN TRUDEAU’S BEST-SELLING BOOK Attempt to Suppress Book Critical of Government Agencies Found to Violate Author’s First Amendment Rights Chicago, September 7, 2005 – A federal judge Tuesday issued a preliminary injunction against the New York State Consumer Protection Board (CPB) prohibiting it from directly contacting a cable or broadcast station in order to induce such stations to refuse to carry, or cease to carry advertisements for the Natural Cures book authored by Kevin Trudeau. The court order protects as First Amendment speech the advertisements for Kevin Trudeau's best-selling book, Natural Cures “They” Don’t Want You to Know About. The court's order also specifically prohibits the CPB from sending a letter to broadcasters asking them to pull the infomercial. Mr. Trudeau was required to prove a substantial likelihood of success because he was seeking to stop a government agency from acting. The court found Mr. Trudeau met that burden of proof in establishing that his First Amendment rights were violated and that the infomercials were fair and accurate advertisements for the book. The CPB argued the infomercials were misleading. The judge rejected that argument, however, in granting the preliminary injunction.

Guest guest Posted September 19, 2005 Report Share Posted September 19, 2005 Hi Tam, I haven't seen the movie yet, but I read the book. I'm looking forward to the movie and already have an idea how they might visualize this story. Unfortunately, the scenario John LeCarre presents could very well be a reality, although most of us would hope not. There is a very disturbing news item just coming into the mainstream, however, that we should be paying attention to that is not fiction. One of the articles can be found at http://tinyurl.com/7fhc3 These events will challenge all of us should it happen. The possibility that this virus will mutate and learn to travel from human to human (now it only travels bird to human) is frightening. Certainly not welcome, especially still reeling on the heels of our overwhelming disaster in SE US. What can we, as aromatherapists and herbalists, do to help ourselves, families and communities cope with such a catastrophic pandemic? I intend to eat as much garlic as I possibly can in the coming months. I'll eat it fresh, roasted on bread like butter. Copious amounts. It is the best known food source to improve immunity. And, because we keep prepared for self-sufficiency in the event of an earthquake here in WA, I'll make sure that we could quarantine ourselves if need be. I'll diffuse with essential oils that I know will keep the home environment as free of airborne virus as I can. All Citrus oils, Backhousia, Conifers - I'll perhaps even include the Artemisia that we distilled here in WA - one of the big guns I might not use otherwise because of toxicity risks. We will take oregano suspended in honey, probably as a precautionary measure, even before we feel symptoms if we know that this flu has invaded our community. Since doctors claim that there is only one known vaccine that will affectively destroy this virus and we know there isn't going to be enough to go around, we had better look to our own self-sufficiency if this dreadful event comes about. What suggestions might some of you have? Be well, Marcia Elston, Samara Botane, http://www.wingedseed.com/katrina.htm " First of all, cultivate a contented spirit; a garden is a good place to begin.

The problem with ingestion is that there are those who suffer intestinal/stomach irritation, and it is often contraindicated for pulmonary congestion - haemoptysis, (vomiting of blood of pulmonary origin) dry or severe cough, fever.

Guest guest Posted September 19, 2005 Report Share Posted September 19, 2005 Carol Ann, Thank you for clarifying for those who cannot tolerate eating garlic; fortunately, even though I have had acute pancreatitis and other GI problems, I can eat as much garlic as I like. And, yes, onions should be included in one form or another, for sure. And, for those who can tolerate it, cayenne or other hot peppers. Again, you can use the well-diluted tincture for a more gentle application. We make a lovely ginger-honey (infused with the root and eo added) for culinary use (and simple colds/flu), so many kinds of infused honey should also be helpful. I've had more thoughts when thinking about essential oils or herbs . . . Good old Thieves Vinegar and the two most important essential oils from the Bible, frankincense and myrrh should certainly be in our toolboxes. We know that both these essential oils are powerfully antiviral, antiseptic, and antibacterial and will address a wide range of known pathogens. They were, of course, included in the original recipe of Thieves Vinegar. And, we have to remember that the pharmaceutical industry isn't looking at the possibilities of natural remedies; when they say there is only one drug being developed that is effective against this strain, how do we know that our essential oils won't be? Certainly not prescribing here, just suggesting we may have to experiment on our own if the time comes. I hope desperately that we are not faced with this pandemic. Since it has not learned to transmit from human to human yet, it is somewhat under control. Once it does that (and probably only a matter of time), however, it will spread across the globe like Aids - only worse. I do think it is important to keep an awareness and advise your family and friends, and be prepared for the worst case scenario.
