Flu Shot Facts Everyone Should Know

There is a consistent misnomer among the mainstream consensus that vaccines are healthy. If flu shots are effective, one could argue that the end result is healthy, but there is nothing healthy about the vaccine itself. In 2014, the ingredients include thimerosal (mercury), aluminum salts, sugars, gelatin, egg protein, formaldehyde, and neomycin. Nobody in their right mind can argue that allowing these toxins into the body is actually “healthy.” The idea is that the damage the vaccine may do is outweighed by the illness it prevents.

The question remains, is it worth the risk, however minor or major the risks may be? To answer this question, we need to answer the question of whether the flu shot reduces the number of flu cases each year. The CDC says yes, but most people don’t know that the CDC admits they cannot verify their claims.

If you’re on the fence about flu shots (or know somebody who is), the following is undisputed, inarguable information that can all be easily verified, information that everyone should be aware of to in regards to flu shot dangers and efficacy.

The CDC has no idea how many people contract influenza or die from it each year

The CDC states that they receive reports on confirmed influenza cases in children but not adults. Their website lists the number of annual flu-related deaths for children. The average since 2003 is 113 deaths per year. Yet they claim 25-35,000 Americans die from influenza each year. They base their numbers on cases of pneumonia, respiratory, and circulatory related deaths without laboratory confirmation that influenza was a cause. Many of these cases are the elderly who suffer from chronic diseases. The CDC claims their deaths are due to flu-related illnesses or that the flu weakened their condition, yet there is no confirmation that the patient suffered from influenza.

The flu is not usually the flu

Whenever we spike a fever along with muscle aches and pains we (and doctors as well) decide we have the flu. But we probably don’t. We may have a virus of some kind, or we may have a bacterial infection (which could also be from food we ate) or a fungal infection (like candida, which can infect the body just like a virus or a bacteria and show all of the same symptoms). Even if it is a virus, there are more than 200 viruses that cause flu-like symptoms.

Pneumonia has more than 30 different causes, influenza being but one of them.

The National Center for Health Statistics states, “Cause-of-death statistics are based solely on the underlying cause of death [internationally defined] as ‘the disease or injury which initiated the train of events leading directly to death,'” Since the flu is rarely an “underlying cause of death,” the CDC created the term, “influenza-associated death.”

The CDC does not want to know how many people actually die from the flu. Or, they do know, and don’t want anyone else to know. When you put the pieces of the puzzle together, that much is clear. If they wanted to know how many people died from the flu, as in, how many people die from flu symptoms with laboratory confirmed influenza virus every year, it would be relatively easy to find out. We have those statistics for other diseases, but not for the flu.

The CDC does reveal the effectiveness or ineffectiveness of flu inoculations

In children, the effectiveness of the flu vaccine is reported to be a mere 66%. It doesn’t seem possible to derive a factual number for adults since the CDC states that tests for influenza are not reported. When laboratory tests are done to confirm influenza, they often show that influenza was not present. Perhaps this is why the CDC does not collect this information.

They guess which influenza shot to give you every year

The viral strain used to manufacture the vaccine is based on the best guess of which flu strain will spread during the next flu season. Add to this best guess scenario the fact the viruses mutate. Even if the correct strain was chosen, a mutation may render the vaccine useless. It’s interesting to note that while, as mentioned, the CDC does track the annual confirmed influenza deaths of children, but the CDC does not track what influenza virus kills them. We cannot find any record of how often the vaccine companies manufacture for the correct strain, or how often any particular strain of influenza is more or less likely to kill us.

For all we know, they could be giving people the wrong flu vaccine more often than not.

Flu vaccines contain aluminum salts & formaldehyde

The use of aluminum salts on the skin has been linked to breast cancer, Alzheimer’s disease, and many other diseases. Aluminum, in any of it’s forms, is known to be extremely toxic to humans. Of course, injecting or snorting aluminum, as opposed to drinking from aluminum cans and absorbing it from skin products, is very different. We would argue that this difference poses a far greater risk to health, but vaccine advocates disagree.

Flu vaccines are not vegan friendly

Sugars (sugar often comes from non-vegan sources), egg protein, and gelatin (derived from collagen obtained from various animal by-products) are in the 2014 rounds of flu shots. The flu vaccine is prepared from the fluids of chick embryos inoculated with an influenza virus.

Yes! Influenza shots still contain mercury

If you choose to take a vaccine, look for the ingredient thermisol. Thermisol is in multi-dose vials of flu vaccine, which are most of the flu vaccines.

Autism is not the most common vaccine injury being settled in vaccine court

Guillain-Barré Syndrome is an auto-immune reaction to viruses and vaccines. The immune system attacks the nervous system. Symptoms range from tingling and weakness in the limbs to life-threatening paralysis.

There has been a lot of news about the links between vaccines and autism, but settlements for Guillain- Barré Syndrome exceed autism and other child development cases in vaccine court. The number of settlements also far exceed the numbers of cases cited by the CDC and other pro-vaccine sources.

The CDC has no idea how many people contract influenza or die from it each year

The CDC states that they receive reports on confirmed influenza cases in children but not adults. Their website lists the number of annual flu-related deaths for children. The average since 2003 is 113 deaths per year. Yet they claim 25-35,000 Americans die from influenza each year. They base their numbers on cases of pneumonia, respiratory, and circulatory related deaths without laboratory confirmation that influenza was a cause. Many of these cases are the elderly who suffer from chronic diseases. The CDC claims their deaths are due to flu-related illnesses or that the flu weakened their condition, yet there is no confirmation that the patient suffered from influenza.

We many have a virus of some kind, or we may have a bacterial infection (which could also be from food we ate) or a fungal infection (like candida, which can infect the body just like a virus or a bacteria and show all of the same symptoms). Even if it is a virus, there are more than 200 viruses that cause flu-like symptoms.

Pneumonia has more than 30 different causes, influenza being but one of them.

The National Center for Health Statistics states, “Cause-of-death statistics are based solely on the underlying cause of death [internationally defined] as ‘the disease or injury which initiated the train of events leading directly to death,'” Since the flu is rarely an “underlying cause of death,” the CDC created the term, “influenza-associated death.”

The CDC does not want to know how many people actually die from the flu. Or, they do know, and don’t want anyone else to know. When you put the pieces of the puzzle together, that much is clear.

We have those statistics for other diseases, but not for the flu.

Conclusion

The flu is completely preventable. The irony is that the flu shot makes a healthy person more likely to get the flu and a person with a compromised immune system is much more likely to be damaged by toxic vaccine ingredients than a healthy person. The more often the flu shot is received, the more likely an injury will occur, and the weaker the immune system will be in the long run.

How to Detoxify from Vaccinations & Heavy Metals

If you choose to vaccinate (or believe you have no choice), it’s time to detoxify. This is not an article intended to debate the efficacy of vaccinations, but merely to address the toxicity from vaccinations and advise on elimination of the toxins.

Regardless of what your position on vaccinations is, any rational person cannot deny that the ingredients in vaccines are toxic. In fact, almost every single ingredient in any immunization is toxic to the human body. Besides the vitamins and minerals, nobody in their right mind would drink a concoction with any one or combination of most of the vaccine ingredients (and those vitamins and minerals they add are toxic, too). Most vaccinations are directly injected into our bodies, allowing the ingredients to directly enter the bloodstream, which rationally, seems like an even more dangerous approach.

Vaccine ingredients (adjuvants and preservatives) and substances used in the manufacturing process, including vaccine-production media that are present only in trace quantities, include: sucrose, fructose, dextrose, potassium phosphate, FD&C Yellow #6, aluminum lake dye, fetal bovine serum, sodium bicarbonate, monosodium glutamate, aluminum hydroxide, benzethonium chloride, lactose, aluminum potassium sulfate, peptone, bovine extract, formaldehyde, thimerosal, ammonium sulfate, formaldehyde, glutaraldehyde, bovine extract), calf serum, aluminum phosphate, aluminum hydroxphosphate sulfate, and ethanol. Vaccinations also contain many inorganic minerals, vitamins, amino acids, salts, and sugars.

If anyone can tell me why in the heck they put artificial colors into vaccines, I would love to read about it in comments. Does anyone really care what color an immunization is?

Obviously this sort of cocktail going into the bloodstream can slow things down. You are introducing heavy metals, preservatives, and a host of other inorganic compounds, most of which are not even found in nature, directly into the blood stream. Much of the vaccine material will not leave the body without assistance, especially with a typical modern lifestyle and diet.

Eat Well

The goal in order to detoxify from vaccinations is to flush the body of toxins, including heavy metals. There are a few good supplements available for chelation, but it can also be done with the right foods. Along with a healthy diet, the best ingredients for a natural heavy metal chelation regimen are chlorella, cilantro, citrus peels, spirulina, and garlic.

Most vegetables have some chelation properties, and eating combinations of vegetables increases their ability to chelate exponentially (this is true for all the health benefits). Make salads with more than ten different vegetables with lots of cilantro, avocado, and garlic every day. Avoid sugar, and avoid any and all refined, processed, manufactured foods.

Fix the Immune System

Sugars are present in vaccines, and sugars suppress the immune system. Sugars also feed parasites, viruses (indirectly), fungus, bacteria, and any other little creature that wants to harm us. These refined sugars travel through the bloodstream to wherever infection can be fed. As mentioned, lots of garlic is recommended, as well as the following supplements: oil of oregano, Echinacea, goldenseal, and goldenthread. These supplements, especially when used in conjunction with each other, will help purify the blood, remove toxins, and keep any infectious agent at bay, all while helping to repair the immune system.

In addition to those supplements, a B vitamin complex is recommended for a few weeks after immunizing. Formaldehydes, and metals like mercury and aluminum make assimilating B vitamins more difficult. Until the heavy metals are removed, the solution is to take a high quality B complex supplement and to make sure the digestive system is as healthy as possible.

Drink Lots of Fluids

I try to drink a gallon of cranberry lemonade with stevia and cayenne (click for recipe) every day. I am also 6’2” and I weigh 220 pounds. Use your best judgment. For most people, a gallon of water a has huge benefits including flushing out our system or toxins, heavy metals, and impurities, detoxifying our blood, lowering blood pressure, and reducing aging dramatically, as long as you are getting enough minerals and other nutrition while you do it. But to make drinking that much water even more difficult, for best nutrient absorption and heavy metal chelation, it’s best to take food with supplements and drink water (or lemonade) when the body is not trying to digest. You can also alternate days where you drink a lot more and eat a lot less, and vice-versa. This is a great way to detoxify quickly and get plenty of nutrition at the same time.

Exercise

Sweating, breathing hard, and moving help detoxify the body. Exercise also moves toxins that had otherwise settled, making elimination more likely. While you exercise, be sure to breathe properly. Breathe deeply from your diaphragm and expand your abdomen when you fill your air with lungs. It’s often said that 70 to 80% of the toxins we expel from our body evacuate through the lungs. The skin is the next most significant organ in regards to toxin elimination, hence the sweat with exercising. Running, exercising in a sauna (a non toxic sauna, ideally), jumping rope, rebounding, hiking with hills, squats, yoga, and tai chi are all great exercises for aiding detoxification.

Hot and Cold Hydrotherapy

Hot water increases blood flow to the surface of the body. Cold water drives the blood from the surface to the core of the body. Alternating hot and cold water increases blood flow and speeds up circulation. It brings fresh blood with oxygen and nutrients to the organs and glands and carries away toxins and waste. Dr. Shillington suggests starting with water as hot as you can stand for a minimum of two minutes. Then turn off the hot water for two minutes of cold—the colder the better. Alternate back and forth for a total of 20 minutes, ending with cold. Read more at Hot & Cold Hydrotherapy.

Supplements

Shillington’s Blood Detox is absolutely amazing, and in my mind, essential for any detox. With goldenseal, it cleans the blood, which helps every part of the body in every way.

Shillington’s Total Nutrition Formula has chlorella, spirulina, and citrus peels in it, which is awesome for detoxifying and chelating heavy metals, and it’s the best multivitamin/mineral supplement I know.

Shillington’s Intestinal Detox & Shillington’s Intestinal Cleanse will repair the intestines, remove heavy metals from the digestive tract,  and promote healthy gut flora.

Boost the chelation with this powerful supplement HM Complex by Pure Encapsulations.

Oil of oregano, Echinacea, goldenseal (which is in Blood Detox), and Chinese goldthread are also highly recommended, and don’t forget the garlic and the cilantro.

B vitamin complex  is recommended for a few weeks at least, since heavy metal toxicity causes the body to assimilate b vitamins inefficiently.

Keep Doing It

Unfortunately, the amount of heavy metals and other very toxic compounds in vaccines causes a huge burden on our immune system and takes a long time to expel from the body. Where the toxins settle inside the body, determines what, if any, vaccine injuries occur.

Keep in mind that heavy metals can shift. And they are heavy, as their name denotes. They often settle at the feet. A footbath detox works well for pulling toxins from the feet. More importantly, keep eating well, keep drinking lots of fluids, keep chelating, and keep exercising and detoxifying. The reality is, the healthier an individual is, the less likely they are to be injured by vaccines.

Regardless of their efficacy, the irony is, the healthier a person is, the less benefit they could possibly derive from vaccines. Also check out How To Detoxify and Heal From Vaccinations – For Adults and Children.

Autism and Vaccines: CDC Whistleblower Exposes Vaccine Dangers, Lies, and Cover-ups

According to a study by Focus Autism Foundation, a CDC whistleblower revealed manipulation of scientific data in regards to the MMR vaccine. There was pressure from the top to get CDC (The Center for Disease Control and Prevention) scientists to support government policies on Vaccine Safety, ignoring and hiding the risks involved.

It turns out that the CDC knew about increased autism rates among African-American Boys who received MMR shot earlier than 36 months.

A top research scientist working for the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) played a key role in helping Dr. Brian Hooker of the Focus Autism Foundation uncover data manipulation by the CDC that obscured a higher incidence of autism in African-American boys. The whistleblower came to the attention of Hooker, a PhD in biochemical engineering, after he had made a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request for original data on the destefano et al MMR (measles, mumps, rubella) and autism study.” – marketwatch.com

Dr. Hooker stated “The CDC knew about the relationship between the age of first MMR vaccine and autism incidence in African-American boys as early as 2003, but chose to cover it up.”

The whistleblower confirmed this.

The CDC whistleblower informant, who has worked for the government agency for over a decade, remarked to Dr. Hooker in phone calls: “We’ve missed ten years of research because the CDC is so paralyzed right now by anything related to autism. They’re not doing what they should be doing because they’re afraid to look for things that might be associated.” The whistleblower alleges criminal wrongdoing of his supervisors, and he expressed deep regret about his role in helping the CDC hide data.” focusautisminc.org

For those who don’t regularly keep up with vaccine news, this may come as a bit of a shock. Most of us that are in the know are aware of the fact that the CDC and vaccine manufacturers know vaccines can increase the risk for autism and other very serious health issues. That’s not really news. The news here lies in the fact that the CDC has been exposed as the fraudulent special-interest organization that people in natural health have suspected them to be for some time now. There are also, obviously, huge racial issues implied as well.

We at OLM are not saying that vaccines do not have any value. They may. The problem is that it’s naive to believe the powers that be when they tell you that there is nothing wrong with injecting yourself with ingredients known to be very toxic. Furthermore, we at OLM advocate a level of health that builds natural immunity. We do not believe that good health is a crapshoot, a roll of the dice. We know that good health is a result of eating right, exercise, getting plenty of clean nutrition and sunlight, and getting enough sleep. Health cannot be found in a pill bottle or a shot. Nature weeds out the weak. We choose to stay strong, and we choose not to trade one disease for another.

We suspect that this is just the tip of the iceberg, and we will keep you updated.

In the meantime, remember this. When there’s a lot of money involved, there is always corruption. And there is a lot of money in vaccinations.

The Vaccine Argument – Why It’s Important Regardless of Where You Stand

In my experience, vaccines are a touchier subject than politics or religion. If you take on an anti-vaccine stance, you probably know what it’s like to be ridiculed, called names, condemned, and shamed.

The pro vaccines people believe that the non-vaccinated are putting everyone at risk. The anti crowd believes that the immunization risks far out way the benefits.

I see both sides. Clearly. I get it. I’ve done a ton of research and I’ve debated many, many times. But I do not vaccinate. I do not vaccinate my dog or my child.

I think it’s possible that vaccines have their place. On the other hand, I also believe that a very healthy person is at a much greater risk from vaccine injury than any disease. But I am under the radical assumption that when the body is fed properly and not overburdened with toxins, the body is not susceptible to pathogens. I also believe in the crazy notion that illness, including HIV, cancer, and almost every other disease, is curable through natural means. I understand that this sounds crazy to most people.

I see times changing. I remember when people looked at me like I should be locked up for eating organic. It wasn’t long ago that most of us believed GMOs where going to save the planet and feed all the hungry. Even many of my tree hugging friends were under the impression that GMOs where the only way to produce enough food to feed all of us.

I see the vaccine debate moving in the same direction as GMOs. I predict that most everyone will be anti-vaccine or at least hesitant to vaccinate with anything more than just a few immunizations. I bet the flu shot will fall out of favor very soon. I think vaccines are ineffective, dangerous, and cause much more harm than good.

But, I admit I could be wrong. I could be wrong about all of it.

So let’s assume I am. Vaccines do more good than harm. Now let’s take it a step further and pretend that almost all of us crazy non-vaxers decide to come on over to the inoculation side. And everyone trusts Merck. And we all vote that vaccines are mandatory for everyone in the U.S.

What then?

Would Merck remain this trustworthy, innocent corporation? No. Because there is nothing trustworthy about them now. Merck and many other vaccine manufacturers have committed heinous crimes against both adults and children. One of many examples is in this proceeding YouTube video where Bayer and the U.S. Government knowingly gave HIV tainted vaccinations to children. And we all heard about laws they tried to pass in Texas that force children to vaccinate against an STD. Pharmaceutical companies, like almost every other corporation in this country, put profits above everything else. And we all know what corporations are perfectly willing to do to our children in the name of profit. This includes the medical companies. It happens all the time, and is even reported (usually very briefly) in mainstream media. They cannot be trusted!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wg-52mHIjhs

Vaccine companies have already made it almost impossible to sue them. They are trying to make it illegal not to use their product. And they have been proven to commit crimes against people in the name of profit.

Furthermore, at least for the informed, it is no longer a debate as to whether or not vaccines can cause autism or other damage. Even vaccine manufactures are acknowledging this. The argument is about how often vaccine injuries happen, and if they are a benefit to society.

Without those crazy anti-vaccine guys, where would we be right now? Imagine if nobody stood up and said GMOs are bad news. Imagine if we all still took antibiotics every single chance we could. Imagine if those crazy advocates for lead free gasoline, paint, and other products didn’t exist?

My point is, we need this opposition to keep greed in check. It’s the “crazy” and “radical” progressives that got us safer working conditions, cleaner air to breathe, etc.  Even when they’re (we’re) wrong, the opposition often keeps greed in check. If nobody questioned the safety and efficacy of immunizations, I can only imagine how much less safe they would be today. It took our voices just to get some of the mercury out of a few of the vaccines.

Debate is healthy. It’s absolutely necessary. Right or wrong, we need it to keep people and corporations in check.

Reasons Not To Vaccinate

We cannot prove, beyond a reasonable doubt, that vaccines do more harm than good anymore than anyone else can prove that they are beneficial. There are too many variables. But to say that there is nothing to worry about with vaccines is to bury one’s head in the sand.

Vaccine companies are corrupt. They lobby for new laws preventing lawsuits for vaccine damages. They ship vaccines they find to be tainted, contaminated, or otherwise compromised to developing nations under the guise of being altruistic. They lobby to pass laws forcing vaccines on people, even when the majority of healthcare practitioners state that the vaccine is completely unnecessary. They test dangerous concoctions on the military (soldiers don’t get to choose which vaccines they will receive and some have had dire consequences before being pulled). They continue to add more and more vaccines to the vaccine schedule (recommended vaccines), overloading children at an early age. Some children are receiving as many as 24 shots within their first two years of age. And to top it off, they continue to lobby to try to make vaccines mandatory for all United States citizens. Fortunately, unlike the previous laws they have successfully lobbied to pass, they are yet to have luck with this one.

Vaccinations Cause Injury

We have more vaccinations on our schedule than any other country. We also have one of the highest infant mortality rates and one of the highest newborn death rates among industrialized nations. We also have the highest rate of autism.

Only Latvia, with six deaths per 1,000 live births, has a higher death rate for newborns than the United States, which is tied near the bottom of industrialized nations with Hungary, Malta, Poland, and Slovakia with five deaths per 1,000 births.” – CNN

The United States has the highest number of mandated vaccines for children under 5 in the world (36, double the Western world average of 18), the highest autism rate in the world (1 in 150 children, 10 times or more the rate of some other Western countries), but only places 34th in the world for its children under 5 mortality rate.” – Generation Rescue

Our autism rates, along with many other neurological disorders that can be attributed to the preservatives in vaccinations, are skyrocketing with a direct and very clear correlation to the number of immunizations children are receiving. Anyone who reads the studies can plainly see this. Our brains aren’t working well. While this can be attributed to many factors, studies are being ignored or manipulated in order to hide the truth and keep the profits flowing.

We are obviously doing something wrong.

Fortunately, today, pretty much everyone knows that vaccinations can cause autism and other neurological disorders. This is in stark contrast to just a few years ago when I would write a Facebook post about how vaccines can cause these injuries, and I would be flooded with comments telling me how wrong I was. Since then the CDC and even a few heads of the vaccine companies now admit that these injuries are happening. Julie Gerberding, back when she was the director of the U.S. Center for Disease Control, confirmed to CBS News:

…if you’re predisposed with the mitochondrial disorder, it can certainly set off some damage. Some of the symptoms can be symptoms that have characteristics of autism.”

Now Julie is the President of Merck’s Vaccines Division. No surprise there!

If you’ve ever read the forms required before getting vaccinated, you know the dangers, and you know the drug companies and hospitals are aware of the dangers. We also have the pharmaceutical companies spending millions of dollars every year lobbying in order to get bills passed that make it impossible to hold them legally responsible for any of their vaccine damages as they continue to push more and more new and obviously unnecessary vaccines on us. With 1 out of 150 children affected by autism, according to the National Vaccine Information Center, just imagine how many injuries we don’t know about. Imagine how many children learn everything more slowly, how many children end up with ADHD and dyslexia because of vaccines. How many children are deemed troublemakers and are thought to be unwilling to learn because they can’t learn the way other children do, due to vaccines? And how many children progress significantly slower in so many ways thanks to vaccinations?

And many of the reports, even from the CDC’s own website, show that the likelihood of vaccine injuries are greater than the likelihood of getting the disease the immunization is intended to prevent. Take the DPT vaccine for instance. The chances of a serious adverse reaction are one in 1750, while the chances of dying from pertussis are one in several million. Another example is the HPV vaccine. They tried to pass law forcing young girls (starting at 11) to receive this vaccination. HPV is a sexually transmitted disease and the infections in young women are temporary and have little to no long-term significance.

How many people have you heard of that got sick because they did not vaccinate?

How many have you heard of that got sick because they did vaccinate?

Vaccinations and Eradication of Disease

Many people in the natural health community will agree that drug companies are corrupt and that the number of vaccines recommended for people is ridiculous and dangerous. They will typically contend that most of today’s vaccines likely do more harm than good. The educated ones will often point to the chickenpox and the measles vaccine and agree that these are obviously totally unnecessary, historically ineffectual, and not worth the risks. But many still argue in favor of the efficacy of the smallpox and polio vaccines.

Diseases run their course. Eventually, a natural immunity develops or the species becomes extinct. There is considerable evidence that this was a contributing factor with smallpox and polio. In addition, health plays a huge role in disease prevention. It’s simple. The cleaner the water and food supply is, the healthier the people are, the better their bodies are at defending against disease. It’s a logical, but typically ignored, fact.

Was Poliovirus Eradicated with Immunization?

Historical documents show a decline in polio cases after the introduction of the poliovirus vaccine for four reasons:

1. Improvements in sewage and water systems. Polio is spread via feces/oral route, and sanitation policies clearly played a major role in the decline of polio. In every case of polio outbreaks, unsanitary conditions were the cause of the epidemic.

If the poliovirus vaccine is responsible for eradicating polio in our country,  then why is the poliovirus still prevalent in India, the Congo, and many African countries? There are still outbreaks after years and years of annual polio vaccine campaigns. This is due to a lack of sanitation and due to the vaccine itself. Wherever people use waterways for drinking, cooking, cleaning, and for sewage, polio will never go away.

2. The criteria for diagnosing the poliovirus changed. Doctors trusted vaccines to the point that they mis-diagnosed polio patients if they had been previously vaccinated. Instead, these well-meaning doctors attributed the symptoms to other diseases.

3. Before vaccinations, many doctors diagnosed anyone and everyone with polio-like symptoms as having poliovirus, regardless of the fact that other viruses like Coxsackie, echo, and enteroviruses can also cause long-term paralysis,

4. And last, but certainly not least, polio cases were already on the decline dramatically before the vaccine was introduced.

So during the peak of polio, everyone with polio-like symptoms was said to have the poliovirus. After sanitation programs began, cases of polio dropped significantly. Next, immunization began. Then there was another drop because everyone with polio-like symptoms, including those with polio, was said not to have the poliovirus.

Polio is long-term paralysis caused by the poliovirus and other diseases as well. Prior to 1954, the following undoubtedly hid behind the name “poliomyelitis”: Transverse Myelitis, viral or “aseptic” meningitis, Guillain-Barre Syndrome (GBS)- (what Franklin Delano Roosevelt had)[4], Chinese Paralytic syndrome, Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, epidemic cholera, cholera morbus, spinal meningitis, spinal apoplexy, inhibitory palsy, intermittent fever, famine fever, worm fever, bilious remittent fever, ergotism, post-polio syndrome, acute flaccid paralysis(AFP).” – Suzanne Humphries, MD

Now the CDC reports that out of 162 confirmed cases of  paralytic polio, eight were contracted outside of the United States and 154 cases were actually caused by the vaccine itself. Mainstream-media is reporting that the polio vaccine campaign in India was a success. But there are 47,500 new cases of non-polio acute flaccid paralysis, which is caused by the polio vaccine and is said to be clinically indistinguishable from polio paralysis but twice as deadly.

Are Immunizations Responsible for the Eradication of Smallpox?

Many people point to the WHO Smallpox Eradication Programme that started in 1967. Initially, immunizing everyone with the vaccine was the plan, but it proved too difficult to implement and the idea was abandoned in favor of surveillance and containment.

This involved trained workers searching for cases, with rewards for those who found them. Cases and their contacts were then isolated; contacts were vaccinated.” – History Today

When Japan started compulsory vaccinations in 1892, they saw yearly increases in smallpox infections. In twenty years, there were 29,979 deaths from smallpox, and all of these people had been vaccinated.

In the Philippines, 8 million people received 24.5 million vaccinations (95% of their population). What followed was their worst smallpox epidemic ever with a quadrupled death rate.

In England, before 1853, the largest known  smallpox death count for a two-year period was approximately 2,000. Shortly after England’s compulsory vaccination , the death rate in England and Wales began to climb. In 1870 and 1871, the death rate peaked at more than 23,000 smallpox deaths. When the City of Leicester, England stopped vaccinating for smallpox between 1882 and 1908, they saw a remarkable reduction in cases compared to the rest of England.

In 1871, Bavarian cases of smallpox deaths totaled 30,742,. Of the dead, 29,429 had been vaccinated.

Polio, and virtually every other contagious epidemic disease for which we vaccinate. is spread by unsanitary conditions to people with poor health. Better sanitation reduced the occurrence of smallpox and polio, not vaccinations. The studies show us that, too often, the people who suffer from these diseases have either been vaccinated themselves, or they caught the disease from someone else who had been vaccinated.

One of the great triumphs of medical science is said to involve the eradication of smallpox. The fact that it was in decline before mass vaccination was instituted is conveniently forgotten, as are the many cases of fully immunized individuals contracting the disease.” – Vaccination and Immunization: Dangers, Delusions and Alternatives by Leon Chaitow.

The risks involved in smallpox inoculation are fairly well known. The United States government asked doctors to stop routine smallpox vaccinations in 1972. For some previous years, the only known cases of infection with smallpox were people who had been vaccinated. On top of that the vaccine is the most reactive of all and has been linked to the most serious side effects including death. It is also noted in many medical reports that people who receive the vaccine are not necessarily less likely to get smallpox, they are simply more likely to survive smallpox. This contradicts studies that report cases of smallpox deaths. When countries were doing compulsory vaccinations for smallpox, the death rate for those who received the vaccinations was as high or almost as high as the death rate for the non-vaccinated who contracted the disease.

Are Any Vaccinations Responsible for Eliminating Disease?

We could write about every single vaccine out on the market (if we wanted a 50 page article), and the story would be the same with the same answer. The answer is “no.” Sometimes we found graphs that make it look as though a disease was eliminated by immunizations, only to find that the graph has been manipulated. For instance, if you start a graph close to when a vaccine is administered to many people, it usually looks as though the vaccine had an effect on the infectious disease, when in fact, if you look back a few more years, it turns out that these diseases were already on a drastic decline. Time and time again, sanitation efforts increase (as they should when a population of people are getting sick) right before the drop in numbers.

smallpox and vaccines introductionThe chart above is an example of a smallpox chart (from tetrahedron.org) made to look as though a smallpox vaccine did its job by starting the chart at a date well past when the disease began its decline (click to see full size).

But many other charts show an entirely different story.

VaccinationChart

Disease is spread when a population of poor, unhealthy people drink, cook, and bathe in water contaminated with sewage. Historically, when the disease begins to spread beyond the borders of the poor communities, people are quarantined and the communities are cleaned up and sanitized. This is when the disease declines within the population. Then a vaccine comes along, there is a bump in the amount of people infected due to the vaccine, but because money is involved, the reporting gets skewed and the vaccine takes all the credit.

A Dirty Business

Earlier this month, (July 2013), the CDC posted a page on their website stating that more than 98 million Americans received one or more doses of the polio vaccine within an 8-year time span in which a portion of the vaccines contained a cancer causing polyomavirus known as SV40. The page was quickly pulled down. In May of 2010, federal health authorities recommended that doctors suspend the use of Rotarix, one of two vaccines licensed in the United States against rotavirus, because the vaccine was contaminated with material from a pig virus. In 2009, Baxter flu vaccines were contaminated with H5N1. Vaccines have been contaminated with HIV. The list goes on. Often times when the contamination is found, the vaccines are shipped to third world countries and administered there. No lawsuits. No liability.

Mainstream Media Vaccination Scandals

Drug companies, time and time again, commit atrocities. We rarely hear about them because drug companies to a large extent control our mainstream media, but we do have a few videos from mainstream media that cover vaccine industry corruption.

The first video is a news story about how Bayer and the U.S. Government knowingly gave HIV tainted vaccinations to children. This is no surprise to us, except that the mainstream media actually covered it!

We force immigrants to get needless vaccinations thanks to Merck’s lobbying.

This video talks about how the swine flu pandemic never was an actual pandemic.

For every story that the mainstream media exposes, imagine how many are covered up.

Flu Shot Ingredients

Type of Ingredient
Examples
Purpose
Preservatives Thimerosal (only in multi-dose vials of flu vaccine) To prevent contamination
Adjuvants Aluminum salts To help stimulate the body’s response to the antigens
Stabilizers Sugars, gelatin To keep the vaccine potent during transportation and storage
Residual cell culture materials Egg protein To grow enough of the virus or bacteria to make the vaccine
Residual inactivating ingredients Formaldehyde To kill viruses or inactivate toxins during the manufacturing process
Residual antibiotics Penicillin, sulfa drugs To prevent contamination by bacteria during the vaccine manufacturing process

 

For some time it seemed many people thought mercury was removed from all vaccines. Not true. Thimersosal is mercury and it is still a major ingredient in many vaccinations. After years of denying the connection between mercury and autism, routinely used children’s vaccines (except for flu shots) in the United States no longer contain thimerosal.

The rest of the ingredients don’t look so good either. You don’t have to be a scientist to understand that formaldehyde, aluminum, and mercury are very toxic to us. Ammonium sulfate can be found in the DTaP, DPT, HiB vaccines, all of which are routinely given to babies. Ammonium (basically positively charged ammonia), monosodium glutamate, potassium monophosphate, diphosphate, and phenoxyethanol (antifreeze) are other common and toxic ingredients found in vaccines, including children’s shots. If one were to suggest ingesting the same quantity of these ingredients found in a single vaccine, in any other way other than a vaccine, virtually every single doctor in the country would tell you that this could be extremely hazardous to your health. But put it in a vaccine, and inject it directly your blood stream, and suddenly these preservatives become inconsequential.

Vegan Issues

Flu and measles shots contain chick embryo and embryonic fluid. Vaccines cultured in human diploid cells that come from aborted human fetal tissue include Hepatitis A, RotaTeq, Varicella (chickenpox), Rubella, and Mump inoculations. Flu and mump shots are made in chicken eggs. Monkey kidney cells are used to create Polio vaccines. Other ingredients from animal byproducts include gelatin serums and guinea pig embryo cells.

Questions to Ask Yourself

If vaccines immunize, why must we keep taking them?

If vaccines are safe, why are laws being passed to protect the drug companies from any liability?

Do you trust these companies with your life and the lives of your children?

Do drug companies that create vaccines have any financial incentive to make the population healthy?

The Bottom Line

Vaccines are killing and damaging people. The drug companies do not care about our health. In fact, it behooves them not to heal us. This has been proven so many times, over and over again with scandal after scandal. It’s all about profit.

Even if the efficacy of vaccinations could be proven throughout history, we cannot recommend anyone inject something directly into their bloodstream that is sourced from corporations that have proven time and time again that they do not care about our health and wellbeing.

Research to Advance Vaccine Safety

As the debate about vaccine safety intensifies, new laws have been passed to protect the pharmaceutical companies from litigation. No new laws have been passed to protect the victims of vaccine injury. Against rising proof that vaccines are unsafe and linked to autism, ADHD, and other serious outcomes, the same mantra is repeated by government sources—that there is no proof of cause and effect between vaccinations and health concerns.

Now let’s get real. The truth is, risks have always been known and accepted. Every parent who signs a vaccination form and bothers to read it, knows that they are risking their child’s life by agreeing to a vaccination. I will never forget the dread I felt signing those forms. Oh the risk was slight, but my child could contract the very disease I was vaccinating against or encephalitis or another complication. And death? Oh yes, that was listed as a possible outcome. And as this fact was sinking in, the nurse was pushing me to sign, telling me it was perfectly safe. I felt like I was sending my child outside to run back and forth across the street in hopes he would not get hit by a car. After all, the odds were on his side for that risk as well.

When my ADHD child was 3 and I told the testing psychologist I was going to try diet management (rather than the Ritalin he wanted to prescribe) he told me the link between diet and ADHD was nonsense and he had a study to prove it. When diet mnagement worked, with amazing and immediate results, he didn’t want to see the proof or witness the change in behavior. We do not as yet have good solid research to prove a link between autism and vaccines, but all you have to do is speak to a parent of a bright, verbal toddler who, after a vaccination, suddenly lost both speech and normal behavior to know the link is real. It is an dramatic cause and effect, witnessed over and over and over again by parents across the country.

I work for non-profit organizations, writing grant proposals. One of my jobs is to search grant databases, including grants.gov, the site for federal grant opportunities. Today I stumbled across two requests for proposals from the Department of Social and Health Services, grant opportunities to research vaccine safety.

One announcement reads, “This R21 research opportunity invites studies that address scientific areas potentially relevant to vaccine safety such as 1) physiological and immunological responses to vaccines and vaccine components, 2) how genetic variations affect immune/physiological responses that may impact vaccine safety, 3) identification of risk factors and biological markers that may be used to assess whether there is a relationship between certain diseases or disorders and licensed vaccines, or 4) the application of genomic/molecular technologies to improve knowledge of vaccine safety.”

Our government may be continuing to deny the link between autism and vaccines, but at least they are funding research.




Sick Society

And the ramifications of the choices we make within our sick society

We live in a sick, sick society. And yes, I mean that literally as well as figuratively. We put toxins in our water through pollution and through fluoridation. We alter and process food until it doesn’t resemble its original components and loses all of its nutrition, then we put a little artificial nutrition back in before adding artificial coloring, preservatives, and flavorings to make it taste better and look inviting while increasing its shelf life.  We send our children to schools that feed them this processed garbage once or twice a day.

Most of us believe the FDA protects us, so we feed our children sugared cereal made from genetically modified corn for their breakfast along with pasteurized juice and milk from cows shot full of rBGH. Maybe we add a little fruit sprayed with herbicides and pesticides. For lunch our kids eat fast food with plenty of trans fats. Dinner comes out of a can, a box, or a frozen packet and is often irradiated. Oh and don’t forget the snacks: sugar filled sodas, cakes, cookies, and candy. We are raising a generation of children whose sugar and toxin intake negates their immune systems and their exposure to real foods is so negligible they cannot recognize or name most of our vegetables and fruits.

Next come the pharmaceuticals. We vaccinate our children with dirty, toxic vaccines. Our children get sick (need I repeat why?) and we treat their symptoms (not the cause) with over-the-counter drugs and prescription drugs. Our children exhibit behavior and mental health problems. Rather than clean up their diets and detoxify their bodies, we give them more drugs. At some point we may not be given a choice. If our child has cancer or another serious disease or is diagnosed with a mental illness we may be forced by Child Protective Services or the courts to follow conventional treatment including chemotherapy or psychotropic drugs. If we choose not to vaccinate, we may be forced by law to comply.

Pharmaceuticals, both over the counter and prescriptive, are marketed to us through television and print media. We are encouraged (brainwashed?) to improve our lives with the use of sleeping pills, tranquilizers, anti-depressive drugs, and stimulants. Our society demands that we be the best we can be through the use of these pills. And yet, cancer is at an all time high. ADHD, autism, and Alzheimer’s are epidemic.

We are cogs in the wheel of the 21st century economic machine. Wherever we turn, the typical American lifestyle is ruled by the interests of big business: the food industry, the pharmaceutical industry, and the health care industry. Poor health is a profitable outcome for all three. Processed food is cheap to buy and cheaper to make. It yields enormous profits. Factory farming is profitable. Huge farming enterprises raising crops with chemicals on land stripped of nutrients are profitable. Pharmaceuticals are criminally profitable. The medical industry is fed by illness and married to pharmaceuticals. The cycle goes round and round. And the powers that be continue in their efforts to shut down naturopathic treatments including the sale of vitamins and supplements.

The strange thing is, this same diseased society that embraces conventional treatment is punitive and vengeful to those who use these prescription drugs. Are you aware that the use of a prescription drug may be the deciding factor of whether you spend the next fifteen to twenty years in prison if you are involved in a fatal accident? Even though you took that drug as prescribed?

In the State of Georgia, drivers involved in fatal crashes can be charged with a misdemeanor, second degree homicide by vehicle or with a felony, first degree homicide by a vehicle.  If charged in the second degree, the driver can face up to a year in prison and a $1,000 fine. If charged with first degree, the driver faces three to fifteen years (or up to twenty if the offender is found to be habitual).

So what constitutes a first degree crime in this instance? The law includes cases of death involving fleeing a police officer, failure to stop for a school bus, hit and run, previously being declared a habitual offender, reckless driving, or driving under the influence of drugs or alcohol.

Again, drugs don’t have to be illegal drugs nor do prescription drugs have to be abused. If you take a prescription drug and are involved in a fatal accident, you could be in trouble.

Michael Edwards (editor-in-chief) met a man who was sentenced to ten years in prison due to a sleeping pill prescription. He hadn’t taken the medication for several days before the accident, but the medication was the basis for a first degree charge. A recent case was bumped up to first degree when it was learned that the driver was prescribed Adderol for ADD.

We have a choice, a huge choice. We can continue to be a cog in the wheel or we can choose health—real health. We can eat real food, unadulterated, organic fruits and vegetables. Organic grains. Organic meats and raw dairy. We  have to fight to keep these foods available. We have to care about the foods given to children in our schools. We have to demand our rights to refuse medications, to choose whether or not to vaccinate, to demand, at the very least, that vaccinations be pure, that they are not tainted with mercury or other toxic substances. We have to demand that pharmaceutical companies are held responsible if they fail to provide safe vaccinations and medications.

The incarceration rate is obscene and rising. Justice has become a joke in this country. Once upon a time, an accident was an accident. A painful, horrific reality for a driver who lost control of a vehicle. Today, an accident is an opportunity to incarcerate someone, even if there was no negligence, criminal intent, or criminal wrongdoing.

When you choose your lifestyle, look at the whole picture. Which do you choose? If you choose an unhealthy lifestyle maintained through pills, be aware that your choices may sentence you to years in prison if, God forbid, the worst happens. An accident may be just that—an accident. Your choices are not.
