Does the Vaccine Matter? - NewsGrabs Monday, 19 October 2009
Lots of buzz throughout the internet on vaccines and their damaging side effects, as forced swine flu vaccination draws closer. The whole concept of vaccination and even the holy cow of the germ theory of disease are being questioned with increasing insistence from various quarters. Perhaps health authorities are overdoing it when they require everyone to take an unproven preventive intervention that may be doing more harm in the long term than it prevents in the short ...
Does the Vaccine Matter?
The other possibility, of course, is that we're relying heavily on vaccines and antivirals that simply don't work, or don't work as well as we believe. And as a result, we may be neglecting other, proven measures that could minimize the death rate during pandemics."Vaccines give us a false sense of security," says Sumit Majumdar. "When you have a strategy that [everybody thinks] reduces death by 50 percent, it's pretty hard to invest resources to come up with better remedies."
In the absence of better evidence, vaccines and antivirals must be viewed as only partial and uncertain defenses against the flu. And they may be mere talismans. By being afraid to do the proper studies now, we may be condemning ourselves to using treatments based on illusion and faith rather than sound science.

"We have thousands of cases and we can show all vaccines are causing the exact same problem," said Dr. Andrew Moulden, M.D., a Canadian physician gathering evidence to support a class action lawsuit.
Do Vaccines Disable The Immune System?
The only event that all infants routinely encounter at two months of age is vaccination with at least five different vaccines (Diphtheria-Tetanus-Pertussis-Polio-Haemophilus). They are repeated at four months. Could this simple fact explain the onset of the recurrent illnesses that plague so many infants? If vaccines stimulate antibody production to fight diseases, why would they weaken the immune system? Is there any evidence that vaccines do cause illness and immune system dysfunction?
Death by Vaccines - Vaccine Timeline
Dr. Young has stated that the use of vaccinations, antibiotics and antifungals will only poison the body leading to the one sickness and one disease - latent tissue acidosis and then death.
Virology is Religion
By placing the cause of illness outside the human body, in the atmospheric environment, Pasteur was reaffirming man's original purity, in the Garden of Eden. God has created man pure, without contamination of any kind: thus "evil" - which, in this conception, takes the form of sickness - can only come from without. In this world-view, both health and sickness come from outside of man and are exterior and alien to him.The same vehemence that led Galileo to be condemned by the Church for his theories, in spite of the scientifically demonstrable facts, is now being used by medicine to reject any thesis that is contrary to its own dogmas. Science has learned its lessons well from the Church, it seems.

Video: Vitamin D Prevents Cancer
In a new study, researchers at the UCSD School of Medicine and Moores Cancer Center used a complex computer prediction model to determine that intake of vitamin D3 and calcium would prevent 58,000 new cases of breast cancer and 49,000 new cases of colorectal cancer annually in the US and Canada. The researchers model also predicted that 75% of deaths from these cancers could be prevented with adequate intake of vitamin D3 and calcium.
HEALING THROUGH OIL-PULLING
(link from stephentvedten.blogspot.com - blog censored by Blogger. Check out his other site at http://www.stephentvedten.com/ )
The healing process is accomplished by the human organism on its own. In this way it is possible to heal cells, tissue and all organs simultaneously; the body itself gets rid of toxic waste without disturbing the healthy microflora.
Why Macrobiotics is my Favorite Big Word - A children's book by Emma Holister
Hello, my name is Lucy and I like big words. Sometimes people don't understand what I'm saying . . . So I'll try not to use too many big words.
One of my first ever favorite big words was 'vegetarian'. I'm a vegetarian. I don't eat meat because I like animals and I don't want to eat them, if you see what I mean.
Conventional Vs Alternative Medicine
Our culture has allowed the health care industry to become so powerful and disproportionately lucrative that it is now in the business of illness rather than health. In one disconcerting example, a cancer physician, returning from an extended vacation, found an empty waiting room. His colleague had been treating his patients nutritionally. The physician wailed, "This is terrible. It took me years to build a long-term, regular patient clientele!" People everywhere are realizing that our doctors receive no reward for health, only for treating illness.
Antibiotic damage to the microflora environment
Back in the mid-60s I was startled to discover that a newly-automated plant in the UK was producing 55,000 gallons of antibiotic per day – just one plant! And nearly all of that output was going into farmed animals.The use of antibiotics in cattle has been directly connected to the development of an antibiotic-resistant strain of E. Coli - 0157-H7. Now there are hundreds of thousands of human infections per year with this bacterium alone.
Powerful drug called Placebo reduces real pain
Scientist know that when people experience a decrease in pain from a placebo, certain compounds, called endorphins, are released in their brains. But they don't know exactly how the release of those compounds leads to pain reduction.
Common Pain Cream Could Protect Heart During Attack
Keith Jones, PhD, a researcher in the department of pharmacology and cell biophysics, and scientists in his lab have found that applying capsaicin to specific skin locations in mice caused sensory nerves in the skin to trigger signals in the nervous system. These signals activate cellular "pro-survival" pathways in the heart which protect the muscle.
Capsaicin is the main component of chili peppers and produces a hot sensation. It is also the active ingredient in several topical medications used for temporary pain relief.Researchers observed an 85 percent reduction in cardiac cell death when capsaicin was used.
Cut yourself? Sprinkling SUGAR on wound heals it faster
Billions of pounds that is currently spent on medicines could be saved if the treatment is adopted by the NHS. Moses added: 'I was happy for the patients who suffer from terrible and debilitating wounds with little hope of getting better, as this treatment can ease their pain. I would really like to see sugar treatment used in many more places because I know that it works.'
Ireland to become GM Free Zone
The agreement specifies that the Government will "Declare the Republic of Ireland a GM-Free Zone, free from the cultivation of all GM plants". The official text also states "To optimise Ireland's competitive advantage as a GM-Free country, we will introduce a voluntary GM-Free logo for use in all relevant product labelling and advertising, similar to a scheme recently introduced in Germany."
Bill Gates Blames Hunger in Africa on Anti-GMO Environmentalists
The fight to end hunger is being hurt by environmentalists who insist that genetically modified crops cannot be used in Africa, Bill Gates, the billionaire founder of software giant Microsoft, said on Thursday.Gates said GMO crops, fertilizer and chemicals are important tools -- although not the only tools -- to help small farms in Africa boost production.
Poor Bill - he's lost his marbles. GM has NOT been shown to increase yield in any significant way. It only increases the use of expensive and largely toxic chemicals. Perhaps Bill Gates has too much money invested in Monsanto and other agri-chemical stocks?
Miami Herald: Florida: Foster kids, prescriptions -- finally alarm
Committee Chair Rhonda Storms told reporters, "I cannot accept or believe that a little child cannot be reached except by drugging him and drugging him and drugging him.''A vigilant, caring parent would have questioned a pharmaceutical solution to the little boy's behavior. Child advocate Andrea Moore read the task force report and worried that the doctors had responded more to bureaucratic needs of the system than the therapeutic needs of children. About 22 percent of the foster children aged 6 to 12, and a third of foster kids 13 to 17, are on psychiatric drugs.
Philadelphia Inquirer: Glaxo must pay $2.5M in Paxil case
The verdict is the first in 600 cases alleging that London-based Glaxo knew Paxil caused birth defects and hid those risks to boost profits.The drug, approved for U.S. use in 1992, generated about $942 million in sales last year.
Australia: ADHD drugs 'made 30 children suicidal'
One seven-year-old boy became so depressed while taking Ritalin in 2008 that he tried to commit suicide while an eight-year-old hallucinated that spiders were crawling up his skin after taking ADHD drugs, the report said. The number of serious reactions to ADHD drugs has doubled in a three-year period, according to Therapeutic Goods Administration figures.
Pharm Parties - America's Pharma-Dependent Culture
The basic idea is kids get their hands on whatever prescription medication they can--statins, anti-depressants, painkillers, antipsychotics and so on--and dump them into a bowl at a party. Then they go around taking them willy-nilly without a clue as to what they are taking or to dangerous interactions.
Mumps Vaccine: Perceptions and Emerging Realities
Mumps outbreaks are occurring in highly vaccinated populations and this has led to differences in opinion amongst scientists around the efficacy of the vaccine, with various mechanisms of failure being put forward.
. . .So what is causing some recipients of two doses of MMR to contract mumps? How many boosters will be required to protect the public health? Can this be considered a successful public health strategy with so many unknowns?
And why in the world is there only one solution ever considered for vaccine failure…more vaccination with the same vaccine that already failed?
Is Merck's Gardasil Linked To Lou Gehrig's Disease?
A possible link was reported between Gardasil and two fatal cases of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, or ALS, which is also known as Lou Gehrig's disease. Both the timing of the symptoms and autopsy results "suggest a link," according to Dr. Catherine Lomen-Hoerth, who directs the ALS Center at the University of California San Francisco Medical Center. "We don't know for sure if it's coincidence or if they're connected (to the vaccine)," she tells WebMD. "We hope that by raising awareness, we will become aware of any other cases."
Lawsuit seeks to halt US swine flu vaccination campaign
"None of the vaccines against H1N1 have been properly tested," attorney Jim Turner, one of half a dozen lawyers working on the case, told AFP.The complaint filed Thursday argued that far from preventing a massive outbreak of swine flu, the "live attenuated influenza virus nasal mist vaccine could trigger" an H1N1 pandemic.
"I don't know of another live vaccine for flu. So you have immediately a new problem you don't have with a killed vaccine," Turner told AFP.
CDC Admits Thousands May Be Harmed By Swine Flu Vaccine
According to the CDC: As many as 30,000 Americans will be harmed by the H1N1 vaccine.And according to the FDA: The vaccine may be ineffective for at least 7 out of 10 people that receive it.
The Swine Flu Vaccine Kills
A leaked letter reveals concern of neurologists over 25 deaths in America.A warning that the new swine flu vaccine is linked to a deadly nerve disease has been sent by the Government to senior neurologists in a confidential letter.
Vaccine Information Center Launches Research Fund to Study Health & Vaccination
700 parents and health care workers traveled from 44 states and 11 nations to attend the groundbreaking Fourth International Public Conference on Vaccination sponsored by the National Vaccine Information Center. The historic conference featured presentations by more than 40 world experts in the areas of vaccine science, policy, law, and ethics and raised more than $100,000 to launch an international fund raising campaign for scientific research to investigate health differences between vaccinated and unvaccinated children and identify those at risk for suffering vaccine injury.Video: Barbara Loe Fisher of NVIC about the conference
Germany: Army gets swine flu vaccines without additives
The A/H1N1 flu shots given to soldiers will contain neither a controversial strengthening additive, nor the preservative agent mercury, both of which are contained in the shots for the general public.Additive-free Celvapan, manufactured by the US pharmaceutical company Baxter, was approved on October 6 for use in the European Union.
Some doctors have warned of unforeseeable side effects to the other EU-approved vaccines Pandemrix, made by British firm GlaxoSmithKline, and Focetria, manufactured by Swiss company Novartis.
However, there are no studies comparing the side effects, according to the Paul Ehrlich Institute, which oversees drug registration and safety in Germany.
No studies comparing the side effects? Someone sleeping a the helm?
CAN VITAMIN D HELP PREVENT H1N1 SWINE FLU FROM SPREADING?
It seems simple enough to understand. A well person contracts swine flu from a sick person, who, once sick, passes it along to another.While there are many viral illnesses that have been proven to spread from sick to well, such as the measles, the flu is not one of them. In fact, every time scientists try to prove the point, they can't. Epidemiologists can't show it either. Rather, science points in the direction that a susceptible population of well people, possibly those deficient in vitamin D, are responsible for the rapid spreading of the flu each year.
A 2008 article published in the Virology Journal by John Cannell, et al., titled On the Epidemiology of Influenza reviews the above Navy study and dives into the data that fails to add up to a clear picture of sick-to-well viral spreading of the flu – flying in the face of public health dogma.
Great expectations for a new energy based global currency
I believe that Obama has a chance, in the next few months, to justify the Norwegian Nobel Peace Prize committee's confidence in him by beginning to address the global financial system, global policy on climate change, and global peace, through one simple unifying theme: energy.The US should use energy and knowledge diplomacy to lead the development of a global energy economy, to which the key is the adoption of an Energy Standard.
Thomas Greco's "The End of Money and the Future of Civilization": A Review by Richard C. Cook
Now, after the Treasury bond bubble of 2009, there is nothing left in America to inflate. With so many jobs gone, the American family home was the last thing of value we owned.So the air is going out of the tires. Americans who are struggling to work for a living are passive spectators as their jobs, savings, health insurance, pensions, and homes continue to erode in value or even disappear. Last Sunday the Washington Post reported a massive crisis in state and local government pensions. Reporter David Cho wrote, "The financial crisis has blown a hole in the rosy forecasts of pension funds that cover teachers, police officers and other government employees, casting into doubt as never before whether these public systems will be able to keep their promises to future generations of retirees."
