Swine Flu Vaccine Alert

This morning, October 9, 2009, a comment on the news made me perk up and listen.

It seems that the swine flu vaccine contains mercury. If you want mercury-free vaccine, you have to make a special request. Not only do you have to request it, but you have to wait, because it isn’t yet available.

Why is this a worry? Because flu vaccine that contains mercury represents an enormous risk to your mental acuity. A study done by Hugh Fudenburg, MD, a leading immunogeneticist who has published some 850 peer-reviewed papers, revealed “If an individual had 5 consecutive flu shots between 1970 and 1980, the chances of Alzheimer’s Disease was 10 times greater than for those getting . . . no shots.” (Fudenburg, H MD, Hazards of vaccines. J Clin Investigation, vol 4, P 97-105, 2000)

I think this information is serious enough to warrant wide dissemination. However, when I brought the statistic up to Dr. Rosenfeld on Fox News, who has a segment called “Sunday House Call” and who is a passionate advocate of vaccination, his response was “The CDC doesn’t acknowledge that study.  It’s meaningless.”  My questions:  Why doesn’t the CDC acknowledge statistics that are so alarming?  Is there something operating behind the scenes of which we are unaware?  It has already come to light that the CDC is susceptible to political pressure.  (Example:  the inaccuracy of the Body Mass Index.  See my article “Body Mass Index Invalid” for the details)

Of the greatest concern to me about the “nasal mist” swine flu vaccine is that it contains live, attenuated virus.  Yikes!  This is the same type of preparation that was outlawed in the 1990s for causing polio in the U.S.  My nephew was a victim of that vaccine.  Furthermore, a live vaccine — even if attenuated — has the ability to incorporate itself into our genes.   That was one of the primary objections of virologists (scientists who study viruses) when the concept of live-virus vaccines was first introduced in the 1950s. Their voices were quickly drowned out by the flood of funding for research and marketing of vaccines.  We now see the end result: government backing of a flood of potentially toxic vaccines. Furthermore, you inhale this mist, providing a direct route for the mercury to travel to your brain via the olfactory nerve.  This mechanism was demonstrated in Alzheimer’s research (see my article “Aluminum Toxicity” for more information).

The only solution that I see is to avoid vaccines.  They all have side effects.  Documented side effects of influenza vaccine include Guillain-Barre syndrome, which demyelinates the peripheral nerves, pleurisy, fever and illness.  It is very difficult to find documentation regarding vaccine side effects, since the drug companies suppress this information.  A good resource for more on this topic is Dr. Tim O’Shea (TheDoctorWithin) who wrote an excellent book The Sanctity of Human Blood: Vaccination is NOT Immunization.  In 2008, it was in its 12th edition, and there may be a newer version available, so I recommend you order the book directly from  his web site.

In addition, many others are raising warnings about the dangers of this vaccine (“Is The Swine Flu Vaccine Dangerous?“)  Even some medical doctors have come forward and acknowledged that this vaccine may be more dangerous than the illness, which is relatively mild and self-limiting.  Unfortunately, I have only heard these comments on the radio, but was not able to provide you an internet link.

Educate yourself; protect yourself and your family. Become an informed health care consumer.  If you do become ill, call the office for a treatment to boost your immune system and shorten your convalescence.  (See “Avian Flu” on this blog for more info)  We also have herbs that specifically target the influenza virus.  You can begin taking Medi-Herb St. John’s Wort (2 per day) immediately for prophylaxis.  I also recommend 2 Echinacea Premium daily to up-regulate your immune vigilance.

URGENT HEALTH CARE ALERT!

This just came across my desk. It is a chart of the new bureaucracies created by the proposals currently on the table in Congress – an ObamaCare nightmare!

Obama's Health Care Bureaucracy

Although not entirely legible (enlarging it doesn’t help), there are some things you should know. It was compiled by economists on the House Joint Economic Committee, who went through the legislation line by line and spotlighted all the new agencies created by this bill. They then went through the bill a second time just to make sure this chart is accurate.

The color white represents existing agencies. All of the colored squares are new bureaucracies created by the legislation. Scary, isn’t it? The language of the bill may be legalistic gobbledy-gook, but in this case, a picture is worth a million words!

Even worse, the Democratic majority in Congress is preventing the dissemination of this chart – calling it “inaccurate.” They know the chart presented at the time President Clinton was trying to introduce national health care meant the end of the bill. And, that chart looks like a walk in the park compared to this maze.

Do your part. Share this information with everyone you know and encourage everyone to deluge Congress with faxes, emails and phone calls. Overwhelming members of Congress with our objections is our only hope of stopping this nightmare.

The Pancreatic Cancer Scourge

The recent death of Patrick Swayze hit me hard.  He was younger than I, and has always seemed to me to be a person who stood up for honor and integrity.  But, what hit me hardest was how unnecessary it was.  The second hit for me was an oncologist praising Swayze’s two-year survival after diagnosis as an “achievement.”  Why did I find that so upsetting?  Read on, I think you’ll agree.

Current medical practice mandates aspirin for anyone who has “risk factors” for heart disease.  Just being older and male is now a risk factor, and almost all men over the age of 40 are now prescribed a daily aspirin.  Seems harmless, doesn’t it?  The truth, however, is far different.

As I pointed out years ago, the Nurses’ Longitudinal Health Study clearly showed an enormous increase in the risk for pancreatic cancer with aspirin use.  And, it didn’t even have to be daily!  An aspirin once or twice a week increased the risk 58%.  (See my article “An Aspirin A Day Can Give You Cancer” for more details.)

Have you heard anything about these appalling statistics?  I think not, because the information was quickly buried.  Why would people be encouraged to take a substance that causes an incurable disease?  Why are these facts being ignored?  I have my own opinion — particularly in light of the fact that vitamins and herbs (safe, natural substances) are continually characterized as “dangerous” and “deadly.”

I believe that the drug companies are criminally responsible for the deaths of millions of people — particularly when they ignore data from their own studies.  Protect yourself and your family.  Question every drug that is prescribed.  Look up potential side effects.  If you’re not clear, make an appointment to consult me regarding your health condition and learn what alternatives are available.  And remember:  What we hear in the media and read on the internet is heavily filtered by drug company interests, particularly on sites like WebMD.

Protect Your Access to Health Care

Have you been paying attention to the information coming out about the Health Care Plan as people have the opportunity to read the bill?

This morning (July 28, 2009), I heard something horrifying.  The bill contains provision for a 5-person panel of unelected “health care experts” who will determine what health care services are provided under the government plan and what doctors will be paid for those services.  This is alarming for a number of reasons:

1)  These unelected officials do not have to be doctors, nor will they be accessible to the wishes of the American public.

2)  Your doctor will not be able to choose the best treatment for your health condition, because the particular treatment will be mandated based upon cost, and perceived benefit.  If you are too elderly or too ill, your treatments will be denied.  The new talking point is that 25% of all health care costs are spent on the elderly who, after all, are going to die anyway.  So, it’s a waste of resources.

3)  Access to alternative care is not currently included in this plan.  So, if you value true, health-building options, they will not be available to you.  And, with the increased taxes needed to fund this enormous power-grab by the government, even if the law permits private fee-for-service arrangements, none of us may be able to afford it.  Not to mention the fact that the plan as originally presented did not include alternative care.  I don’t know what the status is currently; and, like everyone else, I can’t get a straight answer out of my Representative’s office.  I suspect that is because nobody really knows.

4)  The mechanism of this panel is that they will present their pronouncements on health care to Congress, which will have 30 days to object.  After that 30-day period, whatever new restrictions have been promulgated will automatically become law.  The kicker in this is that it gives our elected representatives “cover.”  If their constituents are unhappy, they can simply protest that they had no power over whatever is objectionable.

5)  Finally, and perhaps most alarmingly, is the extraordinarily complicated bureaucracy imposed by this boondoggle.  See GrassFire.org for a chart of what the bill provides.  What has been your personal experience at the U.S. Post Office or the Department of Motor Vehicles?  Cheer up!  That experience is coming soon to a health care facility near you.

I don’t believe it is possible to overstate the dangers of this legislation.  So, I urge you to make your voice heard.  Contact your Representative and Senators.  Sign on-line petitions opposing the plan.  (see GrassFire.org, as well as Townhall.com at the top of the page.)  Don’t sit on the sidelines.  Time is short and our freedom of choice is at stake.
