fishcmf,
You might find it strange then that The Hunzas had no vaccination programme for themselves or their infants, and who had an extremely low rate of mortality, and/or that the Eskimos and North American Indians had not experienced disease before the arrival of the white man.
I agree that the Europeans introduced many diseases that Native Americans had no natural immunity for. This was also one of the early examples of biological warfare when they provided tribes with blankets infected with smallpox. Too bad medicine had not advanced to the point where a vaccine could have protected them. Our babies have little passive immunity to the diseases endemic in the US. That's why we vaccinate.
There are diseases in parts of the world that are not endemic to the United States, such as a strain of Menigitis prevalent in Sub Saharan Africa. Natural Polio has not occured in the US in some time but we continue to vaccinate because these diseases are a plane ride away. If the anti-vaccine movement continues to grow, we won't even have to worry about the plane.
Bad enough we gave the poor Indians smallpox - at least we didn't also give them vaccinations!
"I have thought many times of all of the insane things we have advocated in medicine, that is one of the most insane - to insist on the vaccination of children, or anybody else, for the prevention of smallpox when, as a matter of fact, we are never able to prove that vaccination saved one man from smallpox." USA 1937, Dr. William Hay in his address to the Medical Freedom Society on the Lemke bill to abolish compulsory vaccination
"Vaccination is a monstrosity, a misbegotten offspring of error and ignorance; it should have no place in either hygiene or medicine.... Believe not in vaccination, it is a world wide delusion, an unscientific practice, a fatal superstition with consequences measured today by tears and sorrow without end." Charles Rauta, Professor of Hygiene and Material Medical in the University of Perguia, New York Journal of Medicine in July 1899
"Immunization against smallpox is more hazardous than the disease itself." Professor Ari Zuckerman, a member of the World Health Organization advisory panel on viruses.
"It is now accepted that the risks of routine smallpox vaccination outweigh those of natural infection in Britain." The British medical Journal in January 1976
"I have been saying for some years that the use of live vaccines such as that used from smallpox can activate a dormant infection such as that from AIDS (HIV)." Doctor Robert Gallo a well known AIDS researcher
You're right, NATURAL polio has not happened in years - but unnatural polio induced by the vaccines has, bpth here and in polio outbreaks in Africa. Many professionals believe that more people in the United States will end up dying from cancer than were saved from polio due to the SV40 virus (the carcinogenic Simian Virus 40 in found in the Rhesus monkey cells used to make polio vaccines) which contaminated polio vaccines which were used all the way up to the 1990's.
DQ--You're taking my words out of context. Shame on you. Not advocating Smallpox Vaccine. Just simply vaccines in general. It was in response to the previous post stating that Native Americans were disease free until the white man (I prefer Europeans...it just seems to sound better.) Native Americans...no natural immunity..yada yada yada.
"You're right, NATURAL polio has not happened in years - but unnatural polio induced by the vaccines has, bpth here and in polio outbreaks in Africa.

Here is some mainstream studies (Mainstream meaning thousands of cases vs. like 12)
In 1998, the National Cancer Institute published findings from a study (Strickler et al., 1998) that revealed that, after 30 years, there was no increased incidence of cancer in persons who may have received vaccine containing SV40. The study used the National Cancer Institute's SEER database, which contains information on more than 2.5 million cancer cases in the U.S., and the Connecticut Tumor Registry, and included millions of people exposed to contaminated poliovirus vaccine and decades of cancer incidence and mortality data. Comparisons of the rates of cancer were made between persons who had received SV40-contaminated vaccine as infants born in 1956–1962 and persons born in 1947–1952 and 1964–1969. This study looked specifically for types of rare cancers that have been found to contain SV40 in recent cellular research (Carbone et al., 1994) and found no significant increased incidence compared with persons who had not received contaminated SV40 vaccine. The rare cancers included ependymomas (cancer of cells found in developing fetal neural tubes from which the brain and spinal cord arise as a baby develops), osteosarcomas (a type of bone cancer), mesotheliomas (a type of cancer that originates in the tissue lining of the lung cavity) and brain cancers.
Olin et al. (1998), conducted a long-term follow-up study of 700,000 people in Sweden who received polio vaccine potentially contaminated with SV40 in 1957 as school-age children. Their results revealed no increased cancer incidence between persons who received vaccine containing SV40 and those who did not.
Geissler (1988) analyzed German National Cancer Registry data to compare the incidence of cancer in 885,783 persons born between 1959–1961 who received polio vaccine that may have been contaminated with SV40 and compared it with 891,321 persons born between 1962–1964 who received SV40-free vaccine. These data demonstrated that persons who received polio vaccine possibly contaminated with SV40 did not develop more tumors within a 20-year period than did those who received vaccine that did not contain SV40.
Mortimer (1981) studied cancer deaths of 1,073 persons born between 1960–1962 who received oral poliovirus or inactivated poliovirus vaccine that contained SV40 when newborn. The follow-up study over 17–19 years revealed no increased number of deaths from cancer. In 2001, a 35-year follow-up study of this group was published. The study found no deaths in the group due to tumors of the type that have been associated with SV40 (Carroll-Pankhurst, 2001).
Fraumeni et al. (1970) followed 1,000 persons who had received SV40 contaminated poliovirus vaccine within a few days after birth. The majority of these people received the SV40-contaminated oral vaccine. At 8 years of age, no cancer deaths were identified in the exposed group.
Fraumeni et al. (1963) focused on a cohort of children age 6–8 years who received inactivated poliovirus vaccine in 1955. A comparison was made based on whether children received vaccine with high, low or no detectable amount of SV40 contamination. Mortality rates from leukemia and all other cancers from 1950–1959 were compared across the three groups. No differences in cancer rates were found for this period.
Let me guess your rebuttal. Corporate Pigs, Big Pharma, Blah Blah Blah. Am I on point?
Regardless...I am too skeptical to believe conspiracies. I have to see the clinical info.

Out of context? It was you who specifically mentioned the contamination of native Americans with small pox and lamented how it was too bad there had not been a small pox vaccine that would have protected them, so how is it out of context for me to respond with information and quotes on small pox and small pox vaccines?
~It was absolutely taken out of context if you think I support, or ever supported, routine smallpox vaccinations. I DO NOT support immunizing our children with the Smallpox Vaccine because the risks outweight the rewards. Regardless, too bad the Native Americans didn't have it because the disease was specifically used to target and kill them (and it worked). We vaccinate the military for Anthrax but it won't be included on the ACIP recommended schedule for immunizations. Hey, I guess we've come across another vaccine benefit. Potential protection from Biological Terrorism.
Also, in response to my listing many follow up studies regarding SV40 in polio, you said I raised an eyebrow because I am alleging there is no link to SV40 virus in Polio and cancer. Never said that. I just can't find clinical evidence of one. I am not completely against the people on this post. If a vaccine is proven to be risky-ie. Smallpox, stop immunizing with it immediately. Your rebuttal was an article written by a lawyer who filed a lawsuit on behalf of his son.
I am glad to see that you admit that at least some vaccines have greater potential risks than rewards. That is exactly my point and why many of us feel that way about most vaccines. The known risks are bad enough - the ones that have not yet been studied or reveald could be horrific.
"Vaccination is a medical procedure that causes permanent and irreversible modification of the immune system - "Vaccination - A business based on fear" Dr. G. Buchwald
Regardless of who wrote the article, that does not make the facts or studies he included any less valid.
I concede your point about smallpox and the Indians and stand corrected - though I would not have wished the smallpox vaccination on them.

20 Reasons Not To Take The Small Pox Vaccination..........
1. George W. Bush has said of smallpox vaccination: "One of my concerns if we were to have universal vaccination, some might lose their life." ~The Times (in London), November 09, 2001.
2. For each million people vaccinated with the smallpox vaccine, as many as 250 could die, according to the American Medical Association. Multiply 250 times 285 (millions of Americans) and the possible deaths from universal smallpox vaccination could equal 71,250. ~ Journal of the American Medical Association, June 9, 1999, Vol. 281, No. 22, p. 2132.
3. "The American Medical Association said on Tuesday it was not in favor of an immediate mass U. S. smallpox vaccination program, saying the potential threat of a bioterror attack did not warrant inoculating every American against the disease." ~Reuters, December 12, 2001.
4. "Right now the risk of getting the vaccine is higher than the benefit. You could get a secondary infection, a full-blown systemic infection." ~Marie Rau, Panhandle Health District nurse, quoted by The Spokesman-Review, November 20, 2001.
5. CDC director Jeffrey Koplan has admitted that universal smallpox vaccination could unleash a significant number of side-effects. He said that because many parts of ourpopulation do not have a"robust immune system," a fair number of people could have serious reactions. ~Koplan speaking on the PBS special "Bioterror Propaganda" aired by WETA, November 14, 2001.
6. If the entire nation were to receive a smallpox vaccine, several thousand people would likely develop encephalitis, an inflammation of the brain. ~Washington Post, Dec. 26, 2001.
7. Roger J. Pomerantz, chief of the infectious disease department at Thomas Jefferson University in Philadelphia, said that doctors have no idea what the smallpox vaccine might do to people at the extremes of life--less than 2 and older than 65. He said that an even greater concern would be its effect on people with weakened immune systems from HIV infection, chemotherapy or transplants. ~Washington Post, Dec. 26, 2001.
8. "Researchers have been reluctant to recommend a new vaccination program which would use the smallpox vaccine for the local population because the vaccine can cause disease and death in persons with inadequate immune systems." ~Science, Vol. 277, July 18, 1997, pp. 312-13.
9. Routine smallpox vaccination in the United States ended in 1972. Officials are hesitant to resume the immunizations because the vaccine is the most reactive of all and has been linked to serious side effects, including death. ~ Reuters, November 29, 2001.
10. Eight printed pages of medical studies documenting the many serious side effects of smallpox vaccination can be obtained at.............
See "smallpox vaccine adverse reactions 66-76." [Note: go to the home page above and put "smallpox vaccine adverse reaction" in the search engine.] Repercussions include serious brain and heart diseases, autism, abnormal chromosomal changes, diabetes, various cancers and leukemias, plus demyelination of nerve tissue years after vaccination.
11. The U. S. Supreme Court has ruled that vaccination must not be forced on persons whose physical condition would make such vaccination "cruel and inhuman." In other words, the state has no right to command that an individual sacrifice his life in the name of public health. ~Jacobsen V. Massachusettes, 197 U. S. 11 (1905).
12. By the 1920s, several British medical researchers documented that smallpox was not only more common among the VACCINATED, but that the DEATH RATE from smallpox was actually higher among those who had been vaccinated. This indicates that the vaccine was ineffective and predisposed vaccinated persons to more lethal disease. ~Vaccination, Dr. Viera Scheibner, Australia, 1993, pp. 205-220. 13. Getting a vaccination does not guarantee immunity. ~CDC, January 28, 1994.
14. By 1987, scientific evidence indicated that the World Health Organization's 13-year global smallpox vaccination campaign may have awakened dormant HIV infection in many vaccinees. ~Times (in London) May 11,
1987.
15. Vaccines made from animal substrate contain animal viruses that are impossible to filter out. By 1961, scientists discovered that animal viruses in vaccines, including smallpox, could act as a carcinogen when given to mice in combination with cancer-causing chemicals, even in amounts too small to induce tumors alone. They concluded that vaccine viruses function as a catalyst for tumor production. ~Science, December 15, 1961.
16. Some of the new smallpox vaccine doses will be created with animal substrate. Because the vaccine will incorporate vaccinia, the cowpox virus, many wonder about possible mad-cow contamination. Fifty-five million doses of the new vaccine will be created using a cell line dating back to 1966 and cultured from the lung tissues of an aborted human fetus. ~World Net Daily, December 4, 2001.
17. The new smallpox vaccine will be genetically engineered. Many scientists believe that genetically engineered vaccines may be responsible for the global epidemic of auto-immune disease and neurological dysfunction. ~American College of Rheumatology, annual meeting, Nov. 8-12, 1998. Merck's genetically engineered hepatitis B vaccine, Recombivax HB, is a classic example. According to Dr. Bonnie Dunbar of Baylor College of Medicine, many thousands of reported adverse reactions to the hepatitis B vaccine include: chronic fatigue, neurological disorders, rheumatoid arthritis, lupus and MS-like disease. ~Testimony of Dr. Dunbar to Texas Dept. of Health, March 12, 1999. Over 15,000 French citizens sued the French government to stop mandatory hepatitis B injections for school children because of resulting auto-immune diseases. ~Science, July 31, 1998. Dr. John Classen has published voluminous data showing that the hepatitis B and other vaccines are closely linked to the developme! nt of insulin dependent diabetes. ~Infectious Diseases in Clinical Practice, October 22, 1997.
18. The British vaccine manufacturer Medeva has a horrendous record of contamination and blunders. In 2000, the FDA found that Medeva was making vaccines in conditions of filth, resulting in contaminated products. Medeva had been illegally using bovine medium to culture its polio vaccines, then lied about it. Medeva also used the blood of a Creutzfeldt-Jakob victim (mad cow) to manufacture 83,000 doses of polio vaccine used for (against?) Irish children. Nevertheless, the FDA allowed the USA to accept Medeva's flu vaccine (Fluvirin) for the year 2000. ~London Observer series: October
20-26, 2000.
19. In 2001, the British socialized health care system was reported to be in a state of collapse, with many hospitals and labs operating in abysmal filth. Five thousand people die each year from infections contracted in British hospitals; 10,000 become deathly ill from such infections. Sterilization procedures are barely adequate and said to be risking the spread of mad cow disease. Government ministers are reportedly trying to hush up the scandal. ~www. itn. co. uk/ Jan 06, 2001; The Sunday Times of London, November 12, 2001.
20. The U. S. government apparently intends to conduct NO double blind studies on the safety and efficacy of the new smallpox vaccine. It has ordered 286 million doses, one for every man, woman and child in America at a cost of $428 million. At least half of this vaccine will be delivered by Acambis PLC of great Britain.
My own tip: Keep all vaccine needles away from your body!
"What are commonly called diseases are in reality "cures", and the common practice with drug doctors of 'controlling the symptoms,' is like answering the cries and gesticulations of a drowning man with a knock on the head"......Dr Charles E Page MD.
For the most part...you're preaching to the choir on the Smallpox Vaccine (See previous response to DQ). You had brought up the Native Americans and I pointed out that the "White Man" had brought disease to the Native Americans. I agree. Some diseases are endemic to parts of the world and not in others. The Europeans used Smallpox as an agent of biological warfare. If someone is trying to shoot at me, I would prefer a bullet proof vest.
The vaccination debate is not about us. It's about infants with underdeveloped immune systems.
Exactly, and no one knows what the long term effects are of injecting so many viruses and toxins into infants and young children whose fragile and still developing neurological systems are most susceptible. I say that the odds are very great that a great many long term effects will not be good.
Everything we injest or have injected has consequences, unless it is somehow passed unchanged from the body - even a single atom. Whatever effects they may be, our children will not be exactly the same as they would have been if they had not been vaccinated.
Yes, they will have immunity levels they would not have otherwise had - unless naturally exposed, in which case their immunity would have been even greater in most instances. They will also have demonstrably greater chances of an adverse vaccination reaction than they will of contracting the disease they were innoculated against.
I fear that they will also have over all suppressed immune systems, impaired neurological growth and mental abilities, and greater susceptibility to and incidence of chronic illness in the future.
The simple fact is that over 95% of lab created artificial drugs and unnatural patented isolates that come from Big Pharma have side effects. In many instances, those side effects lead to secondary contitions that require still more side-effect laden drugs so that by the time an average male reaches the age of 65 he is taking 15 prescribed and over the counter medications daily - when it all usually started with one or two conditions that could have been treated or prevented naturally. It is not true healthcare, it is an escalating system of managed illness in which our natural body functions are increasingly regulated in unnatural ways by drugs. It is a great system for profits, but a horrible one for health and humanity.
Nature, on the other hand, normally has few side effects and, despite the hushed up truth Big Pharma would have you believe, is quite often not only safer, but also more effective and far less expensive. The bottom line difference, many of us believe, is that anything which is unnatural and not encountered in nature in it's present form, is probably not healthy to put inside our bodies. It is in effect a foreign toxin and it can lead to any number of health issues in both the short and long term.
We who choose to protect our children from disease by providing healthy diets and lifestyles that build strong immune systems simply do not want to subject them to the risks, known and unknown, that come from unnatural vaccinations.
As a sidenote: When I began researching natural health several years and many thousands of hours ago, I thought vaccinations were good, nay essential, and that in general the only real and effective medicine was that which was approved by the FDA and prescribed by our trusted doctors, just the way they were taught in medical school. I thought that natural alternatives were generally less effective at best and dangerous snake-oil at worst.
"The vaccination debate is not about us. It's about infants with underdeveloped immune systems."
This debate is more than just our children it's about principals. Our elderly and other sheeple are falling prey to the eugenics vaccination cult. It's about forced vaccinations on the entire population in the name of fascist social programs using tax payer money to fund drug companies poisoning of the public. They are the ones with immunity... from prosecution. They could even make some of the vaccines safer, but that would be against their agenda.
I've heard you refer to fascism in several of your posts. You could always move to a non-fascist country with no vaccination policy. Of course, you probably would also have no running water or electricity.
You could always move to a non-fascist country with no vaccination policy. Of course, you probably would also have no running water or electricity.
You mean like Great Britain? In case you have not noticed, most of the rest of the world does NOT require compulsory vaccinations and the trend in many countries which do is to move from compulsory to voluntary.
Same old lame argument of ..If you don't like it leave it... If I had to get away from the fascist world government I'd have to make a rocketship and get off the planet. People suck down chlorinated fluoridated water and think it is the greatest thing and they settle for a half-a--ed life when there are other ways of dealing with such problems. This is endemic of vaccine cultists, they are boxed into thinking their injections are the only solution to the problem of disease. This is why the so-called "civilized" world is doomed. It's gonna be pretty painful to watch.
Lame argument? You think that everything from pediatricians to chlorine in water is fascist and evil. Is there some sort of root or extract you can take for paranoia.
Give me some time to look this potion up on the internet. I am sure to find that it contains toxins that will doom the planet. It is the fascist fragrance industry that is to blame for our demise.
Never Mind. I think we are OK. I will focus my efforts on something else.
Love Potion #9 is made up of Muira Puama, Sarsaparilla, Oyster Extract, Oat Straw, Yohimbe Bark Extract, Saw Palmetto Berry Extract, Pygeum Africanum Extract, Pumpkin Seed Extract, Damiana and Mexican Wild Yams/Taro Root Extract, as well as other ingredients outline on the website.
Damiana Leaf is a modern male aphrodisiac, used to increase male libido, stamina and performance.
Muira Pauma is a Brazilian libido boosting herb, which has shown very good results in clinical trails in enhancing male sexuality.
Wild Oat Straw is also known as Avena Sativa, which is highly nutritious grain, which is eaten as a food source. It is also believed to be a good elixir to help with recuperating from a trauma or illness. Avena Sativa is also thought to have some nervous system calming properties.
Saw Palmetto is a miniature fruit bearing palm tree, which Native Americans in the past used as a food source and to relieve pain, as well as to aid in general healing and to help with urinary tract problems. Presently, it is thought to be able to aid with the treatment of enlarged prostates, as well as other prostate issues. It is for this reason it is sometimes included in male sexual fitness products.
Yohimbe Extract is an evergreen plant native to Africa, which is a male aphrodisiac. It has had immense success in boosting the blood flow to the penis and aiding in creating better erections.
Sarsaparilla is an herb has been used as a weak diuretic, laxative, fever reducer, arthritis and other conditions.
" You think that everything from pediatricians to chlorine in water is fascist and evil. Is there some sort of root or extract you can take for paranoia."
Now your trying to frame me into one of your pre-concieved little propaganda boxes. I never said anything about pediatricians, and you were the one that accepted that the system is fascist, telling me to leave the country because I'm not a Lucky and I want to change things for the ignorant dumbed down population that obviously need to detox all the toxins they've accumulated from vaccines and all the other poisons in the system is a weak argument. And your ignorant paranoia comment shows your oblivious to the current state.
