Hi, I am not sure if this is an appropriate forum for this, but what are thoughts on getting tetnus shots? I was just in to see a new doctor who wants to give me one (I cant remember if and when I ever had one), and I declined at the time, telling him I would first do my research.....Any ideas?
You know,,,I did not ask him. I was meeting him for a first visit consult (just changed as my last doctor was not really open to alternative ways), and after going over my recent last year's history and what has been done and what I wanted in the form of additional testing,,,he just said he wanted to order a tetnus shot and do I remember when I last had one. I did not and told him I wanted to hold off until later.....So, just trying to get some feedback so I can make a decision....Thanks, D
Have you been to any third world countries where you cut yourself on a rusty piece of metal and were exposed to filthy conditions? If not, consider that there are only around 50 cases per year, since the mid-1970s, of Tetanus in the United States. Even if you are fully vaccinated, there is a 1 in 6 chance of getting Tetanus. I would imagine that more people die or have a severe reaction from taking the vaccine then actually aquire the disease. According to the statistics, people who take the vaccine who have complications often have a severe reaction: 4% of complications end with the death of the patient, 6% cause permanent damage (10 p163). Side-effects occur after boosters as well as after primary vaccination (10 p164). http://www.whale.to/v/tetanus.html
Is it worth the risk? There are several times that amount of people who are struck by lightning each year. Did your doctor suggest you wear rubber soled shoes and avoid going outside on rainy days? If the odds are better to be struck by lightning then getting tetanus, I think I might not take the risk. It sounds to me as if your doctor is trying to get a return visit and a frequent customer by offering a useless vaccination for an almost extinct disease.
I'd also like to add that I find it odd that your new Doctor would want to inject you just by looking at last years records with tetnus. Did you recently have any open wounds and went playing in the streets or playgrounds that are contaminated by human or animal feces?
If you are over 12 years old "they" recommend a "booster" every decade to maintain 'adequate antibody levels' which I feel is uncalled for!!! Especially since it may not only cause harm but also add a false sense of security when the truth is that the antibody level required to be universally protective is UNKNOWN. In 1937 a "proposed" level was introduced by Snead. Yet interestingly enough, although acquiring tetnus is extremely rare, it occurs more often in the fully vaccinated populations.
One last comment: This vaccine doesn't just contain inactivated tetnus toxiod and sterile water (which I think most physicians believe). Formaldehyde (a known carcinogen),sodium phosphate dibasic (an eye irritant and known to be harmful if injested), aluminum (connected with the development of Alzheimer's) and Thimerosal (a Mercury derivative and one of the most toxic substances in Nature) are all present in this vaccine...just to name a few.
And, this is why I put the question to the forum......I, in no way, want to have anything in my body that is toxic. I have done too much in the last 6 months to try and cleanse everything (i.e., home, body, foods, etc.) and had all metal removed from my mouth. This is more proof, we have to take responsibility for our bodies and not bow down to the guys in white coats......
I did pose the question to him about reasoning for this and it was just routine....
thanks, D
One of my daughters has Autism and I am affected by neurological problems. I remember crying before getting vaccines when I was in the military. It was as if my body was being pushed away from the vaccines like putting two north magnatized magnets together...but I let them do it anyway. What a crime that was to my body. If I had only known...
I am working on a plan to chelate my daughter this Summer. Lots of Omega 3's, Vitamin C, Chlorela, and Cilantro will help get rid of the mercury but it is much easier to prevent mercury poisoning then it is to get rid of it. I love CureZone because it provides a large amount of information and personal accounts to help us find what is right for us.
I am glad you have a questioning mind. It might save you from a tragedy. I wonder about the motives of doctors who would prescribe mercury to a healthy patient.
Dr. Sherry Tennypenny (http://www.novaccines.com) recommends NOT getting tetanus shots but instead washing WELL, using hydrogen peroxide on any wound (from things such as stepping on a rusty nail), and ask your doctor for TIG (which is the antibodies for tetanus) or penicillin. No need to get a tetanus shot.
