CDC Comments on Flu
Vaccines

JANUARY 10, 2004. NY Times. Lawrence Altman, the dean of American
medical writers, reported that 93 children have died from the flu this
season in the US. Altman states: "Thirty-three of the victims had not
been vaccinated. The disease control agency [CDC] recommends
vaccination for all healthy children 6 months and older."
Okay Altman...therefore? Are we supposed to imagine that he doesn't
see the corollary of what he just wrote? He's brain addled? He can't
take the next logical step? He can't push the ball with his nose one
last inch? He refuses to mention THEREFORE, 60 OF THE CHILDREN WHO DID
DIE FROM THE FLU WERE VACCINATED AGAINST IT. Hello? Gosh o gee, if I
were an editor at the NY Times, I would have blasted the headline: 60
VACCINATED CHILDREN DIE OF FLU ANYWAY. And then I might insert a
sub-head: WHOLE VACCINE CAMPAIGN CALLED INTO DOUBT. But no.
And how many readers of the Times do you imagine caught the omission?
How many will write a letter to the paper? Oh well, just another day
in journalism hell. How about a little interview with a mother of a
child who died, who says, "WE THOUGHT OUR GIRL WAS PROTECTED AFTER SHE
GOT THE SHOT, BUT THEN SHE DIED. WHAT'S GOING ON?" How about asking
the head of the CDC to comment on the fact that two-thirds of the kids
who have died so far received the vaccine? This is fake news at its
best. Reverse the whole meaning of the facts. Spin it to the wrong
side. "All those kids who got the shot died, but the CDC says
vaccinate your kid." And you thought the Jayson Blair scandal at the
Times was bad? It was just a tempest in a teacup. THIS is bad. This is
the kind of reporting that wouldn't even get by a bored-to-death
teacher at a college journalism class. THIS is about health and
illness and death. This is madness.
The "negative
phase" after vaccination is the observation that natural immunity is
lowered for a time after a vaccination. It is theorized that the
immune system is "otherwise occupied" after a shot and is less able to
function fully. In fact, a study revealed white blood cell levels
dropping to AIDS levels after a tetanus shot. Of course
antibiotics, steroids and other medical therapies are
immunosuppressive, drive disease deeper and can make a person
chronically ill or kill them. For example, most if not all children
who die from chicken pox do so after many suppressive medical
therapies are given for what is a generally benign condition (or they
are on immunosuppressive therapy already because they have cancer
(vaccines are carcinogenic) etc.).

Alternative to the sting of a failed
flu vaccine - Donald E. Harte
This year's flu season has been hyped by the medical profession and
its governmental minions more than the "Lord of the Rings" and the
Iowa caucuses put together. They mean to cause frenzied demand for the
flu vaccine, now and in the future -- especially the future.
Is demand for the flu vaccine, to the point of panic,
being artificially created? Within one month last year, at least three
stories forced the issue: In Science magazine, we saw "Are we ready
for pandemic influenza?" (Nov. 28). Then, USA Today ran "Next flu
pandemic could wreak global havoc, scientists warn" (Dec. 4). And AOL
News lead with "Western flu outbreak is the worst in 30 years" (Dec.
17).
Let's go back a few years. Besides disco, the '70s can
be remembered for the swine flu catastrophe. This was the first big
push by the medical profession, through the media, for the flu
vaccine. We were warned of dire consequences if mass vaccination was
not achieved from this "killer strain." If you are older than 40, you
might remember the television coverage of President Gerald Ford
rolling up his sleeve for his flu shot.
At the same time, a survey of practicing physicians
showed that, without exception, every doctor surveyed stated that they
would not administer the swine flu shot to their own children. The
result? Claims totaling in excess of $1.3 billion were filed with the
U.S. Department of Justice because of injury or death due to these
shots. The suits claimed that the shots caused 517 Americans to become
afflicted with Guillain-Barré syndrome (an auto-immune disease that
can cause severe weakness and pain and paralysis of the limbs and
face), of whom at least 23 died.
Because of the method of manufacture, every year, by
its very nature, the flu vaccine is out of date before it is even
released. It can only offer partial protection for flu strains that
happen to be closely related to last year's favorites that have been
selected. When public health officials warn of a "killer flu" or a
"possible pandemic," they expect a significant genetic shift in flu
strain, and this is when they insist most strongly on people rolling
up their sleeves for the vaccine. The trouble is, in these cases of
"transgenic shift," the vaccine of the far-removed flu strain becomes
near useless. According to Barbara Loe Fisher, of the National Vaccine
Information Center, "Public officials knew last spring that it was
highly unlikely that the A/Panama strain in the current vaccine was
not going to protect against the mutated, more dangerous A/Fujian
strain (of this year)."
Evidence of the vaccine's ineffectiveness abounds. A
1999 Dutch study, for instance, reported on a home for seniors, where
49 percent suffered from a severe flu, though two-thirds were
vaccinated. Meanwhile, 48 percent of the nonvaccinated population got
the disease, whereas 50 percent of those who were vaccinated got it.
A former chief vaccine control officer of the FDA, J.
Anthony Morris, has said: "There is no evidence that any influenza
vaccine thus far developed is effective in preventing or mitigating
any attack of influenza. The producers of these vaccines know that
they are worthless, but they go on selling them anyway."
Is the flu vaccine safe? The strains of influenza
within the vaccine are inactivated with formaldehyde and preserved
with Thimerosal, a mercury compound. Aside from possible danger from
the active biological agents, isn't it biological common sense not to
put poisons such as formaldehyde and mercury into your veins? The
world's leading immunogeneticist, Hugh Fudenberg, stated that if an
individual has five consecutive flu shots, instead of two, one or no
shots, his/her chances of getting Alzheimer's disease are 10 times
higher. He said that the causative agents in the flu shots were
aluminum and mercury, with a gradual buildup resulting in cognitive
dysfunction. In the "Essential Guide to Prescription Drugs," adverse
effects for the flu vaccine include anaphylactic shock, Guillain-Barré
syndrome, pericarditis (inflammation of the covering of the
heart) and kidney damage.
The immune system protects us from the flu, as well as
any other infectious disease, and strives to get us well again when we
do fall ill. That immune system, like every other system in the body,
is coordinated and controlled by the nervous system.
Chiropractic allows a better-running, healthier nervous
system. Ample literature supports the successes of chiropractic with
infectious disease. For instance, a study published in 2000, from the
Anglo-European College of Chiropractic, showed chiropractic
adjustments leading to increased serum IgM levels, an indicator of
immune function.
The Great Flu Pandemic of 1918 was the greatest plague
of modern times. It is estimated to have killed between 25 million and
40 million people worldwide, about half a million in this country.
History shows us that those under chiropractic care during the flu
pandemic had a far better chance of survival. One example: medical
doctors in Davenport, Iowa, treated 93,590 patients, with 6,116 deaths
-- in other words, 1 out of 15 under medical care succumbed to the
flu. At the Palmer College of Chiropractic in Davenport, 1,635 flu
cases were adjusted, with only one fatality. Outside of Davenport,
chiropractors adjusted 4,735 flu cases, with only six deaths -- 1 out
of 866. In 1919, Palmer published "The Flu and You." The ratio of flu
cases cared for versus deaths were as follows: Medical care: 1 out of
17 died. Osteopathic care: 1 out of 36 died. Chiropractic care: 1 out
of 886.
Christopher Kent, president of the Council on
Chiropractic Practice, sums up the issue nicely: "Flu shots seem to be
more a product of cultural superstition than science. Think twice
before rolling up your sleeve." Good advice? You, too, can be smarter
than President Ford!
Pick up Your Cafe of Life
"Heart" today!
With
Valentines Day right around the corner, isn't it time to give LIFE to
a one of your loved ones? If you read the article above and you
have been to a LIFE TALK, you would know Chiropractic's influence on
the nerve system. A little self testimony - Before getting
adjusted regularly, I used to get little heart flutters (palpitations)
every couple of days. On top of that, the middle of my back
(between the scapula) always ached. After getting adjusted, the
palpitations disappeared and they only return when I haven't been
adjusted for a couple of weeks. It just so happens that there
are major nerve bundles around your spine between the scapula -
controlling your heart, digestion and how well you body can handle
stress. So..........
The Cafe of Life is
giving away hearts to those who "dine" at the Cafe of Life. Each
heart is good for a neuro-spinal assessment and adjustment (if
necessary). The hearts will be available the first week of
February and will be valid from February 13th - 20th. Who will
be YOUR Valentine?!

The 33 Principles
R.W. Stephenson and B.J. Palmer laid down the 33 Principles of
Chiropractic in the early 1900's. Chiropractic is based on these
principles and we are going to list all 33 - 1 at a time.

universal intelligence is in all matter and continually gives to it
all its properties and actions, thus maintaining it in existence.
Book Excerpt - The Law of Success, by Paramahansa Yogananda
"Your success in life does not altogether depend on ability and
training; it also depends on your determination to grasp opportunities
that are presented to you. Opportunities in life come by
creation, not by chance. You yourself, either now or in the
past, have created all opportunities that arise in your path.
Since you have earned them, use them to the best advantage."
Questions at the Café
(submit
your questions or replies)
Animals & plants undergo seasonal
changes. For example, animals grow more fur & gain weight in the
winter. Trees loose their leaves, plants die back, etc...
Are humans separate from this process? Are humans the only
living thing on Earth not affected by nature/seasons?
Why are living things of different
sizes given the same amount of vaccines? For example, a 2 year
old child is given the same vaccine dosage as an adult and a Chihuahua
is given the same dosage as a Great Dane.
