Since the recent outbreak of measles at Disney World, I have
been getting a lot of questions about immunizations. I attended a twelve hour continuing
education seminar titled, “Neuroimmunology: Patterns of Influence,” by Dr.
Stephen Marini, M.S., D.C., PhD. The next several articles come from this
seminar. They are going to concentrate
on some challenges to the medical paradigm that are held so dear by most
physicians, yet make so little sense when compared to verifiable, scientific
truth. This is a very difficult subject to write about due to its complexity,
but is vitally important to understand when learning about how to stay healthy
naturally, and avoid poisoning your system with worthless vaccinations.
The conventional medical paradigm holds to some very wrong
headed public health ideas, which completely drives their research agendas and
public health policy. First off, medicine believes the immune system is
independent and autonomous (works alone without help). Scientific research
shows this to be completely false. Can thoughts of the mind affect your
physical health? You bet. Have you ever
heard of the placebo effect? Does physical trauma affect the psyche or nervous
systems? Sure. No one system stands alone, yet this is how medicine treats the
immune system when it tries to fake it out with immunizations for contagious
disease.
They believe that natural immunity (actually getting a
disease and recovering) is the same as artificial immunity (shots). It is not! This subject will be another whole article.
The majority of medical research these days has to do with
genetic predisposition to disease. This is because they believe your immune
responsiveness is genetically determined. The latest real scientific research
show only 10-20% of you is determined by your genes, whereas the rest is
determined by your environment.
Another belief is that microbes are ‘caught.’ No, microbes
are everywhere and you fight them all the time. When you express symptoms such
as coughing, sneezing, fever and boils on your skin, the infection has
penetrated your system, and the body is externalizing the bug, (kicking it
out).
They believe a vaccinated society is a healthier society.
The health of a society is evaluated by its infant mortality rate (IMR).
Science has definitively proven that the more shots given to infants, the
higher the mortality rate, and the less healthy the society. In 2009, the USA
gave 26 shots by age 1 and ranked 34th in IMR. In 2012, we now rank
49th, why? Because since 2009, there has been a huge push by
medicine to vaccinate pregnant mothers and they’ve more shots to the
children’s’ schedule. If you remember just a few short years ago, there were
two scenarios in which the medics wouldn’t give a shot: when you’re immune
compromised (sick already) or pregnant. They are now breaking their own rules.
If you look at IMR and compare it to the number of vaccination doses given, you
will find they are inversely proportional around the world. This means as doses
go up, less kids live. This is not speculation; it is fact, published in the
Human and Experimental Toxicology Journal on May 4, 2011, by Miller and
Goldman.
That leads us to another belief they hold. As is stated
above, they now must believe that vaccinating during pregnancy does not harm
mother or baby. They have no studies to show this is true, but there are
statistics like previously stated that show it is suspect at best.
One last challenge to mainstream medicine deals with another
one of their high priority vaccines, the flu shot. They believe the seasonal
flu vaccine renders you more resistant to colds. In reality, it makes you more
susceptible to flu and every other virus you contact, simply because a shot
makes your body react completely different when compared to natural immunity.
Here is an assumption medicine makes that has absolutely no
scientific study behind it. They believe the human immune system is not
adversely affected by vaccinations, and multiple dose injections are innocuous
(safe). This is based on nothing but their made up paradigm, there are no
studies to prove it.
I write all this because you need to know where they are
coming from. Every one of those things is disproven and inaccurate, yet we
still base our public health policy on them. You are the bad guy if you don’t
toe the line and line up your kids and yourself for their shots.
I’m an anti-vaccine advocate, yet you will not hear me say
vaccines don’t work. Why? Because they do increase antibody titers, for a time,
then the titer fades, and you need another round called a booster. Booster shots are given based on research
which shows when the least responding individual’s antibody level wanes the
fastest. In other words, it’s not
specific to you, or even most people’s responses. All people are given a booster based on the
worst performing person, the lowest common denominator. Nice. Vaccinations
provide humeral immunity, which spikes antibodies then fades. Once an infection
gets past the antibodies, and into the cells, antibodies are of no help. Your body has no further response with a
vaccine, so you show no disease, yet you are left with infected cells and
altered DNA. This is called a TH2
response. It is an internalization process.
