Okay. So I could go on and on about why vaccines are bad, the propaganda, the corrupt pharmaceutical industries, the statistics, and so on. And hey, this is my blog so maybe I will. But for me, this is so easy. All it takes is a little common sense and understanding of what the body requires for optimal health and true immunity. Let me tell you what the body doesn't like, and what it doesn't require. It doesn't need aluminum, formaldehyde, mercury, monkey blood, shark liver, chick embryo cells, and aborted fetal tissue to name a few. Just as I am wary about the ingredients in my food, I am wary of the ingredients in vaccines, or anything that is going inside my body for that matter. These ingredients are not "rumored," they are very real. If you need proof, take a short drive down to your local pharmacy and simply ask a pharmacist for a vaccine ingredients sheet. Some things you won't know what they are (enough reason to be cautious), but you can simply Google it. For example, you may read "Bovine Extract," which is a cow based serum, usually extracted from their pituitary gland or their brain. YUCK! Who the hell in their right mind would think that's okay? Sounds like some sort of twisted alien ritual you would see in a 1980's sci-fi thriller. Not only do we not need these components to be healthy, but they actually are shown to be toxic the body and cause disease. Some ingredients in vaccines are classified as carcinogens on the National Toxicology Program. When a woman becomes pregnant, she is advised to not eat sushi because of the mercury in fish. When we go to the dentist, mercury fillings are to be handled as toxic waste. So why then are we told it is "safe" when we put it in our mouths or in vaccines? The notion of injecting disease and toxic chemicals into the body to promote health makes absolutely no logical sense to me. Why not consume health and nutrients and everything that our cells thrive on to promote health, and prevent disease? Please understand that companies who sell vaccines are BIG BUSINESS. Why do you think the number of "required" vaccines has gone from 10 to 45 in the last 20 years? It's not because we have become more sick and need them. It's because the more they make, the more money they profit. My point is, the way we now view what health is, and what it means to be healthy is backwards. We have somehow been convinced that being given toxic chemicals and disease will somehow give us health. What gives us health are all the things our body craves in order to be healthy. Fruit, vegetables, breast milk at infancy and toddlerhood, activity, clean air, sunlight, fresh water, optimism, low stress, good company, touch etc. These are the things that build a healthy immune system.
"It is pathetic and ludicrous to say we ever vanquished smallpox with vaccines, when only 10% of the population was ever vaccinated."
- Dr. Glen Dettman.
"Two or three years ago there was a rash of positive HIV and hepatitis patients in Baltimore among people who would otherwise not be expected to have a positive test. When studied all of these people had received the influenza vaccine four to six weeks prior and this was rapidly covered up by the press." -- Dr. Eva Snead, Feb 2000
My personal story: Several years ago when I was becoming more aware of health, and what is really means to be healthy, one of my close friends had started her rounds of Gardasil, a vaccine for women that is said to prevent HPV. Her mother is very much in favor of vaccines and encouraged me to get vaccinated too, as she believed that this shot is truly healthy for women in preventing HPV. I declined her suggestion to get the shot a few times (I don't even take Tylenol, much less get shots) and told her a little about what I thought about vaccines and true health and immunity. Of course, she thought I was crazy and we went about our lives. A couple of years later at my annual women's exam, I found out that I indeed had contracted HPV AND cervical dysplasia (pre cancerous cells caused by HPV). There was no part of me that thought, "Oh, if I had only listened to her and got that vaccine...." Instead, I saw this as a test to what I always tell people about health. I truly believed (and still do) that the risks of receiving the vaccine are far greater than the potential risks of HPV. I had already been changing my diet in recent years, so I just ate more of what I knew was good for me. I didn't go to any 3-6 month check ups that you're advised to go to when you have HPV. I did a 10 day raw food cleanse and juiced regularly in the time between this exam and my following one. I took up yoga regularly, and improved my food intake even more. In March of 2012 I went to another annual exam. I told my OB that I was previously diagnosed with HPV and cervical dysplasia so I wouldn't be surprised if she called me to tell me that I still had it (even though I was secretly hoping that I had cured it on my own). Lo and behold, I never heard back from my doctor (they don't call when everything is "okay"). I didn't fully believe it so I took it upon myself to call her. I said that I hadn't heard anything back, but that I was sort of expecting to, and what was the status of my exam? She informed me that everything came back negative, it all looked fine and there was no sign of HPV or CD. Ha! Amazing.
I often hear that vaccines have saved thousands of lives and wiped out Polio. This is not true. A little research will show that the Polio epidemic was already on a steady decline when the vaccine came out. And what is so wrong with allowing our natural immunity to take care of sickness? When I was little, I got chicken pox, and guess what? I got better. That's how I built my immunity to chicken pox. Now, there is a vaccine for chicken pox. There is also a Flu vaccine. One of the most advertised vaccines there is. Whyyy?!?! If I get the flu, so what? I get the flu, and then I get better. But I don't get the flu. I reckon it's because I have decided to build healthy immunity in other ways. So many times I have heard, "The only time I ever got the flu was the year I got the flu vaccine. NEVER AGAIN!" It's a bullshit, money making vaccine. If you're gonna get the flu, for God's sake, get it naturally, and get over it. It is proven that the majority of all children who come down with pertussis, rotavirus, the flu, or any other illness that we are "immunized" for, ARE VACCINATED. Which is where the saying, "Vaccination does not mean Immunization", comes from. Vaccine injury is very real, and I interact with a community of mothers who have experienced it first hand, and later chose to not vaccinate any other children of theirs. I have also heard from these mothers that their older child(ren) who was vaccinated have chronic ear infections, behavioral problems, allergies, always sick, etc....while their unvaccinated children are hardly ever or have never been sick. Anywho, i'll knock it off with the he said, she said. Here is a slew of vaccine evidence for you to read and watch in order to make an informed decision. Oh. And one last thing. Don't ever think for one second that you HAVE to vaccinate your child by law, that it is required in order for them to go to school, have a job, etc. There are vaccine exemptions in every state for religious reasons, medical reasons, or philosophical reasons, also known as Reasons of Conscience (Ironic, huh? As in, those who have a conscience choose to not vaccinate). You can just Google information for whatever state you are in.
