Oct. 13.11-Caution to parents: This Vaccine Might Cause Sudden Infant Death Syndrome

Can the hepatitis B vaccine cause Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS)?

I’ve recently become a fan of Dr. Mercola. On his website, he will quote a study that has been done, give the facts from that, and then he will give his own comments about it. Fascinating! He is not afraid to take on controversial topics like the study done in peer-reviewed papers that cites hepatitis B vaccine as a possible cause for numerous sudden infant deaths (in the U.S. and in Europe), multiple sclerosis, and other autoimmune disorders.

Dr. Mercola points out that reactions to the hepatitis B vaccine may be serious. He believes that the hepatitis B vaccine may be the most problematic vaccine on the required list for children today.

Newborns began to be routinely given the hepatitis B vaccine in 1992. The CDC and the FDA jointly operated the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System, and between 1992 and 2005, they reported 36,788 official adverse reactions to hepatitis B vaccines. 14,800 of these were serious enough that hospitalization was required.

Furthermore, 781 people were reported to have DIED following hepatitis B vaccination. Dr. Mercola also noted that vaccine adverse reactions are grossly under-reported, even perhaps by as much as 90%. So these figures could be only the tip of the iceberg.

Often vaccine reactions are not even recognized by medical professionals as vaccine-related.

For instance, when babies die after receiving the hepatitis B vaccine, their deaths are usually attributed to SIDS without investigation into the vaccine that might have caused the baby’s sudden death.

What happens when a parent tries to refuse a vaccination? A friend told me recently that when she was politely refusing a certain immunization for her infant, the doctor continued to urge her to allow it, saying that the risks were minimal of an adverse effect.

Dr. Mercola goes on to say that the protection that the hepatitis B vaccine gives the baby tends to diminish over time so that by the time the child is actually exposed to the virus, their protection is almost nil anyway.

So why vaccinate them at birth when they could have such an adverse reaction in their immune system, permanent brain damage, and even death?

Dr Mercola concludes: “It is not logical. Makes no sense, none, nada, zip. This is a seriously flawed public health policy recommendation that is not backed up by good science.”

Oct.20.10-Special Flu Vaccine Report

Special Flu Vaccine Report

“Years ago, people developed resistance the old fashioned way: By getting the flu. And then when that type of flu came around again years or decades later, they either didn’t get sick or had only a mild case. The vaccine marketeers want to take that away from our population. What will that make us? Vaccine dependent, of course.” – Barbara Loe Fisher, co-founder of the National Vaccine Information Center
Three important reasons to avoid the flu shot:
1. The flu shot contains mercury, formaldehyde, gelatin and traces of chicken cells.
2. The flu shot contains viral contaminants that have been linked to cancer.
3. You can get the flu shot – and all the risks that go with it – and still get the flu.

Flu shot does not save lives in the elderly
The flu vaccine isn’t preventing death in the elderly population, the “high risk group” that is told to get a flu shot to reduce mortality, according to a study in the Archives of Internal Medicine. (1)

Although immunization rates in those over 65 have increased 50% in the past 20 years, there has been no decline in flu-related deaths. Mortality rates for those over 85 between 1968 and 2001 showed no change as well. The authors add: “Studies substantially overestimate vaccination benefit”; a diplomatic way of saying it’s useless.

If you get the flu, avoid aspirin and acetaminophen (TylenolT & others)

Flu sufferers who lower their fevers with aspirin or Tylenol stay sick an average of 3½ days longer than those who do not take the drugs. (2) The purpose of a fever is to fight infection and cleanse the body of toxins. Why interfere?

Getting the flu gives you protection against cancer
Scientists discovered that those with a history of colds and flu also had less breast, colon, rectal, stomach and ovarian cancer.
A history of common colds or gastro-enteric influenza prior to the interview was found to be associated with a decreased cancer risk. (3)

In another study, subjects who reported a history of colds, flu and other infectious diseases had a 30% reduction in risk of brain tumor. (4)

Long-term consequences of flu shots – immune system damage?
Researchers have discovered that repeated vaccination at a young age substantially increases the risk of influenza at older ages. However, getting the infection naturally appears to strengthen the immune system and decreases the risk of being re-infected. Natural is better. (5) Note: The authors did not even look for an Alzheimer’s-flu shot connection.

Ineffective flu shots?
Does the flu shot prevent death and illness? The elderly over age 70, who account for 90% of all flu related deaths, may not be protected at all. Flu vaccine use by the elderly increased from 15% to 65% in the US since 1980 but there is no decrease in influenza-related mortality. The few clinical trials that have included elderly people have indicated there is a decrease in antibody responses (and therefore reduced clinical benefit) from flu vaccination as people age beyond 70. (6)

In conclusion
Rather than see flu, colds, fevers and nasal discharge solely as uncomfortable, we should know that they operate in our best interest: to heal, cleanse and detoxify us. Suppressing symptoms may create more serious disease in the future. That doesn’t mean we should ignore a sick person. Illness is a time of rest and recuperation. Ill people need comfort, proper nutrition and support.

Many people who wish to avoid medical suppressive therapies such as aspirin, acetaminophen, antihistamines, decongestants and other drugs designed to prevent symptoms instead turn to nutrition, chiropractic, homeopathy, naturopathy, acupuncture and many other natural “expressive” healthcare systems so their bodies will get the full benefit from their symptoms – cleansing, healing and improved health.
