"Vaccinations Are No Substitute for a Healthy Immune System While much has been made of the beneficial impact of vaccinations on improving health and longevity, the actual benefits of many vaccinations are probably not as good as advertised, and many problems linked to vaccinations have not been disclosed to the public. This section is not meant to discourage the use of vaccinations, but rather to ensure their appropriate use and help the reader recognize that vaccinations are not a good substitute for a healthy immune system." - Joseph Nd Pizzorno, Total Wellness: Improve Your Health by Understanding and Cooperating with Your Body's Natural Healing Systems (Get the book.)

"Stephanie Cave's book, What Your Doctor May Not Tell You About vaccinations. After this string of vaccinations he lost his language, became detached, withdrawn, less interactive, and was unable to relate in normal ways to his parents and other children-all signs of autism. How could a normal boy be transformed so quickly? He was taken to the best doctors in New York and it was "pronounced" that he had autism (as if it were a thing you catch like a bug), and told that there was nothing to be done except arduous, painful, and barely effective behavioral and occupational therapy techniques." - Mark Hyman MD, The UltraMind Solution: Fix Your Broken Brain by Healing Your Body First (Get the book.)

"Fran and I, knowing what was best for us, got our vaccinations to protect us from influenza. Then, as we were hard at work on this book, there was a shortage of vaccine. Amidst much public complaint and expressions of fear, many people, we included, were not able to get our vaccinations. Public health officials worried. The winter came and went; we did not get the flu. Then we got some insight from an article published in the Archives of Internal Medicine. Prior to 1980, about 15 to 20% of all elderly persons were vaccinated; by the turn of the millennium, that number had reached about 65%." - Gerald E. Markle and Frances B. McCrea, What If Medicine Disappeared? (Get the book.)

"The belief that vaccinations, like flu shots, have eliminated death from infectious disease in the twentieth century is widespread. In fact, much of the reduction in death from infectious disease is due to public-health measures, including improved nutrition and sanitation. And vaccinations are not without potential danger. We still don't know the potential long-term effects of vaccination. An oft-repeated fact is that 36,000 people die each year from the flu. The government urges citizens to get vaccinated, presumably to prevent these deaths." - J. Douglas Bremner, Before You Take that Pill: Why the Drug Industry May Be Bad for Your Health (Get the book.)

"These include improvements such as sanitation, clean food and water, decent housing, good nutrition, higher standards of living, and widespread vaccinations. The CDC's report was based on a 1994 article in the prestigious Mil-bank Quarterly, written by researchers from Harvard and King's College, London. They found that preventive care as recommended by the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force report—including, for example, blood pressure screening, cancer screening, counseling about smoking, routine immunizations, and aspirin to prevent heart attacks—adds only 18 to 19 months to our lives." - John Abramson, Overdosed America: The Broken Promise of American Medicine (P.S.) (Get the book.)

"Some research suggests that routine vaccinations may be linked with inflammation of the beta cells of the pancreas, but it isn't enough data for us to make a definitive statement. There is a significant correlation between antibodies to cow's milk protein, particularly to bovine serum albumin, in the onset of IDDM.71'72'73,74 Some studies have suggested that somewhere between 75 and 90 percent of the cases of Type-l have antibodies against the beta cells of the pancreas compared to 0.5 to 2 percent of normals.75 Cow's milk seems to be strongly linked to the onset of Type-l." - Gabriel Cousens, There Is a Cure for Diabetes: The Tree of Life 21-Day+ Program (Get the book.)

"So what could possibly be the drawbacks of vaccinations? There has always been some controversy surrounding this subject, and like all controversies, this one has two sides. One side is easy to find on television and in newspaper articles. There's no shortage of stories about new vaccines and warnings about the "dire" consequences people will face if they don't vaccinate their children. The other side is rarely reported and takes a little time and research to understand." - Deirdre Imus, Growing Up Green: Baby and Child Care: Volume 2 in the Bestselling Green This! Series (Green This!) (Get the book.) "The benefits are obvious: vaccinations create immunity to diseases by inducing the body to make antibodies against diseases. They play a critical role in preventing serious illnesses and infectious diseases. From a public-health standpoint, vaccines are essential in maintaining what is called "herd immunity," meaning that they help to protect the public as a whole. In other words, your child is vaccinated first and foremost to protect the "herd." - Deirdre Imus, Growing Up Green: Baby and Child Care: Volume 2 in the Bestselling Green This! Series (Green This!) (Get the book.) "After your children receive a vaccine, or series of vaccinations, carefully monitor their reactions and behavior. Keep a written record of any observations or concerns you might have—these notes might be extremely valuable later. According to the CDC, parents "should report clinically significant adverse events even if you are unsure whether a vaccine caused the event." You can obtain information about the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS) by phone (800-822-7967) or online (www. vaers.hhs.gov/vaers.htm#5)." - Deirdre Imus, Growing Up Green: Baby and Child Care: Volume 2 in the Bestselling Green This! Series (Green This!) (Get the book.) "In this section, I want to talk to you candidly about what is likely to be your baby's first, and perhaps most important, medical intervention: vaccinations. It's important for you to get as much information about vaccines as possible so you can make an informed choice about what's best for your baby. The following pages address some issues that you are unlikely to hear speaking with your pediatrician, and they have been the source of much debate. It is important for you to get as much information about vaccines as possible so you can decide what's best for your baby." - Deirdre Imus, Growing Up Green: Baby and Child Care: Volume 2 in the Bestselling Green This! Series (Green This!) (Get the book.)

"Proposed Schedule of vaccinations Hepatitis-B First dose: shortly before starting day care. If your child does not attend day care, postpone the vaccination until the year before kindergarten. Second dose: one to two months after the first dose. ? Third dose: four to six months after the second dose. HIB {Haemophilus influenzae); IPV (polio); DTaP (diphtheria, tetanus, pertussis): • HIB: first dose at four months old. IPV: first dose at four months old. • DTaP: first dose at five months. • HIB: second dose at six months. • IPV: second dose at six months." - Kenneth Bock, Healing the New Childhood Epidemics: Autism, ADHD, Asthma, and Allergies: The Groundbreaking Program for the 4-A Disorders (Get the book.) "He had been lethargic for three days after the vaccinations. He'd had his HIB and MMR three months earlier. He had persistent fungal dysbiosis, and experienced significant improvement when he took the antifungals nystatin and Nizoral, with monthly follow-ups of liver function tests. He also had a dramatic response to methyl-B-12, with increased alertness and increased eye contact. His teachers reported an "almost shocking improvement." - Kenneth Bock, Healing the New Childhood Epidemics: Autism, ADHD, Asthma, and Allergies: The Groundbreaking Program for the 4-A Disorders (Get the book.) "Most flu vaccinations still contain mercury, and those that do contain mercury should not be given to children or pregnant women. PRE-CHELATION ISSUE #2 Improving Nutritional Status and Overcoming Any Nutritional Deficiencies Many autistic children have nutritional deficiencies that should be remedied prior to chelation. If they are not resolved, they can hinder the process of detoxification, and can also make children somewhat more vulnerable to further metabolic problems." - Kenneth Bock, Healing the New Childhood Epidemics: Autism, ADHD, Asthma, and Allergies: The Groundbreaking Program for the 4-A Disorders (Get the book.) "These vaccinations, which contain small amounts of living viruses, may have directly created infections-through viral mate-rial-in children's gastrointestinal tracts. One such virus that seems to have been particularly damaging, according to the pioneering research of Andrew Wakefield, M.D., was the live (but weakened) measles virus that's found in the combination vaccination for measles, mumps, and rubella (MMR). Just as mercury tends to lodge in the brain and nerves, measles virus has an affinity for the gastrointestinal tract." - Kenneth Bock, Healing the New Childhood Epidemics: Autism, ADHD, Asthma, and Allergies: The Groundbreaking Program for the 4-A Disorders (Get the book.)

"In Chapter 2 the reader can see that by living in the Culture of Death (expressed by: a diet and lifestyle of highly refined carbohydrates, dairy products, processed white flour, processed white sugar, cooked animal and other saturated fats, trans fats, nicotine, coffee, commercial foods high in agrochemicals, heavy metal toxicity, vaccinations, poor air and water quality, and high stress), we have created the pandemic of diabetes. In other words, diabetes is a symptom of the Culture of Death." - Gabriel Cousens, There Is a Cure for Diabetes: The Tree of Life 21-Day+ Program (Get the book.)

"We also need a doctor to administer the various childhood vaccinations (another cause of cancer), to prescribe antibiotics for an ear or throat infection, to tell us whether we need to take out the tonsils or appendix, and to prescribe drugs for nervousness and attention deficit disorder because we live on sugar, food additives, and fast foods or are deprived of our parents' loving and caring attention. Furthermore, a doctor is needed to tell us that we need statin drugs for an elevated cholesterol level, diuretic pills for high blood pressure, and an angioplasty to unclog our blocked arteries." - Andreas Moritz, Cancer Is Not A Disease - It's A Survival Mechanism (Get the book.)

"During the mid- to late-1990s, some children received nearly three times as much thimerosal in their vaccinations than did children a generation earlier. The cumulative amount surpassed EPA guidelines, according to some interpretations. Interestingly, though, because she received some of her immunizations in combined shots, the total thimerosal injected into Michelle Cedillo was only about 40 millionths of a gram more than a child would have received 30 years ago, well before the supposed "autism epidemic" began." - Gary Null and Amy McDonald, The Food-Mood Connection: Nutrition-based and Environmental Approaches to Mental Health and Physical Wellbeing (Get the book.)

"Not coincidentally to many researchers, physicians, scientists, and parents of autistics, this dramatic increase correlates directly with the increase in the number of recommended childhood vaccinations. Previous to 1989, children received eleven immunizations spread out over their first five years. But then new federal recommendations called for twenty-two vaccinations before reaching pre-school age. Many of these vaccinations contained thimerosal.16 Although obviously controversial, there is significant research which connects thimerosal/mercury to autism." - Pat Sullivan, Wellness Piece by Piece: How a Successful Entrepreneur Discovered the Pieces to His Chronic Health Puzzle (Get the book.)

"Some of these include physical injuries, psychological stress, food sensitivities, parasites, viruses, fungi, vaccinations and heavy metal toxicity. What is Crohn's Disease? Crohn's disease is an autoimmune inflammatory bowel disease. Like most autoimmune diseases it has active periods followed by remission. It is characterized by inflammation that can affect any part of the digestive tract from the mouth to the anus, not just the small intestine. However, it usually affects the ileum and the colon. This disease causes ulcer-like lesions of the gastrointestinal tract's mucous membrane lining." - Heather Caruso, Your Drug-Free Guide to Digestive Health (Get the book.) "Some medical doctors use a chelating drug to bind heavy metals and then test the urine for their excretion. vaccinations are thought to prime our immune system to recognize a virus so that we will not succumb to it. This is a good theory and has prevented many merciless diseases. However, some vaccines still contain toxic ingredients such as mercury and formaldehyde. What happens with those toxins when we are injected with them? How can we excrete something injected right into our blood without it being deposited into some of our tissues? Obviously we cannot." - Heather Caruso, Your Drug-Free Guide to Digestive Health (Get the book.) "Some of these include physical injuries, psychological stress, food sensitivities, parasites, viruses, fungi, vaccinations and heavy metal toxicity. What is Ulcerative Colitis? Although ulcerative colitis is considered a separate disorder from Crohn's disease, its treatment is very similar. Ulcerative colitis typically occurs between the ages of 15 and 30. It affects both sexes equally and has a hereditary component. Caucasians and Jewish people tend to be more affected by this disease. Ulcerative colitis is an autoimmune inflammatory bowel disease." - Heather Caruso, Your Drug-Free Guide to Digestive Health (Get the book.)

"Medical advances such as antibiotics, vaccinations, clot-dissolving medications, and "unnatural" techniques such as coronary bypass grafting have pushed back the grim reaper every year since 1950. That is both good news and bad news. If you look at the quality of life of most eighty-year-olds and beyond, it is not great. Many of us are not aging gracefully, and many of us are reaching our older age more burned out than our unliberated mothers, who didn't have the luxuries of career, family, and technology running them ragged." - Phuli Cohan, The Natural Hormone Makeover: 10 Steps to Rejuvenate Your Health and Rediscover Your Inner Glow (Get the book.)

"It has a correlation bioenergetically to vaccinations for diphtheria, rabies, and tetanus. From a bioenergetic perspective, it is not too dramatic to say that the nervous system lies at the root of most illness, for our nervous systems tend to be overloaded and assaulted to the point that this most vital of information networks gets scrambled or partially breaks down." - Peter h. Fraser and Harry Massey, Decoding the Human Body-Field: The New Science of Information as Medicine (Get the book.)

"While concerns over the ill effects of vaccines make up as many headlines as do our efforts to invent new ones, it nevertheless seems prudent to underscore how much society as a whole has benefited from wide-scale vaccinations before launching into a deeper examination of the growing data finding a causal link between vaccines and autoimmune disease. If you were born about a hundred years ago and came down with a case of diphtheria, your life would have been at stake. At that time, thousands of people died routinely during disease outbreaks of mumps, rubella, and diphtheria." - Donna Jackson Nakazawa, The Autoimmune Epidemic (Get the book.)

"Amidst much public complaint and expressions of fear, many people, we included, were not able to get our vaccinations. Public health officials worried. The winter came and went; we did not get the flu. Then we got some insight from an article published in the Archives of Internal Medicine. Prior to 1980, about 15 to 20% of all elderly persons were vaccinated; by the turn of the millennium, that number had reached about 65%. It was assumed that a health benefit would be conferred on this larger proportion of the elderly." - Gerald E. Markle and Frances B. McCrea, What If Medicine Disappeared? (Get the book.)

"The Government therefore acted slowly, hesitantly—and still faced outraged opposition from a wary Indian public, which had also not forgotten the 'Mutiny', or the problems with smallpox vaccinations. Popular, medical, and administrative responses to the plague epidemics at the close of the nineteenth century illustrate the next phase of the interaction between medicine and empire." - Roberta Bivins, Alternative Medicine?: A History (Get the book.)

"And let me remind you that flu vaccinations are not innocuous. There is conjecture that the mercury and aluminum (metals that are known to have neurotoxic effects) in vaccine shots are associated with long-term adverse consequences. These vaccines can also overstimulate the immune system in ways that are not fully understood. For that reason, I recommend that only people with COPD get flu shots. OSELTAMIVIR AND ZELE In the past few years there has been mounting concern over bird flu. Are we all about to succumb to a global bird flu pandemic? Not likely." - J. Douglas Bremner, Before You Take that Pill: Why the Drug Industry May Be Bad for Your Health (Get the book.) "In fact, much of the reduction in death from infectious disease is due to public-health measures, including improved nutrition and sanitation. And vaccinations are not without potential danger. We still don't know the potential long-term effects of vaccination. An oft-repeated fact is that 36,000 people die each year from the flu. The government urges citizens to get vaccinated, presumably to prevent these deaths." - J.

"They can learn about their right to refuse vaccinations for their family. For example, in Canada, there are no laws that can force a person to be vaccinated against their will. Health officials, however, fail to inform the public of these rights. The question of taking vaccines is also an issue for adults. There is such a media blitz, especially toward the elderly, to have annual flu shots; yet there is very little evidence that they are effective." - Ron Garner, Conscious Health: A Complete Guide to Wellness Through Natural Means (Get the book.)
