Guest guest Posted August 22, 2004 Report Share Posted August 22, 2004 Great story, Laurette. And we can add antibiotics and hormone replacement therapy to that too. Being a Chiropractor and in practice for 25+ years, I've had many opportunities to say 'I told you so' to my patients (and believe me I don't miss a chance, I'm old and crotchety now so I've earned the right :-) ). I hope and pray that some day I will be able to say that about vaccines too!! *Your Health Is In Your Hands* If they only knew then...... * So I was talking to my Mom over lunch yesterday, and trying yet again, to get her to stop smoking already. She's tried several times, but apparantly not enough as she is still lighting up. Respectfully, she doesn't do it around me or my kids, but she does do it. She laughed a little during our conversation and told me a story.... She recalled watching a show on TV when she was a child. It was sometime in the 50's. She said it was a documentary type show and there was some scientists saying how recent studies have shown that smoking cigarettes may be the cause of cancer and they warned that it is dangerous to continue smoking. Mom continued her story, explaining that she told her father and older brother what she'd just heard on the TV (they both being smokers) and they laughed at her. My grandfather told her not to beleive all the " crap " she hears on TV, and that she's watched too much of it that day anyway. He got up and shut the show that she was watching. Mom never thought about it much after that and figured it was just a bunch of nonesense, just like everyone else thought it was. Now, having this conversation with me at lunch, she recalled that memory and said " Well, looks like they were right, and everyone thought that was just a crazy notion... cigarette's causing cancer?? what a bunch of horse-(blank)! " Hearing this, bells went off in my head. I smiled and I said to Mom " you see? the human race makes mistakes. " and I added " Mark my words Mom, by the time my kids have kids of their own, a great majority of the world will realize the dangers of vaccines and their uselessness, and think that we were all ignorant for not beleiving it. " So I've decided that when someone insists to me that they are safe, I may want to point out that only 50 years ago, everybody thought cigarettes were safe. Just felt like sharing Laurette Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 22, 2004 Report Share Posted August 22, 2004 I imagine that 100 years from now (and I would like to be here for it, God willing!) what we consider medicine now will be considered barbaric, cruel, ignorant and even sinful. Of course that is what some of us consider it to be already, but it may take a century for the rest of the world to come around. Laurette Oh, and I don't mean to be religious on this forum, I know it's not the place for it, but I just wanted to share.... I am Christian, and pretty spiritual. I belong to two groups, one live and one online of fellowship. I mentioned about the vaccines and naturally they think I'm looney, despite my efforts to try and warn mothers-to-be among them. The online group includes a Pharmeseutical Phd, so you can imagine my struggles with him... Anyway, I finally said I had to stop talking about it because I got tired of the endless critisism and lack of understanding and it was just too frusterating. Satisfied that I spread the " seed " I backed off... but I left them with this (the online group). I told them that when I made the final decison, after all the research, I prayed about it and asked myself " what would Jesus do? " and the answer was resounding! There is just no way, that Jesus would want me to poison His children. I wanted to repeat that here (not that any of you need convincing) because I totally and honestly beleive that that is the ultimate answer. I am doing what God wants me to do and through that, I will be protected. Unfortunately, my best friend (who I speak about often) is not religious so this statement means little to her. Sigh. But I wanted to share it with ya'll anyway, maybe it will help at some point in your daily lives, with some situation.

Guest guest Posted August 23, 2004 Report Share Posted August 23, 2004 Good point - and you can tell just about anyone that if God intended us to injest mercury, aluminum, formaldehyde, etc that He would not have made these things POISONOUS to our bodies! > I imagine that 100 years from now (and I would like to be here for > it, God willing!) what we consider medicine now will be considered > barbaric, cruel, ignorant and even sinful.
