(vaccines) Seeking An Alternative by Ian Sinclair

[Guest guest]

Excellent - Followers of Natural Health or Natural Hygiene also prefer not

to use homeopathy. I too would prefer their approach but in the real world

with the contamination we see, I also see homeopathy as a non toxic

assistance program.

Seeking An Alternative - Part 1

As parents become aware of the dangers and inefficacy of childhood

vaccines, they will, for obvious reasons, seek an alternative approach to

safeguard their children's health.

Many parents choose a practice known as " Homeopathic Prophylaxis " sometimes

referred to as homeopathic vaccination. Other parents employ vitamin and

mineral supplements in the belief that they will strengthen their child's

immune system, while others prefer their children to contract the childhood

infections in the belief that it will give them natural life-long immunity.

There are many parents who are just plain uncertain or confused as to what

alternatives to embrace and therefore live in a constant state of fear and

anxiety over their children's health.

So how do those parents, who reject vaccination yet remain uncertain of the

alternatives, choose an approach that gives them the confidence and

certainty of safeguarding their children's health?

In my opinion, such parents must do two things;

Firstly, they must gain a clear understanding of the root causes of

childhood infection. This will not only reveal to them the reasons why

vaccines are ineffective, but more importantly, it will reveal to them the

true means of disease prevention.

Secondly, they must gain a clear understanding of what childhood infection

is. This will enable parents to overcome their fears of childhood infection

and offer them an insight into a method of treatment that not only allows

their children to recover from childhood infections quickly and without

complications or suffering, but ensures that their children will be in

better health afterwards.

The Root Causes of Childhood Infection

Common sense tells us that the prevention of childhood infections is only

possible by removing it's root causes. Now the World Health Organisation

acknowledges that malnourishment, polluted water supplies, poor sanitation,

and poverty and despair, causes the deaths of tens of thousands of children

each year in Third World countries from measles, whooping cough, tetanus,

tuberculosis and many other infectious diseases. Significantly, these

deaths occur despite widespread vaccination coverage in these countries.

The reasons why vaccination fails to prevent these tens of thousands of

deaths should be obvious to any logical thinker. Vaccines do nothing to

correct the nutritional status of a malnourished child. Vaccines do nothing

to purify a child's body that has been poisoned from drinking polluted and

contaminated water. Vaccines do nothing to raise the vitality of a child

whose vitality has been depleted through poverty and despair. Vaccines do

nothing to remove the root causes of childhood infection and other

infectious diseases and it is for this reason that vaccines have failed to

prevent the tens of thousands of deaths in Third World countries.

In the developed countries like USA, Australia, England etc, deaths from

childhood infections are quite rare, however, there are still thousands of

cases of measles, whooping cough, chicken pox etc reported annually.

Although the root causes of childhood infections in these countries are

less obvious, they are, I believe, most often related to faulty diet,

overfeeding, and chemical and toxic pollutants. Once again, herein lies the

reasons why vaccines provide no protection against these childhood

infections. Vaccines do nothing to correct the nutritional imbalances

caused by faulty diet. Vaccines do nothing to unclog the digestive and

intestinal tracts of overfed children. And vaccines do nothing to detoxify

a child's body which is encumbered with chemical and toxic wastes. Vaccines

do nothing to remove these root causes of childhood infection and this is

evidenced by the fact that in the US, England, Australia etc, up to 90% of

reported cases of measles, whooping cough and other so-called vaccine

preventable diseases occur in fully vaccinated children.

Now at this point of time, some readers may be wondering where " germs'' fit

in to all of this. After all, aren't outbreaks of infectious disease caused

by the spreading of germs from person to person? Isn't measles caused by

the measles germ? Isn't chicken pox caused by the chicken pox germ? Isn't

whooping cough caused by the whooping cough germ? Aren't childhood

infections caused by all the different germs out there?

I do not deny the existence of germs within the body nor do I deny that

they can be passed from person to person. However, I do not accept the

medical belief that they represent the root cause of childhood infection or

any of the other infectious diseases including AIDS. So that you may

understand my reasons for rejecting the germ theory of disease, it will be

necessary for me to take you inside the body and explain to you one of the

most important metabolic functions in human physiology - the process of

elimination.

The Process of Elimination

Elimination is the process whereby metabolic wastes, toxic chemicals and

foreign substances are eliminated from the body via the normal channels of

elimination, mainly the kidneys, lungs and bowel. The important thing to

realise, is that the efficiency of this process, like all other metabolic

processes, is primarily dependent upon the health and vitality of the body.

Anything that weakens or compromises health, eg malnourishment, faulty

diet, impure water, overwork, fatigue, stress, etc will impair elimination

which results in a build up of internal waste matter, a condition commonly

referred to as Toxemia. In the world of Natural Health, it is believed that

many diseases including the childhood infections and other infectious

diseases are a direct result of this condition.

Toxemia can also develop if the amount of chemicals and foreign matter that

enters the body exceeds the body's normal eliminative capacity. For

example, lets say a child's body can eliminate around 100 units of toxic

waste a day. If the amount of toxic waste produced in that child is around

120 units a day, then this means there will be 20 units of toxic waste that

the child's body has been unable to remove. If this continues day after

day, then over a period of time, the result will be an accumulation of

toxic waste within the child's body leading to this condition known as

Toxemia.

This may come as a shock to some parents, but I don't believe there would

be a child out there, who, raised under the conventional lifestyle, would

be free of this condition. Poor parental health, drugs and vaccines,

impoverished breastmilk, fluoridated water, overfeeding, chemicals in the

diet, pesticides, negative emotional states, etc etc all contribute to the

development of Toxemia in children. Little wonder that sickness in today's

generation of children is so endemic.

By understanding the toxemia theory, one is in a perfect position to

clearly understand where " germs " (bacteria and viruses) fit in to all of

this. Bacteria are micro-organisms known as saprophytes whose biological

role is to breakdown organic waste matter into simple molecules which can

then be transformed back into living substances. The role of bacteria in

the body is not to attack cells or tissues but to breakdown organic waste

matter for disposal and recycling. As for viruses, Natural Health regards

them as merely products of cellular decay which play no part in disease

causation. It's worth noting that Louis Pasteur, the scientist credited

with the germ theory of disease, ultimately admitted that it was not the

seed (germ) but the soil (toxemia) which was the determining factor in

disease. Rene Dubois, the most renowned microbiologist of the 20th century

wrote " Viruses and bacteria are not the sole cause of infectious disease,

there is something else. " What is this something else? Toxemia.

So what it all comes down to is this. If a child develops measles, chicken

pox, whooping cough or any of the other childhhod infections, it is not

because of germs, it is because of the toxic conditions in the child's

body. Whenever some type of infectious disease is diagnosed in a child or

adult, regardless of what name is given to it, regardless of whether it is

viral or bacterial, the underlying cause is always toxemia. This explains

why vaccines fail to prevent disease for they do nothing to remove the

toxic conditions of the body out of which the various bacterial and viral

diseases arise.

I wrote in Part 1 that in order for parents to choose an alternative

approach that gives them the confidence and certainty of safeguarding their

children's health, they would need to gain a clear understanding of the

root causes of childhood infection and what childhood infection is. By

understanding the Toxemia theory, not only do parents gain a clear

understanding of the root causes of childhood infection and the means by

which it can be prevented, but they are in a position to clearly understand

what childhood infection is.

What Childhood Infection Is

Let's go back to the example of a child whose body is capable of

eliminating 100 units of toxic waste a day. If that child's body produces

120 units of toxic waste a day (as a result of the conventional diet,

fluoridated water, chemical pollutants, vaccines etc), then this means that

there will be 20 units of toxic waste that the child's body has been unable

to eliminate. If this continues day after day then obviously, over a period

of time, there will be a gradual build up of toxic waste within that

child's body creating the condition known as toxemia.

This condition is very harmful, for toxic waste is poisonous, and if left

unchecked, then it's retention within the body will ultimately lead to

cellular damage and destruction, or in other words, serious disease

including cancer. Fortunately, there are safety mechanisms within our bodys

that are switched on whenever our toxicity levels rise above the normal

level. These safety mechanisms are designed to reduce excess toxicity.

In infants and children, the most common safety mechanism that the body

employs to reduce excess toxicity is fever. Fever is not a mistake, it is

not something evil, it is not the body trying to fight off germs. Fever is

an emergency reaction by the body which is designed to speed up the process

of elimination. This dramatically reduces toxicity levels thereby

restoring the health of the child. This safety mechanism, like all other

safety mechanisms that the body employs, is governed and controlled by the

innate intelligence of the body, and this intelligence knows exactly when

to turn the fever on, and exactly when to turn the fever off.

Whenever fever is present, the body will activate a number of other safety

mechanisms which are designed to facilitate and assist in the reduction of

toxicity. During fever, the body will neither need or want any food and

therefore it will shut down the digestive system resulting in a loss of

appetite. If, during fever, any food is present within the digestive tract,

then the body will eject it either through vomiting or diarrhea. During

fever, the body directs all its energy towards this process of elimination,

so the general energy level of the body will be greatly reduced resulting

in tiredness, lethargy and fatigue.

During or after the cessation of the fever, there may be localised areas of

inflammation which is another safety mechanism the body employs in order to

reduce toxicity and promote healing and repair. There may be swollen glands

whereby the swelling increases the glands capacity to filter toxic waste

from the bloodstream. In many cases the body will eliminate toxic waste

through the skin which will manifest as skin eruptions, blisters, red spots

or rashes. Throughout this entire process the central nervous system will

be on full alert and therefore extremely sensitive to the level of toxic

waste in the circulation, and its subsequent elimination from the body.

This can result in headaches, aches and pains, nausea and general discomfort.

Now if it hasn't yet twigged, then what I'm about to tell you is probably

the most crucial point of this whole article. Whenever a child develops

measles, chicken pox, whooping cough, mumps, rubella or any other so called

childhood infection, the child will experience the exact same symptoms that

I have underlined above. So what all this means is that measles, chicken

pox, whooping cough, mumps, rubella or any of the other so called childhood

infections, are not infections caused by germs, but are in reality, safety

mechanisms which are designed to reduce inner toxicity to a safe level.

Whether you wish to refer to them as childhood infections, safety

mechanisms, crises of elimination, acute illnesses, cleansing processes,

healing crises or whatever - measles, chicken pox, rubella, whooping cough,

mumps etc all arise from the same underlying cause - toxemia, and all of

them serve the exact same purpose - the elimination of toxic waste from the

body.

By clearly understanding what childhood infection is, parents are in a

postion to understand a method of treatment that not only allows their

children to recover from childhood infections quickly and without

complications or suffering, but a method that ensures their children will

be in better health afterwards.

Method of Treatment

If childhood infections are indeed the body's way of reducing inner

toxicity, then it stands to reason that the method of treatment employed

should do nothing to suppress or interfere with this process, and

everything to assist and support it. In the world of Natural Health,

whenever a child develops measles, chicken pox, whooping cough or any other

childhood infection, the most common method of treatment is as follows;

The sick child is immediately put to bed in a well ventilated room. If

weather permits the child is often placed outdoors in a shaded area where

it has maximum exposure to fresh air. If the weather is cold the child is

rugged up to preserve warmth. During the fever no food whatsoever is given

to the child, not even fruit juice. Pure water is made available to the

child should thirst be experienced. Two or three times a day, the child is

sponged down with luke warm water to ensure cleanliness. No effort is made

to suppress the fever.

The duration of the fever will in most cases last anywhere between 24 to 72

hours and throughout this period noise is kept to a minimum so that the

child's rest and sleep remain undisturbed. Once the fever subsides and the

child's desire for food returns, fresh fruit or fruit juices are given for

the first one or two days then slowly other wholesome foods are

reintroduced. If any skin rashes or eruptions appear, short periods of

sunbathing to the child's naked body are applied. No oinments or creams are

used. Some parents also resort to a technique known as hydrotherapy which

utilises bathing, hot and cold compresses, and plain water enemas. The

bathing and compresses serve to relieve discomfort, promote circulation,

induce calm and sleep, whilst the enemas help clear congestion in the lower

bowel, a causative factor in many childhood fevers.

This method of treatment, as taught by Natural Health, does nothing to

suppress and everything to assist this inner cleansing process. Children

treated in this manner not only recover quickly and without complications

or long term suffering, they are in fact in better health afterwards

because their body’s have been cleansed of the accumulated toxic wastes. It

is not uncommon for these children to experience growth spurts or

noticeable improvements in their physical, intellectual or creative

abilities following these acute cleansing episodes. This occurs because

their bodies, no longer burdened by toxic and chemical poisons, can operate

at a much higher vitality level.

For those parents who are considering adopting this approach in treating

childhood infection, it is my opinion that they should first thoroughly

acquaint themselves with Natural Health or Natural Hygiene philosophy. This

will give them the knowledge and the confidence they need to become totally

self-reliant in the treatment of childhood infection and other acute

childhood illnesses. It is also wise for parents to seek out those health

practitioners who support this philosophy so if at any time uncertainty

arises they can find professional guidance.

I will not say that it has never happened, but in the many years that I

have studied and researched this philosophy, I have never come across a

case of a child, who, diagnosed with a common childhood infection and

treated in accordance with Natural Health principles, has suffered any

complications or died. It is my firm belief that in the industrialised

countries like USA, Australia, England, etc, if a child develops measles,

whooping cough, chicken pox or any of the other childhood infections and

subsequently goes through any long term suffering, or experiences any

complications, or dies, then the causes can be directly attributed to wrong

treatment which in most cases includes suppressive drug therapy. It is to

this that we will turn our attention to in Part 6......

Wrong Treatment and Its Consequences

(Note: In this section I am referring to treatment of childhood infections

in the industrialised countries. In third world countries, the high rate of

morbidity and mortality from childhood infections is due entirely to

malnourishment, starvation, polluted water, poor sanitation and the absence

of holistic health care facilities.)

In the world of Natural Health, complications from childhood infections are

virtually unheard of, yet, in the world of Orthodox Medicine, complications

are numerous and well documented. They include encephalitis, otitis media,

pneumonia, bronchitis, reye's syndrome, myocarditis, arthritis,

convulsions, mental retardation, apnea, brain damage, cerebral haemorrhage,

pulmonary edema, paralysis, urinary tract infections and high blood

pressure. The question is - WHY?

Let me repeat my earlier statement where I said " If childhood infections

are indeed the body's way of reducing inner toxicity, then it stands to

reason that the method of treatment employed should do nothing to suppress

or interfere with this process, and everything to assist and support it. "

In the world of orthodox medicine, the method of treatment includes many

measures that do nothing to assist and support, and everything to suppress

and interfere with this process.

What must be kept foremost in mind is that the common symptoms of the

childhood infections ie fever, vomiting, diarrhea, bacterial action,

swollen glands, skin eruptions, inflammatory reactions, etc, are all

curative in nature, their purpose being to reduce the inner toxicity of the

body. As you would be aware, the medical approach towards disease,

including the childhood infections, is to use drugs which are specifically

aimed at suppressing the symptoms. So drugs are given to reduce the fever,

drugs are given to reduce the inflammation, drugs (antibiotics) are given

to kill beneficial bacteria, drugs/creams are given to suppress the skin

eruptions. On top of all this the sick child continues to be fed when it

neither wants nor needs food, and the drinking water offered will in most

cases be fluoridated chlorinated tap water. If hospitalised, the child

will be treated in air-conditioned wards without access to fresh air. This

whole approach in the medical treatment of childhood infections can be

likened to firing at your own soldiers whilst they are battling the enemy.

The consequences of this type of suppressive treatment will be obvious to

any logical thinker. The child's body will be forced to retain the toxic

poisons that it is attempting to eliminate, and to add insult to injury,

the child's body will be further poisoned by the drugs that are being

administered. How a child subsequently reacts to this treatment will vary

from child to child. For many a child, the symptoms will subside and the

child will appear to recover, yet within the child's body, lies this

residue of uneliminated toxic waste and drug poisons. This may result in

another crisis of elimination (childhood infection) several weeks or months

later, or it may manifest as a less acute crisis of elimination such as

eczema or asthma. Or the child's body may be forced to redeposit this waste

matter into less vital areas of the body, thus laying the foundations for

chronic disease in later life.

For other children, their bodies will continue the struggle to reduce

toxicity, despite the imposition of suppressive drugs. However, instead of

this cleansing process taking only a few days, it may actually take a few

weeks and involve a great deal of distress and suffering on the part of the

child (not to mention the parents). When you hear of these children who are

hospitalised with whooping cough for example, and spend up to three months

in hospital fighting for their lives, what you should realise, if you don't

already, is that their hospitalisation and subsequent struggle to survive,

are a direct result of suppressive drugs, incorrect feeding, fluoridated

chlorinated water and lack of fresh air! Not to mention the negative impact

that separation of a child from its parents has on its emotional and

spiritual wellbeing.

Tragically, there will be a minority of children, who, for reasons of

increased susceptibility or inherited weaknesses, will experience the type

of complications listed above, and in rare cases, succumb to their

condition. If you happen to know of any child, who, having been diagnosed

with one of the common childhood infections, subsequently experienced any

degree of suffering, or complications, or died, then just find out how the

child was treated. I believe that in every case you will find a history of

wrong treatment and suppressive drug therapy.
