Guest guest Posted January 31, 2009 Report Share Posted January 31, 2009 Attitude has a lot to do with it too! DH used to say, " I get a cold at the beginning of every winter. " I pointed out that he EXPECTED a cold every autumn. It should not have occurred as we absolutely stuff ourselves with raw seasonal fruit and veg! When he stopped saying it, it stopped happening. Now he says that he never gets colds or flu. In fact, he was the most heavily vaccinated of all of us - military, yet maintains rude good health since he had adult onset measles at age 23, (well, he SAID he was an adult!) and constitutional homoeopathic treatment. Another thing I read years ago, the stress imposed on new recruits (measurable increased cortisol levels) means that disease usually sweeps through the barracks, even the so-called vaccine preventable ones against which they HAVE been vaccinated. The other time is when cortisol levels climb before deployment, even when it isn't a war zone - also extra jabs given depending on destination. I wish I had a reference for that. If I find the hard copy I'll scan it & upload to something like photobucket. Maracuja From: Tara <tkrey@...> Subject: Just wanted to share...about my friend who is NEVER sick Vaccinations Date: Saturday, January 31, 2009, 9:15 PM I had an interesting conversation with a friend from work the other day. We were talking about being " sick " and getting colds and flus and any other type of illness, and she mentioned how she is virtually NEVER sick..and even though her DD is in day care she never catches what her daughter has and she comes down with a cold MAYBE once a year at the MOST. So I said, " .. ..can I ask you a question? Were you fully vaccinated as a child? " And she replied with, " No, I wasn't vaccinated. My parents didn't take good care of us and we grew up on a farm and never saw the doctor. " I was thinking to myself....even if they " didn't take good care of you " they sure did SOMETHING right!! I then told her that I believe that people who are unvaccinated are far healthier..and that we don't vaccinate our daughter. If that doesn't plant the seed.....I don't know what will!! Just wanted to share! Sure it's anecdotal... ..but it's " proof " enough for me! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 31, 2009 Report Share Posted January 31, 2009 That's a wonderful story...thanks for sharing Tara! Similar to a generation or more ago when people were at least initially fed organic food, which was just normal food before the 50's. They also had less vaccination then I believe. My mother only mentioned getting one shot, she just passed away at 72. Your friend probably also benefited by exercise on a farm, and may have other things going for her.

Guest guest Posted February 1, 2009 Report Share Posted February 1, 2009 Jim, I totally agree. We had a dear friend that was NEVER EVER sick. She lived a very healthy life even into her 70's. She went to the doctor one day for a checkup...they took some blood for routine testing. Long story short, they found out she had brain cancer and within 6 mos she was dead. I really think that the mind has a lot to do with getting/being sick. She had lived a completely normal life before knowing she had cancer and wasn't ever sick and didn't have any symptoms of cancer, but then they tell her she has cancer and she became a different woman...she aged YEARS in just those 6 mos. I wonder how long the cancer had been growing before she actually found out and if she hadn't found out, how long she would have lived...??? a **************From Wall Street to Main Street and everywhere in between, stay up-to-date with the latest news.

Guest guest Posted February 1, 2009 Report Share Posted February 1, 2009 Interesting that this is brought up. I've been thinking about this lately. My husband (born in the 60's) was not vaxed as an infant ( though he remembers getting some in school),raised on a farm. Does not get sick,no allergies, or if he does it is only for a moment. Example: last jan I and my mom an bro and sil got a flu with simultanous vomiting and diareaa lasting about 4 hours(sorry for the detail) my husband had one trip to the bathroom with diarea and done. I also just asked him today if he remembers his parents getting sick when he was a child, and he said no, I also don't remember my parents sick in bed back then and it seems like being laid up stuck in bed is commonplace. Just food for thought... Diane > > > I had an interesting conversation with a friend from work the other > day.

Guest guest Posted February 1, 2009 Report Share Posted February 1, 2009 Speaking of attitude and illness. A personal experience. Some years ago My wife an I were working our business 13/14 hours a day, seven days a week. This was for a little over a year. There were other stresses beside the business. Well one day it really got to me. I said man I need a couple of days out of here. If I had a legitimate reason like getting sick, I would have a good excuse. The business at that time literally could not work without either one of us. In about an hour or so I started to sneeze, I began blowing my nose and was feeling a little shaky. When I realized what was happening, I knew immediately why it was happening. I went down for lunch and spent a little time instructing the powers that be, that I could not and would not get sick just to avoid the problems. The symptoms left as fast as they came. I also run a lot. There have been times while perfectly well would hit the 4th or 5th mile, and my nose would start running like I had a serious head cold. Amazing when I stopped running and emptied the mucus I was fine. Well maybe I out ran all those nasty little bugs that we are brainwashed into believing are the cause. There are many authorities that believe 80 per cent of illness is in the mind. If that's anywhere near true, the allopaths know it and capitalize on it.

Guest guest Posted February 1, 2009 Report Share Posted February 1, 2009 My dad will be 76 in May. He still drives well, is mentally sharp and witty, plays golf as often as possible, has only lost a few of his back teeth, NEVER gets sick, and enjoys helping the " old " people at the senior citizen's center where he volunteers. He NEVER went to the doctor or dentist when we were growing up while my mother went ALL THE TIME. (Once he even drilled through his thumb while doing a home improvement project and STILL wouldn't go to the doctor. He poured some kind of homemade concoction on his thumb and refused to even take Tylenol for the pain. He said, " I don't need that stuff. If you drill through your finger it's supposed to hurt! " The finger didn't show any signs of infection so he just let the injury run it's course. [i am NOT recommending this approach, just reporting what happened.]) Long story short...my Mom died at 65 and was on 17 medications when she passed. She was a physical wreck most of our growing up and worried constantly about her health. She was angry that my dad wouldn't go to the doctor although I am not sure why. After my mom died (7 yrs ago), my dad decided to go to the doctor a few times and they immediately tried to put him on medication to lower his cholesterol and wanted to do a lot of poking and prodding to " see if he had anything else wrong. " After taking the medication for about two weeks and thinking about the tests the doctors wanted to do, he decided to go back to his previous healthcare plan...lemon water in the morning, onions in your socks for a fever, massage for headache, etc...and is doing just fine. Just something to think about I guess. I'm not suggesting that people never visit a doctor, but I am definitely making my visits few and far between.

Guest guest Posted February 1, 2009 Report Share Posted February 1, 2009 I know this is getting off topic and don't want to annoy anyone with that.. I was just wondering if anyone here on the list had information regarding balloon dilation of the intestine from strictures caused by scar tissue. Please email me offlist castlelunn (at) gmail (dot) com. Thanks!! ~ " Our lives begin to end the day we become silent about things that matter.

Guest guest Posted February 1, 2009 Report Share Posted February 1, 2009 Well, since my daughter was born I have had 3 colds and suppose that is due to my diagnosis of hypthyroid. My MD said that I get run-down because I am breastfeeding?! I have gotten cold sores, colds, etc. I do admit - I do not get enough sleep. I am on hypthyroid medicine and hate it. I have tried synthroid and am now on levo. They tell you levels are fine, just stay on the medicine, and that you have to take medicine the rest of your life. I have tried a chiropracter, and 3 doctors. No one can give me the right cure, or a way to be medicine free. Supposedly Oprah is, but she doesn't say how or any details. I have been on the natural thyroid, iodine, stop the thyroid madness.com and about.com thyroid websites and none of them know how to or tell you to get off medicine either. I really want to get off this medicine and figure out how to control my thyroid naturally - but for the love of God cannot figure out how to do this. So, I am wondering why persons can figure out how to not treat selves for cancer and sometimes cure themselves, but other diagnoses we still have a lot to learn about natural or even NO treatment.

Guest guest Posted February 2, 2009 Report Share Posted February 2, 2009 Thanks for sharing! Now that you have brought that to my attention I am going to ask my parents if I was vaccinated. I am rarely sick either. I will let you know what I find out. ________________________________ From: Tara <tkrey@...> Vaccinations Sent: Sunday, February 1, 2009 12:15:40 AM Subject: Just wanted to share...about my friend who is NEVER sick I had an interesting conversation with a friend from work the other day.
