Hi,

Remember when I said that they already had in the works mandatory shots for

adults? Well, this is the start. Seems those childhood vaccinations don't

give life-long immunity like the dis-ease does. Seems I heard that somewhere

before. Oh yeah, it was me ... and everyone else who has been pointing out

the flaws in the system. People, when are we going to stop the stripping

away of our personal freedoms?

ARTICLE 02/02/08:

Violation of Personal Freedom

As you know, I'm not exactly a fan of vaccinations. At best, they're

unnecessary. At worst, they're downright deadly. But the fact is that the

medical community (read: BIG PHARMA) has done such a bang-up job of

convincing everyone that they're an absolute necessity that in many cases,

you are LEGALLY REQUIRED to be vaccinated.

This gross violation of personal freedom was on full display recently when

the University of Southern Maine sent out notices to 400 students that they

were being banned from campus for failing to meet the latest vaccination

requirements for mumps. Yes, banned. This isn't anything new, you

understand. In the not-so-politically correct past, lepers were cut-off from

society and left to literally rot in colonies on remote islands. But these

students don't have mumps-they just haven't been vaccinated against mumps.

These notices went out after a recent mumps outbreak throughout the state of

Maine (officials believe this spread down out of Canada [yeah for socialized

medicine]). Among the 400 who've been banished from the halls of learning

(you'd have to wonder exactly what they'd learn at a university that's so

willing to employ these kinds of extreme, Draconian tactics) are 20 students

who have declined the vaccinations on religious or philosophical grounds. In

other words, those that stood up for their rights.

How seriously is the University of Southern Maine taking this " dangerous "

mumps health threat? So seriously that students who are medically exempt

from the vaccination are allowed on campus with " special passes. " (Reminds

me of the Nazis in old movies: " Show me your papers, please! " )

So now you're thinking, " Hold on, s - there's got to be a very good

reason for this. Mumps must be a deadly virus, right? "

The mumps are painful. There's fever. There's a swelling of the salivary

glands around the jaw. It's not pleasant, and it's another of those

childhood diseases like chicken pox which is much more painful to weather as

an adult. But to be clear: it's not gonna kill you. In fact, most common

treatment for the mumps is an ice bag and a couple of aspirin.

In the rarest of rare cases, the results could be a mild form of meningitis,

organ infections, Encephalitis (rarely fatal), and possible sterility in

men. And I suppose these " risks " could be considered serious if the

University of Southern Maine happened to be located somewhere in the Congo

where disease is rife, sanitation poor, and medical aid practically

nonexistent. But this is Maine - and last I heard, that was one of the

forty- eight contiguous States. Hardly the wilds of Africa.

So where did the University get the wrong-headed idea that they needed to

treat 400 of their student body like disease-ridden pariahs? From Maine's

state government, of course (I love putting blame where it so often belongs:

in the laps of unthinking, butt-covering bureaucrats). The Maine Center for

Disease Control and Prevention recommended that these actions be taken, and

they have amended the health codes on states college campuses to require two

doses of the vaccine. Most people receive their first and only mumps

vaccination not long after birth - it's known as the MMR (the same one that

has been linked to the rise in the number of cases of autism in children.).

The campus ban has caused all kinds of issues, especially for the

University, since it's now their responsibility to work to find off-campus

housing for the 400 affected students, and to make special arrangements to

allow these students to complete their coursework for the semester.

Of course, I'm probably the lone voice in the wilderness decrying this act -

yet another case of something stupid and dangerously wrong being enacted in

the name of " the common good. " But as if to underscore my point, there have

been a whopping eight laboratory-confirmed cases of mumps in the entire

state of Maine, and just thirty-five suspected cases (and all of these in

those who have already had their childhood shots). So I know who's being

ridiculous here. It's not the students - especially not the 20 students who

stood firm against the vaccination fascists. And it certainly isn't me.

Who's left? You do the math.

HONEY- Do

Fortunately, not all research concludes that the best cure is always found

at the business end of a hypodermic needle. In a nice counter to that

enraging vaccination story, there's a new study out about a simple,

non-medical, and darn tasty solution for children's coughs: a teaspoon of

honey.

According to a study published in the Archives of Pediatrics and Adolescent

Medicine, this homey folk remedy was better than cough medicine for

children. It calmed the cough, helped kids sleep better, and coated and

soothed the irritated throat.

This report is like a breath of fresh air. There have been recent warnings

about the dangers of over-the-counter cough and cold medicines for children

younger than age six, and (shockingly) some Big Pharma companies even

removed their baby cough-and-cold products from the market. Of course, many

parents already know that honey shouldn't be given to kids from birth until

after age one (there's a rare but serious danger of botulism).

I love it when grandma's old remedies are verified by research. This

particular study used 105 kids with upper respiratory infections, some were

given honey, others a honey- flavored cough medicine. All the kids got

better but plain-old honey consistently scored higher than the drugs at

combating the symptoms and without any side-effects.

Pretty sweet, huh?

COMMENTS:

The mumps vaccine is associated with adverse effects similar to the measles

vaccine. Since the mumps vaccine is usually given in combination with the

measles vaccine, reactions are difficult to accurately attribute to one or

the other. But since some parents feel that by getting these shots

separately they are safer but now two conditions have shown up that are

associated with the mumps vaccine and not with the measles. These are

meningitis and diabetes.. It has also been associated with fevers, seizures,

encephalitis, and severe atypical mumps disease. I also found one case of

pancreatitis in a 19-year-old woman 11 days after the MMR vaccination

accompanied by abdominal pain and vomiting, and confirmed by abnormal

pancreatic enzyme levels on blood tests (Adler et al., 1991)

According to Walene who has researched the subject for her articles

and books, she says When immunity to a disease is acquired naturally, the

possibility of reinfection is only about 3%. If the immunity comes from a

vaccination, the chance of reinfection is over 80%.

In one study of military recruits, the reinfection rate was 80% compared

with 4% in naturally immune individuals. This adulthood version of a

childhood disease is always worse, hence the name mentioned above, atypical

mumps (or whatever) disease.

Dr Hay has pointed out that in any epidemic of communicable

disease only a small percentage of the population contracts the disease.

Most people are naturally immune; so if a man who has been vaccinated does

not contract the disease, that really proves nothing. If he had not been

vaccinated, the chances are he would not have contracted the disease anyway.

He has said We have no way of knowing. In a sense, we have destroyed our

evidence.

Dr Dettman said (in an interview with Jay ), Just because you give

somebody a vaccine, and maybe get an antibody reaction, this doesn't mean a

thing. The only true antibodies, of course are those you get naturally. What

we're doing is interfering with a very delicate mechanism that does its own

thing. If nutrition is correct, it does it in the right way. Now if you

insult a person in this way (by giving a vaccination) and try to trigger off

something that nature looks after, you're asking for all sorts of

trouble.....

Natural diseases are a lot safer than acute artificial complications, Dr.

Mendelsohn (pediatrician) reminds us.

I could go on but hopefully you get the picture.

As for cough syrup for kids, the warning has been out ... heed it. I

remember my mom giving me honey with fresh lemon juice squeezed with it and

it worked great. This just goes to prove that those meds sold over the

counter are just as dangerous as those sold with a prescription.
