What Does It Mean To Have A Healthy, Well-Functioning Immune System, and Where Can You Get Yours?

amcquinn — Tue, 15 Nov 2011 19:11:14 +0000

Having struggled with chronic anxiety for the last fourteen years and after having tried everything under the sun without finding any healing, I was glad to have finally darkened the doorway of a practitioner of Heilkunst, namely Jeff Korentayer. Despite having previously consulted two classical homeopaths with nothing to show for it, I was willing to give this style of homeopathy a try. I can honestly say that Heilkunst has been the only thing I’ve found that has consistently created an improvement in my health since the very first remedy. Jeff has been a wonderful homeopath and has imparted a lot of information about the principles of Heilkunst and true healing to me. I don’t think it’s an overstatement to say that Heilkunst has saved my life. It has certainly brought me the closest I’ve ever come to feeling whole and well and finally embodying my true self.

Since 1985; each spring would be an Allergy nightmare caused by my allergic reaction to Tree Pollen and Grass and Mould and Mildew. Today I am free of any allergic reactions that made Spring the worst health season of the year for me. I used to use a steroid nasal inhaler, tons of Tylenol Sinus tablets of Advil Sinus tablets and pretty much any over the counter Allergy tablet to help ease the sinus pressure and pain. I also would suffer through a sinus infection or two during the same Spring Season.

Today I am pain free – Thanks to Dr. Ally!

Most folks come to us in order to get rid of something. Right there on the top of our new patient intake sheet, we ask you your health goals, and yet a “negative” goal (ie getting rid of something) is typically the first thing listed. Like myself, when I came to Heilkunst Medicine, I was looking to rid my son of severe constipation, autistic spectrum issues and repeated ear infections, bronchitis and bouts of pneumonia every time he cut a new tooth. I, too, was suffering Guillain-Barre syndrome and fibromyalgia-like symptoms with severe migraines, tumours, sinus infections and psoriasis. I, too, looked to my Heilkunst Physician to “fix me.” I was desperate and I’m so glad my issues were not properly showing up on my MD’s Richter scale, or I probably would not be here to write this today. Thank goodness that nightmare we were living was 15 long years ago, and has faded to a distant memory.

What does it mean to actually engage in this process called Heilkunst for your betterment, health and ultimate well-being? Well, my mentor Rudi Verspoor describes it no less than the “art and science for one’s salvation.” In fact, if you have the capacity to translate two hundred year old German with the founder Dr. Samuel Hahnemann’s organizing lenses on, that is precisely what Heilkunst means: the whole art and science of healing and curing. Dr. Hahnemann defined health in aphorism 9 of his Organon of Heilkunst Medicine as:

In the healthy human state, the spirit-like force (autocracy), that enlivens the material organism as dynamis, governs without restriction and keeps all parts of the organism in admirable, harmonious, vital operation as regards both feelings and functions, so that our indwelling rational spirit can avail itself of this living healthy instrument for the higher purposes of our existence. (O’Reilly/Decker translation, 1996)

Typically, the next question I will hear is, “Ok, that is great, but how are you going to get me from here to there?” Well, that would take 15 years of study of this dynamic system of medicine smartly condensed into 5-6 paragraphs, however, I’m game. The bottom line is, you assess the true root causes of disease through principled discernment (diagnosis) and then you activate all three jurisdictions of Heilkunst Medicine; Regimen, Medicine and true Education for the benefit of each patient. Simply put, you’re completely participated like the individual you are and while the principles for lawful curing never change, the way in which they are used to address your specific symptom picture will.

Let’s use my beautiful son as an example. His immune function was so compromised, there were times when I feared with a deeply held terror that he might actually perish. He was two months premature and with all the antibiotics and gut issues and behavioural issues, I thought his case was truly hopeless. Jordan was not thriving, in fact, he was barely surviving and the medications and treatments were just compromising his health even further. It is fair to say that I hated my life back then. When we began Heilkunst treatment, as a last ditch effort, I was at my wit’s end. God knows no other conventional or alternative modality was working.

The first things we did was make sure Jordan was drinking enough healthy, pH-balanced water, sleeping in a soundless, dark environment, getting enough sunlight and some light recreation that he loved (he was a baseball fanatic at the age of 3 and I would pitch to him for hours). The goal was to stabilize him enough to begin the physical and emotional detoxification process from a timeline of medical interventions, vaccines and genetic miasms from inherited diseases. This approach is very focused and your Heilkunst Practitioner will be able to outline precisely what the principles are, stripping off each layer of the onion in a very systematic and thoughtful way. You will never hear a Heilkunst Physician say, “Let’s try this!”. I’d heard that so many times before coming to this curative system of medicine and frankly I felt like a rat in a very poorly designed maze with no thought given to how to get to the cheese at the end.

Within four months, Jordan was improving monumentally. Our boy was thriving! Sure, he was also having the most amazing fevers and a couple of incidences of flu-like healing reactions, but these were explained to me by my Heilkunst Physician as a functional expression of his diseases and a marker to his burgeoning immune function, and I began trusting the process. Every time he had a healing reaction, something major in his development would shift to the better. One month he began pooping all on his own without a glycerin suppository or stool softener; one month he began speaking for the first time; one month he began climbing the play structure at the park; and one month he hugged me and told me he loved me for the first time. His immune function was naturally being restored as he never required antibiotics or any kind of conventional medication for anything of any significance from the day we began Heilkunst treatment. Jordan is now 17 at the time of this writing, studying to get his driver’s license, and brought home a mark of 95% on his Modern History test.

It is fair to say that the tougher part of our Jordan’s issues were resolving his mother’s state of mind. The reason for the whole mess of symptoms Jordan and I suffered were not just due to a nasty timeline of shocks and traumas, including my own mother’s suicide, my father’s demise to angina at the tender age of 43, and all 8 pronounced genetic miasms coming down my family line but also it was due to my entrenched belief structure postured around a perceived lack of support and abandonment. You can read all the nasty bits in my book, The Path To Cure; The Whole Art of Healing. As a result, I can spot a psychological resistance at less than 2 paces! Yes, our thoughts, beliefs, or spiritual diseases, can absolutely affect our immune system, and a person can reinfect themselves repeatedly of even cured diseases based on their state of mind. This is the area of Heilkunst that we love to specialize in.

So if you choose to come in this fall to work with us in order to bolster your immune function, you will find that we’ll quickly be able to assess where your weak links lie. After 15 years of study, we’re getting pretty good at this. In some cases it lies more in regimenal habits, like a lack of proper water intake, eating too much or too little food and perhaps not the right kind. In some cases, we may need to discern your blood type or glandular type to base your nutritional habits on scientific principles. You may have never been well since a surgical procedure or drug use, or even the death of a family member or series of stressful events, and we know how to strip these events from your matrix using homeopathic law and informational medicine. In many cases, folks like to avail themselves of a dose of our current homeopathic flu mix (oral dose vaccine) to prevent any strain of the flu for that year, which is included as part of our Winter Health Clinic free community service.

The other aspects that feature strongly in all cases are your individual genetic predisposition to chronic disease. By assessing your family’s preponderance for specific illnesses, we remove them on the basis of homeopathic law, like cures like. This is a big part of how we help to restore your immune function. We’re not about just trying something or shuffling the existing pieces around. We systematically remove the shocks, blocks and traumas and your body knows how to restore homeostasis, health and its stunning immune function. Our detoxifications are principled, our medical approach is principled, and our psychotherapeutic approach, again, is based on principles. We are trained to get consistent results and we also know how to repeat these results in every case. No guess work.

During my four year post-graduate research (it was supposed to be two) with Steven Decker, scholar par-excellence and translator for Dr. Hahnemann’s sixth edition of the Medical Organon) I asked him one poignant question, “So, are you telling me that after 15 years of research all roads point to the same conclusion? Immune function is just a fancy medical term for the ‘healthy sense of individual self’?” Decker responded, “Well, yes, Ally, but if the horse has never been to the barn ever before, it is up to you to guide it there with healthy feed, proper water, proper exercise, proper detoxification protocols, encouraging resonant relationships removing all of its impediments in its way to arriving. The healthy ontic will then masticate, and metabolize any unwanted bacterias or inimical potences encountered thereafter.” The question is, do you want to ride side saddle or straddle your spirited steed outright? In fancy medical terms, we still use the term, “Giddy up!”

First impressions of the Swine Flu

amcquinn — Thu, 30 Apr 2009 01:15:08 +0000

This morning, I received a few more e-mails from concerned patients who were wondering what we recommend to prevent the “Swine Flu” to prevent this alleged pandemic. As I was going to a breakfast meeting, I happened to turn on CBC and heard the scariest voice of false authority imaginable announcing all the precautions one must take to avoid contracting this “deadly” virus, although not one confirmed case has shown up in Ottawa as of this morning. The fellow with the very deep voice said to be on the look out for symptoms of nausea especially after returning from Mexico.

With less than 100 cases in the States, the very expensive U.S. Guard has been notified even though Congress dealt with a swine flu scare a couple years back that did not materialize into anything. And why is the military involved? Are they going to use vaccines for ammo.? What happens to you when you see young men and women dressed in black with helmets, shields and guns? Does this promote a safe feeling or fear in the average North American? Tuberculosis did more damage the year before and nobody called in the S.W.A.T. team for God’s sake!!!

As a Physician of Heilkunst medicine, it is my deepest goal to care for the health and well-being of myself, my family and my patients. I am ordained to do this out of being wholly connected to the principles and truth with regards to this dynamic system of medicine in service to myself and those that I serve. I recall once telling a young lifeguard that I will make the decision to swim where I wanted to and that he had no right to impose his belief structure about e-coli in the bay in the face of the capacity for my healthy immune function to over-come it. I told him that I would take complete responsibility for my choice. As he paced the beach, with his eyebrows furrowed, he finally called his Supervisor to “deal with me” who then threatened to call the police if I didn’t get out of the water. I told him, I would be happy to, after I finished my last remaining 3 laps. They watched dumbfounded that I did not acquiesce to their authority.

I would also like to introduce another time when Cholera was being studied as a potential epidemic:

“ Koch announced his discovery of the cholera vibrio in 1884. His conclusions were based upon the constant finding of the peculiar “comma bacillus” in the stools of cholera patients, and the failure to demonstrate this organism in the feces of other persons. It was not possible to reproduce typical cholera in laboratory animals. At the time the “germ theory” of disease had not yet obtained general acceptance [they eventually got this botched science through to us, though], and Koch’s announcement was received with considerable skepticism, particularly after it was found that similar “comma bacilli” could be found at times in the feces of persons not suffering from cholera, and often in all sorts of other environments – well and river waters, cheese, etc. We now know that these were saprotrophic species of Vibrio, which may be differentiated from the cholera vibrio by cultural and immunological methods [Yes, boy that is helpful in explaining away the truth]. But the correctness of Koch’s opinion was dramatically demonstrated by von Pettenkofer and Emmerich who, doubting the etiological relationship of Koch’s organisms, deliberately drank cultures of it. Von Pettenkofer developed merely a transient diarrhea, but Emmerich suffered from a typical and severe attack of cholera. ”

by A.T. Henrici, The Biology of Bacteria, DC Heath and Company, 1939. ASIN B00085GABK,

You will notice that the Mechanistic Material Scientists didn’t study the phenomena behind why Pettenkofer only suffered “transient diarrhea” and that our immune functions are not championed, supported, and trusted to maintain our health and well-being. Most folks are so paralyzed in fear as it is from prior traumas, like 9/11, that adrenaline has been shooting us up from inside ever since. Worn out adrenals brings about resignation and what I call, the “sheeple” complex. Over time, we just become resigned in the face of authority whether they have our best interests at heart or not. We become like sleep-walkers, puppeted by media, the big Pharma and the Government. We become prey!

We are always here to offer you a calm, and rational alternative, should you wish to have a homeopathic vaccine, and other remedies to boost your immune system, and allay your fears.

Another Botch for the Allopathic Flu Shot for 2009

amcquinn — Thu, 15 Jan 2009 22:53:03 +0000

Yes, folks, this is typically the scenario that arises every year. If you listen closely you can hear the Center for Disease Control say, “Whoops, we missed the strain for this year’s flu shot – sorry. Please try to overlook the fact that we’ve poisoned you, unnecessarily. Oh, and sorry also about your babies and your grandparents who also received virus from last year’s flu strain. We now know that it didn’t work this year after all just like the year we also tried to administer the prior year’s flu virus without the Avian flu being contained, and now we’re going to scramble to make another one for 2009 to poison you again with just the right live strain, you’ll see, just so that we can make a ton more cash before March! Try not to notice the anti-freeze and the Mercury being injected into your bodies, those are just the preservatives we use. Try not to pay any attention to that fever or that little bit of paralysis you may suffer later, it’s not related at all. Oh, and sorry that ADHD, Autism and Alzheimer’s are becoming epidemics, but we can never be sure what “gifts” we impart to humanity, because frankly, we’re entirely focused on getting this B-strain right before March.”

For the watered down media’s version, please see this link.

As most of you know, you can receive the homeopathic dose, which causes no harm, on the principled basis of homoprophylaxis and that we’ve tracked 99% efficacy over the last 9 years. The Center for Disease Control offers less than 15%. The proof is in the pudding.

21st CENTURY FLU SHOT: ‘Tis the Season for Heilkunst

jkorentayer — Mon, 01 Dec 2008 19:26:41 +0000

BY Debra A. Grant

Reprinted from both Nepean This Week and Barrhaven This Week (online), Nov.25, 2008
If you’re one of the growing number of people rolling your eyes rather than your sleeves this flu season, there exists a safe and healthy alternative to the conventional flu shot that won’t touch your arm or your wallet.

Jeff Korentayer, a doctor of Heilkunst medicine, is one of several Ottawa-area, alternative medicine practitioners who offer some form of free homeopathic flu remedies throughout the fall and early winter flu season. The co-owner of Arcanum Wholistic Clinic says that his clinic’s Heilkunst remedy has “tracked a greater than 98 per cent efficacy in over hundreds of participants” since this service was first provided in 2002.

The one-time, oral dose is available at the clinic’s Bells Corners home/office, in addition to its Centretown location in the city’s downtown core. Most of the 15-minute appointment will be spent explaining how the remedy works, and answering questions, says Dr. Korentayer.

One of those questions undoubtedly revolves around the concept of “Heilkunst,” translated from German as the practice (“kunst”) of making whole (“heil”). More than 200 years ago, it was proclaimed by its founder, Dr. Samuel Hahnemann, as a complete medical system, transcending and encompassing the homeopathic tenets already discovered by this medical maverick.

This wholistic approach considers the roles of mind, emotion, and spirit, as well as physical body, upon one’s state of health. Unlike conventional (allopathic) medicine, which merely treats the symptoms of illness, Heilkunst roots out the underlying causes of disease. Treatment plans are tailored to the individual, whose life experiences can be explored via a variety of methods, such as the “sequential timeline” of documenting and treating physical and emotional traumas, working backward from the most recent event.

Korentayer’s personal triumphs via Heilkunst involve the permanent elimination of allergies, which he says “occurred within a few months.” This success ignited the desire for serious study of a path which eventually became a career for the psychology major.

Korentayer’s wife, business partner, and fellow doctor of medical Heilkunst, Allyson McQuinn, discovered her career while searching for a cure for her autistic-spectrum baby. She authored a book entitled “The Path To Cure: The Whole Art of Healing” to document this journey.

The practice of Heilkunst purportedly addresses and eliminates the negative effects of the drugs of conventional medicine, a subject linked with safety concerns associated with conventional flu shots and other vaccines provided by “mainstream” medicine.

“There are a great number of issues with vaccinations in general, and the flu shot in particular,” says Dr. Korentayer. “The medical problems boil down to two basic questions of safety and efficacy. On the question of safety, there have been numerous side effects, and health complications which include fatalities. This is due to the tremendous toxic load that is included with flu shot ingredients, which causes a great burden for the body to detox from, and is especially difficult where there are underlying immune system or health problems to begin with.”

With regard to efficacy, he goes on to say that “the key problem is that of the changing nature or identity of the flu strain from year to year. The CDC (Centre for Disease Control) has a very poor track each year (less than 15 per cent) in attempting to guess which strain might be coming each winter, something they need to do far enough in advance to have time for manufacturing the vaccine in mass quantities.”

Korentayer also noted that “conventional vaccines are only designed to attempt to induce an antibody response, which is the most superficial aspect of our immune response to infection, and on its own provides very little, if any protection.”

These issues are included amongst several areas of concern currently being researched by Korentayer, the results to be published in an upcoming resource book for parents, entitled “The Vaccination Myth.” The publication will help parents decide whether or not to vaccinate their children, and to show them “how to navigate through all the massive amounts of information available from both sides in this controversial debate.”

A website (www.thevaccinationmyth.com) has also been set up. Current content is sparse, but new material will appear over time.

In the meantime, the team of Korentayer and McQuinn continue to provide multiple Heilkunst services, in addition to the flu shot. Services include: sequential removal of shocks, traumas, and conflicts from cellular memory; lifestyle education (diet, exercise); detoxification; balance of hormonal issues; homeopathic vaccination (travel and childhood); homeopathic protocols for symptoms, conditions, chronic health issues; treatment of deeper emotional blockages.

Required immunizations in Canada; What are your rights?

amcquinn — Tue, 04 Nov 2008 15:49:28 +0000

…”Unlike some countries, immunization is not mandatory in Canada; it cannot be made mandatory because of the Canadian Constitution… legislation and regulations must not be interpreted to imply compulsory immunization.”Arcanum: Many Canadian individuals are under the false pretense that they are compelled to give their child required immunizations in order for them to be able to attend public school or preschool. My son, Jordan, suffered vaccine damage and when I put my foot down and stopped giving him any vaccines after the age of 15 months, I signed a form “Statement of Conscience or Religious Belief“ , had it signed by a person authorized to sign affidavits: notary publics, barristers or solicitors, a Justice of the Peace, a judge of the Superior Court or a designated Commissioner of Oaths and my son has successfully attended schools and camps without an ounce of trouble. …If someone (e.g. employer or health ministry) decides to take away another’s freedom of choice, THEY should be the ones burdened with the responsibility of defending this – the burden should not be placed on workers to prove they are deserving of a right that the law already guarantees. The union should staunchly protect their rights – particularly since we are talking about a right engrained in The Constitution.”Arcanum: We have served many nurses who are enraged at their employers who insist on compromising their health as a result of imposing mandatory vaccines. Their employers and unions need to do their due diligence with regards to hijaking another human being’s intrinsic rights and freedoms. It is profoundly painful to work to mop up the medical havoc caused by compromised immunity from vaccine damage; chronic ear infections, pneumonia, bronchitis, and even unexplained paralysis are some of the after effects we’ve been contracted to address after vaccinations of Military and Hospital staff. We know scientifically that these allopathic shots are the cause, because when we treat sequentially and when we hit the vaccines on the patient’s timeline, their health and immunity is restored, so don’t try and tell us that it isn’t the vaccines. Take a look at Sgt. Mike Kipling’s campaign to fight his employer, The Canadian Military, after he suffered symptoms he feels were related to the Anthrax Vaccine. He touts that individuals having received this vaccine suffer a nebulous condition they’ve called Gulf War Syndrome and that “informed consent” is a mystical construct used by this government body to try and protect the mandatory sledge hammer.…”There is no compensation, by anyone, for anyone injured from the vaccine.”Arcanum: That is why it is important to ask for the lot and batch number and to track where each injection is administered. We had a young girl live with us from Mexico one year who suffered an adverse reaction to a vaccine. When we took her back to the Doctor two days later, they had lost her file, they did not know which arm the injection was administered, and they could not identify the batch or lot number so when we went to the trouble of reporting it to Health Canada, we didn’t have even a wooden leg to stand on.… “Unlike some countries, immunization is not mandatory in Canada; it cannot be made mandatory because of the Canadian Constitution… legislation and regulations must not be interpreted to imply compulsory immunization.”Arcanum: Most individuals don’t know this. When we lecture on the issue of Vaccinations, we are always asked the question, “Aren’t vaccines mandatory in Canada. Won’t my child be denied an education if I don’t vaccinate?” As we said, you are one form away from freedom. The other thing parents are concerned about, naturally, is also safely protecting their children from childhood diseases without causing any harm.We act on the law of homoprophylaxsis to safely and naturally immunize resonant folk, and their babes, including those working in the health care industry and the Military, using homeopathic remedies which include Influenzinum, Measles, Mumps, Rubella (German Measles), Diptheria, Polio, Tetanus, Pertussis (Whooping cough), Pneumococcinum, Hib, and even Varicella for Chicken Pox. We follow vaccine schedules championed by Dr. Isaac Golden in Australia who has been using homoprophylaxis for years with better success rates than the Allopaths. This way, your body and your rights are protected.For more information on this subject check out:Canadian Vaccine Laws by Chris Gupta who writes a News Blog called Share the Wealth Immunization: History, Ethics, Law and Health by Catherine DiodatiDownloadable Ontario Vaccine Exemption Form

The Flu Vaccine Myth

amcquinn — Wed, 08 Oct 2008 01:31:53 +0000

I would love to say I wrote one of the best article out there on the myth of flu vaccines, but I would be lying, as it already exists. This article written by Croft Woodruff for Alive Magazine back in April of 2000 is a stellar piece of work and the research holds boldly true today. If you would like to check out the original article, and the juicy links provided on-line, you can by following the highlighted link to the original article:

The Flu Vaccine Myth
by author Croft Woodruff
Statistically, you’d be more likely to avoid the flu if you took nothing at all. So why are we subjected to the flu vaccine media blitz each year?

In Vancouver, a BCTV reporter, commenting on the current flu epidemic that is overloading BC hospital emergency wards, claimed that of 32 people who were vaccinated, 30 caught the flu. Immediately, the news anchor intoned “It is not too late to get your flu shot. The vaccine is 70 percent effective.” [BCTV News Hour, January 11/00]

How does a 93.75 percent failure rate for the vaccine translate into a 70 percent effectiveness? Here is a vaccine with a success rate of 6.25 percent. This is an amazing under-achievement, since the average placebo response to distilled water injections is 30 percent–even to cure chronic low back pain.

How can any drug company manufacture a drug which has nearly five times less of a positive response than virtually nothing at all? How does such a questionable treatment get past federal health regulators?

According to Hugh Fudenberg, MD, the world’s leading immunogeneticist and 13th most quoted biologist of our times (nearly 850 papers in peer review journals), if an individual has had five flu shots between 1970 and 1980 (the years studied) her chances of getting Alzheimer’s Disease is 10 times higher than if she had one, two or no shots.

When asked why this was so, Fudenberg said it was due to the mercury and aluminum that is in every flu shot (and most childhood shots). The gradual mercury and aluminum buildup in the brain causes cognitive dysfunction. Is this why the number of those suffering from Alzheimer’s is expected to quadruple?

Creating herd immunity through mass vaccinations seems to be justified in the name of sacrificing a few for the greater good of the majority. It means people are expendable. Some would call this premeditated murder. This was what the Nuremburg Trials were about after World War II.

People cannot and must not be medicated or subjected to experimentation against their will. It also flies totally in the face of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights.

Vaccines consist of mainly three categories of ingredients. The first are cultured bacteria and viruses. The second ingredient is the medium in which they are cultivated. This may be chick embryo, chicken or duck egg protein, pig or horse blood, dog kidney tissue, monkey kidney tissue, calf serum, rabbit brain tissue, aborted human fetal cells or cowpox pus. These foreign proteins are injected directly into the bloodstream. They are not subject to the stomach’s hydrochloric acid. The enzymes of digestion are absorbed into the blood and carried directly to the liver.

Like insect stings or snake bites, these foreign proteins and other toxic byproducts have the potential for a mild to severe or fatal reaction.

Vaccines also contain stabilizers, neutralizers, carrying agents and preservatives such as formaldehyde, mercury and aluminum. As noted previously, mercury and aluminum are neurological poisons-they accumulate in the brain. Formaldehyde is a known carcinogen and is used to embalm the dead. There is no safe level of formaldehyde injected into a living organism.

Life After Vaccines

Sweden banned the pertussis vaccine in 1979, considering it both dangerous and ineffective –infant mortality dropped afterward. Sweden now maintains one of the lowest incidence of infant mortality in the world. In 1975, Japan raised the age of the pertussis vaccine to two years of age considering it a danger in infancy. Since that time, Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS) has largely disappeared.

Nations with voluntary vaccine programs such as Canada and the United Kingdom have lower infant mortality rates than the US. Before the 1960s and the move to mandatory mass childhood vaccinations, the US had the second best infant mortality rate in the world. Forty years of mass immunizations later, with a childhood series of more than 34 vaccine mixtures prior to entering 1st grade, the US has dropped to number 24. Why does the wealthiest nation in the world, with all its vaunted health technology and medical know-how, have such a dismal record for infant mortality?

Every year in the US, 12,000 to 14,000 reports of adverse reactions associated with vaccinations–including hospitalizations, permanent brain damage and death–are reported to the Food and Drug Administration. Any drug on the market with a fraction of this record would be recalled in short order. Recent Measles Mumps Rubella (MMR) vaccine campaigns in the US have coincided with a 200 per cent rise in the incidence of autism. Hepatitis B vaccine alone has been responsible for 25,000 reports of adverse reactions including optic neuritis, brain damage, paralytic polio and sudden death.

There is not an insurance underwriter who will offer liability coverage for drug companies in the event any of their vaccines cause death or disability to the recipient. One would think this should give cause to reflect on the value of official assurances of vaccine safety. Indeed, the US government assumed liability for vaccine damage because the manufacturers could not get insurance. Since 1987, over a billion US dollars have been paid out to compensate only 10 percent of the claimants.

The current effort to make vaccines compulsory world wide will be a license to print money for the vaccine producers and an iatrogenic health disaster of the first magnitude.

Health professionals and others in work situations requiring compulsory vaccines are faced with hard choices. If there is a family history of allergy or anaphylactic reaction, they may be able to apply for exemption on medical grounds. Otherwise, you take your chances with vaccine roulette.

Injecting Fear through Media Campaigns on Flu Shots

amcquinn — Mon, 06 Oct 2008 20:17:05 +0000

Ottawa Sun

Monday, October 6th, 2008

CHICAGO — More children have died from flu because they also had staph infections, according to a report in the October edition of Pediatrics that urges parents to have their kids get the flu shot.

The number of deaths wasn’t high — 73 during the 2006-07 flu season — but there was more than a fivefold increase in hard-to-treat complications. The percentage of those who had bacterial infections jumped from 6% to almost 36%.

Public health officials say the numbers underscore the importance of a brand new recommendation that all children, from six months through 18, get routine flu shots.

More than half the children who died were between the ages of five and 17 and had been healthy until they got the flu. Only 6% of the children studied who died had been fully vaccinated against the flu.

My reply to the Sun on this article sent today:

By advising parents to get the flu-shot for their children, you are actually perpetuating a lie. If you look at the Centre for Disease Control, you will see that there is only 15% efficacy for the annual flu shot as this year’s strain has never been accurately predicted by the pharmaceutical industry. Also more people end up compromising immunity because of the toxicity from the live virus and the thimerosal/mercury used as preservative. Your mis-information that the live viral influenza shot will cover off a Stapholococcus bacterial infection, which is a completely different strain, is scientifically botched information and a stain on your ability to report accurate information. If your goal is to use fear mongering on innocent parents, your job is well done then.
