Most of us in the alternative health field have reservations about the government’s rush to inoculate nearly everyone with the swine flu vaccine this fall and winter. With the possibility of adverse effects from the vaccine itself and the heavy metals that are used as preservatives, we must continue to ask ourselves, “What is the greater risk… the flu or the vaccine?”
Read on to learn more about why these concerns continue to mount…
Last week Dr. Jonathan Fielding, Los Angeles County’s health officer remarked at a news conference that three shots of the vaccine may be needed for adequate protection of the swine (H1H1) flu. He also urged medical personnel to sign up for the vaccine before treating the public.1
Meanwhile, the CDC is recommending that the most at-risk populations receive the vaccine first. These groups include pregnant women, healthcare workers, parents and caregivers for children under 6 months old, people ages 6 months to 24 years, and those ages 25 through 64 with chronic health disorders or compromised immune systems.
It sounds like a well-thought out plan — provide sufficient vaccine to cover all strains of the flu and protect the most vulnerable. That is, until you read an August 15 article from a major British newspaper, with the following headline:
Swine flu jab link to killer nerve disease:
Leaked letter reveals concern of neurologists
over 25 deaths in America
The confidential letter was sent from British government officials to 600 senior neurologists. It was written by the British Health Protection Agency and leaked to The Mail On Sunday.2 The cause of concern is the possibility that the vaccine could trigger a brain disorder called Guillain-Barre Syndrome.
GBS attacks the lining of the nerves and causes tingling in the legs followed by temporary paralysis. In many people, the arms and upper body are also affected. Most people recover, but GBS can be fatal if the whole body becomes paralyzed and the affected person cannot breathe.
But that’s not the only worry. According to Dr. Tom Jefferson, one of the additives in the swine flu vaccine is a substance called squalene. It’s a naturally occurring enzyme on which there is no research to support its use as a vaccine filler. That means there could be as-yet unknown side effects.
And the 25 US deaths mentioned in the headline?
That refers to 1976 when the swine flu vaccine killed 25 people —more than the virus itself. It also triggered 500 cases of GBS and increased the risk of contracting the condition eightfold.1 The vaccine was recalled after only 10 weeks and the government paid out millions to people that were affected. In the short time the vaccine was available, 40 million people were vaccinated.
The British government is obviously very worried they may face the same health disaster with the latest swine flu vaccine.
Why?
The most obvious answer is that the H1N1 vaccine has been fast-tracked for testing and approval in both the US and Europe. While this will prove its effectiveness against the flu, it won’t prove its short and long term safety — and many like Dr. Arthur Schafer of Canada are worried.
He is asking publicly if the long term risks of the vaccine in healthy people are justified —especially when the evidence shows the H1N1 flu itself is only a mild strain.3 And he says, many other health professionals are contacting him to voice the same concerns.
Back in May, Dr. Lisa Forgione wrote a great article on protecting yourself from the swine flu —through common sense prevention and boosting your immune system. You can read it again by clicking here. And don’t forget to boost your intake of vitamin D. My July 15 Undercover tells you why.

Dear Staff:
Regarding the One Minute Cure book and the additional book. It has taken me a long time to scan over your advertisements, promises, and people cured. And then I am supposed to buy a book and receive an additional book. And then I imagine, I am supposed to buy whatever condensed product is advertised!
As you had to do, if you cared more about people and less about a book or 2 sales, Would have been to contact Ted Kennedy in person and asked him to try the medicine! If it had cured him, you would have had all the advertisement and support that would have been possible in this world. Just listen to his eulogies.
I believe the oxygen, and even the diet, treatments. I have heard of many solutions caused by the oxygen chambers. However, my sister tried to get well (after seeing an MD who prescribed sinus treatment!) by visiting and buying so many vitamins that her husband was appalled when he went through her papers. Her diagnosis was about 4 months before death of metasticized brain cancer. And the relatives(her husband, eg) who won’t allow autopsies to help other relatives!are of little help. My sister’s husband smoked like a chimny with dirty ashtrays. She got worse when they went to a central air house. Also, people at work smoked. So there was even less good air. She did not use pesticides in her garden, but when young, she helped with the 2 necessariy farm sprays.
Then my brother had renal cell cancer. Had physicals yearly. Diagnosed late, at 3rd stage. Removed kidney. No treatment so he could continue flying helicopters for 4 years. Then 2 experimental treatments, and one more that works for some cancers but not for renal cell cancer - fought it for 4 years. Good attitudes. No diet suggested!!! that has helped others. No oxygen therapy in the manner acceptable to MD s. Wonderful, wonderful hospital and doctors. Very fat assistants to care for patients. Why wouldn’t a cancer hospital work with their staff to lose excess weight?
I know that Apricot Pits have been banned in this country, or at least made difficult to acquire. My dad benefited by a combination of a few seeds and a few pits daily around age 40 when he had prostate swelling. In later years, he also resumed taking them and never had problems. He died age 90. His other organs wore out. My brother was on experiments, so he could not or would not take apricot pits to see if they would help. I suppose we never thought to push the idea to him during the 4 years after diagnosis, when no other treatment was being given.
So if you really care about people, you will take note of important people and try to reach them. Perhaps even Michael Jackson would have accepted your meds, since he was in such pain and sleeplessness and insisted on weird, dangerous treatments. As I say, you missed your chance when you did not reach Ted Kennedy!!!
Why do I have to buy a book, when you could have a little booklet with facts and access to the special item that oxygenates everyone?
I have so many books and info now that I can’t read them all, and you want me to read even more, after plowing through your wonderful testimonies, and especially the advertisements mixed in with them?
Sincerely,
Sheri

Any time a well known individual contracts a disease like cancer it is an opportunity to tell the world about what doctors are not taught in their Pharma financed medical schools - or allowed fo know about or use by our FDA/Pharma collusion.
A collusion I call the Medical Mafia.
This Medical Mafia acts exactly like the Chicago gangs did in the 1930’s. “Use my services/stuff or its concrete overshoes in the river for you ( doctor) .”
The first change to achieve health care would be to reverse the means of support and guidance of the FDA.
Support needs to be by the people it serves. Guidance needs to be from the successful doctors who offer affordable effective medical CURES. Not the perpetual multiple treatments of symptoms as is now the medical objective. An objective based on the profit motive, not health.
Alternative medical care excample: Encephalitis - meningitis - both deadly brain infections often related to colds or flu, are seldom successfully cured by conventional medical care that takes weeks of expensive pharma drugs with hospitalization - OR ! in hours by a few csnts worth of Silver Micro Colloid - or Pennies of H2O2 or massive intravenous doses of Vitamin ‘C’. Why are the quick easy safe ways not normally used? The FDA
approves the long hard way, Medical schools teach the hard way. Conventional doctors are not taught the short, successful alternative methods. This is one example of hundreds of like health care situations. The three alternative methods are self applied, effective for almost every known disease or infection even including stuff like snake bite, food poisons, burns. These remedies can’t re-set bones but can speed recovery. Why not normal in all medical practice?
The FDA is determined to make medicine profitable for Pharma. ( Not doctors who are, in general, under paid unless they are on the take from the Pharma products they are paid to ’sell’ via prescription.
Health care is the sickest industry going! It needs what alterantive doctor can give it. Bob

Entered: August 26th, 2009 at 2:31 pm. PermalinkI believe the Medical establishment uses the general public
to test their new vaccines and medicines. Years ago, the
dead virus was injected into people. Now, we are injected
with live viruses. So, if your health is not great, you
are at risk to say the least. The AMA and the drug companies
have total control over what is and isn’t best for the US
public, concerning our health. The money, propaganda and
lobbyists these companies have to support and defend their products is unbelievable. So what can we do? We are on a
fast track to losing our rights; even the right to choose
what medicine we wish to take; which may kill you.
I’ve studied nutrition, prevention of disease, reversal of disease, anti-aging for 40 years-I began early with my studies. Is there a test that can/would be given to those who have good background knowledge and desire to futher their education and then help others in the field of heatlh. I want to help others, but need a mentor/coach -I don’t want to waste my knowledge and need assistance with this.
