Historical Data Shows Vaccines are Not what Saved Us
I read this today, and while I still try to see both sides of the issue, some of the things I hear about vaccine damaging people is just hard to get past.
Just reading about the link between soda and obesity, which makes sense, but it makes me sad, as soda is one of my few nutritional vices.
But the soda I drink is generally Hansen's, or Jones, both without high fructose corn syrup. All the same, I know that all that liquid sugar isn't good for me. It's not fair... :)
I'm going to have one now to commensurate...
I thought that this was an interesting article on the dangers of WiFi. I'm around wireless radiation constantly through the day, so this is the start of a topic that I've been researching. Just because the FDA gives it's good blessing on the safety of WiFi and radio frequency radiation, doesn't mean I'm convinced it's completely safe. But then again, these days WiFi is nearly inescapable, and even if you had no wireless broadband/cell radiation in your house, your neighbors are sure to. And look outside the window and there's bound to be a cell tower not far from view.
Even living in remote places in the country you can't escape some sort of satellite radiation. Maybe it's harmless, but my thinking is, the technology is so new, how can they know for sure at this point?
The video I posted talks about how some individuals in the medical community are avoiding H1N1 and urging their friends and families to do so as well. This is interesting, and a little alarming, in light of what I just heard on the radio the other day with the head of the CDC telling people to get the vaccine. It also sounds as if the testing has been minimal, and per the video children in Oklahoma were used as "guinea pigs" for testing.
What frightens me most is things such as the bill being drafted in Massachusetts which, in light of the potential pandemic, allows health officials to invade homes and detain without warrant, as well as fine individuals who refuse the shot. Granted, that's one state, but I live in Texas, where the governor wants Gardasil vaccine required for ALL girls in the state. It's one thing for the government to recommend a vaccine schedule, and another thing completely to mandate it by law.
So I'll keep my eye on the news regarding swine flu, and pray that this isn't the "epidemic" that the media plays it up to be.
Here's a link to an interesting article about some of the darker history of vaccines. Frightening, and it is bothersome that this type of material rarely makes the mainstream media (or even Readers Digest, but no real surprise there.)
Read more...I've been ordering most of my supplements from iherb lately. The prices, for the most part, seem to be better than I can find locally, and I like that they have a large selection of freebies that you can get with your order. Plus free shipping is a plus, too. It's a site without a lot of flash and dazzle, but it's got a decent selection of products, and I think I've been able to find 90% of whatever I was looking for.
If you check out iHerb, you can use code YUZ753 to get a $5 off credit (at least, I think so. This is what the site says.) Shameless self-promotion, I know, but hey, why not.
I've been reading on a number of sites about the possibility that the swine flu vaccine will be mandatory by law. I'm not sure if there's any ground to this, but considering that vaccines are mandatory for public schools, colleges, and even some pediatric clinics, this isn't completely unthinkable. I ride the fence on the vaccine issue: I think there can be some advantages, but at the same time, the current schedule is pretty heavy, and I wonder if scientists have really done a thoroughly-comprehensive study of these drugs and the effect that they have on the body, also factoring in environmental conditions. I do not believe that any vaccines should be mandatory, though, and that individuals should be free to opt out of receiving them, so it can be a little frightening reading some of these articles.
Read more...The FDA declaring mercury fillings to be safe is highly questionable to me. I've heard some mixed things from, of all people, my own dentist. We talked about about mercury fillings, and while he does believe there can be some risk to these, the likelihood of these leaking is rare. The other thing he mentioned is, to have mercury fillings removed involves wearing down remaining tooth material to get them out. They don't just melt out, but you need to wear away the tooth further to get these out. So there's a trade-off involved there. Frankly, the idea of a mercury-based item situated in one's teeth does not seem like a good idea. My understanding is that it's mercury in vaccines that also causes these products to be suspect as well.
This gets into the area of heavy-metal detox, which is a new subject that I'm just beginning to research now. I've heard of a few foods that help remove toxic metals from the body, and I also know that fasting is supposed to do the same thing as well. I'm curious to learn more about what one needs to do to get toxic metals and chemicals out of the body.
The film "Iron Monkey" featured plenty of goofy kungfu action and silly dialog, but during one scene in the film, the hero is shown making some very tasty-looking food, such as this dish here. Best I can judge there's some red pepper, green onions, mushrooms and greens at work in this dish, and it looks very tasty! I wish that the film had included a recipe...
