I've read some of the studies that 'prove' there is no relationship between vaccines and neurological and autoimmune diseases. These studies simply point out blatantly that not enough is known about the impact of vaccinations on the immune system and the neurological system and further research needs to be done to undrrstand the impact of the heavy vaccination schedule. This study enforces the need.

People really are as blind to this as I thought as a child going through similar processes of forced medication, days in isolation, restraints for normal childhood reactions to provocation, and being diagnosed more problematic and drug-worthy "disorders" because I spoke out. Kids as young as 2 years old are in facilities like these all over the country. I was in one at the age of 5. It's past time to wake up!

It's now a question. Vaccines are obligatory in Poland. Eveyone have to receive over 14 types for it for over 11 diseases. Now is a question. If so ,why is still 1 : 88 autists not conversly. Vaccine complications conected with obigatory of vaccines are more caused metabolic rare problems, lack of oxygen. Not same vaccines make problem, but misdiagnosis and not respecting diagnosis and warning symptomes(first vaccine has to be canceled if child was born with hypoxia or parents have problems with acumulations of some minerals and substantions.

I read somewhere also that a Nigerian pharmacy school ran GC analysis of a jab used in Africa and they found sterilising agents in them.

Unfortunately, yes, it's common practice among midwives - but they are in the forefront of ending the practice. It's even done in third world nations where there's no health care. It spread like wildfire when first started a century ago.

Does it even happen that homebirth-midwives are practicing cord-clamping immediately?

Heidi - This technical article may scare a few people away. However, the sound premise can be simplified further for parents to understand that the stronger their immune system, the better health will they endow their children. Most everyone has heard, "You must have come from good stock," when talking about long-lived healthy grandparents and parents.

Breast feeding has proven far more efficient at combating polio. It is a bit of a complicated explanation but essentially the milk protects the baby's digestive system by creating a barrier that polio can't cross. Polio actually got worse due to the medical system and its usual interfering and meddling buy promoting formula over breast feeding claiming it was more clean and sanitary.

Thus far, I've seen nothing that demonstrates any life-saving benefit of vaccines. The historical records don't show it, and year-on-year data are not representative of the whole picture.

Yes, the study does go to an extreme - but it also shows harm with far fewer injections of bacterial toxins in a significant number of mice, and it makes quite clear that injection is, itself, an issue. Also, the specific mice used in the experiment are resistant to autoimmune diseases, which should also be a cause for concern. Most human are not engineered in that manner.

I agree that adjuvants are a major concern in vaccines. Gaia Health has discussed the issue many times.

Whether any vaccines are justified, I don't know. But I am certain that we have crossed the line into absurdity in their application, and most assuredly have applied bad science to promote them.

Vaccines save millions of lives. If we stopped vaccinating children, many millions would die needlessly. Certainly, we are guilty of over-vaccinating, and for schools to require non-life-saving vaccines like the HPV vaccine is just wrong. We need to THINK and search-out more information.

The above mentioned study injected a bacterial toxin known to cause inflammation - 8 times! Yes, that is excessive. It is no wonder the mice had issues. Thankfully, we don't usually do more than 2 boosters for most vaccines!!!

One thing to consider, however, is the adjuvents used in these vaccines. I would guess that the adjuvents have an impact on autoimmune conditions, and certain precautions should be taken to limit the amount of specific adjuvents that get injected into any one individual.

And NO, you don't need to get a flu shot every year. Get the flu and let your immune system fight it!!!

And yes, I am a scientist.

The practice of cord clamping has taken hold everywhere, even in most tribal societies that see very little modern medicine.

I believe that we are now seeing damage due to repeated vaccines throughout generations. They have done major harm to our immune systems, maybe not ours, but to our children's and their children's. We are so bombarded with thousands of chemicals these days, that just one more will push many over into immune diseases. There are far too many vaccines now especially considering they have admitted to not being able to remove viruses such as SV40 from them. And yes, it is happening, the repeated vaccines are going to be far worst for everyone than the few who might have contracted the disease in the first place.

Heidi you're the best, I am enjoying your well worded arguments and fully agree. Don't let these fear induced coma patients get to you. Everyone needs to follow their instincts with this one., Should you inject poisons and viruses into your body? .... no.... if your inner self does not answer in that manner then you should start eating right, stop watching TV, go out into nature, meditate and do some yoga, then keep asking yourself until you realize how your flawed logic has clouded your judgement.

Wasn't the importance of handwashing discovered right around the time all these vaccines became..."popular"?

I didn't make the claim that vaccines don't work. I merely responded to someone who claimed they do work, but without any evidence. It is not incumbent on me to prove anything.

Do you have more than one reference that vaccines don't work?

Interesting. According to your logic, your interpretation detracts from the credibility of the article.

The citations say what they say. Seriously, how can this be out of context? -

"Reports in many Polish and foreign medical journals lead us to conclude
that postvaccinal complications among children can be observed in
sporadic cases and that they are disproportionate to the benefits of
vaccination in the elimination of dangerous diseases in childhood."

It's the full sentence. Nothing is missing. And nothing written directly before or after it could possibly change its meaning. The authors state that reports in many medical journals lead them (the authors of the review) to conclude that vaccination adverse effects are more serious than the diseases they purport to keep children from getting. When you also add in later parts of their review - where they provide information that clearly indicates some of the vaccines don't provide any benefit at all - it's rather obvious that what I wrote fairly represents what they have to say.

I suppose I have a hard time believing this article. It feels to me that the citations and quotes you used were pulled out of context. I certainly interpreted them in a different fashion than the way you did, which detracts the credibility of this article.

I'm sure the two Oxford professors in their letter to the Guardian said 242 genes! They're just totally off this planet I would say but do you reckon it's OK to call it "pseudo-science"? I mean, I totally agree that's what it is but, cos it's being carried out by trained (and thus indoctrinated) scientists they reckon it really is proper science and THEY use the pseudo word to describe the thoughts of those who have not been so channeled.
I term it misguided science or grant oriented work. Thus their work is technically OK/fine but meaningless for the real world. This probably describes at least 90% of professional research, probably more.
In my world these is no connection whatsoever between biomedical research and the drugs companies and all research data is open and free for any after users

You do not know that to be true. You believe it based on claims, and only based on claims.

No one claimed that diseases "just decided to die out". There is no question that it has to do with sanitation, food, and water.

Working in a lab with infectious diseases doesn't change these facts. You're entitled to your opinion, but not to invent your facts.

Vicki Rue — Tue, 14 May 2013 12:57:12 -0000

May I point out that smallpox no longer even exists because of vaccination? Saying that the disease just decided to die out on it's own is ignorant. How many hours a week do you spend in the lab working with infectious diseases, may I ask?

Re: Vaccines Do Irreparable Harm: Study from Poland

Heidi Stevenson — Tue, 14 May 2013 12:10:12 -0000

Absolutely true, Marika. In fact, the second part covers that particular point, which is in the review.

If people won't look at the graphs that clearly show that no vaccine can ever be proclaimed responsible for the decreases in disease rates, they have no business commenting. They merely demonstrate their ignorance.
