Flu Shots - These are NOT something anyone
should receive.
According to the Centers
for Disease Control (CDC) the 2008 flu season is ramping up to be one of the
worst flu seasons to date, and, "the
best way to prevent the flu is by getting a flu vaccination each year." In
fact, they are recommending that the following groups all get vaccinated
this year:
·All children 6 months to 18
years old (previous recommendation was 6 months to 5 years old)
·Anyone over age 50
·Pregnant Women
·Anyone with chronic medical
conditions
The CDC has a goal to
vaccinate an astonishing 261 million people this year!
Why the push? The CDC
claims that 36,000 people die each year from the flu, and that getting the
vaccine will prevent you from getting the flu, therefore saving your life
(1).
How much of this is true?
Do you need the vaccine? Is it safe or effective?
Let's take a look at the
numbers first - do 36,000 people die from the flu each year?
According to the Centers
for Disease Controls own Vital Statistics (the exact same website
that claims that 36,000 people die from the flu each year), 1100 people died
from the flu in 2004, 1812 in 2005 and 860 people died in 2006 from the
flu. This has actually spiked dramatically - deaths in 2001 were only 257.
Of those deaths attributed to the flu, very few are actually determined
for sure that they are tied to influenza (2).
So why does the CDC claim
that 36,000 people die from the flu each year? Apparently researchers with
the British Medical Journal wondered the same thing when they asked, "Are US
flu death figures more PR than science?" They concluded that the numbers
are inflated to scare the public and sell more of the vaccine (3).
Consequently - they come up
with the 36,000 based on two things - 1) a flu epidemic in Hong Kong that
killed about 34,000 people, and 2) by combining flu deaths with pneumonia
deaths (which is completely different from the flu and even if the flu
vaccine did provide immunity against the flu it would not provide
immunity against pneumonia).
Despite the outright lies
about the numbers, if the flu shot is effective then you want to
get the shot, right? Let's take a look at that question: Is the flu shot
safe or effective?
If it were effective then
certainly health care workers (HCWs), who are exposed to the flu and other
diseases every day, would line up to get their vaccine. According to the
Journal of Internal Medicine, that isn't the case. The overall vaccination
rate among HCWs is just 38%. The study concluded that "The overall
influenza vaccination rate among HCWs in the United States is low.
Interventions seeking to improve HCW vaccination rates may need to target
these specific subgroups" (4).
Regarding the effectiveness
of the shot, it is important to know how the manufacturers determine what
strains of flu to put in that year. They travel to Asia early in the year
and collect data, then guess as to which three flu strains will
work their way across the ocean for the beginning of the flu season.
According to the Think
Twice Institute:
"Flu 'experts' often guess
wrong. For example, in 1994 they predicted that Shangdong, Texas, and Panama
strains would be prevalent that year, thus millions of people were
vaccinated with a flu shot that contained these viruses. However, when
winter arrived, the Johannesburg and Beijing strains of influenza circulated
through society. The vaccine was ineffective. This happened again in 1996,
and again in 1997. More recently, the vaccine created for the 2003-2004 flu
season contained flu strains that did not circulate through society that
year. Officials were once again forced to admit that millions of people were
vaccinated with an ineffective vaccine (5)."
But what if they guess
right for the year and the flu vaccine does contain the correct
strains? We'll answer that with a question: Do you know what is in your flu
vaccine? You may not want one even if they do guess right, simply because
of the ingredients.
Here are some of the
ingredients:
·Chick embryos
·Three flu viruses that were
collected in Asia in January or February
·Formaldehyde (that's right
- the stuff they embalm humans with and classified as a known
cancer-causing substance by the International Agency for Research on Cancer)
(6)
·Thimerosal - a mercury
based preservative which can lead to brain injury, autoimmune diseases and
autism
·Sodium Phosphate or Sodium
Chloride
·Gelatin
Do you want to inject ANY
of the above ingredients into your bloodstream??? Even if they guess right,
you can count our staff out! We don't want any of the above things injected
in us!
For a humorous (and
somewhat sad) look at the ingredients put in the flu shot, check out the
video below.
So should you get a flu
shot? At Health And Wisdom we do not give medical advice of any kind, but
we feel it is your right to know all of the above
information and then make an informed decision about getting a flu shot.
"It is not the critic who counts;
not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the
doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man
who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and
blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again,
because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does
actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great
devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows
in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he
fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall
never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor
defeat." -- From The Man In The Arena by Teddy Roosevelt

"Today many people want to be free to do
as they please, but consider this: If you take the train off the tracks,
it's free - but it can't go anywhere. Take the steering wheel out of the
automobile and it's under the control of no one, but it is useless. The
reality is that until the sailor disciplines himself to be obedient to the
compass, he will have to stay within sight of shore. However, once he is
obedient to that compass, he can go anywhere in the world the sailboat will
take him. Yes, discipline is the missing ingredient that will make the
difference in your life. Discipline yourself today so you can have a better
life tomorrow." Zig Ziglar
Nine minutes on a
rebounder (not just standing there...) equals 20 minutes of aerobic exercise. At
the top we are weightless, at the bottom there is about 2 G's of force! Every
cell in the body is fully exercised when using a rebounder, lymphatic fluid is
moved throughout the body, and there is no stress on the ankles or knees!
Starting point - a STEP is every time
either foot hits the rebounder. A PACE is every time the LEFT foot hits the
rebounder.
Walk 50 paces
Run hard 50 paces
Repeat 5 times for a total of 250 paces
running AND 250 walking
Cool down walking 100 paces
NEXT - As if skipping rope (without the
rope) - throw whole arm backwards for 250 paces, be careful not to over extend
or pronate the joint
Cool down walking 100 paces
"Skip rope" throwing arm forwards for 250
paces, be careful not to over extend or pronate the joint
Cool down walking 100 paces
Discharge the Static
Electricity -
While still on the
rebounder facing NORTH OR SOUTH, clench your fists against your chest (this
traps the electrical currents) and while jumping repeat the following: "Out goes
the toxins, in comes the lymph" 7 TIMES. Immediately get off the rebounder
(still facing North or South) and BRISKLY rub AWAY FROM THE HEART down the right
arm, then left arm, then right leg, then left leg - all the way to the wrists &
ankles.
Static Electricity
Jog or walk BAREFOOT in
the grass 15-20 minutes a day to discharge the static electricity, opening the
body up to receive more universal energies! We need good, high-vibration electricity to perform at
our peak. To release static electricity that builds up in the body, walk or jog
barefoot on the lawn. This will allow new electrical vibration to come from the
atmosphere. This is pure universal electricity that operates all the parts and
organs of the body. Pure energy cannot enter the body if static electricity is
present, which should be grounded through the feet to keep a continual flow on
hand.
OR
This came from Jack West
- a lecturer and follower of Dr Ann Wigmore: "While still on the rebounder
facing NORTH OR SOUTH, clench your fists against your chest (this traps the
electrical currents) and while jumping repeat the following: "Out goes the
toxins, in comes the lymph" 7 TIMES. Immediately get off the rebounder (still
facing North or South) and BRISKLY rub AWAY FROM THE HEART down the right arm,
then left arm, then right leg, then left leg - all the way to the wrists &
ankles."
Bear in mind, when skin brushing, you want to brush towards the heart and a
rebounder stimulates all lymph and every cell in the body. This action is to
remove the excess electrical currents (static) and return us to a better
balance!
Pinworms
Using a blender -
mix 1 cup of water with 5 cloves of garlic until totally liquid. Insert rectally
(enema). Repeat until the critters are dead. Consume raw garlic orally as well.
Then,
to remove the carcasses...drink a tea made of 2 parts Senna and 1 part
Peppermint. Or, take Dr. Christopher's Lower Bowel Formula.
Lice
Definition
Louse - a
general name for various degraded parasitic insects; the true
lice that infest mammals belong to the suborder Anoplura Capitus,
or head louse; P. Corporis, the body or clothes louse; and
Phthirus, or crab louse which lives in the hair upon the pubis,
and the eye lashes and eye brows.
Symptoms
The
causal organisms of typhus fever, relapsing fever, trench fever,
and possibly plague are transmitted by the bites of lice.
Head lice
will never stay around the body that is completely healthy, with
no toxins or accumulations of mucus. Lice and all body vermin
are scavengers and cannot exist long with clean healthy cells.
Keep the bowels clean, stay on a mucusless diet, bathe daily,
and lice will not appear.
Herbal Aids
When they
are present, an infusion of six parts hyssop (Hyssopus
officinalis), one part walnut leaves or inner bark (Juglans
cinerea), one half part cinnamon bark powder, one half part
cloves powder, one half part lobelia, and one half part ginger (Zingiber
officinale).
Dosage:
1/2 cup (more or less according to age) three times in a day,
taken orally. Make fomentation over the head with the same
formula, and in other areas infected; covering the fomentation
with a plastic or rubber cap at night. Do this six days a week
as many weeks as needed to clear up the condition.
For quick
relief (working on the effect) is to bathe the head or body
parts covered with lice with straight apple cider vinegar, oil
of garlic or walnut (leaf, bark or nut husk) tea.
Additional Treatment
When lice
are detected in the family, see that in addition to working on
the cause (cleaning the bowel and blood stream) and staying on a
mucusless diet, work on the effect itself as suggested here.
See that fresh clothes--inner and outer clothing--are changed
daily. All of these clothes should be washed with a good
biodegradable soap with a cup or more of apple cider vinegar to
each washerful of clothes. Change the bed linen each day.
Spray the room with tea made of six parts chaparral, three
parts black walnut leaf or bark, one part lobelia and to each
pint of the spray add some lavender oil or oil of mint to give
fragrance.
We must
remember one thing, a clean house and clean body are not to the
liking of our scavenger friends, lice, mites, fleas, etc.
Weak
or diseased kidneys
If you have
weakened or diseased kidneys consume copious (that is lots & lots) amounts of 3
parts Marshmallow and 1 part Parsley tea daily. This is most important during
kidney cleanses.
Carpel Tunnel
Syndrome
Symptoms:
Numbness, tingling, and pain in the thumb and fingers, that often worsens at
night.
Cause:
Carpel Tunnel Syndrome is caused from pressure on the median nerve where it
passes into the hand via a gap (the "carpel tunnel") under a ligament at the
front of the wrist.
Herbal
Aids: Instead of
corticosteroids or surgery, we would use large quantities (5 capsules, 5
times per day, minimum) of Dr. Christopher's Complete Tissue and Bone
formula. We would also make a fomentation with his bulk BF&C. We
would soak strips of cotton cloth in a strong tea, made from the BF&C,
which would be wrapped around the wrists, with plastic wrap around the
soaked cotton, and then an ace bandage or an old sock (with the toe cut
off) to secure it in place. Alternating hot and cold applications
are used on top of this preparation at the rate of 12 minutes hot and 4
minutes cold alternating constantly for at least an hour. Heating pads
and Ice bags work great. When the fomentation is not worn then
this same formula in a massage oil should be liberally applied to the
area, followed by Dr. Christopher's Cayenne Ointment. This should be
applied hourly. This is the best treatment for Carpel tunnel
syndrome.
My position on Cancer and other dis-eases!
This is a very personal decision. My
mother had breast cancer, a full mastectomy, the maximum radiation
allowed by law at the time (1976) - which almost killed her and the
phrase "the operation was a success but the patient died" came to mind -
somehow managed to survive this and was told that NOTHING would grow
there again. Well, that was a lie. After my dad died (1979) the stress
overcame her and the cancer returned in the exact same place. It was the
size of a postage stamp for months and the doctors did not want to
remove this as they feared the skin would never heal. Over Thanksgiving
weekend this area increased to the size of a post card in 4 days. Now
the removal was no longer an option. The doctors took skin grafts from
her thigh (which was worse than the breast area). She was told to soak
on her belly 3 times a day every day until the grafting healed. NOTHING
healed for 8 months. Finally she had had enough and started taping Aloe
Vera leaves (split in half) directly over the bandages. IN TWO WEEKS 80%
of the skin grafting healed. Once healed, she underwent chemotherapy
which (again) almost killed her. She told her surgeon she was concerned
because my attitude was totally against radiation or chemo should I ever
be in the same position. He told her he fully understood my position
given my experiences watching her suffer.
I held my position and every time DH saw a show on a new cancer
treatment I simply refused to watch because my mind was made up and I
would never take that route. It never made sense to me that you could
burn or infuse inorganic chemicals into an organic substance (the human
body) and expect the body to heal. Then in 2004 I was "moved" into a new
direction. Have you ever felt driven to do something until you actually
paid attention?? I started researching alternative health programs and
began my studies in herbology. In 10 months I completed a 3 year program
and became a Master Herbalist. In this training I learned that, like
other conditions, cancer is a symptom of a problem. When one has sinus
congestion, they likely are constipated. Toxins will get out. If we have
weak areas in the body, dis-ease will settle in those areas. Cutting,
burning, and radiating a symptom will not remove the cause. And if the
cause is not eliminated - thus healing the body - the cancer will appear
some place else. Here is Dr. Christopher's Cancer link
http://www.herballegacy.com/Cancer.html And his incurables program
http://www.herballegacy.com/Incurables.html
I believe we have the greatest critical care programs in the world.
However, I also believe people should use the medical field about 10% of
the time they currently do. There are so many things that can be done at
home naturally that does not carry the side effects of drug use -
prescription or otherwise. I also believe that taking responsibility for
one's health is key. Many people do not believe they are smart enough to
research medical issues. I disagree. The internet provides tons of
information and we all have access to this. The tricky part is to be
able to discern the right course of action FOR YOU! EVERYONE has the
ability to pray to know what to do! I fully support anyone's choice
regardless of the path they take. However, there are a couple things to
take into consideration BEFORE you take any treatment for any
conditions. When treating medically, doctors treat SYMPTOMS - and this
is usually quite quick. Although the results may be worse. For example:
one gets an upper respiratory bacterial infection and fever. The common
program is to suppress the fever, suppress the cough, kill the bacteria
with antibiotics which kill the friendly bacteria as well. The results:
the phlegm is still in the chest - as the coughing has stopped. One is
filled with dead corpses of the bacteria as the antibiotics killed them
off. And because the fever is suppressed, you cannot sweat out the dead
critters. On top of that, the CAUSE of the cold is still there. TOXINS
WILL GET OUT. If the colon, liver & gall bladder, kidneys, and blood
stream are congested the only other ways out are through the skin
(eczema, acne, skin cancers, etc.) and the upper respiratory (sinus
infections, colds, asthma, allergies, etc.). If we continue to treat
symptoms, the toxins will settle into other weak organs or areas of the
body and dis-ease results.
When one chooses alternative treatments, you need to be as aggressive as
the disease. One or two capsules of an herb, or one or two aromatherapy
treatments or massages will not clean up the body and eliminate the
cause. Also, if one chooses alternative treatments AFTER radiation
and/or chemotherapy, you now have to work harder to eliminate the toxins
and effects of the treatments. Many natural practitioners will not work
with people at this stage.
We all have genetic weaknesses from our parents and grand parents - we
have caused problems ourselves due poor diet, no exercise, no water,
etc. THESE CAN BE REVERSED. We do not have to duplicate our parents
health history. We all know that doing the same thing over and over
again will not yield different results. We must change our lifestyles to
change our lives. Instead of waiting until we have a life-threatening
disease, why not be proactive? Take responsibility for what you put in
your body and what you put on your body. Fully research the literature
given (make sure you get this literature) BEFORE you take the drug, get
the vaccine, etc. Sometimes it is impossible to reverse the results of
these - and at that point you WILL have to accept the responsibility for
that choice, sometimes for years and years - and this can be a
financial, emotional, and physical drain on the entire family.
One difficulty many, many people have is not allowing others the same
freedom to choose as we want for ourselves. As I have learned about
other choices (and continue to learn and study every day) the greatest
lesson I have learned is to be available as a resource for those that
are ready to listen - but love and support them anyway if they choose a
different path.
One thing I would like to add - no one, regardless of how many degrees
they have or how much they charge, is God. So many times I have seen
people begin to die as soon as the dr tells them how long they have to
live. And many family members have them in the ground and start asking
for their inheritance the next day!
Please, if you do nothing else FOR YOURSELF, accept responsibility and
start today to be healthier and hopefully avoid having to make these
decisions. If confronted with life threatening diagnosis, try to stay
focused and do the research. Likely the cancer will not spread THAT much
farther in a week or two - regardless of what 'they' tell you.
Okay, I lied - and another thing... There are cells the body creates
whenever there is a foreign body trying to take up residence. These
cells are Trophoblast. These same cells also occur as soon as a woman
becomes pregnant as the fetus is a foreign body. In that the fetus is
alive (no, I am not going to engage in this topic) it has the ability to
fight off the trophoblast. The trophoblast job is to destroy the foreign
body (such as a fetus or tumors). An early pregnancy test will indicate
positive whenever the trophoblast are in the body. That is how women
know they are pregnant. The test is actually checking for trophoblast
that are created when pregnant. Make sense so far? Great! In that these
same cells are created when cancer is in the body....ready?.... an early
pregnancy test will indicate positive for ALL trophoblast....meaning if
you know you are not pregnant and the men in your life know they are not
pregnant, they will test positive if trophoblast are in the system -
cancer cells! Now, before you stop reading and run to Wal-Mart...this
will indicate I believe 90% or so of cancers.
I learned about this 2 years ago and my husband and I were in Wal-Mart
buying out twin pack EPT's! (at the time he was 57 and I was 48) The
girl at the checkout was in her early 30's and looked at the tests,
looked at us, rolled her eyes and...well, the thoughts crossing her mind
were either "They're nuts!" or "They're dreaming!" Sensing this, I told
her what we were doing. She said, "Oh, I know all about that!" We were
shocked. Turns out her husband (at the time late 20's early 30's) had
been diagnosed with cancer and the doctors wanted more tests to be run.
When they went to the lab the clinician said there must be an error
because the DOCTOR ORDERED A PREGNANCY TEST FOR HIM. "They" know about
this. Now we make sure we are not pregnant twice a year. While this may
not catch everything, I really believe it will find cancer as soon as it
starts instead of months or years later - by time we find it. If we test
positive, I may have tests done to pinpoint the area to really
concentrate there. In the meantime, I need to follow my own advice!! Now
my quest begins!
