Main stream vaccination

Whether to vaccinate or not is a difficult decision for many parents to make. Health departments the world over campaign vigorously in favour of vaccination and fear is a frequently used tactic to persuade parents to vaccinate their children. There are many pharmaceutical lobbyists in every country who ensure they influence governments. Vaccination is a lucrative business. However, there is a growing concern in the community, in the alternative health profession and even within the medical profession itself that vaccination is not all it is professed to be. The diseases the child has been vaccinated against can still occur, but either in a different form so is not recognised, or it may not be accepted because the child has been vaccinated. Dr Richard Pitcairn, is an American veterinarian, now veterinary homoeopath. After graduating, he worked for five years in an immunology laboratory. When he decided to move on, he said that immunisation is great in theory, but doesnt work in practice. He claimed that the distemper vaccine was the cause of the far more serious dog disease, parvo. Other concerned medical practitioners are finding similar results. Homoeopathy has always recognised the link between vaccinations and chronic diseases in later, if not earlier life. Vaccinations are routinely started at two months old and are repeated at four, six, 12, 18 months and at four or five years old, depending on the vaccine. At two months of age, the babys immune system is very immature, with disease protection coming from the mothers milk. The immune system cannot efficiently utilise the antigen introduced into the blood. First the immune system must mature naturally. Many serious diseases are caused by vaccinations; studies in Japan show that vaccinating a child from two years rather than six weeks old has fewer problems and SIDS disappears. This finding is largely rejected by mainstream medicine. Vaccines are made from toxic substances which are then processed through animal tissue (ethical and cross species issues) and stabilised with the use of hazardous chemicals (mercury, aluminium, formaldehyde). This is then injected directly into the blood stream, by-passing all the subtle levels of the bodys immune system. Antibodies are then produced, which are claimed to be protective. But antibodies are only produced when the disease has gone to a deep level. Other forms of defense, not medically recognised, keeps the disease at a superficial level. The effects depend on the vaccine, but range from mild to serious irritation at the site, through various organ disturbances, bleeding abnormalities, inconsolable crying to permanent brain damage - a very real, if small, possibility. There have been no studies done on the long term side-effects of vaccinations, so they cannot be termed scientific, as claimed. Short term claims of success tend to be exaggerated and fail to take into consideration the general decline of the disease at the time the vaccines were introduced (increased hygiene, improved diet, etc). I recommend further reading for interested parents. Libraries are a good starting point with books available for loan.
