Health Without Vaccinations Or Antibiotics

Mother and Child: A Picture Of Perfect Health

Photo by Lachlan.

This is the picture of a child who has never had any vaccinations. And nor did his beautiful mother, who is pictured in this photo.

This is the picture of a second-generation no-vaccinations child. Unfortunately, the grandparents of the wee laddie in the photo both had lots of vaccinations throughout their childhoods, which means that this child’s immune system will have been weakened through the inherited effects of these vaccinations. But still – two generations without vaccinations is a pretty good start in this day and age.

Good nutrition and a happy life are the best ways to prevent disease, rather than relying on vaccinations, which many of us believe do more harm than good in the long run. Of course, it is a wonderful thing to have antibiotics to use in an emergency, when other measures have failed. However, my view was that it was best to not vaccinate my children, unless it was absolutely necessary. Instead, I learnt the art of natural healing, using homeopathy and vitamin therapy as my main antidotes to any infectious diseases which were doing the rounds.

Homeopathy For Children’s Illnesses: Homeopathic medicine proved to be thoroughly effective in treating the common childhood infectious diseases, such as whooping cough, croup, measles, chicken pox, and mumps.

We did not even use tetanus injections. Instead, I used homeopathic Ledum as an antidote to tetanus. One can never prove that the Ledum did actually work in preventing tetanus, because you use the Ledum as a preventative, before the thing strikes. How can you prove that this medicine works, if you prevent the disease from happening? At least the homeopathic prophylactic for tetanus did not actually give us the tetanus disease:

Some writers claim that the tetanus antibiotic shot does not actually work, because some people who have been given the shot have developed tetanus afterwards. The tetanus shot could even have CAUSED these cases of tetanus, in the same way that the flu vaccine can cause a flu infection in some people. Many believe that the reason people do not get tetanus very often these days is because the disease is in a natural lull of its cycle, not because of the presumed efficacy of the tetanus shot.

There are some very good homeopathic remedies for treating all illnesses, even serious ones such as tetanus and scarlet fever. Ledum is considered one of the best for tetanus, and homeopathic belladonna one of the best for preventing or treating scarlet fever.

If a good diet is followed, with a healthy life-style, then usually Homeopathic remedies, herbs, and vitamins will do the trick in combatting any illness which your child might succumb to.

Of course, it is always best to see your doctor or health professional in the case of childhood illnesses. But while you are on the way to the doctor, there is no harm at all from giving your child the homeopathic remedy which most suits the condition. On many an occasion, when this happened in my own family, the illness had almost disappeared by the time we had gotten to the doctor or the hospital. Great to have these professionals there to help if necessary, but in many cases, these illnesses will respond to homeopathy and vitamins if you begin treating them right away, making antibiotics unnecessary.

People who use homeopathy, herbs, vitamins and nutrition instead of resorting to standard pharmaceutical preparations such as antibiotics and vaccinations, generally have a higher IQ than people who take all the standard vaccinations. Antibiotics in vaccinations help to dull the mind as well as the immune system, in my opinion.

Did Vaccinations Cause Multiple Allergies In Young Child On Campbell Live?

Child Has Allergy to Water. Allergy To Synthetics. Allergy to Dust Mites. Multiple Food Allergies

The TV3 Campbell Live show last night, 16th May, 2012, featured the story of a young child who is allergic to many things. Even water is a problem for him.

His Mum told the story about how this poor wee thing had had a severe skin rash from a very early age. The condition was so chronic that the child’s skin was weeping. Photos of the child as a baby showed his face totally covered in a red and angry rash. His Mum now realizes that the cause of the chronic skin condition is due to multiple food allergies, and allergy to dust mites, as well as water, synthetics, and other substances, and has adjusted his diet and his activities accordingly.

He survives on an extremely restricted diet which excludes wheat, milk, rice, corn, dairy foods, peanuts, nuts, and numerous other things. His clothes are put into the freezer for a while to kill any dust mites which might be on them. Care is taken not to expose him to other people who may be eating, or who might have just eaten, any of the foods which he is allergic to.

His social life has been impaired to a degree, but his caring Mum does everything she can to give him a normal childhood experience and social life within the boundaries stipulated by the allergic condition.

It was great to see the topic of food allergies in young children coming up on Campbell’s show. But the important question was not asked on Campbell’s show as to what might have caused these severe food allergies in the first place. Healthy children should not be suffering allergies to this extent, if at all. Allergies in children have to be a symptom of the Western, modern, way of rearing a child, the chemicals in our food, vaccinations and other drugs, and the high-wired electro-magnetic environment many of us are exposed to.

So – we should be asking ourselves what is the reason for a child to have such severe allergies to so many things?

On John Campbell’s show last night, these allergies were portrayed, very conveniently for all drug companies and the doctors and specialists in the field of medication, as something mysterious and random which ‘strikes’ young children. One would assume from the programme that this child will need continuing and probably expensive medical help for some time.

Not once did the subject of vaccinations, or immunization, or antibiotics, come up with regard to the allergies which this child suffered. HAD THIS CHILD BEEN VACCINATED IN HIS FIRST YEAR OF LIFE? If so, this could be the very cause of all those allergies. This is a VERY important question which was left out of the programme. This, to me, is the most likely cause. However, there are other factors which might have contributed to this child’s condition and these could have been discussed on the show, to make the show a real learning experience for the viewers.

The important things which I would consider if my child was so sensitive to so many things would be:

1) The subject of vaccinations. Did the child receive any vaccinations in the first year of his life? Childhood vaccinations are problematic, and there is plenty of evidence to show this. And what vaccinations had the mother had in her life-time – Whether or not the mother has had vaccinations has a huge bearing on the immunity of a child. A mother who has NOT had vaccinations and whose mother used homeopathy, vitamins, etc, instead, will have a stronger immune system and produce a stronger baby than a mother who has been vaccinated, even if it was years ago. And what medications, if any, did the mother have whilst she was carrying this baby? And what medications or pain relievers were given at the birth?

2) The alternative therapies which are available for allergies. Homeopathic remedies, Chinese medicine, and Ayurvedic medicine are all options which should be being discussed as alternatives to vaccinations, as well as being considered for treating conditions such as allergies, which have most probably been brought on by ‘medical intervention’ in the first place.

There is a wide range of Homeopathic remedies for children, many of which I used myself, for my own children, as well as for my own health. I decided that my children were not going to have any more vaccinations, after my first-born child had a severe reaction to the first two vaccination shots, one at three months, one at six months. He suffered a skin rash, a bloated stomach, pain in the stomach, and cried a lot after both these injections. After that, I decided to explore Homeopathic medicine, which does not have the dangerous side effects of modern drugs, as an alternative to vaccinations for my children. These homeopathic remedies worked very well to treat all the normal childhood infectious diseases such as mumps and measles, and many other complaints such as croup and whooping cough. I discovered that Homeopathic Ledum worked as a tetanus substitute, so none of my children even had as much as a tetanus shot.

Mainstream medicine is given every consideration and respect on our television channels, and in the printed media, whilst the safer alternatives to allopathic medicine, such as Homeopathy, are deliberately left in the backwaters. Because the drug companies have the monopoly on the ‘health’ industry and its medications, vaccinations and immunizations, and they want to keep it that way. There is big money to be made in pharmaceuticals and agricultural chemicals, and these drug companies today do as much as the cigarette companies did in times gone by, to dupe the public about the safety of their medications and vaccinations.

Whereas, in fact, there are many Homeopathic remedies which have no risky side effects as do vaccinations, and which could be used instead of these harmful chemical or antibiotic medicines.

3) The added chlorine and other chemicals in our tap water. Chlorine added to our water supply is a major health hazard, in my estimation. Many people have an allergy to chlorine, which can cause eczema and other skin irritations, plus digestive problems. It is thought to be a contributing factor to conditions such as arthritis, alzheimer’s, and cancer as well.

4) The possibility of electro-magnetic influences having a bearing on this child’s health. The proximity of cell-phone towers, electricity transformers, the house meter-box being too close to the child’s bedroom, electrical appliances such as fridges, TV’s or stoves being close to where the child is sleeping. Any of these things can under-mine a person’s immunity and cause malfunctions in the body and brain. Excema and psoriasis can be the result of being exposed too long and too often to electromagnetic forces.

5) During her pregnancy, had the mother been exposed to chemicals such as cockroach-killers, or flea-bombs in the home environment, or were agricultural chemicals such as herbicide or pesticide used in the wider environment?

I think that John Campbell should have put these questions forward to the mother of the wee infant with multiple allergies. It may be that these things I mention have no bearing on her son’s sickness at all. But I would think that it is 97% likely that vaccinations, or drugs or chemicals of some other kind, or electro-magnetic tensions have had a big part to play in making this child so sensitive and so sick.

Flu Jab Vaccinations Promoted On Campbell Live Show, NZ 18th April 2012

Vaccinations Can Damage Your Immune System.

John Campbell TV3 has let us down. Generally speaking, I like his style of reporting and discussion, as he usually examines both sides of the issue in question.

However, on the issue of vaccinations for influenza which aired on tonight’s show, he failed to do this. We only heard the view of ONE medical doctor who happened to be an advocate for flu jabs. Makes me wonder if TV3 had been authorized by some government authority to give a pro-vaccination report, by making a seemingly investigitave approach on the issue, but without including controversial evidence against the case for vaccination. Perhaps the drug agencies themselves had done their brain-washing on John Campbell and his producers, so that they would conveniently ignore the other side of the question. Were they all offered the free shots, I wonder?

At the conclusion of the vaccination topic, we at least did have ONE TV person from channel 3 who chose not to take the vaccination – a conclusion I found to be satisfactory. And we heard several people earlier on state that, as they thought themselves healthy, and they hardly ever got sick, that they would NOT be taking the flu jab.

Yet Campbell’s pro-vaccination doctor made an incredible and unbelievable statement about such healthy people needing the flu jab more than ever. He said that if you have not had the flu in 12 years, or whatever, then you REALLY NEEDED to have the flu jab vaccination. Now, how can that be true? Sounds like drug company indoctrination to me, reminiscent of the “More doctors smoke Camel’ cigarette story.

And great advertising for the doctor on the show. Who does he know at TV3?

Campbell’s show tonight was not an impartial investigation on the effectiveness or safety of flu vaccines – it presented a case FOR vaccination, without examining any of the reasons for NOT VACCINATING. The doctor they had on the show was ridiculously enthusiastic about taking the vaccine, rubbing hands and knees together gleefully in anticipation of the flu-jab customers which were likely to flood his clinic this week after seeing this programme, swearing that flu vaccinations would do you no harm, etc, etc, but we never heard a challenge from another health professional on this doctor’s pro-rant for the flu vaccine. Only one doctor on the show, and he was backing the flu vaccine.

But there are plenty of doctors out there who do NOT believe in having flu jabs, or in giving their own children the regular vaccinations which are promoted by our own government agencies, and by the drug companies who make and sell the stuff. There ARE alternatives to taking vaccinations.

There IS a big question mark over the issue of the safety of vaccinations. It would have been good if Campbell had bothered to look into some of the anti-vaccine literature published by medical people, and by alternative health professionals. There is plenty of research into the topic which might suggest that vaccinations are not always safe, and nor are they the best thing to prevent infections, including flu.

Vitamin C in large doses is one proven prophylactic, or preventative, for flu. Megadoses of Vitamin C – i prefer calcium ascorbate as it is non-acidic – helps to kill off viruses and bacteria, and hastens the recovery of flu or other infections. Vitamin A is another good one which destroys bacteria and viruses. And there are heaps of Homeopathic remedies which will work effectively in helping to prevent or cure the flu and other infectious diseases, without damaging the body’s own immune system. Children generally respond well to the Homeopathic remedies recommended for childhood infectious diseases, such as mumps, whooping cough, measles, whooping cough, and others.

But of course, if you are unfamiliar with the Homeopathic remedies, or herbal and vitamin naturopathic treatments, then you should seek advice from a qualified and experienced health practitioner to treat or prevent flu and other infectious diseases.

Risperdal Children

Effects of Risperdal on Children

A friend has just sent me the gist on an article which The New York Times published recently: This information has been disseminated by the Alliance For Human Research Protection.

The New York Times article alerts us as to the dangers of prescribing medications to children. The side effects of many medications are little known or just not considered by the many doctors who prescribe children risperdal and other such drugs.

However, one should not have to wait for ‘scientific proof’ to work out that toxic chemicals in medications will have many negative consequences in the long run, including poor immune function and a susceptibility to disease. Find an alternative to toxic medications for the sake of your children’s health.

The recent article by Duff Wilson which appeared on the front page of the New York Times has brought a stern reality home: Toxic drugs are still being prescribed to children without any regard to the effects on the health of these children. Risperdal children are obviously at risk both psychologically and physically, as this article illustrates.

Unnecessary Toxic Medications: Many children in America are being treated unnecessarily with psychotic drugs and sleeping pills which they most surely do not need and should not be taking. Television programmes which have been aired over the past year have given us an insight into how many parents rely on medications such as sleeping pills and other psychotic drugs so that their children will become passive and sleep much of the time.

Basically, many toxic medications are being given out to children just because the parents claim that their children are ‘unmanageable’ or have some attention deficit disorder.

Bad parenting and toxic chemicals in food such as preservatives and colourings, etc, can cause sleep deprivation and symptoms of ‘attention deficit disorder’ and other psychosis. That is not to say that the parents of Kyle Warren were ‘bad’ parents at all – they were doing as their doctor instructed – just that many people who give their children medications are doing so because it is an easy option because it makes a child docile, and because their doctor permits it.

Duff Wilson’s article discusses the case of an eighteen month old child, Kyle Warren, who was prescribed risperdal. By the age of three, his mental condition had deteriorated, obviously because of the risperdal medication he was taking. At this point he was prescribed MORE toxic medications, which included sleeping pills, Prozac and a medication to treat attention deficit disorder.

How crazy is that? This poor wee boy suffered because of risperdal, a drug which should never have been prescribed for him at all. And then he was prescribed MORE toxic drugs. Prescribing prozac for children, or risperdal, or any other drug, simply should never be allowed.

Attention deficit disorder is something we may all get if we were to take risperdal every day for a year and a half, especially if we were given this from the age of only 18 months.

Luckily, this poor wee boy was rescued by doctors whose intervention saved his life. But there are many children who are not so lucky: Many children today are taking medications which are actually undermining their intelligence, their solcial skills, and wheir physical being. These drugs are gradually killing children: their lives are being shortened and devalued.

NO TOXIC MEDICATION should ever be prescribed to children. There are alternative therapies which can help children who are unruly or who have behavioural problems.

Some Sensible Alternatives To Toxic Medications:

Homeopathy for children is one alternative to replace those harmful drugs. Homeopathic remedies are very effective and are completely non toxic. Of course, you need to see a professional homeopath if your child is seriously disturbed or is ill. But there is a homeopathic remedy for EVERY ailment you can think of. It is just a matter of finding the appropriate remedy, or remedies, which requires someone with experience to determine.

Correct Vitamin and Mineral Deficiency: Vitamin and mineral deficiency can cause hormonal imbalance: Hormonal imbalance can cause sleeping and behavioural problems in children.

Avoid Chemicals in Food: Processed food must be avoided, as processed food is generally loaded with preservatives and colourings and flavourings which are very harmful to your child. Chemicals such as preservatives, colourings and flavourings interfere with the normal physical and mental development of your child.

If you ensure that your child NEVER has any food which has any chemicals in it of any kind, then you are going a long way to improving the health, both physically and mentally, of your child.
