In reply to Swine flue vaccine UTube sent to me a must see, posted by Phillipa on September 26, 2009, at 12:51:59
I used to get a flu shot religiously every year. 3 or 4 months later I always got the flu.
One year I was so busy I accidentally didn't get the flu shot. That year I did not get a cold or flu.
Ever since then, about 15 years now, I have not had a flu shot. I have not had a flu in 15 years. It's weird that during the 6 years I did get the shots, I got sick.
A problem with the mercury preservative in flu shots is that when Autistic mothers have their children undergo a provoked urine test, their mercury levels are extremely elevated. Those children have not been alive long enough to accumulate that much mercury from the environment. These accounts are numerous. Where did the mercury come from if not the shots?
I know the amount in one shot is small, but there are factors to consider such as repeated accumulation (how many shots does a kid get, at least a dozen or more yeah?), genetic variation in ability to detoxify, and susceptibility to respond negatively to even miniscule amounts.
There is a lot more mercury in a shot than a tuna sandwich. Furthermore, it is going straight into the blood system and the brain, bypassing any possible filtering of the digestive system. Normal flora in the intestines, probiotics and yeast, have a high affinity for mercury. They help protect us by using, neutralizing, and excreting mercury. Mercury going straight into the blood system is a completely different far more potent scenario.
Mercury is in fact one of the most potent poisons to the nervous system on the entire planet. No amount of mercury is safe. Some people do have strong detox systems and strong genes to overcome the presence of mercury molecules, so not everyone gets symptoms. Who is to know in advance which child will get symptoms or not? It aint cool. Not a good risk. If someone feels at risk of the flu, safer options would include washing hands very frequently, avoiding crowds, avoiding touching the mouth, nose, and eyes, consuming healthy foods, consuming beverages or supplements high in vitamin C, E, zinc, and selenium, and taking an Olive Leaf extract capsule per day. There are several herbs that are healthy foods and at the same time prevent viral replication. There is miniscule risk of autism or any other complication from that kind of flu prevention.
Humankind putting mercury in anything, be it shots or tooth fillings or whatever, has got to be one of the most arrogant and ignorant behaviors of all history. The smarter mankind thinks he is, the more foolish he is proven to be.
I have little faith, and there is no way anyone will ever know, that a vaccine would have prevented any of the major epidemics of history such as the Spanish flu. It is hopeful thinking.
A Lyme vaccine was recalled and taken off the market because of the outcry of people witnessing that they got persistent Lyme symptoms from the vaccine. Enough so that at a public hearing in front of the CDC panel there was no choice but to recall the vaccine. To save face and embarrassment, the recall was said to have been due to "lack of profit", not that in fact it made people sick.
The vaccine had dead bacteria in it, so there is no way the many people got Lyme from the shot. I think it showed that perhaps Lyme symptoms are not just direct insults by the bacteria themselves, but rather the body's immune reaction to them. The mere presence of them, dead or alive, throws the body into a chaotic cascade of malignant events. My LLMD said the same thing. He said my symptoms were not from the Lyme bacteria themselves so much, but from the way Lyme twisted my immune system and inflammation cascade systems, which ultimately impact everything attached to the nervous system. Apparently dead pieces of the bacteria do the same thing.
Why do researchers not work on curing immune system dysfunctions that kill thousands more people than the flu? Fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue syndrome, arthritis, MS, Lyme. These diseases do not kill in days or weeks like the flu, but they certainly send people to an early premature grave they didn't deserve. Not to mention the tons of suffering along the way. But no one ever died of Lyme disease. Until you take a look at their heart and brain under a microscope.
I think it is gross arrogance for mankind to believe he has geniusly figured out how the immune system works, with the result of that great wisdom being a flu vaccine. I have not looked into to it, but my initial hunch is that a vaccine prevents the flu at about the same percentage difference as an antidepressant outperforms a placebo, which is statistically significant but in the real world not much.
In the break room at work today I listened as people were talking about the free flu shots. Everyone was saying no way. The reasons were: every year they get a shot they get sick, every year they don't get a shot they don't get sick; they have seen enough in newspapers, magazines, and TV reports to know that the mercury in shots is enough of a risk to avoid. Plainjane laypeople have somehow caught even wisdom as to feel that messing with the immune system in an unknown way just doesn't sit well with them. Might be perfectly harmless, but there is enough doubt as to not take the leap.
Flu shots are available without mercury. The problem I have found is that when you ask the person giving the shot, they typically don't know if it is mercury free or not. One has to shop around for a knowledgable source.
I don't think anyone has or can prove that mercury in shots did not or does not cause Autism. It depends on too many variables for a human being, who is born flawed to the bone, to account for. The body is exceedingly complex and mysterious for a mere human to gain expertise over. Actually, if someone wanted me to make the case that it does, it could be done "seemingly" conmvincely. If someone wanted to make the case that it doesn't, it could be done "seemingly" convincingly. There are so many ways to gather data, problems in patient sample selection methods, sorting data, biased data, filled in gaps, things left out, interpretations, ignorance, arrogance, preconceived desired results, exaggerated or diluted highlights, etc, one can pretty much make a seemingly indisputable case no matter what side.
I find it interesting that there are now researchers gathering information from mothers on what is working well with their autistic children in order to give the researchers areas to explore. Think about that. IAN is one of the organizations gathering data to help researchers. The brightest supposedly geniuses are asking advice of mere mothers of children, as those mothers have become experts by no choice of their own, but by necessity. The mothers have discovered by heartfelt trial and error...hardcore research...what works and what doesn't. By the time the scientists and statisticians come to the same level of knowledge, it will be 20 years later.
One of the biggest ones that comes up again and again is mercury chelation. Where did it come from?
Sometimes anecdotal evidence is so huge as to quickly overwhelm commonly held scientific so-called facts.
In any case, I'm not taking sides. I'm just sharing my experience that I do a whole lot better without flu shots or mercury of any amount.
