Thimerosal – Safe When Injected, But Don’t Swallow!

Tuesday, April 05, 2005

Anyone who has paid any attention to the great vaccine debate over the last couple of years will have heard of Thimerosal. It’s a chemical that has historically been added to vaccines as a preservative. There’s been debate about whether this mercury derivative has been in any way responsible for the huge increases in childhood autism over the last decade…

Of course, vaccine-makers have claimed that their products are, and have always been, safe. Most have, however, publicly said that they no longer use Thimerosal in their vaccines – not, of course, because it was unsafe, simply because the public asked for it….yeah, right! Continue Reading »

Drink Coca-Cola, Avoid Malaria!

Monday, April 04, 2005

This would be an amusing story from the Scotsman - if it had been posted a couple days ago on April Fool’s Day. Sadly, it appears to be true…scientists are working on putting vaccinations into the food we commonly eat. Not our carrots and broccoli, though – since we actually don’t eat many of those.

Vaccines into cigarettes (presumably to prevent cancer);
Malaria vaccine in Coca-Cola to protect people in countries where malaria is a problem (uhhh…let’s see…low income, developing countries and the best way to get a malaria vaccine to the greatest number of people is in Coke?! Anyone else feel a little disturbed by this?);
Vaccines in beer. (I’ll take a guess that those will be the anti-Sexually Transmitted Disease (STD) vaccines that are currently in development.

How about a vaccine that over-rides our collective desire to eat processed crap which has no nutritional value and, in fact, adds to the burden of disease, including those diseases we now rely on vaccines to protect us from?

Oh, but I’m hopeless a dreamer.

Protect your children!

Friday, April 01, 2005

If someone – say a medical reporter for the newspaper you read – gave you the following facts about a certain ingestible item, what would you do? Would you worry about how much of this item your child has ingested in his or her lifetime? Would you ensure your home was free of this item?

Think about these statistics. Think about how you would react to reading an article that provided this information.

More than 98 percent of convicted felons use this item.
Fully HALF of all children who grow up in households that consume this item score below average on standardized tests.
In the 18th century, when this item was made in the home, the average life expectancy was less than 50 years; infant mortality rates were unacceptably high; many women died in childbirth; and diseases such as typhoid, yellow fever, and influenza ravaged whole nations.

This item is associated with all the major diseases of the body. The effects are obviously cumulative:

99.9 percent of all people who die from cancer have eaten this item
99.7 percent of the people involved in air and auto accidents ate this item within 6 months preceding the accident
93.1 percent of juvenile delinquents came from homes where this item is served frequently

what is this terrifying thing that leads to such horrific outcomes? How about bread? So think carefully the next time you read an article that convinces you to be afraid, be very afraid, of something like, oh, say, the chicken pox.
