Exercise Makes Your Brain Grow!

Please take a look at this video-lecture from "Authors@Google" out in California. Dr. John Ratey, MD, clinical professor of psychiatry at Harvard Medical School, presents very compelling and solid research regarding what exercise does to the brain...even describes it as 'fertilizer for the brain!'

Why Mandating the Flu Vaccine is a Bad Idea - THERE'S NO GOOD RESEARCH!

Here is an article from the British Medical Journal discussing the influenza vaccine. How can a state like New Jersey make the Flu vaccine mandatory w/ medical research and information this blatantly clear? Evidence VS. Policy... hmmm?

::::::

I was thinking about how the CDC says that "the best way to prevent the flu is by getting vaccinated." All I can think about is the absurdity of a statement like that. So, if that is true, then it seems like the following are true as well...

...the best way to keep our lawns 'looking healthy' is to just paint them green;

...the best way to keep germs away from us is to live in a bubble;

...the best way to prevent our kids from acting badly is to follow them around all the time;

...the best way to prevent forest fires is to cover all the trees in a flame-retardant chemical;

...the best way to prevent men from wanting to have sexual relations w/ young girls is to iron (flatten out) her breasts, so men will be less interested... [this is currently happening in parts of the world, Africa, etc.]

For a more complete look at the ridiculous-ness of these types of statements, please watch a short video about the town of "Allopath" - a farce on the allopathic model of health care.

"I'm no doctor (yet), BUT IT SEEMS that..." by being healthy, our bodies can do a better job of preventing a multi-day experience w/ the flu virus. I've not had it in nearly a decade, and working at QT, and exchanging dirty bills and contacting hundreds of peoples dirty hands, I'm sure to have come across it many a times. How is that possible, cause I've never had a Flu Vaccine? Yet, it still SEEMS to be the best way. I guess for me, I'll avoid the mercury, aluminum, formaldehyde, and chicken embryo being injected into my body... at least while I have the right to decide.

More Current Vaccine News

Yesterday morning, New Jersey Moms Louise Kuo Habakus and Claudine Liss of the New Jersey Coalition for Vaccination Choice appeared on Fox News (Fox & Friends) Click Here for Video 1 to talk about the vaccine freedom rally next Thursday (October 16) in Trenton in support of conscientious belief exemption legislation giving New Jersey parents the legal right to follow their conscience when making vaccine choices for their children. After the show, Louise and Claudine were invited back for an informal, spirited discussion Click Here for Video 2 about the epidemic of chronic disease and disability and the recent flu vaccine mandate instituted in New Jersey for all children.

(check out the videos, only a few minutes, and really good!)

Smart, sincere, passionate, and articulate, these two Moms are what the vaccine safety and informed consent movement is about and their call for freedom of choice echoes the one that has been made by parents of vaccine injured children for nearly three decades. For more information about how to stand with Louise, Claudine, Larry Palevsky, M.D., me and more than 500 parents registered to rally in Trenton next Thursday and make your voice heard for vaccine freedom, contact the NJ Coalition for Vaccination Choice at www.njvaccinationchoice.org

On Monday, the Georgia Supreme Court issued a unanimous appeals court ruling that opened the door for families of vaccine injured children to sue vaccine manufacturers for vaccine design defects that lead to injury and death. The next day a Missouri Appeals Court upheld an $8.5 million judgment against American Cyanamid for injuries suffered by a man who contracted vaccine strain polio from a live oral polio vaccination as a child. Both civil court decisions rightly hold pharmaceutical companies accountable for failing to appropriately test and improve vaccines they sell to the public so that health risks from using the product can be eliminated or at least significantly reduced.

When Congress passed the National Childhood Vaccine Injury Act of 1986, which was historic societal acknowledgment that vaccines can injure and kill and that the vaccine injured should be compensated even as vaccine availability should be protected, it was clear in both the legislative history and clarifying language accompanying the Act's passage that Congress never intended to give blanket, exclusive immunity to drug companies marketing vaccines for public use. Until this week, too many federal judges have misinterpreted the spirit and intent of the 1986 law. Hopefully, the Georgia decision will ultimately give parents of vaccine injured children the legal ability to hold drug companies accountable in a civil court of law for failing to reduce the reactivity of their products.

Whether holding the pharmaceutical industry accountable in the judicial system or petitioning legislators to allow Americans to follow their conscience and exercise informed consent to medical risk taking, vaccine educated citizens in America are standing up for their civil rights in larger numbers. It is a good sign, a beacon of hope that the business of saving our children from a lifetime of chronic illness and disability has become a priority for more than a small minority of citizens. Saving our children is everyone's business and standing up for freedom of speech and conscience is the first order of business in a democratic society.

'Experts Conclude Pfizer Manipulated Studies'

From an article in the NY Times, Oct. 8, '08 - - "The drug maker Pfizer earlier this decade manipulated the publication of scientific studies to bolster the use of its epilepsy drug Neurontin for other disorders, while suppressing research that did not support those uses, according to experts who reviewed thousands of company documents for plaintiffs in a lawsuit against the company. Click Here for entire NY Times article - - -

This is such an important issue for all of us to consider. The very companies making these drugs, from epilepsy drugs to childrens vaccines, are the ones doing most of the 'research' to get these drugs approved and into the bodies of millions of people. In this case, there wasn't enough people w/ epilepsy to turn a profit off of their drug, Neurontin, so they made up data to suggest it would be good for other conditions.

I would like to suggest that the biggest issue here for us to consider, is the influence these companies are having on the policies regarding vaccine scheduling and administration. In the past decade alone, the # of required vaccines for kids has skyrocketed, and w/ increasing marketing efforts by vaccine makers... see the Gardasil post for an example. We need to question the practices that are currently being pushed on our doctors and pediatricians. We need to question the drugs that are being forced into our children every day. Is it unreasonable to ask why our newborns are being vaccinated for Hep.B, which is a sexually transmitted disease? Is it unreasonable to think that a newborn's body is going to be affected somehow by that drug, which contains formaldehyde, aluminum sulfate, soy protein, etc...?

There are many medical doctors that disagree w/ the current practices regarding vaccinations. They suggest that if you are going to vaccinate, then choose a schedule that is less invasive to your child. One article I posted recently stated that you shouldn't start vaccines until the child is 2 years old, to give his/her body time to develop naturally, w/out all the chemicals (and yes, they can do that safely...). Please take the time to read, to ask, and to discuss. These issues are serious and timely. I believe that health doesn't come from drugs, or from some outside source. Health comes from within each of us, as the expression of a body that is in balance, in homeostasis.
