One Bird Flu Over the Cuckoos Nest (Part 3)

[Catch up on last month's article (Part 2) here]
or [Part 1 here!]

One change in approach for the bird flu vaccine will be growing it on dog kidney cells instead of the eggs used for the normal flu vaccine. Is this a great idea? According to the research of Vera Scheibner Ph.D., as reported in her book Vaccination: The Medical Assault on the Immune System, there was a major problem beginning in the 1950's with the Salk oral polio vaccine being contaminated with monkey viruses after having been grown on monkey kidneys. "The monkey immunodeficiency viruses provide a causal link to AIDS."

Do we really know what the consequences may be in mixing microbes between species? Is it wise to inject these types of foreign antigens into our bloodstreams and those of our children? Is there sanctity of human blood that should be protected? I believe so.

Newer research is now linking SV-40 monkey virus with cancer as well. In March 2002, scientists at the University of Texas and at Baylor have independently found the same high correlation (43%) between SV-40 and non-Hodgkins lymphoma, now the fifth most common cancer in the U.S., as reported by Beil in the Dallas Morning News. Oh the ripple effects of our often shortsighted actions!

There is an important distinction in my mind between proactive support of our innate immune function and general self-healing capacities, and risky pharmaceutical manipulation of our physiology leading to unknown future health consequences and possibly to undesirable genetic modifications.

When will we learn to be more careful in our interventions and find the balance between inaction and excessively messing with the natural order of living systems like our own bodies? When will we stop thinking we can inject chemicals like mercury, formaldehyde, and aluminum into our children's veins without future repercussions like increased cancer and autoimmune diseases even though they go largely unnoticed?

Understanding Disease Vulnerability

We are not all equally susceptible to bird flu any more than we are all equally vulnerable to getting a cold. How often have you known people in the same home or workplace to manifest completely different degrees of sickness? One person is ill all the time while another may rarely be affected. What can we learn from this disparity?

The conclusions of German bacteriologist Guenther Enderlein, whose treatment techniques have been used in Europe for more than 50 years, are reported in the book, Vaccines: Are They Really Safe and Effective? written by medical research journalist Neil Miller. "Some germs that live in the human body are, under certain conditions, associated with many of the worst chronic diseases known to mankind. But, when a person is healthy, these microbes are helpful to the body's immune system and live with the other cells in a symbiotic relationship. However, any severe change or deterioration of the body's internal environment- the 'terrain'- due to poor nutrition or other factors, could cause the germs to change into disease-causing forms as they pass through different stages of their life cycle."

Simply put by the French chemist and bacteriologist who had the greatest influence on the course of medicine and the medical concept of disease, Louis Pasteur, "the germ is nothing, the terrain is everything." Pasteur initially believed that external microbes that invaded the body caused all disease. He claimed that healthy tissues were germ-free. However, before he died, he retreated from this view and admitted that the internal environment was the key.

Even Rudolph Virchow, German pathologist and founder of cellular medicine, stated: "If I could live my life over again, I would devote it to proving that germs seek their natural habitat- 'diseased' tissue- rather than being the cause of the 'diseased' tissue." And Dr. George White observed, "if the germ theory were founded on facts, there would be no living being to read what's written."

Healing Hints

1. Focus upon what you can control and influence, at least to some degree, in the midst of life's continual challenges. The stressors you face may be physical, mental/emotional, or chemical. However, if you choose the state of mind that you always have personal power in every situation, then the stressors become positive and health supporting rather than negative and health depleting. Your immune resistance to viral or bacterial exposures will be strengthened.
2. Don't be tempted to declare that you don't truly have the power to change or determine what happens in your life. While you certainly don't control other people or all aspects of various situations, you do have the capacity to create and influence much more than you probably think. You were designed as a creator with a huge canvas to paint upon and an amazing array of brushes and colors. Go and make a splash!
3. Your main source of powerful influence may be limited to your free will choice of how you will orient to the circumstance. What mental/emotional response choice will you make? There is a gap between stimulus and response and therein lies your freedom of choice and power. You will be exceedingly healthier in every aspect of your being by choosing well from a strong center.
4. Read this entire article again and consider the risk versus benefit ratio of the drugs and vaccines being proposed. Remember that there is no guarantee of safety when your body is exposed to these foreign chemicals. You are always a new guinea pig test case even when there have been some studies declaring an acceptable response in other people.
5. Pause and give additional thought to all the germ theory comments by the famous scientists mentioned above. A deeper understanding of these concepts could lead to actions that might save your life and that of your children and grandchildren!
6. Contact us at 559-490-9550 to schedule an appointment to discuss how care of your spine and nervous system as well as enhanced nutrition can safely and powerfully upgrade the functioning of your protective immune system.
