Most people fail to realize that if they would just educate themselves with regard to their health, their most prized possession, they can do far more for themselves than a doctor could do for them.

THE PERIL OF VACCINES

Vaccines in general are dangerous. You should be concerned, very concerned when it comes to vaccines. First of all what are vaccines? “Vaccines primarily consist of dead or weakened ("attenuated") germs of the same type of disease, which are injected into the body in the hope that it will stimulate the organism to produce protein antibodies to protect it against disease.”

Each vaccine is composed of 3 different types of material. 1)  Viruses: The dead type are supposed to only contain dead viruses.  Attenuated Vaccines have live viruses which have been weakened by the addition of poisonous chemicals.

Writing on this subject health researcher,  Vance Ferrell, writes: “Viruses are animals…, although very small ones. It is viruses which are injected into the bloodstream during a vaccination…It is dangerous to eat an animal killed with poisons—with the poisons used to kill it still in and around the meat. That is what you get in dead-virus vaccines…Along with the dead viruses, part of the poisons used to kill them are also mingled into the vaccine. The result cannot be likened to poisoned beef chunks, but rather to beef stew with poison in the beef and the surrounding broth.

“In the case of the weakened viruses, we have tiny animals that are not merely weak—but are half dead! An animal that is half-dead is either diseased or soon will be. But there is more: "Attenuated" viruses are a combination soup. Part of the soup has dead viruses in it; part has nearly dead viruses; part has damaged viruses  which will soon recover. Some will become very strong and vigorous, and some will remain sickly, yet will live and reproduce.

“We are discussing not a single animal, but millions of animals—for that is what is in the sizeable amount of fluid injected into a person’s arm. This is why there is such a variety of dead, half-dead, and recovering viruses in the mixture.

“Now you can see why a person taking a polio vaccine could come down with polio! Polio viruses in the vaccine recovered and rapidly multiplied in his body.

Bacteria and viruses multiply very, very rapidly! There is nothing in the world which multiples as fast—without exception!”[1]

NATURE'S ANTI-BIOTIC GARLIC 

Vaccines also contain: 2) Different types of viruses and bacteria as opposed to just one type of virus. “Because of the source the medical laboratories extract it from, that mixture contains a surprisingly wide variety of bacteria and viruses. The lab workers take the serum from the pus of monkeys, cows, pigs, and other animals. Then they try to "refine" it. But, since they are working with such small creatures, there is no economical way they can screen out most of the foreign substances and life-forms in that extracted fluid.”[2]

Finally Vaccines contain 3) Poisonous chemicals. One or more  poisonous chemicals are stirred into the virus mixture to kill or weaken them. “Besides introducing foreign proteins, and even live viruses into the bloodstream, each vaccine has its own preservative, neutralizer, and carrying agent, none of which are indigenous to the body. For instance, triple antigen DPT (diphtheria, pertussis, and tetanus) contains the following poisons: formaldehyde, mercury (thimersol), and aluminum phosphate (Physician’s Desk Reference, 1980).

"The packet insert for the polio vaccine (Lederle) lists monkey kidney cell culture, lactalbumin hydrolysate, antibiotics, and calf serum. The packet insert (Merck Sharp & Dohme) for the MMR (measles, mumps, and rubella) vaccine lists chick embryo and neomycin, which is a mixture of antibiotics. Chick embryo, monkey kidney cells, and calf serum are foreign proteins, biological substances composed of animal cells, which, because they enter directly into the bloodstream can become part of our genetic material” (World Medicine, September 22, 1971, pp. 69-72; New Medical Journals Limited, Clareville House, pp. 26-27, Oxendon St., London, J.W. 1X4 EL1 England. Reprinted in part in The Dangers of Immunization, published by the Humanitarian Publishing Company, Quakertown, Pennsylvania, 1979, pp. 20-31).

Commenting on the terrible effects of vaccines on the immune system Dr. Guylaine Lanctot says: "Repeated, vaccination exhausts the immune system. It gives a false sense of security and, in doing so, it opens the door wide to all kinds of illnesses." “The medical authorities keep lying. Vaccination has been a disaster on the immune system. It actually causes a lot of illnesses. We are changing our genetic code through vaccination.”[3]

Another doctor, Dr. William Howard Hay, M.D. says: “I have run against so many histories of little children who had never seen a sick day until they were vaccinated and who, in the several years that have followed, have never seen a well day since. I couldn’t put my finger on the disease they have. They just weren’t strong. Their resistance was gone. They were perfectly well before they were vaccinated. They have never been well since."[4]

THE FLU VACCINE

  Is the flu vaccine effective, useless or dangerous? Dr. R. Neustaedter O.M.D. explains , “Everyone knows about the flu and the flu vaccine. What people do not know is that flu vaccines are nearly useless in preventing flu, they will cause the flu, and they often result in nervous system damage that can take years for the body to repair.”[5]

  NATURE'S ANTI-BIOTIC GARLIC

A perusal of how the vaccines are created reminds  me of some of the strange ingredients that show up in the Egyptian medical texts of centuries ago. Dr.Neustaedter explains: “Scientists kill migrating ducks in Asia, culture the viruses and put those in next year's vaccine, because they have seen an association between bird and pig viruses and the following year's human flu epidemics. Perhaps this desperate guesswork is responsible for so many years when the flu vaccines viruses had nothing in common with circulating viruses. According to a CDC report of the 1994-1995 flu season, 87 percent of type A influenza virus samples were not similar to the year's vaccine, and 76 percent of type B virus were not similar to the virus in that year's vaccine. During the 1992-1993 season, 84 percent of samples for the predominant type A virus were not similar to the virus in the vaccine.”[6]

So in every day language the flu vaccine is predicated upon guesswork and is basically useless!

A CNN article dated January 16, 2004 carried the sub-headline, “This year's flu vaccine had little or no effectiveness against influenza-like illnesses, according to a preliminary study released Thursday.”

The study, published by Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report and conducted at Children’s Hospital in Denver Colorado found, “Of the 1,000 people who got the vaccine before November 1, 149 went on to develop influenza-like illness (14.9 percent). Of the 402 people who did not get the vaccine, 68 got an influenza-like illness (16.9 percent).”

Influenza A

What was the rationale given for this well-nigh useless vaccine? According to the article, “This year's outbreak started early and more severely [and] the vaccine did not contain the Fujian A virus that proved to be the predominant strain this year. Despite public health authorities' hopes that there was enough overlap with the vaccine's other strains that some protection would be conferred, that does not appear to be the case.”

Child with flu

Christian author and medical missionary Ellen White, being years ahead of her time wrote, “The endless variety of medicines in the market, the numerous advertisements of new drugs and mixtures, all of which, as they say, do wonderful cures, kill hundreds where they benefit one. Those who are sick are not patient. They will take the various medicines, some of which are very powerful, although they know nothing of the nature of the mixtures. All the medicines they take only make their recovery more hopeless. Yet they keep dosing, and continue to grow weaker, until they die. Some will have medicine at all events. Then let them take these hurtful mixtures and the various deadly poisons upon their own responsibility. God's servants should not administer medicines which they know will leave behind effects upon the system, even if they do relieve present suffering."-4 Spiritual Gifts, 139-140. CD Rom Writings of Ellen White

Writing of the sick she declared: “When in distress, they send for the doctor, and trust their bodies in his hands, expecting that he will make them well. He deals out to them drugs, the nature of which they know nothing; and in their blind confidence they swallow anything that the doctor may choose to give. Thus powerful poisons are often administered, which fetter nature in all her friendly efforts to recover from the abuse the system has suffered; and the patient is hurried out of this life."-2 Selected messages, 441. CD Rom Writings of Ellen White

“The intricate names given medicines are used to cover up the matter, so that none will know what is given them as remedies unless they consult a dictionary."-Medical Ministry, 228. CD Rom Writings of Ellen White

"Were I sick, I would just as soon call in a lawyer as a physician from among general practitioners. I would not touch their nostrums, to which they give Latin names. I am determined to know, in straight English, the name of every­thing that I introduce into my system.” -Manuscript 86, 1897. CD Rom Writings of Ellen White

THE NATURAL METHODS

The natural method for treating the flu is ascertained by first determining what caused the flu. Dr. John Christopher says: “Flu is an advanced cold condition.  A body catches flu when it is full of waste matter and toxins through lowered vitality and by body exposure to cold and dampness.  This is due to mucus in a weak spot in the body--in this case, the respiratory tract.  The contributing factors to this weakness are shallow breathing and a lack of oxygen to that particular area.”[7]

THE FLU

Development of the flu which is basically an advanced cold, an infection of the respiratory tract, is evidence of an overall rundown system, and definitely a run-down immune system.

The flu has many of the same symptoms of a cold, and can sometimes be difficult to tell apart. Both can cause runny nose, sneezing, sore throat, cough, and fatigue with the fatigue usually being more severe with the flu. The cough caused by the flu usually worsens and lasts longer. Both can cause headaches, but the flu also causes body aches, and usually causes fevers, while a cold rarely causes fevers in adults.

The flu, unlike colds can involve stomach symptoms like nausea or vomiting. The cold usually takes about 1-3 days to present itself fully, while the flu hits hard and very quickly, usually in about 24 hours and often-times more quickly than that.

NATURAL MEDICINE RESPONSE

An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure! Poor eating habits i.e. junk foods, soft drinks, overeating, eating between meals, dairy products, and meats all contribute to awarding you a toxic run down system. Overwork, little or no exercise, and lack of fresh air and sunshine are also major factors in making one more susceptible.

Powerful herbal aids combined with a correction of the above habits would be as follows:

1)      It would be a great idea to start off the flu season with a cleanse.

2)      It would also be a good idea to begin to bullet-proof your immune system with the dynamic herbal duo of Garlic and Echinacea (root) combined with Cayenne. These can be obtained in capsule form.

If the immune system is up and running at peak performance, it will keep you safe from any invader. But what if you are stricken with the flu?

REMEDIES

If treatment is started when the symptoms first appear the flu can be overcome in as little as 24 hours!  First you must stop eating and go to bed. The renowned herbalist, Jethro Klauss found that one remedy that worked like a charm was made by using equal parts of the following herbs: agrimony, vervain, boneset, and culivar’s root to a cup of boiling water. A cupful every hour.

RED RASPBERRY LEAF TEA

Dr. John Christopher explains: “When a cold (flu) or fever just gets started, it can be cleared up very easily, if the procedures are started early, before it becomes too advanced.

“One of the most simple remedies is to stop the use of all foods and beverages, take a high herbal enema (catnip is good), and drink only red raspberry leaf tea.  Between cups of this tea, distilled water may be used, and, if desired, give … some good organic (natural) vitamin C.  It is possible to use quarts of red raspberry tea during the day and nothing else.  For children, use according to age.  The runny nose, fever, headache and weariness will leave and you will feel like a new person.  Even after feeling greatly improved, continue on with the red raspberry leaf tea all that day and well into the next day.  If an adult would stay on the tea for three days it would do a wonderful cleaning job for the body.

“To make red raspberry leaf tea use one heaping teaspoonful of cut or granulated (powdered) raspberry leaves into a teacup.  Fill the cup with boiling distilled water, cover and let stand in a warm place for five or ten minutes.  Strain, and drink it while it is very warm.

“According to Dr. Shook, both raspberry leaves and berries contain a very wonderful citrate of iron (FE-2, C-6, H-5, 0-7-2, 6H-20).  It is upon these God-given formulas that the body depends for the remarkable blood-making and regulating properties (astringent and contracting action on internal tissues and membranes).  The leaves also contain pectin and other organic acids, calcium and potassium chloride and sulphate.  Medicinal action and uses of raspberry leaf tea: astringent, tonic, hemostatic, antiseptic, anti-abortient, parturient, anti-gonorrheal, anti-leucorrheal and anti-malarial (Dr. E. Shook).  With this description of a "simple" herbal tea, can you now doubt why it is so good for mankind? In Ezekiel we read 47:12 "...  and the fruit thereof shall be for meat, and the leaf thereof for medicine.”[8]

BONESET TEA

Dr. Christopher, as does Jethro Kloss, includes boneset tea in his arsenal against influenza. He explains: “Another simple procedure: If you feel a cold or flu coming on in the evening, use boneset tea (Eupatorium perfoliatum).  This herb is a nervine stimulant, tonic, diaphoretic, diuretic, and in large doses, emetic, aperient.  Here is another wonderful remedy for breaking a chill in intermittent fever (so-called break-bone fever), muscular rheumatism, bronchitis, influenza, dyspepsia, sore throat, etc.

To use boneset tea, take one ounce of cut boneset herb and over it pour 1 1/4 pints of boiling distilled water.  Cover and set in a hot place to steep (not boil) for thirty minutes.

“As one of our favorite teachers, Dr. Shook, expressed it: In our long experience with herbs, we have learned an important fact and that is that if the American Indian approves of an herb, we can be sure that it has outstanding merit.  The Indians knew all about influenza, and some of their people were stricken with it long before the great world war.  But it was then not called "influenza," but "break-bone fever" because the pain attending it produced the sensation of breaking bones, probably because of the unbearable tension and contraction of ligaments which, when temporarily relaxed in clonic (convulsive) spasms, produced the sensation that the bones were breaking.

“We explain this because boneset immediately relieves that clonus and sets and rests the bones.  Therefore it is a superb remedy for not only "break-bone fever," but also for every other kind of fever man is subject to.  In all cases of influenza, severe colds, chills and fever, the patient must be in bed warmly covered, and hot drinks of the infusion of boneset given in one half teacupful doses every half hour until a copious perspiration sets in.  If it produces vomiting at first, so much the better.  In that case wait until vomiting has completely subsided, then proceed until free perspiration is produced.

“We have never known this herb to fail to overcome influenza and we are of the opinion that there would never be another death from this disease if boneset were at hand and freely used.”[9]

ELDER FLOWER/PEPPERMINT

Another powerful remedy against the flu is the combination of elderflower with peppermint. Elder is a blood purifier, and a general cleanser.

“The great herbalist, Henry Box of Plymouth, England, says: For colds, influenza, fevers, inflammation of the brain, pneumonia (inflammation of the lungs), stomach, bowels or any part, this is a certain cure.  I have never known it to fail, even when given up, and  at  the  point of death.  It will not only save at the eleventh hour, but at the last minute of that hour.  Besides, it is so safe and harmless that you cannot use it amiss.”[10]

Brain in Influenza

This statement carries significant weight when you consider that Henry Box was a herbal physician for more than sixty years and was known as one of the great doctors of all times. The elder flower preparation as given by Dr. Christopher  is as follows:  “The infusion for the tea is made as follows:

               2 ounces elder flowers

               2 ounces peppermint leaves   (crushed)

 1 1/2 pints boiling distilled water

Pour boiling water over herbs, cover and allow to steep (not boil) in a hot place 20 minutes.  Strain and sweeten with honey, then drink the whole amount of tea as hot as possible while closely covered in bed.  Cover a hot water bottle with a cloth or towel dipped in apple cider vinegar and place on the feet.  In a few minutes there will be copious perspiration, and the pulse will slow down and the patient will sleep peacefully for hours…The chemical constituents of elder flower are volatile oil, pectin, potassium chloride, potassium sulphate, sodium, magnesium, calcium salts and a small quantity of potassium nitrate.  These substances, of course, all are organic and natural.  

NATURE'S ANTI-BIOTIC GARLIC 

“When taken alone, elder flowers are inclined to be emetic, and somewhat nauseous to some people.  This effect can be prevented by combining them with peppermint (Mentha piperita).  Peppermint is stimulant, nervine, calmative, and antiemetic, which offsets the undesirable effects of the elder flower.  This combination is world-famous as a great fever and cold remedy.”[11]

A PAST FLU SEASON

Last flu season my wife came home one day with her joints in excruciating pain, and a terrible headache. Not having any elderflower or boneset, which may be difficult to obtain at the local health food store, (especially if you get organic or wild crafted which or much more powerful) I used a different combination  and in less than 24 hours she had improved by about 95% with virtually no symptoms.

Here is what I used. Immediately I walked her to the bathroom and had her to soak her feet in the bathtub in water as hot as she could bear it with the water coming up to her knees as she sat on the edge of the bathtub. (This was for about 15- 30 minutes). Next I had her to drink water as hot as possible with a mixture of fresh squeezed lemon juice, and cayenne pepper (you can substitute cayenne capsules maybe even up 15 or twenty over a matter of 16 to 24 hours).

This mixture was given her every half hour while she lie in bed. I also gave her garlic pills, vitamin c pills, Echinacea pills and grapefruit extract. The extract was in liquid form and mixed in with the water, lemon juice and cayenne pepper. In my opinion one should substitute natural organic vitamin c by taking the herb rosehips which is naturally very high in vitamin C as opposed to many of the commercial forms of synthetic vitamin c.

I gave her this mixture every half hour. Soon the pain subsided and she dropped off to sleep. I would then only wake her every hour for awhile to give her the mixture. Finally I left her alone to sleep and let the body do its healing work.

She slept well into the next day and by the late morning or early afternoon she was at about 95%.

I still recommended that she remain in bed and just rest, or move around very little. The key is to catch it early, when the symptoms first start, and aggressively go after it.

As Robyn Landis in her outstanding book, Herbal Defense, writes, “You can knock the flu! If you act fast, when you feel the first stirrings of symptoms-muscle ache, fever, headache… you can be done in twenty-four hours, stop the otherwise inevitable progress into full-blown disease, and skip the ten days of bed rest.”[12]

Finally, we read in the Bible how herbs were put on this earth for the service of man by the mercy of God.

“He (God) causeth the grass to grow for the cattle and herb for the service of man…” Proverbs 104:14

God Bless
