Does the influenza virus vaccine really protect us from the flu?
Hygienic doctors proclaim "DEFINITELY NOT" Physicians hypothesize:
"Yes, Maybe and No! It depends." Yet, they still recommend that
persons of selected groups take the newly concocted flu vaccine. Those
targeted for the vaccine range from babies six months or older; to
persons age 65 or older; special groups, such as those with chronic
disorders of the pulmonary or cardiovascular systems, and others too
numerous to mention. Actually, the list takes in practically everybody.

The Hygienic theory of the development of influenza is the antithesis
of medical orthodoxy. Physicians believe the disease is due to various
and numerous bacteria or viruses. Hygienists realize that the
development of any disease is dependent on the lifestyle of the
individual. Hygienists live in such a clean manner that their bodies
retain no excess toxins and their Defense Mechanisms are in perfect
condition!

It is impossible to prevent disease by artificial means. You are a
living creature and your body will develop disease when the physical,
mental and environmental conditions are so unsatisfactory they force
the body to initiate an acute elimination crisis, such as
influenza--which, if cared for properly, is not the dreaded disease as
pictured by the purveyors of vaccinations. Vaccines add to the
toxicity of the body and hence, cause disease. You can't make a
healthy person a sick one unless you overwhelm him with poisons. And
vaccines are poisons!

Former flu virus vaccines, using "live" viruses, produced too many
serious, adverse reactions, so a new one had to be concocted. The
latest 2002-2003 formula for flu vaccines is called the "subvirion."
This is a mutilated virus "blended, spliced and macerated" until
nothing but bits and pieces of the virus are left. However, splitting
the virus makes it no less harmful. The toxic antigens, usually
protein or carbohydrate in nature, are still present and are still
poisonous. If they were not poisonous they would not cause the body to
produce antibodies in self-defense. Medically speaking, this is why
they are thought to produce immunity. Physicians are trying to cause a
mild disease based on the ancient idea that if you suffer the disease
once you won't get it again. We very well know that flu, colds,
pneumonia and other acute diseases can develop in the same individuals
multiple times. Although the split virus is purported to be less toxic
than former flu vaccines, after scrutinizing and analyzing its
components and their chemical attributes, I have serious doubts.

Should We Be Vaccinated?
Is the 2002-2003 influenza virus vaccine helpful or detrimental? Will
it protect us or will it cause a great ruckus in the body? Studying
the effects of the components of the influenza virus vaccine is not as
enjoyable as drinking a delicious mango-banana smoothie, but it will
help answer your questions. In fact, learning the contents of this new
vaccine may make you want to either retch or shout: "No thank you!"

The flu vaccine contains a variety of other substances besides the
molecules of the subvirion that wreck havoc with your health. I am
sorry to have to tell you that it is grown in an embryonic chicken or
in the allantoic fluids that surround it in the egg. All flu vaccines
are manufactured a little differently, and contain slightly different
components, but they all contain hemagglutinin antigens that can cause
clumping of the red blood cells. If this happens in the bloodstream,
it will cause an even greater blockage of circulation than an accident
on a busy freeway. The hemagglutinin antigens coupled with the body's
antibodies against them can block arteries, killing cells by the
thousands. The cells in vital organs will be starved for air, food and
water, just as they are in serious cardiovascular diseases. In short,
this could easily lead you to premature death and a beautiful but
gloomy casket.

It may be difficult to understand how this little 0.5 milliliter dose
could be so devastating, but this will become clearer as we explore
the disruptive effects of each component of the vaccine on your body.
The 2002-2003 influenza vaccine contains 15 ug hemagglutinin antigens
of different viruses thought to cause influenza, such as New Caldonia,
Panama, Moscow, and Hong Kong. In addition to the "jet-set"
hemagglutinins, the vaccine also contains the enzyme neuraminidase.
The hemagglutinins are the factors that are supposed to engender
antibodies to render you immune to influenza. Both hemagglutinins and
neuraminidases are on the surface of the virus and end up as toxic
molecules in the split virus, the subvirion.

Neuraminidase is an enzyme that catalyzes chemical reactions of N
acetylneuraminic acid and other neuraminic acids, which are members of
a group of substances classed as sialic acids. Neuraminic acid is one
of the major species of sugars found in humans and it is a component
of practically all the glycoproteins. N-acetylneuraminic acid and
other neuraminic acids are the predominate sugars in glycoproteins.
Glycoproteins consist of a spine of protein with carbon chains of
oligosaccharides jutting off its sides like centipede legs. The enzyme
neuraminidase, found in the flu vaccine is very damaging. It can cut
out neuraminic acid from any or all of the glycoproteins in the cell
membrane just like a good cutting horse cuts out the exact calf wanted
by his master. Cutting out one calf weakens the herd. Cutting out
neuraminic acid from the cell membrane weakens the cell membrane.

Glycoproteins: Our Lives Depend on Them
Glycoproteins are complex carbohydrates that are practically
omnipresent and needed everywhere for very crucial functions. All the
plasma proteins are glycoproteins, except for albumin. Glycoproteins
are in all cell membranes; in bone and cartilage, in the brain, etc.
If they are disrupted or destroyed by vaccines containing
neuraminidase, untold detrimental effects occur throughout the entire
body! Like a Jack Of All Trades, glycoproteins perform many VIP
functions. Similar to private limousines that transport VIP people to
special places, glycoproteins transport VIP substances such as
vitamins, lipids, minerals and trace elements throughout the body.
Additionally, glycoproteins are produced by cells when exposed to
viruses, bacteria, and experimental chemicals. They actually become
antiviral substances themselves, and are called "interferons" because
they interfere with viral multiplication.

To damage glycoproteins in any manner can be compared to the
demolition of a huge building by pulling out several of the basic
parts of its foundation. The whole body falls apart, as does the
building. That is what neuramidases can do to you when you allow them
to be injected in the form of "immunizations." Actually, rather than
immunizing you, they do just the opposite; they give you false hopes
of protection and then slash away at you with enzymic knives.

The liver recognizes and destroys all glycoproteins that are missing
their sialic acids, inactivating the glycoproteins.

The pharmaceutical companies say that neuraminidase aids the virus to
leave the cell, but this is at the expense of cellular life itself.
The cell has that lost its glycoproteins is now functionally crippled,
because its glycoproteins are damaged. If one pile of a bridge is
damaged, this leads to a weakening of the whole bridge, which becomes
a hazard to those crossing it; just as our cell membranes are a hazard
to us when their glycoproteins are functionally damaged.

Medical Theory of Vaccination is Flawed
Medical theory holds that increased levels of antibodies against
specific antigens by vaccination will prevent the development of a
particular disease, such as influenza. On the other hand, Hygienists
hold that our susceptibility to disease increases with the number of
vaccinations. This includes the dreaded demon disease, cancer.

Red blood cells and all cells have antigenic properties because all
have both protein and carbohydrates in the cell wall, as we have just
learned. Research has demonstrated that N-neuraminidase causes red
blood cells to lose their antigenicity. It follows then that the virus
hemagglutinins in the vaccine also lose their antigenicity because of
N-neuraminidase, and consequently those who are vaccinated cannot form
antibodies against the hemagglutinins! If antibodies can't be formed
then according to medicine, the vaccine is useless, because it is the
antibodies that, in medical thought, create immunity to influenza. If
the pharmaceutical companies think they are producing immunity with
this vaccine they had better rethink their hypothesis. The small
oligosaccharides in glycoproteins of mammalian tissues are formed with
just a few monosaccharides and neuraminic acid is the predominate one.
Furthermore, neuraminidases also split off other sugars from
glycoproteins, producing as much damage as cutting off neuraminic
acid. These oligosaccharides are found in the glycoproteins of all
cell membranes. So the vaccine is worthless as well as very damaging
to all the tissues in the body.

The Growing and Preparation of Influenza Virus Vaccine
The allantoic fluids in which the flu vaccine is grown, contain a
white crystalline substance called allantoin. As an animal waste
product, it is not usable and hence it is toxic. Allantoin has a high
nitrogen content, which is why it is used as fertilizer. Allantoin is
broken down to dirueidoacetic acid. Diureidoacetic acid can be further
broken down to another product that is partly responsible for the
development of kidney and bladder stones.

Five hundred micrograms of gentamicin, a broad spectrum antibiotic, is
added to each embryonated chicken egg to inhibit the growth of
bacteria. Formaldehyde, which is often used as a preservative, and
thought to be carcinogenic in humans, is used to inactivate the virus.

Two chemicals, tri butylphosphate and Polysorbate 80, USP are added to
the subvirion to inactivate and disrupt a significant proportion of
the virus. Then, resin is added to eliminate "substantial portions" of
these two chemicals, tri butylphosphate and Polysorbate 80. You can be
certain that some of these chemicals are still components of the
vaccine when injected. Still, more purification is required because of
the presence of undisclosed other "undesirable materials" in the vaccine.

So, at this point, we see that the vaccine contains: Allantoin and its
breakdown products; various egg proteins; gentamicin, an antibiotic;
formaldehyde; resin, and tri butylphosphate, as well as polysorbate
80, which is used as an excipient in formulating tablets. In other
words, polysorbate 80 is the vehicle or carrier for most drugs, and it
is also found in ice creams and other fabricated fake foods. To
preserve this witches' brew, thimerosal, a mercury derivative, is
used. Therefore, each 0.5 milliliter dose influenza vaccine contains
25 micrograms of mercury. Do you want all that in your body?

Some companies use polyethylene glycol and Isooctylphenyl for various
reasons when producing the subvirion. Such chemicals cannot produce
health. Polyethylene Glycol is a relative of ethylene glycol
(antifreeze) which is often used to poison dogs and other predators of
sheep. The body has a very difficult time expelling it because it is
resistant to biodegradation. Isocctylphenyl ether is a compound of
ether and has anesthetic properties. Isooctylphenyl ether is a
teratogen, causing abnormal prenatal development. It also induces
testicular atrophy in animals, and possibly in people.

I wish to caution you that animal reproductive studies have not been
conducted with influenza virus vaccine. It is also not known whether
influenza virus vaccine can cause fetal harm when administered to a
pregnant woman or if it might affect reproductive capacity.

Vaccines Guarantee Nothing
Please be aware that the vaccinating profession does not proclaim
complete immunity for you, but states that it merely "reduces the
likelihood of infection; or if you do develop the disease it will be a
milder case." Listen to another confession: "It is known definitely
that influenza virus vaccine, as now constituted, is not effective
against all possible strains of influenza virus. Any protection
afforded is only against those strains of virus from which the vaccine
is prepared or against closely related strains." Our body's defense
mechanisms do better than that! It has natural killer cells that
attack all strains of viruses and bacteria.

The 2002-2003 vaccine is not "effective" against any other strain of
influenza virus or some that are closely related. You are not
protected even if you are vaccinated! So many different viruses and
bacteria supposedly cause influenza that it is a wonder people don't
see that there is something wrong here! How can one be artificially
immune to any disease when hundreds of different viruses and bacteria
"cause" the same disease? How can we even believe that they cause
disease in any case, since they are always present in health and
disease? Most of the time they are our benefactors–they actually help
us rid the body of toxins.

Vaccines Build Disease!
Perhaps you have been assured by your physician that Influenza virus
vaccine contains only dead viruses and that it cannot cause influenza.
This is nonsense. Influenza vaccine contains the proteins found in the
RNA of the virus. These proteins, like egg or chicken protein, are
alien to our bodies. Our bodies can only use the proteins and
carbohydrates we make ourselves. All others are toxic and must be
degraded and tossed out. Therefore, when you take vaccines, the
foreign proteins and carbohydrates increase the toxicity of your body
sufficiently to warrant an elimination crisis. Not only could you get
influenza but you could get any other disease to which you have a
physical tendency. This is why physicians state that "...coincidental
respiratory disease unrelated to influenza vaccination can occur after
vaccination." Excuses, excuses...

The most frequent "side effect" of vaccination is soreness at the site
of the vaccination site for up to two days. Does that sound like
something that is good for you? Your body tissues become red, swollen
and inflamed because of the toxic vaccine. Other injection site
reactions are: pain or tenderness, erythema, inflammation, skin
discoloration, induration, a mass or lump; and hypersensitivity
reactions including puritus and urticaria. In addition, the following
types of systemic problems have occurred after vaccination: Fever,
malaise, myalgia, and other systemic symptoms such as arthralgia,
asthenia, chills, dizziness, headache, lymphadenopathy, rash, nausea,
vomiting, diarrhea, pharyngitis, angiopathy and vasculiltis, as well
as anaphylactic shock. Many asthmatics have severe reactions from
taking flu virus vaccines and anaphylaxis is one of them, sometimes
ending in death within one hour.

The human body learns to tolerate poisons if given to them often
enough and long enough. But the price is dear, because changes in
tissues are taking place that are detrimental to your health, ending
up in one or more degenerative diseases. The only way out is to live
healthfully so you do not tolerate toxins!

Getting vaccinated builds disease–not immunity! All vaccines are
poisons and every new vaccine is a new poison!

Why We Get the Flu
Sickness already exists before the virus or bacteria can propagate in
large numbers. The body's toxic tissues are the basic cause of the
disease; not the bacteria. When your body finds itself overflowing
with excess waste, like a stopped up toilet, it flows over too, with
mucus exuding from one or many body parts. You may find yourself
leaking from the nose, or throat, or lungs, or eyes and ears, and
sometimes all of these at once; or the inflammation may march along
like a band going from one block to the next, until the toxic level
has come down to the toleration point of the individual. You are
apparently well, and you are indeed free of symptoms because the body
ceases its eliminations upon reaching your particular toleration
point. However, you are not really healthy until your body tolerates
only the normal amount of wastes, as in a genuinely healthy
individual. It takes time and right living to get to that point.
Fasting hastens this process.

An acute disease, such as influenza, is a necessary pathophysiological
process instituted by the body itself, designed to eliminate the
excess body wastes by way of the mucous membranes. The bodily
intelligence decides which area is the most appropriate and best
avenue to rid itself of certain waste products, and when these are so
overwhelming that the ordinary avenues of elimination such as the
kidneys can't handle them all, they are then pushed out through other
channels such as the skin and mucous membranes. When cared for
Hygienically, influenza never becomes a deadly disease.

The point is that the body is self-protecting and self-healing. If we
all gave up the idea of "cures" and lived correctly, there would be no
need for medications to suppress our symptoms or vaccines to give us a
false idea that we are "protected."

Keeping Well
Neither healthy nor sick persons need to be vaccinated. The healthy
person should continue on with a healthful lifestyle, and the sick
individual should find out what in his or her lifestyle is causing the
sickness, eliminate it; and then work towards a more healthful
lifestyle. If you desire to keep well it certainly helps to know what
can make you sick and avoid it.

Medical treatments of all kinds can predispose you to influenza. In
short, anything that enervates, or saps energy, can exacerbate any
tendencies we may have toward disease. All "enervators," i.e., those
things which rob you of nerve energy and weaken you physically and
mentally, will predispose you to an acute disease. Some of the
greatest enervators are all drugs, medications, and poison habits such
as indulging in coffee, tea, alcohol, and smoking. All bad health
habits are enervating, but the greatest enervators of all are
pharmaceuticals, including vaccines.

It is difficult for individuals to see all this clearly, because for
24 hours a day they are under the barrage of medical propaganda and
coercion. They fear for their lives and know nothing about the healing
powers of the living organism. The ill-fated individual does not know
what to think or do, being lost in the hazy woods of the mysticism of
medicine. What we need in this world is truth and enlightenment! To
quote Dr. Herbert M. Shelton's favorite slogan: "Let us have the truth
though the heavens may fall."

Flu Shots Linked to Alzheimer's!

"According to Hugh Fudenberg, MD, the world's leading immunogeneticist
and 13th most quoted biologist of our times (nearly 850 papers in peer
review journals), if an individual has had five consecutive flu shots
between 1970 and 1980 (the years studied) his/her chances of getting
Alzheimer's Disease is ten times higher than if they had one, two or
no shots. I asked Dr. Fudenberg why this was so and he said it was due
to the mercury and aluminum that is in every flu shot (and most
childhood shots). The gradual mercury and aluminum buildup in the
brain causes cognitive dysfunction. Is that why Alzheimer's is
expected to quadruple? Notes: Recorded from Dr. Fudenberg's speech at
the NVIC International Vaccine Conference, Arlington, VA September,
1997. Quoted with permission. Alzheimer's to quadruple statement is
from John's Hopkins Newsletter Nov 1998."

[guest2]

Thank you for posting this. The people that I know that got the flu shots last year all got sick...those of us who did not either did nto get the flu or got a very mild case of it.

[BlessedMommy]

I think it does work for some people and not others.

For years my dh would get the flu each winter -- he'd be in bed for days with a fever, etc. For the last 3 years he has gotten the flu shot and not gotten the flu.

[bamamomto4]

The only one of us that will be getting it is Jayme because of her asthma. I don't wanna spend 4 days in Childrens Hosp again this year.

[Ellise]

Our doctor advised us NOT to get a flu shot this year!

[BlessedMommy]

We have friends that go to the same dr. that we do and the dr. recommended 3 out of 4 in our family get the shot (athsma, etc.), but none in their family, so I don't think our dr. was handing them out lightly (and this was before the shortage).

[mom2matty]

Very interesting article!!!! Thank you for posting it. I have 2 dks that are both considered high risk....both have asthma and yet we are not able to get the shot......there is a very good posibility that they won't get it this year for the first time in many years. Since I can't get them vaccinated I have had to do a lot of research and educating myself in other ways to heal and try and prevent them from getting sick! I have been extremely worried and I am hoping they both stay healthy!!

This article has given me a lot of think about!
