 A Letter to Grandparents on the Polio Vaccine

Recently, I received an email from a grandparent named Richard pertaining to the polio epidemic.  This is a very important question and I decided to share this with those who visit my site.  I get asked regularly about the polio epidemic and those who ask me feel that the vaccine is responsible for saving thousands of lives and believe the vaccine eradicated polio. I share this with you to hopefully give those who were growing up in the 1920’s to 1950’s a different point of view. This is part of Richard’s email:

“You see, I can remember what it used to be like. Early fall was a time of fear, public pools closed, my friends couldn’t come out and play and the papers had pictures of other kids in iron lungs or leg braces. We feared disease. We knew measles could kill. We knew kids who wore leg braces. We remembered a President with polio.”

“It seems your goal is not only to make vaccination voluntary but my guess is that you want to live in a world where there are no vaccinations. I used to live in a world where that was partially true. Trust me, you wouldn’t like it.”

 Sincerely,

Richard

I want to first thank Richard for taking the time to email me and visit my web site.  I know that many people who grew up in the 1920 – 1950 era feel this way.  I feel that this topic needs to be addresses from a historical view.

First, looking back historically, these infectious illnesses referred to were very prevalent in the mid 1800’s to early 1900’s.  Several studies have proven that these infectious diseases were almost completely gone before vaccines were introduced.  The death rates were at all time lows through out United States and Great Brittan and countries without vaccines also had decreases.   I believe that Americans have been sold a lie. The statement below is from a very reliable source and is one of many.

“According to the World Health Statistics Annual of 1973-1976 said that there had been a steady decline in infectious diseases in most developing countries regardless of vaccines administered.  They believe that the diseases disappeared as a result of improved sanitation, improved water supplies improved personal hygiene and better nutrition.  In addition, diseases for which there were no vaccines also declined dramatically.  From 1850 to 1940, diseases had declined by 90% and were at an all time low, just when vaccines were being introduced.” 

See the charts below, showing when vaccines were introduced for specific diseases.  These charts are from the books of Neil Miller, author and researcher available on www.thinktwice.com.

 

 

The American Medical Association and the Center for Disease Control have taken credit for eradicating diseases in the United States when in fact; they were on their way out because of previously stated reasons. 

The small pox vaccine did not eradicate small pox as we have been told.  Only 10% of the world’s population received the vaccine.  In a June 19-20, 2002 meeting in Atlanta Georgia meeting the Advisory Committee on Immunizations Practice said that small pox would have died out on its own due to improved sanitation, improved water supply and improved nutrition.  It is my opinion that the only way to help our third world countries is to improve these environmental problems and they too, will have better health. The answer is not injecting toxic vaccines into people who already are not healthy!

The email went on to say:

“You can afford to ignore the good immunization does and concentrate on the slightest risk because you have no fear of those diseases that my generation had to live with. You can claim that vaccines cause autism because autism is something you know and fear and because you can’t do anything about it and you have to find a cause.”

First, in response to Richard’s reference of “the slightest risks”:

 I have been researching the “risks of vaccinations” for the last 25 years.   The autism epidemic in the country now affects 1 in every 150 school age children and learning disabilities are 1 in 6 children.  Vaccines are being linked to many other chronic health problems such as diabetes, asthma and seizure disorders and at alarming rates.  I do not consider these “slightest risks”.  On the other hand, most infectious illnesses are not life threatening unless a child is already sick or immune compromised. Complete recovery from these illnesses is the normal for most, with life time immunity.  However, vaccine induced chronic illnesses are life sentences for most children and are causing financial, emotional and economical devastation to the whole country.  Congressman Burton said, “Every day these vaccines are out there, 8000 children are at risk.”  He was referring to vaccines with thimerosal and I believe they still are using thimerosal in the vaccines.  The estimated average cost to take care of one child with autism is   2 million dollars over the lifetime and we are not prepared to take care of a whole generation of autistic adults, most of which are males.

Addressing Richard’s statement, “You can claim that vaccines cause autism…”

I have met thousands of parents at autism conferences around the country and most believe that their children were developing quite well until their second or third dose of vaccines.  There are hundreds of doctors and researchers who point the finger to vaccines as the #1 cause, not discounting other causes.   When you consider what is in vaccines, it is no surprise that children and senior citizens are full of neuro toxins leading to a variety of illnesses.

Vaccine Ingredients: Some of the known toxins in vaccines:

·        Phenol, (poison) Formaldehyde (cancer causing and used to embalm)

·        Alum (a preservative)

·        Acetone (used in nail polish remover)

·        Aluminum phosphate (used in deodorants, toxic)

·        Glycerin (toxic to the kidney, liver, can cause lung damage, gastrointestinal damage and death).

·        Monosodium Glutamate (MSG)

·        Fecal Matter, Horse serum, Calf serum, Urine, chick embryo,

·        lead and cadmium and thimerosal (ethyl mercury) used in over 50 vaccines

·        Sulfates, yeast proteins, antibiotics, as well as unknown amounts of RNA and DNA from animal and human cell tissue cultures.

 

Vaccine Production: Virus is gathered from sick infected person or animal from urine, blood, puss or feces that must be grown on a toxic medium: decomposing animal organs;

baby hamsters, African monkey kidneys, chicken eggs, aborted fetal tissue to name a few.    Once it is grown it is inactivated with formaldehyde, aluminum or other agents.  Then it is preserved with other toxins which are unnatural, synthetic, and immune suppressing and/or carcinogenic. 

 

The growth mediums for the virus are known to be contaminated with retroviruses foreign to humans, rare genetic material (DNA, RNA), monkey kidneys and other animals.

 

More on the Polio Vaccine:

It is known that the live polio vaccine contained SV40, a cancer-producing virus and for the first time a hearing was held in Washington on September 9, 2003 by the Subcommittee on Human Health and Wellness, U.S. Government Reform Committee

Chaired by Congressman Burton (R-IN).  SV40 is associated with brain, bone and lung tumors found in children and adults today from vaccinations. This vaccine was used until the late 90’s.

Previously in Washington on August 3, 1999 at a Polio Vaccine Hearing by the Committee on Government Reform and Oversight and House of Representatives:

Written testimony of Dr. Howard B. Urnovitz
I am grateful to this committee for allowing me to address the issue of vaccine safety. I am Dr. Howard B. Urnovitz. In 1979, I received my doctorate degree in Microbiology and Immunology from the University of Michigan, where I studied vaccines. I am testifying today as the Scientific Director of the Chronic Illness Research Foundation. For the record, I am also the chief science officer of a biotechnology corporation.

Howard Urnovitz said,  “On the issue of informed consent: Had my mother and father known that the polio virus vaccines of the 1950s were heavily contaminated with more than 26 monkey viruses, including the cancer virus SV40, I can say with certainty that they would not have allowed their children and themselves to take those vaccines. Both of my parents might not have developed cancers suspected of being vaccine-related, and might even be alive today. Government, industry, and medicine should embrace the ethical principle of informed consent about possible adverse reactions associated with vaccines.”

Our government is trying to hide behind “junk science” riddled with conflict of interest in our Institute of Medicine, Federal Drug Administration and the Center for Disease Control.  The time is coming when they will not be able to deny their responsibility in the catastrophic rise in illness due to toxic vaccines.    

Most people, including your medical doctor, do not know what is in vaccines, how vaccines are manufactured or developed.  According to Dr. Robert Mendelsohn, renowned pediatrician for 30 years and author of several books such as, “The Medical Heretic” and “How to Raise a Healthy Child in Spite of Your Doctor, he writes the following; “The pediatrician serves as the recruiter for the medical profession.  He indoctrinates your child from birth into a lifelong dependency on medical intervention.  The best way to raise a healthy child is to keep him/her away from the doctors except emergency care.  Most doctors ignore the fact that the human body is a wondrous machine with the astonishing capacity to repair itself.”  Dr. Mendelsohn goes on to say “The first stage of the indoctrination is the well baby visit- a cherished ritual of the pediatrician that enhances their income but does nothing constructive for your child. Well baby visits are worthless...” page 24-24.    “The purpose of the pediatrician is to vaccinate your child.”  In chapter 19 he states, “The greatest threat of childhood disease lies in the dangerous and ineffectual efforts made to prevent them-mass immunizations.”  He goes on to call vaccines the “sacred cow” of modern medicine. 

Could it be that a whole generation of Americans has been told a big lie? 

The email said, “autism is something you know and fear and because you can’t do anything about it and you have to find a cause.”

I will say first of all, I do not fear autism; I have compassion for the unsuspecting victims of vaccine injury and their families.  I believe the good Lord has me in a position to help them and stop further injury.  I want to see a study comparing the un vaccinated children with the vaccinated children.  I believe that the truth would be exposed if this study is done.  

In the statement about autism,because you can’t do anything about it

I am doing much and so are many other people!  I help parents get fully informed before they vaccinate, which I believe will make a huge difference. Most parents do not know what they are consenting to, just as I believe you did not know what you were taking when you were given the live oral polio sugar cube vaccine.  After attending my vaccine presentations, most parents will think hard and long before giving any vaccines and most importantly, will make a fully informed decision, understanding all the risks.  

Dr. Boyd Haley from University of Kentucky has studied newborn babies for mercury toxicity.  He has found that if the mother had amalgam dental fillings, the baby will be born with a full load of mercury.  We then begin to vaccinate day one with vaccines containing other toxins including mercury and the direct effect on the brain is shocking.  These babies don’t stand a chance. 

Yes, some babies are born with autism but we also have vaccinated two generations before with mercury laced vaccines.  How will we ever know if a child is born with autism unless we postpone vaccinations until later in life?   The problem will only get worse as we add more vaccines to the already heavy burden of 23 shots for 13 diseases by 6 months of age!

Richard then stated, “and  you have to find a cause.”

You’re not suggesting that there is no cause and we should not search for one, are you?  There are hundreds of children who have recovered from full blown autism with the right detoxification and nutrition program, which proves that if you know the cause, you can find the cure.  This is not easy and all children will not recover because the damage is so severe.  Defeat Autism Now is a national group of doctors and researchers who are un-raveling the complex problems facing vaccine induced autism.  What an eye opening experience it would be for the American Mom and Dad to attend a conference and discover what they are unveiling.  Eliminate vaccines and other contributing factors and I believe autism will eventually go away along with many other chronic problems.

Richard ended his email wit this statement:

“It seems your goal is not only to make vaccination voluntary but my guess is that you want to live in a world where there are no vaccinations. I used to live in a world where that was partially true. Trust me, you wouldn’t like it.”

Richard, I believe in Freedom and Liberty.  As a parent, an American and an adult, I do not want my government telling me what I must put into my body or my children’s bodies.  I no longer trust those who hold powerful positions in our government because I believe their motive is no longer the well being of the citizens of this country.   Unfortunately, the burden of proof is on the parents who believe childhood vaccines have injured or killed their children.  Vaccines, at this time, are the only mandated drugs and therefore, should be proven safe and effective.  There are no long term safety studies and the studies the drug manufactures present are flawed and bias.  The Institute of Medicine gets a percent of every vaccine given in this country.  There should be no financial ties allowed.  On Feb 27, 2005 the New York Times reported that the CDC dismantled the vaccine safety department because its primary focus is to promote vaccines.  The IOM wants a new separate department made up of parents and independent people who will truly look at vaccine safety.  This is a huge step in the right direction! 

I love this quote!

“When we give the power to government to make medical decisions for us, in essence, the state owns our bodies”.  U.S. Representative Ron Paul M.D.

I hope this paper has addressed the issue of polio and other infectious illnesses.   My opinion is that when a healthy child gets normal childhood illnesses, it can help develop a strong immune system.  The more we allow our bodies to work out these immune hurtles in life, the better we will function in this hostel environment as adults.  Our focus should not be on chasing germs and viruses. It should be on promoting health naturally by supporting immune function and development.  Our world is full of healthier options such as chiropractic, essential oils, homeopathy, good nutrition and an active life style to name a few.

This paper is a small example of the information I present at my vaccine lecture.  For a schedule of my speaking events or to schedule a presentation, see my home page on my web site for the complete schedule.

Working today for a better tomorrow,
