CITIZENS DEMANDING VACCINATION CHOICE CARRY CHRIS CHRISTIE TO NEW JERSEY GOVERNORSHIP

November 3, 2009, Middletown, NJ – In an unprecedented and historic move, Chris Christie put pen to paper last week and made an official campaign promise to citizens of New Jersey in support of vaccination choice. He further cemented his position on live radio with Don Imus, by becoming the first gubernatorial candidate to utter the words vaccines, autism and parental choice in the same sentence. Vaccine choice supporters showed up in record numbers tonight to cast their vote for Christie.

“Tonight, vaccine choice advocates in New Jersey are proud to announce that vaccination choice is officially a voting block,” says Life Health Choices Founder, Louise Kuo Habakus, who met with campaign leaders last December and kept the lines of communication open. “This election is a wake-up call to politicians nationwide. Vaccine choice belongs in the parents’ house, not the Statehouse or the White House.”

After receipt of the official Christie campaign promise on Friday, vaccination choice and autism advocates mobilized in force on the internet. They alerted tens of thousands of supporters, who in turn took to Facebook, Twitter, and their own support group networks to reach hundreds of thousands more. News of Christie’s now famous statement spread like wildfire through the state and across the country:

“I stand by them now, and will stand with them as their governor in their fight for greater parental involvement in vaccination decisions that affect their children… Ending waste in government in order to improve care and services for these unique children and adults, as well as giving parents the choice they deserve in their children’s health care decisions, will be top priorities.”

Anger towards Governor Corzine has been building. It is well known that New Jersey, Autism Capital of the world, is also Ground Zero for mandated shots for school. Many parents and grandparents blame environmental causes, including the state’s ultra-aggressive vaccine schedule. The “Freedom of Choice” rally in Trenton last fall garnered national media attention and catapulted this issue into the mainstream dialogue. On the heels of Corzine’s 2008 decision to add four additional vaccine mandates to the state’s already crowded schedule, thousands of parents have lined up to attend vaccination choice seminars and protests across the state.

In August, Christie and running mate, Monmouth County Sheriff Kim Guagdano, met with parents and received an unvarnished assessment of New Jersey’s position on this issue from Habakus: “Fifty percent of Americans in 18 U.S. states including the highly populous, corridor states of California and Texas have vaccination choice. We deserve it here, in the state that leads the nation in autism incidence and the number of mandated shots for school attendance.”

“We look forward to Governor-elect Christie’s leadership and working with the new administration,” says Habakus.

MDCVC is organizing county captains to assist in lobbying for Vaccine Choice.

In addition we  are also asking  captains (or anyone interested) to start some Vaccine Information Sessions (VIS). This would be informal, and in people’s homes. It is about education and networking with in the community.

The outline of the VIS home session would include:

1. An introduction of your background and how you became interested on the topic

2. Then review a few facts and statistics

3. Tell people about The Vaccine Safety Manual and take orders if people are interested.

4. Ask people to sign the Petition for Vaccine Choice. (They will then get two free eBook’s)

5. View a DVD

6. Have a handout/reference sheet for people to take home.

7. The hostess will get a free copy of The Vaccine Safety Manual

It will be clarified that the home sessions are not to debate, just to offer information. These sessions will get the information out there and help the constituency cause for Vaccine Choice.

Governor has broad power in event of H1N1 crisis

Cumberland Times-News

DAVID M. JOHNSON
CNHI News Service

WASHINGTON — Quarantine, forced vaccination and martial law are just a few of the options available to Gov. Martin O’Malley should the H1N1 virus spread uncontrollably, according to professors who talked Wednesday about the civil rights problems an outbreak could create.

Michael Greenberger and Dr. Marita Mike from the University of Maryland Center for Health and Homeland Security and Wendy Mariner from Boston University’s School of Public Health discussed the legal and constitutional implications of the government’s response to a potential H1N1 pandemic at the National Press Club.

“The Maryland governor has the power to compel people to take medical measures; he could compel medical vaccinations; he can quarantine; he can isolate; he can seize medications … he can condemn or reorient how hospitals give treatment; he can shelter people in place; he can move them out of the city,” Greenberger said. “He has the power to overturn any law that interferes with his ability to respond to the catastrophe.”

Disease prevention laws in many states shifted from public health to national security and emergency preparedness after the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001. In Maryland, the statute was passed almost overnight, according to Greenberger.

Epidemics are similar to terrorist attacks in that they have the potential to strike at any time, so laws that dictate government responses to these emergencies should be scrutinized, said Mariner.

“It is especially important to look at what laws bar so we don’t undermine fundamental human rights,” Mariner said. “Laws that suspend civil rights during epidemics become laws that suspend constitutional rights in our daily lives, perhaps indefinitely.”

So far, no public health emergency law has been challenged in Maryland court because no governor has had to use one.

 

“When you look at the statute books state to state, while they aren’t well defined, the power they give to governors and local executives are truly extraordinary,” Greenberger said. “The issues I’ve outlined are the issues lawyers and those that care about the application of law in this area will have to be thinking about very carefully.”

According to the panel, H1N1’s impact would have to get worse before any governor would think about drastic measures, but such a scenario could be imagined.

“This thing attacks the lungs,” Greenberger said. “Ventilators cost $35,000; we have a very limited supply of ventilators. You can just imagine having someone you care about and knowing that if they can get on a ventilator, they’ll live.”

Lack of ventilators, vaccine or anti-virals in any state could force governors or other executives to turn to these laws.

In New York, the state health commissioner recently order-ed all state health care workers to get the H1N1 vaccine. Last week, after facing a lawsuit, the state suspended the mandatory requirement saying limited supplies should be used for those most at risk for serious illness.

“Nurses who were perfectly willing to get vaccines voluntarily, got their backs up and began to resist when they were told it was necessary,” Mariner said about the New York situation. “The danger can be illustrated by the old axiom, if the only tool you have is a hammer, then every problem looks like a nail. If the only tools you have are quarantine and isolation then what happens when you need more vaccine? You can’t force people to get a vaccine you don’t have.”

Homeopathy developed its greatest popularity in the 19th century primarily because of the truly impressive successes it experienced in treating the serious infectious disease epidemics of that era, including typhoid, cholera, yellow fever, scarlet fever, and influenza.  In the (in)famous flu epidemic of 1918, statistics show that the death rates in homeopathic hospitals was 1-2%, while it was around 30% in the conventional medical hospitals.

The worst thing that you can do if you and your child get the flu is to take aspirin or Tylenol! Because the fever is one of the important ways that the body defends itself against the flu virus, conventional drugs that suppress the fever can slow down the healing process and possibly damage a person’s health in a significant way.

As for the flu vaccine, the media has and is presently encouraging everyone to get vaccinated, especially infants, children, and the elderly.  However, systematic reviews of the efficacy of the flu vaccine on these populations have shown only modestly positive results at best.  Due to some people’s sensitivity to vaccinations and its adjunctive ingredients, it is challenging to determine whether or not to get vaccinated. Tom Jefferson, MD, is considered the world’s leading authority on influenza vaccinations.  He has authored ten reviews for the Cochrane Collaboration, which is the most respected international center that evaluates medical research.  Dr. Jefferson has asserted, “There is no evidence whatsoever that seasonal influenza vaccines have any effect, especially in the elderly and young children  No evidence of reduced [number of] cases, deaths, complications.”  Dr. Jefferson further asserts, “What you see every year as the flu is caused by 200 or 300 different agents with a vaccine against two of them.  That is simply nonsense.”    Further, Dr. Jefferson has also declared, “the H1N1 is not a major threat (this link is to an excellent short interview with him).”  Dr. Jefferson has noted that Australia has just completed its winter, and there were only 131 deaths related to flu out of 22 million Australians.

The most popular protocol that homeopaths use at present to defend against the flu is INFLUENZINUM 9C.  We are presently taking orders for this  year’s INFLUENZINUM nosode which we expect to arrive around October 20th.  The common protocol is to take the 9C once a week for four weeks and then take the final dose one month later.  To order this five-dose protocol, click HERE.  We can special order other potencies of this medicine upon request. This Influenzinum is derived from the three most common flu viruses (according to the Pasteur Institute, Paris).  It does not include the swine flu H1N1.  At present, there is no “swine” flu nosode.

Treatment of the Flu…
If you’re knowledgeable about homeopathy, it is best to individually select a homeopathic medicine for each person according to his/her symptoms. Because the H1N1 flu is consider similar to the virus known to cause the 1918 flu, Gelsemium may be an important medicine. Other homeopaths recommend that you seriously consider Ipecacuahna. (Both of these medicines can be purchased from us, though orders for single medicines must be made by phone or fax:  800-359-9051 (phone orders in the US) or 510-649-1955 (fax). For the treatment of the flu, some “user-friendly” medicines are made by Heel, Inc. (the 2nd largest German homeopathic company).  One double-blind placebo controlled randomized study showed that a homeopathic medicine called Engystol reduced by over 30% the length and the severity of influenza and the common cold.”  These positive clinical results are consistent with the basic science research has showed that Engystol increases immune function through increasing the percentage of interferon-producing lymphocytes. The effectiveness of another homeopathic remedy, called Gripp-Heel, was compared with that of conventional treatments in a prospective, observational cohort study in 485 patients with mild viral infections and symptoms such as fever, headache, muscle pain, cough or sore throat.  As evaluated by the practitioners, 67.9% of patients were considered asymptomatic at the end of Gripp-Heel therapy vs. 47.9% of patients in the control group.

And do not forget about Oscillococcinum.  There have been FOUR large studies that have shown its efficacy in the treatment of influenza.

The Experience of Mexican Homeopaths in Treating People with Swine Flu…

To read a first-hand report by MD/homeopaths in Mexico City who have treating people with swine flu, click here. As yet, there is no one medicine that homeopathic physicians have determined to be the “remedy epidemicus.”  Instead, so far, they have found various medicines to be effective. They also noted that some of the most common homeopathic medicines that are known to have severe bleeding with flu symptoms are: Arnica montana, Arsenicum album, Baptisia, Belladonna, Bryonia alba, Camphora, Carbo vegetabilis, Chamomilla, Cinchona officinalis, Ferrum phosphoricum, Influenzinum (corresponding to the epidemic), Ipecacuanha, Lachesis, Mercurius vivus, Phosphorus, Sepia officinalis, Sulphur.

Evidence emerges that seasonal flu vaccine increases risk of H1N1 swine flu

via Evidence emerges that seasonal flu vaccine increases risk of H1N1 swine flu by Mike Adams the Health Ranger.

The best way to prevent flu is to stay healthy! Here are some specific guidelines to keep you and your family healthy this fall and winter:

-Eliminate all types of sugar (sucrose, fructose, honey, maple syrup, high fructose corn syrup, flours that are not 100% whole grain (i.e. enriched wheat flour, bleached flour, unbleached flour, etc)) from you diet. Sugar and flour actually weaken your immune system, leaving you susceptible to colds and flues.

-Exercise-It’s never too late to start! Talk to me regarding a specific plan for you.

-Rest-Make sure you are getting 7-9 hours of sleep a night. This is when your body makes repairs!

-Eat garlic regularly. Soup, Stir fried, roasted, swallowed raw, boiled in a tea. Garlic is one of the most antimicrobial and antiviral compounds out there.

-Get outside and get some sun- Your skin manufactures Vitamin D when exposed to sunlight. Having optimal blood levels of Vitamin D not only prevents cancer, diabetes, heart disease, and bone fracture, but in one study, also reduced the risk of flu by 77%! Get tested at home, without a doctor’s order, by visiting www.grassrootshealth.org.

-Don’t let stress become overwhelming. You must create some sort of ‘down time’ for yourself. This doesn’t mean watching TV! Mediate, journal, yoga, prayer, massage, exercise, laugh.

-Take Fish Oil-contains Omega 3s necessary for a properly functioning immune system.

-Elderberry Syrup- Elderberry is specifically beneficial for strengthening the immune system against viruses, which most flu’s and colds are. Look for a brand that is organically harvested or wild crafted and does not contain high fructose corn syrup or other artificial sweeteners.

-Influenzinum is a homeopathic (very dilute) preparation of the flu virus, taken preventatively, to stimulate your bodies immune system like a vaccination would, but without the side effects. In France, Doctors have found it to be much more effective than the flu vaccine.

Take Influenzinum as follows: Take five pellets under your tongue once a week for four weeks. For example, every Sunday, four weeks in a row. Wait one month, then take five more pellets under your tongue. If you hear of an outbreak in your area, you can take three pellets everyday until it passes.

-Oscillococcinum- As soon as you start feeling run-down or have other flu-like symptoms, take Oscillococcinum. Oscillo^® is regulated as a drug by the FDA and is supported by published clinical studies as well as more than 65 years of use throughout

the world. It has been shown to reduce the severity and duration of flu symptoms. Take as directed on package.

-Colostrum- Colostrum is an exceptional nutritional substance, the first ‘milk’ produced by mothers, that supports and nourishes the immune system. A study done in Italy two years ago showed that “colostrum is at least 3 times more effective than vaccination to prevent flu and very cost effective.”

Don’t forget, the best medicine is eating well. No supplement will take the place of a healthy diet, that’s why they are called “supplements” not “substitutes”.

Your diet should consist of mostly fresh vegetables, high quality meats (grass fed, pastured, free range only), fish, nuts, seeds, legumes, whole grains (in their whole form-ie, wheat berries and brown rice, not whole wheat flour and rice pasta), healthy oils (like extra virgin olive, hempseed or flax and from your food like avocado, walnuts, olives), and seasonal fruits.

Below are the package inserts for the new H1N1 vaccines, whose “safety studies” are largely based on the seasonal flu vaccines. Please read the inserts carefully. In recent news the CDC suggested that  all pregnant women and children get this vaccine

Here is a summary of the H1N1 and seasonal vaccines according to the package inserts:

a.. The vaccines have not been tested for safety or effectiveness in pregnant women or nursing mothers (even though pregnant women are a priority target group for this vaccine. As stated: “It is not known whether these vaccines can cause fetal harm when administered to a pregnant woman or can affect reproductive capability. It is not known whether the H1N1 vaccine is excreted in human milk.”

b.. The vaccines have not been tested for mutagenic or carcinogenic potential.

c.. The multi-dose vaccines (Sanofi Pasteur) contain a full dose (25 mcg) of thimerosal/mercury (known neurotoxin).

d.. Other ingredients include: formaldehyde (carcinogen); hemagglutinin (glycoprotein that causes red blood cells to agglutinate/clump and attach to the respiratory tract to cause infection); gelatin (known allergen); polyethylene glycol p-isoctylphenyl ether (strong detergent).

e.. “Safety studies” of Fluzone/H1N1 vaccine included 19 CHILDREN (6-23 months) and 12 children (24-36 months) for 3 days.

f.. Some of the reported adverse events/side effects of the vaccines include: Thrombocytopenia (spontaneous bleeding); anaphylaxis (life threatening allergic reaction); lymphadenopathy (diseased lymph nodes); Guillain-Barre (paralysis); Bells Palsy (facial paralysis); convulsions; encephalomytis (brain inflammation/damage); optic neuropathy (optic nerve damage); syncope (loss of consciousness); Stevens Johnson Syndrome, vasculitis (inflammatory destruction of blood vessels).

g.. Warnings included in package insert: “The 1976 swine influenza vaccine was associated with an increased frequency of Guillain Barre Syndrome. Evidence for a causal relation with subsequent vaccines prepared from other influenza viruses is unclear.” Also…”Appropriate medical treatment and supervision must be available to manage possible anaphylactic reactions following administration of this vaccine.”

Here are the package inserts for both the injectable and intranasal H1N1 vaccines.
