H1N1 Vaccine - Educate Before You Vaccinate

Just so everyone here doesn't think I am being to one sided, here's a medical doctor (Dr. Kent Holtorf) that was on FoxNews and he was basically saying, I would not give this H1N1 Vaccine (Swine Flu Vaccine) to his own children. That is a very powerful statement coming from a medical doctor especially on FoxNews.

On the following site, there were some tidbits of information about the H1N1 vaccine that are very informative and people need to be fully informed before taking this vaccine. The source for this information is http://archive.constantcontact.com/fs001/1101240076659/archive/1102743507000.html

Since I do not know if this information will remain up there or how hard it will be to find, I am sharing some of it on this blog as it is too important to let it go unseen. Please read my previous blog post Swine Flu Paranoia if you want to know where I stand on these things.

Here is the YouTube video of the Fox News Program with Dr. Kent Holtorf (Please note, I am not endorsing Fox News or these medical doctors, only sharing with you what I found online. Please evaluate all facts necessary and seek appropriate advice before making any medical decisions about your own life). I am not familiar with these medical professionals that are being intereviewed and quoted in this blog post so please do your own research to determine who they are and any conflicts of interest they may have.

Dr. Mayer Eisenstein's Comments (from the website referenced above)

Here Is the Core of My Concern:

There is no convincing scientific evidence that mass inoculations can be credited with eliminating any childhood disease. . . .

It is commonly believed that the Salk vaccine was responsible for halting the polio epidemics that plagued American children in the 1940's and 1950's. If so, why did the epidemics also end in Europe, where polio vaccine was not so extensively used? . . . .

1. There are significant risks associated with every vaccination and numerous contraindications that may make it dangerous for the shots to be given to your child. . . .

2. While the myriad short-term hazards of most vaccinations are known (but rarely explained), no one knows the long-term consequences of injecting foreign proteins into the body of your child. Even more shocking is the fact that no one is making any structured effort to find out.

3. There is a growing suspicion that vaccination against relatively harmless childhood diseases may be responsible for the dramatic increase in autoimmune diseases since the introduction of mass inoculations. These are life altering diseases such as cancer, leukemia, rheumatoid arthritis, multiple sclerosis, asthma, autism.

4. Vaccines contain many ingredients of which the public is not aware. These are just some of the ingredients used in production of vaccines:
* Ethylene glycol - antifreeze
* Phenol - also known as carbolic acid. This is used as a disinfectant, dye.
* Formaldehyde - a known cancer causing agent
*Aluminum - is associated with Alzheimer's disease and seizures, also cancer producing in laboratory mice. It is used as an additive to promote antibody response.
* Thimerosal - a mercury disinfectant/ preservative. It can result in brain injury and autoimmune disease.
* Neomycin, Streptomycin - antibiotics which have caused allergic reactions in some people.

5. These vaccines are also grown on and strained thru animal or human tissue such as monkey kidney tissue, chicken embryo, embryonic guinea pig cells, calf serum, human diploid cells (the dissected organs of aborted fetuses as in the case of rubella, hepatitis A, and chicken pox vaccines).

6. The problem with using animal cells is that during serial passage of the virus thru the animal cells, animal RNA and DNA can be transferred from one host to another. Undetected animal viruses may slip past quality control testing procedures, as happened during the years 1955 thru 1961. The polio vaccine, which was grown on the kidney of the African Green monkey (simian), was contaminated with SV40 (simian virus #40 - the 40th discovered) which differs from the prior 39 because it has oncogenic (cancer causing) properties. What other viruses could be slipping by from animal tissue, administered through vaccinations, that we don't know of?

Charting The Course Of Life

When you are met with resistance at every turn in your life and in many of life's daily events, than one must scratch their head, evaluate and see if a new course needs to be charted. - Don Shetterly

Mistakes

Mistakes are something that I've always been pretty hard on myself throughout my entire life. There are plenty of reasons as I'm sure many others out there would attest to as well. I could delve into the details of all of these, but it most likely would not further this particular discussion. Of course, it is important to note that I am not saying you should not travel into these areas of your life. On the contrary, I feel it is important to go in and reclaim these misfires of communication in your mind that distort mistakes. Once you do, you offer your brain a different path to travel when these circumstances come up.

I am very creative but as I create, I get very critical of myself. This is especially true when it comes to creating music. Most of the music I play is songs that I create in the moment. They are not repeated from anyone or anything but totally what happens at the moment my hands rest on the keyboard. If you had the opportunity to be around me when I am creating, you would more than likely hear me say at some point as I was listening to a playback of the song, "there was a mistake". To the average person or even the talented musician, they would not hear the mistake. That is because what I call a mistake is how what I am hearing playback to me is not how my mind heard the music come together. And yet, I am realizing now that those little moments that I call mistakes have led to some wonderful moments in the songs I have created. It has given them a depth and dimension all to their own that without these "mistakes", they would not be all that they are.

One of my favorite authors, Ellen Langer in the book "On Becoming An Artist" writes about mistakes in the following quote on page 81

If we know just where we are going we can’t go anywhere new. Mistakes not only set the stage for a mindful approach to the work at hand but also reveal our individuality. When we all act according to the same plan, our final products are likely to look the same, just as machine-made rugs do. Our “errors,” by contrast, stand a chance to be both unique and interesting. The difference between a line drawn with a ruler and one drawn by hand is that, in the latter, the individual shines through.

So if we feel we really have to embrace that we make mistakes in life, why not try turning the tables on the thought process for a moment. If we see mistakes as an opportunity towards greater awareness or insight, than the person who makes many mistakes, has so many opportunities in life. Just imagine having all those opportunities.

Of course if we take the mindful approach to what we consider mistakes, than all that you are and all the potential you have, has the opportunity to shine as bright as the brightest star.
