The World Through a Needle
The World Through A Needle

“Diet, injections, & injunctions will combine, from a very early age, to produce the sort of character and the sort of beliefs that the authorities consider desirable, & any serious criticism of the powers that be will become psychologically impossible.”: Bertrand Russell from his book “The Impact of Science on Society” (1953) page 50.
The other day I had a client in my office and we were talking about general health issues and she told me the very tragic story about her friend’s father who died, from a fast acting cancer, directly after being given a vaccination by his doctor. I will spare you the details, yet so that no unnecessary death need be in vain I would like to present you with the results of some interesting research related to this topic.
About four years ago I began to collect vaccine related research which I will in due course present to you. But first I would like to engage you with a little psychology:
Step 1: Imagine holding a tennis ball
Step 2: Imagine holding a football
Step 3: Imagine holding a basketball
Step 4: Imagine holding a beach ball or one of those large exercise balls
Step 5: Now, Imagine holding the world … I imagine that this is not possible.
This is how ideas deep inside our mind work. Some concepts are simple and easily held, while others are just too large for our minds to hold onto and so we don’t even try. Along with very misunderstood sociological elements such as cognitive and confirmation bias or plausible deniability there is a tendency to too often suspend disbelief rather than face reality.
I know that I am going to be attacked through logical fallacy for writing this but there comes a time when silence on issues of importance is by far the greatest crime within society. Who can deny, that age old wisdom found in so many ancient cultures that ‘We perish for lack of knowledge’. Anyway, this article is not about a belief, or an emotional status, but is an appeal to reason, and a last call.
Where there is a certain amount of truth in the principle that an adult individual who is going to dramatically change his surroundings, and enter a new environment with a wide range of differing environmental factors such as: alternative food or diet, water purity, air condition, unusual climate with changes in light and humidity, new social habits, geographical location, stress and perhaps other hygiene issues, could benefit from a vaccine. There are, so far, no long term studies of any health benefits that exist on the application of this theory to young children.
In case you are unaware of this issue we will now examine the evidence. The following links contain 3 types of information … Professional Scientific Studies, Personal Accounts and Verified Associated Press Articles. Altogether I estimate there are around 5000 pieces of evidence here to support a conclusion that vaccines are responsible for the perfect crime.

And that is that as they say.
So now that the evidence has been presented here are a final few thoughts.
I am not a doctor and I have not attended medical school but I am able to read, to use discernment to find a reliable source of information, and to defend my position in a logical argument. I defer judgment on what is right for each individual to that sovereign individual, as all should do but so few have learned. With this in mind, I urge you to educate yourself about the pros and cons of this issue before you take any further step in an irreversible direction.
In conclusion, I would like to advise you to beware of anyone who you do not know, and who does not know you, who will enter into your would offering you the solutions to problems that you do not even know exist. Of course, you are very welcome to include myself in this list.
Respect with consideration to the law of necessity,

In 1988, Dietrich used MRI to show that developmentally delayed children had alterations in their myelin. Coulter described that central nervous system damage can be exhibited as abnormal behavior of the child. In 1935, Thomas Rivers, experimental allergic encephalitis (EAE) can be the result of a viral or bacterial infection of the nervous system. "The fact of the matter is that it is a matter of record that it was known that vaccination produced encephalitis since 1926." The authors stated, "In regions in which there is no organized vaccination of the population, general paralysis is rare. ... It is impossible to deny a connection between vaccinations and the encephalitis (brain damage) which follows it." Vaccines have been linked to seizures, convulsions and epilepsy.

The Problem with Vaccines
Mercury poisoning+autism anything in common?
(CDC) recommends that children in the U.S. now receive up to 51 injected vaccines by the age of 7 months, 73 by 18 months, and 95 by 4-6 years. (4) The general public is unaware of these numbers because some of these injections combine up to eight vaccines in one “shot”, obscuring the fact that there are such a large number of actual vaccines.
Thanks to http://www.autismtruth.org for this info;
These multiple doses are some of the most dangerous. Up until 1999, children were receiving, via vaccinations, more than 100 times the amount of mercury that EPA would consider “a level not likely to cause harm”. (It never says “safe”.) The EPA’s guidelines pertain to methyl-mercury that is less toxic than the ethyl-mercury in vaccines. (5) Ethyl-mercury is preferentially taken up by the brain. Though the levels of mercury have been reduced, it still remains in many vaccines and no agency has established that the current levels are safe. The industry claims it is filtering mercury out of some vaccines, but according to Dr. Boyd Haley, the nation’s leading thimerosal expert, thimerosal breaks down into ethyl-mercury which binds to the antigenic proteins in the vaccine vial and is, therefore, impossible to remove.
This is mercury, a known neurotoxin and the second most toxic substance on earth after plutonium. The material safety data sheet (MSDS) for thimerosal says: DANGER! POISON! MAY BE FATAL IF INHALED ABSORBED THROUGH SKIN OR SWALLOWED… MAY CAUSE DAMAGE TO CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM. Anyone reporting on autism should first read the thimerosal MSDS. (6)
Autism is not a “disease”, as you claimed. It is primarily MERCURY POISONING. (7) Look at these charts and see for yourself.

Your so called “expert”, Dr. Paul Offit, holds a rotavirus vaccine patent and was part of the team that mandated a harmful rotavirus vaccine that was taken off the market after it had damaged children, not before, even though the approving committee had information in prelicensure trials that it caused painful bowel obstructions, sometimes requiring surgery to remove portions of the intestines. He received $350,000 grant money from Merck to develop that vaccine, is a member of the CDC Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) and “…is paid by the pharmaceutical industry to travel around the country teaching doctors that vaccines are safe.” (8)
Those of us who question. and even forego, vaccinations were not surprised when the former editor of the New England Journal of Medicine, Dr. Marcia Angell, revealed that studies in all medical journals are tainted with conflicts of interest. (9) Two years later, in June 2002, the NEJM announced that it would now openly accept biased authors because it is too difficult to find ones who have no ties. Did you first check to see if the 900 studies and more than 4,000 pro-vaccine articles that you touted could be biased due to conflicts of interest? (10)
You abrogated any semblance of fairness by not facing your chosen “expert” with an independent scientist who has found unfavorable vaccination outcomes. There are numerous studies by independent researchers linking vaccines to autism and other neurological disorders (11) such as ADD, ADHD, MS and Alzheimer’s, as well as many auto-immune diseases and other serious maladies. (12) You could have interviewed obstetrical geneticist Dr. Mark Geier regarding his study showing an increased risk of autism after repeated administration of mercury-containing vaccines. (13) You could have featured the nation’s leading expert on thimerosal and mercury poisoning, Boyd Haley, Ph.D., Chair of the Chemistry Dept. at the University of Kentucky. (14) Dr. Vijendra K. Singh reported on the relationship between autism, vaccines and immune reactions. (15) Neurosurgeon David Baskin, M.D., of Baylor College of Medicine, authored “Toxicity of Thimerosal”. (16) Dr. Mady Hornig of Columbia University published a study demonstrating that thimerosal induces autism-like symptoms in susceptible mice. (17) Researchers at the University of Calgary have visually demonstrated that mercury kills brain neurons. (18) You could have invited Neurosurgeon Russell Blaylock, M.D., an excellent source with broad knowledge of how vaccines thwart the immune system, causing brain damage, autism and other disorders. (12)
Instead, you spoke of only one scientist out of the many who have linked vaccines to harm, making untruthful and inflammatory accusations about him without allowing him to defend himself or correct your falsehoods. Dr. Andrew Wakefield did not “urge” parents not to vaccinate their children, nor did he receive funds from lawyers for the Lancet study as you stated. What he did that was so offensive to vaccine proponents was to indirectly threaten their profits by finding a possible link between the MMR vaccine and autism. Other researchers are finding the same thing Dr. Wakefield found: vaccine-strain measles virus in the guts of autistic children. Dr. J. J. Bradstreet and others detected measles virus genomic RNA in the cerebrospinal fluid of children with regressive autism who had received the MMR vaccine. (19) Drs. Yazbak and Goldman found that autism in Denmark increased after 1987 when MMR vaccination was introduced. This finding refutes the industry touted study by Madsen and Associates which was co-funded by the CDC, that bastion of impartiality, as we shall see. (20)
Your claim was correct in that “many anti-vaccine parents believe the medical establishment, in collusion with the government and vaccine-makers, is hiding these dangers from the public”. For example, most are all too aware of what took place at a secret conference at Simpsonwood Retreat Center in Norcross, Georgia on June 7-8, 2000, when the CDC gathered 51 scientists, physicians and representatives of 5 vaccine manufacturers to discuss vaccine policies. In regard to vaccine dangers, immunologist and pediatrician Dr. Dick Johnson expressed concern for his grandchild, “…I do not want that grandson to get a Thimerosal containing vaccine until we know better what is going on. It will probably take a long time. In the meantime, and I know there are probably implications for this internationally, but in the meanwhile I think I want that grandson to only be given Thimerosal-free vaccines.” So here was a scientist sitting on this panel, making policy concerning all children in the U.S. and other countries, protecting his new grandson, but not concerned enough about our children to stop this insanity. They all remained silent and allowed a cover-up. The CDC, the AMA, the American Academy of Pediatrics, the American Academy of Family Practice, and every other compromised organization endorsed thimerosal-containing vaccines and proclaimed them to be safe. (21) (22) (23) (24)
Yet, in light of all that is known, six months old infants are now mandated to receive flu vaccine, most of which contains mercury! (25) (26) Because there is currently not enough so-called “mercury free” flu vaccine for everyone in the US, most babies will get up to 12.5 micrograms (mcg) of mercury in each shot. According to EPA guidelines, an infant would have to weigh 275.5 lbs. to ingest that amount of mercury at a “level not likely to cause harm”. (27) There are no guidelines for the insane practice of injecting mercury into human flesh, which then crosses the blood-brain barrier. These innocent babies will then be injected with another 12.5 mcg dose of mercury four weeks later. How many of them will join the multitudes of vaccine-brain-damaged children already among us?
Did you get a flu shot? According to distinguished virologist and former Chief Vaccine Control Officer at the FDA, Dr. J. Anthony Morris, “There is no evidence that any influenza vaccine thus far developed is effective in preventing or mitigating any attack of influenza. The producers of these vaccines know they are worthless, but go on selling them anyway.” Up to 25 mcg of mercury are in most flu vaccines being injected into adults, requiring them to weigh 551 lbs. by EPA’s ingestion standards. How about getting the vaccine that is sprayed up your nose? It contains live viruses which can be shed for up to 21 days, infecting those who come within close proximity of the vaccinated individuals. (28)
A recent study, by the world renowned immunologist Dr. H. Hugh Fudenberg, found that adults vaccinated with the flu vaccine 4 to 5 times within 5 years had a 10-fold increased risk of developing Alzheimer’s disease. He attributes this to the mercury and aluminum in the vaccine. (29) Government agencies such as the CDC, are little more than mouthpieces and revolving doors for pharmaceutical companies, encouraging the use of flu vaccines, and all other vaccines, through statistical lies and fear mongering. (30) (31)
Historical records show that all communicable diseases were in marked decline before mass vaccination programs began due to better hygiene and sanitation. (32) For example, whatever happened to scarlet fever? There has never been a vaccination for it. Have you not wondered how the human race survived before vaccinations? But, you might then say, “What about polio, smallpox and influenza epidemics?” Glad you asked; please learn the truth. (33) Historical old medical books have data that the vaccine industry prefers we didn’t know. (34)
There are many other toxins in vaccines besides mercury, including aluminum (enhances the toxicity of mercury), formaldehyde, beta-propiolactone (known to cause cancer) (35) , phenoxyethanol (used as anti-freeze), ammonium sulfate, monosodium glutamate, and many more, as well as animal cells and human diploid cells from aborted fetal tissue. (36) There are concerns that a reduction in mercury may be replaced by an increase in aluminum and other toxic adjuvants deemed necessary by the manufacturers to provoke an immune response, however skewed. There are more than 200 vaccines in the pipeline. Will people someday in the future believe they could not have lived without them? Or will the increasing neurological damage, autoimmune disorders, sterility, and genetic mutations caused by an ever-increasing vaccine schedule, have taken its toll?
Vaccinations force diseases to mutate, such as whooping cough. There are outbreaks not because of lower vaccination rates but because the vaccines don’t work. Contrary to popular belief, vaccines are incredibly ineffective. For example, in a 1997 outbreak in Idaho, 91.6% of confirmed pertussis cases had been fully vaccinated with 3 or more doses, and 6.8% had received 1-2 doses. Only one case was confirmed in an unvaccinated, but eligible by age to be vaccinated, person. The CDC’s own conclusion stated that “the myth of vaccine refusal played no role in this outbreak”. (37) In a December 7, 2003 article, James Howenstine, M.D., board certified specialist in internal medicine, stated, “In 1986 there were 1,300 cases of pertussis in Kansas, and 90% of these cases occurred in children who had been adequately vaccinated.” A report from the Madigan Army Medical Center in Ft. Lewis, WA in the September 1997 issue of “American Family Physician”, said, “Outbreaks of the disease are now occurring every three to four years in highly immunized populations throughout the U.S. …despite widespread vaccination …pertussis vaccine provides only transient protection.” The notion that only unvaccinated children are spreading disease is a scare tactic, with no basis in science. You said the outbreak in New York was “traced to a local school with unvaccinated children”, giving people the false idea that those children spread the disease. Shame on you.
The reports of outbreaks of childhood diseases are always accompanied by alarmist directives to have our children vaccinated, but the media never gives statistics on how many among the outbreak have already been vaccinated. If vaccines worked, why do our children have to be vaccinated to protect the vaccinated? Please ponder that question. Feel kind of silly for falling for it? (38) The truth is, vaccines cause disease. Unvaccinated children are healthier than vaccinated children. (39) Could that be why the vaccine industry, which controls the funding of studies, has NEVER funded a study comparing the vaccinated to the unvaccinated? (40)
There is overwhelming evidence that a healthy immune system can meet and even benefit from the challenges of childhood diseases. (41) But it is much less profitable for the medical industry to encourage breast feeding and proper nutrition than it is to push vaccines that irreparably damage the immune system, causing humoral immunity instead of cell-mediated immunity. This imbalance leads to autoimmune disorders and is well known in immunology today. (12) In this Faustian bargain, the health industry profits by selling vaccines, damages the health of generations, then sells the multitudes of victims lots of drugs to treat the damage.
We insist that you thoroughly educate yourselves about these life and death issues. We have done our homework. Now please do yours. There are hundreds of thousands of vaccine damaged and dead children and adults as a direct result of the vaccine industry, an annual multi-billion dollar business. Learn the facts and report THE TRUTH for the sake of these victims and the people you have misled, the potential victims.
In closing, consider this: A 1997 survey revealed that only 30 percent of doctors, nurses and attendants annually get flu shots. (42) On Oct. 1, 2004, the Washington State Association of Nurses brought suit in federal court to stop a policy requiring them to receive flu vaccinations. So why is it so hard for health professionals to publicly admit the damage caused by vaccines?
“It is difficult to get a man to understand something when his salary depends upon his not understanding it.” (Upton Sinclair)
CBS, Dan Rather and all who are involved, are you going to continue failing to understand? Vaccinations are the exact opposite of a panacea. It took 200 years for people to stop believing in a flat earth; physicians scoffed about the idea that washing their hands could affect surgical outcomes; it took centuries to abandon blood letting. What are today’s fallacies? Please do not be a flat earth proponent; do not help to spread disease; do not help to spill blood. Instead, be among the first to help stop the carnage. Please.

FOREWORD
WHY: Robin was having the same problems that many beginning dowsers have, trouble with accuracy and repeatability. She wisely wrote to the American Society of Dowsers asking for help. The Society sent her the names of ten Dowsers and I was privileged to be one of them. Robin sent a letter to each one and received informative letters from all of us. I had recognized the need for a booklet of this type for some time, but it was this letter that inspired me to start developing it. In an effort to make the booklet as clear as possible and with the suggestions from many dowsers, it is now in its tenth revision.
SOURCE OF INFORMATION: Over a period of ten years, starting in 1980, 1 had developed a “Multipurpose Dowsing Form” and its accompanying booklet. This dowsing system started as one page and eventually grew through twenty-six revisions to eight pages. The revisions were given away at many dowsing meetings. As a result, I received information and suggestions from many dowsers. This stimulated new revisions. Eventually, the Multipurpose Dowsing System became so in-depth that beginning dowsers had trouble understanding it. It was then that I realized the need for a simple, easy to understand, how to learn to dowse booklet. This booklet needed to include instructions for using the pendulum, programming or establishing parameters and conditions for your dowsing, and how to ask the dowsing questions. Even though dowsers successfully use many different devices and many different methods, there appeared to be an underlying basic system at work. This letter to Robin is based on my perception of the principles, knowledge and understanding of many dowsers. Please note that skilled dowsers usually specialize and may add many refinements to their basic systems.
FOR WHOM: This Mini-Course in Pendulum Dowsing was designed as a learning tool for beginners. It could be used for a class or for discussion by experienced dowsers for it contains bits of information that even the most skilled dowsers may appreciate.
HOW TO USE: You can easily familiarize yourself with the whole booklet in twenty to thirty minutes and this is a good way to start. The beginner should return to page 2 and take one step at a time. Each step is explained in simple, easy to understand terms. You will be surprised how quickly you can learn to dowse.
Adverse effects of Radiation use homeopathy
Homeopathy and Radiotherapy
by Mary Aspinwall Posted on her blog at homeopathyworld.com
Homeopathy can ease discomfort during radiation therapy.
Homeopathic remedies are very gentle and do not interfere with chemotherapy or radiotherapy. They are a perfect choice for those who are seeking an alternative to conventional “comfort medications.”
Success depends on individualizing and it’s vital to:
Match the symptoms carefully to the best homeopathic medicine you can find
Take one pill of 30c potency
If you feel better don’t repeat unless the same symptoms return
Calendula 30c*, known for its ability to heal abrasions and wounds of the most superficial layers of the skin, is sold in topical ointments as well as pills. The pills can either be taken internally and/or dissolved in water and applied to a dressing for the wound.
Urtica urens 30c is ideal for superficial, first-degree burns that sting and/or itch. The area feels worse from heat and after bathing. It can also be taken internally or applied topically in the same way as Calendula (see above).
Cantharis 30c* Burns that respond to Cantharis are of medium severity and may blister. They are raw and sore and feel better with a cold compress. The pains that respond to Cantharis are described as cutting, smarting, and burning.
Causticum 30c Known as a remedy for serious second- and third-degree burns, Causticum addresses the deeper layers of the skin. Burns that do not heal in a timely manner, or that are accompanied by symptoms throughout the body, may respond to Causticum. The burns may itch, crack, or ulcerate. The person feels better in warmth and worse from cold and wind, and the burn is likely to feel better when it is covered.
Hypericum 30c * The primary remedy for damage to nerves, Hypericum can ease side effects of radiation when they include shooting pains.
Radium bromatum 30c This is the most specific remedy for radiation burns. The remedy is in a micro dose making it safe to use. The skin may itch and burn; there may be swelling and even ulceration. If there is a systemic reaction, it is likely to include aching pains all over the body,with a sensation of heat. The person feels better from cool open air.
Remember an important aspect of Homeopathy is to switch to a different remedy if the symptoms change, to ensure the remedy continues to be a good match.
Autism-homeopathy-CEASE therapy a mothers story
written by Nicolette on her blog momnivores-dilemma dot com
Autism is big business. Whether it’s the $160/hr for therapy, the countless vitamins, minerals, enzymes, or the out-of-pocket lab tests and doc visits, we’ve done it all in the past three years for Moose. I have the credit card bill to prove it.
Despite all the inteventions, energy, and time, something still nagged at me.
I knew Moose’s healing required something deeper. I found myself lagging on supplements and lab tests late this past spring. Something seemed off. Like we were close to an answer, but I couldn’t quite make it out.
Homeopathy was mentioned to me in whispers, but it always seemed in the periphery. Something that I’d think about later.
After reading two books, The Impossible Cure and CEASE Therapy, the direction we would take next became clear.
I didn’t feel ready to discuss homeopathy on this blog, until I tried it myself for my own health issues, and had Moose on the protocol for a few months.
My God, the changes since we began homeopathy in June, have been nothing sort of a miracle.
For me {I’ll write about that soon}, and for Moose.
For years, we struggled with diarrhea, since his 2nd birthday. We’ve visited every specialist and doctor imaginable. Within weeks of starting homeopathy, said diarrhea is GONE.
Comorbid with the bowel issues, Moose had major trouble falling asleep at night: running, jumping, and yelping for up to two hours after lights went out. After our current clearing hit the second week {which is homeopathic terminology for treatment}, the errratic nighttime behaviors have left the estate, people.
The kid is in his bed, usually asleep within 15 minutes.
That alone, is a testament, to homeopathy.
Again, this is NOT a coincidence.
Coupled with this, is the ability to follow directions again, just like when he was before he developed autism. When I tell him to get his shoes, place his dish in the sink, come in and eat…he listens.
Again, this is NOT a coincidence.
Homeopathy is not widely known in the U.S., but has been used for over 200 years throughout Europe. Rather than suppressing symptoms like pharmaceuticals, it heals the body gently while addressing the underlying cause.
Imagine, if you will, doctors finding the cause of what ails you, rather than piling on the band-aids.
For the past three years, I’ve had this mantra in my head, “The Cure is in The Cause”.
Now, to address the many causes…
Homeopathy has taught me that it wasn’t one shot that led Moose to autism: it’s a multifaceted assault that began long before his birth: with my health: all of my migraine medications, my pharmaceutical history. What happened at his birth, with a heavily medicated C-section delivery. Then the chronic ear infections. The excessive vaccines. Living in polluted Chicago. The inflammatory American diet. The incessant antibiotics. The copious amounts of Baby Motrin and Tylenol. Even, the emotional impact of my father’s death when he was a newborn contributed to his autism. Emotional, physical, environmental, pharmaceutical, and mental stressors all matter.
This is precisely why, “a cure” for autism can’t be found. There are too many causes. All autisms are different, because all of our medical and family histories are different. Treatment needs to be tailored to the individual.
By age 2, the cup runneth over, so to speak, and Moose lost skills, language, and the ability to point and wave.
Now, at age 5, the Moose is on his way back. He’s made more progress on four months of homeopathy than he did on three years of pricey supplements and the DAN! {Defeat Autism Now}route.
Our homeopath, Lora Roberts, is one of the few homeopaths in the U.S. who is trained in a special homeopathy for autism known as CEASE therapy. She has been the most intuituve practioner I’ve encountered on our autism journey. We’re blessed to have her on Team Moose.(more CEASE practicioners at http://www.CEASE-autism.com)
Many families have seen progress and recovery with the DAN! route.
Our story is different.
And I know, in the deepest parts of my being, that finally, there will be a happy ending.

Vaccines do not cause autism,or do they? Here are the links…….
How often do we hear people including medical doctors say, “Vaccines do NOT cause autism”? The DTaP vaccine package insert from the Sanofi Pasteur pharmaceutical company, visibly displayed on a government website, lists on page 11 the following adverse events reported because of this vaccine:
“Adverse events reported during post-approval use of Tripedia vaccine include idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura, SIDS, anaphylactic reaction, cellulitis, AUTISM…”.To view the actual package insert and the rest of the listed side effects, see: http://www.fda.gov/downloads/BiologicsBloodVaccines/Vaccines/ApprovedProducts/ucm101580.pdf
“Because these events are reported voluntarily from a population of uncertain size, it is not always possible to reliably estimate their frequencies or to establish a causal relationship to components of Tripedia vaccine.” This means that we cannot get a reliable estimate on how often the listed above adverse events occur.
What else can vaccine package inserts tell us? Find out the information on each vaccine package insert at the links listed for each one below.

Polio What you might not know about the true facts……
The polio death rate was decreasing on its own before the vaccine was introduced, and there is no credible scientific evidence that the vaccine caused polio to disappear. Cases of polio increased after mass inoculations.
The United States Centre for Disease Control (CDC) admitted that the vaccine has become the dominant cause of polio in the US today, with 87% of cases between 1973 and 1983 caused by the vaccine. More recently, 1980-1989, every case of polio in the US was caused by the vaccine. Doctors and scientists on the staff of the National Institute of Health during the 1950′s were well aware that the Salk vaccine was ineffective and deadly. Some frankly stated that it was “worthless as a preventative and dangerous to take”. The Salk “inactivated” or “killed-virus” was actually regulated to permit 5,000 live viruses per million doses.
A large vaccine trial in 1955 showed a total failure of the Salk vaccine to protect against poliomyelitis. During a 1959 epidemic in Massachusetts, 77.5% of the paralytic cases had received three or more doses of the inactivated vaccine.
In 1956 with the infamous Francis Field Trials they discovered large numbers of children contracted polio after receiving the vaccine. Instead of removing the vaccine from the market, they decided to exclude from the statistics all cases of polio that occurred within 30 days after vaccination on the pretext that such cases were “pre-existing”.
In 1958 mass vaccination triggered a disastrous increase in polio, the highest being 700% in Ottawa, Canada. The highest incidence in the USA occurred in those states which had been induced to adopt compulsory polio shots(1).
Four of the five Salk vaccine companies ceased producing this vaccine due to its failure, and because of the lawsuits against them.
“Use of either Salk or Sabin vaccine will increase the possibility that your child will contact the disease. It appears that the most effective way to protect your child from polio is to make sure that he doesn’t get the vaccine “—Dr Mendelsohn M.D.(1984).
Where polio vaccination programs have been instituted worldwide, reported polio infections show a 700% increase as a result of compulsory vaccination.
POLIO DEFINITION FRAUD:
Statistics on polio were manipulated. One such way was to redefine the disease, renaming it “viral or aseptic meningitis” or “cocksackie virus”. In one US county, for example, in July 1955 there were 273 cases of polio reported for 50 cases of asceptic meningitis, compared to 5 cases of polio in 1966 and 256 cases of aseptic meningitis. These new diagnostic guideline’s were issued by the CDC. If you object to polio vaccination, and you get polio–it is usually called “polio.” If you have been vaccinated and you get “polio”, it is called meningitis(2).
Coxsackievirus and echoviruses can cause paralytic syndromes that are clinically indistinguishable from paralytic poliomyelitis. (John H. Menkes, Textbook Of Child Neurology, 5th ed., page 420) http://www3.bcity.com/harpub/
“Dr. Thomas Francis did not mention in his key evaluation of the 1954 Salk field trials that those who contracted polio after their first innoculation and before their second inoculation were placed in the “not-inoculated” list.’ (Maurice B. Bayly, The Story Of The Salk Anti-poliomyelitis Vaccine, 1956).
Dr. Buchwald responds that prior to the introduction of polio vaccinations in Germany, anyone was counted as having polio, even if they only had the virus in their feces. It is known, he goes on, that there are people who are healthy but who evacuate polio viruses when they go to the bathroom. Based on this criteria, the number of cases was approximately 4,000 per year. After the introduction of the vaccine, statistics included only those polio cases of people who were paralyzed for at least six weeks.–Testimony of Dr Buchwald MD
A former public health officer, Dr Ratner, reported that just before the introduction of the first polio vaccine the National Foundation For Infant Paralysis was paying physicians $25 for each reported diagnosis. “A patient would walk into a doctors office with a limp from an accident. He’d say he had a fever a few days ago…and guess what the diagnosis would be?” It was well known Paralytic polio cured itself 50% of the time within 60 days. After the Salk vaccine was introduced, the definition of polio was changed by the CDC. Now, in order to have paralytic polio, you had to have it longer than 60 days(16).
Because the Salk vaccine was promoted as being incapable of causing polio, cases that occurred following administration of the vaccine were denied, and excluded from the Vaccine injury table(4)
Many doctors refuse to report vaccine reaction, and I worked out that of over 200 families of vaccine damaged children contacting JABS, the support group, only about 3% had been reported damaged by their doctor. In the USA the FDA admits that 90% of vaccine damage cases go unreported(4).
Dr. Bernard Greenberg, a biostatistics expert, was chairman of the Committee on Evaluation and Standards of the American Public Health Association during the 1950s. He testified at a panel discussion that was used as evidence for the congressional hearings on polio vaccine in 1962. During these hearings he elaborated on the problems associated with polio statistics and disputed claims for the vaccine’s effectiveness. He attributed the dramatic decline in polio cases to a change in reporting practices by physicians. Less cases were identified as polio after the vaccination for very specific reasons. “Prior to 1954 any physician who reported paralytic poliomyelitis was doing his patient a service by way of subsidizing the cost of hospitalization and was being community-minded in reporting a communicable disease. The criterion of diagnosis at that time in most health departments followed the World Health Organization definition: “Spinal paralytic poliomyelitis: signs and symptoms of nonparalytic poliomyelitis with the addition of partial or complete paralysis of one or more muscle groups, detected on two examinations at least 24 hours apart.” Note that “two examinations at least 24 hours apart” was all that was required. Laboratory confirmation and presence of residual paralysis was not required. In 1955 the criteria were changed to conform more closely to the definition used in the 1954 field trials: residual paralysis was determined 10 to 20 days after onset of illness and again 50 to 70 days after onset…. This change in definition meant that in 1955 we started reporting a new disease, namely, paralytic poliomyelitis with a longer-lasting paralysis. Furthermore, diagnostic procedures have continued to be refined. Coxsackie virus infections and aseptic meningitis have been distinguished from paralytic poliomyelitis. Prior to 1954 large numbers of these cases undoubtedly were mislabeled as paralytic poliomyelitis. Thus, simply by changes in diagnostic criteria, the number of paralytic cases was predetermined to decrease in 1955-1957, whether or not any vaccine was used.
“Official data shows that large scale vaccination has failed to obtain any significant improvement of the diseases against which they were supposed to provide protection”—Dr Sabin, developer of Polio vaccine.
Health officials convinced the Chinese to rename the bulk of their polio to Guillaine Barre Syndrome (GBS). A study found that the new disorder (Chinese Paralytic syndrome) and the GBS was really polio (41). After mass vaccination in 1971, reports of polio went down but GBS increased about 10 fold.
“In the WHO polio vaccine eradication in the Americas, there were 930 cases of paralytic disease—all called polio. Five years later, at the end of the campaign, roughly 2000 cases of paralytic disease occurred—but only 6 of them were called polio (41). The rate of paralytic disease doubled, but the disease definition changed so drastically that hardly any of it was called polio any more.”—Greg Beattie
“They started vaccinating in 1985 (in the Americas). Within 4 months they had 350 cases…They caused a substantial, huge outbreak of polio but they started ‘discarding’ most of the cases (put as flaccid paralysis).”—Viera Scheibner (42).

POLIO VACCINE CONTAMINATION: AIDS, CANCER, GUILLAIN-BARRE SYNDROME & LEUKEMIA
“All vaccination has the effect of directing the three values of the blood into or toward the zone characteristics of cancer and leukaemia…Vaccines do predispose to cancer and leukaemia.” Professor L. Vincent – founder of Bioelectronics
During the 1950′s and 60′s millions of people were contaminated with a cancer-causing monkey viruses called SV1 to SV40 (simian virus) from the polio vaccines due to using kidneys from the Rhesus macaques monkey to make the vaccines. Of these SV40 (the 40th one found!) was the most researched. It is commonly used by scientists to induce genetic changes in other viruses. In animals it causes large numbers to develop sarcomas (cancer), and decreases protein production leading to muscle wasting—symtoms of AIDS. The administration of Salk vaccine, in New Zealand (1956-66), with SV40 was related to the appearance of SSPE, 100 times greater than expected(1).
A study of 58,000 women who had received the IPV (killed virus) during the time that SV40 contaminated the vaccine (1959-1965) showed a thirteenfold increased risk of brain tumours in their children.
Another virus from monkeys–respiratory syncytial (RS) was found in the polio vaccine in 1956, where a relationship was found to respiratory tract illness.
That monkey viruses can be deadly was demonstrated when over 10 vaccine researchers died, after being bitten by monkeys, from monkey B virus–a herpes virus. One of these was a colleague of Sabin in 1932.
In 1976 researchers at the US bureau of Biologics found that 3 samples of Lederle polio vaccine contained between 1,000 and 100,000 simian viruses per ml. of vaccine, a much higher concentration than later safety regulations allowed (Kyle, 1992).
Not forgetting the slaughter of thousands of monkeys to make these vaccines.
A mass polio vaccination in Finland (1985) resulted in a higher incidence of Guillain-Barre (GBS) cases in the first two quarters (16 total) compared to a mean incidence of GBS in the population of 3 cases per quarter during a 6 year surveillance period, 1981-1986. Ten of these were diagnosed within 10 weeks after vaccination with OPV. The Vaccine Safety Committee has acknowledged that OPV causes both paralytic polio and Guillain-Barre syndrome.
Louis Pascal has demonstrated that AIDS originated in the Belgian Congo as a direct result of mass oral polio vaccination which was contaminated with another monkey virus—the simian immunodeficiency virus (SIV) and bovine retrovirus, again as a result of using African Green monkey and calves kidneys to make vaccines. If the green monkey had anything to do with AIDS it was through generously “donating” it’s kidneys(1).
The AIDS virus is called Human T-Cell lymphoma/leukemia virus 3, or HTLV 3, since changed to HIV. Very similar to the monkey leukemia virus HTLV 4 (SIV), and almost identical to Visna sheep virus and Bovine Leukemia virus (BLV). Human Leukemia virus is HTLV 1, which looks like BLV and causes the same kind of disease in humans as it does in cattle, and is also virtually identical to STLV 1, another monkey virus(12). Myers et al (1992) asked whether HIV might simply be SIV adapting to a human host(1).
It doesn’t take much to see how the polio vaccine can cause leukemia in children. “Many here voice a silent view that the Salk and Sabin vaccine, being made of monkey kidney tissue….has been directly responsible for the major increase in leukemia in this country”—Dr Klenner, M.D.(19)
“Within a few years of the polio vaccine we started seeing some strange phenomena like the year before the first 300,000 does were given in the United States childhood leukaemia had never struck in children under the age of two. One year after the first onslaught they had the first cases of children under the age of two that died of leukaemia…….. Dr Herbert Radnor observed that in a small area of this little town, in an area where no cases of leukaemia had been expected or at the most one in 4 years according to previous statistics, they suddenly had a rash like an epidemic within a few blocks”—Dr Snead
Leukemia also has a mercury component, also found in the DPT, Hib, & Hep B vaccines with the mercury solution Thimerosal. A dentist, Dr Pinto, cured a girl of Leukemia by removing her mercury amalgam fillings. To prove his point, to her sceptical doctor, he replaced the amalgam, and the leukemia came back. He removed them again and the Leukemia went away again(17)
Mercury is used in laboratories to induce auto-immune disease in animals(17). Formaldehyde, found in the polio, HepB, and DPT vaccines is a known carcinogen. The DTP also contains sodium chloride, sodium hydroxide, hydrochloric acid and aluminium. The MMR contains neomycin, an antibiotic. The Hib also contains saccarides, sodium chloride & aluminium hydroxide. The Hep B also contains aluminium hydrochloride and sodium chloride(4).
“Thimerosol is the preservative in immunisation shots, so anytime you get an immunisation shot you are undergoing the same procedure that in the University Lab that we used to give animals auto-immune disease—give a little tiny injection of mercury. And when you get an immunisation shot you are getting a little tiny dose of mercury there.”—Hall Huggins DDS
Three shots of these chemicals and metals plus bacteria and viruses: diptheria, pertussis, tetanus, influenza type b, (plus hepatitis B in America), & 3 types of polio with the DPT, Hib, and Polio vaccines into babies before 4 months of age! Then the MMR at 12-18 months. Then again at 4 years. Twenty one vaccine mixtures before 5 years.
“Even to this day, the government, the FDA is refusing to use the sophisticated biotechnology to evaluate the contaminants in the vaccines such as the polio vaccines that they are administering. I think (people) would be appalled that some of the vaccines that are being currently being used are still laced with viruses,”—Leonard Horowitz., D.M.D., M.A., M.P.H.
POLIO VACCINE DAMAGE: In Polio Network News, 1992, it was reported that 4,236 petitions have been filed with the US Claims Court for injuries and deaths caused by polio vaccination(18).
One woman in New Zealand in 1983 had both legs amputated after a “dirty” polio shot containing SV40 was administred. This was after 10 years of suffering(14).
The FDA recently permitted the live polio vaccine to be released for use even though it did not meet existing safety standards. After losing a court case they rewrote their rules so these previously unacceptable safety measures would be allowable(4).
To add insult to injury the UK government will take you through hell before they admit liability, and then offer derisory amounts, and then only if you are over 80% damaged! All the “expert witnesses” are members of the allopathic medical profession; as vaccination (and the companies who make the vaccines) is one of the pillars of allopathy they are not exactly impartial.
The Wellcome company recently gave up making vaccines as “there was too much litigation and too little profit”.In the US from 1990-1993 (3yrs) the FDA counted 54,072 adverse reactions following vaccination. They admit only 10% are reported which puts the real figure at over 500,000. A comparative figure for the UK would be 45,000 per year, although we would be less as we have not mandated vaccines(4).
The Polio Connection of America & Polio vaccine victims: http://village.ios.com/~w1066/poliov6.html
Considering deaths alone we now had an estimate of over 3000 individuals from 1961.
Our curiosity thus was aroused and the net result is that we began our own investigation. We commissioned an OPV Vaccine Report and started making all kinds of other inquires. The OPV Vaccine report that we received was a shocking report. It covered a recent period a little less than 5 years and the following is the summary for that period: The number of Vaccine Associated events that occurred: 13,641
The number of events requiring emergency room visits 6,364
The number of life threatening events 236
The number of events requiring hospitalization 1726
The number of events with unknown recovery status 1695
The number of events resulting in permanent disability 133
The number of events resulting in death 540
It now seems we have discovered a Second Polio Deception and it is not Splendid! It seems we have exposed this nonsense of 8-10 cases of vaccine associated Poliomyelitis (VAP) each year’ for what it is and as the saying goes we seem to have opened Pandora’s Box. We also wonder how a figure of 8-10 VAP per year can be arrived at when there are in a full 5 years over 1,695 events (330 events per year) with unknown recovery status. How can any figure be valid with so many unknowns?
Polio vaccine adverse reactions
CAUSE OR CO-FACTORS OF POLIO
1.) Diet: Stephen Cooter found that the description of an acute polio virus infection is almost identical to vitamin B1 deficiency caused damage, Beri Beri. This is commonly caused by dextrose and alcohol as well as eating white rice.
Klenner, Southern Medicine & Surgery, April, 1951
“… review[ing] the findings of McCormick in 50 confirmed cases of poliomyelitis in and around Toronto, Canada, during the epidemic of 1949… families eating brown bread who came down with poliomyelitis did not develop paralysis; whereas in those families eating white bread many of the children having poliomyelitis did develop paralysis. The point here is that brown bread has 28 times more vitamin B1 than does white bread. Obviously, then, the paralysis which complicates acute poliomyelitis appears to be due to a B1 avitaminosis.” http://www.seanet.com/~alexs/ascorbate/
Dr Sandler in 1949 warned the residents of North Carolina to decrease consumption of ice cream, soda pop, and artificially sweetened products in hot weather. The incidence of polio dropped by 90%(20).
“Intensive research during the past twelve years on the relationship between diet and susceptibility to infection, not only in polio but also in common respiratory infections and tuberculosis, has convinced me that the human organism can protect itself against infection virtually completely by proper nutrition.”–Dr Sandler 1952
Dr McCormick pointed out that the first case of polio was reported in Vienna one year after roller-mill white flour was first sold there. He calls polio the form of beri-beri that follows the use of degerminated flour(2).
Another factor is the protection provided by human milk. Vaccination could not be successfully admintered to breast fed babies.
Dr George Starr claimed that “every case of infantile paralysis he had been able to check up on had been the victim of denatured (pasteurised) milk”, and his observation that, “a child has never been known to have infantile paralysis if the nursing mother took fruit juice in the place of milk and that, similarly, no child was ever known to have infantile paralysis if fed on fruit juice instead of milk”.
“The milling of wheat destroys 40% of the chromium, 86% of the cobalt, 68% of the copper, 78% of the zinc, and 48% of the molybdenum. By the time it is completely refined it has lost most of its phosphorus, iron and riboflavin, as well most fiber. Wheat flour has been plundered of most of its vitamin E, important oils and amino acids. White bread also turns to glucose as quick as white sugar (This is the staple diet of the majority).
Enriched and vitamin fortified foods are an outlandish rip-off…after enrichment white flour has less than half the calcium, a third the phosphorous and potassium. In one experiment 2/3rds of the rats kept on a 90 day diet of enriched bread died before the experiment was finished!. The 8 vitamins sprayed on most “fortified” breakfast cereals represent only a small portion of the nutrients originally present—not to mention fibre which has been removed almost entirely”.—Paul Stitt (food scientist).
Dr Melvin Page D.D.S. found that when he was able to get patients to achieve a calcium level 2 1/2 times that of phosphorus, degenerative diseases disappeared. The prime agents to cause an imbalance in the phosphorus calcium ratio are animal products (meat has a 20-1 ratio) sugar and soft drinks. (The average yearly sugar intake is 110 lbs. Average soft drink intake in the USA is 1-2 cans. Soft drinks are highly acidic, about 2.5 pH. It would take 32 glasses of alkaline water of pH 10 to neutralise one glass of cola.)
Dr Hal Higgins D.D.S states that pasteurised milk will rot your teeth at twice the rate of sugar.
“Pasturised milk is dangerous and destructive. It causes disease. It has not one redeeming quality. All it does is mask spoiled milk so that big business can make big money”.—H. Diamond, nutritionist.
Dr Gordon Stewart, Prof of Epidemiology and Pathology, states that polio and other viruses can be carried for months, even years with no effect. According to Dr Dennis Geffen, of every 100 people who contract polio virus, 90% remain symptomless; 9% only develop slight signs of the illness such as a stiff neck or sore throat, whilst only 1% develop definite paralysis.
“Viruses and bacteria are not the sole cause of infectious disease, there is something else”.—Prof Rene Dubois.
2) Provocation polio from vaccines, antibiotics & pesticides such as DDT
“The oral polio vaccine is not a deep puncture wound, but the magnitude of the assault of the vaccine strain of virus (ironically more virulent than the wild virus) with the accompanying toxins and the interference with the gut flora, i.e. still harming the outer levels of defence, still appears to have a sensitisation effect. Further, when you realise that we needed vaccination to provoke polio in the first place, with the first known outbreak not occurring until mass smallpox vaccination 100 years ago, well then you realise that avoiding the administration of the other vaccines almost entirely removes any threat of polio anyway.”–Bronwyn Hancock
Not only did the polio vaccine have nothing to do with the decline of paralytic polio (or polio in general), evidence shows that vaccinations for this and other diseases, notably diptheria, triple antigen (diptheria, pertussis and tetanus) and smallpox – were responsible for its increase. The decline of cases not caused by vaccination began to disappear in the West with improvements in hygiene and sanitation and most of the decline occurred well before the widespread use of polio vaccination.
The following information by the National Anti-Vivisection Society (UK) gives some insight into the relationship between the diptheria and triple antigen vaccines and paralytic polio:
“The early triple vaccine against diphtheria, whooping cough and tetanus had also been shown beyond doubt to cause paralytic polio in some children to whom it was administered. The incidence of polio in children recently vaccinated against diphtheria was statistically greater than in unvaccinated children, symptoms showing in the vaccinated limb with 28 days of the initial injection. This scandal broke in Britain during 1949, an epidemic year for polio, other reports soon following from Australia. Papers dealing with this topic are plentiful.
One, British, gives details of 17 cases of polio which followed 28 days or less after various injections.
Another, Australian, gives details of 340 cases of polio, 211 of which had been previously vaccinated against whooping cough and/or diphtheria. Of these, 35 had been vaccinated within the preceding 3 months and a further 30 within the previous year. Dr Geffen reported similar findings from the London borough of St Pancras, where 30 children under the age of 5 developed polio within four weeks of being immunised against diphtheria or whooping cough or both, the paralysis affecting, in particular, the limb of injection. Two medical statisticians at the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine examined these reports and concluded that:
“In the 1949 epidemic of poliomyelitis in this country cases of paralysis were occurring which were associated with innoculation procedures carried out within the month preceding the recorded date of onset of the illness.”
Dr Arthur Gale of the Ministry of Health reported 65 cases from the Midlands, where paralysis followed about two weeks after an injection: in 49 of these, paralysis occurred in the injected limb. Then it was reported that of 112 cases of paralysis admitted to the Park Hospital, London, during 1947-1949, 14 were paralysed in the limb which had received one or more of a course of immunising injections within the previous two months. In the majority of cases, the interval between the last injection and the onset of paralysis was between 9 and 14 days. Again, combined whooping cough, diphtheria and tetanus injections were involved.
This outbreak of polio followed an intensive immunisation campaign during that time, 1947-49. Following these findings, the Ministry of Health recommended that diphtheria and triple vaccines should not be used in areas where polio was naturally present. “From that time onwards, the incidence of paralytic polio decreased rapidly in Britain, even prior to the advent of Salk vaccination….”
“Provocation polio. That is the truth about those outbreaks of polio. And I offer a well considered personal opinion that polio is a man made disease.”—Viera Scheibner (42).
A recent Romanian study demonstrated that injections of antibiotics following polio vaccination could cause polio. The researchers suggested the rate of “vaccine-induced polio” in Romania could be reduced from 10.3 per year to 1.4 per year, if antibiotic injections were avoided for 30 days following polio vaccination (41).
Correlations with the injections of antibiotics were found: a single injection within one month of vaccination raised the risk of polio 8 times, 2 to 9 injections raised the risk 27-fold, and 10 injections or more raised the risk 182 times (Washington Post, Feb 22, 1995). Study Associates Polio Increase With (antibiotic) Injections
A study in India suggested that ¾ of cases of paralytic polio in the past decade were caused or made more severe by unnecessary injections (41) (The Lancet vol 341)).
Provocation polio
POLIO from DPT
Pesticides:
“Today, various other forms of the the word “polio” are still used to describe the effects of poisoning, though usually with regard to paralysis in animals. A search of Medline (“polio” and “poison”) finds about 45 contemporary articles where poisoning causality is attributed to polio. The terminology found was: “polioencephalomalacia”, “poliomyelomalacia”, “polyradiculoneuritis”, “neurological picture similar to that of poliomyelitis”, “polioencephalomyelomalacia”, “lumbal poliomyelomalacia”, “cerebrocortical necrosis (polioencephalomalacia)”, “Lead poisoning in grey-headed fruit bats (Pteropus poliocephalus)”, “multifocal-poliomyelomalacia”, “spinal poliomalacia”, “Polio and high-sulfate diets”, “Atypical porcine enterovirus encephalomyelitis: possible interraction between enteroviruses and arsenicals”, “Polioencephalomalacia and photosensitization associated with Kochia scoparia consumption in range cattle”, “bovine polioencephalomalacia”. —Jim West, Health and Research Publications, http://www.geocities.com/harpub
“When the population is exposed to a chemical agent known to produce in animals lesions in the spinal cord resembling those in human polio, and thereafter the latter disease increases sharply in incidence and maintains its epidemic character year after year, is it unreasonable to suspect an etiologic relationship?”—Biskind.
“Since the end of combat in the Phillipines, poliomyelitis has been among the leading causes of death in American troops. Even though only the paralytic cases are reported from there, the incidence of poliomyelitis in American troops in the Phillipines has been at least ten times as high as in the Army within the continental limits of the U.S. during the past two years. Actually, I believe that it is even higher because hundreds of cases which would have been diagnosed as dengue-like or sandfly-like fevers… under conditions which , in my opinion, would preclude the occurrence of both dengue and sandfly fever. And yet checks of the surrounding native population revealed no outbreaks of poliomyelitis.”—Albert Sabin (Clinical Intoxication from DDT http://www.geocities.com/harpub )

3.) Tonsillectomy: Doctor’s are starting to think that the polio epidemics of the 1940’s and 1950’s may have been caused by the high number of tonsillectomies done in the 1920’, 30’s and 40’s. They have discovered that the only area of the body that can synthesize the antibody to poliomyelitis is the tonsils. If you don’t have tonsils you can’t fight off polio.
“During the polio epidemics it was found that people who had their tonsils removed were 3-5 times more likely to develop paralysis….There were many at that time that suggested that polio was an iatrogenic disease…..we caused thousands of cases of paralysis. We did not cause the polio , but we converted people who would have recovered from a vial illness into people with a paralytic illness.”—Dr mark Donohue (41)
The paralysis associated with tonsillectomy was a type called ‘bulbar’—the worst, involving the lungs (41).
4.) Hygiene. In an outbreak in Taiwan of 1.031 cases in 1982 they found children were 5 times more likely to contract polio if they received non-municipal water rather than municipal water.
POLIO CURED:
Within 2 years after the discovery of ascorbic acid, Jungeblut showed it would inactivate the virus of poliomyelitis. This was pre-Salk. In 1949 Dr Klenner described his successful treatment of polio using Vitamin C, with many dramatic case histories(5).
97-100% recovered under correct Hygienic treatment
91%-100% recovered under certain chiropractic care
Polio poster girl cured
72% recovered under Nurse Kenny treatment
35% recovered with no professional care
17% recovered under medical care(8)! (Except for Klenner, who is really Nutritional/Orthomolecular/Metabolic Medicine)
Vitamin C in Acute Poliomyelitis: Greer, Medical Times, November 1955 “Large doses of vitamin C have proven beneficial in the management of five serious cases of acute poliomyelitis.”
The Treatment of Poliomyelitis and Other Virus Diseases with Vitamin C:
Klenner, Southern Medicine & Surgery, July, 1949 “The treatment employed [in the poliomyelitis epidemic in North Carolina in 1948, 60 cases] was vitamin C in massive doses… given like any other antibiotic every two to four hours. The initial dose was 1000 to 2000 mg., depending on age. Children up to four years received the injections intramuscularly … For patients treated in the home the dose schedule was 2000 mg. by needle every six hours, supplemented by 1000 to 2000 mg. every two hours by mouth … dissolved in fruit juice … All patients were clinically well after 72 hours. Where spinal taps were performed, it was the rule to find a reversion of the fluid to normal after the second day of treatment.
Another legacy of vaccines is the suppression of cures such as vitamin C and the suppression of the nutritional cause and prevention of polio. Of course, an easily cured disease would threaten the billion pound vaccine industry (and food processing & sugar industries) as well as show people the true cause of disease: germs arise through pleomorphism (form changing) of cells into bacteria, viruses, and fungi from a diseased/toxemic condition. Disease creates germs, not germs create disease. Flies do not create garbage, they just arrive to clear up the mess, like germs. Of course if your body is polluted/diseased or what is called toxemic then it is just the place for any germs from another diseased body to jump ship and tuck in. The immune system will also be in a depleted state due to the toxemia of waste products from cell breakdown. “There are no specific diseases only specific disease conditions”—Florence Nightingale. Witness the recent cases of TB in “down and outs”. One source of TB infection was traced to a man who drank 18 pints of lager every night(30/31/14).
Acceptance of the theory of contagion is contingent upon the germ theory of disease—that specific bacteria and “viruses” produce specific disease symptoms. This theory has been repeatedly demonstrated as incorrect in the scientific field, and was even admitted by Pasteur as incorrect.
Nevertheless, the germ theory and the belief of contagion is difficult to overcome since almost everyones mind has similarly been “infected” by exploitive “health care” industries that have a vested interest in disease and suffering and in perpetuating such erroneous beliefs. Basically the populace believes what the medical establishment wants it to. These false theories maintain demand for drugs, medical and hospital practices, and they are the only ones that teach that health is recovered by administrating poisonous drugs. If germs play any role in the causation of disease, it is never a primary one but is always secondary to those causes that lower our resistance or impair health. (A.Baker, M.A.)
“Diseases are crises of purification, of toxic elimination”–Hippocrates(10).
“There is but one cause of disease, poison toxemia, most of which is created in the body by faulty living habits and faulty elimination”–Sir A. Lane, 80 years ago(10).
The germ theory came from Louis Pasteur, a chemist, who has been found to be a fraud, and plagarist of Prof Antoine Beachamp (erased from the history books) a genius contemporary of his who discovered the true theory of disease. Even Pasteur on his death bed admitted “the terrain is everything”. It was a tradegy for the man in the street that Pasteur’s theory became the dogma, but very fruitful to the medical establishment who have frightened him rigid with germs ever since while fleecing him in the process.
“To believe that sickness results solely from the visitation of some itinerant germ or virus and to accept treatment by some poisonous drug is to be found guilty of the most naive superstition”.–Dr D. Phillips
“I have myself, through Natural Hygiene, over 16 years, treated all forms and hundreds of cases of typhus and typhoid fevers, pneumonia’s, measles and dysentery’s, and have not lost a single patient. The same is true of scarlet and other fevers. No medicine whatever was given”.–Dr Trall, 1860.

CEASE therapy a mothers story
Vaccinations and the homeopathic Detox process-
the mothers comment;CEASE therapy is by far a lot more healing (long term and permanent) unlike biomedical which sometimes only works while on supplements, once off them you’re back to square one We did biomedical for about 18 months and saw very little. We spend thousands and thousands on countless things, protocols, supplements, etc and nothing would happen, if it did it was only at the beginning and then back to square one.
With CEASE therapy the improvements and healing is permanent, steady and just plain amazing!!!!! I couldn’t tell you enough about this therapy
We’ve done quite a bit of things, but nothing has ever given us permanent and real results as CEASE therapy and homeopathy.

Case 1
Jurgen was exactly one year old when his mother first appeared at my practice. When he was three weeks old he contracted a cold that had still not disappeared. Up to six months he was lovable and quiet, but this suddenly changed: he became restless and noisy and often had one-day fevers, ten times in that year. It was as if he was a different child, said his mother. Nothing pleased him any more, he refused to sit on mother’s lap, even for a game or nursery-rhyme. He had his vaccinations exactly on time ‘with absolutely no problems’ according to the mother, except that after the fourth DKTP/HIB a month ago he had a one-day fever. He has also had abnormal trouble with teething, with a raised temperature and diarrhoea. His colds were characterized by a watery running nose, expectoration and noisy breathing: ‘you can always hear something,’ his mother said. From six months he was given vegetables and fruit juice as well as the bottle. ‘What is the matter with him? He has suffered colds since he was three weeks old so he very probably has an innate tendency to infection and weak defences. But the enormous change in Jurgen’s character at six months is the most noticeable part of this tale.’ Theoretically this could be caused by the change in diet, but it is most unlikely that this could cause the change in character. These changes can however easily be explained by a post-vaccination syndrome. His total lack of reaction to the various vaccines is more likely to be a sign of his poor general defences than of the harmlessness of the vaccinations.
This means for Jurgen that we will in all probability have to reverse the change in character by giving him a series of potentised DKTP/HIB. His weak defences (which are shown by his constant colds) will remain to be treated later, as this was present before the vaccination period. After the DKTP/HIB 30K, which he was given in the evening before going to bed, he cried at night incessantly for four hours, after which he was noticeably more content. He also had diarrhoea that day. The 30K was therefore repeated a few days later, after which the series was completed. After three weeks I saw Jurgen again. Mother said that his behaviour had improved beyond measure. He was now much more content and remained on her lap, and expressed real pleasure (for example when his parents came home). He played more happily, and no longer ran from one thing to another. He had become calmer. Since the treatment he often had diarrhoea and he slept fitfully, waking at night and wanting to play as if to make up for lost time. He yelled whenever his mother went away. I prescribed a repeat series of potentised DKTP/HIB, to which he reacted with three days of fever of up to 40°C, a runny nose, coughing and inflamed eyes. This was followed by almost constant diarrhoea, rejection of his food and continuing colds. Then came a period with bodily disturbances from teething difficulties, expectoration and squeaky breathing. It seemed as if he was bothered by something other than his vaccinations so I decided on the basis of his symptoms to treat him with Cuprum metallicum after which he finally recovered. He sleeps peacefully, no longer has diarrhoea, the colds and inflammation of the eyes have disappeared and Jurgen is fully recovered.
Case 2
Peter, 10 months old, was suffering from colic and stone-hard stools and could scream dreadfully for hours on end following his first DKTP. Mother, who is a ‘DES-daughter’ (child of a mother who used the drug di-ethylstilbestrol during pregnancy, which proved injurious to the child), has Crohn’s disease (chronic enteritis) and took Salazopyrine* during and after pregnancy so could not breast-feed her child. Peter has had hard stools from his sixth week and always needed two days to expel his faeces. He turned red, perspired over his whole body, got cross, shrieked and kicked. After his first DKTP/HIB he had fever for a day and his whole thigh became swollen ‘like a sausage’. He screamed incessantly for nearly five hours. After the second DKTP/HIB he again developed a fever with a swollen, red leg. Growth disorders were also observed. The third vaccine was injected into his arm, after which he again developed a fever, with a swollen arm.
The following potentised vaccines were administered: DKTP/HIB 30K, 200K, MK and XMK on four consecutive days; after the MK Peter cried all day and then started to recover. After two weeks he fell back into his old pattern of ailments. The DKTP/HIB 30K and 200K were then repeated and again he recovered. Mother speaks of a miracle; Peter is happier and no longer screams. The drop in his weight curve started to rectify itself. He still suffered from hard stools, which was to be expected as this was the case before vaccination.
Two possibilities can be considered: he either has a predisposition to intestinal problems or these manifested themselves before birth as a result of his mother’s use of Salazopyrine during pregnancy. If the latter is the case the problem could relatively easily be solved. My initial tentative diagnosis was chronic constipation caused by the mother’s use of Salazopyrine during pregnancy. If this diagnosis is correct the ailment should be cured and eventually entirely disappear after treatment with potentised Salazopyrine. I prescribed Salazopyrine 30K once a week. After two months the constipation was fully cured.
Case 3
Henri is a small boy who for six months had been peevish. At first his mother did not associate this with the chicken-pox he had had, which passed off without further complications. After careful questioning it appeared that everything had started at the time of this children’s complaint. I therefore gave him Varicellinum 200K (chicken-pox). A large eruptive spot appeared on his chest, after which he was fully cured.
Case 4
Luuk was born in early November 1994 and received his first DKTP/HIB on the 15th of February 1995. A few days later he first became ill; he had shortage of breath accompanied by noisy breathing. The GP prescribed Bricanyl (bronchial dilator) and Clamoxyl (antibiotic) but this appeared unsatisfactory and Luuk was given a second course of Clamoxyl. On the 11th of April his lungs were finally completely clear and he was given the second DKTP/HIB. Two days later he contracted diarrhoea which lasted a week, for which the doctor prescribed Diarolyte (remedy for the prevention of dehydration as a result of diarrhoea and vomiting). On the 11th of May followed the third DKTP/HIB and on the 16th of May Luuk was again short of breath and the doctor represcribed Clamoxyl, this time together with Deptropine (bronchial dilator and remedy against allergy). However, Luuk’s condition did not improve and halfway through June he was given Atrovent (bronchial dilator) and Erythrocine (antibiotic). On the 23rd of June he was given Erythrocine again with Zaditen (remedy against allergy) and on July the 13th (four months after the beginning of his complaint) he visited the paediatrician, who did not offer a diagnosis but suggested stopping the treatment. Luuk’s condition improved gradually. On the 21st of November the fourth DKTP/HIB was given. On the 26th of November his nose started running, he began to cough and he had trouble breathing. Luuk was visiting his grandparents in a different town at the time. The mother consulted the local GP on duty, who suggested PVS and referred Luuk to me. The following Monday I saw Luuk, who had breathing difficulties and was heavily congested. I prescribed a solution of DKTP/HIB 30K. Within 24 hours the breathing problems were noticeably improved. For several days he continued to cough and expectorate and in the following week the phlegm was completely cleared. To complete elimination of the disturbance by the vaccines he was given a further series of potentised vaccines from 30K to XMK on four consecutive days. Since then (a period of nine months) Luuk has no longer been ill.
Case 5
Johan reported for duty with the marines in August 1993 and was given a Mantoux (product injected subcutaneously in the arm to confirm the presence or absence of tuberculosis in a person) injection on the 13th of August, on the 20th of August a DTP- and typhoid jab and on the 16th of September a booster typhoid vaccination. He gradually deteriorated, as he says himself. He was overtired, had serious difficulty concentrating, became very forgetful and had a strained left knee. At night particularly he had belly-ache, a burning feeling in his stomach and palpitations. After three months he was discharged from service. He went back to his former employer, but could hardly work. For a year-and-a-half he was very poorly, then he ended up in the summer of ’95 on social security. A rheumatologist declared him ‘in perfect health’. After that he sought help in the alternative medicine circuit and ended up visiting me. He told me that he felt fluey all day, perspired heavily, had to drink a lot and urinate very frequently. At night he was thoroughly exhausted. He felt too weak to ride his motor-bike. He got stomach cramps and felt ill from two glasses of beer. His problems were almost certainly due to one of the vaccinations. Any other explanation seems simply untenable. Treatment with Typhus 30K up to XMK on four consecutive days was started without any success. Three weeks later the DTP series 30K to XMK was given, again without any improvement being recorded. As suspicion still fell heavily on one of the vaccinations I repeated both series, again without result. What was left is the Mantoux. Immediately following the potentised Mantoux series he felt better and was again able to work whole days. Although he felt a lot better he was still a long way from being what he was. The Mantoux series was therefore repeated several times, each time after an interval of three weeks. He now anticipates a full recovery from this.
Case 6
Ragma was a one-year-old girl. In the early morning on the 4th of May, 1992 a worried father rang me because his daughter was quite seriously ill. Both of Ragma’s parents were homoeopathic family doctors and knew the dangers of vaccination. They had chosen to have their daughter only partially inoculated at a later date to avoid vaccination risks as far as possible. As they both enjoyed long-distance travel they decided to give Ragma a DTP at 13 months. Up to then she had been a healthy child. She had occasionally had coughing fits but these had spontaneously disappeared. The day following the vaccination Ragma became very listless. After a week she began coughing and vomiting with a temperature of 38-39°C. She did not want any food or drink beyond her single daily breast feed. She woke frequently and only began to sleep properly at about 5 o’clock in the morning. She was prone to frequent crying fits, especially at night. Her parents gave her Thuja C1000 after she had been coughing and had had a fever for four days. She did not react to this. Her condition worsened and five days after the beginning of her illness she clearly had an infiltration (sign of pneumonia) in the lower lobe of her left lung. Her temperature was 39.5°C, she would neither eat nor drink and vomited as a result of her coughing fits. Her parents were worried about dehydration and feared hospitalization. The family doctor involved pressed for an immediate course of antibiotics. When the father rang me on that May morning I advised him to start immediately with the administration once an hour of a teaspoonful of a solution of DTP 200K. I arranged to see Ragma at the end of the afternoon. Her condition was then essentially unchanged. Crepitations (sounds audible with a stethoscope that point to pneumonia) were clearly audible in the lower left lung; there was (as yet) no sign of dehydration but we clearly had a seriously ill child. We agreed to continue with the treatment and to postpone further decisions until the next morning. The next morning I received an enthusiastic telephone-call from the parents. Ragma had slept better, her temperature was 37.9°C, she was coughing a lot less, had stopped vomiting and was more active. The treatment (a sip of DTP 200K every hour) was continued.
The next morning Ragma was full of beans. The fever had abated completely, her appetite was first-rate and she was drinking normally. Her facial colour was back to normal. Medication was stopped and the lungs healed without problems.
I dared to tackle Ragma’s case because I had had ample experience of treating PVS-complaints with potentised vaccine and had built up my faith in the efficacy of this method. Antibiotics would almost certainly have worked too slowly to prevent dehydration and hospitalization, whilst the DTP 200K not only very effectively cured the post-vaccination syndrome but also restored the general defences.
Case 7
This 38-year-old woman is the mother of Ralf (case 13). In 1983 (at 28 years of age) she went to Indonesia and was given two each of cholera, DTP and typhoid vaccinations and one -globulin. Since then she had been tired, had listless hair, her memory had become much less reliable and she was moody. She showed a serious lack of concentration and felt uneasy, afraid that she would not get things done in time. Her sexual energy had completely disappeared. She had been increasingly run-down. Also she had constant muscular pain. She started overeating and gained more than 1½ stone. All this time her faeces had been runny. She could not shake off a cold; when her children got colds she always caught them. She said to me: ‘You know your disposition and energy have changed, but you just can’t be bothered to do anything about it. You feel indecisive. I’ve come to you with the children but would never have come by myself.’ In 1993, ten years after her holiday in Indonesia, her son Ralf was born by Caesarian section, for which she had anaesthetic. After that she had two miscarriages and was once anaesthetized for D & C, after which both memory and concentration declined still further. I therefore gave her a series of Nux Vomica 30K up to XMK to clear the unwanted effects of the anaesthetic. She clearly improved, her energy increased and her headaches disappeared. She even sat in the sun without her veins swelling and turning scarlet and without a headache. She was noticeably less moody, but her memory and concentration were still poor. A repeat of Nux Vomica did not induce further improvement. My following step, starting in June 1995 and still unfinished in September 1996, was to reduce the noxious effects of the vaccines. Healing is in this case a gradual process with sometimes serious recurrences. The typhoid vaccination proved to be responsible for her complaints. She still reacts strongly to the potentised typhoid vaccine, but shows further improvements after each treatment. Her memory has already shown a marked improvement and she is clearly more energetic. In her own words: ‘My will-power is back and I am a different person. If I look back to the period before treatment it is as if a blanket had been thrown over everything; everything I did was routine. The fog has now lifted. My concentration has returned; I can read books again and feel like studying again – I remember things better. I feel as if I’m making up for ten lost years. I’m fit now when I get up in the morning and no longer tired as I was for all those years.’
Case 8
This case is reported by my colleague, who treated a 17-year-old girl for urticaria (St. Anthony’s fire) on the face. She had tried unsuccessfully throughout the whole country to find relief. When my colleague asked how long she had been troubled by this eczema her mother said that it started three months after the first DKTP-injection, i.e. 17 years before. She was given a series of DKTP 30K, 200K, MK and XMK over four days and the rash disappeared like snow before the sun within 14 days and at the time of writing (nine months later) had never returned.
Case 9
Following the DTP-jab at four years, Lisette showed an enormous decline in her development despite the preventive measure of DTP 200K two days before the vaccination and later on the same day: she started eating badly again, was very tired and reverted to baby behaviour: she talked gibberish, wanted to be fed and to revert to bottle-feeding. She became listless, spent a lot of time lying on the ground and wanted to be cuddled a lot as well as developing oversensitivity to pain. I gave her a complete series of DTP 30K, 200K, MK and XMK over four days, after which the complaints completely disappeared and her development continued normally.
Case 10
Patrick was nine months old when I first saw him. He constantly had a cold with green mucus. His breathing had been erratic since birth, but was now heavy and accompanied by phlegm. Mother stopped breast-feeding him after four and a half months. At this time he also developed eczema in the elbows and behind the knees, which was treated with cortisone ointment (a steroid (hormonal) ointment). He had been inoculated according to the normal scheme (i.e. at 3, 4 and 5 months). Eight to ten days after the first DKTP/HIB he contracted bronchitis with coughing fits, for which he was given antibiotics by the family doctor. Since then his breathing had been attended by expectoration. He caught a heavy cold following the second DKTP/HIB. Only the third vaccination was given in stages, first the DKTP and fourteen days later the HIB, which resulted in fewer reactions. In the spring his right eye became inflamed and produced green pus and at the time I saw him he had an infection of the left inner ear. He had had in total three courses of penicillin and reacted each time with a rash. At the time he was taking two puffs of Becotide (powder to be inhaled based on the hormone beclometason, which inhibits infection in cases of asthma) three times a day. He was perspiring heavily. I start treatment with a series of HIB, followed a week later by a series of DKTP and again two weeks later by a series of DKTP/HIB. When I next saw him five weeks later there had been no clear improvement; of the last series he had only taken the 30K and had just had an ear infection with a fever of 40.6°C, which the family doctor treated with penicillin. It still seemed that the injections were the only explanation for his complaints. Apparently one disorder was masking another. Homoeopathy recognizes that multiple disorders must always be treated in the correct sequence, that is to say in the reverse order to that in which they appeared. It appeared that the antibiotics had caused their own problems, which prevented him from benefiting from the given therapy. I therefore started treatment with a series of Penicillinum 30K, 200K, MK and XMK; after the MK he reacted with amber phlegm and a dry cough. Then the XMK was administered and the amber phlegm disappeared entirely. Two weeks later he had the series DKTP/HIB, after which his improvement continued. One month later he was fully recovered: his colds have disappeared and he no longer expectorates.
Case 11
Another instance of reduced natural defences is Hanneke. She was seven months old when she was first brought to my practice. Two months previously she had caught her first cold, which was followed by an infection inside her right ear and bronchitis for which she was given a course of antibiotics. A week later the ear infection was on both sides and her bronchitis had not cleared up, so she had been given a second course of antibiotics. Since then her breathing had been noisy owing to mucus in her lungs. I was told it all seemed to begin after the third DKTP. I prescribed a series of DKTP/HIB 30K, 200K, MK and XMK on four consecutive days. Since then the ear infections and bronchitis have gone but the cold remained. She also started to sit, crawl and stand in a short time. It was then that it became clear that her development had almost imperceptibly been retarded. There was still fluid in her right ear-drum and, when tested, she appeared to hear practically nothing on the left and little on the right. Teething pains frequently made her cry at night. She still appeared distraught. At the end of February I gave her a series of DKTP/HIB 30K, 200K, MK and XMK because the symptoms of post-vaccination disorders were still present. Following this her cold disappeared. Her hearing is now once again perfect and she is thoroughly content. Hanneke is again as healthy as previously and her natural defences are fully restored.
Case 12
Ellen was eleven months old when I first saw her in the middle of February and had constantly had colds ‘since birth’. She cried continually at night for the first few weeks, probably as a result of stomach cramps. At five months she suffered terribly for two weeks from fluid, squirting diarrhoea. At eight months she was first bothered by a suppurating inflammation of the middle ear and a temperature of above 40°C. She was then given her first antibiotic treatment. After this she had four further attacks of middle ear inflammation, the last accompanied by vomiting, watery diarrhoea and a temperature between 375 and 38.6°C. She was otherwise a bright child, quite well-developed and she ate and slept without difficulty. She smells sour when she is unwell. She has had three DKTP’s, to which she showed no direct reaction. Middle-ear inflammation and digestive disturbances are prevalent on the mother’s side of the family. I began applying a common homoeopathic treatment, without success. On April the 15th she was given the fourth DKTP and 14 days later she again had a cold, brought up mucus, developed purulent eyes, ate less, cried at night and got another inflammation of the middle ear. When I saw her at the beginning of June with both ears discharging, a dirty nose and purulent eyes, it was clear to me that she had PVS. I prescribed a DKTP 30K, 200K, MK and XMK on four consecutive days. On July the 20th the mother rang me to tell me that the child ‘had never been so well’. Everything has finished and it surprised everyone that the child looks so healthy. There was no relapse.
Case 13
Ralf was one-and-a-half and had had eczema from the age of seven months. For a week following both the DKTP/HIB’s and the MMR he awoke shrieking and screaming and did not want to go to bed in the evening; he was in a state of panic and had to be nursed to sleep. After the third DKTP/HIB he also started to vomit and had fetid stools. His eczema seriously worsened after the MMR and he became aggressive and tense and started throwing things. His mother spoke of a breakdown. Whereas he had been thoroughly content for the first half-year, he had now for six months been restless and prone to regular colds. From his seventh month he drank a lot at night and, since the MMR, during the day. Treatment with a series of MMR 30K, 200K, MK and XMK was started and three weeks later he was given a series of DKTP/HIB 30K, 200K, MK and XMK. After the MMR series he became much happier and when the DKTP/HIB series was finished he was ‘the little boy she once knew’ as the mother said. He became talkative again, happy and full of grit. However, his night-time thirst remained undiminished and he would not calm down until allowed to drink. In addition he had a bad cold and watery, slimy faeces. I gave him a repeat series of MMR, following which for three days he woke up screaming and was afraid to go to bed in the evening, just as after the MMR inoculation. Otherwise there was little to report. Two weeks later the DKTP/HIB series was repeated and he reacted to this similarly as to the MMR; this also lasted for a couple of days. Then his excessive thirst at night disappeared within a few weeks, he slept increasingly peacefully and for three months the eczema could be observed to decrease without additional treatment. All symptoms arising following the vaccinations have completely disappeared.
Not all children are disturbed this clearly as a result of vaccination, but here is one of the fortunate few who was able to profit from a planned programme of recovery. Ralf is part of a family that has a history of adverse reactions to vaccination. His mother visited Indonesia on holiday in 1983 and was given two each of cholera, DPT and typhoid and one gamma-globulin (preventive injection against hepatitis A) injections. Since then she has suffered from fatigue for 11 years long (case 7). Her father had previously also been to Indonesia, on military service, and had the necessary injections. Ralf is thus the third generation displaying vaccination problems.
Case 14
In the Tijdschrift voor Jeugdgezondheidszorg4 for 1994 is an interesting illustration of vaccination damage is handled. “The commission considered the case of a girl who is now two years old whose mental and physical development was very seriously retarded. She had undergone a normal development since her full-term (at the normal time) birth at normal weight. She became seriously ill following the second DKTP, with a temperature of 41°C and symptoms that clearly suggested whooping cough: six weeks later it was obvious that her mental development was retarded. Following the first DKTP she had also been ill with a temperature of 40°C, coughing bouts with tightness in the chest and vomiting, but less seriously than after the second inoculation.
“The committee recognizes that whereas a causal connexion with both inoculations cannot be ruled out, this must be considered unlikely owing to the particularity of the course of the illness and against the background of the corpus of scientific literature relating to such a connexion.”
The commission’s opinion is in fact not very interesting here, although it does underline how such problems are generally tackled. What is much more relevant is the question as to the grounds on which it was considered that the responsible person or organization should go ahead with the second DKTP. At the very least it should have been decided to leave out the whooping-cough vaccination because of the coughing and oppression and 40°C temperature following the first DKTP. For another example, see case 11, Hanneke.
Case 15
A good example of too many vaccines being administered together is provided by Marieke. Her fourth DKTP and HIB were postponed and at 15 months she had to receive another DKTP, HIB and MMR. She was given them at the same time, a total of eight vaccines. Her mother’s anxious question whether that was all right was answered in the affirmative: the child was quite strong enough. Nevertheless she reacted to the first three DKTP’s and HIB’s with a temperature above 39°C and by shrieking inconsolably (especially the first time). The ninth day after this massive inoculation she had a seizure with rattling respiration accompanied by slimy expectoration and her right side became completely rigid. Her temperature rose to 41.2°C She was admitted to hospital where she was given a lumbar puncture and further blood tests, but no infection was diagnosed. After two days she appeared completely recovered but at eight o’clock on the third morning she had a serious epileptic attack which lasted until towards evening. Marieke was no longer Marieke. Her speech was reduced to hmm, hmm… She constantly rocked backwards and forwards and up and down. There was no longer any eye contact; it was ‘as if she’s looking straight through you’. All warmth, joy and feeling of happiness and sorrow had disappeared. She had become an invalid baby that needed help feeding, could not crawl, walk or talk. Her growth practically ceased.
Marieke appeared to have lost her sense of balance; she waved her arms when walking and by now had had two months of physiotherapy and speech therapy. She only said ‘mummy’ and ‘daddy’. But there was no repeat of the epileptic attacks and the medication was reduced after three months.
Now two-and-a-half, her condition had never been diagnosed as a post-vaccination syndrome. Her paediatrician repeatedly enquired if her mother still believed it came from the vaccinations, and the mother replied that she was 99% certain it did. Actual proof of a causal connexion would also in this case have to come from the potentised vaccine, however. We started the treatment carefully with just a MMR in homoeopathic dilution with a week between each administration. It was not certain that Marieke would still be able to recover fully. This misery could probably have been avoided if such vaccine-cocktails had been a thing of the past.
Treatment was started on April 22nd and I saw her again on the 14th of August, nearly four months later. She had been given each potency of the MMR twice because her condition worsened each time. The last dose (XMK) was given three weeks previously.
Marieke had changed enormously. She immediately got a runny nose and went through a highly emotional period during which she cried about literally everything and held on to her mother, just like when she was in hospital. But by now she feels safe again with father and mother and she can safely be left with people she knows. Her mother calls her describes her as radiant; she is freer, approaches people, is decided in what she wants. Her coordination has improved beyond measure. Her bearing is no longer that of a baby, her muscular control and balance have improved by leaps and bounds. She can walk normally again without waving her arms. Her pupils are no longer dilated and function normally and her oversensitivity to light is much reduced. Her digestion has improved; there is no undigested food in her faeces, which smell more normal. Her speech has improved; she uses some new words but in this is still backward for her age. Generally speaking she is about half a year behind her actual age, which means she has caught up about one-and-a-half years in four months. A consultation with the welfare-centre doctor who gave her all the vaccines together has not proved very satisfactory. She maintains that she acted correctly and says that she would do the same in similar cases in the future.
I decide to eliminate the disturbances from the other vaccines (DKTP and HIB) after one treatment as Marieke is far healthier. If necessary the whole procedure can be repeated. It looks as if Marieke, too, can recover completely from her post-vaccination syndrome. This treatment has at the same time definitively shown the cause of the bodily and mental retardation to be post-vaccination syndrome.
Case 16
Owing to an unnecessary repeat of the whooping-cough vaccine Saskia has adverse reactions after each vaccination. At three months she was given her first DKTP/HIB and fourteen days later she contracted whooping cough from an infected child. The paediatrician diagnosed whooping cough, which lasted nearly five months. But even after that she was constantly unwell: colds, ‘flu, diarrhoea and any other illness she came into contact with. Nevertheless, at eight months she was given a DKTP/HIB despite the parents’ direct query about the necessity of K (i.e. whooping cough). She developed a high temperature and was very ill for two days. A month later the third DKTP followed, after which she was ill for a week with a high temperature. Only then was it decided to drop the superfluous whooping-cough vaccine at the next inoculation. She hardly showed any reaction to the DTP/HIB vaccination, but her further development had clearly been disturbed. At nearly two, Saskia still did not talk and would only take minced food. Her back and neck were strained and she crawled with her body to one side. She hardly walked and constantly supported herself on whatever was to hand. Now, three months after starting on the recovery programme with DKTP/HIB 30K, 200K, MK and XMK and with Pertussin (whooping cough) 30K, 200K, MK (she did not have the XMK), Saskia is a different child. The improvement started slowly, but it became increasingly obvious that she was recovering. The results can now be called spectacular. She has completely made up lost time. She can now walk normally and even run, jog, climb stairs and walk backwards. She crawls symmetrically. Her speech is satisfactory and her articulation has much improved. She is energetic, less dependent on her mother and no longer panics if she cannot see her. She needs less sleep and no longer takes medication. A cold with green phlegm cleared up for the first time without going on to her lungs and without any wheezing. She is content and is a joy every day, reports the mother. Saskia is practically cured of the detrimental effects of the DKTP/HIB and the whooping cough.
Case 17
At nearly two years Frances had respiratory problems. From the week after her second DKTP she was seriously short of breath every time she caught a cold. I therefore gave her DKTP 30K, 200K, MK and XMK on four consecutive days. Following the XMK she started crying at night when going to sleep, something she had never previously done. She displayed symptoms of severe panic. Four days after the XMK she developed a cold, was weak in the legs and took to whining. I therefore gave her a DKTP 200K in solution. She was still wheezy, but noticeably less than usual. She started to improve slowly. At her next chill she still coughed but was no longer stuffed up. Her last chill was free of all complications. Frances is now perfectly content and her stuffiness has not returned.
Case 18
I first saw Walter in my surgery when he was 14 months old. At three months he contracted pneumonia, which was treated with penicillin, but he continued to cough. For a year he had been taking 25 ml. of Deptropine (bronchial dilator and remedy against allergy) three times a day but the coughing fits continued day and night. A PVS suggested itself, but the mother assured me that the pneumonia appeared before the first DKTP vaccination. He showed practically no reaction to the DKTP’s and HIB’s. I then prescribed a homoeopathic preparation based on his symptoms, to which he hardly reacted. A fortnight later the mother informed me by telephone that on checking the baby’s records she had discovered that the pneumonia appeared four days after the first DKTP. I immediately prescribed DKTP 30K, 200K, MK and XMK on four consecutive days and a week later the coughing had completely ceased and the Deptropine was quickly decreased. A year’s coughing and Deptropine was thus brought to an end.
Case 19
Joop was one-and-a-half, having been given the combined mumps, measles and German measles jab at 14 months. After a week he caught a cold with noisy breathing. The DKTP’s had hardly bothered him. A course of penicillin seemed to solve everything, but a month later he again had a cold with noisy breathing. I then gave him MMR 200K, three days running. His condition improved, but he did not completely recover. A series of BMK 30K, 200K, MK and XMK cured him completely and his complaints did not recur.
Case 20
Frits was five months old when he was first brought to my practice. For six weeks he had displayed ‘constitutional eczema’ which started on his right cheek and spread over his whole body. He was over-sensitive to indigenous fruit and allergic to cow-milk protein. Exactly one month before the eczema started he had had his first DKTP and just two days before his visit the second. I prescribed DKTP 30K, 200K, MK and XMK and following the MK he developed a fever, so the XMK was postponed. The eczema abated quickly. After 14 days he received the XMK and the eczema disappeared completely. One month later the whole series was repeated owing to a slight recurrence, after which the eczema was completely cured.

candida yeast what to do,a few holistic options to start with
Taking antibiotics cause yeast/candida do antifungals help with Candida overgrowth?
Antifungals are almost as important as probiotics in your fight against Candida, in fact they actually complement each other in the treatment. Antifungals kill the Candida yeast, then the probiotics replenish your gut with good bacteria and prevent the Candida from overgrowing again. Taking probiotics alone will certainly slow the Candida overgrowth and perhaps even reduce it over time, but for fast results you need to be taking a good antifungal too.
There are many different types of antifungal, but most work by damaging the cell wall of the fungus cell, causing it to die. Unfortunately, the similarity between human cells and fungus cells means that prescription antifungals tend to have nasty side effects. Natural antifungals are a good alternative, but if you suspect you have a serious fungal infection you should always consult your doctor first.
How do you take antifungals?
You should begin taking your antifungals when you start the strict Stage 2 diet, or soon after. Start slowly with low doses of antifungals. A large dose could kill too much of the Candida yeast too quickly, resulting in a severe Die-Off reaction. For the same reason, try to leave at least a few days between starting your antifungals and your probiotics.
Another good tip is to take several antifungals at the same time. Many people believe that Candida can adapt to a single antifungal over time, so by doing this you can ensure that the antifungals lose none of their effectiveness. You can also rotate every month or so, and don’t be afraid to try a few different antifungals.
How do you choose an antifungal?
There are a huge number of antifungals out there. You can check out a larger list in our Antifungals section. To get you started though, here are 4 great antifungals that you should definitely take a look at.
Caprylic Acid
This supplement is a powerful antifungal that comes in capsule form. Its one of the antifungals most often used in Candida treatment. Alternatively you can take the whole food approach and eat coconut oil, which contains large amounts of Caprylic Acid. You can take up to 5 tablespoons per day, but start on a lower does just in case you experience a Die-Off reaction.
A 2007 research study proved the effectiveness of coconut oil and Caprylic Acid in fighting Candida – read more here. The conclusion of the report was that “coconut oil should be used in the treatment of fungal infections”. Read more about caprylic acid >>
Oil of Oregano
Oil of Oregano can either be used to treat topical fungal infections, or taken orally in a capsule or liquid form. If you buy it in the liquid form, generally the instructions will tell you to take 1-3 drops per day. These drops can be taken under the tongue or diluted with water.
Oil of Oregano’s antifungal properties were borne out in a 2001 study showing its effectiveness against fungal infections like Candida. Another study demonstrated its potency against parasites and worms, making it a useful supplement for those Candida sufferers who also have Leaky Gut Syndrome, and it also has antioxidant properties. Read more about oil of oregano >>
Garlic
Garlic contains a chemical compound named Ajoene which has potent antifungal properties. A 2009 study showed the effectiveness of Ajoene against 98.2% of yeasts, including Candida – read more here.
Garlic can be added to many different foods. You can even mince a couple cloves of garlic into a glass of water and drink it with some coconut oil to make it easier on your stomach. Alternatively there are some great garlic supplements that you can use as a part of your daily routine. Garlic has so many health benefits that you can’t go wrong. Read more about garlic >>
Grapefruit Seed Extract
Grapefruit Seed Extract (GSE) comes from the pulp and seeds of grapefruit. A 2004 study showed that GSE inhibited the growth of Candida Albicans, and this is one of the most popular antifungals used for cases of Candida overgrowth.
Grapefruit Seed Extract is quite a powerful antifungal, so you should start with a small dose and make sure to dilute it in plenty of water. If you start experiencing Die-Off symptoms, reduce the dose a little. Also be aware that Candida can adapt to GSE, so you should take this as part of a group of antifungals.

HElichrysum/everlasting/Immortelle essential oil
Thanks to
http://www.anandaapothecary.com
just arrived today,an essential oil i have always wanted
Helichrysum, also known as Everlasting Essential Oil or Immortelle, has been studied in Europe for regeneration of nerves, improving skin conditions, reducing inflammation, relieving pain, and speeding healing.
There are many species of Helichrysum, though it is only the ‘italicum’ species that is true ‘Immortelle’ or ‘Everlasting’, with the regenerative actions attributed to this wonderful oil. Further, the Corsican variety is actually considered a sub-species, noted as Helichrysum italicum spp. sertinum. The island is the only source known for producing oils with consistently high levels of Neryl Acetate, a molecular constituent thought to have anti-spasmodic properties. As you continue reading, note that this is the only significant difference in the chemistry profile of the two Helichrysum sources.
Our current stocks both have excellent, synergistic chemistry profiles. The unique natural molecular components of these Helichrysum italicum oils include anti-inflammatory alpha, beta and gamma-curcumenes (think ‘curcumine’, the anti-inflammatory extract from tumeric), and high amounts of regenerative di-ketones. While ketone-containing essential oils are generally to be avoided, the di-ketones (actually ‘Italidiones’ in Helichrysum) are perfectly safe.
The curcumenes found, too, in Ginger essential oil, are also chelators of metals from the body (some users will massage a diluted formula into their feet to support removal of metals from the body). The di-ketones are not found in any other essential oil (hence the name ‘Italidiones’, from Helichrysum italicum). They are thought to be potent aids in stimulating tissue regeneration. These are one of the reasons you’ll frequently find Helichrysum in scar-reduction and wound healing formulas.
A few usage suggestions: For burns, apply undiluted as soon as possible for immediate relief – only 1-3 drops are necessary. For impact-type injuries, apply undiluted immediately to prevent initial swelling and reduce healing time; use enough to cover the area in a thin layer (this is often only a few drops). Same for ‘twists’ (an ankle, for example). Repeat application again in 30 minutes if you think it’s necessary.
When using undiluted, just put your index finger on the top of the bottle (for 5 and 12ml bottles, otherwise dispense drop by drop using an eyedropper) and invert the bottle ~ then apply from your fingertip. We have had many reports of successful application to sports injuries and the like, with rapid healing and minimal downtime.
For older injuries (more than a few hours) it has been suggested to use diluted in any carrier oil. We personally use Jojoba most of the time, though any carrier will work. The dilution is a matter of personal preference, though we keep a bottle of 20% Helichrysum on-hand (this is 6ml in 24ml carrier oil, to fill a one-ounce glass bottle). We use this for sports injuries and pain like backaches, stiff joints and the like. For neck pain, we sometimes will use at full strength. For many users, relief is reported as nearly immediate (though this depends on how deep within the body the damage tissues are and how old the injury might be) and more profound than products which simply mask the pain. For further support for inflamed areas, 1% German Chamomile can be included.
Helichrysum is the only essential oil found to contain certain di-ketones, which may support wound healing and scar reduction. It is suitable for wound healing and for scars, resulting either from accidents, surgery or acne. It may be especially effective when combined with Rose Hip Seed oil. The triple unsaturated fatty acids may strengthen the cell membranes and, combined with the regenerative qualities of Everlasting, can heal wounds with little or no scarring. The following combination is suggested Schnaubelt’s ‘Advanced Aromatherapy’: 2ml Helichrysum essential oil and 1ml Sea Buckthorn essential oil in 15ml Rose Hip Seed Oil and 15ml Tamanu oil; for ‘old’ scars, use 2ml Helichrysum, 1ml Sea Buckthorn, and 1ml Sage OR Rosemary Verbenone essential oil in the same base. We also highly recommend Calendula essential oil for wound healing; there is a large body of scientific evidence this oil has strong tissue healing properties, and should synergize excellently with Helichrysum.
Helichrysum oil may provide relief of joint pain for individuals with arthritic conditions, with potential significant anti-inflammatory action. Many folks use if for general stiff, painful and tight musculature as well. A recent customer had this to say about this oil: “Just a note of thanks for the speedy delivery and the great product. You can add TMJ/facial pain to uses list…which is how I’ve been using it. I mixed the 5ml bottle in a 2oz bottle of organic jojoba and am applying to TMJ muscles and neck (also chest)…also have experienced many interesting spirit/emotional ‘releases’…this stuff works wonders”.
Helichrysum may be of support for peripheral nerve-related conditions; it can be applied in 5-20% dilution to areas of numbness or tingling. It has been indicated by some users for support with symptoms of tinnitus: drop on a cotton ball, placed in the ear while sleeping each night for two weeks) and other forms of hearing loss or damage.
This essential oil contains anti-inflammatory sesquiterpene hydrocarbons – this compound acts by dissipating free radicals. Helichrysum essential oil’s other major components include neryl acetate, a monoterpenoid ester with distinct, relaxing effects that may reduce tension of the tissues in the area of the injury. The third major component are the regenerative di-ketones, found in significant quantities only in Helichrysum oil. “The pain- reducing, analgesic, and regenerative effect of everlasting (Helichrysum) is unique: If applied in time, it prevents hemorrhaging. It is also very effective for joint pain…” – Dr. Kurt Schnaubelt, Advanced Aromatherapy.
The oil is also thought to be a strong chelator, supporting liver function and potentially drawing heavy metals and toxins out of the body. It is noted as one of, if not THE, most effective detoxification supporting essential oils by Battaglia in ‘The Complete Guide to Aromatherapy’. A strong dilution can be used (1:1 in coconut oil, for example) and massaged twice per day into the feet. The reflex points of the feet corresponding to the liver may be of greatest help in this process.
The aroma is thought to uplift the subconscious, and can be used in a diffuser if desired. It is thought to be a releaser of Qi (Chi), unblocking and regulating this essential energy in the body. It may help individuals that are emotionally blocked, dispersing more deeply embedded repression. At its most transformative, Helichrysum oil may assist in untying the deepest of emotional knots, restoring freedom and compassion to the eternal soul.

BL: Dr. Smits, several of my colleagues have told me that when they get stuck with a case, they often find that the patient needs one of your Inspiring Homeopathy remedies. How are these remedies different?
TS: At the individual layer everybody needs his individual remedy, caused by emotional afflictions, vaccination or allopathic drugging. Homeopathic treatment on the individual level can be initially successful for some time. I have noted a frequent phenomenon: the treatment starts well but doesn’t advance anymore and no remedy seems at any advantage. It gives the impression that there is no way to go deeper into the energy of the patient.
I found the solution with Inspiring Homeopathy. Once the patient arrives at the universal layer, only seven remedies are needed. They are the best ones to help the patient evolve to deeper awareness and more stability in both physical and emotional, mental and spiritual health. The seven universal layers are lack of self-confidence, affective problems, incarnation problems, lack of boundaries, old traumas (victim problems), guilt for what we have done to our fellow humans (our perpetrator side) and duality, the last obstacle to our unification with our higher self, our soul.
At this level only a few remedies are needed. We made two new remedies: Carcinosin cum Cuprum, a combination of these two remedies because I noticed their symptoms overlap; and Vernix caseosa, made from the substance that covers a newborn baby. Also a new remedy from mother’s milk was prepared, Lac maternum, from the milk of several women at different stages of breastfeeding.
The Inspiring Homeopathy remedies are Carcinosinum,Carcinosinum cum Cuprum, and Cuprum metallicum; Saccharum officinale; Lac maternum; Vernix caseosa; Rhus toxicodendron; Anacardium orientale; and Hydrogenium.
BL: Dr. Smits, what is your current success rate with autistic children?
TS: The whole process of healing takes between 1 to 3 years normally. Now I have the first group of completely healed children. Hundreds more are on the way with 50% to 80% or more of their symptoms healing already. It is a step by step process.
This whole approach has been baptized as CEASE therapy, which means Complete Eradication of Autistic Spectrum Expression. Yes, homeopathy has the answers and soon certified homeopathic practitioners will be educated to apply this method all over the world to heal the millions of disabled children. This method applies not only to autism but also to ADHD, aggressive behavior and all other kinds of behavioral and developmental problems. Even in adult cases this method is working nicely. This year a pilot study will be done by a psychiatrist and then a real research study will be done to confirm the efficiency of this approach.
BL: Can classical homeopathy alone cure autism?
TS: After my experience with 300 cases I came to the conclusion that detoxifying autistic children with isotherapy is necessary for complete healing. Isotherapy means using homeopathic preparations of the different factors that caused the autism (pharmaceutical drugs, vaccinations, environmental toxins). Autism has multiple causative factors.
Autistic children don’t suffer from one vaccine or one drug, but from an accumulation of different disturbances. With isotherapy I was able to find out where we have to focus our treatment. 70% proved to be due to vaccines, 25% to other regular medication and 5% to diseases.
The detoxification of these conditions combined with certain supplements such as Vitamin C, zinc, magnesium and fish oil (omega-3 fatty acids) plus eventually the help of classical homeopathy can bring the patient to complete healing. This method works in any case, except when the brain of the child has been damaged by encephalopathy, meningitis or severe epilepsy. Then complete healing is not possible any more. The method is not working either when important information about the causations is missed.
I consider that isotherapy here has to be the main treatment, focused on the causations and that classical homeopathy has its place as adjuvant therapy. With classical homeopathy alone I have rarely seen complete healings. Its results are too unstable to claim that classical homeopathy has the answers to the scourge of autism that ravages the future generations.
Another advantage of isotherapy is also that it gives us valuable information about which substances are toxic and which are not. In this way I discovered that a simple nasal spray with xylomathazolin can cause autism (because a child whose mother had used the nasal spray when pregnant had dramatic improvement when the nasal spray was detoxified with isotherapy). I discovered also that vaccines are not the only causation of autism whether the most important one.
BL: Do you find that classical homeopathy alone is sufficient for most of your other patients?
TS: Many cases can be treated with classical homeopathy alone, but there are so many toxic substances in our modern society that homeopathy has to adapt itself also to this new situation and has to focus more on causations. I have seen the difference between Holland and Nepal. Nepal is still a country where people live a more natural life apart from vaccinations. Classical homeopathy is much more efficient there than in Holland.
I believe a step by step approach will be more and more necessary in the future for homeopathy to keep pace with our changing society. Step by step, means clearing one vaccination or toxic substance at a time in the 30c-200c-1M-10M course, also doing classical homeopathy, Inspiring Homeopathy and supplements.
BL: Can you briefly describe your vaccine clearing protocol?
TS: When a certain substance is suspected to have contributed to the development of autism, this substance can be given in homeopathic potencies. For example, in a case where the MMR vaccination is suspected, we prescribe MMR in C30, C200, 1M and 10M to remove the possible imprint that the MMR vaccine has left, especially in the brain. Each potency is administered twice in one week so that one course takes four weeks.
BL: How do you know when a patient has Post Vaccination Syndrome?
TS: To know if a patient has a post vaccination syndrome you have to realize when the problems started and if there is another plausible reason for the patient to become ill. Some homeopaths (and almost all medical doctors) make the mistake of supposing that if the child did not have adverse reactions immediately after the vaccines, then there is no vaccination damage. Vaccination problems can start insidiously without any post vaccination aggravation.
The proof of vaccination damage can only come from the detoxification with the different potencies of the vaccine itself! If the vaccine clearing is effective in removing the symptoms, then they must have been caused by vaccine damage.

Castor oil topical application
Studies Support Castor Oil’s Efficacy as an Antimicrobial, Anti-Inflammatory, and Immunostimulant
Thanks to mercola.com for this data
While castor oil has been thoroughly investigated for its industrial use, only a minimal amount of research has been directed toward its medicinal benefits. That said, the healing properties of castor oil appear to have survived countless generations of scrutiny.
I believe it has enough history behind it to at least warrant greater scientific exploration, and perhaps a little careful at-home experimentation on your own. Oftentimes, modern day scientific studies end up validating thousands of years of “folklore.” Castor oil studies are hard to track down, but I did find a few notable ones, which I have summarized in the table below.
1.Castor oil has been found to have a strong suppressive effect on some tumors.
2.An Indian study in 2011 found that castor leaf extract showed better antibacterial activity against both Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria than Gentamycin (their standard for comparison).xii
3.A 2010 study found that castor oil packs were an effective means of decreasing constipation in the elderly.xii
4.This 2009 study found that castor oil effectively relieves arthritis symptoms.xiii
5.A 1999 studyxiv was carried out to determine whether or not topical castor oil would stimulate the lymphatic system. The findings were positive. After a two-hour treatment with castor oil packs, there was a significant increase in the number of T-11 cells, which increased over a seven-hour period following treatment.
6.In this 2000 studyxv of the effects of ricinoleic acid on inflammation, researchers found it exerted “capsaicin-like” antiinflammatory properties.
7.Patients with occupational dermatitis may have a positive reaction to castor oil or ricinoleic acid.xvi
Castor Oil May Promote Healing by Boosting Your Lymphatic System
One of the more compelling health benefits, if true, is castor oil’s support of your immune system. And this healing property does not require you ingest the oil, but only apply it externally.
The benefits of castor oil packs were popularized by the late psychic healer Edgar Cayce, and then later researched by primary care physician William McGarey of Phoenix, Arizona, a follower of Cayce’s work and the author of The Oil That Heals. McGarey reported that, when used properly, castor oil packs improve the function of your thymus gland and other components of your immune system. More specifically, he found in two separate studies that patients using abdominal castor oil packs had significant increases in lymphocyte production compared to placebo packs.
Lymphocytes are your immune system’s disease-fighting cells and are produced and stored mainly in your lymphatic tissuexvii (thymus gland, spleen, and lymph nodes). Hundreds of miles of lymphatic tubules allow waste to be collected from your tissues and transported to your blood for elimination, a process referred to as lymphatic drainage. When your lymphatic system is not working properly, waste and toxins can build up and make you sick.
Lymphatic congestion is a major factor leading to inflammation and disease.
This is where castor oil comes in. When castor oil is absorbed through your skin (according to Cayce and McGarey), your lymphocyte count increases. Increased lymphocytes speed up the removal of toxins from your tissues, which promotes healing.
Castor Oil Packs a Punch, Topically
Castor oil “packs” can be an economical and efficient method of infusing the ricinoleic acid and other healing components of castor oil directly into your tissues. You would be wise to do a “patch test” prior to applying a castor oil pack to make sure you aren’t allergic to the oil.
There are several ways to use castor oil topically. You can simply rub castor oil onto an affected area of your skin. Or, you can affix a Band-Aide soaked in castor oil if only a very small area needs to be treated. For larger or more systemic applications, it can be used as massage oil, which is reported especially effective when applied along your spinal column, massaged along your lymphatic drainage pathways. But the coup de grace of castor oil therapy is the “castor oil pack.”
To make a castor oil pack, you will need the following supplies:
1.High quality cold-pressed castor oil (see last section of this article)
2.A hot water bottle or heating pad
3.Plastic wrap, sheet of plastic, or plastic garbage bag
4.Two or three one-foot square pieces of wool or cotton flannel, or one piece large enough to cover the entire treatment area when folded in thirds
5.One large old bath towel
Below are instructions for making and using a castor oil pack (courtesy of Daniel H. Chong, ND):
•Fold flannel three layers thick so it is still large enough to fit over your entire upper abdomen and liver, or stack the three squares.
•Soak flannel with the oil so that it is completely saturated. The oil should be at room temperature.
•Lie on your back with your feet elevated (using a pillow under your knees and feet works well), placing flannel pack directly onto your abdomen; cover oiled flannel with the sheet of plastic, and place the hot water bottle on top of the plastic.
•Cover everything with the old towel to insulate the heat. Take caution not to get the oil on whatever you are laying on, as it can stain. If necessary, cover that surface with something to protect it.
•Leave pack on for 45 to 60 minutes.
•When finished, remove the oil from your skin by washing with a solution of two tablespoons of baking soda to one quart water, or just soap and water. (Be sure to wash the towel by itself, as the castor oil can make other clothes stink if washed together.)
•You can reuse the pack several times, each time adding more oil as needed to keep the pack saturated. Store the pack in a large zip-lock bag or other plastic container in a convenient location, such as next to your bed. Replace the pack after it begins to change color.
•For maximum effectiveness, apply at least four consecutive days per week for one month. Patients who use the pack daily report the most benefits.
Be Cautious when Purchasing Castor Oil
As with everything else, you must be careful about your source of castor oil. Much of the oil currently sold in stores is derived from castor seeds that have been heavily sprayed with pesticides, solvent-extracted (hexane is commonly used), deodorized, or otherwise chemically processed, which damages beneficial phytonutrients and may even contaminate the oil with toxic agents.
historical manipulation of disease and vaccine data
Historical Manipulation thanks to http://www.vaccinesuncensored.org
The claim that vaccination has wiped out deadly scourges has reached legendary status. But are these claims backed by historical records or do they represent the most deceptive and successful public relations coup in the history of the medical industrial complex? And if vaccines-and not better sanitation etc. – saved humanity from disease, then where are today’s epidemic of Scarlet Fever victims for which no vaccine was ever administered? *** It is also imperative to understand that the definition + diagnosis of polio was dramatically changed when the polio vaccine was introduced, further manipulating statistics. For an overview of this critically pertinent information see: http://www.thinktwice.com
“The ‘victory over epidemics’ was not won by medical science or by doctors – and certainly not by vaccines… The decline has been the result of technical, social and hygienic improvement.”
Gerhard Buchwald MD, Internal Medicine Specialist,Germany
“This history that has been cooked up to convince people that vaccines are safe and effective…The decline of disease was due to improve living conditions: cleaner water, advance sewage systems, nutrition a decrease in poverty. Germs may be everywhere but when you are really healthy, you don’t contact disease as easily.”
Mark Randall, (pseudonym) former NIH Researcher and Vaccine Developer in interview with investigative reporter, Jon Rappoport
“I went to the Office for National Statistics and got out all the old books when public records began to be kept in 1837 and wrote down the mortality figures for the diseases against which we vaccinate. I was shocked to discover that vaccines hadn’t made the great impact that I had been led to believe with graphs starting a few years before the vaccines were introduced. INSTEAD of showing the figures from fifty or a hundred years before when you would see that 95-99% of the reduction from measles, for example, already before vaccines were introduced.”
Jayne Donegan, MBBS DRGOG, DCH, DFFP
“The charts plotted by the epidemiologist McKeown should humble scientists and lead them to look into the question of health from a holistic point of view. He showed how improvement of environmental conditions by reformers in Britian during the sanitary revolution of the nineteenth century led to effective controls of several major diseases like TB, colera and whooping cough in the absence of conventional biomedical tools.”
Norshir Antia MD, Surgeon, India, ‘A Life of Change, The Autobiography of a Doctor’
From 1900-1935 before the pertussis vaccine was introduced the death rate from pertussis in the United States and England had already declined on its own by 79% and 82% respectively.
International Mortality Statistics
Figures published in International Mortality Statistics confirm that from 1915-1958 the measles death rate in the U.S. and U.K. declined by 98% (five years before the creation of the measles vaccine)
“We were told repeatedly that Professor Ramous toxoid ‘practically wiped out diptheria’ in Britain, yet compulsory use at the same time in France showed very different results. In Britain with mass inoculations there was an increase in cases and deaths of several months, but in France with compulsory inoculations, the increases were much greater and lasted for many years.”
Lionel Dole, ‘The Blood Poisoners’
The New Zealand Government’s statistics show that the average death rate per 10,000 fell from 6.08 to 0.20 before the use of diphtheria vaccine.
Southland Time 30-Sep-1998
The most phenomenal accomplishments in tuberculosis eradication have been achieved where little or no B.C.G. (vaccine) has been used, including in Iceland Hawaii and the Netherlands.

Smallpox Vaccine: Responsibe for Eradication or Epidemics?
“It is pathetic and ludicrous to say we ever vanquished smallpox with vaccines, when only 10% of the population was ever vaccinated.”
Dr. Glen Dettman PhD, Australia
“There is no question but that perfect sanitation has almost obliterated this disease (smallpox) and sooner or later will dispose of it entirely. Of course when that time comes, in all probability the credit will be given to vaccination.”
John Tilden MD (1851-1940)
“I have thought many times of all the insane things that we have advocated in medicine – one of the most insane – to insist on the vaccination of children or anybody else for the prevention of smallpox, when as a matter of fact, we are never able to prove vaccination saved one man from smallpox.”
Dr. William Howard Hay (1866-1940), New York Practitioner
“Smallpox was on the way out, indeed epidemics disappeared decades before the World Health Organization decided to conduct the final “eradication” campaign. It is also well-documented that the largest epidemics occurred in the most highly vaccinated populations, while the unvaccinated did not have the same epidemics.”
Viera Scheibner, PhD, Scientific Researcher and Author
“If vaccines are so effective in preventing disease why have epidemics occurred around the world following mass vaccination programs? In the Philippines for example, “after ten years of compulsory inoculation against smallpox (25 million shots) over 170,000 got smallpox and 75,000 deaths were recorded between 1911 and 1920″”
from the Townsend Letter for Doctors article “Are Vaccines Generally Detrimental to the Human Defence System” Feb/Mar 1994
“Early in this century, the Philippines experienced their worst smallpox ever after people received 24.5 million vaccine doses.”
Dr. William Howard Hay, Address to Medicial Freedom Society, 6/25/37
“From the time in which smallpox was practically eradicated in the city of Manila, to the year 1918 (about nine years) in which the epidemic appears – certainly in one of its severest forms – hundreds after hundreds of thousands were yearly vaccinated, with the most unfortunate result that the 1918 epidemic looks, prima facie, as a flagrant failure of the classic immunization towards future Epidemics.”
Report of the Public Health Service 1920 (discussing smallpox in Manila)
“Since the passing of the Compulsory Vaccination Act in (Britain) 1853 we have had no less than three distinct epidemics. In 1857-9. We had more than 14,000 deaths from small pox. In the 1863-5 epidemic the deaths increased to 20,000 and in the 1871-2 they totaled up to 44,800.”
Walter Hadwen MD, MRCS LRCP, LSA
“In the Cologne epidemic of 1870, 173 vaccinated persons were attacked before the first unvaccinated one. In Liegnite in 1871, the first unvaccinated to suffer was 225th on the list.”
William T. Collins MD, MRCS 1883
“How is it that smallpox is five times as likely to be fatal in the vaccinated as in the unvaccinated? How is it that in some of our most highly vaccinated towns, smallpox is rife whilst in some of our most poorly vaccinated towns such as Leicester, it is almost unknown? How is it that something like 80% of the cases admitted into the Metropolitan Board Smallpox Hospital have been vaccinated, whilst only 20% have not been vaccinated.”
Dr. L. Parry, British Medical Journal, 1/21/28
“Millions of people died of smallpox which they contracted after being vaccinated.”
J. W. Hodge, ‘The Vaccine Superstition’
“At present, intelligent people do not have their children vaccinated. The result is not, as the Jennerians prophesied the extermination of the human race by smallpox, on the contrary more people are now killed by vaccinations than by smallpox.”
George Bernard Shaw, The Irish Times, 8/9/44

Smallpox Vaccine and VIDS
“I am convinced that 80% of these cancer deaths are caused by the smallpox vaccinations.”
Dr. Herbert Snow, Surgeon, London Cancer Hospital
“I have studied the question of vaccination conscientiously for 45 years…As a preventative of disease, there is not a scrap of evidence in its favour. The injection of virus into the bloodstream does not prevent smallpox, rather, it tends to increase its epidemics, and it makes the disease more deadly.”…Cancer mortality has increased from 9 per 100,000 or fully 900% increase within the past 50 years, and no conceivable thing could have caused this increase but the universal blood poisoning now existing.”
Dr. Charles E. Page, Boston Practitioner
“In looking over the history of vaccination for smallpox, I am amazed to learn of the terrible deaths from vaccination which necessitated amputation of arms and legs and caused tetanus…and cerebro-spinal meningitis.”

Startling Admissions from the “Authorities”
“There can be no doubt that vaccination was a definite causal factor and no chance coincidence” Data confirming encephalomyelitis following smallpox vaccination.”
Lancet, September & October 1926
“It is now accepted that the risks of routine smallpox vaccination outweigh those of natural infection.”
British Medical Journal 1/5/76
“Immunization against smallpox is more hazardous than the disease itself.”
Ari Zuckerman, Advisory Panel, World Health Organization
“Primary smallpox immunization of persons with subclinical HIV disease poses a risk of vaccine-induced disease and multiple immunizations may accelerate the progress of HIV disease. This case raises concern about the ultimate safety of vaccinia-based vaccine in developing countries…”

Vaccine Induced Paralysis
“In regions in which there is no organized vaccination of the population, general paralysis is rare…”
JAMA, July 1926
“Around the turn of the 20th century, people began reporting paralytic illness AFTER the smallpox vaccination. By the 1920s, infantile paralysis (later renamed polio) began to emerge as an important new disease that often afflicted the limb that had been vaccinated. And later when…vaccines gained widespread use, illness and paralytic episodes following vaccination became common knowledge…”
Edda West, Polio Perspectives, Vaccine Risk Awareness Network
“One soldier… told me that the army hospitals were filled with cases of infantile paralysis and he wondered why a grown man should have an infant disease. Now, we know that paralysis is a common after-effect of vaccine Poisoning. those at home didn’t get the paralysis until after the world-wide vaccination campaign in 1918.”
Eleanor McBean PhD, author of ‘The Poisoned Needle’
A study published in 1992 validated earlier findings. Children who received DPT injections were significantly more likely than controls to get paralytic poliomyelitis within the next 30 days…”This study confirmed that injections are an important cause of provocative poliomyelitis.”

The Polio Vaccine: A Public Relations Coup
“There was too much Hollywood, too much exaggeration and the impression given was that polio had been conquered.”
Dr. Albert Sabin, Developer of the Oral Polio vaccine
“A spokesman for Park Davis which made 50% of the Salk vaccine said ‘now that it’s been declared safe’ we can get back the millions invested I the Salk vaccine and make a profit out of it. Our company will make over $10,000,000 on the Salk vaccine.”

Polio Stats: Vaccine Miracle of Medical Manipulation?
From 1923 to 1953 before the Salk killed virus vaccine was introduced, the polio death rate in the United States and England had already declined on its own by 47% and 55% respectively.
International Mortality Statistics
“Official data shows that large scale vaccination has failed to obtain any significant improvement of the diseases against which they were supposed to provide protection.”
Dr. Albert Sabin, Developer of the Oral Polio vaccine
“Prior to 1954 any physician who reported paralytic poliomyelitis was doing his patient a service by way of subsidizing the cost of hospitalization… two examinations at least twenty-four hours apart was all that was required… In 1955 the criteria were changed …residual paralysis was determined ten to twenty days after onset of illness and again fifty to seventy days after onset…This change In definition meant that in 1955, we started reporting a new disease… Furthermore, diagnostic procedures have continued to be Re-defined. Cocksackie virus infections and aseptic meningitis have been distinguished from poliomyelitis…Thus simply in the Change of diagnosis criteria, the number of paralytic cases was pre-deterrmined to decrease.”
Dr. Bernard Greenberg, Chairman of the Committee on Evaluation & Standards of The American Policy Health Association during 1950s testifying before Congressional Hearings, 1962
“After vaccination was introduced, cases of aseptic meningitis were reported as a separate disease from polio, but such were counted as polio before the vaccine was introduced. The Ministry of Health admitted that the vaccine status of the individual is a guiding factor in diagnosis…If a person who is vaccinated contracts the disease, the disease is simply recorded under a different name…Those who contracted polio after the first inoculation were placed on the non-inoculated list…It’s obvious that this practice of screening statistics, apparently in order to suppress facts unfavourable to immunization, invalidates most of the evidence brought forward by the supporters of immunization.”
Maurice Meadow Bayly MRCS, LRCP, ‘The Case Against Vaccination’
“Go to your library and ask to see the United States Poliio Surveillance Unit’s bulletins from 1955 to 1970. They will be ‘missing’. Every single medical library in the U.S. that were checked out for me and in New Zealand (and possibly other countries) has them listed as “missing.” There is only one place you can see them, as far as I know and that’s at the MMA’s library , and they are listed as having top security clearance requirement to see..Why might this be? When he was alive Dr. Ratner had copies of them at this home. He gave me many of the years’ data I wanted. They clearly showed from the inception of the Salk vaccine, to its discontinuation, the vaccine had a MINUS efficacy and was actually causing more polio in the vaccinated than the unvaccinated… Any studious person looking at government stats in retrospect, would be able to easily see that the political and media canonization of Salk and his vaccine was a mirage of duplicity upon duplicity.”

The Polio Vaccine- The Unreported Disasters
“The U.S.P.H.S. reported that more children who received the Salk vaccine made by Wyeth Labs suffered polio than could normally be expected.”
Washington Bureau of the Detroit Free Press, 6/13/55
“In 1957, a spokesman for the North Carolina Health Department made glowing claims for the efficacy of the Salk vaccine, showing how polio steadily decrease from 1953 to 1957. Hi figures were challenged by Dr. Fred Klenner who pointed out that it wasn’t until 1955 that a single person in the state received a polio vaccine injection. Even then injections were administered on a limited basis because of the number of polio cases resulting from the vaccine. It wasn’t until 1956 that a single person in the state received a polio vaccine Even then injections were administered on a limited basis because of the number of polio cases resulting from the vaccine. It wasn’t until 1956 that polio vaccinations assumed inspired proportion. The 61% drop in polio cases in 1954 was credited to the Salk vaccine when it wasn’t even in the state. By 1957 polio was on the increase.”
Dr. Walene James, ‘Immunization: The Reality Behind the Myth’
“Doctors and scientists on the staff of the National Institutes of Health during the 1950s were all aware that the Salk vaccine was causing polio. Some frankly stated that it was ‘worthless as a preventative and dangerous to take.’ They refused to vaccinate their own children. Health departments banned the inoculation. The Idaho State Health Director angrily declared ‘I hold Salk vaccine and its manufacturers responsible ‘for a polio outbreak that several killed Idahoans and hospitalized dozens more…”
‘Vaccines: Are They really Safe and Effective’, N. Miller citing ‘The Poisoned needle’ and data taken from government statistics as reported
“Where compulsory vaccination was practiced as in North Carolina and Tenesse, Bealle’s investigations report a 400% increase in paralytic and non-paralytic polio during 1959 over 1958.”

“I got a phone call… This was the health officer of the city of Los Angeles and he said they just got two reports of polio in sime children who had been vaccinated days earlier.”
James Shannon, then Associate Director, National Institute of Health
“English authorities have cancelled the Salk vaccine program as too dangerous.”
Herbert Ratner MD Editor, Bulletin of Public Health Officials
“The Salk vaccine failed completely and the Sabin vaccine was a disaster. It caused many cases of polio and showed no relationship to the disease except for an increase in polio during the early 60′s caused by the vaccine itself.”

“When you inoculate children with a polio vaccine you don’t sleep well for two or three weeks.”
Dr. Jonas Salk, Developer of the Killed Virus Polio Vaccine

Washington Post 9/ 24/76
“According to the CDC, 133 people contracted polio between 1980 and 1994. A total of 125 of those cases or an average of eight per year were caused directly by the oral polio vaccine, which consists of a live but weakened virus, the CDC said.”
Associated Press, 1/ 20/97

“In 1983, via new legislation, DDT was allowed back into the U.S. marketplaces but only in pesticide blends. Within only a few months of this re-entry, a new kind of polio epidemic re-emerged labeled “post-polio”…this correlation is not even a whisper in the mainstream media…Central nervous system diseases continue: acute flaccid paralysis, chronic fatigue syndrome, encephalitis, meningitis, muscular sclerosis.”

“In 1954 Dr. Bernice Eddy (bacteriologist) discovered live monkey viruses in supposedly sterile inactivated polio vaccine developed by Jonas Salk. This discovery was not well received by the National Institute of Health and Dr. Eddy was demoted. Later, Dr. Maurice Hilleman ( then chief vaccine developer, Merck) isolated SV 40 virus from both the Salk and Sabin polio vaccines… It has now been identified in 43% of cases of non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma, 36% of brain tumours…”
Dr. James Howenstine, MD, ‘Why You Should Avoid Taking Vaccines’
“Bernice Eddy lost her labs pursuing and espousing the truth. Her treatment scandalized the scientific community and resulted in a U.S. Senate investigation during which she warned legislators that unless the vaccine contamination problems was addressed, slow monkey viruses would simply deliver human cancer epidemics around the world.”

“I think to release certain information prematurely is not a public service. There is too much scaring the public unnecessarily. Oh, your children were injected by a cancer virus.”
Albert Sabin, Developer of the Oral Polio Vaccine
“Within a few years of the polio vaccine we started seeing some strange phenomena like the year before the first 300,000 doses were given in the United States childhood leukemia had never struck children under the age of two. One year after the first onslaught they had the first cases of children under the age of two that died of leukemia…Dr. Herbert Radnor observed that in a small area of this little town, in an area where no cases of leukemia had been expected or at the most one in 4 years according to previous statistics, they suddenly had a rash like epidemic within a few blocks.”
Eva Snead MD, San Antonio, Texas

The Polio Vaccine: Other Consequences
“Studies have shown that while the oral polio vaccine contains three strains of polio virus, a fourth strain can be cultured from the faeces of vaccine recipients. This indicates that viruses have recombined and formed a new strain in the process of vaccination.”
Virology, 1993
“A sixteen month old boy hospitalized for high fever and paralysis had never received any poliovirus vaccine … From playing and sharing a bed with his cousin, he apparently contracted poliomyelitis from the cousin who received Typ-2 oral poliovirus thirty-three days before. Virological and serological investigation revealed a vaccine-like strain of Type-2 poliovirus.”

“Modern genetics has confirmed the genetic similarity between polio viruses, coxsackie and another group called the echol viruses. Before the advent of the Salk and Sabin vaccines, there were only three polio-like disease…When the coxsackie viruses first isolated from Chronic Fatigue Syndrome patients, it wasn’t realized we were simply dealing with a new a new form of polio…”
William Campbell Douglas MD ‘Chronic Fatigue Syndrome: The Hidden Polio Epidemic’ Second Opinion Newsletter…
“And now we have the sensational findings from the Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences, which strongly indicate that polio did not go away at all, but now manifests itself as chronic fatigue syndrome…When Coxsackie viruses were first isolated from CFS patients, it wasn’t realized that we were simply dealing with a new form of polio. This new polio was caused by the replacement of the polio viruses with their brothers, the Coxsackie viruses. As the researchers didn’t get the connection at first, these new polio cases were labeled “post-polio syndrome”, “chronic fatigue syndrome” and myalgic encephalomyelitis.”

Lupus and HOmeopathy
A holisticHomeopathic approach to Lupus
In conditions of this kind, where almost every organ and system may be affected, a holistic approach will always give the best results. The homeopathic approach involves taking account of “all” symptoms, physical, emotional and mental, and thus is well suited to treating a multisystem disease such as lupus.
> Rest and relaxation
Lupus can be exacerbated by stress and it is very important to lead a balanced life with a protected time built into each day for rest and relaxation
> Diet
A diet may be helpful in reducing joint pains and inflammation and will certainly improve overall health and wellbeing. There is some evidence to suggest that fish oil supplements may be useful.
Health and homeopathy
George Vithoulkas, the eminent Greek homeopath, describes levels of health. A person whose health is in the uppermost level will experience no symptoms and enjoy perfect health and happiness. As we descend the levels, minor often self-limiting symptoms will develop. These are caused by exposure to environmental influences like viruses or stress. The immune system is able to deal with this and the symptoms resolve spontaneously. At this stage there is merely dysfunction of the organs and the body heals itself. Moving further down the levels, symptoms develop which don’t disappear and chronic disease takes hold. Good homeopathic prescribing on a constitutional level can prevent this deterioration in health.
Constitutional treatment
Individuals can be classified according to the characteristic reaction patterns of body. For example, somebody who has a phosphoric constitution will experience pain as a burning sensation. These individuals are very anxious and indeed may become overwhelmed and “burnt out” by their anxieties.
Thus a Phosphorus patient who develops lupus will have a tremendous anxiety about her health, will be very fearful, especially when alone and is particularly frightened of thunderstorms. The pains in her joints and muscles will be described as “burning”. Pain in other parts of the body (eg migrainous headaches) will also have a burning quality.
A patient with a Nux vomica constitution will experience the same disease in a very different way. She is usually a very driven ambitious person who may lie awake at night worrying about her business affairs, and will become very angry and frustrated with her illness. Typically, relapses in the condition will follow periods of overworking and stress. Joint pains will be worse at night in bed, worse for cold and better for warmth.
A Pulsatilla patient will again present a different picture. She will be a soft gentle person who weeps easily and may be particularly tearful during flare-ups. She will require lots of comforting and consolation. One of the main characteristics of Pulsatilla is “changeability” and the aches and pains of lupus may be experienced as throbbing one day and stabbing the next.
The constitutional approach is usually the most effective when treating a multisystem disease such as lupus.
Local remedies
Flare-ups of lupus may affect different parts and organs at different times, and homeopathic remedies may be very useful in alleviating symptoms.
> Joint pains:
A large number of homeopathic remedies can help joint pains:
Aconite: sudden severe joint pains which may occur following exposure to a cold dry wind. Hot tender joints.
Apis: hot swollen red inflamed joints. Relieved by cold applications.
Bryonia: sharp stitching joint and muscle pain worse with even the slightest movement.
Dulcamara: joint pains occurring in cold damp weather, better with heat and motion.
Rhus tox: painful stiff joints, worse with initial movement (eg on rising from bed), better with continued motion.
Rhododendron: joint pain worse in wet weather, especially before a storm.
Ruta: stiff painful joints and tendons especially following overuse. Worse from cold and damp.
> Skin
Homeopathic medicines can be used to treat the cutaneous manifestations of lupus.
Apis: red burning rashes, often associated with fluid retention and swelling (oedema). Better from cold applications.
Fluoric acid: hair loss especially alopecia areata.
Sepia: yellow/brown “saddle” across the bridge of the nose.
Sulphur: red itchy rashes. Worse with heat, especially the heat of the bed at night. Worse at night. Worse for bathing.
> Lungs
Pleurisy may develop during flare-up of lupus. The following remedies may be useful in helping to control the pain.
Aconite: sudden onset of sharp pains, especially after fright or shock. Worse after exposure to cold dry wind.
Bryonia: stitching pains (such as found in pleurisy) worse from the slightest movement.
> Migraine
Many homeopathic remedies are helpful in the treatment of these headaches.
Belladonna: intense throbbing head pains beginning in the right occiput and extending forwards to the right eye. Worse at 3.00pm. Worse with any jarring. Better lying still in a dark room.
Natrum muriaticum: bursting pain, sometimes described as a small hammer in one spot. Worse around 10.00am. Aggravated by sunlight.
Spigelia: stitching neuralgic pain on the left side in or above the left eye. Better with heat or hot bathing.
The cause of autoimmune disease remains unclear but the incidence and prevalence of these illnesses is clearly rising. This rise is mirrored by the increasing occurence of atopic diseases such as asthma and eczema. Studies have shown that the use of antibiotics in the first twelve months of a child’s life can lead to a threefold increase in the risk of developing asthma. Is it possible that the drive to minimise our exposure and risk from infectious diseases is actually leaving our immune systems with nothing to do other than attack our own organs?

Isopathists
Isopathists
Author Peter Morrell
A very good measure of the attitude among homeopaths can be gained by considering their view of isopathy, higher potencies, nosodes and the miasm theory, because these topics have tended to clearly demarcate those of a more spiritual disposition from the materialists, and therefore also reveals the “intraprofessional tensions over what constitutes proper homeopathic practice.” [57] Isopathy, or “the cure of diseases by their own morbid products or the supposed exciting causes, are, far from being a novelty, on the contrary of very ancient date.” [58] Dudgeon [1820-1904] is in no doubt that “the honour of having introduced isopathic heresies into the homeopathic school…[falls upon] our transatlantic friend Dr Constantine Hering,” [59] who, according to Dudgeon, simply raked isopathy “up from the dust and rubbish of antiquity…much encouraged by Gross and systematised by Lux.” [60] Yet, other homeopaths took a far more generous view: “the indispensable curative service of the products of disease…safely administered in sickness.” [61] “for the past five years I have regularly used the bacillus virus as part of my daily practice…with great satisfaction;” [62] “I think very highly of Koch’s remedy…I use it in high potency…” [63] In particular, it was claimed, nosodes could be used to neutralise old internalised illness states [dyscrasias] or remove invisible ‘taints’ that prevent ordinary remedies from working: “the nosode has removed the miasmatic block,” [64]. Then “the remedy will work again after the block is removed with a nosode,” [65]. This much at least is the empirical observation of those who use them in clinical practice: nosodes were not so well proven as “well-known polychrests…but have been so successful;” [66] their use “depends more on clinical experience…[which has] accumulated for many years and has been checked by the experience of so many practitioners that it is considered trustworthy.” [67]
Yet, Dudgeon denounces isopathists outright as “homeopathic heretics distinguished for the eccentricity of their aberrations.” [68] By not exactly mincing his words on such people, which reveals his abhorrence for that type of person, this exposes him as a ‘non-believer’ in miasms, who poured nothing but scorn on the entire theory. Leading British homeopaths, Robert Dudgeon and Richard Hughes [1836-1902], “were ‘pathological prescribers’, their ideas contrasting with those of Frederic Quin,” [69] who mostly used the 30c potency, like Hahnemann. [70] The low-potency pathological approach dominated early British homeopathy, c.1830-1870. As a Hughesian homeopath, a 3x man, Dudgeon also poured scorn on any potency above 6x. Dudgeon’s colourful and emotive language arguably show that he was almost an allopath, unable to conceive of anything beyond the rather rigid ideas at the core of homeopathy – single drug, similars, and small doses, provings. One of Hahnemann’s star pupils [Clemens von Boenninghausen], who had little patience for low-potency types like Dudgeon, called them “amphibians…neither homeopaths nor allopaths…giving low dilutions in frequent repetition.” [71] Such a quote echoes Hahnemann himself when he said: “the converted are only hybrids, amphibians.” [72]Such tensions between the “genuine homeopaths and the pretenders,” [73] were soon to grow.
Detesting signatures, woolly or vaguely spiritual concepts, Dudgeon’s protestations reveal a desire to cling doggedly on to a tidy image of homeopathy of the weaker allopathic type. Threatened by the challenge to his beliefs that the high potencies and nosodes represented, most of all he simply did not want them to hold any truth. The key to the whole matter probably rested in some undisclosed claim to professional credibility and prestige that such ‘amphibians’ had conceived for themselves as respected practitioners to blend in within medicine as a whole, and their equal desire to influence its future direction. For such low-dosage, eclectic homeopaths as Hughes and Dudgeon, the ‘dangerous’ views of high potency homeopaths “were hopelessly unscientific, metaphysical, and a recipe for the permanent closure of doors to professional credibility.” [74] Thus, their ‘real problem’ was tied in with prestige and a desire to tie their version of homeopathy more firmly to the allopathic mainstream. They knew that transcendental methods and ideas would seriously compromise such a cosy arrangement.
C. Hering (1800-1880)
Portraying Dr Hering [1800-1880] as “the original suggester of the heresy,” [75] isopathy is, he contends, “stretching the principles of homeopathy too far. [76] It is “a mere clumsy attempt to revive the doctrine of signatures under a most irrational and repulsive form.” [77] He depicts so much of it as “ineffable trash. [78] While isopathy does indeed stretch the principles of homeopathy, but at its core, there sits an empirical database of some real cures. Attempts to lightly dismiss the doctrine do not comprise robust or measured intellectual invalidations, but more acts of disbelief and prejudice. Some prominent and respected homeopaths, such as Boenninghausen, repeatedly testified to the power of these high potencies: “the great curative power…of high potencies…since I almost exclusively employ these,” [79] “the efficiency of high potencies…[is] beyond all doubt;” [80] “since 1844…I have used high potencies almost exclusively.” [81] He mostly used the 200 and lower M potencies. Undoubtedly, Dudgeon and others closed their eyes to these claims and just wished they would go away.
Dudgeon also mixes isopathy up with much absurd material from antiquity, telling us that “Galen says that the brains of a camel are a cure for epilepsy,” [82] and that “the organs of foxes, wolves, dogs, sheep and swine are arbitrarily selected for supplying the remedial agent.” [83] This seems like a pretty desperate attempt to smear isopathy with any dirt he can find, including ancient and discredited, half-baked material on ‘signatures’, claiming that much of it is “the offspring of a prurient imagination or a most perverted pathological creed.” [84] Yet, by seeking to denounce and demonise isopathists as extreme deviants within homeopathy, a sect within a sect, and opponents of true homeopathy – enemies within – he calls for them to be expelled from the mother church and all ties severed. He condemns them as having no proven therapeutic value and of being an embarrassment that invites nothing but ridicule on homeopathy as a whole, and which threatens his undeclared desire to see homeopathy pulled closer to the allopathic mainstream.
Even when he claims that the use of isopathic remedies “has never extended beyond a few whimsical and fantastic individuals,” [85] which is not actually true, this exposes his attempts to deviantise isopathists, without successfully discrediting them at the intellectual level. It is an act of disbelief, that attempts to socially exclude, stigmatise and expel them from within the movement as unwanted heretics. This is also apparent when he refers to what he calls the “extravagances of the isopathists,” [86] their only extravagance being their use of nosodes and the higher potencies, accepted in the light of the miasm theory. [87]
This point is made abundantly clear when he says “the isopathic heresy, with its innumerable divergences and extravagances, has brought no small amount of ridicule upon homeopathy, and has been eagerly seized on by some of our opponents as a proper mark for their wit and satire. [88] Being unable to expel them by sound intellectual invalidation based upon actual homeopathic principles culled from the Organon, for example, the last resort is to have them deviantised as just ‘too weird’. Dudgeon always answers his own rhetorical question, “can we admit the truth of the isopathic principle as a rule of cure?” [89], with a resounding ‘no’.
He also accuses isopathy of being saddled with logical inconsistencies, and tries to show that many nosodes have no rational basis because they are not real remedies: “to give the morbid products of non-contagious diseases and the morbid matters excreted by some contagious diseases, which do not, however, contain the contagious principle of the disease…these matters are not capable of producing the disease in healthy individuals.” [90] He then elaborates this theme further, claiming: “the infecting principle of measles is contained in the blood…the matter of ophthalmia neonatorum contains undoubtedly a contagious principle…therefore, it is with respect to these and similar matters only that the isopathic principle can be applied, for they alone are capable of inducing in the healthy the disease to which they owe their origin.” [91] This was a dangerous strategy is open to criticism, because it is a deviation from the mainstream homeopathic principles.
By implying that only toxic, infectious or contagious materials can yield nosodes [remedies], this clearly denotes an abandonment of the usual homeopathic essentialism in his thinking, a bacterial thread almost, bearing in mind it was written some 40 years before the true Germ Theory itself had appeared in the modern form. Though many nosodes were not proven, yet their empirical use as useful adjuncts and intercurrent remedies, conferred upon them some credibility and validity, to reinforce their regular use by growing numbers of respected homeopaths. To transcendental homeopaths, nosodes like Carcinosin and Tuberculinum, for example, are valid remedies, not because they contain any poison, virus or contagious matter of a chemical nature, as Dudgeon demands, but because they are imbued with the ‘secret essence’ of cancer and TB, being made from diseased tissue. Similarly with remedies like Sol, Luna or X-ray, because the lactose has been exposed to and captured the essence of sunshine, moonlight or X-rays: “imponderabilia [like] electricity and the X-ray are both capable of potentisation;” [92] “A drachm vial filled with absolute alcohol was exposed to a Crook’s tube in operation for half an hour, and then brought up to the sixth centesimal potency;” [93] “Lyssin, or Hydrophobinum; saliva of a rabid dog…introduced and proved by Hering in 1833, fifty years before the crude experiments of Pasteur with the serum;” [94] “Electricitas…the potencies were prepared from milk sugar which has been saturated with the current.” [95] The point is that diseased tissue contains the ‘essence’ of that disease, its fundamental but invisible disease-creating force.
This is an essentialist point of view inherent to homeopathy, and has nothing to do with any alleged ‘contagious principle’ of Dudgeon. The use of nosodes was not based upon ‘belief’, supposition or superstition, even though Dudgeon suggests that “these isopathic preparations seem to accommodate themselves remarkably to the pathological views of those who administer them,” [96] which seems an astonishing claim for a homeopath to make. Their use was always supported by and grounded in clinical experience. [97]
What he also seems to be saying, when viewed at the deeper level, is that since no symptoms can theoretically derive from non-contagious material, therefore no cures can devolve from them either. In other words, all provings [and implicitly, all cures] must involve the use of ‘toxic’ [symptom-producing] material. In this sense, he denies any natural sympathy that might pertain between a drug and its effects, which is today seen as essential, innate, or spiritual, and which Dudgeon insists must be solely actual, physical, chemically detectable and pathogenic. Like Simpson saying that “no poison in the billionth or decillionth…would in the least degree affect a man or harm a fly.” [98] Such reads like the outright demolition of a core homeopathic principle and its replacement with a very material and literal reading of a fundamentally allopathic principle. He therefore also denies any mere phenomenological resonance that might adhere between a remedy and its symptoms: “the artificial illness that proving initiates…alters inner states which are apprehended initially through changed sensations, images, feelings, dreams and the production of outer symptoms,” [99]
A more modern example, “In February 1998 we initiated a proving of positronium…made at the particle accelerator…ethanol in a vial was exposed to the radiation of decaying positronium – approximately 1,000,000,000 annihilation events being captured over a 24 hour period. This was run up to the thirtieth…[which] was the proving potency.” [100] In contrast to Dudgeon’s claims, such matters prove that symptoms can be induced by higher potencies. He implicitly seems to deny the spiritual [essentialist] aspect inherent to the homeopathy of Hahnemann himself: “the homeopath…evokes by triturations, succussion, etc, his ‘spiritual’ powers, principles, or influences, out of material bodies, as house-salt, charcoal, oyster shells, etc.” [101] Dudgeon conveniently ignores Hahnemann’s basic finding that many otherwise medicinally inert substances can be converted into remedies by potentisation.
Following, in his creation of homeopathy, the maxim of “everything that can hurt is something that can heal,” [102] though Hahnemann was mindful of the nature of poisonings, [103] for the same reason Shakespeare once observed: “in the infant rind of this small flower, poison hath residence and medicine power,” [104] and although it is self-evident that “drugs, in crude form…[do] have the power to make even well people sick,” [105] yet this line of argument ignores the more subtle dimension of sickness, and those “agents, material or immaterial, which modify disease.” [106] For example, what really in modern parlance, is a dream proving [107] or a 10M potency? Or, what is the vital force? Because such nebulosities cannot be expressed in the familiar materialist language of modern science, they seem somewhat ineffable, in the last analysis, being taken on trust, as “idealised entities,” [108]; so the idea of contagion becomes in truth a complex subject – “he caught the disease and catches the cure.” [109] We do not see “disease itself any more than we see life, mind or thought.” [110] Conveniently sidestepping such deeper, and genuinely substantial issues, Dudgeon merely denounces nosodes on reflex as unproven, and therefore as illegitimate, additions to the materia medica, which, as an argument, is a curate’s egg – only good in parts. Lord knows what he would have made of modern remedies like Berlin Wall, [111] Luna [112] or Venus! [113] Can such remedies be presumed to contain any ‘infecting principle’ as his view demands? Presumably not. More enlightened homeopaths realised what Dudgeon had blinded himself to: “the homeopath does not consider it essential that its bacilli be seen in the atom of diseased material which he prepares for medicinal use.” [114] As a modern master practitioner also puts it: “the material of the nosodes is much more than the micro-organisms involved.” [115]
A Luminous and Pivotal Example
When Dudgeon states that “there cannot theoretically be a more appropriate stimulant than the very agent capable of producing the same state, given in regulated doses,” [116] then this could be the nosode, or it could be the most similar drug [similimum], depending upon the case in hand. Dudgeon is right in saying that the basis of Similia involves “the curative process in admitting the possibility of cure by an agent capable of producing the same disease.” [117] He therefore does admit some uses for nosodes. For example, “I find a good many cases of measles which apparently recovered very quickly under the use of morbilline,” [118]; “varioline in…cases of smallpox…[having a] decidedly beneficial influence exerted by the remedy on the course of the disease,” [119]; but he insists that “isopathic agents should, in my opinion, be strictly limited to really infectious morbid products.” [120] His views on contagion seem peculiar to modern ears – “contagion by means of clothes…and often by the mere emanations from the patient.” [121] The entire concept of contagion is philosophically both more ancient and more complex and more subtle than Dudgeon pretends. Right down to the time of Sydenham [1624-89], it was always rooted in a form of ‘spiritual invasion’ [Pagel, Temkin]. It is probably his deceivingly literal and allopathic interpretation of homeopathy, which blinded Dudgeon to these deeper subtleties.
Having difficulty in his attempts to find any valid intellectual means to denounce transcendentalism, and being unable to state why he would impose limits upon the use of remedies or miasms, his condemnations lack focus and failed to attract any followers; he failed to supply a coherent rationale to justify his prejudices. He clutches desperately at rules and certainties that turn out to be only ‘castles made of smoke’. Dudgeon only permits entry into the realm of ‘the real’ and ‘the approved’, those provings and cures obtained by using contagious or toxic material. This would logically invoke a corollary that only material doses can induce symptoms in the healthy and that only material and sub-material doses can elicit cures: “the dynamic potentised drug is the chief factor in both proving and healing;” [122]
As a 3xer, one can see where he is fixated, but since the 1850s homeopathy has moved forward a great deal. The reality of the high potencies [higher than 6x] is not just the reality of cures obtained with fantastically high potencies [30c to CM], but also includes the reality of symptoms being induced in people with high potencies, [123] – “the dynamic potentised drug is the chief factor in both proving and healing” [124] – not to mention more recent things like dream provings. [125] When Close [1860-1929] mildly suggests that “the whole scale of potencies from the lowest to the highest is open to the homeopathic physician,” [126] such would seem an outrageously heretical suggestion to the likes of Dudgeon, who is impatient to dismiss any spiritual link between remedy and patient and most unwilling to adopt higher potencies, purely on the basis of disbelief and trepidation. He clearly felt that this would disastrously lead homeopathy over some disreputable Niagara Falls straight into some airy-fairy ‘anything goes’ policy, much to the delight and furious applause of allopaths everywhere.
It is clear, that there exists a real province within homeopathy that embraces the nebulous, but it is a province lying entirely beyond the conceptual grasp of someone like Dudgeon; a realm he dare not enter lest “the wheel be broken at the well.” [127] Yet, another desire to negotiate and retain a prestigious relationship with orthodoxy, spawned a polarisation of the movement into those who were attracted by the nebulous in homeopathy and those others who were repelled by nebulosities. Yet, in terms both of ideas and technique, this polarity already existed even in the Organon and, as we shall see, even in Hahnemann himself. It certainly existed in German homeopathy, with its many rebels and dissenters from the official doctrine.
For all the reasons thusfar explored, Dudgeon is clearly a quite luminous and pivotal example of an articulate but conservative homeopathic “old guard”[128], who at best could only grasp Hahnemann’s teachings in a crudely allopathic fashion; an ‘old guard’ who controlled UK homeopathy at that time and were manifestly sceptical of high potencies and nosodes, and very resistant to change. [129] Like Hughes, Dudgeon wished to root homeopathy solely within the framework of an allopathic patter, in terms of familiar and more trusted concepts like ‘diseases’ and ‘remedies’. Much later, in the 1890s, homeopathy in the UK then took a sharp turn towards American transcendentalism. [130] This inspired an expansion of homeopathy both at the theoretical and practical levels, to embrace the full reality of miasms, higher potencies, spiritual ideas about remedies, and, more recently, dream provings, essences, mentality and disposition as the dominant factors or ‘core concepts’ and more miasms, not only the original three, but also tubercular and cancer miasms, as new offshoots of Psora. [131] Homeopathy today has expanded when compared to the rather narrow, rigid, and limited view of early Hahnemannian homeopathy. Yet, both lineages in modern homeopathy can be traced back to Hahnemann, not just the more conservative or allopathic version preferred by Dudgeon. It has expanded beyond all rules and limits, which any ‘insiders’ have sought to impose upon it, so great has been its growth.
Robert E. Dudgeon (1820-1904)
According to Dudgeon, the whole isopathic “affair finds but little favour in Hahnemann’s eyes,” [132] and therefore, by implication, it is safe to condemn it both as un-homeopathic and as nonsense! He depicts it as a medical darkness, a crooked path to be avoided. Yet, Dudgeon is wrong. As usual, Hahnemann was not disapproving, as Dudgeon claims, he was ambivalent. He saw some uses for nosodes and miasms, but also some problems. Likewise with the higher potencies. He went so far with these concepts and methods, but only so far; he stopped short of some of the others in embracing them. He did not fully embrace isopathy; he partially embraced it. His was a mixed response. The ‘highs vs. lows struggle’ dominated not only American [133] and British homeopathy in the last quarter of the 19th century; it was a widespread division much before that. Having seeds in the Organon; it is inherent to early homeopathy in Germany, and indeed had roots in Hahnemann himself.
This radical new isopathic and transcendental homeopathic conception, or ‘agent of change’, which originated about the time of the publication of Chronic Diseases in 1828, [134] soon spawned a new movement within homeopathy, a dangerous and frightening sub-sect [to people like Dudgeon], gathering to its cause a motley but energetic crew of rebels, dissenters and freethinkers. It immediately gained support from those who indulged a taste for the higher potencies, like Korsakoff [1788-1853], Boenninghausen [1785-1864], Stapf [1788-1860], and Griesselich [1804-48],. Such pioneers were then followed up by Hering, Allen [1830-1909], Skinner [1825-1906], Berridge [1844-1920], Burnett [1840-1901], Clarke [1853-1931], Kent [1849-1916], and Weir [1879-1971]. [135]
P. W. L. Griesslich (1804-1948)
This transcendental ‘virus’ spread insidiously throughout American homeopathy, with its strongly metaphysical inclinations, and then began to infect small groups in British homeopathy by about 1870. “Kent [placed great]…emphasis upon mental symptoms and the use of high potencies. They first appeared [in Britain] when Dr Octavia Lewin presented a paper…in 1903…Dudgeon, who was present at the meeting, raged against the whole idea.” [136] The cases were treated with 1M, 81M and CM potencies and “Dr Clarke congratulated Lewin on the courage she had manifested in treating them with single doses.,” [137] At the meeting Dr Dudgeon, clearly outraged, “spoke out against the use of high dilutions and quoted…’quod fieri potest per pauca, non debet fieri per pauca’…if we can get by with few dilutions, we ought not to employ many.” [138] In fact, to correct Leary, the Kentian influence had twice visited Britain before, via Drs Skinner and Berridge in 1870s Liverpool, and via Gibson Miller in 1880s Glasgow. [139] In any case, Dudgeon was ejected from the meeting. [140]
Dudgeon and Close On Disease and Cure
When we come to compare Dudgeon [1853] to Close [1924], for example, then the differences between them become very pronounced and we can measure what progress had been made. After 1900, we behold an expansive and unstoppable movement of transcendentalism, shamelessly declaring the power of high potencies and the use of nosodes in even the most serious conditions, and sweeping all before it. While for most of the 19th century, conservative British homeopaths prescribed remedies “in low potency, usually 1x or 3x, but mother tinctures were used regularly,” [141] yet “by 1910 there was a complete change from the prescription of 90% material doses to 70% or more of high potencies.” [142] Therefore, Dudgeon was wrong when he claimed isopathy to be neither “consistent with theoretic probability,” [143] nor “borne out by experience.” [144] His claim that there were “no arguments having the slightest claim to validity brought forward in its support,” [145] and no facts to substantiate it, seems like a very blinkered view. In fact, by the 1870s an abundance of evidence was in existence to underpin this burgeoning movement, and a significant rationale was supplied by Hahnemann’s acute and chronic miasms. [146]
On a theoretical level, the use of high potencies and nosodes certainly acts to confirm and underscore the essentialist ideas of transcendental homeopathy and therefore became important emblems of its sense of identity, which are strongly preferred to the materialist, bacterial and physiological constructs of allopathy. Homeopathy has always had to struggle to demarcate and police its own borders, and to retain a distinctive sense of medical and philosophical identity that separates it from the politically dominant and more powerful allopathic medicine. Even though the movement was now in decline, and entering what was to be a seventy year period of stagnation, nevertheless, it was henceforth to be ‘pure homeopathy’ or nothing.
When Dudgeon also complains that “the disgusting character of many of the preparations introduced into our materia medica by the isopathists has been particularly held up to public condemnation by our adversaries,” [147] such a view seems only relevant to those stuck in the past and terrified of progress. They were only ‘disgusting’ in their origin, before potentisation had rendered them as safe as baby’s milk. Indeed, it ethically behoves any physician to explore any means of curative treatment: “the homeopaths…have not hesitated to explore filth, decay, and disease for morbific products or nosodes. Diseased material from animals and plants, and the poisonous secretions of reptiles, fishes, and insects, are found to be indispensably curative in desperate or obscure diseases.” [148] Dudgeon can again be seen evading his real problems concerning the prestige and social standing of homeopaths. As Dr Burnett himself once bitterly put it: “the social value of [surgery] is a baronetcy. The social value of [homeopathic remedies] is slander and contempt.” [149]
Compared to Dudgeon’s view, Close states that “the gross, tangible, lesions and products in which disease ultimates are not the primary object of the homeopathic prescription.” [150] Close goes right to the heart of the matter in stating that it is not symptoms that need correction, but function. “Function creates the organs…function reveals the condition of the organs,” [151] and he further reveals that “the totality of the functional symptoms of the patient is the disease.” [152] This somewhat flies in the face of the Hughes/Dudgeon claim that disease is a localised affair, a material affair that must be treated with material doses – tinctures, 1x and 3x. But, seizing his quarry firmly, Close deepens the real focus of homeopathy not upon the tissues, but into “the realm of pure dynamics;” [153] what he calls the “sphere of homeopathy is limited primarily to the functional changes from which the phenomena of disease arise.” [154]
Manifestly, after 1880 or so, homeopathy had become increasingly concerned with ‘essence’ or the deeper and invisible ‘genotype’ of disease, rather than with phenotype [the visible]; with causes rather than with effects. Such a shift clearly reflects the transcendental focus and essentialist nature of this later form of homeopathy – a far subtler and more sophisticated system than its crudely allopathic predecessor, so beloved of the ‘amphibians’. When Close speaks of “the morbid vital processes,” [155] and that any pathological changes and “physical effects of mechanical causes, are not primarily within the domain of Similia, and therefore are not the object of homeopathic treatment,” [156] he means to emphasise to all homeopaths that true homeopathy aims not to directly remove Dudgeon’s external ‘phenotype’ of disease, in the tissues, but to remove its root cause, its internal ‘genotype’ – the fount from which all symptoms spring. “In faithful treatment, it is sought to accomplish an end far more subtle than the mechanical removal of bacilli…” [157] Symptoms were not seen by homeopaths as the disease, but as the results, the end-products, of deeper dynamic disease processes: “tissue changes…are but the results of disease;” [158] “a cure is not a cure unless it destroys the internal or dynamic cause of disease.” [159]
When Close states that the “real cure…takes place solely in the functional and dynamical sphere,” [160] we can see that his emphasis has shifted away from any visible pathology resident in the organs, tissues and cells, to the underlying vital and dynamic processes that underpin and derange the cells and tissues. It has moved away from the physical body per se to the vital force, the mind and spirit, disposition, modalities and peculiar symptoms of the patient; from the visible realm of germ and cell, to the hidden, archetypal and miasmic realm; from effects to causes; from matter to spirit [essence]; from phenotype to genotype. The focus has shifted to those dynamic forces that lie behind and direct tissue processes and tissue changes.
Even in the perception of remedies and diseases, the whole focus and emphasis has subtly shifted from the gross and physical to the mental, emotional, and dispositional factors of the proving, of the remedy and of the patient [disease]. This becomes even more clearly visible in the work of modern figures like Sankaran, Scholten, Vithoulkas, Eizayaga and Candegabe. [161] The “homoeopathic gaze,” [162] no longer falls so much upon the ‘disease’, the symptoms or the condition, but much more upon the mentality and disposition, constitution, layers, essence, which distinguish the remedy or case in its uniqueness. Uniqueness and individuality being the true realm of Similia: “homeopathy considers the single patient as indivisible and unique,” [163] recognising “health as a dynamic equilibrium,” [164] of invisible forces ultimately under the control of the vital force. Previous talk of conditions and diseases, henceforth becomes muted by that in favour of the highly individualised nature of cases and patients and the mental symptoms of the case and the remedy – what Vithoulkas and Sankaran would call the ‘essence states’, and what Eizayaga calls the ‘genotype.’ [165]
S. M. Close (1860-1929)
Close validates this view by tracing it back to its true source when he maintains that “Hahnemann introduces us into the realm of dynamics, the science…of motion. In medicine dynamical commonly refers to functional as opposed to organic disease.” [166] Power, Close insists, does not reside in the body, in the tissues or the cells themselves, it “resides at the centre;” [167] disease “is the suffering of the dynamis.” [168] Close devotes considerable energy to clearly defining disease; an effort which repays close study. For example, he says that “homeopathy does not treat disease; it treats patients.” [169] Disease, he claims, is “an abnormal vital process;” [170] “a dynamic aberration of our spirit-like life;” [171] “a perverted vital action;” [172] it is “not a thing, but only the condition of a thing;” [173] that in the last analysis disease is “primarily only an altered state of life and mind.” [174] This is akin to Kent’s likening of cure to a qualitative re-tuning of a piano, [175] and is all a very far cry from using remedies in material doses [1x or 3x] for named conditions.
Close lays bare its deeper nature when he says disease is “primarily a morbid disturbance or disorderly action of the vital powers and functions,” [176] or “purely a dynamical disturbance of the vital principle.” [177] Furthermore, he logically pronounces that because “disease is always primarily a morbid dynamical or functional disturbance of the vital principle,” [178] so in turn it is clear that “functional or dynamic change always precedes tissue changes,” [179] and that cure has been established only “when every perceptible sign of suffering of the dynamis has been removed.” [180] For Close, it is precisely upon such reasons and definitions that “the entire edifice of therapeutic medication governed by the law of Similia,” [181] has been conceived and constructed. All these insightful statements elaborated by Close might be said to derive from Kent, but, as he insists, they also flow naturally from Hahnemann’s own sentiments in the Organon: [182] “let it be granted now…that no disease…is caused by any material substance, but that every one is only and always a peculiar, virtual, dynamic derangement of the health.” [183]
Close very emphatically places his bets not upon a condition or disease label, or in Dudgeon’s beloved cells and tissues, or material doses of drugs, but firmly in the invisible sphere of causes – the vital force and the potentised drug. When he says, “the tumor is not the disease, but only the ‘end product’ of the disease,” [184] he means to show that disease is a process of change within the organism, directed, not by itself, not under its own power in the cells, but by the power of a deranged vital force that impinges upon and coordinates the cellular processes. Such is certainly a view of disease as a “dynamic derangement of the life force,” [185] more as derangement of process, rather than derangement of structure. The remedy for these sickness processes is equally dynamic and nebulous – the potentised drug – which gives rise to the comment by Kent: “lower potency…less fine and less interior than the higher,” [186] meaning the higher the potency, the deeper it penetrates into the hidden realm of disease causes.
For Close, then, ipso facto, homeopathy sees as its mission to un-derange the vital force, which is precisely what he claims its remedies do. All of this is expressed in words that Kent would also have chosen. Close, one might say, treads perfectly within the ‘verbal footprints’ of Kent himself, who in turn we might say follows closely Allen, Hering, and Boenninghausen. They all speak with one voice, even though their voices span ten decades.
“That which we call disease, is but a change in the Vital Force expressed by the totality of the symptoms.”

The Way in Which Homeopathic Medical Therapies Work
The Way in Which Homeopathic Medical Therapies Work Leave a Comment Posted by Pearlyn Goodman-Herrick on November 5, 2012 Homeopathy typically is associated with caring for the complete individual rather than health problem alone. Your homeopath is going to look at the person as a whole, both in physical form and emotionally, looking at the person’s physical aspect, his or her likes, dislikes as well as temperament. Therefore it’s a really personalized kind of remedy, thus patients that apparently suffer from the exact same condition may be offered recommendations for different therapies.Homeopathy is regarded as a well established variety of healing. These days a number of the top pharmaceutical companies are investigating and mass-producing homeopathic medicine. Homeopathic remedies look similar to conventional remedies, are typically consumed in much the same way, though the way they work is really totally distinctive.Typically the remedies are not fabricated and generally are obtained from organic sources. Over 60% of homeopathic treatments are generally made out of vegetable or plant elements. Other sorts of remedies are prepared out of naturally occurring mineral elements, like metals, non-metallic substances, and mineral salts. Animal sources of homeopathic therapies can include: Cuttlefish (the ink or juice provides sepia) and Honeybee.Homeopathic remedies us
Fibromyalgia and homeopathy
thanks to June Reidlinger ND-
The good news for fibromyalgia patients who receive homeopathic medicines is that these remedies are not known to cause direct drug interactions with any conventional drugs the patient may be taking. The pharmaceutical lobby decries homeopathy for its lack of effect: the problem for them is that if one unfathomable homeopathic treatment works, their argument is in tatters. Patients are also spared some of the conventional drug artillery used to limit symptoms. Further, because people with fibromyalgia tend to have distinct and unusual symptoms, this situation actually makes it easier for homeopaths to treat them successfully.
Other advantages homeopathy has over conventional drug therapies are lower cost and the avoidance of the usual GI, headache and CNS side effects as well as reactions that can be life threatening.
However, newspapers, magazines and even books on fibromyalgia, typically ignore studies showing the efficacy of a homeopathic medicine in its treatment. This omission occurs despite evidence of its significant efficacy as verified in several studies published in major medical journals. In addition to the scientific evidence for homeopathic treatment, surveys of people with fibromyalgia tend to show that homeopathic medicines is one of the more popular alternative treatments used by people suffering from this ailment. For instance, Dietlind et al (2005) found that 10 percent of patients answering a survey on their use of Complementary and Alternative Medicine for fibromyalgia symptoms reported using homeopathy.
Scientific Evidence for Homeopathy
The first controlled trial testing the homeopathic treatment of patients with fibromyalgia was an impressive and sophisticated double-blind “crossover” trial that was published in the prestigious British Medical Journal (Fisher et al, 1989). A crossover trial is a sophisticated method to test the efficacy of a treatment because each patient’s results with the “real treatment” are compared with that same patient’s results with a placebo. While most double-blind studies compare one group of people who receive the “real treatment” with another (hopefully similar) group of people who receive a placebo, crossover trials compare the results of each person and his/her response to real treatment with his/her response to placebo.
Because of the nature of a crossover trial, the researchers chose to accept into this study only patients that fitted the symptom-syndrome for needing just one homeopathic medicine that tends to be one of the most commonly indicated remedies for fibromyalgia patients. The researchers found a surprisingly high percentage of patients (42 percent) whose symptoms indicated a need for this medicine, Rhus toxicodendron (Rhus tox).
After the researchers found 30 patients who seemed to fit the symptoms of Rhus tox, half of the subjects were given a placebo during the first half of the experiment, while the other half were given the homeopathic medicine. Then, halfway through the experiment, each subject’s treatment was switched.
The homeopathic dose of the medicine used was 6C. The researchers specifically chose to use a low potency dose of this medicine for this trial because these less potent doses provide short-term results. Over 200 years of homeopathic practice have found that homeopathic medicines that are of a higher potency — that is, those that have undergone a greater number of dilutions, with vigorous shaking of the solution in between dilutions — have a longer term effect [1]. Because halfway through this study each subject was given either a placebo or a homeopathic medicine, the researchers only wanted to use a medicine that provided a short-term result and this is precisely what their results confirmed.
The researchers found that there was a substantially significant degree of improvement in the reduction of tender points and improved pain and sleep when the subjects were taking the homeopathic medicine, as compared to when these same subjects were taking a placebo. In other words, twice as many people experienced significantly less pain or significantly improved sleep when they were taking the homeopathic medicine as compared to when they were taking the placebo.
Iris Bell, M.D., Ph.D. and her colleagues at the University of Arizona School of Medicine conducted a study funded by National Institutes of Health which resulted in four articles published in peer-review medical journals (Bell et al, 2004a; Bell et al, 2004b; Bell et al, 2004c; Bell et al, 2004d). The primary clinical results from this study were published in the highly respected journal, Rheumatology (published by the British Society for Rheumatology), and it found statistically significant results from homeopathic treatment. This randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial with 62 fibromyalgia patients received an oral daily dose of an individually chosen homeopathic medicine (or a placebo) and were evaluated at baseline, two months and four months (Bell, et al, 2004a).
The study found that 50 percent of patients given a homeopathic medicine experienced a 25 percent or greater improvement in tender point pain on examination, whereas only 15 percent of those who were given a placebo experienced a similar degree of improvement. After four months, the homeopathic patients also rated the “helpfulness of the treatment” significantly greater than did those who were given a placebo. It is therefore not surprising that the study also showed that the average number of remedies recommended by the homeopaths was substantially higher to those in the placebo group as compared with the real treatment group.
One special additional feature of this trial was that the first dose of medicine was given by smell and that both groups were monitored with EEG. The researchers found that there was a significant and identifiable difference in the EEG readings in patients who were given the real homeopathic medicine as compared to those given the placebo (Bell et al, 2004b; Bell et al, 2004c). Each patient had three laboratory sessions, including at baseline, at three months and at six months after initial treatment. The researchers found that the active treatment group experienced significant increases in the EEG relative alpha magnitude, while patients given a placebo experienced a decrease in this measurement.
Another unique feature of this study was that it included an optional crossover design, allowing patients who had initially been prescribed one treatment (placebo or medication) to switch to the “other” treatment (Bell et al, 2004d). The researchers found that 31 percent of those patients who had been prescribed the real medication chose to switch, while 41 percent of those patients who had been prescribed the placebo chose to switch.
The combined evidence of clinical improvement along with physiological response to the homeopathic medicine gives these results additional significance.
The newest randomized controlled trial was conducted comparing “usual medical care” compared with usual medical care plus adjunctive care by a homeopath for patients with fibromyalgia syndrome (FMS)(Relton et al., 2009). Adjunctive care consisted of five in depth interviews and individualized homeopathic medicines. The primary outcome measure was the difference in Fibromyalgia Impact Questionnaire total score at 22 weeks. (“Usual care” refers to one or more of the following: physiotherapy, aerobic exercise, analgesics, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, antidepressants.)
A total of 47 patients were recruited. Drop out rate in the usual care group was higher than the homeopath care group (8/24 vs 3/23). Adjusted for baseline, there was a significantly greater mean reduction in the FIQ total score (function) in the homeopathic care group than the usual care group (-7.62 vs 3.63). There were significantly greater reductions in the homeopath care group in the McGill pain score, FIQ fatigue, and ‘tiredness upon waking’ scores. The study also found a small effect on pain score (0.21, 95 percent CI -1.42 to 1.84) (despite what may be considered a relatively small effect on pain, this degree of benefit resembles the small to modest effect from conventional medications described above); but this trial found a surprisingly large effect on function (0.81, 95 percent CI -8.17 to 9.79). Of additional importance, there were no reported adverse events from homeopathic medicines.
Ultimately, the homeopathic treatment of patients with fibromyalgia requires individualized care by clinicians who are adequately trained in homeopathy. This condition is too complex for ‘self-care treatment’ or for treatment by clinicians who have not received professional training.
The body of scientific evidence showing efficacy of individualized homeopathic treatment in the care of patients with fibromyalgia suggests significant benefits. If you or someone near and dear to you has fibromyalgia, consider getting professional homeopathic care for both safe and effective treatment. Further, although fibromyalgia is not officially considered a type of arthritis, a review of homeopathic research found patients with this more common ailment also benefit from homeopathic treatment (Jonas, et al, 2000).

A Note to and about Skeptics of Homeopathy:
Skepticism of homeopathy, like skepticism of any subject, can be healthy, except when this skepticism is based on ignorance of the subject and except when one maintains a closed mind or denies good scientific evidence. Sadly, the vast majority of people who express skepticism about homeopathy do not maintain a “healthy skepticism” but tend to be uninformed, misinformed, and simply in denial about homeopathy and the body of evidence that confirms its benefits.
It is more than a tad ironic that those people who hold themselves out as “defenders of medical science” tend to have such an unscientific attitude towards homeopathy. These people tend to show evidence of both ignorance about homeopathy and (worse) arrogance about their viewpoints. These people who are “medical fundamentalists” love to attack homeopathy saying that “there is no evidence that homeopathy works.” In fact, they make this assertion so often that they have gotten some people to actually believe them. Needless to say, anyone who says that there is no scientific evidence that homeopathic medicines work is simply proving their ignorance of the subject (as this article on fibromyalgia validates) or verifying their propensity for misinformation.
WArning-TRUVIA! Bad for you
http://side-effects.owndoc.com/truvia-side-effects.php
Some sugar subst are bad- to name a few; Aspartame,Truvia,Spenda,Nutrasweet,sweet n low.(sugar is just as bad)
STEVIA plant is fine Grow it yourself use the leaf in your tea
—————————————————————————————————————————————————
I am collecting data on possible negative Truvia sweetener side effects. Since the FDA recently approved Truvia as a sweetener, it is sold in sachets.
One reader emailed me with this: “I noticed recently after using Truvia for a short while, it seems my lactose intolerance has been much worse than usual.”
Another reader named Susan wrote:”I started using Truvia in an effort to get myself off of Sweet and Low. Actually I needed 1 1/2 packets to equal one S&L. I took it for about 3 weeks and then started having symptoms which at first I didn’t relate to the Truvia.”
“First symptom was bad breath. Next one was back, neck and shoulder pain. I’m an avid tennis player so that was a problem for me. I went to my chiropractor a number of times and although I got temporary relief, it always returned. Finally it dawned on me that the only thing I was doing differently was using the Truvia. I stopped and within 48 hours all pains stopped and my breath problems disappeared. Clearly there is something in Truvia that I can’t handle. I thought I was doing something good for my body but in this case I was wrong.”
Chris wrote: “I have never had a bad reaction to Stevia so I tried the new product “Truvia”. I put it into my coffee in the morning for a couple of weeks and I seemed to be fine. However, I baked a pie with it, (cooking it and using a larger quantity of Truvia). Within 10 mins of eating a piece of the pie I had a severe mental reaction. My mouth began to itch, and I broke out in hives. I am highly sensitive to mold and yeast and this is the reaction I usually get from a heavy mold or yeast exposure. Therefore, I assumed my reaction was possibly from the yeast that is used to ferment the Erythritol or perhaps the Erythritol itself.not sure. But I will not be using it again!”
I have done some Googling and came up with this:
..Truvia side effects..
“I bought some Truvia at the supermarket. It’s a new sugar-substitute made from stevia and erythritol. I use stevia regularly to sweeten cocoa with no apparent side-effects. I was a bit cautious about consuming erythritol because I generally do not tolerate sugar alcohols. So I only used one packet of Truvia at a time, and usually only once a day. Then I used it twice a day and the side-effects showed up. I suffered some gas and diarrhea. Immediately I stopped using Truvia and went back to using plain stevia (which also can be purchased in packets). That was four days ago and the Truvia side-effects have not stopped.”
This posting is worrying on many levels. Firstly, people seem to think that Truvia is made of Stevia + Erythritol, which is only true if you stretch the truth a bit! Because Stevia is an extract of half a dozen natural steviosides (glycosides), and Truvia is chemically pure Rebaudioside A, derived from genetically modified plants.
Not to mention the side effects of Erythritol, which is a “sugar alcohol” made by fermenting glucose with a yeast. I hope her alleged Truvia side effects are merely imaginary, because side effects that linger for four days are not good..
..Truvia adverse effects..
“I tried it. The taste was fine and all, but it seemed to spark some crazy carb cravings in me. It actually took me a few days to figure out it was the truvia.”
Hm. “crazy carb cravings” are not exactly good when trying to lose weight using a zero-calorie sweetener..
..Truvia bad effects..
I tried truvia also. It made me feel extremely tired, and I felt ill all day. The feeling was different than anything I had experienced before. It did not taste very good in my coffee either, tasted bitter and just nasty. When I tried two packets the side effects became more pronounced with added abdominal cramps and very loose stools and lasted all day. I E-mailed the company and told them what I thought of their marketing ploy of truvia as a “natural sweetner” too. Needless to say I have received no reply. I do not perceive erythritol as a natural substance. On their website they NEVER write exactly how they make or THEIR source of erythritol. Char Downs
..Truvia effects..
I have been using Truvia for about a week now. I use about 4-8 packets a day, mostly in the morning, in my coffee. For years I have used Splenda but I have wanted to try a healthier option. Ever since I have used Truvia I too have had bad side effects. I have had bad abdominal cramps. At times it has been pretty painful, feeling like trapped gas. I have also been constipated. I will not use this product anymore. I am a healthy 28 years old and I eat healthy everyday so I can only associate these new problems with Truvia. Thanks for the info on your website. Jennifer Tuscany
..Truvia and metallic taste..
Dear Sarah – Thank you for collecting this important information. I, too, wanted to use a “healthier” alternative to Splenda. Using 2 or 3 packets per day seemed reasonable. After three days I began having a terrible taste in my mouth whenever I ate or drank anything. It was a combination of a metallic and detergent sensation – awful! My husband made the connection with the Truvia and I stopped it all together. 24 hours in I still have the problem, but am hoping for resolution soon. A few teaspoons of raw sugar can’t be that bad for me. Again my thanks! Anne
..Truvia side effects..
I just found your web site and want to report what happened to me this morning. Someone had put Truvia in our Splenda bin at work and I decided to try some in my coffee. The first one didn’t sweeten the coffee enough so I put a second packet in and it was fine. Not long after starting to drink the coffee, I found myself getting groggy at my desk. It was like I had eaten a large lunch and was falling asleep from it. Except that it was early morning and I had only had half a bagel, an apple, and orange juice for breakfast. As I drank more coffee it got worse. I could not focus on what I was doing for any length of time. I decided I needed a second coffee to wake up. This time I just used Splenda which doesn’t affect me and within a little while I started to come out of the haze. It is a few hours later now and I seem to be back to normal.

..Truvia adverse effects..
I tried Truvia about a month ago. I developed mouth sores which I thought was from my increased use of tomatoes this time of year. I stopped the Truvia as I suspected this new substance. I don’t like stevia and I found the taste of Truvia to be good. Today I tried 3 packets of Truvia again and my mouth erupted again. Won’t be trying that again. Just wanted to share this and was wondering if anyone else has had this kind of reaction. Karen Todd
..More side effects of Truvia..
I tried it for 3 months now. NO changes in my diet other than not using sugar and using truvia. Gained 15 pounds, loads of headaches and neck/shoulder pain. I called Truvia and they told me this was not a side effect, checked the internet and ooooo! I used stevia for years with no side effects, so there is something in this truvia that is no good! Gaining weight seems to be the opposite of what the point was!! Carol K
..Dangerous Truvia side effect?..
I went to google to lookup the side-effects of Truvia and came across your website. My story is a bit different from the other side-effects. After using Truvia for one week I ended up with the worst UTI I have ever had. The doctor said more than likely the artificial sweetner was the cause. This product should come with warnings! Pam Grubb
..Truvia and IBS..
I started using Truvia yesterday. I have IBS and within one hour of use, started having alot of abd pain. Then the next day, I had two packets again in my coffee. Within a few hours, the abdominals were going crazy, and had very loose diarrhea. How can they say its all natural? this tastes like Aspertame to me, yet I did not see this on the packet. I will have to trash this box. S. Miller
..Truvia and mouth sores..
Have recently (within the last 6-7 weeks) started using Truvia in a commercially prepared frozen product (one of my few vices!) that formerly was sweetened with Splenda. Developed strange mouth sores that lingered. Normally follow an organic, healthy diet and have not had this symptom. In a process of elimination, I realized yesterday that the only difference was that change/addition of Truvia, so I decided to Google Truvia side effects. The light was dawning that perhaps the one change I could document, Truvia, was contributing to the strange mouth sores (new for me). Tonight, found your commentary site and noted a similar response from a Karen Todd. Sounds like what I have been experiencing. No more of that particular vice – I’ll go back to my favorite sweetener – Xylitol. Back to the old adage – “don’t mess with Mother Nature…” Anonymous reader
..Truvia and bad taste..
I too tried Truvia, had an adverse response and found your website while googling Truvia’s side effects. Two days ago I bought some Blue Bunny “fudgecicles” sweetened with Truvia. I ate one in the car on the way home; it left a slightly bad taste in my mouth but once I popped in a piece of minty gum, the taste went away. That evening after dinner I ate another and then nothing I put in my mouth made it go away. I liken it to the “sucking on a rusty pipe” taste I get from some antibiotics. I’m coming up on 48 hours from the first one I ate and I still have the taste at the back of my tongue. I’m curious if anyone else has reported this symptom. Needless to say I’m returning or pitching those suckers!!! Thank you for any info you can provide! Penny Cherrix, Salt Lake City, Utah
..Truvia and mouth sores..
I have been trying to change my diet to lose weight and so switched from soda to low calorie vitamin water around three weeks ago. I begin to have serious mouth sores – my tongue was covered with canker sores and the roof of my mouth was irritated and blistered. I couldn’t figure it out – thought it might be stress. It continued but I noticed that it subsided on the weekends. I started looking for clues. The only time I drank the water – sweetened with Truvia – was during the week. I began to zero in more closely and I’m convinced the mouth sores are associated with the Truvia sweetened vitamin water. No more for me. Thanks for the website confirming my suspicions. Ann in Toledo
..Truvia and atrocious taste in the mouth..
Don’t know how old your posting is, but I was glad to find it to know I wasn’t nuts. I just started using Truvia two days ago–just one pack per day thank God because I, too, am getting the atrocious taste in my mouth now whenever I eat or drink anything at ALL! We can’t be the only ones. Why is this stuff still on the market. It’s repulsive!! Sue Phillips
..Truvia and back, neck and shoulder pain..
I am passing this along on behalf of my Mother. We had heard about Stevia and thought it worth trying Truvia. Bad mistake. When she started feeling awful and realized it was the Truvia, I started doing some research and found your site. I was shocked how her symptoms matched so many of those already on the site, but she had them all together at one time.
She began using Truvia as a substitute for sugar in beverages. After several days of moderate (1 packet per day) use, she began experiencing minor back, neck, and shoulder pain in the muscles and joints but at that time didn’t connect the pain with the Truvia. As she continued using the Truvia, she found the pain to be getting worse–severe in fact–and affecting more and more of her joints and muscles. In addition, she was starting to feel very sleepy all the time and was also beginning to feel very bloated. At that point we tried to figure out what was going on and realized that the only thing that had changed was her use of Truvia. The realization was based on noticing that her pains would peak, every time, 2 hours after consuming Truvia. She stopped the Truvia and within 2 day’s time, all the side-effects disappeared.
To me, that is the telling part. It took 2 days to clear the symptoms, i.e., clear the erythritol and rebaudioside A (or their metabolites?) from her system. Somebody needs to do a broad-based demographic study on how those things are cleared.
Until then, my advice is stay away from Truvia. It’s not safe and its release for public use is based on shoddy science, FDA incompetence and corporate avarice. Dave Landis
..Truvia and seriously upset stomach..
I have been using Truvia, everyday in my hot tea for about 2 weeks now. My stomach has been severely upset! Bloating, loose stools, cramps, sour stomach. I have not changed anything in my diet, except for using Truvia. I also decided to look up the side affects and am shocked and surprised of how many people have experienced the same thing! I will NOT continue using this. AnnaM. B..- Texas
..Truvia and severe migraines..
I am a diabetic who also suffers from frequent and severe migraine attacks. These attacks are definitely triggered by any foods or beverages containing Nutrasweet (aka: Equal) as an ingredient. Therefore, I have switched to buying products that are made exclusively with Splenda, and I strictly avoid eating or drinking anything that contains Nutrasweet.
Making this switch has proven to be a real life saver for me, and my migraines have definitely diminished. However, I recently decided to try Truvia since I had a coupon for it. Not only did I not like the yucky, sickenly sweet aftertaste and dry feeling it left in my mouth, but I found that within about 45 minutes of drinking some coffee I’d sweetened with Truvia, I felt a migraine starting to come on. No other apparent triggers for the migraine were evident that day, so I can only attribute its onset to the Truvia I had consumed.
I may try the Truvia one more time just to be certain that it was what actually triggered the migraine, but as I’m sure you can understand — once bitten, twice shy! I’m extremely hesitant to try it again. So…I’ll probably end up giving it all away to a friend and just sticking with my tried-and-true Splenda!!! Bridget Naylor in Easton, PA
..Truvia and severe insomnia..
I decided to try Truvia in place of splenda and have taken a total of 3 little packets on the first day of use spread out 1 in the morning and two in the later evening with my hot tea. I spent a horrible night of sleeplessness I DID NOT SLEEP AT ALL, I am extremely dizzy and my body aches in my neck and shoulders and my hands are numb, and I have a mind blowing headache. I have a MVP and all day my heart has been racing. I been trying to think all day what it is that could have caused all this I am a good sleeper nothing else in my diet had changed except this and I don’t drink. This sweetner needs to come with side effect warnings specially for people with heart conditions. I will not be taking this sweetner again and I hope the store takes the box back I am going back to splenda I have never had side effects with it of any kind. Just thought I would share my story I have been googling the sweetner and so far this is the only site I have found that has any side effect warning for this product. Chantel Douglas
..Truvia and pains, abdominal cramps and loose stools..
I, too had bad side effects from truvia.I thought I had eaten something with gluten in it or milk but that wasn’t the problem. I had tried the Truvia in my tea and within an hour I had bad pain, abdominal cramps and very loose stools.Never again….and it was something that was “natural” not by any means..it should come with warnings. Erythrital is not as natural as stated on package. Sharon M.
..Truvia and low blood sugar..
I have diabetes and have used Splenda for a long time. Thought I’d try Truvia but it affected my blood sugar very badly. My blood sugar very quickly became very low, which made me extremely light-headed and very dizzy for most of the day. Has anyone else had this reaction?. The first time I tried it I had an overall sick feeling and am about to dump all of it in the garbage. Susan Postlewait
..Truvia and diarreah..
I drink two cups of coffee daily. In the past I have used aspartame. Thought I would try Truvia. I have been using it for three days and yesterday(Saturday) probably used 4-5 packets of it. Last night I had a severe case of diarrhea. Since my wife and I ate the same thing the past few days I only assume that Truvia was the culprit. I will abstain from it and see if my stools return to normal in the next few days. Not certain that Truvia was the cause. Jerry–Kentucky
..Truvia and loose stools..
I have used Truvia a couple times. Each time has resulted in extremely loose stools. I have to use 2-3 packets in a large ice coffee in order to taste it. I am really disappointed because I wanted a natural sugar alternative with zero or few calories. I’m starting to think that I should just use the sugar and learn to use less. Steve
..Truvia and extreme stomach problems, bad taste..
I’ve tried Truvia and found that I have developed an extreme case of stomach problems.Notably cramps and diarrhea.Also had a bad taste in my mouth. I am not going to continue using this product nor am I going to recommend it to anyone….. Joe in Ocala, Fl
..Truvia and abdominal pain..
I started using Truvia yesterday. I have IBS and within one hour of use, started having alot of abd pain. Then the next day, I had two packets again in my coffee. Within a few hours, the abdominals were going crazy, and had very loose diarrhea.
How can they say its all natural? this tastes like Aspertame to me, yet I did not see this on the packet. I will have to trash this box. S. Miller
..Truvia and metallic, detergent taste..
I, too, wanted to use a “healthier” alternative to Splenda. Using 2 or 3 packets per day seemed reasonable. After three days I began having a terrible taste in my mouth whenever I ate or drank anything. It was a combination of a metallic and detergent sensation – awful! My husband made the connection with the Truvia and I stopped it all together. 24 hours in I still have the problem, but am hoping for resolution soon. A few teaspoons of raw sugar can’t be that bad for me. Anne
..Truvia and mouth sores..
Have recently (within the last 6-7 weeks) started using Truvia in a commercially prepared frozen product (one of my few vices!) that formerly was sweetened with Splenda.
Developed strange mouth sores that lingered. Normally follow an organic, healthy diet and have not had this symptom.
In a process of elimination, I realized yesterday that the only difference was that change/addition of Truvia, so I decided to Google Truvia side effects. The light was dawning that perhaps the one change I could document, Truvia, was contributing to the strange mouth sores (new for me).
Tonight, found your commentary site and noted a similar response from a Karen Todd. Sounds like what I have been experiencing.
No more of that particular vice – I’ll go back to my favorite sweetener – Xylitol.
Back to the old adage – “don’t mess with Mother Nature…” Anonymous reader
..Truvia and bad taste..
I too tried Truvia, had an adverse response and found your website while googling Truvia’s side effects. Two days ago I bought some Blue Bunny ‘fudgecicles’ sweetened with Truvia. I ate one in the car on the way home; it left a slightly bad taste in my mouth but once I popped in a piece of minty gum, the taste went away. That evening after dinner I ate another and then nothing I put in my mouth made it go away. I liken it to the ‘sucking on a rusty pipe’ taste I get from some antibiotics. I’m coming up on 48 hours from the first one I ate and I still have the taste at the back of my tongue. I’m curious if anyone else has reported this symptom. Needless to say I’m returning or pitching those suckers!!! Penny Cherrix – Salt Lake City, UT
..Truvia and bloating, constipation, hives and itching..
Two anonymous readers reported resp. bloating and constipation after using Truvia, and severe hives and itching. Sigh. And Stevia is STILL illegal!

Apples and their medicinal values
MEDICINAL QUALITIES OF APPLES
thanks to http://www.herballegacy.com
The cancer fighting qualities contained in a fresh, unpeeled apple are impressive. There are numerous studies whose findings are promising to anyone seeking to prevent or treat cancer.
Lung cancer may be at the top of the list. The findings of the Nurses’ Health Study revealed apples were one of the fruits associated with a decreased risk of lung cancer. This was found to be more significant among the women rather than the men. A 40% to 50% decrease in lung cancer was found in participants of a study in Hawaii. Of both men and women, those who ate more apples, onions, and white grapefruit saw the most reduction of the cancer. In a Finnish study, apples were the only specific foods that were inversely related to lung cancer risk. Apples have an anti-tumor action. This was evident in the Zutphen Elderly study. Reduced incidences of tumors in the respiratory tract were detected in those who received more flavinoids from fresh fruit, like the apple.
Other promising news for the lungs means better over-all health. Lung function increases with apple consumption. A study of men and women in the Netherlands indicated an increase of lung function in those who ate more apples. Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, often a result of smoking cigarettes, was reduced while pulmonary function increased. These results were especially evident in those who ate an apple five times a week. Other pulmonary complaints were decreased also. Incidents of asthma and its cohort -allergies were reduced. Both were shown to be inversely affected by consuming fresh apples.
Lung cancer was not the only form of cancer worked on by apples. Many of the same studies previously cited proved apple’s value with other forms. Among these are; prostate cancer, colon cancer, breast cancer, and leukemia. A list of known biological activities associated with apples include: anticancer, antileukemic, antimutagenic, antimetastic,
antineoplastic (stomach), antiproliferant, and antitumor of the skin, pancreas, stomach breast and bladder.
In addition to important cancer fighting constituents, apples will aid the digestive system and related diseases. First of all, apples fight obesity. The fiber in the form of pectin is just one factor that affects weight. The pectin has and amphoteric action. This means it is either laxative or antidiarrheal, according to the body’s needs.
The malic and tartaric acids contribute to the apple’s usefulness as a digestive aid. These acids keep food from fermenting in the stomach, allowing for better digestion. The apple itself is digested completely with in 85 minutes. The acids and enzymes that help it to be digested so quickly also aid in digesting other foods.
Pectin can interfere with the body’s ability to absorb dietary fats. Obesity is a huge factor in Type II diabetes. Blood sugar is also a factor. Pectin aids in the reduction of blood sugar. So among apple’s antiobesity, nutritive and digestive qualities is revealed its antidiabetic action.
Apples are cleaners. Among some of the reported actions are benefits for those exposed to radiation. It has been reported that apples are beneficial in binding radioactive residues and helping to excrete them from the body. Apples can also help remove toxic metals like lead from the body.
Maybe one of the most important cleaning actions provided by apples has to do with cholesterol. The pectin, as well as other constituents, play a role in reducing the bad cholesterol in the body. This is good news for blood vessels and the heart. Because apple is also a hemetic, it can build the blood as well as cleanse it.
A reduced risk of cardiovascular disease has been associated with apple consumption. In the Women’s Health Study, it was found that those whose diets were very high in flavonoids, especially from apples and onions, had a 35% reduction in risk of cardiovascular events. The Finnish study found a lower risk of thromibic stroke among apple consumers. The Zutphen Study concluded “flavinoid intake was strongly correlated with a decreased mortality from heart disease in elderly men and also negatively correlated with myocardial infarction.”
This same study showed apple’s constituents to have an effect on cerebrovascular health. The apple provides antioxidants for the body. Oxidative damage on cells by free radicals contributes to age related brain disorders. Alzheimers and senility are examples. Apples have been cited as antialzheimerian. A study conducted by the University of Massachusetts suggests that whether the oxidation is caused by normal metabolism, dietary insufficiencies or genetic deficiencies, apples can help.
The apple also contains qualities that help prevent the eye and nerve damage associated with diabetes. This happens when too much sugar alcohol, called sorbitol gets trapped in nerve and eye cells. Apples have the quality of being an Aldose Reductase inhibitor. This quality may be means of delaying this common effect of diabetes.
Apples have and ACE inhibitor quality. This aspect helps relax arteries, lower blood pressure and improves the pumping ability of the heart.
Most of the apples medicinal qualities treat chronic illness. ‘An apple a day’ is an important adage to follow in order to enjoy its effects in these areas. There are so many more benefits inherent in the apple. One source cites; Antianemic, antibacterial, antiinflamitory, antimenopauseal, antiCrohn’s, antiedemic, anti PMS, antiseptic, antiyeast, antiviral, capillary protective, hepatoprotective, diuretic, fungicide, nematicided (round worms), and neuroprotective are a few not mentioned before. Still other sources assign tonic, astringent and hypocholeteraemic, disinfectant, cardiac stimulant and cephalic
