Deciding what to do when the experts disagree is a dicey matter, especially when it comes to our well-being. Then when we view the enormous amount of money at stake in health care, it comes as little wonder that the system has been in a steadily worsening crisis for more than two decades.
It used to be that families trusted and depended upon their family doctor for genuine concern and good advice. Living in an age where that’s no longer available it seems that we have to question everything and become our own advocates. I was reminded of this while reading an article in Natural News this morning. The journalist was reporting on a study that compared disease rates among vaccinated and unvaccinated children. This ongoing study in Germany revealed a clear disparity showing that children who had been vaccinated were up to five times more likely to contract a disease than children who developed their own immune systems naturally (without vaccines). That news flies in the face of the big push by the U.S. pharmaceutical industry to sell vaccines for everyone.
The data involved 8,000 unvaccinated children whose overall disease rates were compared to disease rates among the general population (the vast majority of that group had been vaccinated). The shocking outcome was that in every single disease category, unvaccinated children fared far better than vaccinated children in terms of both disease prevalence and severity. According to Natural News, “…the evidence suggests that vaccines are neither effective nor safe.”
The article points out that unfortunately, “No study of health outcomes of vaccinated people versus unvaccinated has ever been conducted in the U.S. by CDC (Centers for Disease Control) or any other agency…”
In view of the controversy, and how difficult it is to get good advice, it really becomes our responsibility as parents to become better informed. Here are a couple of links to information that gives you both sides of the story. http://www.thinktwice.com/ and
