Dissolving Illusions: Disease, Vaccines, and The Forgotten History

Product Information

And, as long as variola major remained in the world, anyone anywhere was at risk from the following: Though “fewer than 1% of all polio infections in children result in flaccid paralysis and most did eventually regain some or complete mobility”, given the large number infected during epidemics, this was a substantial number. In addition, as polio doesn’t affect the sensory nerves, many suffered intense pain and months to years to recover (e.g., Sass, 1996; Seavey, 1998; Silver, 2007). Dr. Suzanne Humphries: New Israeli polio vaccine campaign is not science-based. Posted on August 29, 2013 by The Refusers Part 3 will focus on the Cutter Incident, vaccine-associated polio, the role of tonsillectomies and provocation from other medical injections, and claims by Humphries that DDT and arsenic played a significant role, SV40 vaccine contamination, and discuss the Central Dogma that polio resulted from improved sanitation, together with other variables that partially explain the ascendance of polio; and

Dr Humphries completely misrepresents the study. She concludes somewhat simplistically that an “absence of rash” after measles vaccination signifies an “absence of cellular immune responses” to the virus which in turn leads to degenerative disease later on in life. However, contrary to the 1980s, we do not need to speculate about whether the measles vaccine stimulates cellular immunity or not — we can measure it. The measles vaccine stimulates a full adaptive immune response, involving both antibody mediated and cell-mediated immunity: Ask any physician who treated measles cases in the 1960s and they may paint a very different picture of the disease. While vitamin A has proven clinical benefits in the treatment of measles, it is far from the wonder drug that Dr Humphries claims it to be. Unfortunately, deaths and complications still occur despite widespread protocols on vitamin A therapy.

Dorit Rubinstein Reiss Suzanne Humphries’ bad advice on the Polio vaccine September 1, 2013. Who is Dorit Rubinstein Reiss ? Some say she is a Lawyer and Professional Pro-Vaccine Blogger . More on this.

Studies have found clear evidence of polio virus in sufferers of post-polio syndrome (e.g., Leparc-Goffart, 1996). One by one, smallpox, diphtheria, whooping cough, measles, and polio are all reviewed, and the historical record carefully examined. In the polio chapter you will find the connection between polio and DDT and arsenic exposure. A graph of DDT industrial production superimposed over polio mortality bears a striking exact correlation. Also, you will read about the role of the courageous Sister Kenny who devised a successful treatment for the children with paralyzed limbs which was bitterly opposed by mainstream orthopedic surgeons. You will learn that polio was never really conquered. You may recall the terrifying images of heart lung machines of the 1950’s graphically displayed by the March of Dimes polio advertisements in magazines. These are gone. They have been replaced by modern respirators, and polio has been renamed acute flaccid paralysis. Breast-feeding for more than three months was negatively associated with a diagnosis of clinical measles infection after adjustment for crowding, social class, measles vaccination, parity and sex with an odds ratio (95% confidence interval) of 0.69 (0.60–0.81) compared with those who never breast-fed. Measles vaccination was highly associated with low risk for measles with: 0.14 (0.13–0.16). Breast-feeding did not notably alter measles immunization efficacy. The data clearly shows that the introduction of the measles vaccine brought with it a tremendous (98%) drop in measles cases in the United States over the course of a few years. The fact that the pharmaceutical industry does its best to cover up damaged children from vaccination and refuses to take responsibility for any long term neurological issues doesn’t help the public trust. The book is an average read for solid information on whether to make a sensible choice of which vaccines are deemed relatively safe and which may not be.

Eight studies involving 2574 participants were included in this review and we found that there was no significant reduction in mortality in children receiving vitamin A. However, vitamin A megadoses (200,000 international units (IUs) on each day for two days) lowered the number of deaths from measles in hospitalized children under the age of two years. Total reported cases From 1951, MMWR separated paralytic and nonparalytic cases. Before 1951, MMWR included both as Total Cases. Condition: Good. Item in good condition. Textbooks may not include supplemental items i.e. CDs, access codes etc. About 8,000 babies and infants are diagnosed with the condition each year. In addition, some 1,200 – 1,500 preschool age children are recognized each year to have cerebral palsy ( Texas Adoption Resource Exchange, 2018).
