I hope you can read this page
properly. I am having difficulty with the formatting. Thanks for your
patience!
This page is just various bits of
information that I have gathered from various sources. I have lumped
them together in essay form according to subject. This page is an
example of “one thing leads to another”. I seem to find “snippets” of
information that can be connected by a thin thread. I read something in
a book, see something on the Internet, or I hear something on television
or radio. When I have seen several things, my mind churns and I go,
“Ah!”. I connect the “snippets” together and come to a conclusion.
These “snippets” are “straws that show which way the current is set”. I
have put these “straws” together here. Some of the “straws” are of
course “anecdotal”. I try to give my sources, but sometimes I can’t
remember where I “heard” or read something. You can make of my
“conclusions” what you will. (By the way, I am not a feminist. You
will notice as you read this web site, that I use “old fashioned”
grammar sometimes. I still believe in the grammatical rule of using the
pronoun “he” for when the gender of the person is not known. I like
showing my politically-incorrectness and so I use old-fashioned gender
specific nouns.) I hope all the links on this page work when you try
and access them. Hopefully, I have included enough other information
about the linked pages, in case the links don’t work and you want to
look the page up on “Google”. (www.google.com)
The
Human Immune System and Sanitation
One of the greatest “health”
controversies on the Internet is about vaccines. There is tons of
mainstream information on the health benefits of giving children their
“routine” immunizations. There are (possibly) even more web sites
giving information on the dangers of vaccines. If you read what I have
read, giving a child his “shots” should never be thought of as
“routine”. It is difficult to sort out all the information and know who
is telling the truth. I personally tend to believe the “alternative
press” a little more than the “mainstream press”. I know that the
“mainstream health bodies” usually have a connection to the makers of
the vaccines. The connection is a lot of the time financial. The
“mainstream press” just parrots back what the “mainstream health bodies”
say anyway. The journalists rarely check out their stories to see who
is telling the truth. It is very difficult to know which “alternative”
source to believe. You can read various opinions from tons of doctors
and “lay people”. In this section, are some things I have learned. I
have NOT sorted out all the facts and come up with a solution to the
vaccine controversy. I am not telling anyone what to believe. This is
just some “food for thought”. I originally meant this first section to
be a couple of paragraphs or so. But, as I told Vladimir, “I can’t
write so few words”. I was hoping to put more subjects on here as I
thought about things. We will have to see what happens. I know it
looks as if I am giving you a lot of information here. Yet, I am
leaving out a lot of details to the “straws” which make up my “paper on
sanitation”. This is just the “gist” so you can get started.
Sanitation and the
Immune System
I have a collection of “old” books.
Some of my favorite subjects are, cooking, health and “keeping house”.
I have quite a few books that have, “household hints” and ways to “keep
house” in them. (Not that I follow their dictates as often as I
should.) Most of these books were printed before 1960. The ones
printed before the 1950’s, really stress cleaning and sanitation.
One book I managed to pick up is,
“Bacteriology and Sanitation” prepared by Glenn M. Hobbs, Ph.D. It is
from the “American School of Correspondence”. The last copyright in it
is, 1917. This book talks about proper sanitation of the “Canal Zone”
(Panama) amongst other things. There is an interesting table on page
37, showing “The ten leading causes of death in Massachusetts in order
of frequency” for 1856 and 1904. In 1856 most of the diseases were
infectious diseases. The leading killer was “consumption”
(tuberculosis). In 1904 “consumption” was the second leading killer and
“heart disease” was first. It would seem that as people cleaned up and
became sanitary, rates of infectious disease decreased. As to the
“heart disease”, look at the “healthy eating links page”, to find out
more. The epidemic of heart disease is due in part to “our” going from
eating a traditional diet of animal fats to eating things like partially
hydrogenated vegetable oils.
I remember reading “The American Way
of Birth” by Jessica Mitford. I think I am confusing two sources
here…...but Jessica Mitford writes about how “they” discovered that hand
washing could eradicate “childbed fever”. I once saw a documentary via
PBS on the history of nursing in the U.S. Was it there, that I learned
that women dreaded having their babies in hospitals? I don’t remember,
it was either by that documentary, or in “The American Way of Birth”. (I
can't remember my source exactly, and I can't find it in "The American
Way of Birth", I might not be looking in the right place.) It was only
the poorest women who would have their babies in a hospital. Women with
any means at all, had their babies at home. Women in the hospitals
usually died from “childbed fever”. Well, the doctor would go in and do
a postmortem examination on the dead woman. Then he would go directly
in and deliver another baby. That woman would die from the fever too.
It was an ongoing cycle. There was no hand washing between patients. I
think I read or saw (although I am not sure now) that women, who were
forced to go to a hospital for delivery, would sit outside on the steps
waiting until the last minute before entering. They knew they would
surely die inside. It was when doctors like Oliver Wendell Holmes
started advocating the washing of hands, that this fever was
eradicated. Oliver Wendell Holmes lived from 1809 to 1894.
It was during the late 19th and
early 20th centuries that the Western World started pushing cleanliness
and sanitation. They discovered “germs” as an agent of disease. As
with any age, there were competing theories about all sorts of things.
In the field of “infectious diseases”, two rivals were Louis Pasteur and
Antoine Bechamp. Pasteur and his “theories” are well known. One seldom
hears about Bechamp anymore. You can read about both men and their
rivalry at the Sumaria.net website.
http://www.sumeria.net/bechamp/bechamp.html
“Bechamp, [Pierre Jacques] Antoine
(born 1816, died 1908). French chemist and implacable opponent of
Pasteur and the germ theory. Born at Bassing (Lorraine). Spent some
years in Rumania. Returned to France and studied in Strassburg, where
he met Pasteur. Bechamp became Prof. of Medical Chemistry and Pharmacy
in Montpellier, and in 1874 Dean of the Free Faculty of Medicine in
Lille. Resigned after eleven years and settled first in Havre and then
in Paris, where he died in a room in the Quarter Latin aged 92. For
some years B. attained great notoriety with his theory of microzymas but
this is now forgotten. (Biog. and portrait in Hume, E.D., Bechamp or
Pasteur? A lost chapter in the history of biology, Chicago 1923)”
Another neat book I found was, “A
Tale of Soap & Water” by Grace T. Hallock. “The Historical Progress of
Cleanliness”. Published by “Cleanliness Institute” 1928. “A Tale of
Soap & Water” is a very nicely illustrated children’s book. It is
basically the history of soap and water. When I looked up the
“Cleanliness Institute” on the Internet, I discovered that it was a
consortium of the soap and glycerin manufacturers. This book is a piece
of propaganda from the soap manufacturers. Evidently, a great deal of
the 20th century’s push to “come clean”, was fueled by soap companies.
I am always a little skeptical about large companies. My distrust of
large companies probably started from the “socialist” teaching I had as
a teenager. There are times when my skepticism is justified. Other
times it is something I have to control my thinking on. Like when I see
that a, food “product” was produced by a large soap company. I tend to
jokingly wonder if any soap accidentally made its way into the food
package. (As if the food and the soap were manufactured in the same
factory, AND some of the soap would spill into the food.)

There is something I have heard of
lately called the “dirt theory”. (I do not know if that is the proper
name for it.) From what I understand it says that a little dirt won’t
kill you. Which means, that you need some infections in order to build
up a healthy immune system. Here are some things I know in regards to
this “dirt theory”. This goes back to the vaccine controversy.
The smallpox vaccine is used as an
example by the anti-vaccine people on the net. It is generally
believed, by a lot of people apparently, that it was not the vaccine
that caused “us” to eradicate smallpox. It was proper sanitation.
There was an address given by William Howard Hay M.D. on June 25, 1937
before the Medical Freedom Society. It is copied from the Congressional
Record. It was read in support of the Lemke bill to abolish compulsory
vaccination. (It would seem that this bill did not pass as I was
subjected to many mandatory vaccines in my day.) There are web sites,
which quote from this address. But only one I found seemed to have the
“whole of”, or a maybe a “better part” of, the address. The longer
version was at what should have been a really good anti-vaccine
website. All sorts of sites have links to this site. That website WAS
VaccineWebsite.com at www.whale.to/
. It is not there now. You can try and access the page with William
Howard Hay’s address, via google’s cache of it. It is back. Try
this one http://www.whale.to/ .
http://www.whale.to/v/hay1.html is the address by William Howard Hay
M.D.
A shorter version of Dr. Hay’s
address can be found at
http://goodlight.net/nyvic/health/disease/dr_hay.htm
The address by Dr. William Howard
Hay deals with, among other examples, the Philippine sanitation and
vaccination campaign at the time of the American occupation there.
If you want to know the official Army medical account of that time,
please look here. You will have to search for it. It was a
wonderful source of information. It isn't at this address anymore.
Darn!

Here is another anti-vaccination
article
http://newtimes.rway.com/2000/wellness00/immune.shtml It is
interesting in that it talks about the connection of exposure to
infection and the strength of the immune system. "Shots Heard
'round the World Once considered the key to preserving public health,
immunizations come under unfriendly fire By Spider Rybaak"
http://www.ctanet.fr/vaccination-information/ LIGUE NATIONALE POUR
LA LIBERTE DES VACCINATIONS (FRENCH NATIONAL LEAGUE FOR LIBERTY IN
VACCINATION )
Here is an article from the BBC
about cleanliness in the kitchen. I think if you follow this
advice you will do yourself a disservice. (I stuck this here because I
wasn't sure where to stick it exactly.)
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/health/1056364.stm
The “dirt theory” is, that as we
cleaned up and became “sanitary” we weakened our immune systems. We
were not exposed to common infections, which strengthened our immune
systems. As a side note, it is well known that for healthy digestion we
need friendly bacteria in our “gut”. But with the high amounts of
antibiotics in the food chain and the over-prescribing of antibiotics in
past years, we have less and less of these bacteria in our bodies. The
sales of various stomach remedies are astronomical. I should know, I
used to work as a cashier in a discount drug store. (discount chemists
shop)
I was watching a documentary on the
History Channel recently. It was about the development of the polio
vaccine and the famous March of Dimes campaign. At one point the
researchers were puzzled as to how polio became an epidemic so fast.
The scientists discovered that it was our sanitation, which caused this
to happen. Polio was evidently a common virus in the past. But because
of the great push for sanitation, “we” did not develop a natural
immunity to polio like “we” had in the past.
Someone we know from our Bible
Fellowship, was talking about “our” immune systems. He brought up the
well known saying they tell tourists visiting Mexico, “Don’t drink the
water”. He reminded us that “our” immune systems are “weaker” than that
of the Mexicans. “We” get sick from a sort of dysentery if “we” drink
their water. But the Mexicans can drink the water. They do not get
sick from it.
In Canada, not all the water systems
of the country are chlorinated. In recent years, they had some serious
e-coli outbreaks due to contaminated water. I heard a debate on CBC
Radio One about the issue of adding chlorine to the water. One person
phoned in and talked about the disease agents similar to the one in the
Mexican water. This person had lived overseas for a time. They
wondered if it would not be better for Canadians to develop immunities
to some of the minor water born pathogens. The question is, do we add a
potentially harmful chemical to our drinking water that will kill all
the disease agents? Or do we develop a strong immune system like they
have in other countries? There are better ways of cleaning the water
than by using chlorination by the way.
Now for the last thought in this
thread. (At least as far as I can remember it now. This is the last
thing on my note.) The chickenpox vaccine--- is it really something that
should be given to children? When the drug company came out with a
vaccine for chickenpox, the CBC television news program “The National”
had a doctor on who was warning about the dangers of giving such a
vaccine. He said that no one knew how long the effects of the vaccine
would last. It is well known, that chickenpox in adults is much more of
a problem than it is in children. The death rate in adults with
chickenpox is much higher that it is for children. Adults get much more
“sick” from chickenpox than children do. What if the effects of the
vaccine lasted only a few years and then we saw an epidemic of adult
chickenpox? Then I read a BBC News article about how some adults who
once had chickenpox as children, develop shingles later in life.
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/health/1961565.stm
If you have ever had, or know anyone who has had shingles, then you
know it is something you would not wish upon your worst enemy. The
article said that adults who are repeatedly exposed to children who have
chickenpox, strengthen their immune systems against shingles. So, if
you immunize children against chickenpox it could hurt adults in the
long run.
Wait! There’s more.
Somewhere along my reading and
listening, I may have heard “something” suggesting another point of
interest. It seems like I heard, that “they” have come up with
“evidence?” suggesting that getting a disease and fighting it off does
something different to the body than just getting the resistance by
immunization for that disease. I think the comment was that building
the resistance by getting the disease was better than building
resistance via vaccine. Of course I could be dreaming that I heard or
read this.
Then there is the part to this
thread suggested by my local veterinarian. She was telling us that our
cat had a different immune system than humans. The resistance to the
diseases that the vaccine was for, can only last a year or two (maybe
three?) in cats. In humans they were claiming that the resistance
lasted a life time. (Now they are saying that the resistance to some
diseases won’t last a life time in humans. I think this new idea is
just the government’s way of making sure “we” get inoculated with these
new anti-terrorist vaccines.) This all made me wonder why a cats immune
system would be so different from ours. I just brushed it off as “cats
are cats, and we are humans” and left it at that. I was reminded of
what the Canadian doctor that the CBC interviewed about the then “new”
chicken pox vaccine. (see above) Then eventually the U.S. government
said that anyone vaccinated against “small pox” would have to get the
new vaccine for it. AND they were going to pass a law, which would
MANDATE that we all get the new small pox vaccine. They said that the
resistance we had to smallpox would not last a lifetime. So I kept
thinking of what the Vet. said about my cat’s immune system. Then I
thought of how we humans were originally formed out of the dust of the
earth. Some parts of us were not “created”. This is because when God
creates something he does not have to “create” it again. Does this
mean, that when God created the animals, and he created their immune
systems, that we got a similar immune system to the animals? I know I
am speculating and that is not a good thing to do. This would be an
interesting thing to study from The Bible. But the real question is,
does all this mean that we have been inoculating ourselves with vaccines
and that only now are scientists beginning to learn anything about the
long-term effects of doing that to ourselves? I think the answer to the
last question is “Yes!”.
Back to the comment by the
veterinarian… I know there is a controversy about vaccines in pets.
People are concerned that their pets are getting too much of the vaccine
at one time. There is a debate as to how long the effects of the
vaccines last in animals. So, some people are buying their animal
vaccines themselves and giving smaller doses than what a Vet. gives.

There seems to be a link between
vaccines and autism. It is heavily anecdotal. Parents report that
their children show no signs of autism. They are healthy with normal
intelligence. Then the child is given one vaccine or another. Suddenly
over night, the child loses his ability to speak and develops behavior
problems. The doctors eventually diagnose autism. Some children with
this later onset autism, suffer from bowel problems as well. One mother
took her son to a doctor and they did tests on the bowel. They
administered a medicine that allowed the bowel to absorb a dye. The
child showed marked improvement from that drug. So the parents figured
out a way to get it for their child. Now a sort of “black market” has
arisen so parents can get this drug. This drug has never been approved
for this use. It is very surreptitious the way they have to get this
drug.
In England, the MMR (Measles, Mumps
and Rubella) vaccine, is seen by some as a leading candidate for causing
autism. I have been following the debate about this vaccine for months
now. One study will say there is a link between this vaccine and
autism. The next study says there is no link. The British government
says that the vaccine is safe. Parents don’t know what to believe.
This means, they either won’t vaccinate their children, or they opt for
the “single jab”. The “single jab” is the single virus vaccine as
opposed to the three in one. Now one of the only manufacturers of the
single measles vaccine has stopped making it. They can’t get single
jabs in the U.K. anymore.

Here is an article about scientists
with "non-mainstream" ideas.
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/health/3570098.stm BBC News Health,
"Science creates 'own mavericks'".
Then there are those who say that
the vaccines have mercury in them. There are others who say there is a
link to mercury and autism. What I wonder, is if something in the
vaccine could cause children to be unable to absorb nutrients. I heard
on the short-wave radio that they found some of the disease agent in the
vaccine in the intestines of a child. Could this be the reason for the
bowel disease? Do the vaccines cause the intestines to be coated with
something? If the child has severe diarrhea, then no nutrients will be
absorbed. Without proper nutrients, there can be severe neurological
problems. Could this be why, the medicine that causes the intestines to
absorb dye, seems to help some children? Could the medicine allow the
child to absorb nutrients, when they aren’t able to normally? The more
I look at vaccines, the more puzzled I get.
