Swine flu Vaccine Alert from Dr. Mecola

[Guest guest]

Below is from Dr. Mercola's Newsletter.  He cautions about use of colloidal

silver, let me tell you, i take this when i feel my health is threatened, and i

am one  who has lots of allergic reactions to almost anything. I take the CS in

the morning and noon time when sick, then at night before i hop into bed, i take

the selenium methionine (Me) which is known to usher the silver out of the

body.  And silver worked tremendously for me. When i am healed then i stop

taking the CS and switch back to methyl type of selenium.

Warning: Swine Flu Shot Linked to Killer Nerve Disease

 

 

 

A warning that the swine flu vaccine has been linked to a deadly nerve disease

has been sent by the UK Government to senior neurologists in a confidential

letter.

The letter from the Health Protection Agency, the official body that oversees

public health, was leaked to The Daily Mail, leading to demands to know why the

information has not been given to the public before the vaccination of millions

of people, including children, begins.

It tells the neurologists that they must be alert for an increase in a brain

disorder called Guillain-Barre Syndrome (GBS), which could be triggered by the

vaccine. GBS attacks the lining of the nerves, causing paralysis and inability

to breathe, and can be fatal.

The letter refers to the use of a similar swine flu vaccine in the United States

in 1976 when:

 

More people died from the vaccination than from swine flu

The vaccine may have increased the risk of contracting GBS by eight times

The vaccine was withdrawn after just ten weeks when the link with GBS became

clear

The U.S. Government was forced to pay out millions of dollars to those affected

Concerns have already been raised that the new vaccine has not been sufficiently

tested and that the effects, especially on children, are unknown.

Dr. Mercola's Comments:

 

 

 

As mentioned in this article, the 1976 swine flu vaccine campaign caused more

harm than good, and there are indications that the current campaign may end up

being a devastating repeat or worse.

At that time, one person died from the actual swine flu, while 25 people died

from adverse reactions to the vaccine, and several hundred people developed

crippling Guillain-Barré Syndrome.

According to The Daily Mail, the British Health Protection Agency sent letters

to 600 neurologists on July 29th, warning them to be on the lookout for cases of

Guillain- Barré Syndrome once the swine flu vaccine campaign begins.

Why the warning was not sent out to general practitioners, who will be

administering the shot, seems an odd choice if public safety is indeed the main

concern.

This confidential correspondence between the British public health agency and

neurologists in the U.K. is the first clue that all is probably not well with

this fast-tracked pandemic vaccine.

Are You Willing to Let Them Experiment on Your Child?

 

According to a recent report from CNN, the U.S. is set to receive as many as 600

million doses of swine flu vaccine, enough for 300 million Americans.

Based on the recommendations from the World Health Organization’s (WHO)

advisory group on immunization matters, the top priority groups that stand to

receive the vaccine first include:

 

 

Pregnant women

 

Children over the age of 6 months with chronic health conditions

 

Adults with chronic health conditions such as chronic respiratory disease,

asthma, or obesity

 

Health care workers

However, pregnant women, children, and those whose immune systems are already

compromised are also at even greater risk to suffer severe side effects from the

vaccine, as the adjuvants in the vaccine are designed to reduce your immune

function.

Barbara Loe Fisher of the National Vaccine Information Center (NVIC) recently

warned about the campaign underway to turn schools into virtual vaccination

clinics. In many U.S. states, school has already started, so the decision of

whether or not to vaccinate your child may become an issue you’ll have to deal

with in the coming weeks.

Swine Flu Drug of Choice Causes Side Effects in Half of All Children

 

In the U.K. the hysteria over swine flu led to flu drugs being offered online,

without a doctor’s prescription. This is incomprehensible, considering their

risk. Just a couple of weeks ago I reported on brand new study findings that the

swine flu drug of choice, Tamiflu, caused one or more side effects in OVER HALF

of all children who received it!

Side effects included:

 

 

Nausea – 29 percent

 

Stomach pain or cramps – 20 percent

 

Neuropsychiatric side effects including inability to think clearly, nightmares,

and “strange behavior†– nearly 20 percent

 

Sleep problems – 12 percent

The British Medical Association’s lead expert on swine flu went on the record

stating that Tamiflu is now being overused.

Keep in mind that, although the swine flu has spread across the world it appears

to have decreased in severity. The vast majority of cases are very mild,

requiring only a few days in bed.

In fact, the regular seasonal flu is still far worse, and more deadly, than the

swine flu.

How Vaccines Can Cause so Much Harm

 

The intended effect of a vaccination is to help you build immunity to a

potentially harmful organism. However, your body’s immune system is already

designed to do this in response to organisms that invade your body naturally.

Most disease-causing organisms enter your body through the mucous membranes of

your nose, mouth, pulmonary system or your digestive tract. These mucous

membranes have their own immune system, called the IgA immune system, which

fights off invading organisms at the point of entry, reducing or even

eliminating the need for activation of your body’s immune system.

A vaccination, however, delivers either live or attenuated (dead) viruses

directly into your tissues and blood stream through injection, completely

bypassing your body’s first line of defense. And when combined with an immune

adjuvant, your body’s immune system kicks into high gear in response to the

vaccination. If your immune system is too weak to deal with the assault, severe

side effects can occur.

Injecting organisms into your body to provoke immunity is contrary to nature,

and vaccination carries enormous potential to do serious damage to your health.

To emphasize this point further, when ingested, the vaccine adjuvant squalene is

actually recognized by your immune system as an oil molecule native to your

body. It has antioxidant properties and is found throughout your nervous system

and brain.

The difference between “good†and “bad†squalene is the route by which

it enters your body. Injection is an abnormal route of entry which incites your

immune system to attack all the squalene in your body, not just the vaccine

adjuvant.

As a result, your immune system will attempt to destroy the molecule wherever it

finds it, including in places where it occurs naturally, and where it is vital

to the health of your nervous system.

For more information about squalene, and the hazards it poses when included in

flu shots, please review my recent special report on the topic, if you have not

already done so.

Is Silver a Good Choice for the Swine Flu?

 

While I believe colloidal silver does have some merit, there may be significant

problems in using it for swine flu. We were initially going to carry one of the

finest silver products in our store, but I recently learned of new information

that changed my mind.

While silver will likely work to kill the swine flu virus, in many healthy

individuals it is likely to elicit a severe cytokine storm reaction. This is

basically a severe allergic inflammatory reaction that can occur in your lungs,

and could be fatal.

Additionally, silver is a heavy metal and there is no need for it in your body.

So when used acutely it may have benefit, but in the long run you will need to

eliminate the silver ions in your body with some type of detoxification process.

(Selenium methionine (Me) escorts ions out of the body - Melly)

I am currently consulting with some of the leading experts on a swine flu

product that I hope to have by the end of the year that will use completely

natural ingredients that build your immune system, and will not result in a

potentially fatal cytokine storm.

In the Meantime Consider Vitamin D as it Prevents Seasonal Flu

 

Just last week I reported on Canada’s decision to investigate the role of

vitamin D in protection against the swine flu. This is great, but there are

already overwhelming evidence showing that your vitamin D levels play a

significant role in your likelihood of getting the flu.

Vitamin D has been a hot research topic these past few years, and has been shown

to have remarkable impact on nearly every single disease studied.

Here is a list of four studies published this year, showing an inverse

association between respiratory tract infections and 25(OH)D levels. That is,

the higher your vitamin D level, the lower your risk of contracting colds, flu,

and other respiratory tract infections:

 

 

A 2007 study suggests higher vitamin D status enhances your immunity to

microbial infections. They found that subjects with vitamin D deficiency had

significantly more days of absence from work due to respiratory infection than

did control subjects.

 

A 2009 study on vitamin D deficiency in newborns with acute lower respiratory

infection (ALRI) confirmed a strong, positive correlation between newborns’

and mother’s vitamin D levels. Over 87 percent of all newborns and over 67

percent of all mothers had vitamin D levels lower than 20 ng/ml, which is a

severe deficiency state.

 

Newborns with vitamin D deficiency appear to have an increased risk of

developing ALRI, and since the child’s vitamin D level strongly correlates

with its mother’s, the researchers recommend that all mothers’ optimize

their vitamin D levels during pregnancy, especially in the winter months, to

safeguard their baby’s health.

 

A 2009 analysis of the Third National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey

examined the association between vitamin D levels and recent upper respiratory

tract infection (URTI) in nearly 19,000 subjects over the age of 12.

 

Recent URTI was reported by:

 

 

17 percent of participants with vitamin D levels of 30 ng/ml or higher

 

20 percent of participants with vitamin D levels between 10-30 ng/ml.

 

24 percent of participants with vitamin D levels below 10 ng/ml

 

The positive correlation between lower vitamin D levels and increased risk of

URTI was even stronger in individuals with asthma and chronic obstructive

pulmonary disease.

 

 

Another 2009 report in the journal Pediatric Research stated that infants and

children appear more susceptible to viral rather than bacterial infections when

deficient in vitamin D. And that, based on the available evidence showing a

strong connection between vitamin D, infections, and immune function in

children, vitamin D supplementation may be a valuable therapy in pediatric

medicine.

Granted, so far none of the research has focused on vitamin D’s impact on

pandemic flu. If your body has never been exposed to the antigens there is

chance that vitamin D might not be enough.

However, there’s no evidence suggesting that vitamin D supplementation would

cause you any harm or make your illness any worse.

On the contrary, if you are coming down with flu-like symptoms and have not

supplemented with vitamin D, Dr. Cannell, one of the world’s leading vitamin D

experts, recommends taking 50,000 IU’s a day for three days to treat the acute

infection.

Some researchers, including Dr. Cannell, believe the dose could even be as high

as 1,000 units per pound of body weight for three days.

Ultimately, your best bet is to maintain healthy levels of vitamin D around 60

ng/ml year-round. Please note that this is far higher than most doctors will

refer to as “normal.†Rather it is the optimal level you’ll want to

maintain for disease prevention.

I strongly recommend you watch my one-hour free vitamin D lecture along with my

video on vitamin D’s role in flu prevention for more in-depth information

about vitamin D’s role in flu prevention.

Taking care of your health to reduce or eliminate your risk of contracting the

flu is always going to be your safest bet. In addition to optimizing your

vitamin D levels, this past article details my other recommendations for

avoiding the flu naturally, and I strongly urge you to start incorporating these

changes into your life today

Melly,

This is not the first tiime Mercola has been off-base when it comes to silver. The first time, when he had a commentary parroting mainstream warnings about silver toxicity and Argyria, I just put it down to bad reporting by the staff members who often post under his name. This last warning makes me wonder if there is not some other motive.

I posted the following rebuttal on his site:

This is a very good article, but I beg to differ when it comes to colloidal silver. First of all, I have never heard or read any reputable reports of colloidal silver causing a cytokine storm, and many people have been using it for the Swine Flu. In fact, Pravda accurately reported that colloidal silver stops the Swine Flu and this was apparently borne out when a family reported that the same souce of colloidal silver cited by Pravda (Utopia Silver) eliminated the Swine Flu that infected their whole family (as verified by a doctor's throat swab) in only a couple of days during the initial outbreak in New York City.

You can see the Pravda article reprinted on the home page of www.tbyil.com

Furthermore, I have never seen any reports whatsoever for any harm caused by properly made and administered colloidal silver - the reports of the rare blue skin condition known as Argyria and other problems can virtually all be traced back to home-made ionic silver improperly made with tap water, usually further contaminated with salt and consumed in huge quantities over long periods of time. Either that or overuse of large particle non-colloidal silver products such as nose spray containing silver nitrate.

Recent studies in Hungary found specific silver receptors on human nervous tissue, and many suspect that such receptors will be found on many other types of cells in the body - which would indicate that silver is an essential mineral for optimum health. I wouuld also point out that it is used by NASA, Potters for Peace, the Hong Kong Subway System, and major hospital burn units, where even third degree burns are often healed without scarring.

Heavy metal cleansing and detoxes are always a good idea, but not usually needed for colloidal silver. According to the EPA, 90-95% of consumed silver is eliminated from the body within two days and 99% within a week. - and I continue to believe that it is an essential item to use to beat the Swine Flu.

I hope people realize that Pravda is not the State owned paper it used to be. It is now a junk newspaper on par with The Weekly World News in the United States. They make up stories and characters and have zero credibility.

I'm not saying colloidal silver has a problem. I'm saying that Pravda should not be offered as a source of information. It undermines an argument. Anyone doubting this should go to their website and peruse an issue of Pravda. You'll feel like you're standing in line at the supermarket.

Bob -

It reminds me of the war of words between Mercola, Mike Adams, and Byron Richards - who promote their own krill oil, green mussel oil, and fish oil respectively and put down the other two products in their articles and messages.

BTW, I like the krill oil a lot and feature it on my website. Contrary to what Adams says, the krill oil used in Mercola's product does not come from an area where krill are over-harvested.

Even so, the term "disengenous" is appropriate all the way round, imo. Putting down other's products whilst pimping your own indeed!

All the best,

oleander soup , "Bob Banever" <bbanever wrote:>> Melly,> > I believe Dr. Mercola is being disengenuous at best with this false and misleading info on colloidal/ionic silver. As soon as he finishes scaring you he say's he's coming out with his own anti-flu product that is "all natural". He's pimping his own product while scaring you away from another. He cites no studies linking silver ingestion to cyokene storms yet claims to have heard "new info" about this falsehood. Just nonsense, and I'm surprised at Dr. Mercola for such underhanded misinformation to health conscious consumers.
