Do you have a credible source?

YES

http://www.wnho.net/vaccine_coverup.htm

Neither the site (world natural health organziation) nor the author
(Baylock) are, IMHO, credible.


Yess, we know you aren't for health *freedom*


Nothing about that site promotes true health freedom. For health freedom
to
be real, it must include freedom from bull****. Thus, that site is
anti-health freedom.

Perhaps you can find some peer-reviewed articles to back your views


http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scientific_fraud

Perhaps you will find your views there.


You will find good information he

www.quackwatch.com.

Cue Jan to snip that. She is as predictable as a fart after a bowl of
beans.


Typical of Mark.


http://www.chelationtherapyonline.co...p182.htm#quack

Here is the photo of the man behind the web site
http://www.quackwatch.com/index.html. He often attacks various health
products and practices by making false claims about them, as if those claims
came FROM them, and then knocks down these straw men of his own device.

One of the most evil people on the web is a former psychiatrist who lashes
out against just about every possible alternative health product or
practice. It is, in fact, a hall of fame. If you are mentioned in his
pages you can assume you are doing a good job!

He attacks chelation therapy, of course, but he selects a "straw man" to
attack. In other words, the early explanation of how chelation therapy
works is well proven to be false, even though many people are still
repeating those lies. But, the more thoughtful intravenous doctors have
discarded this early theory and gone on to the second theory, mentioned on
another page (Click Here).

After EDTA was found effective in chelating and removing toxic metals from
the blood, some scientists postulated that hardened arteries could be
softened if the calcium in their walls was removed. The first indication
that EDTA treatment might benefit patients with atherosclerosis came from
Clarke, Clarke, and Mosher, who, in 1956, reported that patients with
occlusive peripheral vascular disease said they felt better after treatment
with EDTA [American Journal of Medical Science 230:654-666, 1956]. (Source)

Andrew Wakefield is a sad case. He started out with what I am

I don't know why Wakefield said what he said.

The reality of the matter is that vaccines save millions of lives a
year.
And they have been proven safe.

http://www.wnho.net/vaccine_coverup.htm

Do you have a credible source?

YES

http://www.wnho.net/vaccine_coverup.htm



NO

This is a story about a letter that claims that a research study found
harm to children for thimerosal preservative in vaccines. NO referrence
to the original study is given, only an opinion. This does not constitute
a credible source. In fact, let's look at the source. This website is
also campaigning against fluoride, monosodium glutamate, aspartame,
genetically modified foods, chemtrails [!], Codex Alimentarius, and, of
course, vaccinations in general. They also sell "ministerial credentials"
up to and including "ordained minister" "if you feel it's something you
need".

--Rich


On page 16 as well, Dr. Johnson makes an incredible statement, one that
defines the problem we have in this country with the promoters of these
vaccines. He states, "As an aside, we found a cultural difference between
vaccinologist and environmental health people in that many of us in the
vaccine arena have never thought about uncertainty factors before. We tend
to be relatively concrete in our thinking." Then he says, "One of the big
cultural events in that meeting ---was when Dr. Clarkson repetitively
pointed out to us that we just didn't get it about uncertainty, and he was
actually quite right."

This is an incredible admission. First, what is a vaccinologist? Do you go
to school to learn to be one? How many years of residency training are
required to be a vaccinologist? Are there board exams? It's a stupid term
used to describe people who are obsessed with vaccines, not that they
actually study the effects of the vaccines, as we shall see throughout
this meeting. Most important is the admission by Dr. Johnson that he and
his fellow "vaccinologist" are so blinded by their obsession with forcing
vaccines on society that they never even considered that there might be
factors involved that could greatly affect human health, the so-called
"uncertainties."

Back to Jeff's statement:

And they have been proven safe.

Indeed they have not.



Actually, I have to agree with you on this one, Jan. Like most health
interventions (including "natural" ones) vaccination is not 100.00% safe.
For example, about 80 people per million who recieve smallpox vaccination
will suffer adverse reactions, and one or two, on average, will die. Six in
30,000 people vaccinated for polio will actually get polio from the vaccine.
Hardly anything is completely safe, although no vaccination is as dangerous
as driving across town.

The hotlots idea has never been proven. Vaccines have prevented something
like 15,000,000 deaths a year. There are some very serious reactions. But
nothing like the 15,000,000 lives they save a year. The benefits of vaccines
far outweight the risks.

Nothing is 100% safe. People die from drinking tap water.

Compared to the risks of dying from vaccine-preventable diseases, vaccines
are safe. Something like 15,000,000 lives are saved every year by vaccines.
Compared to that, there are only a handful of serious vacciine reactions.

Only to someone living in a fantasy world where "safe" means "zero
risk." In reality-land, we only call something "unsafe" if the risk of
it causing injury exceeds its benefits. For example, both driving while
sober and driving while drunk are capable of causing serious injury to
oneself or others. We call the first one "safe" and the second one
"unsafe" because being drunk while driving substantially increases the
risk of causing injury without offering any benefit. We have no problems
talking about safe driving and safe drivers.

In the case of vaccines, the risks of *not* giving them vastly exceed the
risks of giving them. Neither option carries zero risk; the non-
vaccination option is far riskier than the vaccination option. Refusing
to acknowledge those risks won't make them go away. Sins of omission are
no better than sins of commission.


Risk exceed the benefits means very little to those damaged for life.


What about those who are damaged from life from perinatal rubella? Does the
risk mean much them?

Jeff's statement is untrue.

For more information, read the entire website, every parent has a right to
know.


Absolutely. And every parent has a right to know about the risks of not
getting vaccinated and the 15,000,000 people who are saved each year. They
have a right to know that people die horrible deaths from pertussis,
diptheria, tetanus, chicken pox, measles (plus about 0.1% have permanent
disability afterwords), etc. Parents should be given all the information,
not just your one-sided view.

In the 1950s, which was more concerning to parents? That their kids would
get polio or that there would be a nuclear bomb? Polio. Ever see an iron
lung in hospitals? There are about 50 left, all on patients from the 50s
and 60s. Most of them have been recycled or given to museums.

According to that site, about 3% of the 3,475 research places that report to
NIH have had to report some form of scientific misconduct. That is an
extremely good track record. About 100 instances of reports of scientific
misconduct (not all of which turn out to be true) with probably around
100,000 researchers. That is a rate of about 0.1% per year.

That is pretty good, if you ask me. Of course, the goal is always 0.0%.

Can you please give peer-reviewed evidence that Barret's claims are false?
If he makes all these false claims, it should be easy to find evidence that
his claims are false.

Wow. With all these false claims, you should be able to find peer-reviewed

Yeah, and if I spent a few hundred dollars on a treatment, I would claim I
felt better, too.

Can you please provide peer-reviewed evidence that patients who get the
chelation therapy have few heart attacks, live longer, less chest pain or
any other objective measure of benefit?
