What is the rush to vaccinate young girls with Gardasil, the new cervical cancer vaccine. During July media reports carried the claim that Gardasil protects against four strains of the human papilloma virus (HPV). However there is no evidence of a direct, causal relationship between HPV and cervical cancer. Half the adult population is infected with HPV yet only 1 percent of women develop the cancer, and while equal numbers of men and women have HPV, men rarely develop penile cancers.
Screening for Cervical cancer has been around for the last few decades and women have been, to put it mildly summoned to take part in this taxpayer funded unpleasant test. Second wave feminism of the 1970’s saw the rise of activism around health issues for women generally and one of these was the right to pap smears for all women. The mass screening of the world’s women was hailed as a woman’s right with national screening programmes urging women to front up and submit themselves to this invasive test performed at regular intervals in order to detect the early stages of cervical and uterine cancer.
The year 2000 figures on the mortality rates for cervical cancer are 3.3 women per 100,000 population in the US 4 women per 100,000 population in Australia
When a woman undergoes a Pap smear a number of cells are collected from her cervix which are examined for changes which may be early warning signs that cancer can develop. Whether the tests are an accurate test of a woman’s gynaecological health or not is up for debate with Pap smears producing false-negative rate of 15% to 20%
I developed an interest in The Pap Smear Test in 1980’s after I received a phone call from my local GP informing me that my recent Pap Smear test was abnormal At a visit to my gynecologist I was told I had cervical dysplasia. This is also called cervical intraepithelial neoplasia. CIN or cervical intraepithelial neoplasia can be graded into CIN I, CIN II and CIN III. The Common belief is that these abnormal cells if left untreated will develop into cancer.
The next invasive and painful procedure that was inflicted upon my body and my naïve self was that of a colposcopy. This has to be one of the most degrading and painful procedures known to woman. I describe it as like being seated in a dentist’s chair only what is in the air is your vagina which is opened up and into which a male doctor peers into the cervix. The reason for this excrutiating experience is to take a biopsy of these cervical cells. I was told this would not be painful. Other than childbirth itself, I have yet to experience such agonising pain as he sunk his sharp blade into my cervix and lifted out my wayward cells. The recommended treatment was a hysterectomy. Being thirty- five years old and the mother of three children it was assumed that I would not want to mother again so let’s just whip out the uterus! Thank goodness I sought a second opinion on the necessity or otherwise of a hysterectomy.
So I’ve followed the cervical cancer and Pap smear research over the years and urge women to read up and think for themselves. Current mainstream thinking has it that there is a viral connection and that the wart virus Human papilloma Virus HPV is the causative agent in cervical cancer and surprise, surprise there is a cervical cancer vaccine in the pipelines And how the gullible media just loved the news.
A fox news report Cervical Cancer Vaccine Thursday, November 11, 2004 By Jennifer Warner A vaccine that protects women against a common sexually transmitted infection that leads to cervical cancer is now one step closer to reality. 1 The Reuters New Agency provided this lead: "A vaccine against a cervical cancer-causing virus can protect young women from infection - a success researchers hope will eventually allow them to prevent many cases of cervical cancer." 2
From the Australian Government Health and Ageing Website Human Papillomavirus (HPV) is the most common viral sexually transmitted infection, with estimates that up to 75 per cent of people are infected at some time. Whilst most infection resolves without symptoms, some human papillomavirus infections can persist and cause cancer. In particular, the role of HPV infection in causing cervical cancer, the second most common cause of cancer in women worldwide, is undisputed. 3 Inspite of the assurances from the Government website, HPV infection does not completely explain what causes cervical cancer. Most women with HPV don’t get cervical cancer, and some women get cervical cancer without having HPV infection.
The US national cancer institute says that direct causation has not been proven In the U.S., the incidence of cervical cancer in all women, with and without HPV, per 70-year lifetime is about 1%. In a controlled study of age-matched women, 67% of those with cervical cancer and 43% of those without were found to be HPV-positive. These cancers are observed on average only 20-50 years after infection. 4
Let’s look at some background HPV was proposed as the sexually-transmitted cause of cervical cancer in the 1980s This is a group of more than 100 viruses, about 30 of which are said to be linked to cervical cancer. However not all scientists were in agreement Nicholas Regush VACCINE MADNESS wrote: Back in 1992, however, a question was raised about the dominant and increasingly-entrenched theory that HPV causes cervical cancer. It came from Peter Duesberg and Jody Schwartz, molecular biologists at the University of California at Berkeley. Among the various issues they raised about the acceptance of HPV as the cause of cervical cancer was their fundamental concern that there was a lack of consistent HPV DNA sequences and consistent HPV gene expression in tumors that were HPV-positive. They instead suggested that "rare spontaneous or chemically induced chromosome abnormalities which are consistently observed in both HPV and HSV DNA-negative and positive cervical cancers induce cervical cancer." 5
In short, Duesberg and Schwartz were pointing to the possibility that "carcinogens may be primary inducers of abnormal cell proliferation rather than HPV or HSV." And here’s the key point: "Since proliferating cells [cancer cells dividing wildly] would be more susceptible to infection than resting cells, the viruses would just be indicators rather than causes of abnormal proliferation."
And yet little attention is paid to the other possible causes such as smoking and dietary factors such as low levels of Vitamin A and folate. And once a vaccine for cervical cancer has been mooted well the truth is history really Health researcher Christine Maggiore was also diagnosed with on a grade 3 Pap smear with cervical dysplasia, a result that insinuates cancer. Christine was well aware that diagnostics were notoriously unreliable , and the fact that Pap smear slides are read by lab technicians for a matter of seconds, So she had her test repeated The second Pap came back grade 2, suggesting the presence of Human Papilloma Virus or HPV, supposedly associated with cervical cancer. Christine refused the mainstream tests and treatments and after a few months went back and had another pap smear test and the result was normal She was told by the receptionist at her doctors that Most women get an abnormal Pap after having a baby. We just run the test again and it usually comes back normal. If not, the doctor gives them this little cream and that takes care of it." 6
Christine since discovered that the overwhelming majority of my female friend - have received abnormal Pap results like mine. In every case, their results reverted to normal with no therapy.
The medical world itself is split on how the results of the pap smear should be followed up. The Federal Government of Australia has set up a committee with the job of drawing up new guideline for screening. Professor Ian Hammond head of the committee reported to the World Today ABC radio program in March 2005
Basically, what we've suggested is these women are being referred far too soon for evaluation, because most of these virus infections will go away. And, therefore, it's been suggested that rather than referring women immediately for evaluation, there should be a delay of one year, to allow the virus to go away, and if the virus hasn't gone away, or the changes haven't gone away in one year, then those women will be referred for colposcopy. 7
It seems the medical profession is at last coming around to admit and to act on what we women have known for some time.
Reading from Ourbodies , Ourselves website: Environmental and occupational hazards. Few researchers or policymakers are looking at the social, economic, and industrial conditions that may make some women more vulnerable to cancer. Our exposure to toxins—which is affected by race, class, age, citizenship status, geography, and occupation—may well be a factor in the development of cervical abnormalities, and these issues deserve to be investigated fully. Corporate interests. Businesses are using direct-to-consumer advertising and expensive public relations firms to market tests, drugs and procedures. They are motivated by profits and the “bottom line,” not necessarily women’s health needs. Women in countries where participants in research studies are not fully informed may be particularly at risk from certain corporate practices related to testing new products. It is important to separate what is good for women from what is good for companies 8
And to sum up what is happening to women with this test and many others is In the words of Germaine Greer writing in “ The Whole Woman” “ women are driven through the health system like sheep through a dip’” 9

The health pages of the Australian Newspaper Weekend 11-12 June 2005
recommended that men start getting tested for Cholesterol levels from the age of 20
But should they? Mary Adams began to notice slurred speech, balance problems and severe fatigue after she had been taking a commonly prescribed statin drug for three years.
Her problems included loss of sleep due to restless and twitching limbs
And that wasn’t all. Very soon she began to suffer loss of balance and problems with her gait and her fine motor skills were not what they had been.
Once Mary took the step and ceased taking her regular cholesterol-lowering pill she recovered her previous health. Cholesterol lowering drugs are called Statins
Statin drugs include Lipitor (atorvastatin), Zocor (simvastatin), Mevacor (lovastatin) and Pravachol (pravastatin). An advertisement for Lipitor carried the following disclaimer 1
Lipitor has not been shown to prevent heart disease or heart attacks
Then what is this all about? Lipitor is a Statin drug that is designed to lower blood cholesterol levels.
We have been led to believe that high cholesterol levels can lead to heart attacks and yet here we have the manufacturers admitting that their drug has not been shown to prevent heart attacks. In 2002 in Australia
9.1 million prescriptions for statins were supplied between May and December for a total cost of $570 million. 2 And yet the manufacturers admit that Statins haven’t been shown to prevent heart attacks! Why then have we been told to take cholesterol-lowering drugs for the last few decades if Statins do not prevent heart disease or heart attacks? You are about to read some vital information that has been hidden from the general public or perhaps deliberately so. Sally Fallon and Mary Enig, researchers at the Weston A Price Foundation have written extensively on cholesterol.
Here is the first paragraph from their articleThe Cholesterol Hype
First let’s read Mary’s story.
Hypercholesterolemia is the health issue of the 21st century. It is actually an invented disease, a “problem” that emerged when health professionals learned how to measure cholesterol levels in the blood. High cholesterol exhibits no outward signs—unlike other conditions of the blood, such as diabetes or anemia, diseases that manifest telltale symptoms like thirst or weakness—Hypercholesterolemia requires the services of a physician to detect its presence. Many people who feel perfectly healthy suffer from high cholesterol—in fact, feeling good is actually a symptom of high cholesterol! Amazing stuff!
Why haven’t we been told the truth? What is the truth about heart disease and cholesterol?
I remember when my father had a heart attack back in the early 1970’s. He was in his early fifties and both he and mum were very shocked and strangely tried to keep this ‘secret’ to the immediate family. I don’t know why they felt impelled to do this other than that to admit illness was to admit weakness. The nineteen-seventies were a time when few mentioned the word ‘cancer’ out loud. This deadly disease was referred to in the daily vernacular as the Big C. One can only assume that the same fear which pertained to the discussion of cancer also applied to heart disease. Following his heart attack my father was told to eat a low cholesterol diet which meant drastic changes in the family diet including changing to margarine and eating less eggs. The change to the daily diet of westerners over the last few decades has been instrumental in the rising rates of heart disease according to the researchers at the Weston A Price Foundation.
Why was there this change to the western diet?
Dr. Ravnskov, who is the author of The Cholesterol Myths said that it all started with the landmark Framingham Heart Study, which began following healthy people in the early 1950s to see who had a heart attack and what distinguished them from the people who did not. High cholesterol was one risk factor--but it was only one of more than 240 others. "They [public health officials, cardiologists, etc.] have confused a statistical association with causation," he observed. 4
So for the last few decades we have been indoctrinated with the theory called the lipid hypothesis This theory has it that when we eat saturated fat and foods containing cholesterol then cholesterol is deposited in our arteries in the form of plaque or atheromas . These are then responsible for blockages in our coronary arteries which if become severe lead to a heart attack due to lack of oxygen to the heart.
But let’s be very clear ……the lipid hypothesis has never been proved.
Many dispute this theory, saying that heart disease in America has actually increased as consumption of saturated fat has decreased.
Some history on heart disease: Enig and Fallon say that heart disease was very rare in 1900, responsible for about 8% of all deaths in the US compared with today’s figures of approximately 45% The type of heart disease, which is prevalent today, is a myocardial infarction or a heart attack. This is where a blood clot obstructs the coronary arteries with the subsequent death of the heart muscle.
This form of heart disease was almost unheard of before 1910 Coronary Heart Disease is a complex of diseases of various causation. Heart disease includes damage to the heart muscle or valves due to a congenital defect or by inflammation and damage to muscle and valves emanating from viral, bacterial, fungal, rickettsial or parasitic diseases. Enig and Fallon tell us that these factors most likely caused most cases of heart disease in the early part of the century, when rates of infectious diseases were much higher and antibiotics were not in use.
By 1950 coronary heart disease was the leading cause of death in the US and now causes around 45% of deaths . 5
Why did heart disease increase so dramatically in the 20th century What was going on?
What causes this obstruction to blood flow and consequent death of the heart muscle….. the common heart attack
You have most likely heard of plaque. Well, this plaque builds up in the coronary arteries and over time the artery becomes so restricted that normal blood supply to the heart muscle ceases. A myocardial infarction can also be caused by a blood clot impeding the blood flow to the all important heart muscle.
So we have arrived at this point where we have ascertained the process of a heart attack but why has this become so common nowadays as to account for 50% of all deaths, 6Lets look at the commonly accepted risk factors.
Health authorities have warned us as to the risk factors for heart disease for decades now. These are tobacco smoking, high blood pressure, high blood cholesterol, overweight, insufficient physical activity, high alcohol use and type 2 diabetes 7
Enig and Fallon point out that it makes sense to stop smoking, reduce stress, maintain a healthy weight and keep up the daily exercise but it is on the matter of high blood cholesterol as a causation that needs to be discussed here.
Do high blood cholesterol levels lead to a heart attack? And what do we mean by high cholesterol levels
From The Australian Institute of Health and Welfare Website we learn…. Total blood cholesterol levels above 5.5 mmol/L are an indication of a greatly increased risk of developing coronary heart disease. Levels above 6.5 mmol/L are considered to indicate extremely high risk. ? The 1999-2000 Australian Diabetes, Obesity and Lifestyle Study found that over six million Australian adults (aged 25 years and over) had cholesterol levels higher than 5.5 mmol/L. ? Around 50% of both men and women (aged 25 years and over) had blood cholesterol levels above 5.5 mmol/L. Average blood cholesterol levels have declined only slightly for men and women during the period 1980 to 1999-2000. 8
Some authorities are even suggesting that Treating people down to a level of at least 3.5 and probably even get people's cholesterols down to a level of about 2.7, and they'll still gain some benefit for it 9But what does this all mean? Is high cholesterol a problem or not?
What is Cholesterol anyway?Cholesterol is a soft, waxy substance, which plays many important roles in the human body. Fallon and Enig point to the various functions of cholesterol ranging from its role as a repair substance to its vital function as a precursor to vitamin D itself a major determinant of proper mineral metabolism. It is also the precursor to the hormones such as glucocorticoids responsible for the regulation of blood sugar and mineralocorticoids, the hormones which keep our minerals balanced. 10
We must therefore see that this preponderance for lowering of cholesterol can interfere with the proper functioning of the human body including infertility and other reproductive problemsWhat happens when we take Statins?
Statins work to lower cholesterol levels by inhibiting the enzyme HMG-CoA reductase However as well as inhibiting the production of cholesterol, statin drugs inhibit the production of other substances vital to the normal function of our bodies. Every cell membrane contains cholesterol and when our levels of cholesterol are depleted then our cell membranes become leaky which means that our bodies respond to this situation by secreting corticoid hormones which transport cholesterol to where it is missing in the body.
To sum up the functions of cholesterol, this substance so maligned by the social milieu we now live within It is vital to the proper functioning of the cell membrane Cholesterol is the body’s repair substance Cholesterol is the precursor to Vitamin D which in turn is invaluable for mineral metabolism Cholesterol has a huge role in proper neurological functioning Cholesterol is the precursor to the hormones such as the glucocorticoids responsible for the regulation of blood sugar levels It is a precursor to the production of the sex hormones such as testosterone , estrogen and progesterone.
What then is the effect of lowering the blood cholesterol levels? In a 1999 study at St Thomas’s hospital in London it was found that 36% of patients on Lipitor’s highest dose reported side effects.
Such side effects include: Muscle pain, neuropathy, heart failure, dizziness, cognitive impairment, cancer, pancreatic rot and depression. And all for what? Yes statins lower cholesterol levels very well, but what is the need to do this. To repeat the disclaimer on the advertisement for Lipitor ….. Lipitor has not been shown to prevent heart disease or heart attacks 11
Enig and Fallon have researched the causes of heart disease And come up with what they term their ten commandments:
Ten Commandments for Avoiding CHD
1. Don't smoke. If you find it impossible to quit, at least try to cut back and smoke only additive-free cigarettes. Smokers should avoid polyunsaturated oils at all costs. Saturated fats and vitamins A and D are particularly protective of the lungs.
2. Exercise regularly but you needn't overdo. A brisk daily walk, 10 minutes on the trampoline, swimming, and sports are all appropriate.
3. Avoid overweight by eating nutrient-dense foods and keeping sweets to a minimum, but avoid crash dieting.
4. Don't work too hard. Counteract stress by doing something that you love to do everyday. During periods of unavoidable hardship or loss, increase consumption of foods rich in protective nutrients.
5. As much as possible, avoid exposure to fumes, chemicals, pollutants and pesticides.
6. Avoid all processed foods labeled "lowfat" or that contain polyunsaturated vegetable oils, hydrogenated fats, white flour, refined sugar and additives.
7. Consume high-quality animal products including a variety of seafood and milk, butter, cheese, eggs, meat, fats and organ meats from animals raised on green pasture.
8. Consume a variety of fresh vegetables and fruits, preferably organically grown.
9. Ensure sufficient mineral intake by using whole dairy products; bone broths; and whole grains, legumes and nuts that have been properly prepared to reduce phytic acid and other factors that block mineral absorption.
10. Supplement the diet with foods rich in protective factors including small amounts of cod liver oil (vitamins A and D); wheat germ oil (vitamin E); flax oil (omega-3 fatty acids); kelp (iodine); brewers yeast (B vitamins); desiccated liver (vitamin B12); rose hip or acerola powder (vitamin C); and coconut oil (antimicrobial fatty acids). 12
To sum up this chapter on Cholesterol testing.
We have discovered that the treatment of high cholesterol levels by the statins or cholesterol lowering drugs has not been shown to prevent heart attacks or heart disease and that rather than heart attacks being caused by saturated fats the real offenders of increased levels of heart disease are more likely to be the changes in our diets over the twentieth century. This means the huge increases in consumption of refined carbohydrates and vegetable oils, particularly hydrogenated vegetable oils and the loss of nutrient value of our food.
Rather than continually treating people for high cholesterol levels our attention should be on improving the diets of the populace, and replacing the current trend of low fat , sugar laden heavily processed foods with nutrient dense products more in tune with the diets of our ancestors.

My cousin Ronald died in the early 1990’s.
His cause of death was said to HIV/AIDS.
Presumably Ronald had been diagnosed as HIV positive with an HIV/AIDS test. But what does the HIV/AIDS test mean? Mainstream belief has it that an HIV/AIDS test means that you are positive to a virus called HIV and that you are then at risk of getting AIDS and possibly dying. Probably the most famous government propaganda broadcast in Australian history was the “Grim Reaper” TV ad of April 1987. The Angel of Death emerged from smoke and gloom as a solemn voice intoned: “At first, only gays and IV drug users were being killed by AIDS, but now we know every one of us could be devastated by it. That's why you should always use a condom, because you can never be sure just how many people you are really going to bed with.” 1 The above paragraph echoed the era of the beginning of the so- called HIV/AIDS epidemic.
Lets have a look at some history of The Grim Reaper Days. Back in 1980, an immunology researcher went searching for patients experiencing immune deficiency diseases. His first case was a young man with a persistant pneumonia called pneumocystis carinii. This particular pneumonia rarely affects people other than those with cancer whose immune systems have been adversely affected by chemotherapy or radiation.
His research soon yielded more cases of immune deficiencies. These patients were also afflicted with pneumocystis carinii pneumonia (PCP).
The five patients with these immune deficiency diseases were all male and homosexual. 2 Ransom and Day write that
Some of the patients they were studying were suffering from rare blood –vessel tumours and skin disfiguring lesions known as Kaposi’s Sarcoma.
They were all heavy users of recreational drugs including nitrite inhalants such as ‘poppers’, the volatile liquid used by homosexuals to facilitate anal intercourse and heighten orgasm 3 AIDS, rather than being an infectious disease that is spread amongst the people of the world by sexual intercourse is really a condition or a syndrome which is and was found amongst people who take a large amount of recreational drugs and other drugs such as large amounts of antibiotics.
These factors contribute to the immune system breakdown and manifest in the diseases of immune depression. More on this from
Dr. Root-Bernstein and other Aids researchers as reported on the Gary Null Website:
Root-Bernstein and fellow researchers say that the immune-suppressive factors most closely linked to Aids in studies of high-risk groups include the following:
. Illicit drugs such as heroin acts to suppress the immune system.
. The use of Antibiotics and therapeutic drugs, such as AZT and ddI, which are meant to treat Aids prophylactically. However they actually cause a deterioration of the immune system when taken for long periods of time.
. A promiscuous, gay lifestyle. Gay men at high risk for Aids commonly use not only abuse drugs, but also have a tremendously high incidence of sexually transmitted and other infectious diseases.
Also, they may use antibiotics prophylactically to prevent sexually transmitted diseases, and these antibiotics can prevent the immune system from functioning properly.
Then there is the added problem of semen getting into the bloodstream or the immune system – This can result in immune system depression also.
. Multiple infections. Multiple infections are quite common among high-risk groups making the work of the immune system harder.
. Blood transfusions and such products as Factor 8, taken by haemophiliacs, can cause immune suppression. 4
any researchers have been working away for many years questioning the hypothesis that HIV causes AIDS .
In1993 a group of Australian researchers led by Dr. Eleni Papadopoulos-Eleopulos questioned the accuracy of HIV-antibody tests
and also the very relationship between HIV and Aids.
The Perth Group has argued:
1. The existence of a unique, exogenously acquired retrovirus, HIV has not been proven.
2. HIV antibody tests fail to be proof of HIV infection. 5 But as we know millions of people around the world have been tested for HIV/AIDS and found positive with disastrous results. I remember my mother telling me that Ron had told her and my father that he had AIDS. Ron used to visit my parents regularly and on one of these occasions he spilled the beans. This was the late 1980’s.
The time is important because it explains why and how he was diagnosed with this death sentence. Ron’s partner had been diagnosed with HIV/AIDS.
Therefore as per popular dogma partners were and are also tested for HIV/AIDS.
Ron was then told he was HIV positive. But what is this test? The common understanding is that an HIV/Aids test determines if you are HIV positive and therefore at risk of becoming sick with AIDS.
BUT
When you have this test performed all it means is that a foreign protein or antigen is introduced into your sample of blood which is then observed for specific activity as the antigen or foreign protein comes into contact with the antibodies from your own immune system.
And as Steve ransom and Phillip Day point out in “ World Without Aids,”
There will be a response from one’s immune system when a foreign protein is introduced because our immune system has developed this way and must respond to invasion from germs by releasing antibodies.6 Ransom and Day add that science has known for many years that an antibody isn’t specific to one disease.
Christine Maggiore author of ‘What if everything you thought you knew about Aids was wrong” 7
Writes that
The tests are non-specific to HIV antibodies and that a simple illness like a cold can result in a positive HIV test.
In fact there are nearly 70 commonly occurring conditions such as yeast infections, colds, flus, arthritis, hepatitis, herpes, recent inoculations, drug use and pregnancy that are known to make the tests come up positive to this non-specific test. Neither you nor I have to be a drug user, a homosexual, a black South African, a prostitute or any other disadvantaged person to become diagnosed with HIV/AIDS. Anyone who tests positive to this non- specific blood test can be given a positive diagnosis.
A woman who is pregnant can test positive to this HIV/AIDS test and simply having a cold, the flu or TB or as we have already discussed almost 70 commonly occurring infections can turn this test into a positive result.
SO WHAT?
What does this diagnosis actually mean or what has it come to mean?
What results from having a positive test?
When you have an HIV/AIDS blood test and the result comes back as positive then to state the obvious the person’s life changes dramatically.
One of the ways your life changes is that treatment will be recommended for you.
Back in the early days of HIV/AIDS the drug that was used was AZT
Or Azidothymidine Researcher Christine Maggiore describes AZT
It was not created for the treatment of AIDS and is not an anti-viral drug. AZT is a chemical compound that was developed and abandoned over 30 years ago as a chemotherapy treatment for cancer. Many cancer patients did not survive chemotherapy due to its destructive effects on the immune system. 8 How could such a drug be prescribed for AIDS?
Dr Stefan Lanka describes AZT and other anti-retrovirals as drugs which kill the body’s cells and in particular the cells that divide more rapidly such as intestinal cells and bone marrow cells. 9
AZT causes symptoms of AIDS
These being diarrhoea, loss of weight and immune system disorder.
Ransom and Day write that the drug AZT has a skull and crossbones on its label
And point out that this is for a very good reason. 10 Treatments continue to be found and used as the so- called epidemic continues:
Leo Rebello wrote in the ‘Indian Journal for the Practising doctor’ 11
AIDS is the greatest myth of our times. In spite of voluminous evidence which shows that HIV is not AIDS, the myth is kept deliberately going so that many multi-trillion dollar industries keep prospering: 12
These industries are
. Latex industry: The rise of the Condoms. As Rebello has reported Boys and girls as young as 15, who were earlier afraid of having sex, are now experimenting with condoms. We now have a culture of condoms.
. Even though HIV testing does not prove infection with HIV the testing is big business. HIV tests cross-react with over 60 known medical conditions and illnesses.
. Then there are the medications, the anti-retrovirals, protease inhibitors, cocktails, HAART/multi-drug regimen, vitamin supplements.
Rebello reports that the industry is worth trillions of dollars.
. Lastly there are 'AIDS promoters' who are promoting the use of lethal chemical drugs, including to pregnant mothers especially in the third world.
My cousin Ronald died because of the HIV/AIDS myth.
He was a Gay man who lived in the days of the Grim Reaper.
As one young homosexual man after another became tested for HIV/AIDS, one after another became treated with toxic drugs. The drugs and the spectre of death caused the death of these young men.
And the myth of HIV/AIDS continues….. References: 1. http://www.warwickhughes.com/unaids/ 2.

My interest in the subject of vaccination started when I went to a lecture given by a local naturopath. Up until this night I did not know that there was anything wrong with the idea of vaccination. I had had the usual childhood shots and also some even worse one such as smallpox and BCG for TB and the really worrisome Hepatitis B vaccination. So what I learned from that one lecture has spurred me on to more revealing and distressing research.
As I researched over the years I was forced to wonder what I had done to my own health or lack of and that of my three children whom I had vaccinated.
I was brought up to believe the medical dogma and followed the rules implicitly.
There are some 200 more vaccines in the pipeline.
Examples are a Cholesterol Vaccine, a Diabetes Vaccine and an Asthma vaccine.
There’s even an Arthritis vaccine waiting in the wings.
Casting my eye down the long list of vaccines that are being cooked up in laboratories across the globe as I write, I can see there is a jab for just about every malady known to the 21st century human.
Far from being good for us vaccines are extremely detrimental.
"Ever since mass vaccination of infants began, reports of serious brain, cardiovascular, metabolic and other injuries started filling pages of medical journals." In fact, pertussis vaccine has been used to induce encephalomyelitis, which is characterized by brain swelling and hemorrhaging" Viera Scheibner, PhD.1
When we consider the assault on the immune system that is vaccination are we surprised by these and other health effects. Look at the increase in allergies amongst your friends and their children today.
How many suffer from hay fever, sinusitis and other allergic diseases.
These allergies occur because the immune system of the vaccinated is unable to rid the system of unwanted foreign particles.
Then there is the huge increase in the number of autoimmune diseases today. Examples are Lupus, fibromyalgia, psoriasis, chrohn’s disease just to name but a few.
Today in America, one child in 166 has been diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder.
9 million American children under 18 have been diagnosed with asthma
Nearly 3 million children are learning disabled.
4 million children between the ages of 3 and 17 years have been diagnosed with ADHD.
206,000 Americans under the age of 20 have type 1 diabetes.
1 in 400 to 500 American children and adolescents are now diabetic.
Today, arthritis affects one in three Americans, and about 300,000 American children have juvenile rheumatoid arthritis. Juvenile rheumatoid arthritis used to be so rare that statistics were not kept until its recent rise in children.2 Let’s take a step back and try to understand vaccination. What do you actually know about vaccines?
A web definition of the word tells us that:
A Vaccine is
A suspension of attenuated live or killed microorganisms (bacteria, viruses, or rickettsiae), or fractions thereof, administered to induce immunity and thereby prevent infectious disease.3
Let’s try to understand vaccination.
First let’s look at the production of a vaccine.
The making of a vaccine starts with a bacteria or a virus which may be dead or maybe attenuated or weakened. The production of a vaccine needs Cell cultures. These are used for the production of a vaccine and are obtained from animals.
In the case of the polio vaccine the cultures come from monkeys and in the case of rubella the cultures are obtained from aborted foetuses.4
Other substances that are added to vaccines include Antibiotics which are used to avoid contamination of the culture cells. Then there are the Adjuvents that are added to “make the immune response stronger.” These adjuvents are toxic substance such as aluminium hydroxide.
The addition to vaccines of these adjuvents is extremely problematic when one recalls that the number of people suffering from Alzheimer’s disease is on the rise and that the toxic substance aluminium is linked to this disease.
How much of the growth of this disease can be linked to vaccines we do not know but we can suspect that the link exists.
The presence of aluminium is not the only troublesome additive to vaccines.
The heavy metal Mercury has been used as a preservative in vaccines since the 1930’s.
It can be seen by the contents of a vaccine that all is not well with vaccination.
How did vaccination begin?
Vaccination as we know it began in the 18th century with the English doctor Edward Jenner. Jenner performed his first experimental vaccination when he inoculated the cow-pox virus into a patient in an attempt to build immunity against smallpox.
Edward Jenner also inoculated his 18 months old son with swine-pox, and with cow-pox. His son was never very well after that and in fact died of tuberculosis at the tender age of 21 years.5
From “ The Poisoned Needle” by Eleanor Mc Bean 1957 we learn that,
"On the 14th of May, 1796 . . . Jenner vaccinated James Phipps, a boy about eight years old, with the matter taken from the hand of a dairymaid infected with casual cow-pox.
After waiting six weeks Jenner inoculated this boy on both arms with smallpox matter, taken from the arm of a boy with smallpox. Several months later Phipps was again inoculated with the variolous matter (smallpox pus) but no effect was produced.”
The inoculation didn’t "take" so on the strength of this one experiment and its questionable interpretation, Jenner based his claim that one vaccination would "forever secure a person from smallpox."
No time had elapsed to prove whether it would last a lifetime or a month or at all; but without any proof or any scientific basis or evidence for its practice, the doctors and the government adopted it and made it compulsory, no doubt, seeing the gold mine in profits that it would yield.
James Phipps was declared immune to smallpox but he too, died of tuberculosis at the age of twenty years. 6
Dr. Walter James, of Philadelphia said:
"VACCINATION DOES NOT STAY THE SPREAD OF DISEASE OR EVEN MODIFY IT in those cases who get it after vaccination. IT DOES INTRODUCE INTO THE SYSTEM TUBERCULOSIS, CANCER, AND LEPROSY. 6
Did the introduction of smallpox vaccination stem the tide of deaths from smallpox?
Let’s examine this belief.
In 1853 England introduced compulsory vaccination.
Before this time the highest death rate from smallpox was 2000 for any two year period. However 20 years later there were 23,062 deaths in England and Wales with smallpox spreading over Europe in all the countries where vaccination was practiced on a large scale. During the same epidemic in Germany 124,948 people died of smallpox.
Of the 155 persons admitted to the Smallpox Hospital in the Parish of St. James, Piccadilly, 145 had been vaccinated.
What Factors really led to the decrease in smallpox and other infectious diseases?
The most noticeable decrease in smallpox and other infectious diseases began with the sanitation reforms just prior to 1800 and the improvement in nutrition.6 CHART SHOWING DECREASE IN SMALLPOX DEATHS AFTER DECLINE OF VACCINATION 6
What does it do to our immune system?
Much can be learned from the research of PHILIP F. INCAO, M.D.
First there are two compartments to the human immune system.
1. The humoral immune system (or Th2 function)
2. The cellular or cell-mediated immune system (or Th1 function)
The humoral immune system produces antibodies in the bloodstream as a response to the presence of foreign antigens in the body.
The cellular immune system gets rid of foreign antigens through the work of cells in the thymus, tonsils, adenoids, spleen and the lymph system.
This action of ridding the body of foreign antigens is known as an acute inflammatory response of the body.
This is manifested by the classical signs such as fever, pain, malaise and discharge of mucus, pus, skin rash or diarrhea.
When we give a vaccination we are greatly stimulating the antibody production (Th2) but there is very little stimulating of the digesting and discharging function of the cellular immune system (Th1).
If a vaccine stimulated the whole immune system we would get all the symptoms of disease such as the fever, malaise, pain and discharge. However the vaccine only stimulates the humoral immune system thus avoiding the inflammatory response.
Vaccines don’t boost the immune system but do stimulate the antibody "tasting and remembering" function of the antibody-mediated branch of the immune system and inhibit the body’s ability to fight the disease.
Phillip Incao sums it up like this:
Vaccinations are usually effective in preventing an individual from manifesting a particular illness, but they do not improve the overall strength or health of the individual nor of the immune system. Instead, vaccinations modify the reactivity of the immune system, decreasing acute discharging inflammatory reactions and increasing the tendency to chronic allergic and auto-immune reactions.
The widespread vaccination programs are causing massive side effects and so many of us are suffering needlessly. These are allergic or auto-immune inflammatory reactions which are caused by the shift of the immune system’s reactivity from the cellular immune system to the humoral immune system.8
Lets look now at the hepatitis B vaccine.
New born babies receive hepatitis B vaccine shortly after they are born and while in hospital.
I remember when this was implemented. I was stunned.
In fact I remember reading in a nurse’s newsletter that hospitals were to give this vaccination as a conditionality of their hospital funding by the government.
Can you believe this?
Sadly this is true.
The first question we need to ask is why would you want to vaccinate newborn babies against hepatitis B?
Hepatitis B is not easily caught by a newborn baby.
It is mainly transmitted by sexual contact or through blood transfusion.
Hepatitis B is a disease mainly suffered by promiscuous people and intravenous drug users.
Babies do not belong to these categories of people at risk!
Babies are being used as guinea pigs.
Many adverse effects of hepatits b vaccination include numerous autoimmune diseases such as multiple sclerosis (M.S.), Guillain Barre Syndrome, and autoimmune arthritis. 9
Some countries have reversed their practice of vaccinating infants
15,000 French citizens filed a lawsuit against the French government for understating the risks and overstating the benefits associated with the Hepatitis B vaccine. Hundreds of people were reported to have suffered from autoimmune and neurological disorders, including multiple sclerosis, following Hepatitis B vaccination. As a result, in October 1998, the French Minister of Health ended the mandatory Hepatitis B vaccination program for all school children.10Do you really want to take an Hiv/Aids test?
Should you vaccinate?
What is a Vaccine?
Period Vaccinated Smallpox Deaths 1872-1881 96.5 3708.3 1888-1891 82.1 993 1892-1901 67.9 437 1902-1911 67.6 395 1912-1921 42.3 12 1922-1931 43.1 25 1932-1941 39.9 1.4 How does a vaccine work?
Why does vaccination continue?
One very strong reason is that we are coerced by our governments to vaccinate ourselves and our children.
Parents are told that they have to vaccinate or they won’t be able to go to school They are told they can’t get various childhood government payments if they don’t vaccinate their children
However you can register as conscientious objectors and receive these benefits. Parents are being coerced by doctors because doctors have a financial reward.
Doctors are paid by the govt to vaccinate. They receive payments from the government each time they vaccinate a child.
Vaccination continues also because we are afraid of illness. We are continually being bombarded by media about the current “flu epidemics,” the latest bird flu pandemic. Is it any wonder that we are afraid.
The issue of vaccination is largely ignored by the media Why is this so?
The government does not approve of our media discussing the issue of vaccination for it fears that parents will not vaccinate if they hear the other side of the vaccination issue. The pharmaceutical companies are the largest buyers of advertising space. The practice of vaccination results in record profits for big pharma as it vaccinates first and then sells the medicines to drug the autism sufferers.
So why would anyone vaccinate their children. There is simply no good reason to do it! Be informed!
