Guest guest Posted September 15, 2008 Report Share Posted September 15, 2008 Gay, Doctors like you are a rare breed. I'm glad you're with us on this list! Since you are on a mission to research as much as you can, I'd like to suggest Sheri's classes, if you haven't already looked into them. I am taking " Vaccine Dangers Part 1 " and I have to say the information is very thorough, well put together and priceless! I can run circles around most doctors when it comes to vaccine knowledge now! I have had casual conversations on the topic of vaccines with a couple of different doctors lately and I've been amazed at their lack of knowledge... one didn't even know exactly what diseases the specific vaccines were supposed to be protecting against, and also didn't know much about the diseases themselves! His nurse handles the vaccinations in his clinic! I was appalled.

Guest guest Posted September 15, 2008 Report Share Posted September 15, 2008 No, not generally.......it is usually a " benign " type of infection, sore throat, small wound on skin, ear infection, sinus infection, even urinary tract infection that is the source. If for whatever reason the body doesn't mount the appropriate immune response or there is a particular weakness to the blood brain barrier or a particularly virulent bug (bacteria or virus) the infection can spread into the blood stream and then across into the brain. I believe that one exception to this would be Neisseria meningoccal meningitis (please excuse the spelling of that one!!!) which is so virulent that it attacks the brain right away. (That's the one they scare everyone at college about.) However it is quite rare. Most often meningitis is caused by one of the other things that I mentioned above. Hope that explains it a little better G In a message dated 9/14/2008 9:03:12 P.M.

Guest guest Posted September 15, 2008 Report Share Posted September 15, 2008 I think that definitely eradicating one type of bacteria opens the door for others to take it's place. " Nature abhors a vacuum " . That is also my fear that with more and more kids being vaccinated against " everything " , we are opening a Pandora's box of opportunistic infections, and also helping to create new strains that are more virulent and vaccine resistant. In an article I found about the 23a strain of pneumococcus, the ending sentence was about altering the vaccine to cover this strain as well. The only thing I can say about that is " duh, what do you think will happen next when you do that? " G In a message dated 9/14/2008 9:56:10 P.M.

Guest guest Posted September 15, 2008 Report Share Posted September 15, 2008 Well......I guess I'm too much of an allopath to agree with you there......although in some cases antibiotics are definitely not your friend. I still think that when used appropriately (that is not for every sneeze, sniffle, cough and temp above 99F) antibiotics can be helpful. G In a message dated 9/14/2008 11:12:48 P.M.

The way I see that it could have happened is that she came in with an ear infection and the initial antibiotics made her more ill, then perhaps the even stronger antibiotics made her even more so. I don't think antibiotics are as safe as people see them and perhaps, just like with vaccines, there are many unreported and unknown severe reactions to them. > > > >Continued to get worse over a period of days despite > > switching to stronger antibiotics.

Guest guest Posted September 15, 2008 Report Share Posted September 15, 2008 I guess the whole immunity question is up in the air with me, although in reviewing my cellular immunology, I can see how limited exposure to just certain " pieces " of the organism would likely not induce complete immunity. I think that in certain cases, it's ok, especially if the disease in question is absolutely horrible in most cases (like smallpox and polio). On the other hand to think we can just eliminate all organisms that cause illness is foolish. There is a reason our immune system developed as it has and to alter it to such a degree as we are doing now is dangerous to the population as a whole. I have always said " germs strengthen the immune system " !!! And I truly believe that - for example I was on 3 immunosuppressant drugs over the past winter with a pretty puny white cell count, and the only thing that happened was that I caught Strep throat twice. And I saw plenty of influenza and the usual conglomeration of illnesses that occur in the winter. I attribute my luck there to the fact that I have been exposed to most of this junk for my entire life. My only strategy was to wash my hands good before and after each patient, and occasionally down a bag of echinacea/zinc losenges. Even worse is the fact that the vaccines are not being developed on entirely benevolent principles, and the scientific method is not being applied. There are a lot of assumptions that are being made about safety and efficacy and long term problems. You know what happens when you " assume " something! What I would really like to see, and I don't know if this has ever been done....is to examine the antibody complexes of someone who had, say, wild measles with someone who had the vaccine. But like the whole breast milk/formula controversy, there are likely things that occur naturally that cannot possibly be mimicked in the laboratory. I'm not opposed to changing my opinion about the immunity issue. I am still looking for a direct comparison so I can make sense of it. G In a message dated 9/15/2008 8:47:55 A.M.

But also we didn't have HIB & Prevnar and Hep B vax at birth, etc. It may be that the HIB is part of the set up.

Guest guest Posted September 15, 2008 Report Share Posted September 15, 2008 Exactly......ask anyone in our age group and I'm sure very few ever knew or heard of someone having meningitis. The case I spoke about was the second one I have ever seen in my life. The first one being in 1993 in Birmingham Alabama. It doesn't happen very often. I think it's something like 44/100,000 with infants comprising a much smaller number than that, and keeping in mind this includes people who are sick, have AIDS, have cancer, etc, etc. So the rate of occurrence for normal healthy folks is very low.

Guest guest Posted September 15, 2008 Report Share Posted September 15, 2008 These are scary pics! My littlest guy had a reaction to Zithromax where his whole body broke out in a solid, bright red. The ped told me to continue the antis and just give him Benadryl, that it was more important to treat the pneumonia. I said no way was I ever giving him Zithromax again. One of the scariest nights of my life as a parent. After seeing these pics, I'm so glad I refused. I cannot imagine what the ped was thinking.

Guest guest Posted September 15, 2008 Report Share Posted September 15, 2008 I know, it was nuts. He had some puffiness around his eyelids, and since he tends towards hives, I gave him homeopathic Apis (I use that instead of Benadryl). It got a little better but with the weekend looming, I wanted to get the peds opinion on whether it might be poison ivy or what, since he had recently gotten over pneumonia. She thought the puffiness was from mycoplasma and that his pneumonia was back. That's why she didn't see the Zithromax as the cause of the hives. She did reluctantly agree to switch it to Erythromycin the next day.

Guest guest Posted September 15, 2008 Report Share Posted September 15, 2008 HI Gayl, welcome to the list. It's good to see a doctor on the right side of the fence!! LOL! Can I ask you a question please? Do you believe in/accept the *concept* of vaccination, or is it the safety aspect that leads you to question them? If all vaccines had no dangerous/questionable substances in them, would you say that they were a good thing to have? Do you feel they actually *do* what they are marketed to do - i.e., prevent illness? Sue x -- Re: Re: What training do docs get on vax? I think that definitely eradicating one type of bacteria opens the door for others to take it's place. " Nature abhors a vacuum " . That is also my fear that with more and more kids being vaccinated against " everything " , we are opening a Pandora's box of opportunistic infections, and also helping to create new strains that are more virulent and vaccine resistant. In an article I found about the 23a strain of pneumococcus, the ending sentence was about altering the vaccine to cover this strain as well. The only thing I can say about that is " duh, what do you think will happen next when you do that? " G Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted September 15, 2008 Report Share Posted September 15, 2008 Thanks, I didn't know that. I rarely go for antibiotics, just for strep or pneumonia after a few scary experiences with that. I usually keep the kids home at the first sign of anything and slam them with EmergenC and Larix, and avoid the usual food suspects since eating junk is generally the culprit. Then homeopathy and if desperate, antibiotics. Thankfully my youngest is nine so we're past that scary baby/toddler time.

Guest guest Posted September 15, 2008 Report Share Posted September 15, 2008 Hi and wellcome. I know the Allopaths are all about treatments and do not understand cause much less toxemia. The body building disease by cellular waste, and other poisons being retained in the system due to faulty elimination. Just wanted to point out that skin, ear, sinus, and urinary tract infections are not the cause of a dis-ease but a symptom themselves. Glad to hear that you are waking up to some of the absurdities of the Allopathic profession.

Guest guest Posted September 15, 2008 Report Share Posted September 15, 2008 It's just that the more I research, the more I do not believe in viruses. Seems every sickness today is blamed on some kind of virus and eventually there is a vaccine. I know bacteria exist, but not too sure on the extent of the harm. I'm just wondering, has it actually been proven that bacteria or a virus is the absolute sole cause of meningitis or any other sickness? Plus, I know a virus has never been isolated. Anyways, I was thinking about it this morning and I remembered something interesting. I used to suffer from constant ear infections as a child (yes, I was vaccinated,) and always I took antibiotics and they cleared up and then came back. When I got a little older they cleared up on their own for the most part, but haven't had one since my teenage years. My point is, that whatever doctor I used to see would tell me that the ear infection was caused by water in the ear and that was it, but eventually, sometime in the late 80s, the doctors would say no, water has nothing to do with it, ear infections are caused by viruses. So I think somewhere in that time viruses got popularized and they became a blame for most things. Now I'm pretty sure my ear infections were caused by the fact that I would drink nothing but soda, regular or diet, and we ate a ton of margaine (doctor suggested it, of course,) and my diet was just poor over all. > > Well......I guess I'm too much of an allopath to agree with you > there......although in some cases antibiotics are definitely not your friend.

Guest guest Posted September 15, 2008 Report Share Posted September 15, 2008 I hear you, but you may want to look at it from a different perspective. That of suppression as I wrote in the post a bit ago. And also suppression of the immune system. I never see anymore, in my self, family or patients, any need for an antibiotic with homeopathy. Of course in life-threatening situation to buy time--that's another story.
