2017-11-04 What’s happening? Some highlights.

EU on brink of historic decision on pervasive glyphosate weedkiller  (Monsanto, roundup),  The Guardian.

Oct 24, very good article.  Update, Oct 25, the EU temporarily dodged the bullet (again).

AVAAZ and other organizations have successfully campaigned, mobilizing millions of people to stop the poisoning.  We have been active on this file through the years.

There will be more actions.  Pitch in, if you can. An historic decision indeed.  Revolutionary!

I was a statistic that helped establish “epidemic” status for polio in 1952-53.

But was it polio?   Among other considerations, I had a mercury dental filling a couple of months prior to the diagnosis.  And vaccinations prior to that.

 

I wrote the overview  Heavy metals in vaccinations, Mercury in dental amalgams years ago.  With no thought that it might also be my own story.  By 2010 I had started collecting information because I was very concerned about poisoning by mercury.

 

I am trying to piece together objective data related to my specific case;  it might be possible to figure out whether it was polio, or something else.   And become better informed in the process.

 

Vaccinations began at age 1, in the early fifties when I got them.   I get side-lined by questions:

Why do the Americans administer the Hepatitis B vaccine to newborns?   How long does it take for a newborn’s liver to mature?   What are the consequences of a damaged liver?

I think everyone should look at that posting.  It’s pretty short.

Then, there’s    How Much Money Do American Pediatricians Really Make From Vaccines?

(Understand what’s happening in the U.S. and you’ll see the direction Canada will take, if we aren’t engaged and sharing information.)

I clicked on “Videos”.  The bottom, right-hand one is:  Haley vs Offit Debate.

In it are the graphs of the incidence of various infectious diseases like polio, on a timeline.   I stopped the video, to be able to read the source of the research – – Dr. Suzanne Humphries.  I’ll look for an on-line copy of the graphs.   In the meantime,  here’s from Amazon about her book:

Not too long ago, lethal infections were feared in the Western world. Since that time, many countries have undergone a transformation from disease cesspools to much safer, healthier habitats. Starting in the mid-1800s, there was a steady drop in deaths from all infectious diseases, decreasing to relatively minor levels by the early 1900s. The history of that transformation involves famine, poverty, filth, lost cures, eugenicist doctrine, individual freedoms versus state might, protests and arrests over vaccine refusal, and much more. Today, we are told that medical interventions increased our lifespan and single-handedly prevented masses of deaths. But is this really true? Dissolving Illusions details facts and figures from long-overlooked medical journals, books, newspapers, and other sources. Using myth-shattering graphs, this book shows that vaccines, antibiotics, and other medical interventions are not responsible for the increase in lifespan and the decline in mortality from infectious diseases.

I’ll get the book, for my own project to figure out whether I was legitimate data for the establishment of an epidemic.   It’s possible that the combination of a dental filling that contained heavy metals, and vaccinations with God-knows-what in them, resulted in symptoms that were identified as polio but which weren’t.

Note also, from the video: you can say that an ingredient (thimerasol, for example) is not used in a vaccination as a “preservative”.  That does not mean that it is not used in the vaccine for some other purpose.

You’ll see the link:  I looked at the “product insert” for just one of the flu vaccines listed.   A Canadian manufacturer.   I had to laugh!   They state emphatically that there is NO thimerasol in their vaccine.  And its is stated more than once, that their flu shot is ONLY for people age 65 and up!   (people already on their way to the grave!  Ha ha!)   If you get that flu shot, and if you’re under age 65,  and if you have adverse effects,  you would have no claim.
