This past summer, the Center for Disease Control (CDC) was urging the American public to get their children the flu shot this year. Read on for important information that has not been put in the media.
Mercury is the most toxic substance known to the human brain. According to the EPA, a person would have to weigh over 500 pounds to process the amount of mercury in vaccines. This includes flu vaccines.
The government and physician groups vowed to remove mercury from vaccines over 7 years ago. This has yet to happen.
There is no physical evidence that mercury and vaccines harm children, but we have dramatically increased the number of vaccines in each generation. Currently 1 in 6 children have learning disorders. With learning disorders on the rise, we should be cautious as to what we expose children and their developing nervous systems to.
Vaccinations are a personal choice and you should know that you can ask your doctor for mercury-free vaccinations. They are available although they are not advertised.
Influenza is a virus that can change how it looks to your immune system. Each year doctors from the US go to China and try to predict which strain will come to the U.S. that winter. A vaccine is made from the most probable strains. If a different strain arrives here, then the vaccine won’t help much.
Viruses can be fought off effectively with two types of medicines; antiviral drugs like Tamiflu (which is made from a Chinese herb), or anti-viral herbs. Anti-viral drugs are only useful in the first 24 hours or so. Chinese herbs also work much easier in the first day, but have a broader effect that can be used to shorten a viral or bacterial infection at any stage. Pathogens have shown having a much harder time adapting to herbs as they readily do with drugs. This is easy to understand when you consider that a drug is commonly a large dose of one molecule, whereas herbs are hugely complicated substances. The combination of these typically mild substances has powerful synergistic effects when used together in the whole herb. We then combine synergistic herbs to create a powerful balanced effect with extremely few side effects. Drug companies are always looking for powerful single substances within medicinal herbs, but rarely find magic bullets that work alone without side effects. Properly used Chinese herbs don’t make patients feel high or dizzy or cause dry mouth. These side effects were historically considered the mark of a poor herbalist.
Heavy metals, such as lead and mercury, can build up in the body and poison us. High levels of aluminum have been found in the brains of Alzheimer’s victims. Most of us are unaware of the effects of these poisons until it is too late. When patients clear these metals from their body, the increased health is noticeable. People often tell us “I didn’t realize how run down I was. I feel great now and I don’t ever want to go back to the health I had!”
Heavy metals get stored in the same receptors that are looking for iodine. We all have exposure to lead, mercury, bromine and fluorine. We store these in our iodine deficient receptors.
The National Health and Nutrition Survey undertaken by the CDC showed iodine levels falling over 50% in the last 30 years. In 1940 the average American got 800 micrograms of iodine in their diet. In 1995 we averaged 135 micrograms; an 83% decline! Eating seafood and seaweed can keep your dietary levels in the healthy range. Supplementing with iodine can offer additional help in maintaining these healthy levels of iodine.
Supplementing with iodine can replenish your iodine stores while flushing out these toxins. People don’t experience the negative effects of some type of detoxification when using iodine. In fact, many people notice increased energy, better sleep, and mental clarity. A large number of diseases can be fought off with iodine as well. Allergies, food allergies, fibrocystic breast, heart arrhythmias, heart disease, Alzheimers, Parkinsons, along with many cancers all greatly improve or clear up all together with iodine. Although this therapy has been in use since 1829, it was a favorite treatment of many U.S. family physicians primarily from 1900 to the 1960’s due to iodine levels declining in U.S. soils as well as in the American diet.
Would you like to become progressively healthier each year? How would it look to say ‘I am healthier now then I was 5 years ago!’
Thank you so much for all of your help. After being diagnosed with Sarcoidosis I came to you for help. I also had osteopenia (bone loss), incredibly, you were able to help me increase my bone density, even while I was on steroids. While being on steroids, you helped me deal with the side effects as well as gave me encouragement. The acupuncture was relaxing as well as helpful, and the herbs and supplements aided in my overall increasing good health. I also went on a cleansing diet and was able to clean my body and learn about good nutrition. I feel that not only have you helped me with my overall health but, have been a friend and encourager. Through these long months I have gained lung function to 91%, my doctor says is normal, and also feel great. I feel God has truly sent me an angel!
Thank You, Nicole Oncale
