SHOCKING: Studies Show that Vaccinated Individuals Spread Disease

Should the Recently Vaccinated be Quarantined to Prevent Outbreaks?

from Kimberly Hartke at Weston A. Price Foundation.

WASHINGTON, D.C. –February 2, 2015– [ GlobeNewsWire ] — Health officials are blaming unvaccinated children for the recent measles outbreak that started at Disneyland.

Scientific evidence demonstrates that individuals vaccinated with live virus vaccines such as MMR (measles, mumps, and rubella), rotavirus, chicken pox, shingles, and influenza can shed the virus for many weeks or months afterward and infect the vaccinated and unvaccinated alike. 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10

Furthermore, vaccine recipients can carry diseases in the back of their throats and infect others while displaying no symptoms of a disease. 11,12,13

“Numerous scientific studies indicate that children who receive a live virus vaccination can shed the disease and infect others for weeks or even months afterward. Thus, parents who vaccinate their children can indeed put others at risk,” explains Leslie Manookian, documentary filmmaker and activist. Manookian’s award-winning documentary, The Greater Good, aims to open a dialog about vaccine safety.

Both unvaccinated and vaccinated individuals are at risk from exposure to those recently vaccinated. Vaccine failure is widespread; vaccine-induced immunity is not permanent and recent outbreaks of diseases such as whooping cough, mumps and measles have occurred in fully vaccinated populations.14,15 Flu vaccine recipients become more susceptible to future infection after repeated vaccination.16, 17

“Health officials should require a two-week quarantine of all children and adults who receive vaccinations,” says Sally Fallon Morell, president of the Weston A. Price Foundation. “This is the minimum amount of time required to prevent transmission of infectious diseases to the rest of the population, including individuals who have been previously vaccinated.”

“Vaccine failure and failure to acknowledge that live virus vaccines can spread disease have resulted in an increase in outbreaks of infectious disease in both vaccinated and unvaccinated individuals,” says Manookian, “CDC should instruct physicians who administer vaccinations to inform their patients about the risks posed to others by those who’ve been recently vaccinated.”

According to the Weston A. Price Foundation, the best protection against infectious disease is a healthy immune system, supported by adequate vitamin A and vitamin C. Well-nourished children easily recover from infectious disease and rarely suffer complications.

The number of measles deaths declined from 7575 in 1920 (10,000 per year in many years in the 1910s) to an average of 432 each year from 1958-1962.18 The vaccine was introduced in 1963. Between 2005 and 2014, there have been no deaths from measles in the U.S. and 108 deaths from the MMR vaccine.19

Corrections made Feb 3, 2015:  1) We have struck out the second sentence in the first paragraph, which read, “However, with no blood tests proving the outbreak is from wild measles, the most likely source of the outbreak is a recently vaccinated individual, according to published science.” Since we released the press release, it has come to our attention that 9 cases of measles related to the Disneyland outbreak have in fact been confirmed via blood test as wild genotype B3 measles. We do not know the status of the others. According to the CDC, there are about 100 measles cases this year, 67 of which are related to Disneyland. While the CDC says most of the 67 Disneyland cases were unvaccinated or vaccination status is unknown, they assume that if this outbreak is similar to last year, about 20% were vaccinated. It is clear from the experience at Disneyland and the scientific literature that both vaccinated and unvaccinated individuals can contract and spread disease and the demonization of the unvaccinated is unfair, inappropriate, and borders on fear-mongering.

EXCESS TV WATCHING COULD RAISE RISK OF ALZHEIMER'S

Study: Excess TV Watching Could Raise Risk Of Alzheimer’s

This should not come as a surprise.

WASHINGTON (CBSDC) — Too much time in front of the television may contribute to brain damage and a higher risk of developing Alzheimer’s disease, a new study suggests.

Northern California Institute for Research and Education experts found that four hours of television or more per day can significantly lower cognitive performance in middle age. The study explored the link between sedentary lifestyle, cognitive performance and the risk of developing dementia, as reported by The Washington Post.

The study tracked individuals for 25 years beginning in young adulthood and found that low cognitive test scores were also common among people who reported low levels of physical activity.

Researchers say the findings shed light on important consequences for children and young adults who spend a lot of time in front of screens. However, the research also suggests that people have a choice in changing their lifestyle in order to lower the risk of cognitive decline later in life.

“This is something you can do something about,” Kristine Yaffe, a professor of psychiatry, neurology and epidemiology at the University of California in San Francisco, told the Alzheimer’s Association International Conference in Washington, D.C.

The study examined 3,257 adults between the ages of 18 and 30 years old and investigated the effect television watching and physical activity level had on cognitive performance. The participants answered surveys on their habits three times over the course of 25 years. For the study, researchers defined low physical activity as burning less than 300 calories in 50-minute session three times a week. High television watching was defined as more than four hours a day.

Researchers found that 11 percent were considered heavy TV watchers, 17 percent were considered to have low physical activity, and 3 percent reported both.

Yaffe says those who watched a lot of television were 1.5 percent more likely to perform worse on the cognitive tests when compared to those who watched less. If the participants were relatively inactive and watched a lot of television, they were two times more likely to perform poorly on the tests in midlife, compared to those who were physically active and didn’t watch a lot of television.

“What’s happening at one’s midlife is setting the stage for what’s happening over the next 20 or 30 years,” Yaffe explains, as reported by The Washington Post.

The results highlight the possibility that sedentary habits in early life may have negative impact on dementia risk later in life.

Magnesium: Which Kind Do I Take?

There are a few things to consider.  

One is bioavailability.  Each type of magnesium when it is joined with other elements, like orotate or L-theorate, has only a certain percentage of magnesium available for absorption.  If you're going to supplement with magnesium, for the money you'll want a tablet/capsule that has the highest bio-availability of magnesium.  Magnesium by itself has lots of benefits.  You keep hearing about it being involved in 300 chemical reactions in your body.  That's true.  Though I myself would like to see someone delineate each reaction.  It is generally beneficial for your nerves, muscles, and heart.  So any kind of magnesium that you take will positively affect these components of your body.  But maybe you weren't aware of the fact that certain magnesiums treat certain organ systems and bodily functions. So choosing the right magnesium depends on what organ or organ system you're trying to treat.   

So, two, consider which organ you want to treat.

For the brain, you'll want to use Magnesium L-Theorate.  According to Examine.com, any form of magnesium:

can be used to attenuate a magnesium deficiency, except magnesium L-threonate, since it contains less elemental magnesium per dose. Gastrointestinal side-effects, like diarrhea and bloating, are more common when magnesium oxide or magnesium chloride are supplemented, due to the lower absorption rates of these two forms. In general, magnesium citrate is a good choice for supplementation. Magnesium L-threonate can be used for cognitive enhancement. 

The comments in that last link to magnesium L-threonate are particularly interesting.  One commenter, Arne, explains that:

EVERY Magnesium compound does cross the BBB and ALL those non-neurotoxic Mg-compounds like Mg-Chloride, -Malate, -Glycinate, -Orotate, -Taurate, -Citrate etc., even the bad Mg-Oxide will improve not just the brain function in humans dramatically! There is no need to promote such expensive stuff because there is a Big-Pharma-Patent on it! Arne, "MS" victim for over 20 years and on my way to recovery from SPMS since using Magnesium Chloride oral & transdermal for the last 3 years (~$70 for 20kg, which is enough for one year and to get rid off all the other pharma sh... inclusive the med. Establishment). 

With Magnesium Oxide and Magnesium Chloride, diarrhea and bloating are more common.

Magnesium Diglycinate is a good laxative.

Magnesium Gluconate, which is often compared against Magnesium Oxide, is a good laxative.  A Chinese study is often cited on how it treats pregnancy-induced hypertension.  It's a powerful laxative.

Magnesium Orotate for the heart.

Dr. Edward F. Group says that magnesium orotate is the most effective form of magnesium supplement, created through the use of the mineral salts of orotic acid. Both plants and animals use orotates to create DNA and RNA. Extensive scientific research by Dr. Hans A. Nieper, M.D. shows orotates can penetrate cell membranes, enabling the effective delivery of the magnesium ion to the innermost layers of the cellular mitochondria and nucleus. Magnesium orotate contains many properties that can help protect you and your health, while offering your cells the most readily absorbable form of magnesium on the market today.  

Okay, so orotate provides great penetration into the cells.  But why doesn't he mention the benefits of orotate on the heart?

Magnesium glycinate for sweet dreams.

Magnesium malate for pain relief.  It chelates metals from your body. Magnesium malate binds to metals and renders them ineffective.  It promotes the production of saliva in your mouth which helps to control oral bacteria.  "Because of its antiseptic properties, magnesium malate is used in toothpaste and mouthwash," according to Michael Hutchins at LiveStrong.  Or, you could just eat an apple, the food source for magnesium malate.

Magnesium malate fights fatigue.

Magnesium malate is a fantastic choice for people suffering from fatigue, since malic acid--a natural fruit acid present in most cells in the body--is a vital component of enzymes that play a key role in ATP synthesis and energy production. Since the ionic bonds of magnesium and malic acid are easily broken, magnesium malate is also highly soluble.

 Magnesium citrate for constipation.

Magnesium citrate--Magnesium citrate is the most popular magnesium supplement, probably because it is inexpensive and easily absorbed. Since citric acid is a mild laxative, magnesium citrate functions as a constipation aid as well as a magnesium source. It is a great choice for individuals with rectal or colon problems but is unsuitable for those with loose bowel movements.

Magnesium Taurate for the heart

Magnesium taurate is the best choice of magnesium supplement for people with cardiovascular issues, since it is known to prevent arrhythmias and guard the heart from damage caused by heart attacks. Magnesium taurate is easily absorbed (magnesium and taurine stabilize cell membranes together), and it contains no laxative properties.

Magnesium glycinate is good for dreams.

Magnesium glycinate (magnesium bound with glycine, a non-essential amino acid) is one of the most bioavailable and absorbable forms of magnesium, and also the least likely to induce diarrhea. It is the safest option for correcting a long-term deficiency.

Magnesium chloride comes heavily recommended.  It is good for detoxing and to boost kidney function and metabolism.

Though magnesium chloride only contains around 12 percent elemental magnesium, it has an impressive absorption rate and is the best form of magnesium to take for detoxing the cells and tissues. Moreover, chloride (not to be confused with chlorine, the toxic gas) aids kidney function and can boost a sluggish metabolism.

It's that last part that I am interested in.

Magnesium carbonate is a good antacid.

Magnesium carbonate is another popular, bioavailable form of magnesium that actually turns into magnesium chloride when it mixes with the hydrochloric acid in our stomachs. It is a good choice for people suffering from indigestion and acid reflux, since it contains antacid properties.  

Magnesium Hydroxide is better known as Milk of Magnesia.

"GcMAF can eradicate chronic inflammation and viral infections."

I had never heard of GcMAF before. Ever.  Until last night.  I thought I would share what I found.  I am posting this for information purposes only.  This is not an offer or solicitation for medical advice whatsoever.  What I've learned is that GcMAF is not a food per se, but a protein used to target cancers and, get this, autism. That's right. At least according to the authors of the site.  One caveat: GcMAF is not approved by the Food and Drug Administration for disease, so any claims should be taken with that in mind.  But here is what their site says:

YOUR BODY'S OWN INTERNAL MEDICINE 

Your GcMAF empowers your body to cure itself. In a healthy person your own GcMAF has 11 actions discovered so far, including two on cells, three excellent effects on the brain, and 6 on cancer. Amongst these it acts as a “director” of your immune system. But viruses and malignant cells like cancer send out an enzyme called Nagalase that prevents production of your GcMAF: that stops its 11 beneficial effects, and neutralises your immune system. So diseases become chronic, and cancer cells grow unchecked.

Minutes after a receiving a dose, 10 of the body’s actions restart. In three weeks of two GcMAF 0.25ml doses a week, your immune system is rebuilt to above normal strength. You need two doses a week for typically 24 weeks for many diseases and early cancers, up to seven one ml doses a week and a year for stage 4 cancers. Your body then takes the disease down without side effects, and successfully in 80% of cases -depending upon how well you follow the protocol under “Treatment Protocol” on this website.

WHAT IS GcMAF?

It is a human protein. One week’s GcMAF looks like a small raindrop. If properly produced it is perfectly sterile, and a most ethical course for doctors.

GcMAF is therefore a replacement therapy for those who can’t make their own. Taking GcMAF replaces the missing part of the immune system, and also acts as the body’s own internal medicine.

GcMAF is extracted and isolated; its a 24 step process, and at the end it must have tests to prove its sterility and activity. (If it does not come with published tests, its probably not GcMAF.) One GcMAF has been tested in universities, laboratories and clinics, where, as a result of the testing, consistent activity and sterility have always been found, and been the subject of 40 scientific research papers.

WHAT DOES GcMAF DO?
The GcMAF Conference 2013 showed GcMAF is a far more powerful molecule than thought, both in terms of the science, and doctors’ results. In stage 4 cancer, some doctors who use the full protocol, listed on “Treatment Strategies,” are saving every patient (if they have not had chemotherapy.) Success can be achieved with all tumour cancers including breast, lung, prostate, pancreatic and melanoma.

GcMAF can eradicate chronic inflammation and viral infections. It is better than antibiotics in many areas, and 25% successful with Autism, 50% or more with Chronic Herpes, Chronic Acne, Chronic cirrhosis of the liver, Chronic kidney disease, Chronic depression, Colitis, Crohn’s, Fibromyalgia, Hepatitis, Herpes, LMBBS, ME/CFS, Osteoporosis, Periodontal disease, Psoriasis and various types of Immune dysfunction including allergies. Research shows GcMAF can halt deterioration in Parkinsons, multiple sclerosis (MS), dementia and ALS, and in its role of immune system regulator, can reverse diseases that attack the immune system like Lupus and Arthritis. And is effective with wound healing. Its successful with tumour cancers, and some others.

In addition to rebuilding a depressed immune system, GcMAF:

Inhibits angiogenesis–stops blood supply to tumours.
Activates macrophages–phagocytosis and destruction of cancer cells
Apoptosis–suicide of cancer cells.
Reverts the cancer cell phenotype to normal (Turns cancer cells into healthy cells).
Reduces the metastatic potential of human cancer cells in culture.

Increases energy production at the mitochondrial level – ME/CFS
Improves human neuronal metabolic activity through cAMP signaling– autism, ME/CFS, MS, ALS.
Counters toxic effects including cadmium–ME/CFS.
It abolishes neuropathic pain due to neuro-oxidative stress (stress due to the anti-cancer drug oxaliplatin) in the lab. (neurodegenerative diseases and autism that have oxidative stress as a pathogenetic mechanism).
It increases neuronal connectivity by promoting differentiation and the formation of dendrites and neuritis (autism and ME/CFS, where there is a lack of connectivity between neurons).

See the 31 research papers published, particularly Brescia, and the 60 published by others listed under “The science”.

80% of terminal stage four tumor cancers cases can be saved (40% if they’ve had chemo), but usually when they are closely monitored, which is why residential Treatment Centers are being run in Switzerland. If they have three months to live and have not had chemo, almost no one needs to be lost.

Here is what another site explains about GcMAFs:

The answer may lie in an understanding of nagalese, a protein made by cancer cells and viruses. Nagalese is a primary cause of immunodeficiency given its ability to block the body’s production of GcMAF, otherwise known as “Vitamin D binding microphage activating factor,” a naturally-produced immune regulating compound that aids in fighting what are traditionally considered terminal diseases. Some researchers suggest that nagalese is one of many toxic components found in the immunizations commonly administered to children, including the Measles-Mumps-Rubella vaccine. 

Well, that's interesting.  Based on that statement it looks like Vitamin D is an anti-cancer component, a claim that we've all read about for years now.  This may be one of the reasons why cod liver oil with its beneficial Vitamin D and A help with managing cancer.  

My understanding is that GcMAFs are activated macrophanges.  Anyway, it's worth checking out.  Let me know what you think.  Leave comments. Thank you.

COCONUT OIL ENHANCES KIDNEY FUNCTION

". . . coconut oil enhances kidney function . . . because it supplies myristic acid, the 14-carbon saturated fatty acid."

Saturated Fats and the Kidneys

Posted on September 30, 2000 by Mary Enig, PhD • 1 Comment

One of the body’s most important organs is the kidney. Properly functioning kidneys are essential for maintaining proper blood volume and composition; for filtering and excreting or saving various chemical metabolites; and for helping to maintain proper blood pressure. Hypertension (high blood pressure) is known to result from improperly functioning kidneys. Research carried out during the last few years indicates that both saturated fat and cholesterol play important roles in maintaining kidney function, as do the omega-3 fatty acids.

The kidneys need stable fats both for their cushioning and as their energy source. We know that the kidney fat normally has a higher concentration of the important saturated fatty acids than are found in any of the other fat depots. These saturated fatty acids are myristic acid (the 14-carbon saturate), palmitic acid (the 16-carbon saturate), and stearic acid (the 18-carbon saturate). When we consume various polyunsaturated fatty acids in large amounts, they are incorporated into kidney tissues, usually at the expense of oleic acid, because the normal high level of saturated fatty acids in the kidney fat does not change.1

A species of rat known to be prone to strokes and to spontaneously develop hypertension (high blood pressure) has been used to evaluate effects of different lipids such as plant sterols or cholesterol, and also fatty acids such as omega-3 or omega-6 fatty acids in the finely tuned functions of the kidney. These animals are very sensitive to dietary cholesterol manipulations and a deficiency of cholesterol in their membranes makes their membranes weak and fragile. When plant sterols found in vegetable oils are substituted for cholesterol in their diets, these animals have a shortened life span.2Also, these animals are reported to need a proper omega-6 to omega-3 ratio in the kidney phospholipids. It was further reported that feeding oils high in omega-6 fatty acids without omega-3 fatty acids resulted in renal injury, and that feeding oils rich in the omega-3 fatty acids such as fish oil, perilla oil, and flaxseed oil prolonged the survival time of this animal.3

The omega-3 fatty acids are recognized as being important, and the conversion of the flax oil-type omega-3 fatty acid (alpha-linolenic acid) to the fish oil-type omega-3 fatty acids (EPA and DHA) is enhanced when the diet contains saturated fat such as coconut oil. This conversion is hindered when there is extra omega-6 oils in the diet.4 Injury to the kidney from immune dysfunction (IgA nephropathy) responds to omega-3 fats (both flax oil-type omega-3 and fish oil-type omega-3).5 As noted, adding the saturated fats, especially coconut oil, improves the body’s use of omega-3 fatty acids.

Another reason that coconut oil enhances kidney function is because it supplies myristic acid, the 14-carbon saturated fatty acid.6 Myristic acid is involved in the signalling from cell membrane receptors through G proteins and their attachment to membranes. These signalling proteins require a lipid such as myristic acid to be added to one end of the protein, a process called myristolation.7

Thus, the fats that we recommend for general good health, namely various saturated animal fats and tropical oils, along with a supplement of flax oil, are also specifically helpful for kidney function. Products containing high omega-6 oils and trans fatty acids should be avoided.
