The MMR Vaccine. Our GP's, the NHS and Big Pharma know it's dangerous!

How would you describe a vaccine that caused Seizures, Febrile Convulsions, Diabetes, Pancreatitis, Purpura, Arthritis, Myalgia, Encephalitis,  Guillian-Barre Syndrome, Meningitis, Retinitis, and DEATH? More to the point, would you take it? Or would you give it to your child?

These are just a few of the diseases that are apparently caused by the MMR Vaccine.

Your doctor, the NHS, and the Big Pharma companies tell us that the vaccine is safe. They urge us to ensure that our children are vaccinated. Many people within the Conventional Medical Establishment support compulsory vaccination.

And our Media, headed by the public broadcaster, the BBC, appear to support them in this, unreservedly, and without any serious questioning. Indeed, BBC News seems to go out of their way to urge us all to ensure that we, and our children, are fully vaccinated.

Jeremy Paxman, on Newsnight (9th April 2013) appeared incredulous that mandatory vaccination was not imposed in Britain. He interviewed just two people, both in support of vaccination, one in support of compulsorily vaccination. This is typical of BBC's lack of impartiality. Whilst Paxman clearly expressed his personal views, he (and the BBC) clearly have no knowledge that there are real and genuine concerns about the safety of vaccines.

But, I hear you say, how do we know that the MMR vaccine causes these diseases? Where is the evidence? Our doctors, the NHS, and the Department of Health would surely not approve a vaccine, or a drug, that can cause such dangers.

Well, according to this website, they DO know, and the information comes on the MMR package insert from the manufacturer. Merck lists the following adverse reactions on their package insert.

• Panniculitis 
• atypical measles 
• fever 
• syncope 
• headache 
• dizziness 
• malaise 
• irritability 
• vasculitis 
• pancreatitis 
• diarrhea 
• vomiting 
• parotitis 
• nausea 
• diabetes mellitus 
• thrombocytopenia 
• purpura 
• regional lymphadenopathy 
• leukocytosis 
• Anaphylaxis and anaphylactoid reactions 
• angioneurotic edema 
• bronchial spasms 
• arthritis 
• anthralgia 
• myalgia 
• encephalitis 
• encephalopathy 
• subacute sclerosing panencephalitis 
• Guillian Barre Syndrome 
• febrile convulsions 
• seizures 
• ataxia 
• polyneuritis 
• polyneuropathy 
• ocular palsies 
• paresthesia 
• aseptic meningitis 
• Pneumonitis 
• sore throat 
• cough 
• rhinitis 
• Stevens-Johnson syndrome 
• erythema multiforme 
• urticaria 
• rash 
• pruritis 
• nerve deafness 
• otitis media 
• retinitis 
• optic neuritis 
• papillitis 
• retrobulbar neuritis 
• conjunctivitis 
• Orchitis 
• DEATH 

The issue here is not just that this vaccine causes these diseases, it is that parents and patients are not being told about it, either by the Conventional Medical Establishment, or by the British Media.

So, we need to know from the Department of Health, the NHS, and our GP's, why we are not being told about this.

And we need to know from the British Media, including the BBC, why they are not fulfilling their duty to inform the public.

Why Homeopathy? Whooping Cough

Whooping Cough used to be a major killer, particularly during the 19th Century. However, as living standards improved during the 20th Century, it ceased to be a killer disease, and it is important to note that the decline in mortality rates resulted from improved diet and living conditions and not from conventional vaccine treatment, which were not available at the time.

Subsequently, statistics show clearly that vaccines, and in particular the introduction of the DPT vaccine in the 1970’s, had no significant affect on the decline of the disease. This has not, however, stopped ConMed from claiming the credit!

However, the disease appears to be returning, and it should be noted that it is returning despite the fact that most children have now been vaccinated against it. 

Indeed, recent epidemics of Whooping Cough have been with those who have been vaccinated, and not those who have remained unvaccinated. 

This raises serious questions about the effectiveness of the DPT vaccine, and Conventional Medical treatment generally. So the choose of medical therapy, for both the prevention and treatment of Whooping Cough, is important, as alongside the doubts about the effectiveness, safety concerns has also been raised concerning conventional medical treatment, and in particular the DPT vaccine, 

Homeopathy, in contrast, provides a safe and effective alternative treatment.

Conventional Medical Treatment

Prevention.

NHS Direct says that whooping cough is now prevented by the 5-in-1 vaccine, (DTaP/IPV/Hib), which also protects against diphtheria, tetanus, polio and Hib (haemophilus influenzae type b). This vaccine is given routinely to children when they are 2, 3 or 4 four months old, with a pre-school booster vaccine (DTap/IPV) when they are between 3 and 5 years old).

The idea of the vaccine is once given the body produces antibodies against the Bordetella pertussis bacterium, which protect against infection.

NHS Direct admits to the following side-effects to the 5-in-1 vaccine:

• Very common reactions. More than one in 10 babies who have the vaccine experience the following reactions: pain, redness and swelling at the injection site; irritability and increased crying; being off-colour or having a fever
• Common reactions. Between one in 10 and one in 100 babies given the vaccine experience the following: loss of appetite, diarrhoea, vomiting.
• Rare reactions. Between one in 1,000 and one in 10,000 babies given the vaccine experience the following: febrile convulsions (fits), floppiness.
• Very rare reactions. Less than one baby in 10,000 given the vaccine experience the following: high fever (more than 40.5°C), unusual high-pitched or inconsolable crying.

There are, however, many more serious ‘side-effects’ that the Conventional Medical Establishment does not admit to at this time, and these should also be considered by anyone considering this vaccine.

The 5-in-1 vaccine is the successor to the DPT vaccine, the main difference being that the new vaccine is supposed to protect against a further two diseases (see above). There have been on-going concerns about the DPT vaccination, and now the 5-in-1 vaccine, for several decades now. 

Most of the concerns are routinely denied by the Conventional Medical Establishment. Some of these concerns can be found by clicking on this link.

Treatment.

Whooping cough is treated by conventionally medicine with Antibiotic drugs. NHS Direct says that this will prevent the infection spreading further, and stop the patient being infectious in 5 days, rather than about 3 weeks.

However, NHS Direct says that when babies under 12 months contract whooping cough they will need treatment in hospital, in isolation, to prevent the infection spreading, and treatment would be antibiotics given intravenously of into a vein through a drip.

If the child is ‘severely affected’ corticosteroid medication might be used. NHS Direct says that “Corticosteroid medication contains steroids. These are powerful hormones that will reduce inflammation (swelling) in your child's airways, making it easier for them to breathe. Like antibiotics, corticosteroids may be given intravenously”.

The Homeopathic Materia Medica (HMM)

Prevention

Pertussin is a homeopathic nosode, or remedy, made from the actual disease material and tissue from Whooping Cough (Pertussis). Many Homeopaths use this as a preventative treatment for Whooping Cough, particularly for parents who are worried about their children contracting the disease.

Many Homeopaths, however, recommend that parents allow the children,if they are strong and healthy, to contract Whooping Cough naturally. This enables the body to build a natural immunity to the disease. Once ill, the condition can be treated, if necessary, with homeopathy.

Treatment

The following remedy description have been taken from the Hpathy website, see 

http://hpathy.com/cause-symptoms-treatment/help-for-whooping-cough-when-prevention-fails/

Drosera rotundifolia.

This remedy is indicated when the cough is worse immediately upon lying down to bed at night and/or when the cough flares up after midnight. There is tickling and dryness in the throat, which causes spasmodic coughing. Attempts to bring up phlegm end in retching and vomiting. The violence of the cough may produce nosebleeds. Frequent coughing attacks prevent the person from catching his/her breath.

Belladonna.

This remedy is usually indicated in the early stages of the illness or when fever is present, especially if the fever begins around 3PM. There is pressure in the head and the face is hot and red while the hands and feet are cool. The head feels like it will burst from coughing. A dry, tickling, spasmodic cough emanates from the larynx.

Coccus cacti.

The defining characteristic that indicates the need for this remedy is the production of large amounts of clear, thick, ropey mucus. Paroxysms of choking cough result in vomiting of long strings of mucus that hang from the mouth and nose. Drinking cold water may bring temporary relief from tickling in the larynx and the coughing spells. The spells may become more aggravated early in the morning and/or around 11-11:30 at night.

Ipecacuanha.

The person who needs Ipecac often experiences persistent nausea that may not be relieved by the vomiting that follows after the cough. Due to the nausea, the person is often lacking in thirst and will not want to drink fluids. The child will stiffen and become rigid with the cough.

Bryonia alba.

This is a very commonly indicated cough remedy in general. Its main indication is the presence of symptoms that become aggravated from motion. The person is compelled to breathe quietly and remain as motionless as possible so as not to aggravate the cough. In addition, the cough is painful due to the motion of the ribcage. Similarly, a headache may become more painful when the person rises to walk around.

Antimonium tartaricum.

The clue that leads to the prescription of this medicine is the sound of the loud, rattling, mucus-filled chest while coughing. In spite of this, the person struggles unsuccessfully to bring the mucus up from the chest, thus producing little expectoration. One gets the impression that the person will drown in his/her own fluids. The person is usually cross, irritable, and weak from efforts to raise the phlegm.

Cuprum metallicum.

This medicine is indicated when we see cramps, muscular spasms, clenched fists, and/or convulsions associated with the whooping cough. Violent paroxysms of severe cough lead to suffocation with the lips and face turning blue. As with Coccus cacti, cold drinks of water may bring temporary relief from the coughing attacks. Coughing spasms may wake the person around 3AM.

Kali carbonicum.

The worst phase of the cough comes between 2 and 4AM. The person must sit up and lean forward during the attack and prefers to sleep propped-up with pillows. Think of this medicine when the cough leads to left sided pneumonia.

However, there are many other remedies, including Arnica and Carbo Veg, known to be effective in the treatment of Whooping Cough. A registered and qualified Homeopath should be consulted in serious cases of the disease.

Randomised Controlled Tests (RCTs) on Homeopathy

To my knowledge, there have been no RCTs conducted on either the prevention or treatment of Whooping Cough with Homeopathy.

However, Homeopaths have been treating Whooping Cough safely and effectively since the early 19th Century, and through many serious epidemics throughout the world.

This article was first published at the "Why Homeopathy?" website.

How to get Homeopathy on the NHS

The British National Health Service (NHS) was started in 1948. Its architect was Anauran Bevan, who was a user and supporter of Homeopathy. Since then, Homeopathy has always been available through the NHS, particularly via the Homeopathic Hospitals in places like London, Bristol, Liverpool and Glasgow. Some GP's practice homeopathy, alongside conventional medicine, within the NHS. A list of these practitioners can be found here. And in some areas, the local Primary Care Trust (PCT) or Clinical Commissioning Groups (CCGs) are willing to refer patients to local homeopaths when they request homeopathic treatment.

The NHS is a health service for everyone, free at the point of need. We all pay for it through taxes and our National Insurance payments. So have you ever wondered why it is difficult to get homeopathic treatment on the NHS. Indeed, have you ever wondered why, if you go to your GP, or your local hospital, you will only be given access to conventional medicine?

During the last 60+ years the NHS has gradually been taken over and dominated by the conventional medical establishment. The NHS is now, virtually, a monopoly. What this means is that most doctors, most GP surgeries, most PCTs or CCGs, and the Department of Health are not really interested in any patient request to have homeopathic, rather than conventional treatment.

So the current situation is this. Whilst patients are still entitled to Homeopathy, the NHS is routinely refusing such requests in most parts of the country, and the situation is getting worse, as more PCTs and CCGs are making it part of their policy to refuse to allow patients access to Homeopathy.

This is despite the current government's policy of 'Patient Choice', or to use a phrase taken from the White Paper - "No decision about me without me". All the main political parties support the right to Patient Choice.

So always bear in mind that Homeopathy is not an entitlement, and that a local refusal to provide Homeopathy is contrary to your rights. In what other area of life can you think of where you have actually paid for something, but are not allowed to have what you want?

So what can the growing number of people who positively want Homeopathy for their treatment (and do not want to risk the dangers of ConMed) do about this situation?

Well, we need to fight for our rights. We need to insist that Health Freedom is a fundamental human right. We need to remind the NHS that we are entitled to treatment, and to demand that they give us access to the treatment of our choice.

Yet this is not an easy or straightforward task. It is possible only if we, as patients, are prepared to face up to a powerful ConMed bureaucracy, committed as it is to maintaining the monopoly of conventional, drug-based medicine within the NHS. Funding for homeopathic treatment is usually denied. 

The result is that no one usually bothers to ask for it! This means the NHS has no idea what the demand for homeopathy is, and how it is growing. For these reasons, the NHS Trust Association has recently encouraged all its registered therapists (such as myself) to ask all their patients to apply for NHS funding. This is what they are saying:

          "If enough of your patients go to their NHS GP’s or specialists and ask to be referred to you, this is bound to raise the level of awareness amongst GP’s that your patients are gaining benefit from your treatment. Whether doctors present believe in this treatment, or not, if their patients are gaining benefit, surely a doctor has to pay attention. The Association therefore suggests that members should encourage their private patients………"

So it is important for you to remember that you do have a right, enshrined in the NHS Act, to homeopathic treatment. It is your health, and if homeopathy is your treatment of choice, you should ask for it.

What to do if you want Homeopathy through the NHS

1. Your GP
The first thing to do is to see your GP. It is up to your GP to make a diagnosis of your illness, and at your request, refer you for homeopathic treatment. Most GP’s will still refuse to support homeopathy (they are ConMed doctors, and most know little about Homeopathy), although recent surveys show that an increasing number support homeopathy on the NHS. But argue your case, strongly, and be firm. 

You can use these arguments, where appropriate.

• Say that you feel homoeopathic treatment is safer, especially for children, older people, or for pregnant women.

• Say that you feel homeopathic treatment is more effective, and give examples from your own experience of homeopathy’s ability to improve health, and cure illness.

• State any objections or worries you have about taking conventional treatment/drugs, especially if you have been told you have to take them on a long-term basis.

• If you have been ill for some time, and conventional treatment has not helped your condition significantly, you should ask to try homeopathy as an alternative.

• The cost of homeopathic treatment is probably considerably less expensive than any ConMed treatment offered to you.

• If you have been told that you require non-urgent or elective surgery, you can ask that you try homeopathy in order to avoid the need for this.

• If you have illness symptoms, but there is no conventional diagnosis, or if tests suggest that you are not ill, and this happens regularly, you can say that you wish to be treated by homeopathy instead.

2. A letter in support – the cost of homeopathy
Find a local Homeopath, and ask them to write a letter to your GP in support of your application for Homeopathic treatment. You can take this to your doctor, and (s)he can forward it to the local PCT, alongside the referral. Ideally, the letter will outline the cost of homeopathic treatment for the condition that has been diagnosed.

3. Following a GP Refusal
If your GP says that homeopathy is not appropriate, this usually means that s)he does not believe in it. He/she should be prepared to discuss the decision with you. If you cannot change his/her mind, you then have several options.

1. You can request a second opinion, usually from another doctor at the practice.
2. You can complain formally (the practise manager should be able to advise you about the surgery’s complaints procedure) or look at this website for information.
3. You can register with another GP, or even with another surgery.
4. You can speak to the Patient and Liaison Co-ordinator at the Primary Care Trust.

Otherwise your GP will write to the PCT, asking for funding.

At this point, you might like to join this Facebook group, devoted to Patient Choice. It will put you in touch with a group of like-minded people, all of them interested in getting Homeopathy on the NHS. Click here to access, and join in the work of the group.

3. The local PCT or CCG
When your GP makes a referral for NHS funding, it is considered by your local PCT or CCG. Although they do not have a good record for funding homeopathy, you can ask the Patient Advice and Liaison Co-ordinator to support your application. You are usually told that ‘there is no proof that homeopathy works’, and/or that there are already too many demands on their resources. 

Such arguments need to be tested. The NHS funds many expensive treatments that have limited value, and they are often dangerous and/or ineffective. Homeopathic treatment is invariably cheaper and more effective. But most important, the way you wish to be treated should be paramount.

At this stage, it might be useful to contact your local MP, and discuss the situation with them. Almost invariably he/she will have been elected on a manifesto that supports 'Patient Choice'. Remind the MP that regardless of his own personal views on heath and its treatment, you are the patient, you have made your choice, the NHS is refusing you your preferred treatment, and ask him to support you.

4. Outcome at PCT or CCG Level

• If funding is agreed by the PCT or CCG, you will benefit from homeopathy - without charge. The NHS will benefit both by providing you with the therapy of your choice, and by saving considerable money doing so. And Homeopathy will have the opportunity to demonstrate the phenomenal power of homeopathy in successfully treating illness and disease.

• If funding is not agreed, at least you will have indicated your support for homeopathy, and helped to demonstrate that public demand for homeopathy is increasing.

• You might want to write to the Department of Health at this time, informing them that you are being denied your right to 'Patient Choice'.

A further complaint at this stage will also be useful, and certainly ensure that the PCT or CCG is made fully aware of the issue you are raising. How this is done is explained on this website.

5. The Parliamentary and Health Service Ombudsman
If you wish, it is possible to take the matter one stage further, and make a formal complaint to the Parliamentary and Health Service Ombudsman. Again, information about how this is done can be found at this website.

This can be an exhausting process, especially for someone who is not well. I know, because I have done it! It took me a year to do. And eventually I got what I wanted, was treated at the Royal London Homeopathic Hospital, very successfully.

But the three alternatives are worse. Accept conventional medical treatment, with all its dangers, and its lack of long-term effectiveness. Or accept that you are ill, that you will continue to be ill, and accept that the NHS will not treat you. Or pay for your medical treatment a second time, by consulting a Homeopathy privately.

The argument is moving in our direction, towards Health Freedom. All political parties now, and an increasing number of MP’s, support policies that favour ‘Patient Choice’ in health provision. We now need to insure that ‘Patient Choice’ includes homeopathy – as it is a safe, effective, and cost-effective treatment.

Good luck.

The NHS, Whistle-Blowing, and Gagging Clauses

The NHS is going through yet another crisis. This time it concerns the care patients are receiving, especially when they are in hospital. The crisis at the North Staffordshire Hospital NHS Trust has now broadened into an issue of whether NHS staff are allowed to 'blow the whistle' on poor care practices, or whether the NHS bureaucracy is preventing or subverting this.

The concern about the situation is to be welcomed. Clearly, the crisis is focused on the 'care' provided by hospitals, and not about the 'treatment' given to hospital patients. But any death, regardless of its cause is a matter of concern, and should be investigated.

Yet, surely, it should be a matter of concern for the NHS bureaucracy too. So why do NHS staff find it so difficult to blow the whistle? Why do they fear doing so? Why does the NHS seek to prevent whistle-blowers from speaking up? Why do they offer concerned staff large financial settlements, allied to gagging clauses?

Why, in other words, should the NHS, and indeed the Conventional Medical Establishment, want to keep secret from us what is going on within our hospitals, and our health services?

What the critics of the NHS need to understand is that there is good reason for the secrecy. The NHS is a bureaucracy cloaked in secrecy. The drug-based treatment that dominates the NHS is shrouded in secrecy. The survival of the entire system of medicine, on which the NHS is now totally dependent, depends on secrecy.

We are not supposed to know what is going on! We are not allowed to know that conventional drug-based medicine is failing. We are not supposed to know that our hospitals are killing thousands of patients every year. We are not allowed to know that the pharmaceutical drugs we are given make us unhealthy, cause disease, and can actually kill us.

So why is the focus of this crisis on the care given to patients, and not their treatment? The issue here is what the relatives can see, and understand. Their patient-relative is unhappy. Their patient-relative is not given drink. Their patient-relative is not being fed. Their patient-relative is not being toileted. Their patient-relative is not responding to treatment. Their patient-relative is declining, and dying.

We can all see this, and understand that bad care is a failure. But the adverse impact of medical treatment is not so well understood. Our confidence in the medical profession, and the medicine they give us, remains solid. We don't believe, and we have never been told, that doctors might give us drugs that actually make patients sicker rather than better! Such an understanding is outside the experience and comprehension of most people. We have all been brought up to believe in the wonders of modern, 'scientific' medicine.

So, we complain about what we know. Our relative is not receiving proper care. And as a result it is the nursing staff, too busy with paperwork we are told, who bear the brunt of our disapproval.

Yet, spare a thought for those whose task it is to care for patients whilst in hospital, especially in units where residents are not getting better, where, day-by-day, they witness the decline into chronic illness, and the death of patients.

* If a medical system is failing, if patients do not receive effective treatment, they will decline and die - especially weak, frail and older patients.

* If a medical system is providing drugs that worsens rather than improve the health of patients, staff who witness this decline must be faced with a harrowing and depressing daily experience.

* If hospitals are constantly full, with people on long waiting-lists for admission, when 'turn-over and 'hot-bedding' is the order of the day, everyday, there is no respite from the daily pressures, and little reward in seeing patients getting noticeably better.

*  If hospitals are such dangerous places, not least because of antibiotic-caused 'superbugs', and the dangers of passing on dangerous infections between patients (which ConMed cannot treat), where getting patients out of hospital becomes an important objective, what confidence can this give to staff that they are doing something worthwhile, or positive.

In these, and no doubt in many other ways, the outcome of conventional medical treatment, so often negative, is intimately connected with the morale of NHS staff, and therefore the quality of care they are able to provide to patients.

This is not offered as an 'excuse' for bad caring practices within hospitals, but it is, at least in part, an important reason for it.

So what about the NHS bureaucracy? Why have they been so secretive about 'care' issues? Why have they made whistle-blowing so difficult within hospitals?  Why have they been prepared to pay-off key staff who are critical with lucrative deals that gags them from saying what they ought to be telling us?

This has probably arisen because the first duty of the Conventional Medical Establishment has been to defend the failures of a drug-based medical system on which they have become dependent. For decades, the NHS has been giving patients drugs that have failed, either by being ineffective, by causing disease, or by killing patients. And as each successive drug has been withdrawn or banned, the NHS Establishment has had to respond, and they have done so either by ignoring the issue, downplaying it, or when necessary by denying and seeking to suppress the information from getting to the general public.

So, Over the years, secrecy has become second-nature to the conventional medical establishment, so it has become part of its modus-operandi - part and parcel buffering a failing medical system. Secrecy within the NHS has become a strategy for survival - and it continues to be so.

The NHS will rarely volunteer information about its failings. It will not accept or admit the failures of Big Pharma drugs - at least, not until such time as it is no longer possible to deny them. There are too many powerful vested interests, too much status and privilege at stake, to be open with patients about the nature of their treatment.

The Establishment, and the vested interests on which it is based, have become more important than patients!

Whooping Cough

Whooping Cough, or Pertussis, used to be a killer disease in the 19th Century. However, with better living standards, improved diet, better housing, the disease declined throughout the 20th century. Much of the credit for this decline has been wrongly claimed and attributed to conventional vaccine treatment, but the decline in Whooping Cough was happening long before the vaccine, and the decline continued, unchanged and unaffected, after the vaccine was introduced.

Now, however, in the 21st century there are signs that it is now re-emerging.

Indeed, the re-emergence of Pertussis has taken place mainly in countries where conventional vaccine treatment (usually the DPT vaccine) has been most evident, notably in the USA and Britain. Yet all the conventional medical establishment seems able or willing to do, when faced by these new outbreaks, is to urge people to have the vaccination - even pregnant women it would appear! But before pregnant women, or indeed anyone else, does so we should examine the evidence first - particularly the evidence that our doctors, ConMed generally, and even, sadly, our mainstream media, will almost certainly not tell us about.

First, it is now apparent that those being affected by the new outbreaks of Whooping Cough are those who have already been vaccinated. Those of us who have not been vaccinated appear not to be affected. See these links for more information on this.

* Worst whooping cough outbreak in over 50 years happening among the fully vaccinated
* Whooping Cough Outbreaks in Vaxed Children More and More Frequent
* Whooping Cough May Spread Through Vaccinated Populations

Indeed, it has been shown that vaccinated children account for some 90% of those getting Whooping Cough in these recent epidemics. In other words, we are all safer from the disease if we don't accept conventional vaccine treatment!

* Recent Evidence Shows Vaccinated Kids Account For 90 Percent of Cases of Whooping Cough

What this clearly shows is that the vaccine is not working.

It has probably never worked, as I have already noted that the 'decline' in Whooping Cough cases was happening for nearly one hundred years before the vaccine was introduced.

* Major Whooping Cough Epidemics – Vaccine Not Working. Child Health Safety
* Outbreaks Proof That Whooping Cough Vaccines Don’t Work. International Medical Council on Vaccination
* Whooping Cough Vaccine Doesn’t Work. GSK Says “We Never Bothered to Check” Child Health Safety

Yet it would appear that another story is beginning to emerge too. The Whooping Cough strain giving rise to the new epidemics, after years of suppression through the DPT vaccine (and its successor, the so-called 5-in-1 vaccine, has changed. And it is now more virulent, more dangerous than every it was before.

* Deadly new pertussis strain linked with whooping cough vaccine
* Whooping Cough Epidemic Caused by Virulent New Pertussis Strain—And It’s the Result of Vaccine

So Whooping Cough is now killing people again. Even BBC News appears willing to admit this, although as usual they fail to inform their viewers, listeners and readers the full story about the disease, and the problems created by conventional medical vaccnine treatment.

* BBC News - Whooping cough: Three more babies die in outbreak
* Five-year-old girl dies after being given just twice the normal dose of over-the-counter cough medicine

So the failure of conventional vaccines is not just that they do not work. They actually make the problem worse. 

Just as antibiotic drugs in recent years have created numerous deadly 'superbugs' they can no longer deal with, vaccines are getting progressively less effective, and leaving us with more deadly strains of the disease.

In other words, the war being waged on disease is being lost, conventional, drug-based medicine is failing.

• Whooping cough strain 'breaking through' vaccines - ABC News (Australia) 
• Whooping Cough Spreads Through Pertussis Vaccine Itself
• Massive outbreak of whooping cough proves vaccine is ineffective

So desperate is the conventional medical establishment becoming, there has even been an admission that vaccine treatment has failed!

* http://www.naturalnews.com/035466_whooping_cough_vaccines_outbreaks.html failure admitted: Whooping cough outbreaks higher among children already vaccinated

So what should we do if we contract Whooping Cough?

First, we should not get embroiled in the panic of conventional medicine. Whooping Cough can be a killer disease for people who are living in poverty, with a poor diet, and inadequate housing conditions. But it is not usually a disease that kills healthy, fit individuals. I remember my mother being involved in parties for young children during outbreaks of childhood diseases, including Whooping Cough. The basis on which parents used to do this was that disease is usually experienced in a minor form, and contracting the disease naturally provides a more 'natural' immunity.

Yet when someone does contract the disease, there are lots of ways to limited its impact, and speed recovery. Even something as simple as Vitamin C is known to be helpful.

* Vitamin C for Whooping Cough. International Medical Council on Vaccination

But Homeopathy, above all, is a therapy that deals calmly, effectively and safely with Whooping Cough (as it does for other childhood diseases). Reading this, and the following articles will tell you why, and they also mention a number of remedies that have been successfully used for treating this illness for over 200 years now.

* Help For Whooping Cough When Prevention Fails
* Homeopathy Makes a Real Difference in Whooping Cough | NAB Communities
* The Homeopathic Option for Whooping Cough

Indeed, as this article says, Homeopathy treats Whooping cough dramatically more effectively than conventional, drug-based medicine.

Homeopathy dramatically more effective at preventing and treating whooping cough than allopathic medicine

All the dangers of the DPT and '5-in-1' vaccines have not been considered here. But they have been known for many decades. The dangers of the DPT vaccine, in particular, has been know for many decades now. Harris L Coulter, and Barbara Loe Fisher wrote their book "A Shot in the Dark. Why the P in the DPT vaccination may be hazardous to your child's health" over 20 years ago, in 1991. The 'P' stands for Pertussin!

The conventional medical establishment, however, continues to ignore this, and present us with vaccines they continue to tell us are safe and effective.

You should make your own judgement on this, after considering the evidence.

FACs. Fetal Anti-Convulsant Syndrome. A disease created by Big Pharma drugs?

Some years ago, I came across a family with two children suffering from this syndrome. This 'new' illness has affected 37,500 children in Britain, according to the British Epilepsy Association. FACS produces a range of neural, behavioural, and physical disorders, and can include conditions such as cleft palate and spina bifida, learning difficulties, behavioural problems and abnormalities in movement, speech, vision and hearing.

So what is FACS, and where does it come from? 

Yet another new, strange and rare disease with no known cause? Well, not really, the cause is well known. 

These children were damaged in the womb when the mother had taken anti-convulsant drugs, such as Epilim and Carbamazepine.

So FACS is, in fact, another conventional medical 'mistake', another disaster for parents and families where the 'science' of drug testing and drug regulation has proven to be no safeguard to public safety. At the time of writing, this condition has had little publicity, but this, in itself, is something that should be a matter of public concern. 

1. *Why are we not being told about such disease? 
2. *What is preventing this information becoming more widely known?

Janet Williams, who has two sons affected by FACS, founded the Organisation for Anti-Convulsant Syndrome (OACS). She says:

          "We want to hear from any family with a child with problems whose mother took any anti-epileptic drug in pregnancy".

She goes on to say that many of these children have been diagnosed with autism spectrum disorders (ASD). What do the drug companies say about it? Well, the usual denials.

* Anti-epileptic drugs are vital to the health of people with epilepsy, who should not stop taking them without consulting their doctor (so it is a balancing act again, weighing up the 'benefits' and the 'risks' of taking drugs).

* Health authorities regularly routinely and continually review the safety of all licensed medications (including, presumably, these drugs, so no comfort for the children or their parents who suffer from FACS).

* That warnings were given about valproate (the basic ingredient of epileptic drugs) in respect of possible effects in children born to mothers taking the product during pregnancy, and that "this information was approved by the regulatory authorities as consistent with current scientific knowledge" (which suggests that the dangers of the drugs were known to medical authorities, but they were prescribed to patients anyway).

This is just one example of how the Conventional Medical Establishment, with their drug-based medicine, are actually creating illness.

Why Homeopathy?

Most people, when they are unwell, go to see their NHS GP. In most other countries, patients usually see a conventionally trained doctor. The outcome is that usually they leave the surgery or hospital with conventional treatment, usually pharmaceutical drugs.

Rarely, if ever, are they told about alternative medical treatments, like Homeopathy, and how these might treat their illness. Indeed, conventional doctors are not qualified to give such advice. They are trained in their discipline alone, although many will seek to dissuade patients from having anything other the conventional medical treatment.

Yet more and more people, thoughout the world, are turning to alternative therapies, such as Homeopathy.

Often, perhaps too often, the reason for doing so is negative. Patients have found out that pharmaceutical don't work, or that they pose dangers, side-effects that are actually new diseases. Often people just want to avoid it conventional medical treatment, often at any cost.

It is only later that they discover the benefits of their decision - that Alternative Medical Therapies, like Homeopathy, are far more effective, far safer, and much less expensive medical therapies.

Conventional, drug-based medicine is failing - and failing badly.

Yet, the choice of Alternative Therapies, especially Homeopathy is, and should be, a positive choice for patients. If more people were more aware of the dangers of Conventional Medicine, and more people were aware of the benefits of Homeopathy in the treatment of all illnesses, they would be better able to make an 'informed' choice about the medical therapy they wish to use for their illness or condition.

This is the purpose of my new website, Why Homeopathy?

This website looks at individual illnesses and diseases, and compares Conventional Medical treatment with Homeopathic treatment. It has arisen from three factors:

1. In line with Government's policy on 'Patient Choice', "No decision about me without me", there are a growing number of people, and patients, who want to choose the medical therapy they prefer.

2. The failure of the NHS to provide comparative medical information of this kind, and the almost total domination of the Conventional Medical Establishment within the NHS, means that it is very difficult to obtain this information.

3. The growing misinformation campaign, and the attacks being made on Homeopathy by members of the Conventional Medical Establishment. This ranges from Homeopaths being called 'witches' by the British Medical Association, and the oft-repeated mantra of Homeopathy Denialists, in the pay of Big Pharma drug companies, that 'there is no evidence' for Homeopathy.

The new 'Why Homeopathy?' website can be found here, and the number of illness covered is increasing gradually.
