It doesn't take a mental giant to assume that even small doses of toxins from vaccines (which are rampant with metals, bacteria and viruses) could push them over the edge into many different types of illness, not just autism. These poor babies don't stand a chance of enjoying good healthy lives with this type of burden.

]]> Comment on The rise and fall of zinc as a cure for the common cold. [erv] by LouHom http://newage.org/?p=16870#comment-4075 LouHom Sun, 28 Jun 2009 12:58:13 +0000 http://newage.org/2009/06/19/the-rise-and-fall-of-zinc-as-a-cure-for-the-common-cold-erv/#comment-4075 Zicam is not really a homeopathic product. Everyone seems to be confused and in error about this. The Zinc gluconate is at a 2x potency which is almost a material dose of Zinc gluconate. It is like sniffing the zinc up your nose. 2x means that the zinc gluconate has had 9 drops added to it, shaken. Then one drop of that has had a further 9 drops added and shaken. It has only been potentised twice and at 1 to 9 (i.e. the decimal potency, rather than the centesimal potency - 1 to 100 normally used for homeopathic preparations). So yes, people were sniffing zinc gluconate in a fairly undiluted form which would possibly cause harm. Normally homeopathic products are at least a 6x potency. Bach flower essences (i.e. Rescue Remedy, etc.) are all 5x potencies but they are made from flower essences and so fairly harmless. Zicam is not really a homeopathic product.

If they were genetically engineered and cloned, they would be the perfect research models, and if their mental capacities were less than that of, say, a rat, there could surely be no rational ethical objection.

When my doctor said I was developing an acute apnea, that's when I told myself I needed to do something about it. So I googled everything about it trying to learn more. I had chatted with the folks at live forever at http://letslivelonger.blogspot.com/2009/04/sleep-better-you-can-do-it.html and discovered I needed to make some changes to my life. I'm so glad I did and am. Thanks again! I have had trouble sleeping for years. When my doctor said I was developing an acute apnea, that’s when I told myself I needed to do something about it.

]]> Comment on Modern shamanism—naturopathy for hypertension [White Coat Underground] by S G http://newage.org/?p=16615#comment-3831 S G Mon, 27 Apr 2009 21:25:57 +0000 http://newage.org/2009/04/11/modern-shamanism-naturopathy-for-hypertension-white-coat-underground/#comment-3831 I cannot believe the ignorance from a supposed "Real" Doctor. I thank God that you are not my doctor and I feel sorry for your patients. You are what is wrong with Western medicine. How is it that countries without the mighty Western healing philosophies have less incidents of cancer and heart disease per capita? My guess is you have not educated yourself at all as to what kind of schooling a Natruopathic Doctor must go through, what type of board exams are required or what residencies are also required. I know this because you aren't even aware they these things exist! Try to go to Bastyr, National or Southwest College of Naturopathic Medicine. You will find it just as challenging as your "superior" allopathic schooling. I cannot believe the ignorance from a supposed “Real” Doctor.
