While highly appreciating Dr. Mercola's web site in general, I must disagree with him about some vaccinations /immunizations.

It should be clear to any doctor –anybody who is open minded-that not vaccinating at least against poliomyelitis and tetanus [let me add diphtheria] is in my opinion a cruel act to your children.

Anybody who knows a friend with poliomyelitis will tell you!

Dying from tetanus [a cruel death] is now probably very rare, because the success of the world wide vaccinations programs.

This applies also to being crippled by poliomyelitis –G-d forbid.

That there are plenty of totally unnecessary or doubtful or even damaging vaccinations, I agree and there is nobody who can bring any reasonable arguments for them but just "robotically arguments" or because these vaccines have to be sold.

Don't throw the baby away……….be responsible.

India reported at least 525 polio cases last year.

Before the latest polio outbreak, no new cases had been found in Bangladesh since 2000.

However, the World Health Organisation (WHO) did not declare it polio-free because of its proximity to India, where there are still hot spots, especially in the northern state of Uttar Pradesh.

Bangladesh has planned another polio vaccination drive for April 8 and two more rounds for October and November if India fails to eliminate the virus.

Polio is endemic in Nigeria, India, Pakistan and Afghanistan, according to the Global Polio Eradication Initiative, spearheaded by the WHO.

When the WHO-led drive began in 1988, the disease was endemic in 125 countries, and paralysed more than 350,000 children each year.

Immunisation campaigns slashed the number of cases to 1,900 last year, 749 of them in Nigeria.

I live in Michigan and have been looking for a Naturopath.  I would be interested in contacting you Dr. White... if you check this post, please let me know how to reach your office as I couldn't find the number in the yellow pages.

Thank you!

Does anyone know how I view this video? I can't find it on the website.

Search: video truth about vaccinations

All Vaccines are poisons.  None are necessary.  50% of Medical Schools teach 1 nutrition class, and the other 50% teach ZERO.  Medical Doctors chase around disease after disease.  The researchers get paid to research and "find a cure." There is no money in it for the Doctors and Pharmaceutical companies for a person to take whole food supplements and be healthy!  The whole system loves the white flour, high fructose syrup, synthetic vitamins like Centrum etc... that only make you sicker! They love Mcdonalds etc... Solution is preventative medicine.  Linus Pauling, Bernard Jenson, Mr. Bragg , Jack La Lanne etc...  Omega 3's and Vitamin D3 is crucial!
Prevent all the diseases .... we don't need to name more diseases.  Everyone should be taking cod liver oil daily!  It has omegas, Vitamin A, Vitamin D, Vitamin E.
SIDS is a Vitamin C problem.  Many JAMA or other Medical journals from the last 50 years back up the science that proved success through preventative medicine with proper Nutrition.

I have seen both ends of this argument in that my husband's oldest brother contracted polio as a child shortly before the vaccine came out. He has a permanent spine deviation that prohibits him from doing most jobs. He also spent nearly a year in a body cast.

For a short while I was a Cub Scout leader and one of the young members hobbled on one foot (the other foot being normal). In talking with his mother, who is also a registered nurse, he contracted polio from the vaccine which caused the deformity in the lower leg.

It seems to me getting vaccinations or not getting them is a lot like playing Russian Roulette.

Myself, after learning about the preservative thimerosol (mercury, etc.), tried to find a flu shot this year without the preservative. It was recommended to me to have a flu shot because of Type II Diabetes, but I am of the opinion that the shot would be more detrimental than whatever flu it may or may not prevent. At any rate the place I have been able to find a preservative-free flu shot is at the local health department. I was refused this shot because I didn't fall into one of two catagories: I wasn't pregnant and I wasn't a child! Their rules prohibited them giving anyone else the preservative-free flu shot! I explained my endocrine stress health and that I didn't want to add more mercury to my already over-burdened system. The nurse's reply: I don't blame you.

More importantly, this government-run health department will only administer the preservative-free shot if you are pregnant or a child. So what does that tell you?
