Fever and Vaccination - Quareness Series 96th "Lecture".
“There is the greatest difference between presuming an opinion to be true, because, with every opportunity for contesting it, it has not been refuted, and assuming its truth for the purpose of not permitting its refutation” - per John Stuart Mill in his 1859 "On Liberty". It's noticeable today how much our media comment is becoming home to a sort of “laziness” in which ideological adversaries are viewed as soft targets who can be taken down with shallow and emotionally charged arguments. Indeed it seems in many cases that whatever passes for some form of creed (from whichever side of the political or social spectrum) must be stoutly defended in an increasingly dogmatic and self-righteous tone. Instead of offering a vibrant forum for discussion, much of our main stream media (at least in our neck of the woods) appears to be morphing into an echo chamber of a certain segment of opinion reflecting a deafening so called "consensus" on a host of moral and social questions.
Any ideologically uniform media may tend to erect a public sphere that is feverishly dismissive toward the views of a large contingent of the citizenry. Whilst there is obviously nothing intrinsically wrong with any individual journalists or media organs expressing their opinions or promoting their values, there is something deeply disturbing about a media culture mostly representing a limited segment of opinion when there is in fact much cultural, ideological and moral division on many important issues.
Could it be that ideological convergence is increasingly being seen as a sign of collective enlightenment rather than possibly conferring cheap authority on contestable opinions through giving the impression that they are immune to serious challenge? On the contrary the self-congratulatory and uncritical character of such "restricted" media debate would perhaps tend to promote widespread ideological groupthink and intolerance, which is hardly helpful for fostering an inclusive type of democracy. It would appear that for our future wellbeing, all of us have a stake in the development of an engaged, informed, intelligent and thoughtful citizenry, and we'd need to be particularly wary of any "vaccinated" media that moves in ideological lockstep.
What's with this increasing tendency to restrict the art of healing
Driven by a powerful undercover dictatorial medical sector,
With each disease presenting a gold mine of "treatable" symptoms
Essentially requiring incurability of our human minds and bodies.
What's with this drug-based manipulating model of perceived value
Bearing a resounding echo of those readily derived toxic products,
Essentially creating the illusion of prosperous financial wellbeing
And also involving a handful of elite in fact pulling the strings.
It seems no disease ever was caused by lack of a drug
And any medicine not directly associated with healing
Can potentially feed a highly organised mass control,
Depriving us all of our health and wealth.
As monotheism rests on there being one true god
Modern medicine upholds one "evidence-based" truth
And absolutely only one correct way of application,
Giving absolute power to those claiming to know all.
Today's physician is becoming a priest of the corpus
Capable of influencing the course of life and death,
Laying exclusive claim to the body in the same way
As our religions formerly laid claim to the soul.
According to Dr. Thomas Cowan MD of the Weston A. Price Foundation (a rather controversial American advocate body for non-processed human nutrition)..."When we get sick, there's a very certain sequence of events that happens, which I describe as, 'We're fine, then we get hot, then we get snot, and then we get better.' I've asked myself all these years, 'Why does that happen in that sequence?' That little question made me get into 'What is the nature of fever, and what is the nature of the cell?' Because, in my opinion, we have that wrong …What's the intention of your body? Once you see that, then you start to see that if you do something to prevent that sequence of events from happening … you're going to end up with something worse happening. In a sense, that's the story of modern pediatrics and health of the children in the United States, and even more broadly, probably in the world. The thwarting of that sequence is such a problem. That, of course, is tied in with vaccines, because they're a preemptive attack on that sequence."
Through investigating the nature of water he discovered that it exists in four phases
...solid, liquid, vapor and a gel phase known as exclusion zone (EZ) water. And as a result he came to realise that all of our bodily intracellular fluid is in a gel phase. When you heat up hydrophilic proteins in water they unfold from a circular to essentially a linear shape which enables them to interact with the water so that when it cools it forms this gel. Inside our cells there are intracellular proteins and there's water and a "heating" molecule called adenosine triphosphate (ATP) which binds with the proteins, unfolds them and allows the cell to interact with water thereby forming a gel within. There's a charge around the cell as a result of the difference between the sodium and potassium involved, and this allows the cell to integrate itself into a whole and to do work.
The nature of the intracellular gel is like a mesh which naturally excludes sodium and collects potassium. The only energy required for a perfectly well-functioning cell seems to be that given by ATP to unfold the proteins. In Dr. Cowan's view the things that create good health so that we don't fall ill are those that facilitate the creation of this "perfect" gel e.g. good food, human touch, sunlight, etc.
He explains that when something happens in your body to interfere with this process of creating structured water in the cell, the disease process sets in with the intention of re-establishing healthy gel. And when you insert toxins (e.g. aluminum, arsenic, etc.) the ability of the gel to form properly is distorted, which in turn prevents healthy cell functioning. As a result the cell cannot exclude the sodium and it cannot include the potassium, nor indeed can it properly perform any of its other functions. Your body creates heat to eliminate these toxins, which become more liquid / runny through heating up the gel. Thus we have a two phase elimination process - fever followed by detoxification through the mucus/snot trapping the "intruders" and expelling them from the body.
For our children inevitably making metabolic poisons and exposed to all kinds of things, it seems to be a natural part of the growing process itself to occasionally do a heating up and a snotting out. A child or adult doing so all the time, however, may point to the presence of a chronic disease i.e. being chronically intoxicated by different influences, shortchanged on those things that create good health (see earlier) or thwarted from going through those natural phases.
Dr. Cowan's position on vaccines is that they all cause a distortion in the two branches of our immune response i.e the cell-mediated immunity and the humoral immunity, which in turn radically increases our risk of cancer. Essentially when a virus enters the body and infects the cells distorting the gel, the disease process is triggered - fever followed by mucus/snot build up and expulsion, in turn followed by recovery. The mucus/snot of course is a byproduct of this process involving the cell-mediated immune response which activates white blood cells and chemicals that attract them to the site of infection where the white blood cells basically chew up and spit out the infected cells. As he sees it..."The experience of being sick is the cell-mediated immune system becoming activated. The function of that is to clear the virus, clear the dead cells and rejuvenate the gels. Once that happens you're no longer sick." Once recovered your humoral immune system kicks in and starts generating antibodies against the virus to prevent the disease process from occurring again, should you be exposed to the same virus later on.
In setting out his view on how vaccines distort our immune responses Dr. Cowan has stated..."Vaccines are engineered to avoid a cell-mediated reaction. Why is that? Because if you gave somebody a live virus and provoked a cell-mediated reaction, you would make the child sick with all the attendant risks of that…The whole point of a vaccine is to not have a cell-mediated reaction, which is the part that clears the virus...Vaccines do provoke a humoral or antibody response, albeit a temporary one. Because without the cell-mediated response coming first, the antibody response doesn't last. How do I know that? Because you have to keep giving booster shots over and over again, or the immunity wears off. Now, you could say the strategy of a vaccine is to provoke antibody responses. That's the strategy. The other thing that comes into play here is, why don't they give just measles virus in saline? Why do they put all these toxic additives like dead fetal cells, glyphosate, aluminum, formaldehyde and a whole list of stuff as long as your arm into the vaccine…Because a saline and virus solution doesn't create an antibody reaction. There's no antibody reaction to do anything … so you have to put aluminum or another adjuvant in it. Adjuvant means 'helper.' These are added to provoke a broad-spectrum antibody humoral immune response. Now, when you look at the definition of autoimmune diseases … they are characterized by an excessive antibody reaction. That's how we diagnose them. If you have antibodies to antinuclear antibodies, that means you have lupus. If you have antibodies to rheumatoid factor, that means you have rheumatoid arthritis. If you have antibodies to your thyroid hormone, that means you have Hashimoto's. At some point, somebody has to ask, 'How come all these people have too many antibodies?' As you know, because I'm a bit of a smart aleck, I'd say, 'Maybe the vaccine program worked.' I mean that's the point, right? To make you have the antibodies. So, it worked."
A problem with vaccine adjuvants seems to be that they cannot selectively trigger the activation of antibodies against a specific virus..."There's no theoretical way you can give a nonspecific adjuvant and think that it's only going to make diphtheria antibodies, for example. It doesn't work like that. Sure, the diphtheria vaccine, for example, will trigger the creation of diphtheria antibodies since diphtheria antigens are added to the solution, but the chances of it making diphtheria antibodies exclusively is zero. So, you have people walking around with nonspecific activation of their humoral immune system. Yehuda Shoenfeld, editor-in-chief of Autoimmunity Reviews and The Journal of Immunology, who has written hundreds of papers and books on how autoimmune diseases develop, basically says there's a syndrome called ASIA, which stands for 'Autoimmune Syndrome Induced by Adjuvants,' which is apparently going to be renamed 'Shoenfeld's Syndrome.' He estimates there are 150 million people worldwide who have this syndrome … When you talk about cancer, the reason it's been so difficult to develop an effective cancer vaccine is because vaccines make antibodies. It's not generally speaking the part of the immune system, if even cancer is an immunological disease in the first place, which I doubt. It's probably a metabolic disease. But it's certainly not a disease of the humoral immune system. If anything, it's an intoxication, which then affects your metabolic function. The detox system is the cell-mediated immune system. The cell-mediated immune system is deactivated, suppressed by Tylenol, Motrin, and antibiotics and just the fact of not letting children go through cell-mediated activating diseases. That's the tragedy of this …For some reason, medicine in general and pediatrics in particular, have essentially decided to wage war on the cell-mediated immune system. But that's our best friend. That's how we detoxify. If you suppress fevers your whole life, essentially, you're going to have to do saunas when you're older."
Fever, with the aim of producing a cleaner system, facilitates the detoxification process. Rushing to administer fever-reducing medicine may effectively prevent or interrupt this healing process. A better alternative might be to administer liposomal vitamin C which will aid and speed the process rather than stop it. With measles for example there's an activation of the cell-mediated immune system with fever, which seems to amount to the same thing as effective detoxification. The measles vaccine, however, which apparently has been (is?) believed to create an identical immunity as the natural disease, instead stimulates the humoral immune system thereby seeming to "put the cart before the horse" (see above).
Another interesting case in point here is the polio virus...an enterovirus meaning it lives in the gastrointestinal tract. Apparently there are virtually no recorded cases of paralytic polio in the medical literature prior to the late 1800s. In wondering what caused this virus to attack its host, Dr. Cowan noticed that in two of the earliest outbreaks in Europe and Vermont USA, arsenic-based insecticides had been introduced shortly before. Soon it was known that such an insecticide caused paralysis in cattle, and eventually it was discovered that it acts on the anterior horn cells of the nervous system...the very part of the nervous system that polio is said to affect. Over time this arsenic-based chemical became increasingly widespread, and along with it came the "emergence" of polio.
From 1915 to 1918 polio cases in the US were concentrated on the Eastern Seaboard...particularly in Long Island. Dan Olmsted a journalist who researched the matter, discovered that Long Island was the first place to introduce sugar grown on Hawaiian sugar plantations using a particular form of arsenic for weed control. It turns out arsenic concentrates itself in the sugar and wherever this sugarcane ended up, so did outbreaks of paralytic polio...in the words of Dr. Cowan on this particular finding - "So, in order for the virus to cause disease, you first have to have some negative effect on the anterior horn cells, which came through arsenic."
Dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethane (DDT) is another chemical with a particular affinity for the anterior horn cells of the nervous system. And there's a close correlation when you compare the summer sprayings of DDT and rates of polio in those same areas...the more DDT was sprayed, the more polio cases were reported. In time it began to be suspected that paralytic polio may have been caused by neurochemical poisoning rather than by a virus. A follow-up study of cases where children died of paralytic polio revealed that just under half of them (49%) had no evidence of any viral infection at all, strongly suggesting that paralytic polio cannot be solely a virally driven disease. Again as noted by Dr. Cowan..."In the early '60s, Rachel Carson wrote the book 'Silent Spring,' and DDT stopped being used in the U.S. That was around the exact same time that the polio epidemic ended. We no longer use arsenic on the fields and we don't see paralytic polio anymore."
Now whether Dr. Cowan is fully/partly correct or not, his view does add to our being informed about this whole matter. My own view is that it's vitally important for decisions regarding our own health to remain fully with ourselves and not with "authorities" (see previous reference to this in my "Some Unintended Consequences of Good Intentions" of April 2018). Ladies and gentlemen what's at stake here is our ability and freedom to think for ourselves in the face of a tendency for authoritarian mindsets to restrict our access to information...without free thought there can be no true freedom.
