I guess I am in the minority here but I quite like Mercola I have done some research of my own on him. He is a successful doctor in good standing with a thriving practice of his own, He has never had a complaint filed against him and I believe that he does what he does with his site because he feels passionately about natural health and wants to educate and inform people. The things he sells he believes in and the money he makes from the sales...

In this case, I do not feel that there are any crazy overprotective c.y.a. warnings. In the case of the H1N1 vaccination, these things are in the fine print of the package insert -- and let's face it, who actually sees the package insert? Even if they handed them out to people -- let's face it, who would actually read the fine print? Because this vaccine is brand-new and unstudied, and because it is unique in the fact that this is...

I would not be at all surprised to find out that nutrition turns out to be rather more central to mass vaccination programmes than is currently thought. It makes sense. Sound nutrition is essential for good health, and I doubt vaccines can replace that. The attempts to get the rota virus vaccine to work in the developing world are not going quite to plan. From what I have understood the nutritional status of the babies is part of the problem.

I am re-opening the thread. I have removed several threads which were either not consistent with our guidelines or were responding to such posts. Please remember that the focus of this discussion needs to remain focused on the vaccine issues. If you wish to further explore breastfeeding issues, please do so in our Breastfeeding forum or privately. Any further disruption of this vaccination discussion will result in removal of the thread. Feel...

It does seem odd that many "experts' don't know that only 60% of adults are immune to diphtheria, so any "herd immunity", even if it worked for the toxoid, is non-existant.

As in, if so many are vaccinated and DO have the immunity then its less likly for those who can't be vaccinated, or who don't develop an immunity from the vaccine can also have the same protection, since the risk is lowered. Thats the idea...

I think if I were you I would call them then report your concerns that they're not following the insert contra-indications to the state. But I might be a little overboard on that. It's irritating when the medical community doesn't follow their own guidelines (can we say Cytotec?) ita about the...
