From: Patrick Quanten, MD. ahcare.qua@virgin.net Sent: Thursday, June 08, 2006. http://www.activehealthcare.co.uk for knowledge and well-being - in truth and in health Vaccination Information Most micro-organisms that cause serious illnesses live within healthy people without causing any symptoms at all. No vaccine containing “pure” micro-organisms elicits an immune response. Only when a toxin is added to the vaccine does the body respond to it. The presence of antibodies is not an indication of immunity. They are only a small part of the blood immune response. Government statistics show that death rates of ALL infectious diseases had drastically fallen BEFORE the introduction of the specific vaccinations. (The only exception is smallpox, which showed a 275% increase after vaccination was introduced. The program was consequently terminated and smallpox vaccination disappeared.) An unvaccinated child is not an unprotected child - it still has its natural immunity. The Lancet (12 January 1980) reported that the BCG vaccine, against tuberculosis, showed no evidence of protection but rather an increase in tuberculosis cases. This has been the only double-blind vaccine test ever to have been published. Micro-organisms (bacteria, viruses, fungi, parasites) do not cause diseases, they aid in the cleaning up process of healing, the road back to health. Natural immunity is not disease-specific; one does not need to have come in touch with all diseases in order to gain immunity against them. All so-called “infectious” diseases are the result of a toxic condition within the organ or the whole body. The symptoms relate to the elimination effort the system is making to clear out the toxins. Susceptibility to disease depends solely on the state of health of the body, not on the exposure to micro-organisms. HOWEVER, if you believe that your vaccination gives you full protection against infectious diseases, then it should not matter to you whether somebody else has been vaccinated or not!
