1986:
The Texas Vaccination Disaster
(The vax story takes place
in San Antonio, Texas, USA in 1986, below)
My part of this story started around 1979 after I became terribly
ill over about a 3 year period. By "ill" I mean I gave
up fighting and went home to die in my early thirties at a time
when I had stage 2 stomach cancer, ovarian cysts, chronic bronchitis,
arthritis, sciatica, and a heart condition caused by the acute
raging infection in my ovaries that was poisoning my entire system.
Besides that I had a lifelong enemia and hypothyroism unresponsive
to conventional treatment. After a long period of intense suffering
and sometimes unmanageable pain, the vague thought of death not
entirely unwelcome. I was flat broke, no insurance, single, and
my earlier attempts to get medical care made everything worse.
Antibiotics pushed the acute bronchitis into an untreatable chronic
state, they wanted to operate on my ovaries, pain killers and
anti-inflammatories did nothing for the other conditions, and
by the time I knew I had serious stomach problems, I had given
up on finding medical solutions. I couldn't pay for treatment
or surgery anyway.
The last few days in wintry Spokane, Washington
where I lived and worked as a free-lance artist remain burned
into my memory like a white-hot acid engraving on stone. My income
depended on my work output, and it now took me 24 hours of working
and sleeping for moments at a time to produce an hour or two of
product. The money was gone, and so was the heating fuel. I had
nothing left but electricity which hadn't been turned off yet--they
generously hesitated doing that in the middle of winter when the
bill hadn't been paid. Mine was about 2 months behind.
The only heat left came from my cooking stove,
so I moved a work table in by the oven, turned all the burners
on and opened the oven door. That's where I stayed most of the
day and night, wrapped in a blanket, trying to squeeze out just
a little more effort, not ready to give up. But the pain overwhelmed
me and several times during the day I went to take hot showers
followed by cold ones, which I discovered made me feel better
for a while, and I sipped on homemade margaritas to remain anesthetized.
Alcohol doesn't stop the pain--you just don't care as much when
slightly under the influence. I didn't over-indulge or it would
be gone too soon, but just "took the edge off" throughout
the day. Food was easy. My former companion of several years,
whose own over-indulgence ended our relationship had cooked extensively
with eggs. After a life-time aversion to eggs they began to taste
good, to the point where I was addicted and ate only an omelet
or two during the day.
But, the alcohol was gone, the food was gone
and there was only the cash left for one last tank of gas. Something
horrible clawed at my stomach, fevers came and went, and the sciatic
pain in my back and legs made me understand why some sufferers
chose suicide as a way to end it. The same with the arthritic
pain in my neck, shoulders and spine as I tried to bend over my
work for only a minute or two at a time. It wore at me day and
night until I was physically and mentally exhausted. Sometimes
I could barely breath--inhaling deeply caused pain--and I coughed
up mucus constantly. Finally, the fight was gone. Without much
thought I started gathering up what I couldn't leave behind and
ended the struggle.
It was a polar bear kind of winter with high snow as I packed
up what I could in my aging Volkswagen when a fellow scrimshaw
artist (engraved fossil ivory--my trade at the time) who had never
made any personal overtures towards me in the past pulled into
the driveway. I was busy preparing to abandon everything I couldn't
stuff in the car and head for my family's empty house--they traveled
in the winter--200 miles away where I would at least find stored
food and shelter I could no longer provide on my own and told
her so.
When my "colleague" of sorts learned
I was ill and unable to work she began talking about health problems
of her own that had been turned around by some "herb"
doctor or something. I'd had a bellyful of doctoring
and wanted no more but deeply ingrained rules of civility demanded
politeness so I pretended to listen, thanked her, and hurried
on my way with my last few dollars in the gas tank.
In a country house shrouded with fog, surrounded
by snowbanks and lying in desolate silence I parked myself in
a recliner in the dark for days and let sensory deprivation dull
the pain in my body while my thoughts expanded and filled the
room and beyond. The rat-like thing gnawing on my gut eased up
some as though finally having its fill but still nibbled and made
its quieter presence known.
It came to me like a specter--"stomach cancer."
I might die horribly. I found that thinking a thing abstractly
and facing the reality of it were two entirely different matters.
Strangely, during that time period I felt less intensely ill in
the quietness with simple dried or frozen foods instead of the
margaritas and omelets I had taken to living on almost exclusively.
Uninvited Guest
After a time my parents arrived home unnerved to find an estranged,
adult daughter had not only commandeered the house in their absence,
but was too ill to evict, creating a toxic environment like the
Sartre short story about 3 incompatible souls trapped in a single
room in hell together. Desperation, pain and some small spark
of survival instinct literally shoved me to my knees spiritually
and physically (the old saying "there are no atheists in
a foxhole" comes to mind) and I ranted and raved and demanded
intervention from a Higher Power. Strangely, a feeling of peace
came over me and I got the first night of sound sleep I'd had
in the last few miserable years which had seen my closest friend
who was also a cousin I grew up with murdered, I joined the army
(after his violent death it was more accessible than the Foreign
Legion) only to discover that my recruiter lied about everything
to get me--his only college graduate--to sign up, and following
after that, my long-time companion, a brilliant Vietnamese professor
of linguistics who kept me going with acupressure and Oriental
medicine after I became ill, became so obviously alcoholic (I
just hadn't seen it clearly in the beginning) that I couldn't
remain with him and I found myself alone in the world and desperately
ill. Or so I thought.
A Different Kind of Doctor
The next morning I overheard a phone call between my
mother and Laura Jones, one of her closest friends, discussing
the exploratory surgery that had just been cancelled for the other
woman's daughter because they found a doctor who correctly diagnosed
the cause of her mysterious health problems. It was like a jolt
of electricity hit--the hair on my arms stood up. I asked her
to call the woman back and get the doctor's name. And of course...it
was the "herb" doctor a temporary angel showed up to
tell me about in the ice and snow 200 miles away. In that moment,
my life "turned on a dime"...not the first nor last
time that was to happen.
After being diagnosed with digestive enzyme deficiency food intolerances--the
foods I had become addicted to--and healed by a protocol I'd never
seen before almost miraculously in 5 weeks, I went away and tried
to get on with life but returned to his clinic in 1981 with a
new husband and 6-mouth-old baby in tow, determined to understand
the “miracle” in terms I could explain to others.
A debt of gratitude burned like a fire in my belly--it needed
to be quenched.
Learning About Naturopathic Healing
I spent 2 ½ years at his clinic while he mentored
me as a lay person, studying his methods and naturopathic
principles in general. I soon realized my focus--the
laws of nature and how to work with them instead of against them,
as many medical treatments do. For example, most patients want
a "feel better faster" pill or potion, whom
allopaths (medical doctors) accommodate by medicating to stop
symptoms. In doing so, they "mask" symptoms by suppressing
the immune system. That can push an acute condition into a chronic
state--a stage of disease that is difficult if not impossible
to treat by conventional medical treatment geared for "management,"
not cure.
Off To Write a Book
In 1986, I made plans to go to San Antonio, Texas, to
work with a former schoolmate I'd run into at a class reunion--a
computer expert with organizational skills--who was interested
in my research and wanted to collaborate on a book with me. He
ran the computer department on a military base, but when we arrived
and contacted him, he was in the middle of something hush-hush
that had him tied up. Even getting on the base where he worked
was difficult, though we were military too. I put the pieces together
later and realized that he was busy sending secret arms to Iran,
which shipped out of that base (Kelly), so that left us at odds,
with my whole purpose for being there derailed. My retired military
husband agreed to the move because he found a technical school
there where he could use his GI Bill and a tuition grant, so I
was left to find a job and went looking to put my daughter Michelle
in kindergarten so I could get something done.
The Vaccination Dilemma
My family had a history of vaccination disasters. During World
War 11, my father got yellow fever from the vaccine. An infant
niece had her baby shots and had a terrible reaction that continued
until she was taken to Dr. Dick. My brother's wife was so stressed
dealing with this constantly crying child that the skin peeled
off her hands, and the family cancelled plans for another baby.
A nephew got measles from a measles vaccine. And me--I had a horror
of vaccinations that went beyond fearing the prick of a needle
as a child. I belonged to that first cohort of 8-9 year old guinea
pigs herded like sheep into mass vaccination events in our school
gymnasiums. After the first or second shot, I started tearing
up my parent-signed permission slips and hiding in these enclosed
coat closets they used to have at the back of a classroom, or
in a toilet stall standing on the seat while the other children
went single-file docilely out to the gymnasium. Needles at the
dentist didn't bother me but there was something about this whole
scenario that provoked such horror and loathing in me that my
normally shy nature was emboldened uncharacteristically at the
time. I was never well after whatever shots I had, although
I know the first was polio, and I remember taking the oral dose
later on. Of course I was better
off than the two kids in my age group at school who died of leukemia
that same year. One of them was a playmate.
The Poisoned Needle
The late, great doctor Robert Mendelssohn, M.D., author of the
best-selling book “Confessions of a Medical Heretic,”
was in the vaccine labs at the time the Salk vaccine was
in production, and described scientists there as “running
around like chickens with their heads cut off” because they
knew the vaccine was contaminated with a leukemia virus of animal
origin. They ended up keeping their mouths shut and using it anyway,
vaccinating the least susceptible age group (mine) at the tail
end of a waning epidemic—the third one in the twentieth
century--which was already nearly ended as such epidemics invariably
do.
Before compulsory mass vaccinations around 1955,
childhood leukemia was an almost unknown disease. After the mass
vaccination program, leukemia became one of the top 10 killer
diseases of children. And a leukemia virus wasn’t the only
contaminant in the famous monkey kidney cell-based vaccine. It
harbored a nightmare directory of up-and-coming microbial contaminants--SV40,
Epstein-Barr, and many others. At the same time, auto-immune and
neurological diseases started showing up in larger numbers.
Monkey Business
SV40 (Simian Virus 40) proved to be extra-special. It later gave
birth to the entire field of recombinant virology,
in which men in white coats got to play GOD and piece
together all new viral tribes--Frankenviruses. That created a
new era in germ warfare at the same
time. Sometimes they created viral monsters for fun, "to
see just how bad BAD can be" one scientist admitted. Certain
confiscated documents suggest that a virus was requested that
exactly matches the description of HIV, the imperfectly purified
and questionably isolated virus whose primary component, genetically
speaking thought to be of a 60-70% homology to a bad simian virus,
came from the same monkeys used to make vaccines. However, direct
infection from the monkeys (via bites, eating the meat, having
sex with monkeys, etc.) was a carefully planted lie. Man and monkey
co-existed since the beginning of time without transmission of
SIV (Simian Immunodeficiency Virus) which supposedly evolved magically
into a humanized variety. Not so. It had to be altered, added
on to by recombination events, and adapted to human physiology
first ...which can theoretically happen naturally in the process
of vaccine production, or unnaturally in a test tube.
SV40 is called a 'naked virus." It lacks
the outer coating which allows a virus to enter only those cells
it has an affinity to. Instead, this nightmare entity can penetrate
virtually any cell, and carry other viruses piggyback with it.
Put it in a petri dish with two unlike viruses, and it allows
them to recombine in whatever cells are used in the experiment,
and viola!--a new tribe of viruses is created, often far more
dangerous than the parent viruses. The same thing can happen inside
the human cellular genome, and whole generations of children were
injected with this monstrosity, may still be harboring it and
passing it on. The virus was discovered in the stool of children
after the polio vaccination campaigns and reported in a European
medical journal, after which all references to the virus were
removed from public sources. Read the fascinating story of this
discovery,
HIV--Immun ization-Related
Syndrome, by Dr. Eva Lee Sneed, M.D. in the
magazine Health Freedom News. I later wrote a 40-page
report (which included 7 pages of references) based on all of
the information several key researchers couldn't get published
but had available, made 40 copies and sent them around the country.
One copy went to Dr.
Buttram, who sent me one in return. I gave the last
copy to someone for safekeeping, who lost it. It was a messy job
done on a manual typewriter, embarrasing to think about now, but
the content was explosive! A couple of contacts responded positively,
Such as the newshow "60 Minutes" but my PO Box got shut
down (I ran out of money), so I'll never know if they contacted
back or not. Other responses were horrendous. One report, along
with copies of several pieces of reference material from medical
and science journals went to former First Lady Roslyn Carter,
the figurehead for the national vaccination campaign "Every
Child By Two" had an unexpected result. The U.S. Secret Service
made a few calls, and it turned out they weren't even told why.
They thought I was a terrorist or someone "of interest"
who had an FBI file with the same last name and first initials,
which was how I sign the package. The final conversation with
agent Neil Goodman, in my home district, was almost funny as I
tried to convince him a was not the MAN in question, but entirely
female, to which he responded, "Have you had a sex change
operation?" --I do have a low voice. But somehow the "humor"
of pushed me into a depression so dark and deep that it required
5 weeks of hynotherapy with a psychologist before I could function
again.
Another copy went to The Rev. Hanna Kroeger,
RN, of Bolder, Colorado, something of a natural healing sensation
in certain circles who was both a tireless reseacher chasing down
information world-wide, but also a mystic who put together a multi-pronged
approach to healing AIDS with something that stripped the coat
off of "the simian virus" and the bovine-visna virus
(she ignored the HIV theory), and something else that then destroyed
them, treated parasites, chemical toxins, and other components
of AIDS that she saw as co-factors, including a tea that neutralized
the effects of fluoridated water, which she said contributed to
immune "paralysis" according to the symposium tape I
had purchased of a presentation she gave.She claimed to have achieved
sero-conversion, and she also spoke of curing cancer patients
with the Budwig protocol of seed oil mixed with sulphurated proteins
to make the omega 3 oils water soluble. When she received my report,
she sent me a two-page letter inviting me to come and stay with
her and learn how to use the treatment for AIDS patients. I wanted
desperately to go, but had an alcoholic husband, a young child,
and no money to even make the trip if I found someone I could
trust with Michelle. By the time I could, she had passed away.
Vaccination Adverse Effects
One of my closest friends almost died from a tetanus shot. Even
the expensive family hunting dogs my dad bought one year developed
tumors and cancer soon after being vaccinated, and both died in
spite of surgery. I also found out later through research that
the devastating animal disease epidemic of parvo started
from contaminated animal vaccines although the scientific monograph
I found buried deep somewhere didn't mention which one. If someone
wanted to research the issue, they could take a look at when this
epidemic started worldwide and find out which new vaccine had
been introduced or an old one changed just prior to the simultaneous
outbreak of the disease.
Part of my problems post-vaccination may have been digestive enzyme
deficiency food intolerances, but the general properties of vaccinations
that over-stimulate and over-tax the immune system may also (or
may not) have worsened the intolerances, although these are not
the same as immune-mediated allergies.. Low thyroid (hypothyroidism),
learning disabilities, autism, behavior disorders and auto-immune
diseases, in particular, link directly to the practice of vaccination,
according to recent research and theories. I was indeed anemic
and hypothyroid as a child, and not cured of either until Dr.
Dick treated me. In fact, the treatment for anemia made me ill,
and the thyroid meds I was told I had to continue for life did
nothing to help the symptoms.
Too Little Information
When I started doing research, I quickly learned that the subject
of vaccination dangers had a long history, little of which ever
saw the light of day as far as the general public went. It was
hard to find information. Dr. Dick was vehemently opposed to vaccination,
but I wasn’t clear on the specifics, other than they were
a source of toxic poisoning, and that the supposed immunity
gained from forced antibody response didn’t work the way
people thought. I followed his direction and avoided the
childhood vaccination guidelines. My daughter thrived—as
long as I carefully kept her on the food intolerance-free diet
we all followed individually. She had such a powerful immune system
that no infection even got a handle on her, no matter what she
was exposed to, or what injury occurred. All around me I saw children
with ear infections and ear tubes, fussy, sickly, behavior disorders,
learning problems, and runny noses. With mine, super nutrition
and the right foods produced a physically beautiful, healthy,
highly intelligent human being—I saw Dr. Dick’s principles
and practices produce splendid results in my own child.
VACCINATION DISASTER:
Our Unvaccinated Child In Texas
So,
at age 5 Michelle moved with us to the state of Texas—the
most pro-medical, anti “alt med” place in the country,
as far as I could tell at the time, and vaccination-obsessed.
I found out immediately no one in public service would take an
unvaccinated child. My retired military husband couldn’t
even leave her for an hour in the base daycare so we could shop
alone. They were so stringent and obsessive on the base that officers
came through almost hourly to make certain every child there had
vaccine records on file. So, no daycare, no pre-schools, no kindergarten
public or private would take her. My only hope was to find a babysitter,
and we knew no one in the neighborhood.
We looked into churches, since the state did
allow religious exemptions, but only from a couple of churches,
and they seemed to have their own schools. We contacted them,
but it required a long period before membership was even allowed,
which didn't help the situation. At that time I wrote to a well-known
writer/researcher in the area of naturopathic medicine, Dr. Eleanor
McBean, who wrote a book VACCINATION CONDEMNED. I hoped
she could give me some advice about getting my child into school
without the shots.
A short time after writing, we went to the Lackland
Air Force Base for groceries when daughter Michelle, being rambunctious
as usual, ran ahead and jumped up on the edge of a raised flower
bed "walking the plank" when she fell in and cut her
neck on a raised plastic sprinkler pipe. It was just a superficial
flesh wound no more than skin deep, but the way the skin on the
neck stretches, it immediately made a large gaping wound so we
had to rush her to the hospital, and then wait for a plastic surgeon
to do the stitching.
They fired "The Shot", Like
It Or Not
They cleaned and disinfected the opening, which was just the skin
layer. Then they informed us they were going to give her a tetanus
shot. We explained it was "against our beliefs"
and they backed up a step ...until a doctor started asking me
questions about our "church." He pushed until I finally
felt compelled to explain that it wasn't our "religious"
beliefs, but the type of medicine we followed--naturopathy, which
he knew nothing about and later refereed to as "cult medicine."
That's when it hit the fan and all hell broke loose!
To make matters worse, there were speakers all
over the hospital transmitting the news that two people in San
Antonio were down at the time with tetanus. It came out later
that one or both had been vaccinated, and one of them developed
lockjaw with no discernible cause--no external injury whatsoever,
but that didn't help us at the time.
The next thing I knew, I was surrounded by a
room full of people in white coats--they slunk in like albino
hyenas and were just suddenly there it seemed, circling, attacking
me from all sides about how I was risking my child's life by not
allowing them to vaccinate her. I'm still not sure how it happened,
but they were in my face and injecting her at the same time.

age 5, final stage of recovery from the flesh-eating Strept
A + Staph infection |
Fevers, Screaming Syndrome, and Skin
Sores
That same evening, my child who had never had a childhood illness
or even a cold or infected cut or scratch became very ill with
a fever. Then the screaming started. Then the sores came on. The
first blister popped out on the instep of her foot and looked
like half of a striped green grape pushing through the skin. The
pain was so unbearable we had to carry her screaming to the bathroom
because she couldn't walk. I knew immediately that she was having
a vaccine reaction. I knew just enough to recognize the symptoms
that began with intermittent fever, the crying, "high-pitched
cry" in babies or "screaming syndrome" in older
children and skin sores were long known as the best-documented
sequelae of vaccination on record. No way was I going to take
her back to the hospital that forced this on her, so we were alone.
Blisters Become Rotting Flesh
Michelle broke out with a dozen blisters that opened up into necrotic
abscesses in varying sizes. The sores spread out and became black,
thickly crusted lesions at first, but changed in appearance over
the days. More frightening, they smelled like rotten, decaying
fish. After the first sore, I gave her a hydrotherapy
treatment, which took away the pain by the time the
treatment was over, and continued to give them, as well as making
her body more alkaline with fruits and vegetables, but the decaying
flesh smell terrified me, and the
following night I held her and railed at God, begged, pleaded
and bartered for my life to be taken instead of hers, as parents
have always done in times of crisis.
A single word came to me. VINEGAR. I then recalled that apple
cider vinegar is approximately the same pH as healthy skin (it
should have been diluted 3:1 with water, but I didn't know that
much) and immediately sponged Michelle with vinegar. The smell
of decay was gone overnight.
It became obvious within a short time that my
daughter's illness had quickly peaked and was getting better.
She still had spiking fevers every day, but for shorter periods
and lower temperatures. The high-pitched screaming episodes--something
would set her off and she would suddenly become uncontrollably
and inconsolably hysterical--lasted for over six months, but declined
in frequency. Vaccine poisons have an affinity for the outer covering
of nerves in the brain (myelin sheaths), which may explain many
of the mental symptoms and disorders that often follow vaccination.
Other than that, her terrible sores were slowly but visibly healing.

Recovery and Recriminations
When she looked better, about 10 days after the vaccination, I
finally took Michelle back to the hospital to show them their
handiwork and to demand a medical exemption from vaccinations
so there would be no repeat of what had just happened, and I could
get her into school.
These photos were taken near recovery, not in
the beginning when they looked far worse.
If I thought it hit the fan before, I was unprepared
for the reaction when they saw my daughter. "Freaked out"
best describes their reaction. We had gotten hold of Dr. Dick
back home, and had been following his directions, which started
out with, "Whatever you do, don't let them give her antibiotics."
His first response had been "Damn shots!"
Dangerous
Treatments
Of course, they immediately wanted to put Michelle
in the hospital and start a course of antibiotics.
In fact, they informed me in no uncertain terms that SHE
WOULD DIE without antibiotics. No two ways about
it. Good thing I had already been in contact with my own doctor.
I was reminded of meeting one of Dr. Dick's former
patients in the waiting room while going for my own treatments.
This is hard to believe in this day and age, but the woman had
come to Dr. Dick with an unusual infection that he sent to a medical
lab to have cultured. She had Bubonic Plague.
(I believe she had been bitten by a rat.) The health authorities
panicked and sent him antibiotics to use on her, which he tossed
out. He treated her his own way. She survived. He found out
later she was one of 8 people who contracted the plague in Spokane
during a certain period...and the only one who survived.
Antibiotics have an occasional beneficial use
in a case of severe, acute, life-threatening bacterial infection,
but devastate the immune system and often just suppress infections
without healing them, as well as creating "super bugs."
Bacteria are nature's "undertakers." They help break
down clean up diseased and dead cellular material, filth and toxic
materials in the body. Without bacteria, the floor of the earth
would be littered with dead bodies. Their function is to break
down and remove refuse. They don't exist in a place without reason,
and cause problems only in that as they consume dead or dying
materials, they at the same time excrete wastes that can be toxic
to us, as well as containing toxic elements in their own constructs.
The problem is that killing bacteria (bacterial are plant-like
structures, not "bugs") resembles "swatting flies
on a pile of manure" as Dr. Dick used to say. You can kill
the flies, but as long as the pile of manure is there, it will
breed more and continue to poison its environment. The problem
originates with the manure, not the flies, although during
this process bacteria can also pose a threat. Detoxify the body
properly and apply scientifically sound principles of first maintaining
health and then healing a sick body, and there will be no "fertile
soil" in which to breed more infection or disease. Also,
killing bacteria creates a second set of products when toxins
are released.
On The Run
They didn't even ask us, they
told us we either surrendered our daughter or they would contact
the legal authorities and have her taken away from us and we would
be off to jail. They sent for someone high up in pediatrics, who
breezed in, assumed we had been intimidated into submission, and
left to go get the room and treatment arranged. For a
moment we were then left alone in the treatment room. I grabbed
Shell's hand and we ran for it! The windowless hallways
acted like a maze, and in the panic we ran in circles, and actually
bumped right into the returning physician. I told him I was looking
for my husband, who stayed in a waiting room, and that we would
return with him. We finally found him and made a run for it out
of the hospital. We didn't dare go home where they would obviously
have the authorities waiting for us, so we drove around until
midnight until exhaustion, disgust, and rebellion finally took
it's toll and we went home.
Vaccination Condemned: The Book
As we neared the house, I saw a big package in the mailbox. It
was a copy of Vaccination Condemned, sent as a gift by
the author, along with a long letter of sympathy and suggestions.
I spent the rest of the night up reading--arming myself
with the kind of information that would have filled any caring
parent with such horror and fear that I knew instinctively that
most people would rather deny the facts than ever, ever accept
the possibility that such things existed in the world of medicine.
It left me shaken, but shored up with strength from some source.
I knew they would be coming for us soon, and I was ready.
They Come For Us: Police Escort
The police and a CPS agent arrived at 8:00am the next morning
and drove us to Wilford Hall at Lackland Air Force Base Hospital.
It was Saturday, but the head of pediatrics himself, Col.
Mark Danney, M.D., was coming in to meet with us, to culture
the sores and see what they were for certain.
What I haven't mentioned so far is that by the
time we were driven to the pediatric hospital, my husband and
I were both infected ourselves. We had been immune to illness
and infection for so long, the
thought of being "caught" by a dangerous communicable
infection hadn't even occurred to us. I was dressing Michelle's
sores when our cat grabbed Ted's toe from under the bed while
he was putting socks on, and he called me over to look at his
"wound." Without thinking, I went straight from a weeping
sore to an open scratch with my unwashed hands, just like in the
disastrous days of medicine before doctors knew to wash their
hands between patients. He became infected, and then spread it
to every scratch, insect bite, and hangnail on his body. We were
being eaten alive by texas-sized mosquitoes, so the bites were
a major problem. Ted and I both had around a dozen points of infection,
but our focus was on our daughter, and we saw that she was recovering,
so it wasn't a big concern.
Colonel
Mark Danney, MD
He explained that it was necessary to culture the infection to
identify it. He thought it might either be a Staph infection or
the far more deadly Strept A bacterial infection, but after talking
to him at great length about our background and what I was doing,
including much discussion about the mechanics of the immune system,
the effects of antibiotics, my contact with my own physician and
much information about the dangers of vaccination, the doctor
agreed that if the infection was "just Staph", he would
allow us to continue the home treatment without interference,
but if it was the more serious infection, he had to put Michelle
into the hospital for treatment, particularly since the state
authorities and police had been called in.
I could sense the good doctor's hesitation now--he
had found me more knowledgeable
than expected, and my daughter far less ill than she should have
been. In fact, she didn't seem ill at all now. She just had these
ugly crusted sores that were no longer even red and inflamed and
were obviously beginning to heal.
Memorial Day Weekend
That was at the beginning of an extended weekend for Memorial
Day. The lab techs were gone and then way behind in their work
so it took days for the results to come back. That was the longest
wait of my life. Meanwhile, I found out later that Col. Danney
had called Dr. Dick at home in Spokane and had several lengthy
conversations about the situation, and about medicine in general,
it turns out.
Before
we went back in to get the results, Michelle had one last fever,
and when it broke she seemed to be over the last of the most direct
effects of the infection. The sores started scabbing over normally
that same day, and she was so visibly on the mend that no one
could have disputed the fact.
It turned out we had the absolute worst-case
scenario--a combined infection--Staph
and Strept A, the flesh-eating bacteria that has
killed many people, including victims of vaccine poisoning who
have many times succumbed to or been disfigured by the work of
Strept A which evolves into Necrotising Fasciitis.
It was the worst situation both legally and
medically, now complicated by the fact that my daughter had inconsiderately
recovered in a matter of days with no medical intervention, and
no apparent complications from the infection doctors said would
kill her without antibiotics.
Col. Danney was in a predicament, because the
"wheels were already in motion" as he said,
and the state was just waiting along with us for the lab results
to come back. At the same time, he could see she was close to
a full recovery.
Drs. Danney and Dick
I asked him to cover for us long enough to get out of the state,
which he agreed to do--with relief, I think--as long as we promised
to go straight to Dr. Dick. Then he made an extraordinary admission.
He said I was the "best informed lay person he had ever
met" (I joked that he "needed to get out of the
hospital more often") and that because of his conversations
with Dr. Dick he "would be a better doctor."
He agreed that conventional medicine was and needed to be moving
in the direction of naturopathic medicine, but that "change
comes slowly". After days of slowly easing animosity,
we parted in peace.

We Flee The State In The Dark of Night
Then came the upheaval. Ted had to quit school, and later had
to pay back the tuition he had covered by a grant because he didn't
finish, we had to pack up in a rush, abandon furniture and everything
but necessities behind, and head for Washington State at night.
Dr. Dick saw Michelle, pronounced her quite well, and we tried
to go back to our lives--starting from scratch--which soon bottomed
out.
Ted became depressed over the ordeal and drank
heavily, ignored home treatment and what he needed to do. The
infection spread until he was in real trouble. He got arrested
and ordered into rehab. As a retired veteran (Coast Guard) he
had the option of going to the veteran's hospital, which he did,
only to be thrown immediately into isolation and forced to take
heavy antibiotic treatment. The infected tissues dried up, but
left knotty, gnarled tissue and a lung infection--probably a fungal
infection from the antibiotics. It took several years to resolve
all of this, including using escharotic
cancer salves, which somehow resulted in the tissues
softening up and feeling normal again.
A Family In Crisis and "Gutting
It Out"

Ted
had the worst health and suffered the most severe infection
in the family. Strangely, we each had 12 areas of infection
externally. His began with a cat scratch I infected accidentally
and moved on to mosquito bites, a hangnail, and spread from
there. One infected area involved his whole left leg which
swelled up to at least 1 1/2 times its normal size, another
covered most of his stomach and chest while he was being forcibly
treated medically. His overall health from the naturopathic
regimen may be what protected him from progression into necrotising
fasciitis. He was forced on antibiotics, which caused damage. |
We separated when Ted got out of the Vet's hospital--his
arrest involved "domestic violence"(a threat only) and
I was alone with my daughter for a long time, destitute, and had
no one to give me hydrotherapy,
so I had to resort to hot and cold showers, whatever food I could
afford to work on alkalizing my system, and just wait it out.
The pain was indescribable, but it passed in a couple of months
with nothing but water treatments and alkaline-forming foods which
make an inhospitable terrain for harmful bacteria, in fact, can
cause them to mutate into harmless microbes (according to research
done clear back in 1914 by a Dr. Rosenow who worked for what later
became the Mayo clinic). I wouldn't suggest anyone else "gut
it out" like that. It was a potentially life-threatening
infection and under different circumstances, I would have been
gratefully under my naturopathic doctor's care, but he was 200
miles away and I couldn't afford even the modest cost of his treatments
and certainly not housing.
As for Michelle, we were able to get her into
kindergarten in our little home town soon after returning to Washington
State, which allows personal exemptions...at least in those schools
in compliance with state law. However, many schools still try
to bully the parents and
threaten to deny attendance to an unvaccinated child regardless
of the law. We reconciled and moved to Spokane a year later, and
the school nurse went ballistic and said Michelle would be removed
from school in two weeks if not vaccinated by that time...in spite
of state law allowing personal exemptions from vaccination. We
had no resources, nor the heart to fight this, so she and I went
back home to Yakima Valley, while her father stayed on in technical
school, trying once again to complete a technical course without
some crisis getting in the way. (He didn't finish there either.
Something did come up.)
Later, when I started teaching part time, I had
a teenaged male student in class required to be in sight of an
attendant at all times because he was a convicted felony sex offender.
The irony struck me--we were forced to tolerate a dangerous and
potentially violent child molester in our midst, but my 5-year-old
child was denied an education in the state of Texas and in another
area of her own state because we chose not to be bullied ever
again into submitting to something that was against our beliefs
philosophically, medically, and spiritually even before we experienced
the kind of vaccine "injury" that can happen to anyone,
at any time.
12-25-03: The Next,
Better-Prepared Generation Slugs It Out
Now Michelle is back in Spokane with her own family, and her 4-year-old
daughter Sierra Laverty
has been denied access to numerous pre-schools because of her
unvaccinated status. "The state" got involved and have
threatened to turn her in to CPS (Child Protection Service) for
"child abuse" or whatever charge a hostile, uninformed
agent can come up with--one who thinks a licensed naturopathic
physician "isn't a 'real' doctor." She
canceled Christmas with us this year. They just moved to Spokane
and still have much to do, so they are cleaning and organizing
because they know CPS may be showing up and will certainly be
looking for any reason to take Sierra away from the family and
forcibly vaccinate her, which could kill her. Two years ago, Sierra
developed meningococcal disease of the brain and spinal cord and
almost died. The attending physician (medical) admitted that the
congestion in her lungs from a food allergy reaction (other relatives
ignored our instructions and fed her foods that she was intolerant
of) provided the breeding ground for the infection. I asked the
doctor to check her pH level (with a saliva strip--litmus paper),
and he looked at me like I was crazy. When I asked about checking
it myself, he couldn't even tell me where to get a pH strip in
the hospital, although he suggested that "maybe" the
department of urology might have something. I asked because I
knew that harmful bacteria can't live in a properly alkaline
internal environment (terrain), but the concept of "proper
acid/alkaline balance" --which affects every cell in the
body--was apparently unknown to him.

The Germ Theory of Disease vs Terrain
These kind of germs don't need to be "caught" from another
person. They are commonly present in many people, but need a toxic
"terrain" in which to feed and take on virulent characteristics
and fester. Even Louis Pasteur on his deathbed reportedly admitted
his error in the misguided "germ theory of disease"
(stolen and misinterpreted from Antoine Bechamp's work) and confessed
he understood that the terrain in which germs live are the deciding
factor of disease, not the mere presence of ubiquitous germs.
In this case with a life-threatening bacterial
infection and no time to consult with anyone else late at night
we agreed to immediate conventional medical treatment (with only
a moment of hesitation), which meant massive doses of antibiotics.
Unfortunately, antibiotics can leave a person with a severely
impaired immune system, which appears to be the case. Besides
having food allergies, which if injected directly into the bloodstream
by way of shots or IV solutions (some dextrose drips come from
potatoes, which she is severely allergic to) could do grievous
harm. Also, an immuno-compromised child should never be vaccinated
and even the vaccine package inserts warn against this. We are
working on raising her pH level and strengthening her immune system.
That will give her far better immunity to any and all disease
processes than her peer group. Vaccinations WEAKEN the immune
system by forcing antibody response to specific antigens, which
doesn't reliably confer immunity and statistically-speaking increases
the outbreak of the disease vaccinated against, and in the process,
severely over-taxes the overall defenses of the body.
Our Banned Baby Girl: Granddaughter
Sierra
So ...Sierra, who was using a computer at 2 and is beginning to
read and write at 4--is banned from most learning institutions
regardless of state law allowing her mother the right to choose
in the matter of vaccination. It's a paradox. If "they"
believe that vaccinations actually confer immunity
from disease (in spite of statistical evidence to the contrary),
what threat to others would an unvaccinated child be? If the child
got sick, supposedly the other children would have nothing to
fear. And if they were truly immune, why would they get sick and
pose a threat to the child? In fact, the measles and whooping
cough going around usually occur in vaccinated children, and such
has always been the case. The same with polio. Most if not all
American cases are now caused by the vaccine itself. In case of
an epidemic in the school, the law demands that the unvaccinated
child to be sent home until the epidemic has passed, but that
would leave only vaccinated children and why would there be an
epidemic among them, if they were immune? It appears no one thinks
these things out.
2004 update: The Lion
Roars Tonight--A Mother Protects Her Young
Michelle finally found a pre-school which agreed to take Sierra
in compliance with State law--a signed vaccination exemption form
(but they also wanted a note from her naturopathic physician).
This fall comes the real test--kindergarten. Will there or will
there not be a battle? --that's the question.

Also, Michelle handled the "hostile
case-worker" problem by going to the supervisor and threatening
legal action. The supervisor reviewed Michelle's record clear
back to childhood (how, I don't know) and found in her favor.
The caseworker was severely reprimanded and then replaced.
The answer seems very clear on the question of why there might
be an epidemic among vaccinated children. Vaccines
do not and have never
insured immunity from disease, from the very beginning.
A measurable antibody titer is not the same thing as proven immunity.
Go to http://www.vaclib.org/news/smallpoxalert.htm
for one of the best overviews of vaccine history on the internet
that I have found so far. But be prepared to be shocked and horrified
at how the people of this nation and the world at large have been
victimized and deceived by one of the most diabolical creations
of "revisionist" history ever contrived! Why? --inconceivably
immense profits, of course, along with an on-going plot to hide
liability and failure.
Vaccination: A Backwoods Superstition
The whole practice of modern vaccination is based on an ignorant
but profitable superstition that getting cowpox from a cow used
to protect milkmaids from smallpox. Cowpox was an infection often
caused by milkers with syphilis, and had no relationship to smallpox.
The first people vaccinated with coxpox repeatedly and experimentally
died young from vaccine-related tuberculosis, including smallpox
vaccinationist Edward Jenner's son. (Jenner claimed to be a physician,
but actually bought his "degree" from a medical paper
mill). Afterwards, the vaccine failed miserably to stop smallpox
and the incidence of smallpox increased dramatically within the
vaccinated population, as documented in many statistical tables,
books and reports written at the time, including Dr. Edgar Crookshank's
book, The History and Pathology of Vaccination, written
in the 1800's during the time of the British epidemics by a renowned
doctor/researcher.
Surveyors Know:
Improved Sanitation, Water Supplies, Waste Disposal and Food Handling
If you want the truth about how modern childhood diseases were
eradicated, ask any licensed surveyor. They know the development
of modern sanitation, sewage disposal systems, and distribution
of food and water--designed by surveyors and civil engineers--finally
brought an end to these and other so-called contagious "filth"
diseases.
All vaccines were developed
at the end of an epidemic of the targeted disease, after which
outbreaks of disease often increased--up to 3-400%
in some states which released their records according to government
sources as documented by Dr. Eleanor McBean--before they died
back down, as epidemics always do. Outbreaks after mass vaccination
campaigns occur primarily in vaccinated individuals, which is
verified by official records. Industrialized countries without
compulsory vaccination laws had far better results, according
to worldwide statistical information. Epidemics came, peaked,
and waned regardless of the vaccination status of any country,
except that compulsory vaccination appears to have increased the
incidence of disease immediately after mass vaccination programs,
and did nothing to hasten the end of epidemics world-wide. See
Graphs.
As old contagious childhood
diseases faded away under conditions of better sanitation, auto-immune
diseases, chronic-degenerative diseases, mental and emotional
disorders, cancer, learning and behavior disabilities, birth defects,
and a "Pandora's Box" of other "modern" afflictions
have taken their place simultaneously, but not coincidentally.

What Strept A Looks Like on Other People
The people in the following photos are
lucky to be alive and most are grateful to their doctors,
as well they should be since they had no other options.
We are the luckier ones who did have options. The
photos on this page below and the next one show the difference
between flesh-eating bacterial infections treated medically
and those treated with natural healing methods, at least
in the case of my daughter and I, and eventually my husband.
I believe his healthy diet saved him.
