The Poisoned Needle: Suppressed Facts about Vaccination Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I'm taking the liberty of quoting Robert B. Edge:

The CDC openly admits that only 10% of all vaccine adverse affects are reported. Of the ones reported most are discounted because of the criteria used to define an adverse event. Most of the data collected on these adverse events is buried under bureaucratic control. How do I know this? My son was one of those adverse events. He nearly died due to a bad or hot lot vaccine. When it was branded as a hot lot the FDA refused to put it on the recall list because it would cost the pharmaceutical company money to recall it. In the ensuing law suit we had to go into federal court and sue the Department of Health and Human Resources to get them to provide documents that they are already required by law to provide. Every time we have found an expert witness to testify they have been bought off by the pharmaceutical industry. Now if vaccines are so safe why all the cover-up? Ms. Mcbean asks some very valid questions and makes some brilliant observations. Because her "facts" don't jive with the accepted beliefs doesn't mean that they are false. The risk of vaccine damage to your child seems small until the damage is done. Then it is 100%! The conclusion that I have come to is the vaccines are all about money. The truth has been kept from the public so an informed decision can't be made easily. A little digging into how drugs are approved makes it quite plain that the drug companies write the rules to their own benefit and the patient be damned. It is all about money. It more parents read this book before vaccinating there would be fewer vaccines sold and that's a fact!

Product Description:
This is the Classic Anti-Vaccination Bible!Eleanor McBean - an Anti-Vaccination activist, researcher and author, created one of the best sources for truth on the Vaccination issue.Cold hard facts and many studies, examples, charts, photos and proofs are included in this very important work."Physicians have been looking in the wrong direction for the cure of disease. The cause of disease is stubbornly ignored and the seeds for more disease are sown with the use of vaccination. This infusion of poison into the masses only serves to intensify the disease in some cases, suppress the symptoms in others, and create new and more serious disease. Thus, the simple diseases of the past have devolved into the horrors of the present-our terrifying and expanding crop of "killer diseases". Eleanor McBean has accumulated compelling evidence regarding the vaccination of the masses, the role of politics and profit, and reasons we should reject The Poisoned Needle.

Memory and Emotion: The Making of Lasting Memories Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)One of the faculties of mind that is extremely puzzling is our capacity to remember.Jane Austen knew this.In _Mansfield Park_, she wrote, "If any one faculty of our nature may be called more wonderful than the rest, I do think it is memory...We are, to be sure, a miracle every way; but our powers of recollecting and of forgetting do seem peculiarly past finding out."Past finding out two hundred years ago, yes, and not nearly fully found out now, but memory is gradually yielding its secrets.James L. McGaugh is the director of the Center for the Neurobiology of Learning and Memory at the University of California, and he has written a primer, _Memory and Emotion: The Making of Lasting Memories_ (Columbia University Press), which is a fine summary of how some of the mysteries of memory are being tackled.He has written "for a general readership" (the book is in the "Maps of the Mind" series), but the subject will be a foreign one for most readers, and there are pithy pages that his general readers may have to struggle through.For the most part, though, McGaugh tells good anecdotes and admirably makes clear some of the most hidden of mental processes, and the explanations help us wonder anew at the remarkable capacities that every one of us takes for granted.
It is certainly a field in which people are interested.There are plenty of books with titles like _Boost Your Memory Now_, and the health stores do a fine business in herbal treatments that are supposed to make our memories better, with little evidence they work.There may be drugs that improve specific memories, however, or decrease their consolidation.Much of the research has been done on rats; evolutionarily, their brains wound up much like ours, just smaller and less complex.Rats can be trained to do such memory-requiring tasks as maze-running and then can be fiddled with in ways that humans cannot.Such drugs as strychnine, a central nervous system stimulant, can be given immediately _after_ maze training (that is, after all the learning exercise has been done), and the rats remember better what they learned during the training.Giving the strychnine hours after the training does nothing; the brains must have a consolidation phase during which the memory is laid down.Other experiments show that a drug like propranolol, used to lower blood pressure because it counteracts the body's store of epinephrine (also known as adrenaline), can counteract epinephrine's capacity to help consolidate memories.Giving propranolol after an emotional memory test blocks the enhancement boost that emotion gives to memory.This is not an academic exercise.Emergency room victims of trauma, if given propranolol, are less likely to have symptoms of post-traumatic stress disorder.
In such ways is memory yielding its secrets.In his review, McGaugh quite rightly refers to the important work of Susan Loftus that shows that false memories can be implanted, especially in children.If you go to a family reunion, it does not take long to learn that some people remember important events one way, and others another contradictory way, but the memories are really there, false or not.Implanting such seemingly real memories is the way that bogus therapists convince their patients that, say, they have received Satanic abuse as children.Eyewitness testimony has been shown to be terribly fallible, now that we have video cameras and DNA testing.But McGaugh and others have been able to discover some secrets about how generally reliable a servant memory is and how it is able to do its job.His volume allows us the pleasing exercise of picking up from a leader in the field just how much research has been accomplished, and of catching a bit of his enthusiasm for his work.

Vaccine Safety Manual for Concerned Families and Health Practitioners, 2nd Edition: Guide to Immunization Risks and Protection Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This book was written by Neil Miller, the author of the classic Vaccines: Are they really safe and effective? This book is more up to date, as many new vaccines have been introduced which were not covered in his earlier work.

It has a chapter on every major vaccine that addresses:
*What the disease is
*How it is contracted
*How it is treated
*The history of the vaccine
*Research regarding the vaccine's effectiveness
*Research on the vaccine's safety

He has a chapter on autism that is 60 pages long that contains charts that shows the dramatic increase in autism after the introduction of the MMR vaccine. His charts are one of my favorite aspects of his books because they make the statistics so much more powerful when you can see them illustrated visually, and he includes over 90 in this book. The autism chapter has congressional testimony given by parents of vaccine injured children that will make any parent want to do more homework on the subject prior to vaccinating. He also goes through the studies that claim there is no link between the MMR and autism. I found this particularly helpful, because I'd heard of such studies, but never knew the details. He presents a response to both studies by Dr. Andrew Wakefield. He also has a paragraph on the Homestead Health Services, which is an alternative medical facility in Chicago. The children in the practice aren't vaccinated, and of the 30,000 children they've treated, they've never seen one with autism.

One of the most disturbing themes that I saw throughout the book is that children who get a vaccine are more likely to develop a more serious case of the disease than the unvaccinated. I didn't like the fact that he used vaccine and immunization interchangeably. While a vaccine may confer clinical immunity by creating antibodies, it does not necessarily give the person immunity to the disease.

At 467 pages long, this is an excellent reference book, but it's not one you will blow through in a day. This is a book that I will recommend to my peers. If you are new to the subject, you may want to start with his previous book, Vaccines: Are They Really Safe and Effective as it is shorter and probably less intimidating, then refer to this book for a discussion on the newer vaccines such as the hepatitis A vaccine.

If you are interested in the vaccine debate, I also recommend Vaccines:What CDC Documents and Science Reveal. It is an excellent DVD created by a mainstream ER doctor who stumbled across the vaccine debate, and became obsessed with it. I like it because there are some people who simply won't take the time to read a book on vaccines, but they will watch a DVD. Hopefully, you will do both.
