Alternatives to Vaccination

In 2004, a groundbreaking study in the journal Pediatrics compared use of cough syrups containing either dextromethorphan or diphenhydramine with a placebo syrup containing neither of these. The study determined that the placebo, which was essentially just flavoured water, reduced coughing better than the two syrups which contained the chemicals. If flavoured water works so well, perhaps water alone would work even better.
Sugar, the one ingredient common to all cough syrups, greatly reduces immunity. On the other hand, in moderate amounts, sweet vegetables and fruits contain nutrients which can boost immunity. So do all unprocessed foods (ie foods which have not been tampered with by man). However, in times of stress and exposure to infections, even for those who follow healthy lifestyle practices, it may be wise to bolster immunity by using supplements, herbs and immune-stimulating therapies.

• Zinc, diarrhea, and pneumonia – Journal of Pediatrics 1999 – “In conclusion, the largest historical decrease in morbidity and mortality caused by infectious disease was experienced not with the modern antibiotic and vaccine era, but after the introduction of clean water and effective sewer systems. The enormous appeal of correcting zinc deficiency is that in normalizing the function of cells in multiple tissues, it enhances the child’s ability to combat disease states and not just single infectious organisms. Thus, on a worldwide public health level, it is likely to be more economically feasible than vaccines directed against specific organisms.”
