Balm of Gilead

Posted by James Ong

I have just read a short paper on why you should not get the flu shot, written by Dr. Joseph Mercola, who runs the world’s most popular website on natural health, visted by millions of people every day.  Much of what he says in the paper applies to the H1N1 vaccine as well.

Together with Barbara Loe Fisher, founder and president of the National Vaccine Information Center (USA), Dr. Mercola hosted an audio presentation on the H1N1 flu hoax.  I strongly urge everyone to listen to it and learn why there is no compelling reason to fear the H1N1 influenza or get the vaccine:

He has just launched a website specifically to warn people about the H1N1 flu vaccine and post updates on this crisis:

Dr. Mercola is a Christian and osteopathic doctor.  Although he suggests yoga and meditation as ways to reduce stress, I would advise Christians to explore alternatives such as Pilates, exercise and Christian meditation as effective stress management techniques instead.

Finally, for this post, here are two Powerpoint/Flash slide presentations (with audio) from Neil Z. Miller, founder and president of ThinkTwice Global Vaccine Institute:

On the link between vaccination and autism:  http://www.thinktwice.com/aut_show.htm.

The bottom line is this:  vaccines are not safe.  They are medical procedures that carry risks of injury.  Hence, we need to make an informed choice whether the benefits of the vaccine outweigh the risks.
