Comment on When Courage and Conscience Collide by Shannon

Shannon — Tue, 03 Nov 2009 21:17:04 +0000

Robyn,
I know how hard it must’ve been to “say your words” in the light of other’s preference not to look. A family member of mine is an alcoholic, and when I told her (while she had too much to drink, a mistake, I know) that I was not willing to pretend that she didn’t get drunk most nights, she responded, almost like a child, “But I WANT to pretend!!”

We want to pretend: that our government always cares for its citizens, that things like Nazi Germany can’t ever happen anywhere again, that when we’re harmed it’s a result of accident and not deceit or willful neglect, that we need a massive military to keep us safe (defense contractors? what defense contractors?).

It takes courage to question these assumptions, and so much more so to go public and risk ridicule (and worse). GroupThink is very hard to overcome, hard to recognize when we’re doing it, taking part in it. And intelligence hardly matters. Many, many intelligent people are caught up in the perpetuation of an unhealthy system, because their comfort depends on it. As Sinclair Lewis famously declared, “If a man’s lunch depends on his not understanding something, he won’t be able to understand it.”

In this context, I recommend to you and your readers this thought-provoking documentary about a courageous Canadian minister who has risked all to tell the truth about what was taking place in his church:

Comment on What’s in that H1N1 Vaccine & What You Can Do About It by Heather

Well i have a 9 month old son, im very worried about him getting that shot because since they havent even properly tested it, what are the risks going to be in the future for the people who already got it? It is infused with another virus, they give you some of the h1n1 flu virus in it too, like its not hard to see that i am NOT getting this shot for my son, some people will not agree but i feel no trust in the vaccine. There were also other rumors about a cancer gene in the vaccination. I’m not risking my life nor my son’s. I mean, when i first heard of it i was like “Yeah my son needs it” But after hearing all these rumors on the news and how the government didnt properly even test it, im not getting it for my son. He eats healthy, i bathe him every single day, i make sure if anyone holds him that they rub hand sanitizer on their hands. I am not getting it either, im very healthy and i always make sure im clean, i even bought Lysol!!
I’m very confident in my sons health. And i do not need that vaccine for me nor him.

I absolutely appreciated the timing of this e-mail. I have 2 children that I consider vaccine injured and have stopped vaccinations since my one son was 2 and the other 4 months. They are now 3 and 5 and very healthy. They have good nutrition, excellent handwashing and sleep habits. I highly rely on all of this to keep our family healthy. I was almost scared into thinking that I needed to vaccinate them against the flu and swine flu to prevent something horrible, but after reading your quotes from Dr. Sears I have my confidence back that I know I’m making the right choice by my children, short term and long term health.

Thank you so much for listing the additional ingredients. My daughter is severely allergic to corn – it will still take a while to find out if she can have it because the research takes a while. Corn is something I worry about with medicines and childhood vaccines as well. I’ll have to check the book out!

I am so grateful to have heard Robin on XM over the Summer! I feel more informed than many people that I know and have passed this article on to many of my mom friends. I chose to vaccinate my 2 1/2 year old because I have a 4 month old baby. My husband has been vaccinated as well. I am nursing, so that is not the best option for me at this time. I love Robin’s book and encourage everyone to read it, for our children’s health as well as our own.

Thank you so much for this information. I am so grateful to AllergyKids, but yet so disheartened that I can’t even get this kind of basic information from my own pediatrician.

While I do not suffer from allergies, I have used the this resource for my clients. THere has been quite a bit of useful information that I have been able to pass onto my clients. THere have been ideas about hyperactivity and various other reactions that can occur due to ingredients in foods consumed.

Thank you so much for thinking outside of the box rather than just going the medicine route. I appreciate all of your words, ideas and insights.

Thank you Thank you Thank you
