With a name like Campaign for Real Health, you can be certain we are interested only in real causes and real solutions without which “real health” is only a wish. In this regard, Doug Kaufmann of “Know the Cause” fame is a kindred spirit. We are pleased to introduce you to Doug and his work.
But first, we at this site are deeply skeptical of what might be considered dubious, or false causes and false solutions, such as the cholesterol myth, the vaccine “is always safe and is always the key to disease prevention” myth and the “sugar is OK but red meat is always bad” myth of conventional thinking, among many others This last one was driven home to me by an older lady friend of mine who had just completed standard medical breast cancer treatment. Her physician told her to stay away from red meat but that there would be no problem with her eating sugar. Such advice is truly ignorant of the benefits of properly raised, grass-finished beef, and the devastating consequences of introducing refined sugars into the body. Here’s a hint: the one — grass fed beef — is an omega 3-rich food that is good for inflammation while helping to boost the immune system and — as you will read below — can even kill fungi, while the other — sugar — helps cancer grow, increases arterial plaque, and dampens the immune system for hours after its ingestion. It also feeds fungus. Perfect segue, so let’s get on to Doug Kaufmann of “Know the Cause” his fungal theory of disease — and I believe, a genuine REAL step in the direction of REAL health.

This is just coming in. Jordan McFarland, 14, of Virginia, was hospitalized for several days after coming down with Guillain-Barre syndrome within hours of having received the vaccine.
There have been reports of six cases of Guillain-Barre syndrome since October 6 according to officials. And overall, the CDC reports some 1700 adverse reactions of which four percent were termed “serious”
Those who suffer ANY kind of adverse reaction may have no legal recourse because, as we reported earlier, the U.S. has ” immunized” pharmaceutical companies from liability lawsuits that result from any H1N1 vaccines.
What is Guillain-Barre syndrome? A detailed answer is here; in brief, it is a situation of paralysis resulting from an immune response to foreign antigens gone awry.
The boy in the story today is reportedly weak and struggling to walk. He faces weeks of physical therapy and the use of a walker.
We reported previously about shocking Swine Flu vaccine reactions.
Guillain-Barre syndrome shares a special connection with the 1976 Swine flu scare (and if you go here you will see that back in May of this year, “experts” were telling us this that any vaccine this year should present no risk of GBS — tell that to the boy in Virginia…). However, Swine Flu vaccines are not the only kind of vaccine that can bring on Guillain-Barre syndrome; it results from other types of vaccines, too, as you will see in the video below.

This is our introduction to a major new article which everyone should read before getting vaccinated.
http://www.theatlantic.com/doc/200911/brownlee-h1n1
Swine-Flew
Having read it, a physician friend of mine who referred to the article as “an extreme eye opener” offered the following analogy: “Trying to defend yourself from the flu by getting a vaccine is like trying to defend your house by firing a cannon at meteors. First, the meteor is unlikely to strike your house; second, you are unlikely to hit the meteor with your cannon; and third, even if you hit the meteor with the cannon, you may still be injured by the debris.” Real protection against influenza? When pigs fly…
“Does the Vaccine Matter?” is about both seasonal influenza vaccines in general, and the H1N1. vaccine Given its publication in The Atlantic, which is no hotbed of alternative medical thinking, one might conclude that a broader swath of people have begun to think twice about the supposed wisdom and efficacy vaccines. The article begins with a premise:
In the U.S., the main lines of defense are pharmaceutical—vaccines and antiviral drugs to limit the spread of flu and prevent people from dying from it. Yet now some flu experts are challenging the medical orthodoxy and arguing that for those most in need of protection, flu shots and antiviral drugs may provide little to none. So where does that leave us if a bad pandemic strikes? Read more...

Roby D. Mitchell, M.D. practices medicine at the Tahoma Clinic in Washington State. An expert in nutritional medicine and fitness, he specializes in hormone replacement therapy. His favorite quote is: “You’ll never medicate your way out of diseases you behave yourself into”. You can read about him here and see his CV here.
Dr. Mitchell recently wrote an extensive piece on the problems and risks of the swine flu vaccine for Doug Kaufmann’s Know the Cause Blog. He begins:
“Most people just get in line and roll up their sleeves; no questions asked. At the very least, they should read the package insert for the H1N1 vaccine. Actually, it should be a requirement that it be read and explained to them by a doctor or whomever administers the injection. This amounts to a free phase 4 trial for the drug companies. Normally, they would have to give informed consent, pay the victim, and be liable for damages for adverse outcomes. With this travesty, they have pushed through laws that indemnify them from any law suits. If you get Guillain-Barre or some other permanent neuropathy, tough cookies. Read more...

Our guest writer, Damien Downing, M.D., is president of the British Society for Allergy Environmental and Nutritional Medicine and editor of the Journal of Nutritional and Environmental Medicine. He is a member of the Orthomolecular Medicine News Service Editorial Review Board. He maintains a private practice in the UK focusing on nutritional and alternative therapies.
2009 may be the year of the vaccine show-down, the moment when enough of us start questioning all we’re being told about vaccines. A survey published in the BMJ in August ( http://www.bmj.com/cgi/content/abstract/339/aug25_2/b3391 ) reported that less than half of healthcare workers in Hong Kong were willing to accept “pre-pandemic” flu vaccination. And that was before a letter from the Health Protection Agency to 600 United Kingdom neurologists on July 29th warning them to be on the alert for an increase in cases of Guillain-Barre syndrome following the vaccination campaign.
If nurses and doctors start questioning vaccination for themselves, sooner or later we’ll have to advise patients to make their own minds up. They seem to be doing so anyway. A poll by Fox News ( http://www.foxnews.com/opinion/2009/08/26/think-greater-risk/ ) , often described as a right-wing channel, found that 51% thought taking the H1N1 vaccine carried a greater risk than not being vaccinated.

As if the overwhelming influence of BIG PHARMA on physicians in this country wasn’t bad enough, it seems a certain medical association has gone to bed with the worlds biggest soft drink company. It’s enough to make one sick.
It certainly made a few doctors angry, twenty in all, so much so they resigned from the American Academy of Family Physicians. Good for them! We would like to hear more from these doctors who obviously understand that soft drinks and medicine are opposites. Medicine, for all its problems, seeks to heal; soft drinks impart ill health, plain and simple.
In their resignation, the doctors sent a letter. You may read it here. In part, the letter states “As you undoubtedly know, Coca-Cola is the country’s and the world’s largest producer of the only food or beverage that has been demonstrated to promote overweight and obesity. Because of the kinds of products it markets, Coca-Cola Co. is desperate to burnish its soiled reputation…”
A news story on the resignations states: “The mass resignation was sparked by the AAFP’s decision to accept a “six-figure sum” from the beverage giant three weeks ago, which the organization said would help fund nutritional education content on its website.” Who, in their right mind, believes a soft drink company is interested in promoting nutrition? Absurd. The whole story is here. Read more...
