Part 3 of 4 Offiteerers’ cognitive dissonance
Hilary Butler - Saturday, November 28, 2009
If provaccine people saw that there were barking up the wrong tree, and acted on it, they would immediately be isolated from their peers as if they were some virulent plague. Their revered “experts” who are pretty much the only social group they have known for years, would all look at them, point the finger and shout, “TRAITOR”.
The "turncoat" would lose all their friends (and income) in o...
Part 2 of 4 Offiteerers’ passion
Hilary Butler - Friday, November 27, 2009
A recent abridged email provides another piece to the jigsaw puzzle:
This person was talking about being “called into the manager's office and informed that I was now an Immunisation Co-ordinator, a joint role I shared for about 18months. I have been in the position of seeing and hearing both sides of the immunisation debate. I attended one of the Immunisation Conferences a few years ago, and ...
Unskeptical skeptics
Hilary Butler - Friday, November 20, 2009
Over the last few years, there has been an unprecedented attack on anything loosely described as “alternative” medicine, by those who call themselves skeptics.
A recent event amused me. An acquaintance of mine, who in the same breath says he’s a greenie who believes in science, also revealed he had cancer. He props up the pharma companies handsomely, but he can afford to.
Taking him at his w...
Polypill and indulgences
Hilary Butler - Tuesday, November 17, 2009
Did you see this gem of a programme?. The worried well are killing themselves by shelling out lots of money on vitamins. Vitamins cause more deaths than second hand smoking. Never mind that the data is pure bunk. What did you think? Scared witless now? The “truth” of this matter couldn’t be funnier. Or sicker, depending on what meaning you put to the term “sick joke”.
But how many people woul...
More indulgences
Hilary Butler - Monday, November 16, 2009
Medicine has it’s own share of “indulgences” too, which most people don’t think about. Wouldn’t you think that modern medicine in all it’s TV swept up glory could have found a “cure” for the common cold by 2009? After all, it “knows” so much. It knows that a cure for a cold would make redundant billions of dollars in sales for the useless over the counter drugs alleged to ease the agony of a co...
A message to the gullible
Hilary Butler - Thursday, October 01, 2009
Vaccines protect. Vaccines are safe. Vaccines never cause harm. Vaccines save lives. Got that? You stupid people who think that vaccines are to blame for everything under the sun, need to get a life. When are you going to get it through your heads that the cervical cancer vaccine did NOT kill that UK girl??! Vaccines can’t do that! The autopsy was quite clear. This girl had a malignant tumo...
Bodily Matters
Hilary Butler - Sunday, August 30, 2009
"Bodily Matters” by Nadja Burbach.
First, a background to my review:
20 years ago, my then GP, whose thesis was on smallpox, expressed surprise that I could have accepted without investigation, the medical dogma which stated that the smallpox vaccine saved the world from much misery, and vanquished Smallpox. Like most people today, I’d absorbed the “stories” from school and thought no further...
More Swine flu porkies
Hilary Butler - Saturday, June 13, 2009
Is the whole of New Zealand gormless? No, but Dr Darren Hunt's face peers out from a box on page three of the Sunday Star Times today, telling us that the problem with swine flu is that no-one in the community has any immunity to it, therefore it will infect far more people than normal flu, and we can't have 20 - 50% of people sick with swine flu, as well as ordinary flu, can we? "That's why we...
Mandatory Vaccination
Hilary Butler - Wednesday, June 10, 2009
Making vaccines compulsory, isn't something you hear much about in New Zealand media, BUT... if we aren't careful, mandatory vaccination will become law in this country. While those who tweak the strings around the wrists of politicians have kept very quiet in public, in private, there have been, and are, far more intense discussions going on about making vaccines mandatory, than ever before. H...
Swinish Shock Doctrine: Part One
Hilary Butler - Sunday, May 03, 2009
Two weeks ago, when CDC, po-faced told us, that this “new” virus, never seen before in pigs…, was a combo of Eurasian/America swine flu/avian/human viruses, you believed them, right? Now, they are back tracking, saying, “No no,no.. only pig. Not human or bird.” Shhh…..
What changed their minds between the first time they checked the genetics and two days ago? I don’t see anyone in the media q...
Medical insanity
Hilary Butler - Tuesday, April 28, 2009
We have very strange habits. Like: refusing to wait in doctor's waiting rooms, unless we're the first there in the morning. Refusing to take our patently infectious sick children into waiting rooms, or doctor's surgeries and wait there. "What???" I hear you screech. "How irresponsible is that???" Quite the contrary. The current medical system which encourages sick people to sit in their wai...
When Swine Flu isn't swine flu
Hilary Butler - Monday, April 27, 2009
Here we go again. Another media beat up. Make a huge story out of... what??? An influenza virus which has caused thousands of cases, which in that horribly polluted smoggy lung coughing place called Mexico City, has caused serious pneumonia in some of them, which killed just over 100 of them. Some thousands of cases you say? Maybe. Cruising all the medical reports, it's pretty obvious that t...
More Mercky Maths
Hilary Butler - Monday, April 06, 2009
According to IMAC “In New Zealand cervical cancer is the third most common cause of cancer in women aged 25 - 44 years.” As usual, no reference. (pdf of IMAC page uplifted here, see page one) Really. That’s very interesting, because the Auckland District Health Board’s March 2009 4 mb “Nova” Newsletter says differently. (1st 4 pages uplifted here, because they remove it when the next one come...
The Murky side of Merck
Hilary Butler - Sunday, April 05, 2009
The writing of hitlists is something most people associate with gangs, criminals and the Mafia. So perhaps it will come as a surprise to read of a trial in Australia about a hit list of the names of doctors who spoke out against a drug called Vioxx. This particular list was not made up by Gambino Mafia, but by white collar pushers and shovers at ... Merck. it's common knowledge that Merck is r...
It takes three
Hilary Butler - Thursday, April 02, 2009
Shall we analyse it? Underlined, are … to me … the key fishhooks:
Title. “One thing you can protect them from” Note the word CAN.
Implied message: “We are calling YOU, and if you love your daughter, you will protect them…..”
_______
First sentence. “You can’t protect them from everything, but you can help protect them from cervical cancer.” Note the addition of the word HELP, which modifi...
Don't come crying!
Hilary Butler - Monday, March 02, 2009
One of the societal tools used against those who chose not to vaccinate is the “don’t come crying” line.
This is best exemplified by Dunedin’s Dr Paul Trotman in his Sunday Star Times column (in the days when he was just ‘Dr Paul’ and no-one knew who he was) in which he said:
The Sunday Star Times printed a sanitised version of my reply, but naturally, I prefer the one I sent direct to ...
"One Less" selective thinking
Hilary Butler - Saturday, February 28, 2009
In the Escape section of Sunday Star Times, March 1, 2009, journalist Karen Tay, who admits to viewing beauty and skincare products as sacred miracle potions, was researching their true cost to her body, and the environment. “While researching this story, I learnt many unpleasant truths about my beauty products…”
She discovered that some cosmetics claiming to be natural were not necessarily so...
Letter to the Bunker
Hilary Butler - Tuesday, November 25, 2008
Such is life.
I couldn't answer the letter in November's Health Options fully, and my reply won't be published until February.
For those chafing at the bit to know what I would say, you will find it here:
Big Brother to police hospital handwashing?
Hilary Butler - Monday, November 24, 2008
Dr Robert Wachter runs a blog which is well worth adding to your regular reading list. His Bio shows that he’s well qualified to talk about many things, and does so with a degree of candidness you don’t see in this country. A recent blog which interested me was the possibility of putting cameras into hospitals to try to raise the inadequate hand washing amongst staff. It would appear that since...
