On 6th March, 2013, Dr Huang was interviewed by Radio New Zealand. During this interview Dr Huang emphasised that influenza could be very very serious, and stated that "in Auckland 282 babies per 100,000, were hospitalised last year". 282 hospitalizations sounds BADDDDD doesn’t it. Serious. Nasty. Here’s the problem with Dr Huang’s data. She used a figure which woul...

How many people died from flu in Auckland in 2012?  According to Shivers data:.  A child could understand this stunning graphic, yet Chloe didn’t bother to use it.  Even a mug can see why she avoided this like the plague.  One death from Flu in Auckland doesn't sell papers - no drama, no story. I repeat:  Out of 9 deaths of Serious Acute Respiratory (SA...

A headline in PerthNow (Adelaide Advertiser) recently read, "Chief medical officer Paddy Phillips says it's time to end debate on jabs" Of course, to Professor Paddy Phillips vaccines are wonderful, safe, effective and anyone who suggests otherwise is misinformed and patently insane.  So he wants all the non-vaccinators to see sense and vaccinate their children.  That's his answer - d...

On the basis of only one  of my many previous posts on breast milk, you are all expecting me to clap my hands at New Zealand's first breast milk bank, and congratulate the team involved, right? Well, no. I'm not clapping my hands.  Here's why. From the article: To be spending $150,000 establishing a breast milk bank, and $50,000 - or a thousand dollars a week to run a b...

All around the country the mantra of 400 flu deaths a year has been parroted as the truth, when it’s not the truth. But medical documents are starting to reveal that even the medical profession knows that one day this will bite them on the backside. The more they are forced to put their facts on the internet, the more likely it is that someone will find that truth. Do you remember the...

The flu vaccine doesn’t work, and never has since that fact was first publicly outed in USA in 1971, and in 1972, there was a USA congressional hearing (S.3419) about it. It had been sold every year from 1940 through to 1975 with almost no potency and DBS (now the FDA) didn’t give a caber toss. However, as time passed, the public forgot. The vaccine manufacturers started...

The annual flu barrage has already started in our local paper Franklin County news with this little pearl: Before you read anything else, please flick through this presentation put together by the Cochrane Collaboration Influenza group (Yes, the last three slides bunk out, but the rest is good! This Cochrane powerpoint puts similar things in a different way... ), who believe th...

This was first published on November 15, 2010, and again on 30 July 2011, but it needs to be aired again, and again, and again.....  I've uploaded the medical articles and embedded them, and updated it.  This updation is inspired by the wet-behind-the-ears July 2011 announcement from Wellington experts, that paracetamol shouldn't be used in the treatment of fever during influenza, as ...

First, I have a question. Did anyone hear about the September 2012 case of Tetanus in the media?  Thought not. Funny that. Wonder why not? .................Might it be that the person concerned was vaccinated? Shhhh….. Normally I would stay silent on the topic of a child suffering as a result of parents. However, the decision by this child’s parents to go public ...

It was only a matter of time that Starship should once against indulge in drama creation and statistics inflation on the front page of the Herald. The last time was 1998, but more on that later. This time, presumably with the agreement of a health professional parent, the Herald  (PDF) decided to tell the story of a child with tetanus, and then reported Dr Shepherd from Starship s...

On 24th October Fox News announced that Dr Michael Chez had begun an FDA approved trial of 30 children (using cord blood commercially stored by their parents) who were subsequently diagnosed with Autism. Dr Chez wants to see if the children’s own stem cells will reverse the autism, and has “high hopes” that the stem cells will do this. The children have no genetic marke...

Hey there, Dr Mark Reeves. I read your opinion in the Nelson Mail on Stuff.co.nz today. Anti-vaccinators Immune to reason? (PDF here) Are you open to "discussion"? You say, "The fear-mongering and negative publicity caused immunisation coverage to drop to only 30 per cent in the UK in 1975. There were 200,000 extra notifications in the UK over the next 15 years, and many possibly preven...

Part One is here.... While the mainstream media is crawling all over the meningitis outbreak stemming from fungus contaminated steroidal injections, and blame is focused on lack of regulation controlling small compounding pharmacies, the medical system chooses to ignore bigger issues than their current simplistic red herrings. The issue which should be being discussed, is the difference betwe...

Since May 2012, the CDC has been investigating a meningitis outbreak, seemingly caused by contamination by Aspergillus and Exserohilum spores in injectable steroids and other drugs made at a compounding pharmacy, …a point that’s being emphasised by risk management departments worldwide. More on that later. There are some serious issues at stake here, the first being why common, c...

Genes, or not genes? On October 7th, the Sunday Star Times published an article about how obese pregnant mothers should be targeted, because their eating habits passed down to babies, a four times higher risk of diabetes. WE are told that today, three in 100 mothers has gestations diabetes, but that in 10 years time, it will be 25 in 100. What an amazing crystal ball they have. Or perhap...

A long time ago - 2007 to be precise, the first medical article was published showing that breast milk contained stem cells. Perhaps the mainstream media didn't know what to do with this information. After all, most discussion is about the use of stem cells from aborted foetuses, for trying to correct disease, or  parents who stored their child's cord blood, then want to use it t...

It is time the discussion about breast milk changed to fact, not denial. Yes, there should be labels on formula, just as there are labels on cigarettes. But if formula feeding parents really mean business in terms of accepting that breast is best, then they should be campaigning for a nationwide breast milk bank. It is also important that people like Lisa Watson, understand a wee bit of his...

Recently, my husband took himself down for the mandatory two-yearly doctor’s appointment which certifies octogenarians as being roadworthy. For a few days before hand there was a bit of muttering, but finally he succumbed to the system’s dictates, stuck his nose in the air, jogged down the road, and presenting his suntanned celery-stalks of legs and white mop of wisdom at ...

Following on from the medieval war of words on measles......., lies, emotional blackmail, weasel words and chameleon science is also being purveyed in the whooping cough battle. Starting with the most obvious, is Vaccinet’s trumpeting headline about a Washington whooping cough outbreak recently that: "Anti-vaccine movement causes the worst whooping cough epidemic in ...
