Measles on Hysteria Street.
Hilary Butler - Friday, April 02, 2010
Yesterday, in the Far North, Dr Jonathan Jarman had high blood pressure because he feared that 28 cases of measles in the last two months, in pakeha homeschooling, alternative life stylers in Hokianga, could trigger measles cases and deaths left, right and centre. His advice to health workers was to bail up everyone unvaccinated, born after 1969, and shoot’em up with an MMR vaccine, and t...
The ignorance of vaccinologists
Hilary Butler - Saturday, December 05, 2009
What do scientists know about the flu vaccine? Not much really, in spite of it being used for years. This particular blog is not for the faint hearted.
Immunologists talk about antibodies created against the disease. Immunologists talk about “vaccine safety”. But they rarely talk about REALLY important things! One reason for that is that they don't understand that there are things they don't ...
Part 4 of 4 Offiteerers beliefs
Hilary Butler - Sunday, November 29, 2009
WE mothers are not the crème de la crème of society. WE did not go to medical school. WE are mere mothers, who can’t possibly understand all medical science. And WE know this, because they infer so, in their medical articles about us. And in lay-press articles, we hear patronising messages such as vaccines being just like “hard hats”, “seat belts” and “steel-capped boots”. Strange. NONE of thos...
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 ...
Part 1 of 4 Offiteerers’ remorse
Hilary Butler - Thursday, November 26, 2009
At a recent annual provaccine conference, it is reported that delegates expressed remorse at “strong arm” tactics. Could it be that the MenZB vaccination campaign, and the latest Gardasil efforts, have seriously backfired in their faces? People are sick of being emotionally blackmailed with drama-queen DVD’s about “How you will die if you don’t” or “Vaccination is the right thing to do, because...
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...
Indulgences
Hilary Butler - Sunday, November 15, 2009
History Buffs will know all about “indulgences”. To put it colloquially, this is where the Roman Catholic church said, “if you don’t give us money to pray for your dead relatives they will languish in purgatory for long periods before they get to Heaven’s gate.” I see, that the Roman Catholic church is revitalizing the “indulgences” doctrine.
Except of course, there is no such place as purgat...
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...
Follow the money
Hilary Butler - Friday, April 17, 2009
In a move worthy of a Monty Python Movie, Dr Jay Gordon has earned my hero award for the decade, for his two 2009 April fool’s press releases sent to a subscription only obscure list called Lactnet, for lactation consultants and doctor who support breastfeeding. Jay is a breastfeeding advocate and passionate about the WHO code, and ethical medicine. He and many of his colleagues are very unhapp...
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...
1 of 5 Whose world is in your head?
Hilary Butler - Saturday, November 08, 2008
Have you ever been told by a medical professional looking at your five week old baby, that you can’t take you baby out into that big bad world until the first shots have been given, because otherwise your child might die?
A new 2008 comment is the admonition that Prevnar is vital, because “it’s such a serious disease.”
So serious, that, as page 16 of this powerpoint shows, “Only a Handful of...
Mothers overcome fear with natural prozac
Hilary Butler - Monday, October 13, 2008
"Ah yes. Strange title. In fact, Hilary, you have altered it somewhat...." That I have. This stunner of an article in the Herald from Reuters had me shaking my head. We shouldn't be talking about mice: lets talk about mothers!
The article says: "Mice forced to swim endlessly until they surrendered and just floated, waiting to drown, could be conditioned to regain their will to live when a ton...
Film Review - "Orgasmic Birth"
Hilary Butler - Thursday, October 09, 2008
“Orgasmic Birth” is an awesome film, in the true sense of the word, talking to the deepest needs of women, at the gut, emotional, and intellectual level. In one sense, words fail me. The film follows home birthing parents growing and being reborn as different people, fulfilling their full potential of parenthood, and in particular womanhood. Interwoven are scenes of emotionally...
Sucking eggs - natural birth babies bond better
Hilary Butler - Saturday, September 06, 2008
" Bonding stronger if birth is natural". So read the heading on page A17 of the New Zealand Herald today. The article isn't available on the website because it originally came from the Independent.
Way back, even before some readers of this column were born, the majority of labouring mothers were falling under the "spell" of the medical profession which held what looked like a 'progressive' ne...
"Winning words"
Hilary Butler - Sunday, August 31, 2008
Today's Sunday Star Times, has a letter penned by Paul Rutherford, Karori, Wellington. It's tragic that Rutherford (hopefully) "believes" the words he actually penned; sobbingly sad that the Sunday Star Times printed them at all, and indicative of the appalling state of knowledge in the media today, when editors and journalists at the Sunday Star Times, can't see how off the mark the letter was...
Australian parents on the run
Hilary Butler - Sunday, August 24, 2008
Vaccination law in New South Wales, Australia is very clear. If a mother is hepatitis B surface antigen positive, the parents can be offered immunoglobulin and the vaccine for the baby, and if the parents say, "No", the paper work is completed and that's it. But that's not what happened in Australia this week. Dr David Isaacs, who was not even involved in the case to begin with, decided it was...
We firmly believe - Part 2
Hilary Butler - Tuesday, July 29, 2008
In the document we mentioned yesterday, was the comment that readers should feel free to reproduce, edit and distribute the information in any way they please.
We appreciate their transparency, and welcome the opportunity to post our own “Policy” statement on the issue.
Over time, we will bring to readers attention, medical information and analysis which we are confident will blow a who...
