Dissolving Illusions: Disease, Vaccines, and The Forgotten H…

1480216895, Not too long ago, lethal infections were feared in the Western world. Since that time, many countries have undergone a transformation from disease cesspools to much safer, healthier habitats. Starting in the mid-1800s, there was a steady drop in deaths from all infectious diseases, decreasing to relatively minor levels by the early 1900s. The history of that transformation involves famine, poverty, filth, lost cures, eugenicist doctrine, individual freedoms versus state might, protests and arrests over vaccine refusal, and much more.Today, we are told that medical interventions increased…, 5,

Title: Integrity, Courage, and High Intelligence Characterize this Book
Review: Vaccines have long been considered to be one of the greatest medical innovations of all time. It’s common knowledge that vaccines greatly reduced or eliminated most infectious diseases that ravaged populations during the 19th century and into the first half of the 20th century… or so we are told.According to the authors of Dissolving Illusions, vaccines played a very minimal role in the reduction of infectious diseases. But why then would nearly everyone, including most medical doctors, be so much in favor of vaccines? Therein lies a fascinating story. Truth is, indeed, stranger than fiction!Author Dr. Suzanne Humphries was a very highly paid MD (as a kidney specialist) in a hospital, and for years was in synch with the hospital’s pro-vaccine agenda. But then she began see problems in some of her patients that seemed to be connected to their vaccines. Her attempts to do something about this were brushed off by the hospital authorities. This eventually led to her voluntary resignation in 2011. She spent the next few years doing full-time research of the scientific literature and on the history related to vaccines. She then began to teach the shocking truths she had discovered, bucking threats and being called a “quack” in the process.Coauthor Roman Dystrianyk is a father of three children. He had researched vaccines and tried unsuccessfully to convince his wife that they were unsafe. She was a nurse who sided with the medical authorities. She had their kids vaccinated with multiple shots all in one visit, without Roman’s knowledge. All three kids got sick and Roman found out what had happened. This led him to do much further research.It is apparent that money was a not a motivator for either Suzanne or Roman. (However, as we can see from other sources, money in the multi-billions is likely a motivator for the vaccine industry. And there is evidence of enormous conflicts-of-interest within and between Big Pharma, the CDC, FDA, and academia.)The formatting of this book is brilliant. Generally throughout we have a few paragraphs of authors’ commentary followed by a supportive brief excerpt from an authoritative source (all sources identified), a bit more commentary, another referenced excerpt etc. This makes for enjoyable easy reading and maximum comprehension. Photos and graphs are appropriately inserted.The book starts with an overview of what life was like in “The Not So Good Ol’ Days,” (1700s and 1800s). Life was much harder than many of us can imagine. Disease was common, life spans were shorter.Crude inoculations against Smallpox were used in the 1700s and through the 1800s. Death rates remained high despite periods of mandatory vaccination until sanitation measures began to be employed in the late 1800s. The Smallpox story is discussed in great detail.Most infectious diseases declined markedly in the late 1800s and especially during the early decades of the 1900s before vaccines had even been invented for most to them. This was due to vast improvements in sanitation, sewage systems, better water, plumbing, the gasoline engine enabling trucking and better transportation, electricity, better farming and nutrition, refrigeration, and higher standard of living.The polio story is especially intriguing. Pictures of people encased in iron lungs and kids wearing braces hooked people emotionally. (I was 12 years old in 1954 when the Salk Vaccine was announced and I still remember the jubilation in my school.) Eventually reports of vaccine success against polio were reported. But research of the facts reveals that this was due to fudging of statistics and changing disease definitions to give the appearance of success.A modern version of the iron lung is still with us which is called a ventilator. It is a much smaller and far less dramatic-looking device for treating cases of breathing paralysis stemming from “transverse myelitis” – which still occurs, and which results from many possible causes usually NOT related to the polio virus, but which would historically have been generalized as “polio.”Seventy pages of the book are devoted to the very complex and twisted story of the supposed “disappearance” of polio. The bottom line is that the wild polio virus itself was never as serious a threat as was assumed. Polio vaccines (Salk and Sabin) did much more harm than good for several reasons – the authors explain how so in detail. By the way, Franklin Roosevelt probably did not have polio, but Guilain-Bair syndrome (GBS).The story of vaccines against whooping cough (pertussis) is also involved and dramatic, as is the measles story, both of which are covered in detail.The authors explain why “herd immunity” for most diseases (if any) cannot be achieved through vaccinations no matter how high the percentage of people vaccinated. It is clear that vaccines in general are not nearly as effective as the authorities claim, and they are far more dangerous than is generally believed.The final chapter is on “Belief and Fear” – fear of disease leading to reliance on those considered to be knowledgeable authorities. Hopeful thinking along with big money have had much to do with the “authorities” becoming conditioned to believe the mythology of “safe and effective” vaccines. The effectiveness of the vaccine approach has long been greatly exaggerated, the science corrupted, and vaccine risk “continuously denied and underplayed.” We humans have the ability to deceive ourselves, especially when fear or money is involved.Dissolving Illusions is a wonderful tool for educating people on the truth regarding vaccines.

Title: Must read for all Docotors and Parents!
Review: Dr. Suzanne Humphries deserves an award for bringing the load of vaccine record and history to a finely orchestrated; and lengthy, book.The parent of 4 children, I had never questioned vaccines before 2 of our children had a severe reaction to their shots at a joint appointment in which my daughter received her Kindergarten shots and our son (then not yet 3) received the shots required between 18m-3years, which was the DTaP & Hep A.Our son had immediate symptoms he wasn’t well but I was pregnant with our 4th child and thought he was just being a normal attention seeking kid. He kept complaining, “my legs.” And wouldn’t Assist when I carried him out and looked zoned out. When I put him down to walk himself he flopped and said he couldn’t and I assumed he was just babying it.He slept for three days straight which I called Abbie worried and they said it was Normal and then began a zoned out period in which he also lost control of his bowels, wouldn’t talk, seemed confused when asked anything and began to wAil and whine at every response. At the same time our daughter began to have manic behavioral symptoms, everything touching her she was frantic, couldn’t explain her thoughts before loosing her point and becoming irrational and angry, lost control of her Bowels and began complaining of back and leg pain so much she’d wake in the night screaming it hurt.Her reactions merited a few visits to the ER; one 4 days after the vaccine, in which each time they reasoned her symptoms away as a flu like symptom and didn’t think she had meningitis because she lacked some of the symptoms. I mentioned she had the MMR vaccine 4 days prior, so how could she have meningitis and they didn’t really answer me. It made me curious so upon a follow up the next morning my doctor didn’t really answer my question either, so I asked for some papers to take home to read on it and the shots, since Our son was still in lethargic/sick mode after his and she was very animated about his symptoms being normal. So much so it was overkill and I wasn’t incinerating his was abnormal, (he hadn’t lost his bowels or began any other behavior aside fromSleeping and being generally quiet and zoned out yet at that point).We began reading packet inserts online and I was appalled to see how many adverse reactions there could be. We decided to ask our doc again for information so we could make a rational choice seeing how our 4th son was to be born very soon ( he was born 14 days after their reaction), and one nurse said they had a nurse who dealt strictly with vaccine and medicine questions she’d send in to talk to me, but no one came. The next nurse I asked to remind them to get her looked confused like she had no clue who I was talking about. When my doc came in I asked her and she didn’t confirm there was any nurse and said she had papers I could have. When she came back she said the papers were from a book she forgot she loaned to another patient and hadn’t gotten back, but wasn’t able to tell me the name of it.It was way to many weird situations for us not to thing there was something there. As each kid got worse visits became shorter and no one Brothered to suggest we test anything, they just said it was normal and it happens at the age our son was at. He has since been diagnosed with Autism.Luckily for our newest son he has never been vaccinated and truly is healthy. He hasn’t had ear infections, respiratory issues like our other 3 children had. We read all the way through his first year, saying to ourselves, “ we’ll keep reading a little more then we can always get his vaccines next month after we know everything and can feel comfortable”The more we read the more we had to read more and more, and time just flew by, the literature we read along the way deterring us from vaccinating each time. He is now a year and a half old and runs, jumps off things, says over 40 words and has no allergies.We are happy with our decision and continue to learn as we are recovering our son from Autism with great success using diet, Dr Andy Cutlers Chelation Therapy Protocol and boosting his immune system so far and still weighing opinions for our daughter, who is still being looked at for issues that arose. So far she’s diagnosed with Emotional Disturbance Disorder, has a lot of set backs in her abilities in reading, so much so she’s in the lowest group now in school despite our nightly practice and teachers support. She has had several MRI’s, one of which we were refered to a neurosurgeon to correct nerve damage in her spine from the vaccine; although no one will admit it’s from the vaccine, not on paper anyways. It’s infuriating.Parents should all be informed of their doctors education on vaccine ingredients, reactions, law and vaccine approval processes.If they choose to vaccinate that is their choice, just like it is ours to no longer.Free from bullying, free from judgement, free from ignorance.Attached are images of some of the many books I’ve read that you may also find enjoyable. Emords book is extremely detailed, depressing in explaining specific laws and cases by which they were governed and very eloquent.

Review: Packed with Excellent Research Results.For example, here is one golden nugget from the book: having greatly benefitted from regular uncooked alkalizing vegetable juice I was pleased to find pages on Dr. Russell and the Gerson Institute etc. Dr. Russell cured 55 out of 55 patients with Fresh Juice and then published a book about this in 1906. With all due respect, has your doctor heard about this yet?Did you know that the Orangutan teach their young how to heal themselves with over a 1000 plants that include many with anti-inflammatory properties (according to a recent documentary), while we, for the greater part, do not? They are just plum old fashioned, and using a primary very effective technique.Facts, followed by results, before opinions, and a great place to start or develop, is this very rewarding book.

Review: This book is a fantastic look at many of the deadly diseases from the 1800’s and on, and how big of a difference sanitation and nutrition made in mortality from those diseases. Dr. Humphreys points out that in med School they learned about the diseases that sanitation etc reduced and eliminated (typhoid, cholera etc) and the disease that sanitation and nutrition reduced but that there was a vaccine for, and how even when nutrition and sanitation played a pivotal role (and vaccines did little or in some cases made things worse) they are still categorized as vaccine defeated illnesses. There is some great information, data charts and a lot of insight. It’s a big read but so worth it to get a bigger picture of our infectious diseases & our health, and how many components are ignored because we live in such a clean society compared to the days when refuse & carcasses littered the streets and air & food quality were appalling, along with deplorable working condition (for children especially). We don’t think about just how much those details affect our immune systems, and taking the time to realize that a supported immune system does an amazing job against a host of illnesses. This is such important reading for anyone concerned about mandated medical treatment or about whether or not the risk benefit ratio of vaccines is as straightforward as the current (western) medical establishment so glibbly states. Many other countries are more reticent about accepting as many vaccines as quickly, and without as much study and testing, as any other drug… Worth a read for any parent, doctor, or anyone wondering what the deal is with diseases and their history.

Review: I just want to express my sincere and infinite gratitude to the authors for the masses of information they processed. I will not lie, it was not easy to read this book. I had to digest how much hypocrisy we are having, and even burst into tears several times, understanding that history is repeating, and people nowadays are learning the same lessons our ancestors didn’t learn. In a nutshell, if you have no time to study the topic of vaccination in general, this is a must read book, which will cover all aspects. Thank you, authors, for your time, efforts, and your courage!
