HISTORY OF
VACCINES, PART ONE
The use of a
specific disease material for the prevention of
disease has a very long history. The ancient Chinese used a preparation
of dried small pox scabs that were preserved for one year and then
administered as a snuff for the prevention of small pox. For the
prevention of rabies Hippocrates stated, "There is under the tongue of
the rabid dog a slime formed by its saliva, which taken in drink,
guards against rabies". He wrote this over two thousand years before
Hering made the nosode Lyssin (Hydrophobinum) from the saliva of a mad
dog.
The English doctor,
Edward Jenner, founded the modern tradition of
vaccination. In 1796 Edward Jenner took cowpox-infected matter from the
hand of Sarah Nemes and inoculated a boy named James Phipps. After this
inoculation Jenner waited 48 days and then injected the boy with
smallpox to see if the boy would develop the disease. When the boy did
not become sick with small pox, Jenner then began to inoculate others
with cowpox. The term vaccine is derived on the Latin word vacca, the
cow, in reference to Jenner's original work. James Phipps, Jenner's
first experimental patient, was re-vaccinated 20 times. He became weak
and died of tuberculosis at the age of 20 years. THIS WAS HARDLY A LONG
LIFE FREE FROM DISEASE!
Samuel Hahnemann was
supportive of Jenner's vaccine and considered it
to be one example of how the doctrine of similars prevents disease. His
generation witnessed several destructive epidemics of small pox and he
felt the vaccine contributed to the decline of the disease in Europe.
It seems to have been
Boenninghausen (one of Hahnemann's closes
disciples and one of our most valuable Homeopaths) who first realized
that Jenner's vaccinations were dangerous to the vital force and could
cause serious long term chronic diseases. The Baron felt that taking a
vaccine was trading off today's health for the chance you might get
sick tomorrow so he did not approve of such a method.
Boenninghausen found that Thuja was very
useful in the treatment of smallpox because during an epidemic everyone
he treated lived. He also found that the characteristic pox scars of
the disease were prevented in his cases. This led Boenninghausen to say:
"Whether the same
results may be obtained in every epidemic of
small-pox must be found out by later experience. If this should be the
case, vaccine matter, which in careless hands is so dangerous, and
which has doubtlessly caused an enormous infection with the
scrofula-poison, might find a most valuable substitute." (Lesser
Writings, Boenninghausen, Concerning the Curative Effects of Thuja in
Small-pox, Lesser Writings, page 4)
Boenninghausen felt that
the universal vaccination was the chief cause
for the disquieting spreading of a new epidemic of scrofulous diseases.
This vaccine scrofula was a manifestation of the sequels that the
cowpox virus produced in the constitution of those that were
inoculated. Boenninghausen felt the vaccine was a poison that produced
psoric-like phenomena. J. Compton Burnett was the first to coin the
term, vaccinosis. In his writings he spoke of it as a subdivision of
sycosis. In actuality vaccinosis is neither psora nor sycosis, yet it
can be similar to both. Vaccinosis is an iatrogenic disease caused by
an inoculation or immunization.
Vaccinosis is a man-made
fifth miasm that has a separate
classification. Most of the old homoeopathic literature deals
exclusively with the small pox vaccine, whereas today's homoeopaths
must deal with multiple vaccinations of completely different natures.
The seven most common immunizations are polio, diphtheria, tetanus
(usually in DPT), measles, rubella, mumps and pertussis. They have also
started to give hepatitis B vaccine to newborn babies in the hospital
in the first 24 hours! Hepatitis B is contracted by intravenous drug
injection and
sexual intercourse. Have you seen any newborn babies shooting drugs and
having sex? Such a thing is ridiculous! They are doing this premature
inoculation as a technique to enforce universal vaccination. This is
not healthy for the new born infant and it violates the most basic of
HUMAN RIGHTS!!!
