Comment on I have lost faith in almost *EVERY* vaccine
iamtanmay@wolfballs.com 2 years agoThere is a comparison between Amish (no drugs, no electricity, no modern nothing) population and rest of US. They have far lower rates of diseases like Autism and Cancer:

Yeah its probably environmental contaminants. Maybe some social contagions. All that plastic and chemicals is making dudes want to chop their dicks off. Probably autism too. I've heard some people link that weed killer round up to autism. Like they said it goes into the plant proteins. The crop yeild is so much higher I don't think it will matter. People will look the other way. I don't eat corn, wheat , or soy for the most part. Sometimes a little soy sauce but I imagine all the agro chemicals are gone at that point.

On autism, I think there are multiple factors. Here are the ones I've added to my list:
MMR vaccine. It isn't so much that the vaccine itself is all that unsafe (compared to the most recent vaccines), but because of the body's reaction to it. And nowadays, multiple vaccines are given together at once. I am not sure even if there is an "MMR" vaccine anymore. For cost reasons, it might be combined with a bunch of others. So brain swelling could occur, and the more vaccines at once, the more harmful that could be. However, there is more at play than just that.
Gender. Boys are more likely to be diagnosed than girls, and when girls are diagnosed, the cases are often milder. One hypothesis is that because of the biological role of girls, their bodies conserve vitamin D more and can survive on less.
Genetic mutations. There may be a connection between altered vitamin D receptors and autism. It seems to be that a reasonable course of action is that before giving MMR vaccines to children, test to see if they have altered vitamin D receptors. If they do, either not give those particular vaccines, or try to get the blood levels of vitamin D to about triple the high end of "normal" (but only in those with the mutations that make vitamin D less usable).
Vitamin D deficiency. Vitamin D is an immuno-modulator, among its other roles. So it could prevent or reduce such swelling. So what if one were to give high doses of vitamin D and lots of outdoor play for 1-2 weeks before vaccines? Part of the issue here is that the AAP lowered its recommendations to the lower FDA recommendations. The issue here is that the FDA standard is lower because it is outdated. That was derived back when everyone was more agrarian and children worked in the fields with the adults. So lots of sun exposure and little need for supplementation. The pediatrics board actually had more experience and was more up to date, but conceded to the USRDA.
Now, you can see how all the above can lead to a perfect storm. So take a male toddler with the vitamin D receptor mutations and deficiency, with little sun exposure, and then give them multiple vaccines at once.

Pretty much all grains destroy my stomach these days. I started noticing I cant eat oatmeal then wheat then most corn products... rice is a little better...I wonder if its all the chems.

No, I think it is worse than "chemicals." Chemicals are sprayed on the plants. They have done worse. They've modified the genomes. See, to make it "RoundUp resistant," they added some of the DNA of a noxious weed that RoundUp cannot kill. So most of the grains are not what they say they are. They are new plants that are like the grains in question.
You can't wash DNA off.

Good point

Gene modification tech is not bad on its own. Humankind has been doing it via hybridisation since the start of agriculture.
However, unchecked corporate greed combined with this tech, like any other powerful tech, is destructive to everyone.
I feel that maybe the solution to all these problems lies in reforming patents. If we had a good way to reward inventions, while making it open source, companies could not black box things for consumers.
It maybe a better alternative than regulation, which just gets corrupted by BigCorp over time, and is a blocker to new innovation.

Wheat and oatmeal have a lot of anti nutrients to prevent you from digesting them. White rice less so. Scottish use to ferment their oats. At that point its super easy to digest. I ate a similar fermented corn in China. You can soak your oats over night too that helps. And eat sour doe bread.

Natural corn is not all that nutritious anyway. That is why chemically treating it in lye was done many years ago and to the current day. That is how you get hominy and grits. Corn is treated in sodium hydroxide to dissolve the layers that humans cannot digest. And I imagine after that, it would maybe be soaked in vinegar to remove any residual lye, and maybe baking soda to remove residual vinegar, or however.

In Asia, this is a much bigger problem, because the farmers are more bad at overusing these things.
In primary school, govt textbooks teach kids how to check for pesticides, if there is some mixing of substitutes to make $$ etc. Getting scammed on food in Asia, is a real problem.
Same in Africa. There they often have 'plastic' mixed in with rice
Everyone needs to be careful where they get their food from.

Yeah, contaminants such as melamine are a bad problem. It is one thing to make plates out of the stuff, but adding it in as fake protein can damage the kidneys and liver.

Yes, a lot of deaths and shorter avg life expectancy is due to these inhumane methods to make $$
