Cardinal Muller speaks with Polish press about the Synod:" ... even bishops allowed themselves to be blinded..."

Nasz Dziennik, a major Polish media outlet, has carried an extensive interview 
with His Eminence, Gerhard Cardinal Muller, Prefect of the Congregation of the 
Doctrine of the Faith. The Cardinal is very open about the malign influence upon 
the Synod; yet equally firm that the teaching of the Church on Holy Communion 
for those civilly "remarried" is absolutely forbidden, as contrary to the Gospel; 
likewise is each and every homosexual act as contrary to nature as a grave sin. 

On the media: 

Unfortunately, in modern societies, various media, international organizations or 
even governments of various countries are trying to sow confusion in the minds of people. 
In many countries, relationships are destroyed, and this also applies to the Christian 
model of marriage and family. The truth about marriage and family is relativized. These 
trends also, unfortunately, have moved in some way into the Church and the bishops, upon 
which they [media] are trying to exert pressure.... We have Christ and the Gospel. This 
is our point of reference, the foundation for the proper and only teachings of the Church...

On marriage: 

There are a lot of media, but there is only one mediator, who is Jesus Christ and His 
Gospel. Therefore, the Word of God can never be ignored in any way and can not be 
compromised in any of its passages. It must be fully accepted. The Church, neither
before or during, or after the Synod can change what comes from the teaching of 
Christ. In regard to marriage is primarily define the words, "What God has joined 
together, let not man put asunder". 

On homosexuality:

Question: There were such voices that after the Synod of the Church entered the "way of 
the new opening to homosexuals." It sounds as if the church was going to stop calling 
homosexual acts a sin and condemn them?

Cardinal Muller: Of course, for the Church there is always the starting point of a relationship 
of love; of man to woman and woman to man. The Church focuses on this relationship and 
on it builds her social doctrine, including moral doctrine, which is also the whole science of 
human sexuality. There are situations that a person draws his sexuality  to a  person of the 
same sex. And this tendency itself is not a primary subject of the Church. 

The Catechism of the Catholic Church teaches that "homosexual persons are called to 
chastity." Pope Francis said he is not trying to create some new doctrine of the Church, but he 
is trying to show that no one is judged by the Church who has erred and has a homosexual tendency. No one is trying to cut off such people; they are still integrally people. But you 
have to say with clarity that the Church has judged negatively homosexual acts. An active 
part in the act of homosexuality is not acceptable! And the Church never with such an 
assessment does not give up. They are contrary to the natural law, and it is a sin.

On the bishops: 

Cardinal Muller: ...unfortunately, there are representatives of the Church, and even bishops 
who have allowed themselves to be somehow blinded by a secularized society in which they 
have been so influenced that it has drawn them away from the main topic or from the teachings 
of the Church based on revelation.

They began to think about the different possibilities, whether it is or it would be 
possible, forgetting about the foundation ... perhaps suggesting some questionable solutions 
in a matter of commitment in difficult situations in which people find themselves, perhaps 
guiding the desire to help another human being ... 

Everything is fine but you must always remember that there is one "agenda" for us, the agenda 
of the Church, which is based on the revelation of God communicated in Jesus Christ. And this 
is actually for us the most important, if it is lost, lost would be other aspects.

Catholic Exorcist Warns Against Yoga: "You're Opening Yourself to Possession"

An exorcist for the Catholic Church in Manila, Philippines has denounced the practice of yoga, warning parishioners that its meditative nature allows demons to enter a practitioner’s mind and soul. The Philippine Daily Inquirer reported Saturday about Msgr. Jay Bandojo, a Catholic-ordained exorcist, who spoke against yoga during a talk at the Arzobispado de Manila in Intramuros.

Bandojo specifically warned against chanting, a common practice in yoga. According to him, this practice makes people susceptible to possessions, allowing demons to “take advantage” of a yoga practitioner’s soul.

“When you practice yoga, you are told to ‘empty your mind’ while saying [the mantra] ‘om,’ so you can feel relaxed. But when you empty yourself, you’re opening yourself to possession. You have to be careful because demons might take advantage of (this) empty [vessel of your soul] and possess it.”

Bandojo isn’t the first member of the Catholic clergy to criticize the practice of yoga. Last July, an Irish priest named Padraig O’Baoill issued a similar warning to his flock in Gweedore, Ireland. According to Irish paper Donegal News, O’Baoill described yoga and other similar exercises like tai chi as “unsavory” and “contemptible” activities.

“As followers of Jesus Christ, we shouldn’t be taking part in any activities that are in conflict with our faith. Therefore don’t take any part in yoga classes, tai chi or reiki. Do not endanger your souls for the sake of such unsavoury activities.”

The statements have effectively offended members of the yoga community. Responding to Bandojo’s recent statements, one commenter on the Inquirer wrote, “Come on!! Think!!.. Exorcize Yourself!! Judging other religion or practice negatively is the same thing as Discrimination! This is exactly why i do not want to practice my religion! Pathetic.”

Another one wrote, “Too much BS from the Catholic Church. Please stop. Mind your own scriptures.”

Responding to O’Baoill’s statements last July, yoga instructor Norah Graham says she was offended and “a bit surprised” by the priest’s inflammatory remarks against yoga. She added that many of her students belonged to different religions and that their respective spiritual leanings did not play a part in their learning of yoga.

Many members of the Catholic clergy hold negative opinions about yoga, primarily due to its Hindu origins.

Yoga has been proven to bring about positive health benefits to its practitioners, including increased flexibility and strength, and more graceful aging. Yoga has also been observed to improve people’s mental health and stability.

How To Judge The Catholic Church

Thought For The Day

The Iraqi Christian who told ISIS: ‘If you want to kill me for my faith I am prepared to die here now’

When Christian villagers from the Iraqi town of Caramles fled advancing IS forces, 80-year-old Victoria was among a dozen or so unable to leave. The widow, a Chaldean Catholic, knew nothing about the sudden evacuation that had suddenly emptied this ancient village she had known for so long. Next morning she went to church – St Addai’s – as she did every day. She found the place locked; the streets deserted. She knew IS had come.

We met Victoria on our first evening in Erbil at the start of a fact-finding and project assessment trip for Catholic charity Aid to the Church in Need. She wanted to tell us the story of how she and her friend and neighbour Gazella survived.

For four days, they locked themselves in their home, not daring to venture out. “Prayer sustained us,” said Victoria. But they needed food for the body as well as food for the soul and when supplies ran dangerously low they went in search of water and other basics.

Inevitably they ran into IS forces. Explaining their situation, they asked for help and to their surprise IS gave them water even after they refused a request to abandon their faith.

A few days later, IS found them in their homes and rounded them up at St Barbara’s shrine just on the edge of Caramles. There were about a dozen of them there, the last remaining Christian inhabitants of the village.

“You must convert,” IS forces told them. “Our faith can promise you paradise,” they added.

Victoria and Gazella responded: “We believe that if we show love and kindness, forgiveness and mercy we can bring about the kingdom of God on earth as well as in heaven. Paradise is about love. If you want to kill us for our faith then we are prepared to die here and now.”

IS forces had no answer. The dozen Christians, who included many elderly and infirm, were let go. One of them had a battered car. Other transport was also arranged and they made it to safety.

Victoria and Gazelle are still neighbours. But they no longer live in two homes side by side but two mattresses in a room they rent courtesy of the Church in Ainkawa, near Erbil, the capital of Kurdish northern Iraq.

There on the mattresses they told their story. Completing it, Victoria had tears in her eyes. “Ebony”, she said, reaching out her arms to me.

After we embraced, her bishop, Amel Nona of Mosul, himself a refugee too, told me that “Ebony” is Arabic for “my child”. I went away thinking that I was indeed a child sitting at the feet of women of great fortitude, faith and friendship.

Iraqi Christian: ‘ISIS terrorist held a sword to my throat but I refused to convert’

Iraqi refugee Khiria Al-Kas Isaac (Pic by Sahar Mansour in Ankawa, Iraq)

An Iraqi Christian woman described this week how she defied ISIS terrorists who put a sword to her throat and told her to either convert to Islam or lose her head.

With the blade at her neck, she replied that she would rather die than give up her Christian faith. But instead of decapitating her, the Islamists – many of whom she described as foreigners with long beards – robbed her of all her possessions before eventually driving her from Qaraqosh.

The woman, Khiria Al-Kas Isaac, 54, is one of a rising number of Christian refugees to escape over the border to Kurdish-controlled territory with tales of how they narrowly escaped with their lives after they refused to convert to Islam.

Weeping as she recounted her ordeal, Khiria said she and husband, Mufeed Wadee’ Tobiya, awoke on the morning of August 7 to find that Qaraqosh had been over-run by ISIS fighters.

She was told repeatedly by the militants, “who spoke different languages”, from the first day that if she did not convert to Islam she would be decapitated. When she ref- used, she and 46 women, who had also rejected such demands, were separated from their families and whipped and beaten over a 10-day period in an attempt to make them abandon their Christian faith.

Khiria said: “I answered [the terrorists] immediately, I was born Christian and if that leads me to death, I prefer to die a Christian.”

Quoting from the Gospel of St Matthew (10:33), she said: “Jesus said: ‘Whoever denies me before men, I will also deny him before my Father who is in heaven’.”

Khiria said that the women were often assembled as a group to be whipped so that they could witness how the others were suffering grievously.

She said that none of the women capitulated under the scourging and other cruelties inflicted upon them. “All of us were crying but refused to convert,” Khiria said.

She added that when an ISIS terrorist who was flogging her across her back told her he would “hurt you more” unless she became a Muslim, she answered him:

“I am an old lady [and] sick. I have not got any daughter or son that may increase the number of Muslims or follow you, what is the benefit if I will convert?”

On the 10th day all of the women were assembled together again and a terrorist “put the sword on my neck in front of all the ladies and said to me: ‘Convert or you will be killed.’”

Khiria answered: “I am happy to be a martyr.”

At that point the terrorists relented, and robbed her of all possessions, including money she had saved for a kidney operation, and drove close to Kurdish territory where she was released on September 4 along with her husband and two other women.

The following day 14 men and women were also expelled from Qaraqosh. It is not known what has happened to the remaining Christians.

Sahar Mansour, a refugee from Mosul who interviewed Khiria in Ankawa refugee camp near Irbil, said the woman was now unable to sleep because of nightmares about her experiences.

Retired pope says interreligious dialogue no substitute for mission

VATICAN CITY — Retired Pope Benedict XVI said dialogue with other religions is no substitute for spreading the Gospel to non-Christian cultures, and warned against relativistic ideas of religious truth as “lethal to faith.” He also said the true motivation for missionary work is not to increase the church’s size but to share the joy of knowing Christ.

The retired pope’s words appeared in written remarks to faculty members and students at Rome’s Pontifical Urbanian University, which belongs to the Congregation for the Evangelization of Peoples. Archbishop Georg Ganswein, prefect of the papal household and personal secretary to retired Pope Benedict, read the 1,800-word message aloud Oct. 21, at a ceremony dedicating the university’s renovated main lecture hall to the retired pope.

The speech is one of a handful of public statements, including an interview and a published letter to a journalist, that Pope Benedict has made since he retired in February 2013.

“The risen Lord instructed his apostles, and through them his disciples in all ages, to take his word to the ends of the earth and to make disciples of all people,” retired Pope Benedict wrote. “‘But does that still apply?’ many inside and outside the church ask themselves today. ‘Is mission still something for today? Would it not be more appropriate to meet in dialogue among religions and serve together the cause of world peace?’ The counter-question is: ‘Can dialogue substitute for mission?’

“In fact, many today think religions should respect each other and, in their dialogue, become a common force for peace. According to this way of thinking, it is usually taken for granted that different religions are variants of one and the same reality,” the retired pope wrote. “The question of truth, that which originally motivated Christians more than any other, is here put inside parentheses. It is assumed that the authentic truth about God is in the last analysis unreachable and that at best one can represent the ineffable with a variety of symbols. This renunciation of truth seems realistic and useful for peace among religions in the world.

“It is nevertheless lethal to faith. In fact, faith loses its binding character and its seriousness, everything is reduced to interchangeable symbols, capable of referring only distantly to the inaccessible mystery of the divine,” he wrote.

Pope Benedict wrote that some religions, particularly “tribal religions,” are “waiting for the encounter with Jesus Christ,” but that this “encounter is always reciprocal. Christ is waiting for their history, their wisdom, their vision of the things.” This encounter can also give new life to Christianity, which has grown tired in its historical heartlands, he wrote.

“We proclaim Jesus Christ not to procure as many members as possible for our community, and still less in order to gain power,” the retired pope wrote. “We speak of him because we feel the duty to transmit that joy which has been given to us.”

Thought for the Day - Hatred & Anger

“It is not hatred that is wrong, it is hating the wrong thing that is wrong. It is not anger that is wrong, it is being angry at the wrong thing that is wrong. Tell me your enemy, and I will tell you what you are. Tell me your hatred, and I will tell you your character. Do you hate religion? Then your conscience bothers you. Do you hate the wealthy? Then you are avaricious, and you want to be wealthy. Do you hate sin? Then you love God. Do you hate your hate, your selfishness, your quick temper, your wickedness? Then you are a good soul, for ‘if any man come to me… and hate not his own life, he cannot be my disciple’ Luke 14:26” 

Archbishop Fulton Sheen (Victory over Vice)

Benedict In Silence

We can’t blame Benedict for what the Church slowly has become, he tried to correct in some ways a deadly and wrong perception of Vatican II, in which almost all Bishops failed, the Latin mass was never canceled.

Catechism is clear we shouldn’t hate people, but rather out of love tell them the truth, sodomy is a grave sin and because we respect you we are not condoning anything, because the world condones you and celebrate your sin, the Catholic Church with the truth at hand must tell you that God loves you and forgives you but you should pursue conversion and purity.

The same is with all clear teaching like divorce and re-married, you are welcome to the Church but only spiritual communion should be embraced and pursue conversion.

Clear teaching from the apostles handed down to us and in 2000 years nothing have change, no dogma has change and it is also clear that dogma can’t be modify, erased or forgotten if you truly love the Lord.

Benedict knows what is going on, he is one of the brightest minds of the Church and he has prophesied all of this since the beginning:

‘Pray for me, that I may not flee for fear of the wolves.” Benedict XVI at his first mass.

Then after the scandals, the defrocking of many priests who abuse (more than 400), the “whoever is a homosexual cannot be a priest”, the “Islam is not a religion of peace”, Vatileaks, the overall disobedience by his bishops, the constant false and wicked PR from the secular media pushing him to resign, but the Vicar of Christ prepared the flock… the year of faith.

It wasn’t a coincidence, suddenly the “Whoever thinks Fatima has ended is wrong”, the “Church will become small”, the “I’ll be with you even though I will remain hidden from the world” plus the year of faith, was all a preparation for what is about to unfold…

Apostasy! (2 Thes 2)

Benedict XVI, a true pope, a martyr, my friend and holy father has suffer and still is, his pains are the offering to our Lord Jesus for the Church, praying for all, his enemies and those like me who never pray for him, who didn’t like him and now after giving oneself to Jesus finally, see my mistakes and embrace the Vicar of Christ like I should’ve done from the beginning.

Benedict has been seen around Francis, attending in some capacity to some Church events, but hasn’t condemn Francis publicly, his silence has been loud as he is praying and watching… you see, he can’t say anything because there is NO definitive act of heresy yet, all is smoke and more smoke.

Benedict is waiting fire, not simply some prophecies here or there, no… Remember he is the pope and as pope he needs something definitive and this synod shall give this to him, next October you shall see what a true Vicar is made of… the small Church is set for 2015, and it is not a new Church, but the same Catholic Church in the wilderness, not with structures, but with faith.

Ebo-LIE? Shock Claim From Ghanaian Nurse

A facebook post allegedly written by Nana Kwame a nurse from Ghana, claims that the deadly ebola virus is just an invention and that people in the West need to know what’s happening in West Africa.

Nana Kwome Wrote:

“People in the Western World need to know what’s happening here in West Africa. THEY ARE LYING!!! “Ebola” as a virus does NOT Exist and is NOT “Spread”. The Red Cross has brought a disease to 4 specific countries for 4 specific reasons and it is only contracted by those who receive treatments and injections from the Red Cross. That is why Liberians and Nigerians have begun kicking the Red Cross out of their countries and reporting in the news the truth. Now bear with me:

REASONS:

Most people jump to “depopulation” which is no doubt always on the mind of the West when it comes to Africa. But I assure you Africa can NEVER be depopulated by killing 160 people a day when thousands are born per day. So the real reasons are much more tangible.

Reason 1: This vaccine implemented sickness being “called” Ebola was introduced into West Africa for the end goal of getting troops on the ground in Nigeria, Liberia, and Sierra Leone. If you remember America was just trying to get into Nigeria for “Boko Haram” #BULLSHIT but that fell apart when Nigerians started telling the truth. There ARE NO GIRLS MISSING. Global support fell through the floor, and a new reason was needed to get troops into Nigeria and steal the new oil reserves they have discovered.

Reason 2: Sierra Leone is the World’s Largest Supplier of Diamonds. For the past 4 months they have been on strike, refusing to provide diamonds due to horrible working conditions and slave pay. The West will not pay a fair wage for the resources because the idea is to keep these people surviving on rice bags and foreign aid so that they remain a source of cheap slave labor forever. A reason was also needed to get troops on the ground in Sierra Leone to force an end to the diamond miners strikes. This is not the first time this has been done. When miners refuse to work troops are sent in and even if they have to kill and replace them all, the only desire is to get diamonds back flowing out of the country.

Of course to launch multiple campaigns to invade these countries separately would be way too fishy. But something like “Ebola” allows access to an entire area simultaneously…

Reason 3: In addition to stealing Nigerian oil, and forcing Sierra Leone back to mining, troops have also been sent in to FORCE vaccinations (Deadly “Ebola” Poison) onto those Africans who are not foolish enough to take them willingly.

3000 troops are being sent in to make sure that this “poison” continues to spread, because again it is only spread through vaccination. As more and more news articles are released as they have been in Liberia, informing the populous of the US lies and manipulation, more and more Africans are refusing to visit the Red Cross. Troops will force these vaccinations upon the people to ensure the visible appearance of an Ebola pandemic. In addition to this they will protect the Red Cross from the Liberians and Nigerians who have been rightfully ejecting them from their countries.

Reason 4: Last but not least, the APPEARANCE of this Ebola “pandemic” (should Americans not catch on) will be used to scare the countless millions into taking an “Ebola vaccine” which in reality is the pandemic. Already they have started with stories of how it has been brought to the U.S. and has appeared in Dallas, how white doctors were c ured but black infected are not being allowed to be treated, etc.

ALL that will do is make blacks STRIVE to get the vaccine, because it appears that the “cure” is being held back from blacks. They will run out in droves to get it and then there will be serious problems. With all we have seen revealed about vaccines this year you would think we learned our lesson. All I can do is hope so, Because they rely on our ignorance to complete their agendas.

Ask yourself: If Ebola really was spread from person to person, instead of controlled spread through vaccination – then WHY would the CDC and the US Government continue to allow flights in and out of these countries with absolutely no regulation, Or At All? We have got to start thinking and sharing information globally because they do not give the true perspective of the people who live here in West Africa. They are lying for their own benefit and there aren’t enough voices out there with a platform to help share our reality. Hundreds of thousands have been killed, paralyzed and disabled by these and other “new” vaccines all over the world and we are finally becoming aware of it. Now what will we do with all this information?”

This is not the first claim of this type. In September an article by Dr. Cyril Broderick published by The Liberian Observer alleged that deadly diseases such as Ebola and AIDS are bio weapons being tested on Africans

The same newspaper also published a story claiming formaldeyde had been dumped in Liberian water wells and was allegedly causing Ebola-like symptoms

While YourNewsWire cannot verify that these claims are true, we ask that readers do their own research and draw their own conclusions.

Man's One-Dimensional World

“Formerly, man lived in a three-dimensional universe where, from an earth he inhabited with his neighbors, he looked forth to heaven above and to hell below. 

Forgetting God, man’s vision has lately been reduced to a single dimension; namely, that of his own mind. Where can the soul go, now that a road block has been thrown up against every external outlet? 

Like a city which has had all its outer ramparts seized, man must retreat inside himself. As a body of water that is blocked turns back upon itself, collecting scum, refuse, and silt, so the modern soul (which has none of the goals or channels of the Christian) backs upon itself and in that choked condition collects all the sub-rational, instinctive, dark, unconscious sediment which would never have accumulated had there been the normal exits of normal times. 

Man now finds that he is locked up within himself, his own prisoner. Jailed by self, he now attempts to compensate for the loss of the three-dimensional universe of faith by analyzing his mind.”

PETA Release Video of Angora Rabbit Investigation in China

Taken from CBS News:

People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals released graphic video Tuesday from its undercover investigation into angora farms in China.

Over the course of four months the organization went to nine different farms.

In the video, the rabbits' high-pitched screams can be heard as farmers rip out their wool until the animal is bald. The rabbits are then thrown back into their cage and appear to be stunned and in shock.

PETA says the farmers repeat this process every 70-75 days and about 60 percent of rabbits that are tormented this way die after one to two years.

"This angora fur is highly prized. And the farmers rip it out this way because they can get a higher price by selling the entire length of the fur rather than just sheering it," said Kathy Guillermo, Senior Vice President of PETA.

Angora rabbit on Chinese farm is having its wool ripped out to collect fibers for Angora clothing

In the United States, American angora breeders said they disagree with the methods these farmers use."It makes me want to go vomit. I mean that was pretty rough," said Melissa Deitrich after watching PETA's video.

Deitrich is an angora breeder and member of the National Angora Rabbit Breeders Club (NARBC). She says she uses the gentle and painless methods of plucking, sheering and cutting her rabbits.

Even though breeders like Deitrich use humane practices for gather her rabbit's wool, the United States angora production is incredibly small compared to China.

PETA says around 90 percent of the world's angora comes from China, which makes it the largest producer.

According to the International Wool Textile Organization (IWTO), in 2012, 4,700 tons of unwashed angora wool was produced around the world.

"If shoppers are out looking for sweaters, hats or scarves this holiday shopping season and they see an angora item, chances are that angora fur came from China," said Guillermo.

The soft fiber is used as an element in sweaters and other knitwear found at stores all over America.

CBSNews.com reached out to several retail companies that carry angora, but none commented.

Some companies like H&M have policies stating they will only use angora from humane sources.

There are no animal rights laws in China that protect these rabbits in this virtually under-investigated world.

PETA wants consumers to look beyond the clothing.

"[Angora clothing] began as a living being on a farm in China most likely. And I don't think any consumers, most of whom are compassionate I believe, would like to have any part of that," said Guillermo.

Christ did not suffer."

10 Reasons Why Flu Shots Are More Dangerous Than The Flu!

The verdict is out on flu shots. Many medical experts now agree it is more important to protect yourself and your family from the flu vaccine than the flu itself. Let’s take a look at the reasons behind this verdict:

1.) There is a total lack of real evidence that young children even benefit from flu shots. A systematic review of 51 studies involving 260,000 children age 6 to 23 months found no evidence that the flu vaccine is any more effective than a placebo. Also the shots are only able to protect against certain strains of the virus, which means that if you come into contact with a different strain of virus you will still get the flu.

2.) Medical journals have published thousands of articles revealing that injecting vaccines can actually lead to serious health problems including harmful immunological responses and a host of other infections. This further increases the body’s susceptibility to the diseases that the vaccine was supposed to protect against.

3.) Ever noticed how vaccinated children within days or few weeks develop runny noses, pneumonia, ear infections and bronchiolitis? The reason is the flu virus introduced in their bodies which creates these symptoms. It also indicates immuno-suppression i.e. lowering of the immunity. The flu vaccines actually do not immunize but sensitize the body against the virus.

4.) Its a known fact that Flu vaccines contain strains of the flu virus along with other ingredients. Now think about the impact such a vaccine can have over someone with a suppressed immune system? If you have a disease that is already lowering your body’s ability to fight a virus, taking the flu shot will put your body in danger of getting the full effects of the flu and make you more susceptible to pneumonia and other contagious diseases.

5.) The Flu vaccines contain mercury, a heavy metal known to be hazardous for human health. The amount of mercury contained in a multi-dose flu shot is much higher than the maximum allowable daily exposure limit. Mercury toxicity can cause memory loss, depression, ADD, oral health problems, digestive imbalances, respiratory problems, cardiovascular diseases and many more such serious health ailments.

And what about the elderly? Can the flu vaccine help them?

6.) There is mounting evidence that flu shots can cause Alzheimer’s disease. One report shows that people who received the flu vaccine each year for 3 to 5 years had a 10-fold greater chance of developing Alzheimer’s disease than people who did not have any flu shots. Also with age the immune system weakens, thus lowering your ability to fight off infections. Introducing the flu virus in the bodies of elderly could have dangerous consequences

7.) The Center for Disease Control appoints a 15-member Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP). This committee is responsible for deciding who should be vaccinated each year. Almost all the ACIP have a financial interest in immunizations. It’s all about the money and may have very little to do with your health and well being. The very people pushing these vaccines stand to make billions of dollars. This itself creates a doubt on how effective these flu vaccines really are?

8.) Research shows that over-use of the flu-vaccine and drugs like Tamiflu and Relenza can actually alter flu viruses and cause them to mutate into a more deadly strain. Couple this with drug resistant strains and you have virtually no benefits with much risk.

9.) There is enough evidence that shows that the ingredients present in the flu vaccinations can actually cause serious neurological disorders. In the 1976 swine flu outbreak, many who got the flu shots developed permanent nerve damage. Flu vaccines can contain many harmful materials including detergent, mercury, formaldehyde, and strains of live flu virus. Is this what you want to put in YOUR body?

10.) Trying to guess what strain to vaccinate against each season has proved to be no more effective than a guessing game. This has been very true in recent years with the H1N1 strain. Moreover getting multi-shots will only prove more dangerous as different strains of viruses and harmful ingredients are introduced into your body.

Flu shots are indeed more dangerous than you could think, and it is best to rely on natural ways to protect against the flu rather than getting yourself vaccinated.

Isn’t it interesting that the main stream public health officials never promote the various proven ways to avoid the flu other than through vaccination? How about spending some of the billions of advertising dollars teaching us natural ways to boost our immune systems and avoid the flu without harmful and sometimes deadly vaccinations.
