BENEFITS OF NATURAL IMMUNITY FROM COVID MUST BE CREDITED Discussions concerning mandatory vaccination cards are ignoring the millions who have had the COVID virus. Over 98 per cent of those survived and have natural immunity. Now monoclonal antibodies are being reproduced in the lab for infusions. At the end of the day, our immune system is the best defense.

n all the discussions regarding vaccination—to have one or two or none--there’s a critical component missing: our innate human capacity to heal ourselves, our natural immunity. Never has the healthcare systems in the US, UK, and Canada, at a minimum, so failed to instruct the populace on how to take care of themselves by, basically, strengthening their immune system. The only messages on how to ‘stay safe’ have been ‘wash your hands’ and ‘keep 6’ apart’. The dialogue that immediately rose from the health agencies, government, and the mass media became a single message— vaccination was the only solution. And this message has become the only one permitted. Individuals who have promoted and educated readers/ website visitors/patients for decades in natural solutions for health challenges have been vilified. Censorship of leaders

and of ordinary, interested individuals, has become a serious attack on democratic freedoms of speech and the press. And, ultimately, health freedom, the right to choose what we will do to care for our body/our life, is threatened. This mono-message of vaccines as the only solution adds to the social divisions that Americans are already suffering. Deciding to strengthen one’s immune system and not inject vaccines that haven’t been tested according to FDA standards isn’t a political decision. It’s a health choice. And it’s a choice every human being should have. It’s quite understandable that the American Medical Association (AMA) wouldn’t endorse a programme of healthy living as a solution. Self-care programmes of detoxification, eating mainly live foods (unprocessed—no Boxes, Bags, or Cans), exercises for de-stressing and strengthening, and

herbs to bolster the immune system aren’t part of their education or regime. America’s physicians have one course in nutrition in medical school. Their schools and programmes are built and supported by the pharmaceutical industry and use of pharmaceuticals is the modus operandi. When I researched the content of WomensMedicineBowl.com in 2002, about 95 per cent of continuing education of US physicians was sponsored by the pharmaceutical industry. They’re not teaching herbal treatments and sitz baths. So with the onset of a pandemic, the only solution obvious to the dominant medical paradigm was vaccines. But with the virus continuing to mutate, how many vaccine boosters will be endured? With what consequences? Why is open communication of people’s experiences with the vaccines
