This Week's Quote:

"Your innate worth has never been lowered, compromised, or touched by fate or circumstance. It exists as a fact of life, like air and trees and doesn't need to be raised, revitalized or earned. The problem is not your actual worth but your perceived worth."

--Dan Millman, Everyday Enlightenment

1. This Is A Scolding!

Once in a while I find myself wondering why I write Letter From Serendipity. From last week's article about a brilliant new breakthrough with a genetically modified virus made into a vaccine that could save MILLIONS, if not billions, of lives I got somebody trying to teach me about vaccines and how bad they are.

This is despite me saying, as clearly as I could, don't fall into "mob thinking" that all vaccines are bad, that they all have thimerosol, that all cause paralysis etc. this guy wrote me all those tired old cliches. Did he even READ my article, I was left wondering? I think he just saw the word vaccination and decided I had spoken pollution and profanity!

I like to believe the reason you read my newsletters is because I take the time and care to print what's real and what matters. I do not do all the usual "herd" thinking. There are thousands of ignoramuses out there who will give you all the pap and junk science, if that's what you need (which I'm sure it isn't).

Over the years I have made it quite clear that mercury in vaccines does NOT cause autism and I don't care if Joe Mercola or The United States President says it does. Even vaccines without ANY mercury have caused autism; [read the next 15 words in bold letters very carefully, before you even THINK of writing to "correct" my ignorance] I know cases where autism has arisen in children who have never had ANY vaccinations.

People who are slow intellectually still want to push the thimerosol story, despite the fact that as thimerosol has been reduced or phased out, that autism rates are still going UP [Schechter, R. and Grether, J.K. Archives of General Psychiatry, January 2008; vol 65: pp 19-24].

I ask you to remember I was one of the first doctors in the world to call attention to what appeared to be a link between MMR vaccine and autism. My casebook goes back to the early 80s. At that time severe cases of the autism spectrum disorder were being called "disintegrative psychosis". I had so many sensational cases, I could not doubt that something was going on. I was later on the Gay Byrne Radio Show in Dublin, Ireland and wanted to say this but even Gay wouldn't allow me to voice my exact thought and insisted he would only let me say "It seems as if..." (this was a live show and had to be agreed beforehand).

I believe there is no single "cause" of autism but the likely precipitating agent in many cases is the modified measles "rogue" virus present in MMR. Andrew Wakefield is right, according to my clinical experience over 3 decades. See my older web page on him:

http://www.alternative-doctor.com/vaccination/wakefield.htm

I also believe, contrary to propaganda that's rife in the alternative health field, that thousands of doctors and scientific researchers are honest, genuine and sincere and want desperately to find the true cause of this aweful epidemic of child blight. They are not all criminals trying to cover up the truth; it's laughable to say so.

There are strong clues beginning to emerge and I think it will be solved and quite soon. Meantime, the stupid and misinformed attention to what is most obviously NOT the cause, by thousands of hysterical and mob-driven writers and bloggers, is distracting from the real need and urgency.

UPDATE. 1a. Couldn't resist a quick cut-and-paste of this article from Health Freedom Alliance, which arrived in my inbox only this morning!

"Toddlers who receive the combination MMRV (measles, mumps, rubella and varicella) vaccine are at higher risk of having a febrile seizure a week to 10 days after receiving the shot than children who get the MMR and varicella (chicken pox) vaccines separately at the same visit, a new study confirms.

"Researchers found that among 12- to 23-months olds who received their first dose of measles-containing vaccine, the MMRV shot resulted in one additional febrile seizure for every 2,300 doses given when compared with separate MMRV and varicella vaccines.

"Doctor Wendy Sue Swanson, a pediatrician in Mill Creek, Wash., who is also on staff at Seattle Children's Hospital, said she was initially a big proponent of the MMRV vaccine but began counseling parents about the increased risk of febrile seizures as soon as the preliminary findings were made public and the ACIP changed its recommendation."

I think it is especially dumb to combine all four ingredients and then give it to tots, some of them just a year old. But the trouble-maker, looking at the frequency, is still likely to be the measles component, not the pertussis addition.

NOTE: this vaccine mixture does not contain thimerosol but it does contain MSG!

2. A Really Revolutionary Diet Book

I love trawling in thrift shops (charity shops for you guys in Europe). I've picked up a huge library that way. "Friends" of your local library sales of withdrawn books is a good place to scrounge bargains too.

I just picked up a really great one. I never heard of it before. It's "Picture Perfect Weight Loss" by Howard M. Shapiro, an osteopath. He taught me stuff even I didn't know.

I'm basically a low-carb man for dieting. But since the launch of the "Fat Release System" (which you should check out, by the way: www.fatreleasesystem.com they have a special offer running); I've been more calorie conscious.

The great thing about Shapiro's book is he does it with pictures and there are some shocking revelations. Example: stir fried chicken with mushrooms = 430 calories; steamed tofu with mushrooms (same sized plate) = 200 calories.

Or how about this one:

egg roll (small) = small serving of spare ribs = small dish of crispy wanton noodles = a full meal of vegetable soup, 4 oz. shrimp, 1 1/2 cups of brocolli, 2 tbspn Hoisin sauce, 2/3 cup of brown rice (and a fortune cookie!) = 400 calories. When you see a page full of dishes equal to just one piddling serving, it really helps you understand the message.

Here's an example illustration; click on it and you will get a larger image:

I totally recommend this book for anyone with weight concerns (or is cooking for anyone with weight concerns). And you know what? I picked up 2 more copies from Amazon (used, hardback) for just 1 penny each. That's right: 1 cent!

So I left a few there on Amazon for my readers, while I lend these 3 to friends.

3. The Happiest People On Earth Are "Sick" (Or is it us?)

Have you heard of William's Syndrome? It's a strange and rare affliction that makes you happy all the time! Scientists are stuggling hard to find out what has gone wrong with these people (sorry, just joking).

These children smile all the time, show no fear and embrace everyone in their lovely relaxed world of delight. They smile all the time; I mean how pathological is that? (sorry, I've got to stop this).

William's children have a condition called hypersociability. It leads them to believe everyone in the world is their friend. Unfortunately, it's not infectious! (sorry, no really sorry).

It's a gene disorder. Or maybe an advance? (oops, sorry...) whereby they are missing about 26 genes on chromosome 7. As a result, these kids feel no fear and consequently no racial prejudices.

Actually, I joke because I love these kids. I'm convinced they can teach us something. Maybe fear is just a gene? You know I'm not a "genes-for-everything" person -- quite the opposite. But their total lack of fear and unease is compelling and something, perhaps, to envy.

This is lovely Sereena
Can't you just feel a smacking wet kiss coming on?

Sadly, these delightful little people do have problems, like failure to thrive, excess calcium levels in the blood and speech difficulties. They seem smarter than us and our aggressive ways, yet they are usually classified as mentally retarded. But they are just so easy to love!

4. The Dentist's Drill May Become A Thing Of The Past

The holy grail of dentistry should be finding ways to enable teeth to regenerate like new, without drilling, filling or extraction. But dentists are so obsessed with greed and profits that few think about actually healing teeth. In any case, it hasn't been possible.

Till now.

A French science team have found a way to cause bad teeth to regrow healthy material and restore themselves to A1 health. It could be a miracle in our lifetime.

The researchers used a signalling peptide called alpha melanoctye stimulating hormone (MSH). When applied as a gel to cavities in the teeth of lab mice, the cavities healed up; literally vanished, within a month.

It won't mean that teeth don't need brushing and flossing. This method does not prevent cavities; it just heals them. But this is so much better than drilling and filling. Those of you who have read my book "Virtual Medicine" will know that I talked about modern high speeds drills and that they "cooked" teeth, so killing them.

Teeth can be dangerous in many ways. The way teeth transmit the energy message of cancer, so that the recipient gets cancer too, is particularly amazing. You should read "Virtual Medicine", if you haven't already done so. Get it here:

5. Protect The Love And Sanity In Your Environment

I came in from my walk this morning to find the bedroom TV left on (Viv was in her laundry and had forgotten it, I suppose). I undressed to take a shower after the heat of the early Sierra sun.

On the news there was a lurid description of a murder in which a girl was... well, I won't give the details, for reasons that will soon be obvious. Then some other guys were being indicted for trying to scam the parents of another murder victim, offering to reveal the whererabouts of her missing corpse. [I might just comment that in Europe, on the whole, we don't just walk our women out in the bush and kill them, as happens often in the USA].

I hurried to switch off the TV. I hate that filth, even subliminally. It's like a sewer running through our lives. The morbid obsession with murder on TV has led it to be a major part of the entertainment industry; not just fictional crimes and detectives but real life brutality. There's more than one TV channel which has continuous programming of true murders, complete with images of corpses, gory stories and gruesome details.

Yucckkk!!

I hate to catch that stuff even momentarily, while surfing for something (anything?) intelligent...

We don't need this and I encourage you to create your home as a gentle space where bad words are not even spoken, whether by occupants or TV figures. I believe they have a real impact and I don't think of it as woo-woo to feel it corrupts and taints our space.

How about, instead, playing continuous beautiful music and sounds. One of my friends plays Tibetan bells 24/7/365 and I believe you can feel the presence of this love and harmony. It soaks into the very walls.

Just another healing tip from me!

6. What's In A Word?

Inane

This is a really simple word that gets everyone mixed up.

It does NOT mean insane (crazy); it means empty, meaningless, pointless, something without sense or substance. It would be used like "The conversation was inane..."

Once again it's from the Latin (don't you just love the way those guys get into our every thought almost!): Latin = inanis, empty, lacking sense.

So, that's all for this week!

Be well; find the sacred in all you do, otherwise don't do it!
