The purpose of this volume is to provide a working
reference of various statements regarding vaccination andnot to offer a “cure” of any specific disease in any specificindividual.
Preconceived opinions regarding vaccination will not
be changed overnight nor by the reading of a single book.
Herein are the opinions of many great scientists and doctors (of many schools). Many have spent a life-time ofresearch—of trial and error before making their statements.
The reader has the privilege to accept or to reject the statements after due deliberation.
Thus we feel this volume should not be considered adangerous book for the layman but a thought-provoking
treatise.

PREFACE
For the past 2000 years physicians have been looking in
the wrong direction for the cure of disease. Their worse
than useless practice of killing germs with poison drugs
has never—and can never—solve the problem of disease.
During the Dark Ages, before the introduction of
improved nutrition and sanitation, the world was intermittently visited with epidemics of smallpox. The cause was
stubbornly ignored and the seeds for more disease weresown when vaccination was brought into popular use. Thisinfusion of poison injected into the blood stream of themasses only served to intensify the disease in some cases,
suppress the symptoms in others and create new and more
serious diseases in still others. So, with the passing of years
we have seen this misbegotten child ofignorance grow into a Frankenstein monster of immense
proportions that moves relentlessly forward, grinding underfoot the multitudes that throng its path.
Through the lethal power of this poisoned needle, thesimple zymotic (contagious) diseases of the past have been
devolved into the horrors of the present—our terrifying andexpanding crop of “killer diseases”. Many of these strange“mystery diseases” that baffle the entire medical world, arethe sordid products of vaccine poisons that disturb thechemical balance of the body and interfere with normal
functioning.
All these medically-made atrocities are far worse thansmallpox or any of the other eruptive diseases that natureprovides as a means of expelling the accumulated poison
waste from the abused body. This interference with thebalanced economy of nature has multiplied the problems
beyond the power of science to control.
Our worst epidemics now are epidemics of vaccination2

in which more people are killed every year by “vaccinal
diseases” than by the diseases that the vaccinations were
supposed to combat.
Complete freedom from disease can scarcely be foundexcept in remote islands or isolated communities that havenot been invaded by medical mischief and commercialized
products. Is our proud civilization to be degraded, corrupted, and destroyed by its own inventions designed for
selfish profit and exploitation of the race?
Vaccination, instead of being the promised blessing to
the world, has proved to be a curse of such sweeping devastation that it has caused more death and disease than war,
pestilence, and plague combined. There is no scourge (withthe possible exception of atomic radiation) that is more
destructive to our nation’s health than this monument of
human deception—this slayer of the innocent —this crippler of body and brain—The Poisoned Needle.

CHAPTER 1
THE POISONED NEEDLE“Truth wears no mask, seeks neither place nor applause,bows to no human shrine; she only asks a hearing.”
The increasing flood of evidence against vaccination andthe growing for the un-suppressed facts about this “touchy”
subject have literally forced this book into being.
As this work has progressed and the extensive researchhas been carried to trace down and organize the material
for this manuscript, other valuable long concealed records,
that I had not expected, have come into my hands as if bysome unseen power. It is to be hoped that the information
contained within these pages will help to sweep away the
tragic errors that cloud the minds of the people as well as
the physicians. It is urgent that the living words of truth orsome other force be applied to abolish that deadly weapon,
the poisoned needle, which has been the menacing road blockstanding in the way of progress in the healing field for thesemany years
Vaccination and the false germ theory upon which it
is hinged has led mankind far astray and has severed thefragile thread that offered medical theory and practice ahope of becoming a science. Under the sway of our present degenerative medical methods the health of our people
has declined to the lowest point in history. The 1955 survey
showed that over 90% of our population is below par mentally or physically. According to life insurance records, army
reports, hospital statements, government statistics and physical examinations for marriage certificates and employment,
etc., it is revealed that there is hardly one normal, healthy
person in a hundred. The Cancer Foundation states that4one out of every four is marked for cancer. The figures onheart trouble are even worse than that and the other “killer
diseases” come in for their toll. Practically all the rest of
the people have symptoms of less serious diseases; these
symptoms being headaches. constipation, weak eyes, dental
caries, colds, pain, stomach trouble, etc. Most, if not all,diseases are avoidable and curable (at a certain stage) but
not under the deceptive medical method of poisoning thewell and the sick with vaccines and drugs and mutilatingthem with unnecessary operations.
When socialized medicine was threatening, a meeting of
medical officials was called to discuss just how many andwhich operations would really be necessary if there was no
profit in it. It was decided that only 3% would be consideredessential under those conditions. This information camefrom a medical student whose instructor had attended themeeting.
WHERE HAVE THE “GREAT STRIDES OF
MEDICAL SCIENCE” TAKEN US?
After a glance at the medical records covering the past 70
years of what boastfully called “our great strides of medical
science” we can hardly help wondering if those seven league
strides haven’t been in reverse, because there is a marked
decline in our nation’s health and a shocking increase in
the killer diseases during those very years. The acute diseases that were to have been conquered by vaccination have
only been masked and “save face” or suppressed until theretained poisons corroded the internal organs and developed
into dangerous chronic diseases.
The following table gives us an idea of what our present
faulty methods are doing to our race:

5

INCREASE IN KILLER DISEASESDURING THE PAST 70 YEARSInsanity increased 400%
Cancer increased 308%
Anemia increased 300%
Epilepsy increased 397%
Bright’s Disease increased 65%
Heart Disease increased 179%
Diabetes increased 1800% (In spite of or because of insulin)
Polio increased 680%
Never in the history of this country have preventablediseases flourished with such wild abandon, continuously
being fed by the very drugs and commercialized irritants
that set them into operation in the first place.
Dr. Alexis Carrel, of the Rockefeller Institute, stated:(Scientific Monthly, July, 1925):“Although the adult individual today has much lesschance of dying from smallpox, cholera, or typhoid, thanhe had 50 years ago, he surely has more prospect of being
tortured by some form of cancer, afflicted with slow diseasesof the kidneys, of the circulatory apparatus or the endocrine
glands, and of going insane ... Modern medicine protectshim (attempts to) against infections which kill rapidly, but
leaves him exposed to the slower and more cruel diseases.”Annie Riley Hale, in The Medical Voodoo speaks of“medicine as ‘a system of healing which after 5000 yearsof trial and error’ is describing itself as ‘a science in the6making’, whose proudest showing to date is, that it hasenabled the race to ‘swap’ smallpox for cancer and typhoid
fever for diabetes and insanity, may still be worthy of credence and patronage by its devoted followers. But whatjustification can there be for putting the whole power of thegovernment back of such a system, and the public treasury
at its disposal, to spread misleading propaganda about its
own peculiar doctrines and methods, to force them on the
helpless?”
Although there are a number of far more successful
and efficient systems of healing in this country, the medical
system is the only one that gets endorsement and support
from the government. All our tax supported Departmentsof Health, hospitals and institutions are under the domination of medical personnel. In spite of the financial support,
public confidence and full scale experimentation and testingof all their methods and theories, the medical school ofhealing has utterly failed to control any of the killer diseases
and doesn’t have a sure cure for even one of the mild diseases. Smallpox and other epidemics were largely controlled
by improvements in sanitation and nutrition years before
vaccination became popularized. Yet a tremendous sum ofmoney is poured into the medical coffers every year with noaccounting made for its use and no benefits received. Isn’t
it time that this squandering of public funds be stopped
and the better qualified practitioners be given a chance tosalvage the wreckage before it is too late?
THE INSIDE STORY
After half a century of medical practice, Dr. John Tilden
made the following observation, regarding inadequate medical procedures:“Ability to cure has not kept pace with diagraosis, andtoday we behold the scientific paradox of skilled physicians7sometimes knowing exactly what disease the patient is suffering with, but unable to cure the disease. . . Ability todiagnose, but impotence in curing, is the true status of scientific medicine.
“Clinicians are floundering about in a sea of speculation
and uncertainty concerning cause and cure; and the bestof them declare that autopsies prove that almost half of
their diagnoses are wrong.” (Dr. Charles Mayo, in a radio
broadcast stated that at their clinic, autopsies show that they
get only 20% diagnoses right.)“Every part of the body is represented by a specialist.
The irony of all this professional perfection (?) is summed
up in a few words, namely, diagnosis is an elaborate systemof summing up effects without a scintilla of knowledge of
cause, and treatment is a stupendous scheme of palliation,with braggadocio concerning immunization. But the question will not die down: How is a disease to be prevented or
cured when the cause is unknown? All 400 or more so called
diseases are nothing more than expressions of our generalsystematic derangement—states which I am pleased to nametoxemia, or healing crises. Toxemia is a state of body poisoning—self generated or induced by vaccine serums, drugs
or other poisons.” (Philosophy of Health, by Tilden)
R. T. Trall, M.D., was another doctor who gave the medical method a long and thorough trial before abandoning it
as a failure. He turned to nature and its simplicity and upon
its sound basic laws of healing he brought about miracles ofrecovery from all diseases. After trying to justify the inconsistencies of medical theory he had this to say:
“Why has success in treating disease not kept pace withthe extraordinary progress of knowledge of other sciences?
The answer is ready: A successful practice of the healingart must be based upon the laws of life, the economy ofvitality. The only foundation, therefore, of true healing is8

correct physiological principles; and here is precisely where
the whole orthodox medical system of the present day
fails—utterly and totally fails. It has no physiological andbiological science upon which to truly practice the healing
art.”
These are strong words coming from medical doctors
who know the system thoroughly. Medicine is a paying
game—financially speaking—and for successful practitioners to leave it for the sake of honesty, integrity, andidealism. indicates that these cherished qualities are lacking
in that branch of business.
It is this lack of correct physiological and biologicalprinciples that has enabled the medical profession to foist
such an unscientific delusion as vaccination on the public.
VACCINATION IS BASED ON
A FALSE PREMISE
The false “germ theory” of disease, upon which vaccination
is based, has been the “blind leader of the blind” that has
dragged the medical system and the Impressionable public
deeper into the morass of confusion and disease. (The germ
theory is discussed at length in the chapter titled On Friendly
Terms With Germs in Book II.) However, our present concern, in this chapter, ismerely to point out the instability of the nebulous theoryof “anti-bodies” which is the main prop that holds up thedead corpse of vaccination. In volume 6 of The Hygienic
System, Dr. Herbert M. Shelton brings into sharper focus
this “tricky” subject of anti-bodies. These elusive little
nothings have fooled the people and served the uses of thedoctors but have vanished into theory when subjected tothe clear light of scientific investigation.
Dr. Shelton writes: “The whole of the modern medical
practice of vaccine, serum and antitoxin therapy is based

9upon the supposition that the body manufactures substances called anti-toxins, anti-bodies, antigens, etc., which
are capable of meeting and destroying toxins that get into
the body. The idea seems to be sound, although it is possible that the work of destroying such toxins is that of thedetoxification carried on by the liver, and lymph glands,
etc. Anti-toxins, antibodies, antigens, etc., have never been
isolated. They have only been assumed, while the practicebased upon their assumed existence has been both a failureand disaster. However, this may not be due to their non-existence. If they exist it is impossible to separate them fromthe proteins of the animal’s blood (in making vaccines)
and these proteins when injected directly into the bloodof another animal (or human being) are very poisonous.
Besides this, there is no evidence that the anti-toxins of one
species can be made use of by another species. Where vaccines are employed, it constitutes the introduction of actual
disease matter into the blood. That is, the supposed causitive
germs or some product of the disease is introduced into thebody. The consequences are often terrible. Real benefits arenever observed.
“If the hypothesis that the body manufactures anti-toxins, anti-bodies, etc., is correct it still remains to be proventhat the body ever manufactures these greatly in excess ofthe need for them. It cannot be shown that ‘free’ anti-toxin,
anti-bodies, etc., are suspended in the blood serum andcan therefore be transferred to another animal in sufficientquantities to be of use to the receiving animal. In keepingwith a general law of life, it is very probable that the body
does manufacture an excess of anti-bodies, but it cannot
be shown that it retains these after the need for them hasceased. On the contrary, in keeping with another generallaw of life, it is very probable that the body begins to get
rid of them the very instant the need for them ceases. If

10they exist they are chemical substances produced to meetan emergency and will be cast out as soon as the emergency
ceases to exist.”
The renowned Dr. Antoine Béchamp, one of the world’s
foremost scientists and bacteriologists, observed that the
micro-organisms that are ordinarily called germs, evolveout of decaying cells they helped to build, and take part in
the decomposing of the ever changing life substance andhelp to form it into material usable again by nature. Thus,
when germs are found within a sick body it is not that they
entered from outside and caused the disease. It is because
they developed from the decaying cells within the body andhave an important part to play in helping to handle thewaste and destruction brought about by serums, drugs andother poisons forced upon the body from without. Perhaps
our modern bacteriologists have seen this activity of the“microzymas” and jumped to the conclusion that they are
anti-bodies fighting disease and that they (the doctors) must
inject more of them into the body by way of vaccines. But
anyone with common sense and reasoning can see that thiswould only interfere and disrupt the well organized effortsof nature. This is the reason why vaccination has taken sucha heavy toll of lives and has produced such widespreaddisease.
“Nature makes no mistakes and violates no laws. She isuniformly governed by fixed principles and all her actions
harmonize with the laws that govern these actions.” (The
Hygienic System, p. 48—Shelton)“The best, indeed the only, method of promoting individual and public health is to teach people the laws ofnature and thus teach them how to preserve their health.
Immunization programs are futile and are based on thedelusions that the law of cause and effect can be annulled.
Vaccines and serums are employed as substitutes for right11

living; they are intended to supplant obedience to the lawsof life. Such programs are slaps in the face of law and order.
Belief in immunization is a form of delusional insanity.”(Principles of Natural Healing—p. 478—Shelton)
VACCINATION LOWERS RESISTANCE AND
INVITES DISEASE
Dr. J. W. Hodge had considerable experience with vaccination before he denounced it and wrote a book on hiscollected data. In his book The Vaccination Superstition (p.
41) he states:“After a thorough investigation of the most authentic
records and facts in harmony with the physician’s daily
observations and experiences, the conclusion is drawn thatinstead of protecting its subjects from contagion of smallpox, vaccination actually renders them more susceptible toit. Vaccination is the implantation of disease—that is its
admitted purpose. Health is the ideal state to be sought,
not disease .... Every pathogenic disturbance in the infectedorganism wastes and lowers the vital powers, and thus
diminishes its natural resisting capacity.
“This fact is well known and so universally concededthat it seems superfluous to cite authorities. Nevertheless, I
shall mention one. The International Textbook of Surgery,Vol. 1. p. 263, is authority for the following statement:“‘Persons weakened by disease or worn out by excessive
labor yield more readily to infection that healthy individuals.’“If this is true, it explains why, in various epidemics,
smallpox always attacks the vaccinated first, and why these
diseases continue to infest the civilized world while its allied(unvaccinated) ‘filth diseases ‘ have disappeared before theadvance of civilization, through the good offices of sanitation, hygiene and improved nutrition.”

12

SUMMARIZING THE CASE AGAINSTVACCINATION
Dr. Hodge continues:“After a careful consideration of the history of vaccination gleaned from an impartial and comprehensive study ofvital statistics, and pertinent data from every reliable source
and after an experience derived from having vaccinated3,000 subjects, I am firmly convinced that vaccination cannot be shown to have any logical relation to the diminutionof cases of smallpox, and“1—That the practice of vaccination has been the meansof disseminating some of the most fatal and loathsome diseases, such as leprosy, syphilis, tetanus and tuberculosis;
2—That vaccination is not only useless, but positively
injurious,of protecting its subjects from contagion of smallpox, it
actually renders them more susceptible to it by depressing
the vital power and diminishing natural resistance;
3—That immunity from all diseases is to be realized
through the attainment of health, not by the propagationof disease;“4—That it is never necessary to set up one disease ina healthy organism to protect against another; that suchprocedure is an appalling violation of the basic principles
of hygiene and sanitary science;
5—That the performance of the vaccine operation in
the very nature of the case, violates the cardinal preceptsof modern aseptic surgery, the aim of which is to exclude
the products of disease from the organism, and never tointroduce them;
6—That there is no evidence worthy of the name, on
record, to prove that vaccination either prevents or mitigatessmallpox;
7—That many healthy children have died from the13

effects of vaccination;
8—That millions of vaccinated people have died of confluent smallpox while having the plainest vaccine scars on
their bodies;
9—That smallpox epidemics invariably attack the vaccinated first;
10—That smallpox follows closely upon flagrant violation of the laws of health, hygiene and sanitation;
11—That the occurrence of all the great epidemics ofsmallpox have coincided with periods of sanitary neglect;
12—That cow-pox and venereal-pox have much incommon;13—That the analogy between the manifestations ofvaccine and those of syphilis is so close that several of themost eminent pathologists of the world regard cow-pox asa modified form of syphilis;“14—That the so called, ‘spontaneous cow-pox’ is amyth; that cow-pox is a disorder not natural to the cow;that it never occurs in bulls or steers, nor in young heifers
that have never been milked; that it is a disease of milk cows,
which has been communicated to them from sores on handsof milkers who were suffering from syphilis;“15—That the serious killer diseases such as cancer,
syphilis, heart trouble, polio, tuberculosis, etc., will neverbe eliminated as long as blood pollution through vaccination is continued;“16—That the community that has sanitary surroundings, a pure water supply, wholesome food, good health andfreedom from the blood-poisoning effects of vaccination,need have no fear of smallpox or any other diseases;“17—That no man can be truly said to be susceptible tothe contagion of smallpox or to that of any other disease
so long as he is in a state of perfect health;“18—That such a state resists and repels the assaults of14

all morbific influences and is therefore the best protective
against disease;“19—That vaccination has utterly failed to fulfill thepromises made for it by Edward Jenner and his followers andthat he saddled a legacy of disease and death upon the race
for which he was paid $150,000 by the British government;“20—That compulsory vaccination ranks with humanslavery and religious persecution, as one of the most flagrant
outrages upon the rights of the human race.”“21—That Switzerland, England, Australia and otherenlightened countries abolished compulsory vaccination
after it was tested and proved to be disastrous; but laws
sanctioning this crime still disgrace the statute books of“free” America.
“22—That reforms are not made by those who profit bythem so the doctors or the government cannot be depended
upon to abolish vaccination of their own volition; that thepeople, themselves, must rise up and make demands for freedom from this curse of greed, ignorance and destruction,for only then can we hope to see the light of a new day ofhealth, progress and harmonious adjustment.

CHAPTER 2
SMALLPOX DECLINED BEFORE VACCINATIONWAS ENFORCED“To mistake inferences or axioms for facts has been a curseof science.”—Sir Clifford Albutt, in “Nature.”
The simple fact that we have less smallpox now than we
did 200 years ago, does not in any degree prove that vaccination caused this decline, although the promoters ofvaccination have taken upon themselves the full credit forthis improvement.
The most noticeable decrease in smallpox and otherzymotic diseases began with the sanitation reforms just prior
to 1800 and the improvement in nutrition brought about
by such health crusaders as Trail, Graham and Jennings
around 1840.
This sanitation and health improvement program
included: (1) Sewage disposal, (2) cleaning of streets, backyards, stables, etc., (3) improvement of roads so that fresh
vegetables, milk and other vital foods could be transported
rapidly to the cities and distributed while still fresh. (4) The
water supply was improved and protected from contamination. (5) Housing projects were built out in the suburbs torelieve congestion of population in the cities.
The nutritional teachings stressed natural whole grain
bread instead of white bread, fresh fruits and vegetables freefrom salt, sugar, chemicals and other harmful preservatives
and the rejection of coffee, tea, alcohol, tobacco, drugs andother drastic poisons. Meat and other low grade proteins
were denounced in favor of nuts, beans and other such proteins with more health value and less toxic effects.
The age-old “terror diseases” such as plague, black16

death, cholera, etc., that were previously believed to be contagious, responded at once to this health program and soon
declined to the vanishing point in countries that adopted thesanitation and nutrition improvements. They are diseasesof nutritional deficiency and imbalance just the same as allother diseases.
A glance at the following table of official statistics fromEngland and Wales shows us how smallpox deaths declined
only after the people began their opposition to the vaccination law and an ever increasing number refused to be
vaccinated.

Here we see that at the time when nearly all (96.5%) of
the babies were vaccinated, smallpox caused almost 4,000
deaths in that 10 year period; but, when the vaccinations
were resisted until only 39% would submit to it, the deathrate dropped down to only 1.4 cases.

17

Before the passage of England’s compulsory vaccination law in 1853, the highest authentic smallpox death-rate
was only 2,000 for any two year period, even during theirmost serious smallpox epidemics; whereas, after almost 20
years of compulsory vaccination there occurred the mostdevastating scourge of smallpox in 1870 to 1871 that theworld has ever known. It took 23,062 lives in England andWales and spread over Europe in all the countries where
vaccination and inoculation had been practiced on a large
scale. After that the vaccination laws were enforced evenmore rigidly until the people began to notice that smallpox
was not decreasing by this practice but continued to ravage
the homes of the vaccinated. During the same epidemic in
Germany 124,948 people died of smallpox. All had been
vaccinated (according to their carefully kept records.) “In
Berlin alone no less that 17,038 persons had smallpox after
vaccination, and 2,884 of them died.”
In Sheffield, England where 97 per cent of her 200,000
inhabitants had been thoroughly and frequently vaccinatedfor many years a smallpox epidemic swept the city in 1887
that caused 7,101 cases and 648 deaths.
Preceding this, the large manufacturing town of
Leicester, (England) which had been even more thoroughly
vaccinated up to the time of the 1870 epidemic was thehardest hit of all the communities with over 3,500 deaths
per million in the first year of the epidemic. This completely
destroyed their faith in vaccination and the rich and poor
alike rejected it and adopted sanitation with the result that
smallpox epidemics were soon eliminated from that city.

18

STATEMENTS OF HEALTH OFFICIALSREGARDING VACCINATED SMALLPOXSir Thomas Chambers, Q.C.M.P., recorder of the city of
London said:“I find that of the 155 persons admitted to the Smallpox
Hospital in the Parish of St. James, Piccadilly, 145 had been
vaccinated.”
In Marylevore Hospital 92 per cent of the smallpox
cases had been vaccinated.
Marson’s report of Highgate Hospital for 1871 states
that, “of the 950 cases of smallpox, 870 (90%) of the whole
number of patients had been vaccinated.”
At Hempstead Hospital, up to May 13, 1884, out of
2,965 admissions for smallpox, 2,347 had been vaccinated.
After these vaccination epidemics, more and more people refused to comply with the unjust vaccination laws andas a result of this and the improvements in sanitation andnutrition, smallpox took a drop and continued to decline
until it is rarely seen at the present time.
“In 1942 one case of smallpox at Seindon (Britain)
resulted in the vaccination of a large number of people.
Only three cases of smallpox occurred and these all recovered, but 12 vaccinated individuals died from inflammationof the brain. (This is a common after effect of vaccination.)In the same year near Edinburg, Scotland, eight people diedof smallpox (six of which had been vaccinated) while ten
died from the effects of the vaccination. .
“I would not go so far as to say that vaccination has neversaved a person from smallpox. It is a matter of record thatthousands of the victims of this superstitious rite have beensaved from smallpox by the immunizing potency of death.
But it is a fact that the official statistics of England and Wales
show unmistakably that, while vaccination has killed tentimes more people than smallpox, there has been a decrease19

in smallpox concomitant with the decrease in vaccination. . . It
might be appropriately asked, in the words of the Vaccination
Inquirer (London, Feb. 1947) ‘How could an operation thatwas declining be responsible for the extermination of smallpox?” (Vaccine and Serum Evils, p. 23, by Dr. H. M. Shelton)
UNVACCINATED DISEASES DECLINED FASTER
THAN VACCINATED SMALLPOX
Records in all countries show that the so-called, contagious
diseases declined quite rapidly with the introduction of sanitation and nutrition reforms, with the exception of smallpox
and diphtheria which were kept active by vaccination in alarge number of authenticated cases. The following condensed records from various countries give a cross sectionof the available evidence that bears out this point.
REPORT FROM BRITISH INDIA
In 1929 while India was still under British rule with its compulsory vaccination laws, the League of Nations’ Health
League referred to India as, “the greatest center of smallpox in the world today.” The records show that in the large
cities where vaccination enforcement was most rigid “thesmallpox death rate has been generally far greater than forthe country as a whole” where complete enforcement is notpossible.
The report of the League of Nations’ Health Division
for Oct. 1953 reluctantly admits vaccination is not all it
ought to be when it says in part: “In spite of the great efforts
made by the health authorities in promoting vaccination,
smallpox is not on the point of extinction.”
After the limited health improvement programs we findthat the plagues and scourges, all declined noticeably except
smallpox and respiratory diseases (tuberculosis) which is acommon after effect of vaccination.

Edward Jenner had promised that vaccination would
wipe out instead, all other diseases, even the most persistentand deadly more rapidly without any serums than did smallpox with its repeated vaccinations.
Around 1900, after the improvements in health due tosanitation and nutrition had had time to be weighed againstthat of vaccination, most of the people of England began
to refuse vaccination, which resulted in a greater decline
in smallpox, but in certain cities of India the British government was still able to keep up rigid enforcement. The
following chart shows the high smallpox death-rate in threeof these Indian cities as compared to the decreased deathrate in London after the clean up (health) campaign:21

WORLD’S WORST RECORD IN MEXICO
Although India was reported by the League of Nations
as the greatest center of smallpox in the world in 1929 it
has improved since gaining its freedom from Britain andrelaxing its vaccination enforcement program. This leaves
the over vaccinated country of Mexico holding the dubious
honor as the world’s worst smallpox center.
The following chart shows the comparison between
Mexico with its sparse population of 16,500,000 (1930 figures—approx.) and British India with its dense, congested
population (300,000,000—approx.) In spite of the disease
breeding conditions of India’s cities with inadequate sanitation, nutrition and housing facilities and the polluted water,lack of sewers, extreme heat, etc., the smallpox death rate is
far lower than that of completely vaccinated Mexico.

This black record could exist only in a country where
vaccination laws are rigidly enforced. The Mexican law
prescribes:“(1) Children must be vaccinated within four monthsof birth.
(2) One compulsory vaccination and one compulsory
re-vaccination for all inhabitants, within the time limits andin the manner and under the conditions specified by the
Public Health Council.
(3) All persons are obliged to have themselves re-vaccinated at least once every five years, and may be required to23

do so more frequently whenever the health authorities sodetermine.
(4) The Army Medical Service vaccinates all soldiers.
Employees in commercial, industrial, etc., establishments
must have all persons in their employ vaccinated within thetime-limits laid down.”
In spite of the constant recurrence of smallpox epidemics cultivated by vaccination, this medical dictatorship
continues to rule with an iron hand. If the Mexicans were
not a hardy people by nature they would have been destroyedby this time reduced to imbecility, by this continuous blood
poisoning practice.
In Jenner’s day, smallpox was practically unknown in
Mexico for which he promptly claimed the credit. In 1811
Jenner wrote to Dr. Lettson as follows:“For the great and grand effects of vaccination the eye
must quit this little spot (England) and survey it among
other European countries and still more particularly among
the vast empires of Asia and America. In Mexico and Peru
the disease is nearly extinct.
Jenner didn’t wait around to see the results of his terrible invention. Even he admits that smallpox was almost
unknown when he started his work of destruction. Today,
vaccination has so intensified the development of smallpox
that all vaccinated Mexicans have either had it or are indanger of getting it.
Mexico has had the good sense to abolish the barbarous
practice of capital punishment and the cruel and uselesspractice of vivisection which puts that country a step aheadof United States in that respect. It is to be hoped that thosepeople who fought so hard for freedom and democracy
will also be able to throw off the heavy yoke of medical
oppression.

EVIDENCE FROM ITALY
Dr. Charles Ruta, professor of Materia Medica at Perugia
University, Italy, presents some interesting figures comparing the smallpox deaths of the vaccinated soldiers with thewomen and boys outside the armed services. Vaccination isstressed in that country (which accounts for the high smallpox rate among all ages) but more thoroughly enforced in
the Army. The boys are inducted at the age of 20 years. The
figures show the death-rate from smallpox is about twice
as high among men over 20 (soldiers) as among women of
the same age.

Dr. Ruta traced the records for many years following thispublished record and the results continued with the samehigh death-rate among the completely vaccinated soldiers andwith the lower death-rate among the rest of the population.

Although England was the first country to adopt compulsory vaccination laws her people soon found it was adisastrous practice and fought to have the law abolished.
About the time of the First World War the English people had succeeded enough in resisting the law to notice a
considerable decrease in small-pox, aided of course by thesanitation program. Germany and Italy were still trying toenforce vaccination on the entire population. The following

HIGH SMALLPOX RATEIN VACCINATED EGYPTThe League of Nations’ Monthly Health report for October
15, 1929, gives a report on Egypt with an effort toward justifying the re-occurring smallpox epidemics in spite of thecompulsory vaccination laws. However, the “whitewash”
doesn’t cover the inefficacy of this useless practice. The
report states:“In Egypt, vaccination is compulsory under the Decreeof 1890 …. Penalties are provided for infringements …. It
has not been found possible as yet to enforce vaccination

26

everywhere, and smallpox continues to claim a fair numberof victims every year. The last great epidemic broke out in
1919 and extended into 1920. More than five and a half
million persons were vaccinated during these two years, andthis completely arrested the spread of the epidemic. In 1921,
the number of cases had gone down to 92 as compared with
7,895 in 1919 and 3,004 in 1920.”
The epidemic wore itself out in two years and the vaccinators claimed that it was the serum that arrested it. If
vaccination could arrest an epidemic at all, it should certainly do it in less than two years. If there had been no
vaccination at all there would have been a much lower smallpox rate as is proved by world records where the facts are
not falsified.
The fact that there was less smallpox the following year
was no proof that vaccination curbed it. Isn’t it quite logicalthat all those who were in a condition to develop it did so
during the long two year epidemic, so there would not bemany to contract it the following year?
The following report put out by the League of Nations’Health (?) department is a typical example of how the medical schemers influence the average, unthinking person withdata that appears to be true and convincing.
“Northern Africa—As vaccination progresses, the mostremarkable success is being achieved in Egypt which in 1926
had 2,677 cases with 544 deaths. But in 1930 it (smallpox)
caused only 14 cases without deaths .... This is undoubtedly
due to the vaccination campaign begun at the end of 1925
and completed in 1926. Approximately 14,600,000 vaccinations were performed, thus reaching practically the whole
population.”
Here we have a number of statements that are hard toreconcile with known facts. For instance:(1) In June 1925, the population of Egypt was estimated27

to be 13,964,900 yet the report said they gave 14,660,000
vaccinations. Since there are more vaccinations reported
than people, either the figures are fabricated or the vaccinators didn’t really believe in vaccination and knew it would
not protect for even one year so they re-vaccinated thousands of people with the vain hope that the repetition of
failure would in some way reap success.
(2) In the first report they blamed the frequent outbreaksof smallpox on the claim that it was impossible to enforce
vaccination on all the people. Yet their figures in the second
record showed the number of vaccinations exceeded the
population.
(3) The first report stated that their widespread vaccination campaign in 1920 which reached 5,500,000 people hadcompletely arrested smallpox and the following report of1931 made it clear that the complete and thorough vaccination campaign succeeded in conquering smallpox, even to
the point where there were no deaths at all from that cause.
This type of propaganda has a tendency to lull the people
into a sense of false security which leaves the real cause of
disease unchecked. Let’s follow the record a little farther
and see what happened.
The five and a half million vaccinations in 1920 were
supposed to have brought smallpox under control, yet in
1926 (only 6 years later) the second report tells of a sweeping smallpox epidemic in which 2,677 were stricken and
544 died.
In spite of the 5,500,000 vaccinations in 1920 and the
14,600,000 vaccination in 1926 and all the vaccinations in
the intervening years, including the compulsory vaccinations of all infants, there occurred another larger and moreterrible smallpox epidemic in 1932 (only 6 years after the
alleged complete control of smallpox in Egypt). This sweeping epidemic continued for two years, aggravated, of course,28

by the meddling vaccinators. By the end of 1934, 7,650 cases
had been reported of which 1,373 had died. Where is theremarkable success of vaccination boasted of by the medical
faction of the League of Nations?
“These figures speak for themselves and eloquently
proclaim the utter futility of vaccination as a preventive
or mitigant of smallpox.” (Joseph Swan—The Vaccination
Problem—p.291.)
LEAGUE OF NATIONS HEALTH COMMITTEEIN THE DARKIn their monthly Epidemiological Report (RE 132) dated
Nov 15, 1929, this one time great organization revealed its
biased confusion on health matters by stating:‘It will therefore be plain that, if the conclusions areto be accepted, and allowing for individual peculiarities,
re-vaccination should be repeated, three or four years atleast, or even more often.”
Joseph Swan comments on this in his book The
Vaccination Problem page 288 by saying ‘All these demands
for frequent re-vaccination may be to an absurdity by askinga simple question—’How is it that in England, abandonment of even primary vaccination by approximately half
the parents during the past 25 years, and the almost entire
neglect of re-vaccination at any age, have been accompaniedby the lowest smallpox mortality rate on record?”
After smallpox vaccination was found to be so financially profitable doctors and serum manufacturers, serums
for other diseases were invented and enforced with the samefinancial increase but also with the same decrease in theelimination of the disease. Diphtheria is one of the mostnotable examples of this.
The following table is one of the many records that show
how the unvaccinated diseases declined more rapidly than29

those that were supposed to be wiped out or controlled by
vaccines. (This report was compiled before serums were
invented for the other diseases shown.)

Here we see that measles decreased 94.1 per cent during
this period; scarlet fever decreased 99.7 per cent; whooping
cough decreased 91 per cent while diphtheria, the disease
that was supposed to be conquered by serum immunization
decreased only 88.8 per cent which was the least of all. If left
alone it would have declined at the same rate as the others,
or even faster because it was the least prevalent.
It will be noted that in 1861 diphtheria was the least
fatal of the children’s diseases. But according to this reportof the Ministry of Health, the 1948 record shows it to haveincreased to the second most deadly of the children killers
with its 105 deaths per million, while whooping cough was
only slightly higher with 121 deaths.
Another report issued by the British Ministry of Healthgives the diphtheria death-rate from among 4,000,000

30children who were not immunized. It gives a five year period(1945 to 1949) in which the diphtheria death-rate declined
from 551 cases in 1945 down to 63 in 1949. What caused thisphenomenal drop of 87 per cent in only five years when therecord of immunized children showed a decline of only 88
per cent in an 87 year period of immunization? The credit
cannot be claimed by the serum makers because these children were not “protected” (?) by any vaccines.
The Ministry of Health attributed the rapid decline ofthe other diseases, to improvements in sanitation, nutrition,
housing, education and social conditions, but diphtheria andsmallpox were claimed to have declined because of “prophylactics.” If vaccination and immunization were preventivesof smallpox and diphtheria they should at least keep pacewith the decline of other diseases.
IMMUNIZATION INCREASED DIPHTHERIAIN SOME COUNTRIES
Although France had rejected immunization after seeing
the disasters that followed its use she was pressured into
submitting to it after German occupation. By 1941 mostof the French children had been inoculated after which thediphtheria incidence rose to 13,795 by the end of that year.
By 1943, diphtheria had increased to 46,750.
At the beginning of the Second World War immunization was made compulsory in Germany and the diphtheria
rate soared up to 150,000 cases (1939) while in unvaccinatedNorway there were only 50 cases.
Space in this chapter does not permit the reviewing of
the numerous records that condemn immunization. Moreon this subject will be given in the chapter on Diphtheria
and Immunization in Book II.

DECLINE OF VACCINATIONIN UNITED STATESThe over-all picture for United States has been toward a
steady decline in smallpox since the gradual abandonmentof vaccination laws in the various states. Only a few of themore backward states and some of the medically dominatedinstitutions and businesses still impose compulsory vaccination laws on the people. In 1902 when vaccination wasendorsed by the majority, the death-rate from smallpox was
2,121. By 1910, vaccination disasters had caused it to losefavor to such an extent that the smallpox death-rate dropped
down to 202. The serum makers used the frenzy of the FirstWorld War to work up a nation wide vaccination campaignthat raised the smallpox death-rate up to 358 (1919) andby 1921 it had increased to 642. When the people began tonotice that the vaccinated were the ones who suffered theworst from smallpox and flu (an after effect of vaccination)
they lost faith in it to a large extent and by 1927 the deaths
dropped down to 138 where it has been fluctuating every
since.
In contrast to our diminished smallpox rate underoptioned vaccination we have an excellent example ofcompulsory vaccination in our (U.S.) dominated Philippine
Islands. In a 10 year period (1911-1920) 24,436,889 vaccinations were given which resulted in 75,339 deaths. Before
vaccination was introduced the highest death-rate in thePhilippines, even during epidemics was only 10 per cent of
the population. After many years of thorough vaccination
and re-vaccination the death-rate rose to 74 per cent which is
the highest in history. In United States (1919) when vaccination was indifferently accepted, the death rate from smallpox
was only 358, while in the Philippines (1919) under strict
vaccination enforcement the death-rate from this cause was
18,213. In 1920 in vaccinated Italy, the smallpox death-rate

32

was 12,155 as compared to only 508 in United States during
the same period.
In spite of these cold facts and thousands of others like
them, the promoters of vaccines insist that vaccination has
been a blessing to the world and has reduced disease. This
all goes to prove the old saying that figures can’t lie but liars
can figure.
INOCULATE THE DOCTORS
Inoculate for small-pox
Inoculate for mumps;
Inoculate for typhoid
For colds and nervous slumps;
Inoculate with cow pus
And germs of every brand
Inoculate with monkey glands
To make us young again.
But one fine day the laity
Will move in self-defense
To inoculate the doctors
With a little common sense.

CHAPTER 3
VACCINATION HIT BY DOCTORS
It often happens that the universal belief of one age—abelief which no one was, not without an extraordinary effortof genius and courage could, at that time be free—becomesto a subsequent age so palpable an absurdity that the only
difficulty, then, is to imagine how such a thing can ever haveappeared credible.—John Stuart Mill.
From its inception down to the present time vaccination
has been denounced as dangerous, disease producing andeven deadly, by all thinking doctors who have investigated
the facts and have had the courage to voice them.
A few of these published statements from prominent
doctors are presented here:
From Dr. Alexander Wilder, Editor of the New York
Medical Times, Professor of Pathology in the United States
Medical College of New York and author of Wilder’sHistory of Medicine, we have this observation:“Vaccination is the infusion of contaminating element
into the system, and after such contamination you cannever be sure of regaining the former purity of the body.
Consumption follows in the wake of vaccination as certainlyas effect follows cause.”
Dr. Walter M. James of Philadelphia says:“Vaccination does not stay the spread of smallpox nor
even modify it in those who get it after vaccination. It does
introduce into the system, and therefore contributes to the
spread of, tuberculosis, cancer and even leprosy. It tends
to make more virulent epidemics of smallpox and to makethem more extensive. It does just what inoculation did cause the spread of disease.”

34

Dr. Kalb, Royal Examiner of Statistics for Bavaria,
states:“Examination shows vaccination a complete failure.
In this single year, 3,994 vaccinated people died of smallpox; the total number attacked exceeded 29,000.” (All were
vaccinated.)
Dr. L Hall Bakewell, Vaccinator General of Trinidad
said:“I have very little faith in Vaccination even as modifying the disease, and none at all as a protective in virulent
epidemics. Personally, I contracted smallpox less than six
months after a most severe re-vaccination.”
This doctor was in the vaccination business; his livelihood depended on it and he wanted to believe in it. In
Trinidad where vaccination was compulsory he had ample
opportunity to observe the full effects of it on a large scale,
yet he voluntarily denounced the practice as a failure.
Dr. L C. Carter of London reports:“In looking over the history of vaccination for smallpox,
I am amazed to learn of the terrible deaths from vaccination,
amputations of arms and legs, foot and mouth disease, tetanus (1ockjaw), septicemia (blood poisoning), cerebro-spinal
meningitis.”
Dr. J. C. Ward M.R.C.S. at Harrogate, (England) among
many others confesses to a change of heart on the vaccination question in this statement:“I believed that vaccination prevented smallpox. I
believed that if it did not absolutely prevent it in every
case, it modified the disease in some cases, and I believedthat re-vaccination, if only frequent enough, gave absolute
immunity. Experience has driven all that out of my head;I have seen vaccinated persons get smallpox, and persons
who had been vaccinated get smallpox, and I have seen those
who had had smallpox get it a second time and die of it.”35

Professor Adolf Vogt, who held the chair of vital
Statistics and Hygiene in Berne University for 17 years said:“After collecting the particulars of 400,000 cases ofsmall pox I am compelled to admit that my belief in vaccination is absolutely destroyed.”
Dr. Charles E. Page of Boston said:“I have been a regular practitioner of medicine in
Boston for 33 years. I have studied the question of vaccination conscientiously for 45 years. As for vaccination asa preventative of disease, there is not a scrap of evidence
in its favor. Injection of virus into the pure bloodstream ofthe people does not prevent Smallpox. Rather, it tends toincrease its epidemics and makes the disease more deadly.
Of this we have indisputable proof. In our country (U.S.)
cancer mortality has increased from 9 per 100,000 to 80 per
100,000 or fully 900 per cent increase, within the past 50
years, and no conceivable thing could have caused this but
the universal blood poisoning now existing.”
Dr. Forbes Laurie says:“I can add my testimony to the others . . . that vaccination contributes to the great increase in cancer.
GOVERNOR HAS SUSPICIONS
Hon. Percival P. Baxter, Governor of Maine (1924) stated:“Personally I have grave doubts as to the efficacy ofmodern serums and vaccines and am convinced that commercialism has exercised a considerable influence upon somephases of modern medicine.”
Dr. William Howard Hay of Buffalo, New York said:“We have no proof of the boasted effectiveness of any formof anti-toxin, vaccine or serum. The true figures on vaccination for smallpox have never gotten before the public,
though they can be seen in the files of the various departments of the Army as well as the government, if one cares to36

look for them. If the record of vaccination in the Philippines
alone were ever to become a matter of general knowledge
it would finish vaccination in the whole country, at least
among those who are able to read and think for themselves.
After three years of the most rigid vaccination, when every
Philippino had been vaccinated from one to six times, there
occurred the severest epidemic of smallpox that the Islands
had ever seen, with a death-rate running in places to over 70
per cent, and in all, well over 60,000 deaths. Is it any wonder
the public is getting a little suspicious of us and our vaunted‘medical discoveries?’ The wonder to me is that there arestill millions of them willing to submit to vaccination andserum treatment.”
Alfred Russell Wallace D.D. who spent many years
doing research all over the world, collecting data on bothsides of the vaccination question had this to say:
“While utterly powerless for good, vaccination is acertain cause of disease and death in many cases and is
the probable cause of about 10,000 deaths annually inEngland, by five diseases of the most terrible and disgusting character.”
L F. Cornell, M.D., President of the Homeopathic
Medical Society of New York said: (1868)
It is my firm conviction that vaccination has been a curse
instead of a blessing to the race. Every physician knows that
cutaneous (pertaining to the skin) diseases have increasedin frequency, severity, and variety to an alarming extent.
To what is this increase owing? Contagion may account forsome of the varieties; in a large majority, however, to no
medium of transmission is the wide spread dissemination ofthis class of diseases so largely indebted as to vaccination.”
Dr. E. M. Ripley, of Unionville, Connecticut, stated ina public address delivered in New Britain, Connecticut:“Never in the history of medicine has there been37

produced so false a theory, such fraudulent assumptions,such disastrous and damning results as have followed thepractice of vaccination; it is the ultima thule (extremity) oflearned quackery, and lacks, and has ever lacked, the faintest
shadow of a scientific basis. The fears of the people havebeen played upon as to the dangers of smallpox and the sureprevention by vaccination, until nearly the whole civilized
world has become physically corrupted by its practice.
“The life-blood of nations has become the cesspool ofvaccinators wherein they have poured the foul excretions
that are thrown off from diseased beasts, nature adjudging
it too vile to contaminate the system of any living creature.
Scrofula, that hydra-headed monster of pathology,
whose ramifications extend into and complicate nearly all
the diseases that flesh is heir to, and whose victims are as
the sands of the seashore in number, is one of the oldest
children of vaccine poisoning.
“Syphilis, that disreputable disorder, that sinks its
victims below the scale of decency, and hounds them todishonorable graves, has been carried by the vaccinator’sneedle into the homes of the innocent and virtuous, andthere, with consequent suffering that defies the imaginationof man to depict.”
Dr. J. Peebles (M.D., Ph.D.) in his book Vaccination A
Curse and A Menace To Personal Liberty wrote:“When a mad dog enters a community and bites a child,the whole population rises up and demands the death of thecreature, and desires that all available means be immediately
used to eliminate from the system of the child the virus thathas been so cruelly inserted. The action of the people in thiscase is a very natural one; but let me tell you that where tile
bite of a mad dog has caused death in one case, the maddoctor with his calf-lymph and poisoned needle has caused
tens of thousands of deaths.

38

“Vaccination is the most outrageous insult that can beoffered to any pure-minded man or woman. It is the boldest
and most impious attempt to mar the works of God that has
been attempted for ages. The stupid blunder of doctor-craft
has wrought all the evil that it ought, and it is time that free
American citizens arise in their might and blot out the whole
blood-poisoning business.”
Dr. Thomas Morgan, in his Medical Delusions (page6) writes:“At the present time, the medical profession prescribes
innumerable poisons, such as arsenic, strychnine, morphine,
mercury and other destructive drugs that ruin the health of
the human race . . . and the greatest of all delusions is theGerm Theory, and the consequent introduction of serum
therapy, with its various antitoxins“Notwithstanding the fact that these medical delusions
have been the cause of more injury and death than pestilence, famine and war combined, the medical doctors haveagreed to meet each other half way, on the common groundof self-interest, for the purpose of formulating and enforcing
the tyrannical laws to prevent anyone outside their ring frompracticing medicine.”
The following public confession was made by J. W.
Hodge M. D. of Niagara Falls, New York:“To affirm that there never has been any scientificwarranty for a belief in the alleged protective virtues ofvaccination and that its practice is backed by ignorance andindifference, is a sorry charge to make against the medical
profession ... but the charge, I regret to say is only too true.
I know whereof I affirm, for I, too, must plead guilty of
the charge. Before discovering my mistake I had vaccinatedmore than 3,000 victims, ignorantly supposing the disease I
was propagating to be a preventative of smallpox. Having
taken for granted what my teachers had asserted, I was a39staunch believer in the alleged efficacy of vaccination as aprophylactic against smallpox. I remained in this blind andblissful state of ignorance for several years, and not until
I acquired a little experience in the school of observation
and reflection did I discover that my faith was pinned to ashameful fraud.
“The first real eye-opener I received upon the subject
was while I was practicing my profession in Lockport. At
that time (1902) smallpox made its appearance in this cityand soon attained the proportions of an epidemic. At theoutbreak of the disease more vaccinations were ordered by
the Department of Health and I was officially appointed
Public Vaccinator. My duty was to go from house to houseand vaccinate all persons who could not present recent vaccination scars on their bodies, and to re-vaccinate all those
who could not give assurance of having been vaccinatedwithin a period of two years.
“Just before and during the prevalence of this epidemic
I vaccinated nearly 3,000 victims, using the so-called “purecalf-lymph” obtained every third day ‘fresh’ from the vaccine farm of the New York City Board of Health. Much to
the disgust of the people, and more my own surprise andchagrin, I was confronted with a large number of cases ofvaccinal erysipelas, as well as several cases of phlegmonous
axillary abscesses following as results of vaccination. This
is not all; a number of those vaccinated were attacked withconfluent smallpox at periods varying from twelve days tothree weeks, after having been rendered ‘immune’ (?) by
vaccination.
“These astounding facts, so contrary to my preconceived notions about vaccination and smallpox, I could notaccount for and they confused me as I was not able to see
where the ‘protection’ came in.
“With Pascal, I ‘considered the affirmation of facts more40

powerful than assertions of men’. I then began a careful
study of the relations existing between smallpox and vaccination, with the ultimate result that I was forced to entirely
abandon all faith in the medical dogma of vaccinal protection against smallpox. During the epidemic, I had under
my inspection 28 smallpox patients, all of whom, with one
exception, had been ‘successfully’ vaccinated. Several ofthese patients had been re-vaccinated before contracting
the disease.
“Thus I was forced, through the stern logic of disagreeable facts, to the unwelcome conclusion that vaccination
had not protected these victims of smallpox.
“After the revelations of this dismal experience haddawned upon me I determined to make a careful study ofthe printed data on vaccination. After a thorough investigation of the statistics of smallpox epidemiology collectedfrom various parts of the world, I was treated to anothergreat surprise, namely, the world’s greatest statisticians on
smallpox and vaccination fully corroborated the experiencethat I had met with in the Lockport epidemic.
“Previous to this disappointing experience I had read
only the usual literature on the subject, found in libraries
and medical schools. I had heard only the “expert” (onesided) testimony of the pro-vaccinists. I knew but one sideof the question and was like the one of whom John StuartMill spoke, when he stated:‘He who knows only his own side of the case knows
little of that.’“After a careful study of the history of vaccination andthe extensive experience in its use, I am thoroughly convinced that:“(1) Vaccination is utterly useless as a preventive against
smallpox, that millions of vaccinated persons have died ofsmallpox.

41

“(2) The practice of this degrading rite is enforced bydoctors as a dogma without being understood; that likeother infamous dogma it is good only for “fees”“(3) Inoculation as unanimously believed in and practiced by the “regular” doctors for 100 years was guilty ofmultiplying smallpox....
“( 4) Smallpox epidemics were checked by cessation of
inoculation and not by the introduction of vaccination.
“(5) Smallpox continued to increase under vaccination
until sanitation and improved nutrition came into moregeneral use.
“(6) Health measures have controlled smallpox, andvaccination has claimed the credit.
“(7) Vaccination protects from smallpox only when it
kills the patient before smallpox develops.
“(8) Vaccination has been the means of disseminating(spreading) consumption, cancer, syphilis, and many otherfatal and loathsome diseases.
“(9) Tuberculosis is a disease common to cattle and tohuman beings and has frequently been conveyed by vaccination from the former to the latter, by way of vaccination.
“(10) Edward Jenner saddled a legacy of disease anddeath on the human race and incidentally made $150,000
by the transaction.
“(11) Many doctors and some editors are making money
by propagating this curse. (vaccination)“(12) Vaccination is called ‘successful’ when it succeeds
in making healthy people diseased.
“(13) Disease as the result of vaccination is the logicalharvest from the seed sown.
“(14) Vaccination has no scientific basis upon which torest its claims and no analogy in any ascertained principle
or law in nature.
“(15) The so called ‘spontaneous cow-pox’ (from which42

vaccine is made) is a myth; the disease so named, being
tubercular or syphilitic in its nature.
“(16) When vaccination kills its victims the facts aresuppressed and the death certificates name other diseases
as the cause.
“(17) Compulsory vaccination has been abolished inEngland, Switzerland, and certain other countries, whilelaws sustaining this crime still disgrace the statute books ofmany states in free (?) America.
“(18) Vaccination is one of the foulest blots on the
escutcheon of the ‘noble art of healing.’”43

CHAPTER 4
THE HISTORY OF VACCINATION“A mere assumption of belief unsupported by demonstrable
facts is always open to criticism. It is easy to be carriedaway by the beauty of an ideal or entranced by theoverwhelming appeal of a pet delusion .... We have, hadmuch to learn but even more to unlearn. Many thinkthey are thinking constructively when they are merely
rearranging their prejudices.” —George S. Weger, M.D.
WHO STARTED VACCINATION AND WHY
It has been claimed, by an unenlightened few, that vaccination is based on scientific principles and is of comparatively
recent origin. But these claims have been proved false, first,
because inoculation was practiced and abandoned as uselessby primitive tribes many centuries ago, and second because
Jenner and the modern experimenters in vaccination were
not scientists and did not test and prove their theories by any
scientific criteria before launching the hazardous practiceon the public.
For many years Edward Jenner was acclaimed a herofor what was thought to be his discovery of cow-pox
vaccination. But this dubious honor was later admitted
to belong to Benjamin Jesty, whom all the chroniclers
name as the one responsible for the original discovery of
cow-pox inoculation. Jesty, a farmer, Plett, a teacher andJensen, a farmer, were named as ‘successful experimenters”
in the field of cow-pox vaccination several years before
Jenner’s first inoculation These and all subsequent vaccination experiments were then, and still are, haphazard
and unscientific attempts at solving the problem of disease
prevention.

44

Before we trace the ancient history of vaccination let
us review some of the outstanding authorities who recognized that:VACCINATION IS NOT SCIENTIFIC
Many of the world’s greatest thinkers, scientists, statesmen
and even doctors have condemned vaccination as being acrime against humanity, a fraud promoted for private gain,
an insult to the race and a blot upon the name of civilization
Yet, this treacherous practice of blood pollution, which wascradled in the lap of ignorant savage tribes, has been adoptedby, supposedly, enlightened government of the present day
and forced on the protesting population—for profit.
M.M. Gernerd in his book “The Vaccination Imposture”
says:“Vaccination is not in any sense scientific; doctors neverknow what the result will be in any case; they don’t absolutely know that it ever prevented smallpox; they never know
when they have pure vaccine; the practice is born of puresuperstition; and it has been a breeder of many kindred
fallacies.”
Florence Nightingale, the world’s most famous nurse
and an authority on smallpox by right of extensive experience, said:“Everyone who knows anything about public healthquestions will agree to the practical unity of epidemics, andthe determining causes, and that exemption from ... diseasemust be sought not by any one thing, such as vaccination,
but by inquiring into and removing the causes of epidemic
susceptibility generally.”
Alfred Russell Wallace, in his famous book, The
Wonderful Century (p. 314) says:“The successive Vaccination Acts were passed by meansof allegations which were wholly untrue, and promises

45

which have all been unfulfilled. They stand alone in modern legislation as a gross interference with personal liberty
and the sanctity of the home; while as an attempt to cheatoutraged nature, and to avoid a symbiotic disease without
getting rid of the foul conditions that produce or propagate
it, the practice of vaccination is utterly opposed to the wholeteaching of sanitary science, and is one of those terrible
blunders which, in their far-reaching evil consequences, areworse than the greatest of crimes.”
Among our best authoritative sources of information
are the actual government records showing the
INCREASED DEATH-RATE AFTERVACCINATION WAS ESTABLISHED
The report of Dr. William Farr, Compiler of Statistics of
the Registrar-General, London states:“Smallpox attained its maximum mortality after vaccination was introduced …. The mean annual (smallpox)
mortality to 10,000 population from 1850 to 1869 was at therate of (only) 2.04, whereas (after compulsory vaccination)in 1871 the death rate was 10.24 and in 1872 the death rate
was 8.33, and this after the most laudable efforts to extend
vaccination by legislative enactments.”
Other authorities and numerous records and case histories showing the failure of vaccination are given elsewherein this book.
The truly great minds of the world recognize the balanced economy of nature and know that when the chemistryof the body is thrown out of balance by faulty nutritionand other causes, toxins accumulate and the entire physicalorganism marshals its healing forces in an effort to meetthe emergency and make adjustment to the condition. This
healing effort may be expressed in many ways, such as accelerated circulation and fever, disturbed breathing, intensified46

bowel elimination (diarrhea) and mucous discharges to expel
poisons, eruptions, swelling of lymphatic glands such as thetonsils to handle the overload of toxic waste, pain, indicating the presence of irritants, etc. All this display of the vitalenergy at work to restore normalcy, is interpreted by theaverage physician, as disease and something to interfere withby giving poison drugs, vaccines and crippling operations. ,Modern medical methods delay and frustrate the unexcelledhealing efforts of nature.
Dr. Oliver Wendell Holmes, one of the few enlightened
physicians expressed this point in one powerful sentence
when he said:“The disgrace of medicine has been the colossal systemof self-deception, in obedience to which mines have been
emptied of their cankering minerals, the entrails of animals
taxed for their impurities, the poison bags of reptiles drainedof their venom, and all the inconceivable abominations thus
obtained, thrust down the throats of human beings suffering(merely) from some want of organization, nourishment, orvital stimulation.”
When we read of primitive witch doctors experimenting with inoculation by rubbing the pus from the diseased
into scratches on the body of the well, we look upon itwith tolerance because they did not have enough knowledge
about physiology to understand that nature does not produce health by contaminating the blood stream with filth.
Although we are willing to make excuses for the mental
immaturity of those backward races, what excuse can be
make for our modern doctors who do the same thing—on
a larger scale—with a longer needle?
Vaccination has been a tragic failure because it is basedon the false theory that disease is a ruthless enemy thatmust be fought and killed by poison drugs or outwitted by(supposedly) implanting anti-bodies from vaccines into the47blood stream. These mythical anti-bodies are said to makewar on disease germs. But germs are not the cause of diseasein the first place and are useful wherever they are found innature, whether they are serving as scavengers working on
the decaying waste products, or whether they are helping
with the decomposing and renewing of cell structure thattakes place continually, they are inseparably a part of thegreat pattern of pulsating life. (For detailed, scientific experiments proving the importance and nature of germs, bacteria,
microbes, etc.. Read the findings of Antoine Béchamp as
recorded in the remarkable book, Béchamp or Pasteur, by
E. Douglas Hume—English Pub. see bibliography.)
As has been stated before, disease is a cleansing effort ofthe body in its attempt to rid itself of excess poisons, waste
matter, obstructions, and incompatible food. Disease in not
something to be cured; it is a cure.
Germs do not attack from without; they develop within
the cells themselves when the need for them occurs. The
whole framework of vaccination is based on the misconception that germs cause disease and must be counteractedwith vaccines. But this procedure can bring no other result
than harm.
TUBERCULOSISCAUSED BY VACCINATION
Dr. Walter James, of Philadelphia said:“Vaccination does not stay the spread of disease oreven modify it in those cases who get it after vaccination.
It does introduce into the system tuberculosis, cancer, andleprosy. It does just what inoculation did—cause the spreadof disease.”
Annie Riley Hale, (researcher for Congressmen) stated:“The Surgeon-General of the United States Army
innocently recorded in the 1918-1919 report that ‘for all48

officers and enlisted men, Americans and native troops inall countries where U.S. troops were serving, tuberculosis of
the lungs was the leading cause for discharge; and among
American troops at home and abroad there were 31,106
hospital admissions for pulmonary tuberculosis with 1,114
deaths, in the period of this country’s participation in theFirst World War.’” (Medical Voodoo, p. 27)
No tubercular men were inducted into the Army. It wasafter the blood poisoning vaccinations at camp that diseasesof every description developed. Then the men were invalided
home by the thousands and dumped on society as physicaland mental wrecks. Many of these men had never been inbattle nor had even left American soil.
Dr. E. C. Rosenow, an experimentalist at the Mayo
Clinic, recorded in the Mayo Collected Papers (Vol. II, p.
92) that he found “the vaccine serums injected into guinea
pigs tended to localize in the lungs.”
Edward Jenner inoculated his 18 months old son withswine-pox, on November 1791 and again in April, 1798 with
cow-pox. The boy was never very well after that and diedof tuberculosis at the age of 21.
In Baron’s Life of Jenner, (Vol. II, p. 304) we learn that,“On the 14th of May, 1796 . . . Jenner vaccinated James
Phipps, a boy about eight years old, with the matter takenfrom the hand of a dairymaid infected with casual cow-pox.
After waiting six weeks Jenner inoculated this boy on
both arms with smallpox matter, taken from the arm of aboy with smallpox. Several months later Phipps was again
inoculated with the variolous matter (smallpox pus) but noeffect was produced.”
The inoculation didn’t “take” so on the strength of thisone experiment and its questionable interpretation, Jenner
based his claim that one vaccination would “forever securea person from smallpox.” No time had elapsed to prove49

whether it would last a lifetime or a month or at all; but
without any proof or any scientific basis or evidence for its
practice, the doctors and the government adopted it andmade it compulsory, no doubt, seeing the gold mine in profits that it would yield.
James Phipps was declared immune to smallpox but be
too, died of tuberculosis at the age of 20.
In Baron’s Life of Jenner, the author refers to Phipps
condition as follows:“While walking with a friend one day they passed young
Phipps, when Jenner exclaimed, ‘Oh, there is poor Phipps; Iwish you could see him; he has been very unwell lately and
I am afraid he has got tuberculosis on his lungs. He wasrecently inoculated for smallpox, I believe for the 20th time,and all without effect.’”
VACCINATION IS
OF VERY ANCIENT ORIGIN
As was previously stated, neither Jenner, with all his fanfare
and praise, nor the obscure Jesty, was the discoverer of inoculation. It was a “carry-over” from very ancient times whensuperstitious fear and guess-work dominated the healing
field.
An idea of its ancient origin may be gathered fromthe Lecture Memoranda, XVII International Congress of
Medicine, London, 1913, which states:“The practice of inoculation for the prevention of
disease is one of considerable antiquity. The period of its
discovery can only be conjectured...”“Dhanwantari, the Vedic Father of Medicine, and theearliest known Hindu physician, who lived about 1,500 B.C.,
is supposed to have been the first to practice inoculation forsmallpox. It is even stated that the ancient Hindus employeda vaccine, which they prepared by the transmission of the50

smallpox virus through a cow.” (History of Inoculation and
Vaccination, pp. 6, 13)This common practice of disease transmission of bothancient and modern tunes, undoubtedly, has a strong relationship to the plagues and epidemics that sweep thosecountries where vaccination is still practiced.
If this method of disease prevention had ever been successful, smallpox would have been eliminated from the world
centuries ago, but smallpox persists in localities where vaccination is compulsory and declines where it is abandonedin favor of sanitation and hygienic measures.
The practice of inoculation spread like a noxious weed,from the savage tribes of the forgotten past into the civilizations of Africa, Arabia, Tibet, India and finally into Europe
and America.
Dr. Clements in his pamphlet, A Superstitious Custom
traces the inoculation practices through the various modern
countries previous to Jenner’s day. He writes:“In 1673 inoculation against smallpox appeared in
Denmark; and in 1778, on recommendation of the medical
fraternity, two inoculation houses were established by theking in the capitol.
“In Italy, inoculation was secretly practiced by the
Neapolitans from early times. It was freely performed bynurses, who inoculated infants, entrusted to their care, without the knowledge of the parents.
“In 1722, Dr. Wright, a surgeon of Wales refers to inoculation against smallpox in the British Isles as ‘a very ancientcustom.’ (Jenner didn’t begin his vaccinations until 1796).
One William Allen, then 99 years old, said inoculation had
been known and used during his entire lifetime, and he wellremembered his mother stating that it had been commonly
done all her life, and that she got smallpox that way.
“The first record of inoculation in France appears in51

1712, and in 1763 a fatal epidemic of smallpox occurred inthat country that wiped out a large part of the population; it
was attributed to inoculation and for a time the Government
prohibited the practice. Five years later, on the insistenceof the medical faculties, this decree was rescinded and by
the latter part of the 18th century inoculation was again
commonly practiced in that country.
“The first record of inoculation in Ireland appears in
1723, when a medical doctor in Dublin inoculated 25 persons. Three of these died as a result, and the custom wasabandoned for some time.
‘Inoculation appears to have been first introduced inGermany in 1724. It soon fell into disfavor, however, becauseof the many deaths in Berlin from smallpox, as a result of
it. After many years of diligent medical propagandizing,
the doctors were able to get the people to accept it again.
“In 1754, Peverani introduced inoculation for smallpox
into Rome, but smallpox soon began to spread and opposition rose to such a pitch that the practice was discontinued,
until the medical profession, after years of labor, persuaded
the people to again submit to it.
“One hundred forty-two years later, Carlo Ruta, Professorof Materia Medica at the University of Perugia, Italy, protested against the deadly custom in these scathing words:‘Vaccination is a monstrosity, a misbegotten offspringof error and ignorance; and, being such, it should have noplace in either hygiene or medicine …. Believe not in vaccination, it is a world-wide delusion, an unscientific practice,a fatal superstition with consequences measured today bytears and sorrow without end.’“In Ancient Greece and Rome, the mighty nations ofmighty men, there was no inoculation—no vaccination—and no smallpox.” These nations have been known down
through history as being famous for their general habits of52

health, cleanliness and stability as well as their vigor andstrength. Among the Greeks and Romans smallpox was
unknown until it was carried there by the inoculators fromother countries.
INOCULATION IN AMERICA
In America, inoculation for smallpox appears to have been
first introduced in 1721 by Cotton Mather, a clergyman.
His method was that of taking a toothpick and dipping
it into the pus from a pustule of a smallpox patient andsmearing it into a scratch on the arm of a well person. He
inoculated 224 persons during the first six months of his
experimentation. Six of them died from poisoning, six had
no apparent reaction at the time and the rest suffered reactions of varying intensity.
“He was bitterly attacked for recommending such apractice,” says Dr. Clements, “and for a time his life wasin danger. This incident incited strong opposition to inoculation, in this country .... A public meeting was called in
Boston where the practice was deprecated as causing thedeath of many persons.
“It was contended that the operation was likely to prove
most dangerous to those submitting to it. In the meeting thefollowing resolution was agreed upon and published by the
public authorities:“A resolve upon a debate by the people of Boston concerning inoculation of smallpox, on the 21st day of July,
1721.
“It appears by numerous instances that it has proventhe death of many persons even after the operation, andbrought distemper upon many others which have in the end
proven fatal to them; that the natural tendency of infusing
such malignant filth in the blood is to corrupt and putrefy
it, and if there be not a sufficient discharge of that malignity

53

by the place of inoculation or elsewhere, it lays the foundation for many dangerous diseases; that the operation tends
to spread and continue the infection in a place longer thanotherwise might be (as in the case of smallpox); that thecontinuance of the operation among us is likely to proveof the most dangerous consequences.
—By the Select Men of the Town of Boston,
July 22, 1721”
We observe, here, that the Founding Fathers of thiscountry were intelligent men who were vitally concernedwith the health and welfare of the people whom they governed. Although this was years before our revolution, thesesame men, no doubt, played a part in shaping the destinyof this country. This was also before the medical association got its strangle hold on the health of our people andprostituted the art of healing to the business of making
money without giving “full value received”. Those leaderswith ideals and high purposes were not able to hold thegilded-edge vaccination monster at bay very long. The highpressure “tactics” of the serum promoters finally corrupted
the minds of the people and they were induced to submit
to full scale vaccination in many states. America, today, isunfortunately, one of the most lucrative fields for medical
exploitation.
Our Constitution promises the people freedom but theenslavement of compulsory vaccination hounds the employees and personnel of our tax supported institutions such as
Civil Service, county and state hospitals and institutions,state colleges, military service, many public schools andsome entire states. There is absolutely no proof of benefits
from vaccination and no sound basis for its compulsion but
it is forced into operation from year to year and the outraged
taxpayers are forced to pay for it.

54

The useless and hazardous but inflexible law that
requires vaccination in order to travel abroad brands U. S.
as backward and unscientific. Other countries have learned
the fallacy of vaccination and discarded it as worthless anddeadly.
“Medical schools claim that the theory of inoculation
is based on scientific facts but history proves that this claim
is false. What are these so-called, scientific facts? Where arethey (if any)? Medical history discusses many theories andhypotheses, but it describes no scientific facts. It is a grossmisrepresentation to hold that the superstitious practice ofbarbarians ‘is based on discoveries made in the fundamental
sciences,’ or on scientific facts.”—Clements.
The testament from medical history itself proves that
smallpox increased tremendously after the enforcement ofvaccination and at the present time there are far more deathsand diseases from vaccination itself than from the diseases
the vaccinations are supposed to prevent. Figures and casehistories to support this statement are given elsewhere in thisbook and in many other books on vaccination.
VACCINATION BASED ON DAIRYMAID’SSTORY—NOT SCIENTIFIC
Lady Mary Wortly Montague was said to have been the one
who introduced inoculation into England in 1717 after she
returned from the Orient (in Turkey, where her husband wasan ambassador). Inoculation was in its popular experimental stage there at that time. The custom had probably beentaken by the Arabs into Africa, notably, those countries near
the Red Sea. From there it may have been taken into Europe
by way of the Bosphorus. When Lady Montague spoke of
this practice of arm-to-arm inoculation to Jenner he said:“Ay, but the Glouchestershire dairymaids have a better
trick than that. They say that if a person takes the cowpox

55

from the cow, he will never after have smallpox. Now cowpox is smallpox of the cow. Cowpox is not infectious; aperson once having cowpox will never have smallpox afterwards, and there are no dangerous results to be anticipated,as there are with (arm-to-arm) inoculations.”
All these claims have been refuted by scientific findings,
but as Jenner was not a scientist he was satisfied to accept
the opinions and superstitions of unlearned dairymaids.
Science has later presented sound proof that cowpox is not
the same as smallpox and does not protect from smallpox
or even from cowpox.
VACCINATION DOES NOT IMMUNIZE,SAY AUTHORITIESSpace will not permit the quoting of all the qualified authorities who brought forth evidence that cowpox has no relation
to smallpox and cannot immunize against it. A few willshow the trend in this direction.
Joseph Swan, in his comprehensive work, The Vaccination
Problem (pp. 87—102) gives the results of government surveys and reports of doctors and scientists who investigatedthis matter. He reports Sir Thomas Watson (the distinguishedsurgeon and a believer in vaccination) who said:“A little consideration will suffice to show that the vaccine disease is sui generis. In no sense does it own its origin
to smallpox. There is no such relation between the two ....
The true attitude of cowpox towards smallpox is an attitudeof antagonism.” (British Medical Journal, Jan. 17, 1880)
The renowned bacteriologist, E. M. Crookshank stated:“Cow-pox has never been converted into human smallpox, and, in their clinical history and epidemiology, natural
cow-pox and human small-pox are so different, that thecomparative pathologist is no more prepared to admit theiridentity than he is prepared to admit the identity of cow-pox

56

and sheep-pox, or small-pox and cattle plague.” (p. 328,
Bacteriology and Infective Diseases, Fourth Edition, by
Crookshank)Dr. (later Sir) William Osler, one of the most highly
respected medical authorities, although an advocate ofvaccination was forced, by factual evidence to admit thedangers attending this practice. He did not endorse Jenner’s
exaggerated promises of lifetime immunity without danger. In his Principles and Practice of Medicine, p. 330, 8th
Edition, he wrote:“With the greatest care (in vaccinating) certain risks arepresent …. A quiescent malady may be lighted into activity
by vaccination. This has happened with congenital syphilis,
also with tuberculosis.” (emphasis supplied)
WHAT HAPPENED TO JENNER’S
LIFETIME IMMUNITY?
When Jenner promised the world that his cowpox vaccinations would give lifetime immunity “with no dangerous
results” as with the usual inoculations, he admitted that
inoculation had always been accompanied with danger that
all recognized. It was not long, however, before Jenner’s
cowpox vaccinations were followed by death and disease
and that practice was also branded as dangerous and deadly.
Regarding the increased death-rate due to vaccination,
Herbert Spencer states in his Facts and Comments:“Jenner and his disciples have assumed that when thevaccine has passed through the patient’s system he is safe
against smallpox, and there the matter ends …. I propose
to show that there the matter does not end. The interferencewith the order of Nature has various sequences other thanthose counted upon. Some have been made known.
“A Parliamentary Return issued in 1880 (No. 392) shows... that there was a decrease of 6,600 (per million births) in57

the deaths of infants from all causes; while the deaths causedby eight specified diseases, either directly communicable orexacerbated by the effects of vaccination, increased from20,524 to 41,353 per million births per annum—more thandouble. It is clear that far more were killed by these otherdiseases than were saved from smallpox.”
Vaccination was made compulsory in England in 1853.
Judging by the data from the above quoted Parliamentary
Return, it would appear that after 27 years of enforced
vaccination, the death rate increased only among the vaccinated diseases. The decline in deaths from other causes
was, no doubt, brought about by the improvement in sanitation and nutrition that came into prominence about thattime. It was around 1840 that Sylvester Graham, Dr. Russel
Thacher Trall and other pioneers of the new health movement emphasized the importance of correct nutrition andthrough this teaching they helped raise the health standards
that saved many lives. If vaccination had not been persistedin, the great improvements in sanitation and nutrition would
have had a better chance to eliminate disease. But as it is,
we now have a greater scourge of killer diseases than at anyother time in recorded history; and much of it is traceable
to vaccination.
JENNER’S ATTITUDE TOWARD COMPLAINTSAND DISASTER OF VACCINATION
Dr. W. R. Hadwin who had considerable experience withsmallpox patients in the hospitals of England and had seen
the tragic results of vaccination, gave lecture in Liverpool
where he discussed the typical excuses and evasions madeby Jenner regarding the complaints and failures of his vaccinations. Excerpts from this lecture are as follows:“Now, after Jenner had written a paper on this wonderful legend of the dairymaids, there came forward on every

58

hand no end of cow-doctors who had a large experience inthe matter, and had literally flooded him with evidence ofpeople who had had cowpox vaccinations and later contracted smallpox.
“Here was proof that he could not ignore …. But Jenner
was one of the most resourceful men in excuse making thatever lived; let anyone read his and there will be no difficultyin coming to that conclusion.
“‘Ay’, said Jenner, ‘There are two kinds of smallpox;
there is a genuine kind and a spurious kind, (laughter fromthe audience) and those who have been vaccinated and had
smallpox afterwards, they have been vaccinated with spurious cowpox, but those who have been vaccinated and have
not had smallpox afterwards, they have been inoculated withthe genuine variety.’” (laughter)
Jenner had no answer when asked how to tell the difference between spurious and genuine cowpox. Neither he nor
anyone else was able to find a safe vaccine, yet the vaccinations were continued without interruption with the samequestionable vaccines that had no proof of purity or assurance of safety. The people reminded Jenner that a person isjust as dead whether he died of spurious or genuine smallpox
and it was little comfort to know that he and the government
approved of the vaccine used.
When Jenner was confronted with the evidence that agroup of people had been vaccinated with the same batchof vaccine but some had developed smallpox and others did
not, he told them that those who were unfortunate enough to
get smallpox must have been vaccinated too soon or too lateafter exposure to smallpox. But he never was able to determine just when was the right time to vaccinate. As many of
the casualties were among his own patients it was clear thatthe whole procedure was operated on a basis of guesswork.

59

ENGLISH GOVERNMENTSUPPORTED JENNER IN HIS VENTURE
In spite of the obvious failure of vaccination, Jenner
applied to the English Government for money to promote
his scheme. It was on the strength of the dairymaid’s story
and his groundless promise of lifetime immunity, and his
unscientific experiment on James Phipps that Parliament
gave him 10 000 in 1802. Either Jenner had an unusual
gift of persuasion or the English government was a victimof “wishful thinking” for in 1807 Jenner talked them out
another 20,000 pounds which amounted to 30,000 pounds
in all, ($150,000) public funds with which to propagate his
vaccination diseases and death throughout the world.
When Jenner made the statement that one vaccination
would give lifelong protection against smallpox he seemed
to expect that people would regard him as some great Oracle
whose words would never be questioned. Even after deaths
had occurred from vaccination he brazenly submitted amanuscript to the Royal College of Surgeons entitled, An
Inquiry into the Causes and Effects of Variolae Vaccine inwhich he again stated his theory, “ ... What renders the cowpox virus so extremely singular is, that the person who has
been thus affected is forever after secure from the infusionof smallpox; neither exposure to the various effluvia nor theinsertion of the matter into the skin producing the malady.”
The complaints continued to pour in but Jenner ignored
the facts and like one possessed by an obsession he wrote
in his third publication an answer to the objectors as follows: “Some there are who suppose the security (immunity)
obtained through the cowpox will be of temporary nature
only. This supposition is refuted, not only by analogy withrespect to the habits of disease of a similar kind, but by
incontrovertible facts, which appear again its …” (Baron1, p. 490)

60

Where (we ask) are these incontrovertible facts? No one
has seen them and Jenner never did bring them forth. But
Jenner and a certain class of doctors had discovered thatvaccination could be a paying business even if they couldn’t
make it work; so from then on, the colossal advertisingprogram was set up to propagandize the population into
believing in vaccination.
Lord Lyttleton must have had a stake in this multi-million dollar enterprise when he stated in the House of Lords:“It is unnecessary to speak of the certainty of vaccination
as a preventive of smallpox, that being a point on which
the whole medical profession has arrived at complete
unanimity.”This statement was not quite true because all theenlightened doctors, (of which there were not a great many)
condemned vaccination. But the words of Lyttleton had
their desired effect on the people and that was the purposeof the speech. Everything possible was done to suppress thefacts that revealed the dismal failure of vaccination.
According to Thomas Morgan in his Medical Delusions(p. 48-49) “Jenner soon discovered that vaccination did notgive immunity from smallpox, including some who had been
vaccinated by himself and had died from it. Not wishing
to bring vaccination into disrepute, he endeavored to suppress reports, and in writing to a friend, said, ‘I wish myprofessional brethren to be slow to publish fatal results
after vaccination.’ And in 1810 he wrote: ‘When I foundDr. Woodworth about to publish his pamphlet relative tothe eruption (smallpox) cases at the Smallpox Hospital,
I entreated him in the strongest terms, both by letter andconversation, not to do a thing that would so disturb the
progress of vaccination.’ (Barron’s Life of Jenner)“The foregoing plainly proves that Jenner himself wasaware of the utter uselessness of vaccination; but, having

61

received the bounty from the government he preferred toresort to all kinds of schemes rather than acknowledge its
failure.
“From its inception until the present day, the vaccination scheme has been an endless record of lies, deception,
fraud, juggling statistics, and falsifying death certificates inorder to preserve vaccination from reproach and to secure
its continuation … and all this after more than a century ofterrible experience, which has demonstrated that vaccination has killed more than smallpox, besides crippling anddisfiguring millions more.”
EVEN JENNER RECOGNIZEDTHE FAILURE OF VACCINATION
In his work The Value of Vaccination (pp. 68-69) Dr. William
Winterburn says that even “The Royal Jennerian Society”(under Jenner’s direction) in its second report in 1806,“Admitted having seen a few cases of smallpox in persons
who had passed through the cowpox in the usual way.” Hesays further:“In the same year the Royal College of Surgeons issued
a circular letter to 1,000 of its members asking their experience with vaccination. They received 426 answers, with theinformation of 56 cases of smallpox in the vaccinated, 66
cases of eruption and 24 bad arms.”
The London Medical Observer, (Vol. VI, 1810) publishedparticulars of “535 cases of smallpox after vaccination—the
operation having been performed in some of them by Jenner
himself—including their names and the authorities reporting them; and similar details of 97 fatal cases of smallpox in
the vaccinated, with 150 cases of serious injury arising fromvaccination among whom were 10 medical men—with theirnames and addresses—including two professors of anatomy,
who had suffered from the operation in their own families.”

62

(Medical Voodoo—Hale p. 85)
Winterburn gives additional proof of the failure of vaccination to protect from smallpox, in a report of a “Severe
epidemic in Marseilles when 2,000 vaccinated persons
were stricken with smallpox; and the epidemic of 1831 in
Wurttemberg when 995 ‘protected’ ones succumbed to theprevailing malady.”
When Jenner was faced with the disturbing fact that vaccination with cowpox was as much a failure as the previous
inoculations with human smallpox, he invented all mannerof excuses which were as unconvincing as they were useless.
His one—track mind seemed to admit no other thought
except pus. So when cow or human putrescence didn’t
prevent smallpox he continued to experiment with othervarieties. He noticed that in the suppurating cracks in thefeet of diseased horses there was a putrid mass of pus. Thisdisease was called “horse grease” by some people but wasconsidered, by some veterinarians, to be a form of syphilisof the horse. Others said it was a type of consumption or
wasting disease. For some unaccountable reason, Jenner
thought this pus would be a good addition to his discredited vaccines so he injected it into a cow and produced adisease in the cow. With the concoction of pus from thediseased horse and cow he made a serum. When the people
learned what he had done they protested so violently that
Dr. George Pearson wrote to Jenner immediately and said,“For God’s sake take the horse out, or you will damn thewhole business.”
Following that incident Jenner wrote to a friend andsaid, “I am on the look-out to be able to make a fortune; andto appease the public.” Then, as Dr. Hadwin related in his
famous lecture, “Jenner decided to take the horse out. But hewas still faced with the problem of finding genuine cowpox.
This he was never able to do …. In sheer desperation, he fell

63

back upon spontaneous cowpox although he had declaredpreviously, it was absolutely useless in preventing smallpox.
And it is this spontaneous cowpox vaccine, this which wasdenounced by Edward Jenner, this which was scouted by theso-called inventor himself as absolutely useless in protecting
against smallpox; this is the stuff that is being used today
under the name of ‘pure calf lymph smallpox vaccine’ andbefore which the medical profession is bowing, while professing to follow in the footsteps of Jenner.
“There is not one medical man in 10,000 who has everseen cowpox in a cow . . - and very few who have seen a caseof smallpox so they really know very little about it. There
are two things the medical profession should learn: The firstis to know smallpox when they see it; and the next Is, toknow how to treat it when they do see it.” (The Vaccination
Delusion, by W. R. Hadwin, M.D.)
RE-VACCINATION DESTROYSPROMISED IMMUNITY“We will suppose” said Dr. Hadwin, “for the sake of argument, that cowpox is smallpox (as some doctors still claim)
and that when you give a person cowpox—that is when
you vaccinate him—you give him a mild (or severe) sort ofsmallpox. Jenner himself, said, ‘Cowpox does not prevent
smallpox; it is smallpox.’ So that, according to that theory,
you are literally “smallpoxing” a person when you vaccinate
him ... Jenner said, ‘A person once vaccinated is forever after
secure from smallpox’ and that, ‘re-vaccination would rob
his discovery of half its virtues.’ But what is the medical
propaganda telling you? The doctors know that vaccination will not protect you against another vaccination. If one
cowpox inoculation will not protect you from being cowpoxed again, how on earth is it going to protect you frombeing smallpoxed? Why, the very theory of re-vaccination64

is condemnatory of the whole creed. If it cannot protect
against a mild form in vaccination how can it protect one
from a serious form of smallpox? The most amazing thingon earth is the fact that the medical men cannot see this.”(The Vaccination Delusion—Dr. Hadwin)
JENNER FANS RESENT THE TRUTH
The Editor of Truth (London) answers a complaint in an
editorial of his publication as follows:“In his article, The Fraud of Vaccination, publishedlast week in Truth, Dr. Hadwin made some remarks notaltogether complimentary to Jenner, the (self proclaimed)discoverer of vaccination. These remarks led one reader todenounce both Dr. Hadwin and myself—Dr. Hadwin forlibeling one of the greatest benefactors of humanity (shethinks) and myself for propagating the libel. Dr. Hadwin
is well able to take care of himself. For my own part, notwishing to do any injustice to the name and fame of the late
Dr. Jenner, I asked Dr. Hadwin what he had against him andhe replied by sending me a pamphlet he had written on thesubject. This I have compared with the account of Jenner’s
life given in the “Dictionary of National Biography,” andthe result is so illuminating that I will now give the salient
facts as briefly as possible.
“To begin with, it is clear that Jenner never possessed
anything that would be recognized today as a medical qualification. At the age of 16 he was apprenticed to a country
doctor and apothecary and at 21 he was sent for two years
as a pupil to Dr. John Hunter of London. At 23 Jenner
returned to his native village and started to practice as asurgeon and apothecary. He continued for several years as
just a plain, unqualified country doctor. At the end of thistime be made his first bid for fame. In l787 he sent a paperon The Natural History of the Cuckoo to the Royal Society,65and as a result, with Hunter’s influence he was elected F.R.C.
Three years later he applied to St. Andrew’s University for
an M.D. degree, and as St. Andrew’s, in those days, was not
squeamish about degrees so long as the fees were forthcoming, Jenner became Doctor Jenner for the modest sum of
15 pounds. (about $75.00 in those days)“As for the vaccination discovery it appears to have beenfounded upon what Dr. Hadwin calls a superstition among
the dairymaids” (The editorial continues with the historyof vaccination as already covered in this chapter so I do
not think it is necessary to repeat it He concludes his article
with this paragraph:)‘What strikes me as remarkable about the whole affair
is the ease with which Jenner got his theory accepted ….
It is true that medical research in the 19th century was notwhat it is today, but even then the picture of the whole of theCollege of Physicians and Surgeons swallowing the theoryof an unqualified country apothecary, based on one totally
unreliable experiment, seems scarcely credible‚ …. I should
imagine that he was one of those unscientific researchers
who are always on the lookout for facts to fit their theories,
instead of first making of their facts”
Dr. J. W. Hodge, of New York, had extensive experience
with smallpox epidemics and vaccination epidemics also.
Out of his wealth of knowledge on this subject he wrote on
all its phases. In a published article dealing with Some of theFalse Claims, Erroneous Deductions and Self Contradictionsof the of the Vaccination Dogma he stated:“At first it was confidently asserted that vaccination
would exterminate small-pox. That claim has been abandoned by Jenner’s most enthusiastic followers and the claimthat re-vaccination will exterminate smallpox, was set up in
its stead. The proof that the theory and the practice espoused
by Jenner have been everywhere abandoned is found in the66

fact that all vaccinists now admit the necessity of re-vaccination, but do not agree on the period that may be allowed
between successive repetitions of the ‘protective’ (?) rite.
“If you ask how often it must be repeated, you will
be confronted with a babel of discordant replies You canchoose any answer you please from ‘once only’ of the original Jenner up to an indefinite repetition, ‘until it no longer
takes’, as now prescribed by the Chicago Vaccination Creed”
This Vaccination Creed formulated by the Chicago
Health Department in 1902 stated “That true vaccination,
repeated until it no longer “takes,” always prevents smallpox.
Nothing else does.”
Regarding this fantastic assertion, Dr. Hodge has thisto say:“The above dogmatic deliverance aptly illustrates therecklessness of the disciples of Jenner in making bold asseverations in favor of vaccination which scorn the slightest
attempt at verification.”
The frequent and variegated vaccinations given to ourservice men give us a full-scale picture of what “repeatedvaccination until it no longer takes” will do to the bodyand brain. Thousands of our healthiest men at the primeof life were rendered insane and millions of others were
infected with disease of every description including the very
ones they were “protected” against. A typical example isthat of our Philippine soldiers. According to our military
records: “Every enlisting soldier is subjected to vaccination
at the time of being recruited, and re-vaccinated, not only on
entering the U S Army, but also as often after that as seems
advisable by the Army medical authorities “ Chief Surgeonof the U. S. Philippine Army, said in his report, regarding
the high incidence of smallpox among his vaccinated men “I
can say that no Army was ever more thoroughly looked afterin the matter of vaccination than ours, and re-vaccination

67

many times repeated went as regularly as the drills at a regular post.”
Yet, the records show a steady increase of smallpox
among these men:
In 1888—there were 76 cases of smallpox and 21 deaths
from this cause.
In 1890—there were 207 cases of smallpox and 78 deaths
from this cause.
In 1900— there were 246 cases of smallpox and 113
deaths from this cause.
246 cases of smallpox and 113 deaths among the thoroughly and frequently vaccinated men would hardly bearout the claim of the Chicago Creed, that says:“Repeated re-vaccination always prevents smallpox andnothing else does.”
Jenner and his followers had committed themselves tothe view that Vaccination gave life-long immunity to smallpox. Therefore, they asserted that re-vaccination was not
merely unnecessary, but impossible.”Dr. Pearson, one of Jenner’s strongest supporters said,“If a child can be re-vaccinated, then it can take smallpox;
therefore, vaccination is not an equivalent for smallpox andwhere, then, is the good of it?” (Medical Gazette, 1831)
Dr. Pearson also stated, “It has been found that a person whose constitution has distinctly undergone the vaccine
disease is in the future, insusceptible of that same disease.”(I wonder where he found that remarkable person.)
Here is an authority on the Jenner theory who promisesthat if the vaccination “takes” then a person cannot ever
have another vaccination that will “take”. This fortunate
person is then supposed to be immune to both smallpox
and vaccination reactions (vaccina).
The cases of smallpox and vaccination diseases anddeaths continued to increase in large numbers among

68

Jenner’s prize patients so he and his supporters had to retreat
behind a bulwark of excuses. As usual, these failed to shieldthem from the rise of public indignation, so Jenner had to
discard the impossible claim of life-time immunity in orderto hold onto the vaccination fantasy at all.
Although they had previously taught that re-vaccination
would cancel any hope of protection from vaccination, they
nevertheless, changed their policy and advocated re-vaccination. They had learned, undeniably, that vaccination would
not work and were to learn later that re-vaccination was evenmore disastrous but it was continued in spite of this.
In 1860 the Encyclopedia Britannica (Eighth Edition)stated:“Nothing is more likely to prove hurtful to the cause of
vaccination and render the public careless of securing tothemselves its benefits, than the belief that they would require
to submit to re-vaccination every 10 to 15 years.”
Years later, the Eleventh Edition of the Encyclopedia
shows the change of policy when it states:“It is desirable that the operation (vaccination) should be
repeated at the age of from 7 to 10 years, and thereafter, if it
be possible, at intervals during life.” (The more often the vaccinations, the greater the revenue to the doctors and vaccine
promoters. This is the prime consideration in this business.)
RECORDS SHOW RE-VACCINATION FAILS
Since numerous examples of the failure of re-vaccination are
given throughout this book, only a few will be mentioned inthis chapter to show its position in the history of vaccination.
Dr. Sobatta, of the German Army gave a report of 154
soldiers who had been vaccinated four times with a lapseof a year and a half between shots. 146 of these cases had
reactions of vaccina, indicating that the vaccinations andre-vaccinations did not protect for even one and one-half69

years.
Some startling results of re-vaccination experiments
were published by the German Vaccination Commission in
1884. The experiments were made on 30 boys ranging in age
from 8 to 14 years. Five of them had had smallpox within
the previous two years; four of them had been vaccinated.
The vaccinations were repeated every eight days with thefollowing results:

The report stated that the 7 boys on the top row (including the 4 who had had smallpox) had reactions of vaccina
indicating that neither smallpox nor re-vaccination had protected them for even three weeks. The 9 boys on the second
row who had reactions showed that 67 per cent of the group
did not have immunity that lasted even 8 days. Then the
7 boys on the top row who had been re-vaccinated werere-vaccinated again and 6 of them “took” which showedthat 86 per cent of the group did not receive the promised
immunity for as long as one week. The other boy in thatgroup of 7 was reported as unsuccessful because he had
developed dysentery during that week. This is an interesting
point because it bears out the contention that when poisons are introduced into the body the healing mechanism

70attempts to expel them by way of diarrhea, mucous discharge, eruptions, etc. The diarrhea was, no doubt, one of
the reactions of vaccina which would indicate that his vaccination also “took”, making re-vaccination a 100 per centfailure in that group.
This is concrete proof that vaccination or re-vaccination
does not protect against itself, or against smallpox and has
no constructive quality to recommend it.
One of the favorite arguments of the exponents of
re-vaccination is the claim that the re-vaccinated nurses insmallpox hospitals do not get smallpox. It would be moreaccurate to say that the records of the casualties of thesere-vaccinated nurses are not made public. We read in thechapter on Falsified Death Certificates (Book II) that it is anaccepted custom among doctors, to withhold from the deathcertificate the real cause of death when nurses (and sometimes when patients) die of smallpox after vaccination; someother causes are given. However, occasionally the private
records are seen and it is then found that the vaccinated andre-vaccinated personnel show a higher incidence of smallpox
and other diseases than do the unvaccinated laymen.
Many records and testimonies were brought forthwhen the Royal Vaccination Commission was making its
investigation of this re-vaccination question. W. J. Collins,
M.D. and J. A. Piecton, two of these Commissioners, after
weighing the evidence of hundreds of witnesses who had
testified before the Royal Commission, recorded their joint
conclusions on this matter in the minority report (p. 61, par.
152) as follows:“When we consider the large number of attacks anddeaths by smallpox which have occurred among our thoroughly re-vaccinated army … as well as the number andfatality of re-vaccinated persons attacked by smallpox in
London and at Warrington and Dewsbury, we are forced to71the conclusion that the remarkable immunity recorded in thecases of nurses in smallpox hospitals cannot be accounted
for by the fact that they have been re-vaccinated.
“In the hospital at Bicetre during the siege of Paris, inthe midst of a larger accumulation of smallpox patients thanhas ever been known before or since, the immunity of thoseattendants and doctors who neglected re-vaccination waseven more marked than in the case of the orderlies who were
nearly all re-vaccinated. We attach considerable importanceto the narrative given by M. Colin, Chief Medical Officer
to the Bicetre Hospital during the siege.
“The point of this narrative is that while 15 of there-vaccinated or well protected orderlies took the disease(smallpox), not one of the 80 who composed the medical
and nursing staff, so many of whom had neglected re-vaccination, was attacked.
“It is sufficiently clear,” declared the Royal Vaccination
Commissioners, “that M. Cohn, though an impassioned
advocate of vaccination, was so struck with the complete
immunity of the medical and nursing staff, who by theirneglect of re-vaccination appeared to offer less guarantee
of protection than the orderlies, nearly all of whom had
been re-vaccinated under his own eyes, that he thought itnecessary to attempt some explanation.” (The Vaccination
Problem, by Swan, p. 8)
Japan is one of the most glaring examples of the failureof vaccination and re-vaccination. Dr. Ruta, in his review
of world statistics on smallpox reported:“Between 1886 and 1892, there were 25,474,370 vaccinations and re-vaccinations performed in Japan, which meantthat about two-thirds of the entire Japanese population,
already vaccinated by the law of 1872, were re-vaccinated.
During that 7-year period (1886-1892) of thorough re-vaccination, there were reported 165,774 cases of smallpox with72

28,979 deaths.”
When our U. S. Army of occupation moved into Japanafter World War II, we could have been the means of liberating these needy people from this curse of medical ignorance,
but instead, our medical, drug and chemical companies
moved in also with their program of exploitation, and as
a result, under the MacArthur regime, “The people were
given the largest immunization and vaccination treatment inhistory. Every Japanese, received two smallpox shots making
a total of 160 million vaccinations.” (LIFE—Aug. 22, 1955)73

CHAPTER 5
CANCERCAUSED BY VACCINATION“The chief, if not the sole cause of the monstrous increasein cancer has been vaccination.”—Dr. Robert Bell, thefamous cancer specialist of the British Cancer Hospital.
We do not claim that vaccination is the only cause of cancer
although Dr. Bell (quoted above) observed so many casesof cancers at the site of the vaccination and elsewhere, but
directly traced to this cause that he affirmed that vaccination
was the cause of the great increase in the cancer rate.
Dr. Bell is just one of the many authorities who havebeen faced with the uncomfortable realization that the blood
contamination from vaccines is one of the leading causesof cancer.
Dr. E. J. Post, a prominent physician of Berlmont,
Michigan, said:“I have removed cancers from vaccinated arms exactly
where the poison was injected.”
In the New York Press, January 26, 1909, W. B. Clark
stated:“Cancer was practically unknown until cowpox vaccination began to be introduced. I have had to do with 200 casesof cancer and I never saw a case of cancer in an unvaccinatedperson.”Dr. Herbert Snow, Surgeon of the London Cancer
Hospital, had this to say:
“I am convinced that some 80 per cent of these cancer
deaths are caused by the inoculations or vaccinations they
have undergone. These are well known to cause grave andpermanent disease of the heart also.”74Dr. Dennis Turnbull, who had studied cancer for 30 years
declared:“I have no hesitation in stating that in my judgement themost frequent disposing condition for cancerous development
is infused into the blood by vaccination and re-vaccination.”
Dr. Forbes Laurie, late Medical Director of theMetropolitan Cancer Hospital, (London) said:“I am thoroughly convinced that the increase of cancer
is due to vaccination.”“In a carefully written pamphlet on Cancer and
Vaccination, by Esculapius, the writer concludes as follows:‘No candid and scientific inquirer who has read therecent works of Drs. Creighton, Edgar Crookshank, andScott Tebb, can be surprised that an alarming increase incancer is even now evident. Those who adopt so blindly
the brutal practice calf-lymph vaccination are but toosurely sowing the wind which they must inevitably reap
as the whirlwind, a whirlwind of corruption, disease, andnational deterioration. Where the so called human lymph
is employed, syphilis, leprosy, and tuberculosis follow in its
train ; and wherever calf-lymph is used, tuberculosis andcancer spread like a conflagration.’” (p. 185, Vaccination A
Curse and A Menace To Personal Liberty by Dr. J. Peebles).
Sir Thomas Paget M.D., tells us that “the progress of
vaccine infection in the blood shows us that a permanentmorbid condition is established; in the tissues themselves,
it is also established by this specific poison.”Dr. Benchetrit states that serums and vaccines “areprincipally responsible for the increase of those two really
dangerous diseases, cancer and heart disease.”
Dr. F. P. Millard, prominent Osteopath of Toronto andPresident of the National League for Prevention of Spinal
Curvature says: “Abolish vaccination, and you will cut thecancer death-rate in half.”75

PHOTOGRAPHS OF FATAL CANCER CASESCAUSED BY VACCINATION
Although there have been thousands of cancers caused
by vaccination space will not permit the reviewing of thecase histories or even a small fraction of them. The photographs below will give an idea of the tragic condition andintense suffering brought about by this curse of the modern
age—vaccination.

Mrs Helen Goates

Photograph by permission ofHarbison Printers, Oceano, Calif.

Mrs Helen Goates of Bolivar, Missouri was a strong,healthy woman with no skin trouble or chronic disease when
she was persuaded, during a vaccination drive, to submit76

to vaccination. Almost immediately, after the injection, an
inflamed swelling started to develop around the vaccination.
It continued to increase in size and intensity until it covered
her entire arm and hand. After a period of time it spreadover her back and breast as is shown in the photograph.
She was treated by more than a dozen doctors and cancer
specialists but the condition grew steadily worse until death
relieved her of her agony. Before her death she requested
that a photograph be taken of the cancer in order that others might see the results of vaccination and be warned, intime against this ever present danger of vaccine poisoning.

Medical Profession, Case XXV

The cancer does not always start immediately. It usuallytakes months or years for the poisons to degenerate enoughtissue for a cancer to form.
It is for this reason that most doctors fail to recognize the77connection between the vaccinations and the cancers. The
following photograph is an example of a later development.
Benjamin F. Olevine of Altoona, Pennsylvania, wasvaccinated when in good health. Two months later a sarcomatous (tumorous) growth began to develop where thevaccination sore had not healed. The growth reached enormous proportions, as may be seen from the photograph, andcaused intense pain and untold suffering, not, only in thearm but throughout the entire body. No cure was possible
and his misery was relieved only by death.
AMERICAN CANCER SOCIETY
REVEALS STARTLING FACTS
The 1955 advertising circular sent out by the American
Cancer Society, states:“Cancer will strike one of every four persons now living
according to the present estimates.
“More children from 3 to 15 years of age die of cancer
than from any other disease.”
This is a shocking, tragic situation when we consider
that just a short time ago—less than 50 years—cancer was
unheard of among children. It was, even then, a rare diseaseassociated with old age degeneration. But today, after theintensive vaccination programs conducted several times ayear in the schools, cancer has become so prevalent that it
is now taking a death toll among the children that is almost
unbelievable.
According to the report of the American Cancer Society,“The cancer death rate has increased from 65 persons per
100,000 in 1900 to 134.8 persons per 100,000 in 1948.”
Newsweek magazine (April 25, 1955) stated that cancer
took 128,000 lives in 1933. In 1953 (just 20 years later) the
death rate from cancer had increased to 224,000 with an estimated cost of $175,000,000 in hospital bills and $12,000,000

78yearly loss of productivity of the afflicted.
The recent 1955 report of the American Cancer Society,stating that cancer strikes one out of every four persons in
the United States, means that 25 per cent of the people arecancerous. Our present population is 160,000,000. Every
fourth person, or 25 per cent of our population amounts
to 6,400,000 people. Is this our present cancer rate, ascompared to only 224,000 two years ago in 1953? If thesefigures are right then our cancer rate has increased from
128,000 in 1933 to 6,400,000 in 1955 which is an increaseof 6,272,000 cases of cancer in the short span of 22 years.
This staggering increase in a preventable disease is a grave
reflection upon our present system of living with its popularized blood pollution practices by way of vaccination
campaigns and mass poisoning as a result of government
enforced spraying of fruits and vegetables with deadly leadarsenate and other poisons. The power politics of the drug
and chemical companies have also influenced legislation to
set aside vast sums of the taxpayer’s money with which tobuy their poison chemicals, such as chlorine, fluorides, etc.,
for contaminating the public water supply and for enforcing
tuberculin testing of cows. The people are told that thesepractices are beneficial but facts disclaim these statements.
(See the chapters on Drugs vs. Health and The Case Against
Tuberculin—Book II)
DOCTOR FORESEESA NATION OF INVALIDS
Dr. S. S. Goldwater, New York Commissioner of Hospitals
pointed out in The Modern Hospital Magazine that thepresent measures used to check contagious diseases may
permit of longer life—but not of stronger life. As a result of
the drugs, vaccines and other suppressive treatments used tocheck diseases, he says that, “chronic diseases are growing at

79

such a rate that America may become a nation of invalids.
Over half the hospital beds are filled with chronic sufferers,
both old and young.” (from Health Practitioner’s Journal,
June, 1944)
FAULTY CANCER RESEARCHIMPEDES PROGRESS
There is no argument against the urgent need for the prevention and cure of cancer. Doctors as well as laymen recognize
the dangers of this advancing menace; but there is great
confusion and conflict regarding theories and practices usedin treating cancer. The medical and non-medical schools of
healing have opposing views which set up a state of warfare
between them instead of the unity and cooperation thatshould prevail in order to solve this critical problem.. A few
of the drugless doctors are using cancer treatments that are
80 per cent more effective in removing cancer than thoseused and endorsed by the medical profession as a whole.
But the monopolistic domination of the A.M.A. constantly
thwarts these efforts toward improvement because they cannot collect the fees.
It is no secret that the newspapers are also muzzled by
the A.M.A., and are not permitted to publish any healthnews, or information or advertise any books about healthwithout the sanction of the Medical gestapo through theirhirelings in the Better Business Bureaus. If health information reflects unfavorably on the medical profession or
exposes its rackets it is immediately suppressed no matter
how factual and critical to life it may be. The health books
in tax supported public libraries and schools are also limited
to the out-of-date, erroneous, “slanted” data passed uponor written by medical men.

80THE MEDICALLY MADE
IRON CURTAIN
Because of this medically made iron curtain, the public isshown only one side of the cancer picture and is constantly
being drilled on the one theme endorsed by the medical
hierarchy—that “there are only three proved ways—and
only three—to curb cancer (1) X-ray, (2) radium, (3) andsurgery, either singly or in combination ...” (From Cancer
Facts, 1955, by the American Cancer Society)If it is true, as they state, that the medical profession has
three proved ways to cure cancer, why is there such a rapid
increase in cancer every year? Why do we see thousands ofdeaths occurring all the time, of those who have been treatedby these “proved” methods? Also, why do we have this neverending fund raising cancer campaigns to support laboratories that are supposed to be hunting a cure for cancer? If
one of these claims is true, it cancels out the other; that is:if they have a proved cure for cancer then it proves that thecancer campaigns are merely money making schemes for thepleasure and profit of the promoters. On the other hand,
if they know that they have no cure and are deliberately
taking money (large sums) from their patients under thefalse pretenses of offering a proved cure that does not cure,but instead often kills the patients, then they are engaged infraudulent practices and should be dealt with accordingly.
The law is not lenient with fraud cases, even when they do
no bodily harm. Many innocent drugless practitioners andwriters of non-medical health books have been barred fromthe mails on fraud charges merely because they disagreed
with accepted medical theories. (See chapter on Medical
Interference)

81

NINETY PER CENT DIE
OF MEDICALLY TREATED CANCER
Medical authorities, themselves, have estimated that “over90 per cent of the medically diagnosed cases of cancer die of
it in spite of frequent applications of both surgery and radiation.” Dr. James Ewing, one of the “expert witnesses” at a
Senate hearing, admitted this high death rate of medicallytreated cancer and further voiced the pessimistic view thathe “did not believe there is any reasonable expectation ofa great discovery entering the cancer field in this age.” This
indicates that he also believes that the cancer campaigns andlaboratories are merely in the business for profit.
Although most of the confessions of failure have been
made in the privacy of the medical conference chambers,
a few of them have reached the public by way of reports
in medical journals and sometime through legal investigation. One of the voluntary confessions was made by Dr.
Raballiati, who stated, “In the early part of my career I performed over 500 major operations for cancer and growths,
and it was the uniform lack of success with the knife thatcaused me to search for other means of more effectively
treating cancer—though without success.”
At the Atlantic City Convention of the American
Medical Association [A.M.A.], when each cancer specialist
was asked what was the cause of cancer, each one in turnadmitted he did not know. One of them said, “I admit I
know neither the cause nor the cure of cancer—and neither
do you, not anyone else here.”This statement, no doubt, voices the orthodox medical
view regarding cancer. If they did know the cause of thisdisease they would not use the three hazardous treatments
they claim are the only “proved cures”.

82

CANCER—NO MYSTERY
Outside the medical field and among the few independent
physicians who dare to think for themselves, there are to
be found those who do know the cause and cure of cancer
because they understand the underlying cause of disease ingeneral. Only when this is known can the right approachto prevention and cure be attempted with any certainty ofsuccess.
Dr. Herbert M. Shelton is one of these men with a clear
view as to the cause and control of disease. In an article in
The Hygienic Review, for April, 1949 he writes:“Cancer has no secret. It is but a part of general pathology (disease). It is an end-point in a chain of pathologicalsequences that need only to be watched to be recognized.
There is no specific cause of cancer. It is merely another andfinal link in the pathological chain that began in infancy
with the first cold. It is a product of pathological evolution...
“They (the medical profession) insist upon viewing cancer as some spontaneous horror that suddenly springs uponits victims from out of the void. They refuse to recognize theoffice of the general causes of pathology in the productionof cancer.
“So long as cancer “research” is only a search for a “cancer secret” that, after all, is but a figment of the imagination,
their experiments will continue to be sterile repetitions ofexperiments that have already been performed .
“What, then, is the cause of cancer? It is an evolution
out of toxemia (poisoning). Toxemia is a chronic state,
due to ones enervating (depleting) mode of living. Toxemia
produces the chronic local irritative conditions that form thesite of cancer. External irritations such as tobacco, mineraloil, alcohol, spices, coal tar products, drugs, etc. may and do
add to the cause in many cases, but it is noteworthy that only
a few of those subjected to these irritants develop cancer. In

83the absence of sufficient tissue degeneration from chronic
toxemia, the body successfully resists these irritants.”
J. Ellis Barker has this to say regarding the cause of cancer (This quotation is from his book on cancer, forwarded by
Sir Arbuthnot Lane, famous English Surgeon and physician
to the Royal Family of England.):“The cause of cancer is two-fold: (1) chronic poisoning
and (2) vitamin starvation.” (The required vitamins do notinclude the manufactured products by that name many ofwhich are coal tar products and injurious in themselves. The
only vitamins worthy of the name are to be found in natural, unprocessed foods such as vegetables and fruits, nuts
and grains—E. McBean) “The poison may be introduced
from without or generated from within. In the former classare aniline and paraffin fumes, deep burns of any kind—including X-ray and radium burns, and arsenical poisons(as in arsenic insecticides sprayed on fruits and vegetables)
whether breathed in through the lungs or taken as medicine into the system through the mouth or by subcutaneous
injection.” Mr. Barker quotes other authorities to show that“continued medical use of arsenic, even in extremely small
doses, may lead to cancer after 20 years or more, and evenafter the discontinuance of the drug.” He referred to theSilesian miners in the cobalt mines of Schineeverg, “whodeveloped a most unusual form of cancer—a cancer of thelungs, from breathing in arsenic after having been employedin the mines for more than 20 years.” (Medical Voodoo, p.
207)
Dr. George S. Weger, a “reformed” medical doctor whorose head and shoulders above his colleagues, summed up
the cancer situation, in his Genesis and Control of Disease,(p. 334). He wrote:“No germ for cancer has yet been found, and, in theauthor’s opinion none ever will be found. Cancer is one

84disease that is distinctive of toxemia, (poisoning) plus
trauma, plus irritation. It occurs most frequently in selective
areas but may be found anywhere in the body. No infectionof secondary nature is necessary to make this abnormality
a cancer by conversion from something else. If a cancerous
mass breaks down, softens, and suppurates, it is usually in alate stage and signifies a serious breach in the defenses—thevitality of the individual—and the toxemia then immediately takes on the characteristics of sepsis which destroys
the life of the blood.
“Some specialists advance the theory that cancer activity
is dependent upon a vegetable parasite, a protozoa, identified as Trichomonas. It is conceded, however, that thisparasite (if any) is not capable of producing cancer without
the accompaniment of two other important factors: first,
proper soilage (toxemia); second, continued irritation or
injury.”Another cancer authority who recognized that toxemia
or internal poisons cause cancer, is Dr. Robert Bell, VicePresident of the International Society for Cancer Research.
His statement in The Medical Record for March, 1922 reads
as follows:“Cancer is rooted in every drop of blood in the body,and we may as well expect to stop the growing of apples bypicking them off the trees … as to expect to destroy malignancy in the human body by attacking the outward growth‚…. For depend on it, every cell of the body is affected, andhas been affected for a long period, prior to the appearanceof the local outcrop …. In my view, cancer is the outcomeof prolonged toxemia, and a vitiated (polluted) blood supply affecting the nervous system and the efficiency of theendocrine glands, which explains the absence of healthy-metabolism and the dire disturbance which we call cancer.”85

LYMPHATIC INVOLVEMENT
IN CANCER
Without going into technical detail on this subject it is,nevertheless, important to show the relationship of the lymphatic glands to vaccinal cancer. The lymph vessels form afine network that interpenetrates the connective tissue andcovers the entire body. The continuity of these lymph vessels “is interrupted by interposed nodular aggregations oflymph tissue which are known as lymph glands.” (Textbookof Anatomy—Cunningham) One of the functions of thelymph glands is to filter the poisons from circulation before
they reach the cells. When an excess of poison is generated in
the body or is introduced from the outside as in vaccination,
the lymph glands become enlarged in an effort to collect andhold in abeyance, the accumulation of poison. In the case ofblood poisoning or a bite of a poison insect a lump usuallyforms under the arm or in the groin, to meet the emergency,
but disappears again when the condition has healed. In thecase of the continued intake of poison such as tobacco,coffee, drugs, etc., the glands most effected keep enlarging toaccommodate the inflow of poison. A protective coating oftissue is formed around the gland to protect the body fromcollected poisons. It is this wonderful defense mechanismthat the body provides against the ignorance and willfulnessof the individual, that the doctors attack as an enemy. They
call it a wild growth of tissue—a cancer or tumor. To cut
or burn (as with radium, X-ray or surgery) this bulwark ofprotection is to add insult to injury and allow the self-generated poisons to flow unchecked through the body and doserious damage to the vital organs, tissues and glands.
Dr. J. Morrison, former Professor of Chemistry and
Toxicology in the Medical Department of the National
University at Washington, D. C., had ample opportunity
to observe the lymphatic involvement in cancer and other86diseases during his many years as a specialist in nervous andchronic diseases. He was formerly a member of the Medical
Council and Examiner in the College of Physicians andSurgeons, (Ontario, Canada). Regarding cancer he said:“Cancer can only attack the organs and tissues moderately or abundantly supplied by the lymphatic circulation …
Therefore, cancer is a disease of the lymphatic system per sein the same sense that tuberculosis is regarded as a diseaseof the lungs or respiratory system.”Speaking of causes he had this to say: “Two well-known
causes of this fatal malady are, (1) nicotine (tobacco) poisoning and (2) vaccination, which is certainly the most prolificcause of both external and internal cancer …. Vaccine virus
poisons the lymphatic system, impairs its function and lays
the foundation for internal cancer, for which there has hitherto been no (successful medical) treatment or relief.”
In Ontario, Canada, vaccination is very seldom performed and it is not a mere coincidence that cancer is
exceedingly rare there. On the other hand, Massachusetts,in the United States, is one of the nine backward states thatdefy the Constitution in forcing vaccination upon school
children The cancer rate is so high there, that there havebeen established more cancer hospitals per population thanin other states not under compulsory vaccination laws.
However the multiplying of medical hospitals has neversolved the cancer problems because their methods defy thelaws of nature, ignore the cause and purpose interfere withthe orderly healing efforts of the body. As long as continue
to attempt to remove the cancer without of poison) so long
will they meet with failure or, at best, see the temporary
appearance of success. Some of the patients may survive themedical treatments and have no return of the cancer, so far
as outward symptoms are concerned, and yet the interference with the protective efforts of the lymphatic system may87release the poisons into the blood and cause heart trouble
or some other chronic disease.
Some of the most observant doctors have recognized thehazards of cutting or tampering with a growth on the body.
Dr. Leo Loeb, of the University of Pennsylvania, sometimes
referred to as “the father of cancer research in America”,
said that he learned early in his cancer practice that “merely
drawing a silken thread through a benign, slowly-developing
tumor would transform it into a malignant, rapidly developing one,” and that cutting with a knife had the same effect.
In spite of this knowledge among the best qualified
authorities, the cutting and burning is continued (with X-ray,radium and surgery)—no doubt because it is so profitable.
The latest cancer propaganda urges the women to do some
self-diagnosing and hunt for lumps on the breasts. These
lumps are nothing but overworked lymphatic glands andsince most people are toxic they will find some that will feeltender. The medical advice is that they should rush to thenearest hospital and have them operated on, but the adviceof common sense and sound reasoning is to leave themalone and do some internal housecleaning in the form of
fasting and proper diet.
DOES DIET HAVE ANY EFFECTON CANCER?
The American Cancer Society, in a circular entitled Facts
and Fallacies About Cancer says: “Cancer is not caused or
cured by any known diet.” Since most of the statements inthat leaflet are false, this one is not to be taken seriously
either. Abundant evidence to the contrary proves this claim
to be without foundation in fact.
Dr. Willard Parker, who for 30 years held the chair ofsurgery at Columbia University Medical School was quoted
as saying:88

“Luxurious living, and particularly excess in animal
food, increases the waste products of the body, which if
retained in the system have a tendency to produce abnormal growths …. Cancer is to a great degree one of the final
results of a long continued course of error in diet, and astrict dietetic regimen is, therefore, a chief factor in the treatment—preventive and curative.”
Another authoritative voice to be heard on this subject is that of Dr. Horace Packard who in an address to
the Homeopathic Surgical and Gynecological Society of
Chicago in 1915 said:“Some critical examination of the habits of life of civilized, cancer-plagued people, in comparison with the habitsof primitive, cancer-free people, shows that the main difference between them is in a dietary poor in mineral salts
among the cancer plagued and a dietary rich in mineral salts
among the cancer-free people, the most logical and rationalcourse is to adopt this as a keynote to cancer treatment.”
Mineral salt, needless to say, does not mean common
table salt (sodium chloride) which is a poison irritant in
itself, and excessive use of which can cause death in a few
hours. The foods high in mineral salts are fresh vegetables,
fruits, seeds, nuts, grains, sea plants, etc.
This partly accounts for the remarkable recoveries ofcancer patients who had been given up as hopeless by the
medical doctors but who went on a simple fast followed bya grape diet or carrot juice diet at home. Many reports havebeen received of recovery from cancer of the stomach after
a systematic raw carrot juice and vegetable diet but the carrot juice had a negative effect on cancer of the liver. Manycases of external and internal cancer have been reported
cured as a result of a fast followed by a 30-day diet of fresh(unsprayed) grapes. Some used crushed grape leaf poultices
on the external cancer. Others have recovered on an extended

89

fast including water but no food or juices. One cancer patient
did not respond to this or any other treatment. She had been
under medical care and had received the full course of X-ray,radium and surgery, before she decided to go to a druglesssanitarium to try the fasting and diet regimen. Even fasting
cannot save the patient when cell degeneration has advanced
to the point where a large percentage of a vital organ has
been destroyed. However, even these hopeless cases experience an easy and more painless death by fasting, this is far
superior to morphine or other drugs.
HOW SHALL WE LEARNABOUT FASTING?
Since fasting (the foundation of healing) is not taught inthe schools, not even medical schools, where healing should
be taught, how shall we learn the correct technique of thisimportant healing measure. Few writers are sufficiently experienced in fasting to be qualified to write on this subject,
therefore there are only a very few dependable books available that should be used as guides. As wonderful as the fast
is in eliminating pain, and disease it should be preceded by athorough study of the technique of fasting in order to knowwhat to do about the reactions or healing crises that occur
from time to time as the accumulation of toxins are brought
into circulation to be eliminated. These reactions may be in
the form of fainting, vomiting, diarrhea, coughing or someother violent cleansing effort. Unless the patient understands
the situation he may become alarmed and call a doctor who
would give drugs to suppress the discharges. All drugs arepoison and poisons at this critical time could cause death.
The most experienced fasting authority in this country is Dr. Herbert M. Shelton who has fasted thousandsof patients with almost miraculous results. Therefore, hisbook on fasting, (Volume II of The Hygienic System) is the90

standard authority on the subject. Therapeutic Fasting by
Arnold De Vries is another reliable book. This author fasted
45 days to test this system after studying many of the best
books on the subject.
There are several other books that cover the subject of
the fast but do not give sufficient data on breaking the fastand how to follow it up. The right way to end or break thefast is as important as the fast itself and can be dangerous if
the wrong foods are eaten at this time. The appetite returns
after a complete fast and the patient may be tempted to eatsome of the same foods he considered nourishing before thefast, only to learn that his body chemistry has normalized
during the fast and many wrong foods will react as poisons.
For instance, one person broke the fast on two chocolatebars and soon died as a result of it. Chocolate contains apoisonous drug (theobromine) which is almost as harmful
as the drugs in coffee. Another person broke the fast on
beef steak and fried potatoes and also died soon after. No
one dies of a fast if it is properly conducted and terminated.
Most medical doctors think that fasting is starving but the
average person, even a sick person, can fast 40 days before
the starvation process even begins to take place. This point isusually indicated by the pink, clean tongue, which has beengray and coated during the fast. This is the cue to break thefast, as the cleansing is completed. If the fast is continued
after that point the body begins to use some of the tissuesof lesser importance in the starvation process. Fasting isnever intended to extend into the starving period, therefore
fasting is not starving.
WHAT KILLED BERNARR MACFADDEN?
The newspapers quoted the doctors as saying that Bernarr
MacFadden died of a three-day fast. They also quoted hislawyer as saying the same thing. The lawyer, Harry Gilgulin,91was shocked when he read the statement he was supposed
to have made. Excerpts from a published letter (Hygienic
Review, Jan 1956) refuting this statement are as follows:“I could never have made such a statement since I myself
fasted some eight or nine times for a total of 175 days andbenefitted enormously from each of these fasts. . . Threeof my fasts were of 30 days duration and my wife’s two
fasts were of 34 and 30-day duration.. . As a staunch supporter and enthusiastic advocate of hygienic living and an
ardent believer in fasting, it must be obvious to you that I
could never have made the statement attributed to me by
the newspapers.
“What I did tell the reporters was that whenever Mr.
MacFadden didn’t feel well, he would go on a short fast of
several days duration . . . He had fasted three days but broke
the fast improperly by one small glass of fruit juice in themorning and a meat meal with eight or more pals of butter
in the evening and that the improper breaking of the fast is
not only dangerous but may lead to dire consequences andeven death.”
Mr. MacFadden was taken to the hospital and what
they did to him in the way of shots and medicines was notstated, but he died soon after being taken to the hospital.
People do not die of three day fasts, especially athletic men
like MacFadden who are used to fasting. I talked to a man
who had just completed a 21 day fast to restore his eyesight. He had been totally blind for 9 months. The fast hadcleansed his blood stream enough to enable the opaque film
over his eyes to dissolve and he was reading a newspaper
when I met him. Soon after that I talked with a man who
had just completed a 60 day fast to cure a persistent case ofpsoriasis. He was entirely healed after the fast on water—nofood or juices—and had so improved in health and strengththat he was helping the workmen dig a swimming pool at

92

Dr. Bernard C. Jensen’s health sanitarium where he fasted.
Dr. Shelton, in his Hygienic System, Vol. 7, page 613
said:“The effects of fasting are certain. There is nothing
hit-or-miss about the process. It works always in the samegeneral direction.”
This deviation into the subject of fasting and diet may
seem a little off the subject in a chapter on cancer yet it is ofgreat importance in that it offers the best solution to the cancer problem. In fact it is the basis of healing of all diseases,
with the possible exception of those which are products of
the imagination. Even in those cases a fast would help themental and emotional re-adjustment.
Since beginning this chapter on cancer my attention has
been called to a severe, seemingly hopeless case of cancer ofseven years standing. The woman has been a bed patient,
unable to walk for many years. Recently she abandoned her
medical treatment and, as a last resort, decided to try what
her doctors called a “crackpot diet.” This simple diet, sofrowned upon by medical men, is nothing but freshly madecarrot juice, one or two quarts a day, a glass or so every hour.
After six days on this carrot juice she had the first peacefulnight’s sleep, without pain, in seven years. At the end of two
weeks she could walk, with aid, to the car and go for a ride.
Distressing reactions will no doubt, be experienced withinfour more weeks but she will be prepared and understandwhat to do. She has learned that there is hope of recovery
from cancer and all diseases when the simple laws of nature
are understood and followed.

WHAT’S WRONG WITHEARLY DIAGNOSIS?
The medical profession boasts of having “three proved curesfor cancer” namely X-ray, radium and surgery, and yet thecancer-rate continues to mount year after year. When people
ask the reason for this, the doctor’s favorite answer is: “Thepatients came too late—early diagnosis would have saved
them.” We might be able to believe this argument if it were
not for the fact that there never was a time in recorded history when there was so much early diagnosis as right now
in this country.
This mass diagnosis starts at the tender age of four anda half years when the children start to kindergarten. The
teachers are instructed to examine the children every day
for obvious symptoms of disease and report it to the school
nurse. The nurse examines them, herself, each week andreports her findings to the doctors and the doctors and dentists come in for their check once or twice a year to roundup considerable business for themselves by frightening theparents into needless treatments and operations for theirchildren. The tonsils are the most vulnerable targets of these“mixed up” doctors. Tonsils are very necessary lymphatic
glands of filtration that enlarge when the body is overloadedwith incompatible foods and drugs. Certain drugless doctors
claim and have proved that enlarged tonsils are 100 per centcurable under the right non-medical treatment.
The public is bombarded with cancer literature stressing the need for early diagnosis. The people are even told
to do their own diagnosis—hunt for lumps on the breast,
growths, moles, sores, etc., that could be treated as cancer.
And yet, the doctors, themselves, don’t even know how to
detect cancer in many cases. No wonder there is so much
confusion, suffering and death with so many blind leadersof the blind. On page 8 of the Doctor’s Manual put out by

94the American Cancer Society we read:“It is a well-known fact that a considerable number ofmalignant tumors are not recognized by the doctors themselves when the patients present the early symptoms of thedisease. The early diagnosis of cancer is the one factor ofgreatest importance in the successful control of the disease,but unfortunately the early symptoms of cancer are not distinctive, and serve only to arouse suspicion of the presenceof the disease . . . In most situations, the dictum holds truethat the more certain the diagnosis the less the probabilityof cure.”So here we have the admission from the medical cancer
field, that they are not sure how to detect cancer until it is
too advanced to be cured.
I have had patients tell me that when they went to
the doctor with a painful lump the doctor said it had notreached the cancer stage and they had nothing to preventits developing into cancer but to come back in a few months
when it had turned to cancer and they could use their standard “cures” (?) radium, X-ray, and surgery.
During the frenzy of one of the Cancer Week scare campaigns, someone asked the question, “Is there not somedanger in developing “cancerphobia” in the public mindby this scare-head publicity?”
Dr. John Cerster, chairman of the New York Committeeof the Society for Control of Cancer, replied that “it would
be a good thing if it did; anything that would scare thepeople into going to a physician for an examination would
be beneficial.”
The financial benefit to the doctors is apparent but thebenefit to the people is in reverse ratio to the amount of
diagnosis and treatment given. This is obvious since thecancer rate has quadrupled within the past ten years.
Dr. G. Earl Thomas has charged that, “cancer is the95most profitable disease that the members of the A.M.A..
have.”
One of the noted American cancer authorities, Dr. L.
Duncan Bulkley, senior surgeon of the New York Skin andCancer Hospital, denounced the popular medical claim thatcancer is a “surgical disease” when he stated:“Cancer is not a surgical disease. Neither surgery not
X-ray nor radium have changed, in anyway whatever, theultimate mortality of cancer in forty years. It was 90 per
cent in 1884. Now it is 92 percent”.
For more details on the other side of the cancer question see the book, Is Cancer Curable? published by HealthResearch.

CHAPTER 6
SYPHILIS AND VACCINATION“If syphilis were as infectious as most medical men believe
it to be, there would not be an uninfected person in theworld.”—John Tilden, M.D.
Dr. M. Ricord, one of the most noted authorities on syphilitic affections, in a lecture to medical men in Paris, said:“At first I repelled the idea that syphilis could be transmitted by vaccination.
The recurrence of facts appearing more and more
confirmatory, I accepted the possibility of this mode oftransmission, I should say, with reserve, and even withrepugnance; but today, in the face of all these facts I hesitate no more to proclaim their reality Who, pray, will run
such a risk to escape smallpox?”
Dr Brundenell Carter, surgeon to St George s Hospital,
London, observed: “I think that a large proportion of thecases of apparently inherited syphilis are in reality vaccinal; and that the syphilis in these cases does not show itself
until the age of from eight to ten years, by which time therelation between cause (vaccination) and effect (syphilis)
are lost sight of.”Dr. Ballard, one of the vaccine inspectors for the English
government stated:
There can be no doubt that the vaccine virus and thesyphilitic virus may both be drawn at the same time, upon
the same instrument, from one and the same vesicle. The
vesicle which is thus capable of furnishing both vaccine andsyphilitic virus may present, prior to being opened, all thenormal and fully developed characters of the true Jennerianvesicle as ordinarily met with”

97

In his book entitled Compulsory Vaccination, from his
years’ world wide research, Dr. J. M. Peebles (M.D., Ph.D.)
gave an account of seventeen school girls who developed
syphilis as a result of vaccination at Lebus, near Frankfort.
Yet the vaccinator’s report stated that the vaccinations
were from the regular, official calf-lymph “absolutely pure,glycerinated, sterilized, all germs but the ‘vaccine sporule’,destroyed, hermetically sealed until used.”Protesting the vaccination laws in various cities he says:“Think of it, fathers and mothers, who would bring yourdaughters up to be comely, chaste and pure, that your stateand municipality should place you under absolute compulsion to observe a rite to taint these maidens with the diseaseagainst which civilization revolts.”
Nichols adds, “At the present time little children are
subject to the assault (with a deadly weapon—the poisoned
needle) , and a healthy, unvaccinated child, in the eye of thelaw, is considered a nuisance and as dangerous at time ofan epidemic as a mad dog.”“Viewed in this light,” Nichols continues, (in his Blunderin Poisons page 41) the blunder, perhaps of greater gravity
than that of transmission of tuberculosis by vaccination,
again becomes the crime; vaccination for mere businessinterest would be (and is) a deliberate assault on the healthof a community, and the medical man committing theassault might well be termed ‘a perverter of common sense
and an enemy of the human race’ “.
In The Vaccination Superstition (p. 35) Dr. J. W. Hodge
writes:“Think of the unparalleled absurdity of deliberately
infecting the organism of a healthy child with the poisonous
matter obtained from the sores of a sick animal, under thepretense of protecting the victim of the ingrafted disease,against the contagion of another disease.

98

“So-called successful vaccination is nothing less than theimplanting into the body, the virulent products of diseased
animal tissue, with the effect of inducing actual disease. The
performance of such an operation, in the very nature of thecase, violates every principle of modern aseptic surgery, thelegitimate aim of which is to remove from the organism theproducts of disease and never to introduce them.”
Professor Scott Tebb, in a treatise against compulsory
vaccination stated:“Once admitted that the risk of contracting venereal
disease is real, and one which no amount of care can guard
against even if vaccination were a preventive of smallpox,
all ground for compulsion vanishes, for it then becomes aground for personal responsibility, as in any other operation
or treatment involving risk of life and health No surgeon
would dream of administering chloroform or per-forming
the most trivial operation without first gaining the patient’s
consent, and therefore, no authority, whether medical
or state, has the right to override the patient s scruples
Compulsory vaccination is now beginning to be recognized,even by medical men, as a grievous and mischievous mistake, and I have not the slightest doubt that the profession
would gladly relinquish it tomorrow, if their credit and prestige were not so deeply involved.”
So enormous are the profits from vaccination that manyefforts are made by members of the medical profession tominimize the dangers of syphilis caused by vaccination.
One of these, Dr. Henry A. Martain, of Boston wrote a
paper denying the possibility of syphilitic infection from thiscause. The London Lancet (Medical Journal) in criticizing
this paper said: “The notion that animal lymph would befree from chances of syphilitic contamination is so fallaciousthat we are surprised to see Dr. Martain reproduce it.”Professor Fournier said: “A real and serious danger99

incurred in vaccination is that every (vaccinated) individual is destined to undergo, one or several times in his life
the danger of vaccinal syphilis. For myself alone, I haveknowledge of two actual epidemics of this disease (vaccinalsyphilis)”.
ENCYCLOPEDIA ON VACCINAL SYPHILISIn the Encyclopedia Britannica (9th edition) under the heading “Smallpox— Cowpox,” Dr. Charles Creighton says:“The real affinity of cowpox is not to smallpox, but tothe great pox (syphilis). The vaccinal roseola is not only
very like the syphilitic roseola, but it means the same sortof thing. The vaccinal ulcer of everyday practice is, to all
intents and purposes, a chancre (syphilitic ulcer).”“The photographs, Fig. 1 and 2 show the marked similarity between the smallpox vaccination roseola and thesyphilis ulcer.
In his voluminous work on vaccination Crookshanktells us that “Auzias Turenne, of France, was the first to
point out that cowpox is analogous to syphilis; but even theearliest opponents of vaccination regarded the disease as“lues bovilla”, (syphilis) and it had even been suggested thatthe cow had derived the complaint from milkers who wereaffected with syphilis. However, there is no more ground forbelieving in the latter theory than there is for believing that
cowpox is produced by milkers suffering from smallpox.
It is the course which the malady runs which brings it
so closely into relations with syphilis‚ …. There appears
to be very little doubt that syphilis may be transmitted by
vaccination; but many cases which are attributed to syphilis
are unquestionably the full effects of cowpox virus; andnothing could more clearly point to the analogy between
the two diseases than the difficulty in diagnosing the exact
nature of vaccinal accidents (diseases)”.

100

“Again, if we study the effects of syphilis artificiallyinoculated on the human subject, the appearance in somecases are strikingly similar to inoculated horse-pox. Without
entering into a prolonged discussion of this subject, I willrefer, as an example, to the progress in Dr. Ricord’s casesof syphilization. As in inoculated horse-pox we have thestages of papule, vesicle, ulcer, scab and scar; and no one
can compare his plates with Jenner’s without being struck
with the similarity in their appearances. (See Fig. 2 and 3)
Fig. 3“The results of the artificial inoculation of syphilis were
unknown to Jenner, but if they had been he would scarcely
have failed to have observed the likeness between them. So
striking indeed are the appearances, that it is possible thatby judicious selection, a strain of syphilitic lymph might
be cultivated which would produce in time, all the physicalcharacteristics of the ‘vaccine’ vesicle.”
MORE EVIDENCE
In The Vaccination Superstition by J. W. Hodge, M.D. weread:“To the scientific physician, conclusive evidence ofthe real affinity of cowpox is furnished at a glance, by thepathological diagnostic table of M. R. Leverson, M.D., Ph.
D. … which was read before the American Association of
Physicians and Surgeons at Indianapolis, (Jan. 1896) andhas been unquestioned by the profession.
“The table which I now present to you, is a condensed
statement in paralleled columns, of the primary and secondary symptoms of smallpox, cowpox and syphilis, fromthe separate descriptions of the most renowned authorities
upon these several diseases. It shows an almost complete
likeness between the two latter and the total unlikeness ofeach to (natural, uninduced) smallpox. Here we have some101

of the highest authorities who have produced the clearest
evidence showing that vaccinia (vaccination disease) is modified syphilis. The chronic and protean manifestations which,at times, follow vaccination must have impressed us all with
their close analogy to syphilitic lesions.”
COMPARISON OF
SMALLPOX, COWPOX AND SYPHILISSMALLPOX
1—Eruption general, superficial.
2—Constitutional or general symptoms precede theeruption and are relieved on appearance.
3—Eruption first felt as a No. 8 bird shot beneath theskin, it then appears as a papule; then a vesicle, becoming
pustular about the 5th or 6th day, is from one to three lines
in length; but the pustules are of various kinds, irregular,
elevated, generally perforated by a hair, induration, if any,
very slight, no tendency to gnawing ulceration of the skin.
4—The fluid is contained in two chambers—a superficial
and a deep, which communicate around the edges of theseparating membrane.
5—The smallpox pustules leave no scar if properly
treated.
6—The smallpox eruption does not affect the lymphatic
system.
7—Infectious.
8—Inoculable.
9—The smallpox epidemic seems to be taking its risein filthy locations. (Also, when the body is contaminatedwith vaccines, drugs and incompatible foods and impure
water, etc.)
COWPOX (vaccination) Primary Lesion102

1. Eruption local, deep, in corium of skin or subcutaneous tissue or in mucous membrane.
2—Constitutional symptoms do not precede but follow
the eruption in all cases.
3—Pustule (chancre) always the same, first a papule,then a vesicle, becoming pustular about the 8th day, 7 to 10
lines in diameter, round, centrally depressed, margin indurated and not perforated by a hair, has a cellular membraneat floor, tendency to gnawing ulceration.
4. The fluid is contained in a single chamber, reticulated,
is non-volatile, and the infection is communicated only byimmediate contact with an abraded surface.
5—The cowpox leaves a foveated scar.
6—The cowpox poison permeates the lymphatic channels
and ganglia, causing inflammation, buboes, and abscesses.
7—Not infectious.
8—Inoculable.
9—Cowpox is independent of time and place; communicated only by direct inoculation.
SYPHILIS or Greatpox
1—Eruption local, deep, in the corium of skin or subcutaneous tissue, or in the mucous membrane.
2—Constitutional symptoms do not precede but follow
the eruption in all cases.
3—Pustule always the same, first a papule rapidly
becoming pustular without perceptibly passing through avesicular stage, 7 to 10 lines in diameter, scooped out, deep
funnel-shaped with sloping often elevated, .not perforated
by a hair, has a fungoid membrane at floor, tendency to a
gnawing ulceration.
4—Absolutely the same as the cowpox.
5—Similar to the scar of cowpox.
6—Absolutely the same as the cowpox.
7—Not infectious.
103

8—Inoculable.
9—Absolutely the same as cowpox.
“The smallpox patient, upon recovery, is free from thedisease even if he is marked by scars. Smallpox will not beget
cowpox or syphilis.
“On the contrary, there are various subsequent manifestations in vaccination, or cowpox, which are remarkably
like those that appear in what are known as secondary andtertiary periods of syphilis.
“We have tabulated in parallel columns some of themany manifestations that appear in both these diseases, anda glance will reveal their striking similarity.”

WHY VACCINATION CANNOT IMMUNIZEAGAINST SMALLPOX
Smallpox, to a large extent, went out when improved sanitation came in, except in countries where vaccination iscompulsory. There the smallpox epidemics continue to ravage the population at frequent intervals.
Unrefutable, scientific evidence proves that smallpox
and cowpox are not the same disease, therefore, cowpox
vaccination cannot introduce anti-bodies into the systemthat fight smallpox, as is claimed by the medical doctors.
As stated before, smallpox, (as well as disease in general,)is an enforced cleansing effort of the body. If the patients get
eruptive diseases, like smallpox, after vaccination it merely
indicates that they have internal vitality enough to throw
off some of the excess poison in this violent way. Usually,
however, the vaccine poison so lowers the resistance of the
body that it cannot rally enough reserves for a defensive
action in the form of an eruptive disease. Therefore, thepoisons are retained where they corrode and destroy thetissues of the heart, kidneys, lungs and other vital organs.
This suppression of symptoms and masking of one disease
with another—this delayed reaction in disease causation—is
what the medical profession calls the conquering of diseaseby antibiotics.
Dr. Chauven, in an address before the French Academyof medicine, October, 1891, reviewed the results of his yearsof detailed and carefully tested experiments. In the face ofundeniable facts he was forced to the conclusion that:(1) “Vaccine virus never gives smallpox to anyone.”(Although it produces many diseases, some of which resemble smallpox and are diagnosed as smallpox and are moredamaging than smallpox.)(2) “Vaccinia (disease produced by vaccination) is noteven attenuated smallpox.

105

“Vaccinia is, in all probability, a modified form of syphilis, as has been clearly pointed out by Doctors Charles
Creighton and E. M. Crookshank, Professor of Pathology
and Bacteriology in King’s College, London, two of thehighest authorities on these subjects.”

CHAPTER 7
OTHER DISEASESCAUSED BY VACCINATION“Are we the issue of an inferior stock, or are we
inferior representatives of men who were physicallyand culturally our superiors?”—From Genesis and Control of Disease—Weger
Even now, in what is sometimes called the enlightened age,
we still hear some people, (not so enlightened) claim or
repeat what they have been taught to say, that “vaccination
has reduced smallpox and certain other diseases, and has
been a blessing to mankind.” Those who make this claim
have not bothered to consult authentic records or becomeacquainted with the most elementary facts on the subject.
When traced down, these statements are found to originate from the fabricated propaganda of those who profit
from the sale of serums and drugs. Unfortunately many ofthese people are in places of authority where they influence
the thinking of students, writers, public officials, teachersand others who mold the thinking of the masses. Theseerrors in theory and practice have steadily reduced ournations health to a state of crisis in which 90 per cent of
the people are either critically ill or below par, physicallyor mentally.
In addition to the vaccination diseases treated separately
in other chapters, there are a number of other serious diseases that have been traced directly to vaccination. Someof the most noticeably persistent of these will be treated inthis chapter.

107

GOVERNMENT REPORTS REVEAL
MORE DEATHS FROM VACCINATION
THAN FROM SMALLPOX
Dr. D. Killick Millard, Medical Officer of Health,(Leicester, England) in reporting on this subject stated (inhis book The Vaccination Question):“It cannot be denied that vaccination causes, in theaggregate, very considerable injury to health, most of it
only temporary (?) but some permanent. It is true that thedeaths certified as due to vaccination ... have several times
outnumbered those from smallpox, while if we have regard
for the amount of ill-health caused by the two diseases . . . it
looks as if vaccinia were becoming, so far as the community
is concerned, the more serious disease of the two.”
30,438 SOLDIERS WERE STRICKENBY VACCINATION DISEASEThe Report of the Surgeon General of the Army, (1919)
Vol. I, page 37, gives the number of admissions to hospitals
during the year 1918, on account of vaccinia (vaccinationdisease) as 10,830.
The Report of the Surgeon General of the Army, (1918)
gives me the number of admissions to hospitals during theyear 1917, on account of vaccinia and vaccinal-typhoid combined as 19,608.
Here we find that in only two years of the war and in
only one army there were over 30,000 soldiers hospitalizedby vaccination. This does not take into consideration thethousands who were seriously ill but not critical enough to behospitalized, nor the cases of chronic disease that developed
later as a result of the cumulative effects of poisons fromvaccines and drugs.
Herbert Spencer, in his History of Epidemics in GreatBritain voiced the sentiments of the best authorities when108

he said:“Vaccination, in subduing one disease only increases
others.”Charles M. Higgins made an extensive and thoroughworld-wide investigation and study of the vaccination question and reported most of the pertinent data in his book
“The Horrors of Vaccination Exposed.” In his effort tobring the dangers of vaccination to the attention of thepeople he, for several years, carried a paid advertisement in
one of the large New York dailies, challenging the New York
City and State Health Departments to open their books,
and he “would undertake to prove from their own records
that there had been more deaths from vaccination than fromsmallpox in New York, every year for the past 15 years.”
His challenge was never accepted. The facts were notreported to the people and the killing of innocent children
has continued without interruption, down through the years.
DEFECTIVE TEETH AND EYESIGHT
TRACED TO VACCINATION
In his book, Vaccination a Disastrous Delusion (p. 13) Ernest
McCormick, discussed the findings of the researcher, Sir
James Paget as follows:“In the same cause he finds a probable explanation forthe defective eyesight and dentition which have become
so prevalent, giving examples to show that, owing to theteeth and sense organs arising out of the dermal layer inthe embryo, skin diseases, of which vaccination is one, arelikely to produce abnormalities in all of these. According to
The Lancet (British Medical Journal, 1904) 85 per cent ofschool children have defective teeth and 3,000 servicemen(all vaccinated) were returned from South Africa, from thatcause alone, while the Navy is still worse in that respect.
Sir William Osler (M.D.), in his Principles and Practice109

of Medicine, in discussing the various characteristics ofvaccinia says:“About the end of the first week: Generalized vaccina;
impetigo; vaccinal ulceration; glandular abscess; septic
infections; gangrene.”Dr. Osler is one of the most completely accepted andrespected authorities on medicine in the world. He wasRegius Professor of Medicine at Oxford University and
Fellow of the Royal College of Physicians (London),and Honorary Professor of Medicine at Johns Hopkins
University, (U.S.). He knew the financial importance ofvaccination (to the medical profession) and he knew the
professional hazards of making any unfavorable statements
about vaccination, yet he publicly admitted that some of themost loathsome and painful diseases including leprosy andsyphilis were caused by vaccination.
Ricardo Corfield, of Lowell Ave., Providence, Rhode
Island, was vaccinated at the age of 5 years and 4 months
in order to secure admission to school. His arm swelled andthe ulcer enlarged until pieces of decayed flesh dropped off
leaving the bone exposed. On September 5th the tendons
under the right knee became so enlarged and painful thatthe child cried out in agony. An incision was made and morethan a quart of putrid, brown matter exuded. The shin bonerotted off.” (From—Victims of State Poisoning, publishedby Liberator Pub. Co., Minneapolis, Minn.)
FOOT AND MOUTH DISEASE
CAUSED BY VACCINATION“The Department of Agriculture, in its efforts to suppress
the foot-and-mouth disease traced the disease to the vaccine
virus imported into the United States by our manufacturingchemists and sold to our people. The investigation revealed
that the virus, used upon calves in the District of Columbia,

110communicated the foot-and mouth disease to them.” (Fromthe Declaration by the late Senator Dolliver, of Iowa, in an
address to the United States Senate, February 25, 1909.)
From the Farmer’s Bulletin, (page 15) April 22, 1915,
published by the U.S. Department of Agriculture, we havethe following statement:“The foot-and-mouth disease is primarily a disease of
cattle; secondarily and casually, a disease of man .... It is
probable that the infection may be communicated to man
if the virus directly enters the blood through wounds of any
kind . . . The symptoms in man resemble those observed inanimals.”
WHAT OTHER AUTHORITIES SAYABOUT VACCINATION AND DISEASE
Dr. William Hitchman, Consulting Surgeon to the Cancer
Hospital of Leeds and formerly public vaccinator to the Cityof Liverpool, expressly stated that, ‘Syphi1is, abdominal
phthisis, scrofula, cancer, erysipelas, and almost all diseasesof the skin, have been either conveyed, or intensified by
vaccination.”
Dr. Peebles, (world renowned researcher and authority on vaccination) stated in his book on Compulsory
Vaccination:“We shall never stamp out smallpox, cancer, consumption, or leprosy, so long as we continue to stamp them inthrough the idiotic and vicious practice of vaccination. The
Germans endeavored to stamp out syphilis by stamping it inwith syphilized vaccine. They have abandoned that practice
now and in time they will abandon vaccination altogether.”In the Encyclopedia Britannica (9th edition), under thetitle of Vaccination, by Dr. Charles Creighton, we find somecarefully authenticated statistics showing that vaccination
has caused a great many cases of syphilis, cancer, tumors,

111

scrofula, eczema, tuberculosis, etc.
In his Vaccine and Serum Evils (page 6) Dr. Herbert
M. Shelton discusses some of the complications that often
accompany or follow vaccination. He writes:“Abscess, sloughing, cellulitis, erysipelas, syphilis, leprosy, tuberculosis, tetanus(lock jaw), actinomycosis (bigjaw), general septic infection, urticarial eruptions, ‘paralysis,
meningitis, sleeping sickness, etc., may follow vaccination.... In some instances the abscess that may form, refuses toheal. I saw one case of this kind where the abscess continued
to discharge pus after 14 years.”
From the high ranking medical authority Dr. William
Osler we have this concession:“Syphilis has undoubtedly been transmitted by
vaccination.”
Under the topic heading, Influence of Vaccination Upon
Other Diseases, Dr. Osler says:“A quiescent malady may be lighted into activity by
vaccination. This happens with congenital syphilis andoccasionally with tuberculosis . . . At the height of thevaccination, convulsions may occur and be followed byhemiplegia (paralysis of one side of the body).”
Our recent “vaccination” wars have presented a dismal
picture of paralysis among the soldiers with large hospitalwards filled with paraplegics (paralysis of both sides) andhemiplegics (paralysis of one side.) Thus we see that thedoctors know and the government knows what vaccination
is doing to our service men and civilians. Why have theyturned their “blind side” to it and allowed it to continue?

112

VACCINATION INCREASES COMMON DISEASESSUCH AS MEASLES INFLUENZA, CHICKEN-POX,MUMPS, SCARLET FEVER, ETC.
Not only do vaccine poisons cause some of the strange andterrible diseases that baffle the doctors, but these same poisons also increase the incidence of the common “zymotic”
diseases such as measles, chicken-pox, mumps, scarlet fever,etc., which are usually referred to as “contagious diseases.”
These diseases are not contagious but are merely cleansing
measures of the body in its effort to eliminate some of theexcess poison and waste matter.
CITY SURVEY BEFORE AND AFTERVACCINATION SHOWS INCREASE IN DISEASE
Wherever an honest survey is made after a vaccination campaign it is noticed that there is always a marked increasein disease. Thomas Morgan, in his “Medical Delusions”
reports a survey that was made of the city of Youngstown,
Ohio, after a general vaccination order of school children.
“It was found that nearly all the cases of scarlet fever, measles and diphtheria had been recently vaccinated.
What is true of this city is true everywhere, and any close
observer can satisfy himself in this direction.”
After reading this I decided to “satisfy myself in thisdirection” as suggested; so I obtained a Los Angeles County
Health Index, which gives the weekly record of diseases forthe entire year (this was 1954).
I was amazed to find that the common diseases mentioned by Morgan, more than doubled after the annual June
vaccination campaign. The figures are given below and will
speak for themselves.

SMALLPOX REPORTS
In numerous reports we find incontestable proof fromgovernment records and hospital data, etc., that smallpox
increased in the countries having compulsory vaccination.
It is only natural that it should do so because the admitted
purpose of vaccination is to engraft a mild form of smallpox
into the patient. Because there is no test and no control that
can assure a mild case, we find that the induced disease isoften more severe than natural smallpox, and frequently
terminates in death.
In disregard to the known facts and the statements of
the world’s greatest medical authorities on the subject, theLos Angeles (city and county) health departments claimthat their annual vaccination campaigns have absolutely
wiped out smallpox in the county. In this large population of
4,000,000 people (Los Angeles county) with its thousands of114

people infected with disease in each vaccination drive, andthe increase of all other diseases after each of these blood
5 poisoning sprees, the record department omits from therecords all the smallpox cases and issues the report that“there has not been one case of smallpox in the county forthe past ten years.” In the complete record of 48 diseases
reported, smallpox was the only one on the list that showedno report of cases.
When a “cover-up” job is over-done it makes people
suspicious so I went to the County Hospital to check moreclosely. They willingly gave me the information I asked foron all other diseases except smallpox. The record department flatly refused to let me see those records or even know
if these were any cases at that time in the hospital.
Disgusted, but not discouraged, I walked across thegrounds toward the contagion ward and met a nurse comingfrom there. I walked with her and chatted a bit then asked
her if there were any cases of smallpox in her department.
She said, “Yes”. I asked how many there were and she said,“I haven’t any idea.” I said, “I take it from that, that there
are more than a half a dozen?” She said, “Oh, yes—I haven’t
been assigned the job of counting them so I really don’t
know.” I said, “Are you sure they are smallpox and not justchickenpox” She said, “They’re smallpox. We keep themseparate from the chickenpox.”
I rushed back to the record department and told them
what I had learned and demanded to see the records thatshould be public property in a tax supported public institution. The girl looked worried and went into the inner officeand called someone on the phone. When she came backshe said that the smallpox report was not available as it was
being worked on. So there we have the answer.
Whenever we see a statement about smallpox being
wiped out by vaccination, we can be quite sure that the115cases have been concealed in the “closed” contagion ward
and the records have been worked on. Other investigations
have shown that in this official scrambling of figures, themild cases of smallpox are placed on the list of such diseases as chickenpox and measles, while the serious cases arerecorded as syphilis, scrofula or something else
George Bernard Shaw said, “During the last considerable epidemic at the turn of the century, I was a member ofthe Health Committee of London Borough Council, and I
learned how the credit of vaccination is kept up statisticallyby diagnosing all the re-vaccinated cases (of smallpox) as
pustular eczema, varioloid or what not—except smallpox.”
POST-WAR GERMANY
REVEALS TRUTH ABOUT VACCINATIONIn the American Sector of Occupied Germany, when theAmerican medico-drug combine moved in for a sweeping
vaccination campaign, the Germans begged to be spared,on the ground that they no longer had the hospitals, help,
medicines or equipment that would be required to take careof the outbreak of disease that would and had always followed vaccination campaigns. Germany had been undercompulsory vaccination in previous years and her doctors
had made lush profits from the crop of diseases induced byeach vaccination drive. When it was seen that the profits
were to be made by the foreign invaders (America), they
admitted the uselessness of the practice, as well as the physical and financial disadvantages to their people.
WHAT DOES VACCINATIONDO TO THE BODY?
“Citing an admission by Sir James Paget that vaccination
probably effects a permanent change in the components ofthe body, he inquires whether it is likely that the constitution116

can be altered in relation to one invading agent (like vaccine
serum from diseased animal tissue or pus or from drugs) andremain unchanged in regard to all other invading agents.
There is every reason ... to believe the contrary, and to thinkthat a system which has taken up a morbific principle, eventhough it should acquire thereby, immunity from cognatedisease, must have its power of resistance to perturbing
influences in general, diminished.
Mr. Spencer (Herbert) finds evidence of this general relative debility in the greatly increased severity and enlarged
incidence of many diseases such as measles, chickenpox, andinfluenza, which, before vaccination became general, wereof relatively rare occurrence and trifling in their effect. By a
comparison of the infant mortality returns in quinquennial(five year) periods before and since compulsory vaccination,
he finds that ‘the mortality from 8 specified diseases, either
directly communicable or exacerbated (aggravated) by vaccination, increased from 20,524 to 41,353 per million births
per annum.” (From—Vaccination a Disastrous Delusion,by McCormick - page 13.)VACCINE CANNOT BE MADE SAFEThe backbone of the vaccine argument is that it has been
made safe —modified—by passing the virus through a cow
and later all the harmful organisms are supposed to havebeen killed in the processing and glycerinizing, except a few
select ones that are earmarked to produce the anti-bodies
in the human organism.
The absurdity of this is too apparent for any serious
argument. (See chapter on How Serums are Made—Book
II) It has been scientifically proved and tested that what ispromised for vaccine virus is not so. Dr. Cameron, summed
this up in his report before the Lyons Commission when hestated:117

“The character of the virus cannot be changed by passing
it through the cow, anymore than by stunting an oak it can beconverted into a gooseberry bush.”
If the vaccine virus had been modified or made safe bypassing it through the body of an animal and then processing it, there would not be the ever-increasing list of deathsand disasters from vaccination. A few of the many examplesof this will be given in the following pages of this chapter.
Most of the cases are selected from the Rowton survey ofDenver and Colorado Springs, Colorado. (The addresses
are omitted, but on file.)
CASE HISTORIESHEART TROUBLE FROM VACCINATION
Earl Richardson, (Colorado Springs) was vaccinated by
the local doctor when six years of age. Up to that time hewas strong and healthy, but 9 days after the vaccination hedeveloped an illness accompanied by extreme nervousness
that the doctor diagnosed as St.Vitus Dance. He was given
an examination and found the heart and other organs to besound and unaffected. A few days later complications set inand the doctor was called again. On examination he foundthat the boy had developed a valvular heart condition. The
mother took him to Kentucky to three heart specialists who
all declared that it was due to infection. One doctor said theailment was probably due to vaccination, as he had seensome other cases of valvular heart trouble develop after
vaccination. Four years later, when Mr. Rowton had his lastinterview with this family, the child was still too ill to attend
school. His mother said he often had to sleep sitting up in
bed on account of the heart condition.
It’s a strange law that compels children to be vaccinatedin order to attend school and then disables them so they118

cannot attend—anything.
According to Newsweek, April 25, 1955, heart trouble,
our number one killer, takes 794,000 victims each year and
10 million Americans suffer from it.
Less than a third of the deaths were caused by heart
trouble 20 years ago. “Today, it causes more than one deathout of every two.
“The cost is staggering: Industry loses the work of
653,000 men annually because of heart disease disabilities; annual compensation and pensions to veterans total$168,000,000.”
Many of these same industries that are pressed withheavy disability costs are the ones that require compulsory
vaccination of their employees.
The heart is the strongest muscle in the body and it
takes an extreme amount of poison or abuse to impair its
functioning. Tobacco, liquor, drugs, cola drinks, poison preservatives in foods and poison spray on farm produce, in
addition to the incompatible, devitalized foods are some ofthe other poisons that corrode the tissues of the heart as well
as every cell in the body. Arteriosclerosis, which accompanies about half of the heart deaths, is also a disease whichis induced by body poisoning, over-eating of incompatible,
devitalized foods and depleting habits.
TUBERCULOSIS FROM VACCINATION
Lena Long, (Denver) was vaccinated in October, 1922, inorder to attend school. In four days her arm began to festerand she developed a high fever. She was extremely nervous
and confined to her bed for about a week. A little later she
developed pneumonia with symptoms of tuberculosis. The
doctor checked the family records to try to find tuberculosis
in the family or ancestry but none was found. The last reportfrom the mother, Mrs. S. A. Long, was that Lena was still
unable to attend school and was suffering from tuberculosis.
119Mr. Long (Lena’s father) was vaccinated the same year, in
December, after which 12 boils developed on his neck. This
gave him a great deal of trouble. He had never bad a boil
before that time.
SCARLET FEVER FROM VACCINATION
Mrs. Donnelly, (Denver) was successfully vaccinated forsmallpox on December 21, 1922. A few hours after the
injection she began to experience severe reactions whichdeveloped into scarlet fever in such a serious form that she
was rushed to the hospital where she hovered between lifeand death for several weeks.
KIDNEY TROUBLE FROM VACCINATION
Katie Blessant, (Denver) was given toxin-anti-toxin for diphtheria. In a short time she lost her voice and soon after thatshe developed kidney trouble and stomach trouble which
she had never been bothered with before.
BRIGHT’S DISEASE FROM VACCINATION
Earl Rohsbecker, (Denver) was vaccinated for smallpox after
which he developed Bright’s disease (an advanced form ofdegeneration of the kidneys). The doctors do not hold out
much hope for his recovery.
PARALYSIS FROM VACCINATION
Raymond Nelson (Denver) was given diphtheria toxin-anti-toxin after which he developed paralysis. His son wasgiven the antitoxin also, and died of it.
Mrs. Black (Colorado Springs) was vaccinated for smallpox and soon developed spinal meningitis. The case was sosevere that the attending physician had to call in assistancefrom Denver.

120

VACCINE POISONINGDavid, son of Mr. and Mrs. C. Robinson, was vaccinatedon November 6, 1921. By the family physician, in compliance with the school requirement. After three days his
arm festered and was inflamed. Then for several weeks thevaccination seemed to be healing but continued to be soreand inflamed. In February the glands in his neck began toswell and some lumps formed under each arm. Some of thelumps decreased in size but all were painful so the doctor
lanced one of the larger ones. It never did heal properly andbegan to discharge pus a little later. At the time of the lastreport (March, 1921) it had not healed and the child wasstill in bed and unable to walk. It is not likely that he will
be able to attend school for a long time.
A MOTHER’S REPORT(name withheld by request)“I had my daughter vaccinated on the 21st of December,
1921. In less than a week her arm started to swell, become
inflamed, and discharged pus at the site of the vaccination.
A lump developed under the arm and she was seriously ill
for four months. I had her treated for over a year with X-ray
and now her arm is blistered with X-ray burns in addition
to the original ailment.
SMALLPOX FROM VACCINATION
Mrs. Jessie Wuns (Colorado Springs) was vaccinated forsmallpox and a few days later she developed a severe caseof smallpox which lasted seven weeks.
DROPSY FROM VACCINATION
Mrs. Anna Heller (Colorado Springs) developed sores on
her arm, neck and leg after her vaccination. Although many
years have passed, it still bothers her.

121

Her two daughters were also vaccinated and both ofthem developed vaccinia and almost died from it. Her son,almost died from the vaccination itself; then he developed
smallpox 30 days later. It left him with dropsy from which
he has never recovered.
WHO CAN ANSWER THIS?
George Ogden and family reported the following:“We all had smallpox before coming to Colorado Springs
but Dr. Gillett insists on our being vaccinated every year
anyway.”QUESTION: If a case of smallpox cannot immunize
against another attack of smallpox how can a vaccination
be expected to do more than that when the vaccination, at
best, is claimed to produce only a mild form of the disease.
Now, if there is anything at all to the vaccination theory
then a case of smallpox should not only immunize against
smallpox but should, also, protect against the effects ofvaccination and re-vaccination. If it does not do this thenthe vaccination theory disproves itself—it has absolutely nosound reason for being. Since vaccination has proved itself
to be useless and hazardous why does Dr. Gillett (as well asother vaccinating doctors) insist on vaccinating? Is there any
reason except for money, at the cost of human life?
INSANITY FROM VACCINATION
Newsweek for April 25, 1955 says that Mental Illness is rated
by many experts as the biggest health problem of the day.
More than half of the U. S. hospital beds are occupied bymental patients. Their care costs the taxpayers more thana billion dollars a year. Another report states that there are
10,000,000 people in U. S. with mental diseases.
On a troopship returning from the Australian sector
after the war, it was reported that 250 of the 400 men aboard,122

were insane. Some of the excuses the doctors offered for thisshocking development was that it was caused by the heatof the jungles and the rigors of war. However, the citizens
of unvaccinated Australia didn’t go insane in the same heatand the enemy didn’t go insane with the same rigors of war
and in the same climate. It has been hinted that the men werepoisoned almost to death with vaccine serums and drugs.
The normal brain cells are richly supplied with calcium andother alkaline elements When poisons are introduced into
the system the calcium is leeched out of the soft tissues first
and then the bones, in order to neutralize the poisons. This
greatly impairs or destroys the functioning of the brain,
nerves, muscles, and eyes, etc.
S. Vandecarr, D.C., in an article titled, Who is Insane
said:“There is a cry being raised concerning the lack of sufficient institutions to adequately care for the mental cases
needing commitment to them. Lunacy is terribly on theincrease. Particularly do ex-service men and women needsuch care. Many thousands of these men and women werein perfect health when inducted into the armed forces. They
were then given all the “shots” devised by the allopathic
laboratories and used without question by the allopathic
physicians in the medical corps. Histories of hundreds ofcases were “written up” by physicians who followed up theresults of immunization in the service. It showed plainly thatthe inoculations and vaccinations were responsible for thetremendous number of men and women who, soon after
being inoculated, had to be discharged as psycho-neurotics.
Thousands of these are now filling the mental institutions
and few of them will ever again be restored to normal.
“One of the effects of the poisons injected into the blood
to “prevent” (?) disease is that it weakens the nervous system
and gradually breaks down the nerve centers in the brain.

123

The end result of this is insanity...
“Within a day or so after being admitted to the mental
institution, the patient is taken to the room set aside forthe purpose and given three or more “shots.” It matters
not whether they have been recently vaccinated or not,they are again given a smallpox vaccination, then whateverserums they happen to have on hand. Thereafter, each week
the patients are lined up and given more shots. What for?
Who knows? Even those who give them do not apparently
know. In one mental institution I know of, every Thursday
is called “needle day” because on that day all patients are
given at least three injections. They all get the same dose
whether they want it or not. The result is, they lose weightand become sick. Their mental condition becomes worsewith each inoculation and soon they are beyond help. Mildcases become violent and then the attendants maltreat them.
“After seeing the medical practitioners at work it makes
one wonder whether it is the patient or the doctor who isinsane.

124

CHAPTER 8
DEATHS FROM VACCINATION“Knowledge is the antidote of fear,
Knowledge, Use and Reason, with its aids.”—Emerson
Ignorance spiked with greed has put a death machine (vaccination) into the hands of doctors, and ignorance and fear
have driven people into its lethal power. Emerson was rightwhen he said that the right use of reason and knowledge
could free mankind from fear. It is certainly true that a little
knowledge applied in the right places would wake people outof their hypnotic stupor of believing that the popularizedpoison could un-poison them and make them well again.
It is the purpose of this chapter, in particular, as wellas the entire book, to present the actual photographs andcase histories of victims of vaccination, along with enoughauthoritative data to give some concrete reasons for abolishing vaccination. Its deadly effects have been proved andits uselessness has been admitted by the most experienced
authorities in the field.
According to the figures of the Office of Vital Statistics
at Washington, D.C., there were “33 deaths from vaccination in the three years, 1949, 1950, 1951‚ ....
Post-Vaccinal Encephalitis 22; Generalized Vaccinia,
2; other complications, 9.” During this same 3-year period
there were only 4 deaths from smallpox. If vaccination kills
people at the rate of 33 to every 4 protected (?) the risk isgreater than any possible advantage. (It was not stated how
many of the smallpox cases had been vaccinated also.)
In the years 1941 to 1948 there were (In U.S.) 107 deaths
from “sequaelae of preventive immunization, inoculation
or vaccination”. During this time there were only 78 deaths

125

from smallpox.
In the American Journal of Diseases of Children, Dr.
Greenberg discussed the results of the 1947 smallpox scarein New York. Under the heading of Complications of
Vaccination” he admitted that 45 cases of post vaccinal
encephalitis (inflammation of the brain and spinal cord)
had been observed and that 4 deaths had occurred up tothat time. Two of the patients who survived death developed
hemiparesis and one had optic neuritis. Forty-two other
patients had generalized vaccinia of which two died andanother died of ulceration of the vaccination.
So, seven died of this vaccination epidemic while only
one died of smallpox and that case was proved, later, notto be smallpox at all. It was just a case of poison ivy used
to stage a multi-million dollar vaccination drive.
In England the Ministry of Health’s report on The Stateof the Public Health During Six Years of War, under theheading “Post-Vaccinal Encephalitis” stated:“In the six years 60 cases of this complication of vaccinia have been recorded by the Ministry. There were 31
deaths; a figure of 50 percent, may be taken as the fatality
rate of this grave complication.”
During this same period of six years there were only
13 deaths from smallpox in all of England and Wales. The
report did not state how many of these cases of smallpox
were induced by vaccination.
Neville Chamberlain M.P. was forced to admit, in theHouse of Commons, that in the short period of one month(June 1 to June 30) 11 death certificates had been given inwhich the words “vaccination” or “vaccinia” appeared as
the cause of death, and that on six of these certificates someform of nervous disease was entered. . . He also admitted that there were 10 other cases in which death followed
closely after vaccination.

126

An editorial in John Bull (London) continues this discussion as follows:“Almost the next day he (Chamberlain) had to admitthat one child in Norfolk died of post-vaccinal-encephalitis(sleeping sickness) after vaccination and that three othersimilar cases in the same district were suffering from thesame disease following vaccination.
“We do not have to be medical experts to appreciate thegravity of this startling report, which for once in a lifetime
has completely broken through the conspiracy of silencewith which medical men usually surround their operations.
“This is not particularly a question of medicine. It is aquestion of national health survival. It is not sanity to continue to inject poison and disease into healthy children, andwe have no hesitation whatever in asserting that the wholebusiness of vaccination should be suspended forthwith.
“Our opinion is that it would be both cheaper andmore affective to remove vaccination than to waste timeand money in experiments toward removal of the dreadconsequences of vaccination.”
ENCYCLOPEDIA REPORTS
DISEASES CAUSED BY VACCINATIONThe Encyclopedia Britannica (9th edition) records resultsof a canvass of cities after a general vaccination order forschool children. It was found that nearly all the cases ofscarlet fever, measles and diphtheria had been recently vaccinated. Two vaccinated boys developed black diphtheria
and died. What is true of this survey is true of other cities
where vaccination is stressed.
WHAT VACCINATION DOES
A recognized authority summed up this subject by saying:“Vaccination induces an acute and specific disease127

(resembling smallpox) and also aggravates existent latentdiseases. The absorption of the vaccine virus into the circulation excites the virus already in the system, and naturerebels, as it were, and makes an effort to throw the poison
out of the body. When there is sufficient vitality, it will be
successful. But when there is a lack of vitality, or a low stateof health, there is little or no external manifestation in the
shape of blisters, pustules, or eruptions. In this case, thepoison sinks in, or is absorbed, and remains in the body,and later develops into some organic disease, generally of
the respiratory organs.
“Nearly all of those on whom Jenner performed his
earlier experiments, including his own son, died of consumption (a disease of the respiratory organs).
“There are possibly millions, both children and adults,
who are compelled to endure a living death from the effectsof vaccination, in the form of syphilis, scrofula, cancer,
tumors, skin diseases, etc.”
I personally have seen a number of people lingering on
for years in a state of living death as a result of vaccination.
FIVE HUNDRED KILLEDBY VACCINATION IN FIVE MONTHS IN U. S.
In his Vaccination Delusions, Thomas Morgan reports:“During the past five months, we have collected from thenewspapers over five hundred authenticated cases of injury
and death from vaccination. We present a few cases to showhow vaccination protects (?) for it is evident that when vaccination kills the patient, he is forever immune to smallpox,
protected by the immunizing potency of death. These havedied from blood-poisoning, erysipelas, lockjaw, convulsions,etc., after vaccination.” (The names, ages, dates, and locality(town) are given on page 35 of Medical Delusions.)
The New York Sun, March 20, 1895 stated:

128

“John Morrissey, 1979 Third Ave., New York, lost
his two children; both died from convulsions induced by
vaccination. Dr. Sharp, who attended them, thinks that vaccination may have been the cause of the children’s death.
Herald, Northampton, Mass., May 25, 1895:“Webster N. Kinney, 8 year old son of Charles Kinney,of Westfield, was vaccinated and died from the direct
effect of vaccination, which resulted in blood-poisoning.
The occurrence caused quite a stir. Parents see that there isgreater danger from poisoning the human system with vaccine
virus than from smallpox.” (emphasis supplied)
Press Special, Savannah, Georgia, Feb. 3, 1898:“Wm. M. Lee, member of the St. Louis School Board,died from vaccination.
Alma Olivia Piehn, daughter of L. H. Piehn, presidentof the Anti-Vaccination Society of America, died May 13,
1894, killed by compulsory vaccination. Albert F. Turnerdied from blood-poisoning, as the result of vaccination.”
The Boston Herald gives names and addresses of 47 soldiers killed by vaccination in just one month of army life,
from the official reports from Camp Merrit, San Francisco,Camp Muintauk and troops stationed at Manila for themonth of January, 1899. These soldiers had the usual courseof vaccine serums for the prevention of smallpox, diphtheria, typhoid, etc.
The diseases they died from within 30 days of the vaccinations were, smallpox, diphtheria, typhoid, lockjaw, blacksmallpox, blood-poisoning, and cirrhosis of the liver.
General Leonard Wood told the Senate Committee on
Military Affairs that “half his present forces were not fit foreffective service.” (After vaccination.)In the Cuban army 60 per cent of the men were frequently disabled, because of diseases other than battle
wounds.

129

SOLDIERS DISABLED AND KILLEDBY VACCINATION
In a published article in LIFE magazine, April 17, 1950,
General Eisenhower, in discussing the poor conditioningof our fighting forces, said:
I remember one time in Africa when we had only four
divisions in the field, and I was desperate for men, I found
we had 6,000 men in hospitals in Africa unavailable for combat—and not one of them had suffered a wound.”All these men were in prime condition when they went towar. Forty-seven per cent of our young men were unfit forservice and were rejected. This was an “all time high” recordof unfitness, indicating the decadent trend of our nation’s
health. But the most perfect men were inducted and sent to
the Army camps to be shot full of vaccine poisons and otherdrugs. After this drastic course of malpractice thousandsof boys were invalided home as physical and mental wrecks
before they even left American soil. Others were sent to thebattlefield where they collapsed and had to be hospitalized.
During the Second World War I heard that seven men
had dropped dead on the floor of the vaccinator’s office at
Birmingham after being vaccinated. I wrote to the government for verification and learned from the printed official
government statement that in just the first six months of
the war, there were not just seven vaccination deaths, butthere were 62 deaths from yellow fever vaccine alone. The
men received from 14 to 24 vaccinations of all varieties
but the full report of all vaccination deaths was not given.
The casualties were probably tabulated under other causes.
The report of the US Secretary of War, Henry L. Simpson
regarding the deaths from yellow fever “shots” reads in part:“Recent army experience with yellow fever vaccine
resulted in 28,505 cases of hepatitis (disease of the liver)with 62 deaths, as of July 24, 1942.”

130

The British Army finally abandoned compulsory vaccination when the numerous law suits for deaths and damages
made it mandatory.
On February 5, 1954, Mr. Birch, Parliamentary Secretary
to the Ministry of Defense, assured Mr. Charles R. Hobson,
M. P. that the British troops retain their right to refuse vaccination and all inoculations, even when fighting under United
Nations Command.
England was the country that introduced compulsory
vaccination and being a proud and somewhat self-righteous
nation, she did everything possible to make vaccination
work so she would not have to admit her guilt in this respect.
But with all the subterfuge, artful persuasion and coercion,vaccination was at last admitted to be a failure and a calamity. Since the vaccination law was repealed the health ofthat country has been steadily improving. In view of these
unrefutable facts, it is not compatible with our standardsof justice and democratic ideals for our U. S. government
to lend itself to the uses of the medical and drug trusts intheir money-making vaccination schemes.
Dr. Herbert Snow, for 25 years staff surgeon of the
London Cancer Hospital stated:“Of recent years, many men and women in prime oflife, have dropped dead suddenly. I am convinced that some
80 per cent of these deaths are caused by the inoculations
or vaccinations they have earlier undergone. These are wellknown to cause grave and permanent disease of the heart.
“The coroner always hushes it up as ‘natural causes’. I
have been trying to get these cases referred to an Independent
Commission of inquiry, but so far, in vain.”
So far the investigations have been thwarted by committees staffed or influenced by medical men who were there topromote their own interests. Is our nation to continue on the
decline until it passes into oblivion like some of the earlier

131

nations that invited corruption for private gain. If we want
to reverse the present trend we may have to take drastic
action to dislodge the decadent medical system from public
domination and outlaw the use and sale of poison drugs thatare at present parading under the name of healing agents.
PHOTOGRAPHS OF VICTIMSOF VACCINATION
These are just a few of the hundreds of cases of blindness,paralysis, cancer, ulcers and other diseases of vaccinationthat resulted in death. Most of these photographs were collected by Anti-Vaccination League of England and America
and published in Vaccination at Work and other books on
the subject of vaccination.

Mona Stevenson
Mona Stevenson of Humphrey St. Burnley, England,
was vaccinated at the age of five weeks by Dr. J. W. Clegg,
with the official glycerinated calf-lymph, after five weeks132of suffering in which the child’s face and arm was partly
eaten away by the vaccine disease, the child died. The same
doctor certified the cause of death as “generalized vaccinia,
36 days, and exhaustion.”
LOCKJAW CAUSED BY VACCINATION
Willie Hood, six year old son of J.G. Hood, 4150 Lafayette
Ave., St. Louis, Mo. died of lockjaw following vaccination
on Oct. 14, 1917. (Details given in the Vaccination Inquirer,
Nov. 1, 1917)

Willie HoodCharles Higgens, of New York, shows photographsof five other fatal cases of post-vaccinal lock-jaw in his
well documented book The Horrors of Vaccination. (Pub.
1920) Records of 30 other fatal cases of this disease in New
York, were published by Mr. James A. Loyster, of New
York, whose son died of infantile paralysis (cerebral) as aresult of vaccination. (The account of this case is given on133

page 33 of Vaccination at Work, published by the National
Anti-Vaccination-League.
LOATHSOME DISEASE
GENERATED BY VACCINATION

Ethel Mary Thompson
Ethel Mary Thompson, age seven months, (from Skene
Row, Aberdeen) was a beautiful, healthy infant until vaccinated. Soon after this operation ulcers began to develop thatnever healed. Six weeks later when the doctor was called, heobserved that “there was a great punched-out” hole rightthrough the arm near the vaccination and another gaping
wound in the arm pit. The flesh in this area had decayed
until the ribs were exposed. On the abdomen was a large
brown patch of decaying flesh and the knee was swollen
out of proportion to its normal size. Festering sores were
forming on the toes. After two months of untold suffering
the child died.

134

VACCINAL-SYPHILIS

Ernest Cheeseman

135

Ernest Cheeseman of Rose Cottages, Wescott, Dorking,England was vaccinated at the age of nine weeks with thestandard glycerinated calf-lymph supplied by the local
Government Board on Nov. 3rd. Up to that time he washealthy and normal and his parents were in good health.
Five days after his vaccination a serious form of syphilitic
skin disease developed and death relieved him of his suffering on Nov. 30th. The body was covered with eczema-like
eruptions and the feet were drawn up, all out of shape.
The sores that broke out around the mouth looked likeburnt meat and stood out at least half an inch.” (From
Vaccination at Work)When syphilis results from vaccination, it is the usual
claim of the doctors, that the mother must surely havesyphilis and certainly communicated it to the child. In
Wales when 4,000 infants were found to be syphilitic after
their vaccinations, all the parents were examined by thedoctors in an effort to lay the blame on them, but the parents were found to be free from syphilis.
In the case of the Cheeseman baby, the same cowardly
accusations were made against the mother, by the doctors.
She willingly underwent a medical examination and it was
found that she was normal and healthy, with no syphilitic
taint. The examiner stated:“I do not think there is any reason whatever to suspectthat she has ever suffered from syphilis. I find no indicationof such disease.”
Some of the doctors at the inquest persisted in their
morbid character defamation charges against the motherand refused to believe the medical report that gave her aclean bill of health. On the strength of their own opinions
they insisted that she was syphilitic and would not be able
to give birth to another normal baby.
To prove that the accusations of the doctors were136

unjustified she had the following photograph taken after
the birth of her next child, Frederick John, who was 10
weeks old at the time his was taken. It is apparent that thechild is well and healthy—and unvaccinated. The fathers(in England) who refused to have their children serve
prison terms under compulsory vaccination but many ofthem accepted this punishment in order to save their children from the deadly effects of vaccination.
Rita and Eberhard Kandlbinder, died on June, 1951,
as a result of vaccination.

Rita and Eberhard Kandlbinder
The Munchner Illustrierte, June 28, 1951, reported the“mysterious death of six infants after smallpox vaccinations.” After the photographs and story of these deaths
occurred many other parents came forth with similar stories, although the doctors had named some other cause
for the deaths. Most of the vaccination deaths are unknown

137

because they are unreported as such (see the chapter on
Falsified Death Certificates, Book II).
BLINDNESSFROM VACCINATION“Horace Capewell of 5 Court St., Southbridge, England,
was a fine healthy baby with beautiful eyes. He was vaccinated when five weeks old. Nine days later his bodywas a mass of sores. His eyes became affected and at theage of five months he was totally blind. Many doctors at
Birmingham had the case under treatment but nothing
could restore his sight. This photo was taken many years
later at the age of 20 years.

Horace Capewell
There is no doctor or test that can predict whether or not
vaccination will bring death, disability or the potentialities
of future disease. Is the risk worth the dubious promise of
immunity?

INFLAMMATION OF THE BRAINFROM VACCINATION

Portia and Peter Furness
These beautiful, healthy twins, Peter and Portia Furness,aged 4½ years died two weeks after being vaccinated withcertified government vaccine. The deaths took place May,

139

1931 at South Wigston, near Leicester, England. This is
one of the few cases in which the doctors admitted the realcause of death on the death certificate as being post-vaccinal
encephalitis.
VACCINATION TRAGEDY

Margaret Ann Gooding
Margaret Ann, the only daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Donald
W. Gooding, of Wolsey, Essex, England, was pronounced aperfect baby by the doctor when she was born. This beautiful and healthy infant was vaccinated at the age of 4 months.
The first two injections didn’t take so a third vaccination
was given, after which inflammation of the brain developed within 5 days. She was taken to the hospital where
she remained for many weeks. At the age of 13 months she
was blind and could not learn to walk. She also developed
digestive disturbances and convulsions.
This tragic case was brought to the attention of the140House of Commons in the hope that an investigation would
be made of the hazards of vaccination and others would be
warned of the danger. Mr. Bevan was shown the possibilityof other similar results if the same practice was continued
and he was asked if he would make the result of his inquiry
fully available to the House of Commons and the public.
If he ever made an honest investigation it would resultin an unqualified condemnation of vaccination. This he did
not do so far as I have been able to find out.
BLINDNESS FROM VACCINATIONThis child was a healthy, normal child at birth. When she
was a year and a half old she was vaccinated, after which hereyes began to exude matter and within a week they closed
and she has been blind ever since. Dr. Blasson, Dr. Kynaston
and the famous specialist, Dr. Bell Taylor, all examinedthe child and acknowledged that the blindness was due tovaccination.

141

Because the father defied the vaccination law and refused
to have his other child vaccinated he was to be prosecuted.
He carried his blind child into the court room and showed
her eyes and her arm which was enlarged, deformed andsore from the shoulder to the finger tips. The evidence andthe public sentiment against the vaccination law influenced
the magistrates to exempt the father from having his otherchild vaccinated.
INFANTILE PARALYSIS FROM VACCINATIONJohn James MacDonald
John James MacDonald was well and normal when vaccinated. After a time his vaccinated arm withered and drewup until it was useless. Then his right leg became emaciatedand so drawn up that he could no longer walk. The vaccination refused to heal and in addition to that, a festering
sore developed on his foot.

142

WRITER PARALYZED BY VACCINATION

Job West
Job West of Bradford-On-Avon was vaccinated as a boy andpartially paralyzed soon after the injection. For many years
he lost the power of voluntary movement of the lower limbs.
In spite of his handicap and suffering he became a renowned“student and authority on the vaccination question, and amost prolific writer on the subject.”
SLOW DEATH
THROUGH VACCINATIONElse Thuroff was born March 3, 1920 and vaccinated June8, 1921. In August of the same year she began sufferingfrom “violent grinding pains, and swelling and distortionof the bones of her arm up to her shoulder. The medical
diagnosis was tuberculosis of the bones. She under‑
went an operation after which the condition grew steadily
worse until her arm drew up and became helpless.

143

Else Thuroff
The skin of the face burned away. The vaccination marks
suppurated and the body wasted away to a living skeleton.
“After suffering excruciating pain she died on the 8th ofJanuary, 1923.”
DOCTORS WARNEDNOT TO VACCINATE ECZEMA CASESThis six year old boy died of generalized vaccinia. He had
been subject to eczema since the age of six weeks. Since

144eczema is a condition of extreme toxemia (acidosis or internal poisoning) the poison from the vaccine serum intensified
the body poisoning and he died September 1949.
In March 1953, Dr. George Taylor of Bradford vaccinated his five-months’ old daughter who was suffering froma mild case of eczema and the baby died nine days later ofgeneralized vaccinia and eczema. The doctors are beginningto see the seriousness of poisoning the already poisoned sickwith more poison in the form of vaccine serums.
USELESS ARM
FROM VACCINE POISONING

William Hamilton
William Hamilton was vaccinated at three months of age.
The poison spread and the sores never healed. The case wasattended by six doctors but they gave it up as a hopelesscase. His arm has been useless since the vaccination in
infancy, The photo was taken when he was 15 years of age.
VACCINATION CAUSES MISCARRIAGE
A careful check showed that “47 per cent of women who had
been vaccinated in the second or third month of pregnancy,145

failed to give birth to a normal child.” (p. 47, Vaccination at
Work)
The Consulting Pediatrician of Lanarkshire County
Council in an article in The Lancet (London) December 6,1952 reported one of the typical cases of this survey. Thiswoman was about three months pregnant when she wasvaccinated for smallpox. The report states: “She developed
a severe primary reaction and three months later she wasspontaneously delivered of a feeble hydropic premature infant
covered with a very severe generalized vaccinia. The child died18 hours after birth.”
Many of the new strange diseases of modern times can betraced to vaccination or medication of the child or the mother.
VACCINATION DEATHSNOT REPORTED
Because some of the photographs of cases shown in thepreceding pages have been collected from other countries
as well as United States and some of the deaths occurreda number of years ago, some may wonder if vaccination
deaths are so rare that these must be used. Although photographs are not often made of vaccination victims there are,nevertheless, an unbelievable number of such cases that arehushed up and the death certificate often gives some othercause. The medically staffed health departments rarely makeinquiry regarding these cases and, unfortunately, there arevery few courageous and public spirited people or organizations who are willing to spend the time and money to makesuch an investigation. However, just to show how much canbe uncovered with a little effort I am presenting a partial
list of the vaccination deaths that were traced down by justone man, V. E. Rowton, in just one year, 1921, in just one
medium-sized city, Denver, Colorado. A local “Optional
Vaccination League” helped to find other cases. Most of146

these tragedies were reported by members of the families
or other eye-witnesses to the crimes.
VACCINATION DEATHS
IN COLORADO(From the files of Mr. V. E. Rowton)“My wife, Ethel Andrews, was in good health until she wasvaccinated by Dr.—— , about November 1, 1922. The vaccination started “to take” in three days—began to fester
and the arm was swollen. About the 9th of November, she
broke out with a pronounced skin rash all over her body.
On November 29, she became seriously ill. Sores appearedin place of the rash and the doctor said it was smallpox. On
December 5th, she died.”“My daughter, Ruth Yvonne, six years old, was in perfect
health until Saturday, December 3, 1921, when we wereadvised by our family physician, Dr. C. F. Henger, to haveher vaccinated, which we did. . . About the third day her
arm began to hurt but she continued to attend school until
Friday. On Saturday she complained of a sore throat. She
became sick at her stomach and vomited. Her condition
grew worse. The doctors could do nothing to save her andshe died on Tuesday about 5:15 (1921).”Mrs. H. P. Kingsley, of the Ellsworth Hotel, Denver, gave thefollowing statement about her son John: “He was in perfect
health when I took him to school on Monday. He was told
he must be vaccinated before he could enter school so I had
him vaccinated on the following Monday. His knee started
hurting soon after the vaccination but he went to school thenext morning. That was the last day he was ever to go toschool again. The pain went to every joint in his body andhe suffered intensely for three weeks; then he passed away.”147

This data about the death of Mrs. Alta Vincent, 18 years ofage, was given by her husband, Luther Vincent, (Denver.)“About November 13, 1922, my wife submitted to vaccination in order to hold her position with the telephonecompany. Up to the time of the vaccination she was in good
health. On December 8th, she became quite ill with enlarged
lymphatic glands under her arms. On the 10th she died.”“My wife was vaccinated by Dr. A. W. Calhoun of Denver,
on October 27, 1922. At the time of the vaccination she was
not in very good health. She died a few hours after the vaccination in our home. The doctor pronounced it heart failure.”(This report was given by her husband, Mr. Padgett)
Walter Call was vaccinated about November 20, 1922. He
was able to work for a week after being vaccinated although
he was ill during the time. He died on December 8, 1922
with black smallpox.
Lafayette Hunt of Denver, Colorado, was vaccinatedNovember 6, 1922. He developed smallpox on November
18th and died of it November 28, 1922.
Hulda Berg of Denver was vaccinated for smallpox someyears ago. On October 27, 1922, she became ill with a severe
headache and a rash. Dr. Kesley thought it was measles.
The health officer was called the following Sunday. He pronounced it smallpox and she was taken to the hospital where
she died soon after.
Ada McDaniels (Denver) was vaccinated twice shortly before
she was stricken with smallpox. She died on November 25,
1922.

148

Mr. Louis Pleines (Denver) was vaccinated when a boy andagain six weeks before he came down with smallpox, He
died of smallpox on February 5, 1923.
Mrs. E. P. Haddon (Denver) was in good health until
Sunday, November 12, 1922, when she was vaccinated byher family physician, and nearly collapsed at the time. The
next day, Monday, she was ill. She was worse on Tuesday
so the doctor turned the case over to the health officer. She
was quarantined for smallpox on Wednesday and died thefollowing Monday, November 20th.
The street addresses of these cases are on file but have been
omitted for obvious reasons.
Mr. and Mrs. Alvord of South Cascade, had a healthy,
robust child. It was vaccinated by Dr. Peters. About 9 days
later it began to have convulsions. The doctor was called
and treated it. He said he was especially interested because
it was a vaccinated case. The convulsions occurred after
the doctor left and he was called again but the child died
before he arrived. After a post-mortem by Doctors Peters
and Gillett, the cause of death was reported as colitis. No
mention was made of the recent vaccination.
Miss Hamilton, a school teacher, became seriously ill two
weeks after her vaccination. Smallpox pustules broke out overher back in the region of the kidneys. She died soon after.
The doctor reported the cause to be acute dilation of theheart. (This condition does not happen without a cause. The
blood-poisoning effect of the vaccination wasn’t mentioned.)
Another school teacher of Colorado Springs (name withheld) submitted to vaccination in March in order to hold149

her position. She was never well after that and died on
November 17, 1922.
Mr. Charles Kiner, of Colorado Springs, gave the following
report: “In the fall of 1922 we started our only child, a little
girl, to school. She was in excellent health at the time but
after she had attended two months we were told that she
must be vaccinated or leave school. We were opposed to it
but had to submit. Soon after she was vaccinated she brokeout with sores and was not able to attend school again for
six weeks. She started again but was too sick to continue.
We called our family physician, Dr. Gillett, and he said she
had erysipelas. She passed away about 9 days later.”Mrs. Caldwell (Colorado Springs) was vaccinated and nearlylost her arm as a result of the long-continued inflammation.
Eight months later she had smallpox in spite of the vaccination. (Or because of it)“Our baby was vaccinated in the fall of 1921. Four days
after the vaccination the arm became very sore and swollen;
inflammation spread over the shoulder and up the neck tothe back of her ear. It continued to get worse and on thesixth day the doctor said it was mastoiditis. The next day thebaby went into convulsions and died on the 9th day after
the vaccination.” Reported by the mother—name withheld(Colorado Springs.)
Mrs. Ellen Cook (Denver) was vaccinated at the City Hallon November 15, 1922. “In five days”, she reported, “I wasvery sick and couldn’t even lift my head for several days
without vomiting. My arm was badly swollen and full of
painful lumps from my shoulder to my elbow and was purple with congestion. It felt like there was a cord drawn from150

my breast to my arm which gave me intense pain. I was quite
helpless for three weeks then it broke out in sores at threedifferent times. A year and three months has passed and it
is not well yet.” (February 28, 1923)
As a result of the findings of this privately conductedsurvey of vaccination disasters, Mr. Rowton and his groupfeel they found enough evidence to prove that there is nobenefit whatsoever, but considerable danger in the popular
but damaging practices listed below:
SHOTS THAT CAN BE DEADLY
1. Schick Test
2. Dick Test
3. Tuberculin Test
4. Wasserman Test

CHAPTER 9
MEDICAL INTERFERENCE“Medical science is a form of delusional madness
from which few medical men ever recover. Backed bycommercialism, this madness runs roughshod over the lifeand health of the people.”—Herbert M. Shelton, Ph.D.,
D.C., N.D.
In the Dark Ages when a decadent church dominated thestate and religious persecution became intolerable, the people rebelled and demanded separation of church and state.
In countries where this popular request was not granted,
those who wanted religious freedom fled to other countries where more liberty and justice were possible. The newly
discovered America became a refuge for those who sought
freedom from tyranny and subjection. The constitution,that the Founding Fathers drew up was originally intended
to protect the people from encroachments on civil liberties
and human rights, whether it be from the self-appointed
dictators of powerful financial interests, or from political,
religious or economic pressures.
Dr. Benjamin Rush and Dr. Josiah Bartlett (both congressmen and signers of the Declaration of Independence)
foresaw the medical tyranny that was, even then, laying its
groundwork for domination of the healing field. In an effort
to block this threatening menace they tried to introduce legislative measures that would insure freedom from medical
tyranny as well as the other freedoms necessary to democracy.
Their efforts were thwarted, however, by the preponderanceof orthodox medical men in congress at that time, whose
personal interest stood in the way of public good. Some ofthese men even refused to sign the Declaration.

152

An excerpt from one of the valiant speeches of Dr. Rushis as follows:“The Constitution of the Republic should make provision for medical freedom as well as for religious freedom.
To restrict the art of healing to one class of men (such as
medical doctors) and deny equal privileges to others (alsotrained in healing) will constitute the Bastile of medical science. All such laws are un-American and despotic. They arefragments of monarchy and have no place in a Republic.”
The failure of congress to establish freedom from medical domination has cost the nation countless billions ofdollars and needless loss of life and health of our citizens.
The medical dictatorship has extended its tentacles, sincethat time, until it now has control over a much wider area
than the church ever did. Not only is our Public HealthService completely manned by the narrow and limited abilityof this one branch of business, but it also wields its dictatorial power over the schools, colleges, charities, churches,
public libraries, press, radio, women’s clubs, P.T.A., life
insurance companies and many industries and businesses,
even the Civil Service, which of all things, should respect
the Constitution in its law against trusts.
A PLANNED MEDICAL CONSPIRACYThis medical strangle hold did not just happen with thepassing of time; it was a planned conspiracy against theAmerican people, with an “eye” to the financial gains of
the doctors. A sample of this strategy may be seen in thefollowing speech of Dr. W. A. Evans, one of the top medical“bosses,” and Health Commissioner for the city of Chicago,
who gave these instructions to the doctors in their annual
convention of the American Medical Association in 1911:“The thing for the medical profession to do, is to getright into, and man every important health movement; man153

health departments, tuberculosis societies, housing societies,
child care and infant societies, etc. The future of the profession depends on it. . . The profession cannot afford to havethese places occupied by other than medical men.”
This pronouncement was published in the Journal of
the American Medical Association, September 16, 1911. Just
how whole-heartedly this decree was carried out is clearlyshown by how completely all the non-medical schools of
healing such as chiropractic, naturopathic, religious science,
hygienics, etc., have been excluded from such tax supported
institutions as health boards, public hospitals, army camps,
state prisons, workman’s compensation bureaus, asylums, etc.
Annie Riley Hale, in her Medical Voodoo has this to sayof the Dr. Evans resolutions:That ‘the future of his profession depended’ on getting
the whip-hand in Public Health Service, and that ‘the profession could not afford’ to forego the political advantage
accruing from such monopoly will be interpreted by someas a virtual confession on the part of regular medicine thatit either realized it had nothing of therapeutic value to offer
the sick world, or that it had despaired of winning the sickpatronage by fair means, and must therefore have recourse
to political intrigue.
“However it may be interpreted, here we have recorded
evidence of a deliberate plan by organized official medicine,
openly declared in convention assembled, to monopolize agreat public agency like the Public Health Service —affecting
all the people and paid for by all the people—to the utter
exclusion of other healing professions legalized under existing laws.
The effect of the adoption and vigorous prosecutionof the Evans resolution has been to (1) enhance the political power of organized medicine under the official nameof A.M.A., and (2) to enable the medical trust to hamper,

154

harass, and where possible, suppress their therapeutic rivals—
in order to destroy competition .... Destroying competitionand crushing smaller businesses for monetary gain is precisely
what the Sherman Anti-trust Law was designed to prevent.
Thus, the A.M.A. in carrying out the Evans program hastaken on all the offensive features and oppressive overlordismof a swollen commercial ‘trust’.”There may be some independent medical practitioners
who do not belong to or support the American Medical
Association and these would not be held accountable for thedamage done by the “outlaw” practices of the “association.”
CONTRACTS
TO DEFRAUD THE PUBLIC
In The Medical Trust Unmasked, the author [John Spivak]
tells of agreements and contracts between the medical societies and the insurance companies that are designed to defend
the doctors against law suits brought against them for malpractice in which they kill or maim their patients. He tells that
there are (or were when he wrote the book in 1935, perhaps
more now) 70,000 doctors in 32 states who have knowingly
entered into these agreements which are nothing short ofdeadly conspiracy against the life and welfare of the people.
On page 64 he states:“Twenty-eight of these thirty-two states grant this defense
as part of the regular benefits derived from being a memberof the American Medical Association. Membership alone issufficient to insure the physician that he will be defended by
the whole closely banded fraternity, should he ever be sued
for malpractice.”
A statement of peculiar significance is included in thefollowing paragraph:“Twenty-four of these medical societies furnish expert
witnesses to testify on behalf of the accused (the doctor).

155

Eighteen of these societies pay all expenses incurred by such
witnesses, as well as special remuneration for testifying favorably, some of it running as high as $50.00 a day.”
These “expert witnesses” may live 1,000 miles from thescene of the crime and know nothing about it except what
they are paid to say. Is this any different from the methodsof the professed criminals of the underworld?
The patients or survivors of a medical crime are given afull course of intimidation and threats by the doctors in order
to discourage them from suing and most of them withdraw
when they see the hopelessness of winning against the “fix”.
In a confidential report submitted by the Board ofTrustees of the American Medical Association to its electoral body at its Dallas convention in 1926, the doctors wereassured that the A.M.A. was seeking means of preventing
malpractice suits The report reads:“It cannot be too strongly insisted that the prevention ofclaims is the object sought, and not merely the adjustmentof such claims as arise, nor the indemnification of physicians
against loss”
No provision for the welfare of the patient was made andno consideration for his rights was deemed of any importance.
REGARDING
THE MEDICAL MONOPOLYThe Yale Law Journal, May, 1954 says:“As a consequence of its monopoly position, financial
resources, and political strength, organized medicine isable to maintain a quasi-legal status in medical societies
to appoint or recommend members of regulatory bodies. A.M.A. standards in medical education, training, andpractice are usually adopted by law. In addition, A.M.A.
inspection to determine whether its own standards havebeen satisfied is seldom subject to judicial review. Thus the156political authority of the state itself has in effect been delegated to organized medicine.”
HOW THE HIGH PRESSURE MEDICALLOBBYING INFLUENCES LEGISLATION
From the New York Times, June 15, 1952, we read:“Some rather expert observations of the art of lobbying
as practiced in Washington assert that the A.M.A. is the only
organization in the country that could marshal 140 votes
in Congress between sundown Friday night and noon on
Monday. Performances of this sort have led some to describe
the A.M.A. lobby as the most powerful in the country.”“In 1954 sixteen individuals and groups reported toCongress that they spend more than $50,000 each on theirlegislative interests. The biggest one of these groups admitted it had spent $547,000 on this matter of influencing
legislation through their powerful lobbying groups.”—From
World Predictions, 1955.
The Tarnished Record of the American Medical
Association published by the Milwaukee Federated Trades
Council states:“The A.M.A. at its 1949 convention voted to make the$25.00 assessment permanent. It further urged its members
to engage in political action to defeat congressmen whom
it could not control ....
“In the 26th Pennsylvania district, a group of doctors
calling themselves the Healing Arts Committees mailed out
more than 190,000 letters, made more than 120,000 personal
telephone calls, placed a series of 12 advertisements in every
newspaper and purchased radio time to urge the defeat of
the local congressman who had supported a measure notfavorable to them.”
An excerpt from the speech of a congressman andrecorded in the Congressional Record says that the A.M.A.

157

had “a record of almost unparalleled opposition to socialand economic progress, blindness to need, and resistanceto reform.”
Many laws designed by and for the benefit of theA.M.A. have been “pressured through” without the voteor the approval or even the knowledge of people involved.
Just recently a high pressure opportunist group tried
to force a measure through Congress whereby their competitors could be barred from the mails without notice andwithout a jury trial (it was defeated). That is even worse thanthe present law which allows the medical trust to bar theircompetitors from the mails on false charges and without ajury trial. But the victim is allowed a few days notice. Thisis an unfair law and should be adjusted.
The Defender Magazine, Wichita, Kansas (May 1955)
under the heading Health Dictatorship, comments: “Weare getting a ‘look-see’ as to how the American Medical
Association pulls strings and controls policies of the government in-so-far as the Pure Food and Drug law is concerned.”
Former Intelligence Officer of the United States
Government, Major Robert H. Williams, in his Bulletin(April 27, 1955) states:“Sane people are being arrested and held for mental
observation without a trial, a thing I would hardly havebelieved had I not seen it happen. Bills are appearing in thestate legislatures designed to empower the state to seize any
citizen and legally hold him for observation or for compulsory treatment ....”
This is one of the Gestapo methods of eliminating honest competition. When these sane people are forced into themental institutions they are given frequent injections withthe “poisoned needle” and are soon rendered incapable ofrational thinking or coherent speech. At this stage they arebrought before the “Board” for questioning and, of course,

158

declared to be insane and therefore confined permanently tothe institution. A bullet in the back would be less cowardly
than this.
WHO HAS THE MONOPOLYON WORDS?
The word doctor comes from the Greek term di-daktor,
which means “one who imparts knowledge to others—ateacher.” The Latins condensed it to “doc-to-ro” and it waslater shortened to doctor. Medical doctors are not teachers. In fact part of their instructions at medical school is
not to tell the patient much. They are not, as a rule, very
well informed on the real cause and cure of disease so they
could not teach it if they wanted to. A dictionary gives one
definition of doctor as “a learned person.” If either of thesedefinitions were the criterion for issuing medical degrees it
would eliminate about 99 per cent of the practitioners fromthe title of doctor. Yet, they have sought a monopoly on thisword in-so-far as the healing field is concerned.
The word cure has also been taken over by the medical
trust as its private property and drugless doctors and writers
have been barred from the mails and persecuted in otherways for teaching how nature cures or for using or speaking
of a cure for some disease.
The latest encroachment on public rights is the medical monopoly on the word health. In some states they havemade it a law that no drugless practitioner may use the word
health on his advertising, signs or titles. The Naturopath
Magazine, January 1955 (published for Naturopathic doctors) reported this situation in the editorial, by Dr. T W.
Schippell. Excerpts from this editorial are as follows:“... Every day we see additional liberties of the
independent practitioner trampled under foot—more
non-conformist healers jailed or driven from the country.

159

“There has just come to hand a letter from an independent practitioner who has long been the head of a liberalschool of healing in Chicago where he conducts a healthregaining emporium. He is finding out the hard way, thatany outstanding success in the natural healing field brings
with it, as a definite reaction, the unbridled wrath of medical
men everywhere ....
“The established rule of medical fair play in this country
seems to be: If you cannot beat a rival practitioner on themarket place, you must unseat him through some ordinanceor statute in the legislative halls. And that is what has happened in Chicago. Excerpts from the letter will show thesequence of events as they happened:“‘Some months ago I was called into the State
Department of Education and Registration and was warned
by that august body that I could no longer use the word
Naturopath on my letterheads, doors or windows.
“‘I was informed further that I must substitute the word
Chiropractor in the place of Naturopath as well as use it
in my advertising. So returning to my Health Emporium, I
took a razor blade and the word Naturopath disappeared
from my signs on my doors and windows. My hope that I
had met every medical requirement was quickly blasted. Just
last week I received another communication from that same
State Department of Education and Registration and uponcalling at that office, was immediately pushed into the sanctum of its attorney. This gentleman opened the interview
with a scowl and this remark: ‘It looks like we are having alittle trouble getting you into line, doctor.’‘To which I required: ‘What have I done wrong, now?’.
“‘His beetle-like brows closed together; he clasped hishands before him on the desk and continued to scowl atme: ‘Get that word health off your doors, windows, letterheads—and do it quick.’160

“To which remark I replied: My business has long been
known as a Health Emporium. I built my reputation on thatdesignation and have spent many thousands of dollars tobring it to the attention of the public. I can hardly remove
the word health without ruining my business.’“‘His reply was short and to the point: ‘The word healthbelongs exclusively to the medical doctors. It is illegal foranyone else to use it in any manner. There is a law now in
effect which gives the medical profession a monopoly on theword health and you’d better get that in your head clearlyright now!’”
This doctor consulted his attorney and found that sucha law had been engineered through the state legislatureby same underhanded methods they (the medical trust)
had pushed other death-dealing measures into operation,such as (1) vaccination, which is known to kill more people every year than smallpox does, (2) tuberculin testing ofcows which required the killing of 1,500,000 healthy cows
because of false testing in just 10 years time, with a lost of$1,500,000,000 to the dairymen, (3) rabies shots for dogs,
which increase diseases in the animals but do not prevent
rabies, (4) fluorine (rat poison) in public water supplies
because there is a cheap surplus of the product on hand
and the owners want to make profit on it, also other practices that are damaging to the public but profitable to thepromoters.
MORE FREEDOM DENIED
Back in the middle ages, Galileo was tormented, tortured,and threatened with death because he taught that the world
was round. We like to relegate to the past such acts of ignorance and barbarism, and believe that such outrages against
progress could not happen in our day and age. But we arehaving parallels of this same kind of intolerance in the161healing field. For instance, Dr. Herbert M. Shelton, Ph.D.,
D.C., N.D., and head of the Hygienic Movement, wasimprisoned several times in New York because he helped
people overcome their diseases by observing the laws ofhealth. Saving lives and restoring health is considered acrime in New York and several other states that are ruledby the medical trust, if these works are done by any outside
the medical ring. The medical field has no sure cure for any
disease, so the people are obliged to suffer and die rather
than permit someone who does understand the law of cure
to aid them. Dr. Shelton is one of the few practitioners who
understands the cause and cure of disease, and seeing that
New York is a city of sick people in need of help that they
were not getting, he defied the un-American medically madelaw of New York which prohibits drugless doctors frompracticing, opened up an office and was soon gaining fameby his superior results in healing. For this he was imprisoned
without even a trial by jury. In accordance with the formalities of pretended justice, an investigator of the Court ofSpecial Sessions in New York, wrote to the Investigator of
the State Medical Board in Texas for information about Dr.
Shelton. The investigator interviewed Dr. Shelton and after
seeing the nature and quality of his work with its consistenteffectiveness, had said to him, “I see nothing in your workthat is a violation of the law. Stick to it and I will neverbother you.” He sent a fine report to the New York investigator which was never read before the court. The judge
declared him guilty on the opinion of the medical witness
and he was sentenced to prison. When he was released, hecontinued to help the sick and needy and was imprisoned
again and again because he refused to respect a law thatwas enforced against public good and established without
the approval or vote of the people. This did not happen in
the Dark Ages; it happened in our day, just a few years ago.

162

A little later, in 1948, Dr. Gian-Cursio, Chiropractorand Hygienist, was sentenced to prison when his druglesshealing system and sanitarium, The Castle of Health, wasbecoming noted for its successful healing of diseases thatthe doctors had not been able to cure. He was framed andsentenced to a year in prison without being allowed a trial by
jury. (Even a murderer is permitted a jury trial). He was evendenied an appeal. The charges were that he was harming
people although no evidence was brought forth to prove thisstatement. A great many of his healed patients were anxious
to testify but they were not permitted to do so. As he was adrugless doctor he did not use drugs or any of the dangerous
methods such as X-ray, radium, surgery, or anything elsethat could harm a patient. His testimony was disregarded
and only that of the medical “expert witness” (?) was considered valid. So this innocent man of high ideals and clean
living had to serve a prison term with hardened criminals
while his family was left without support. So openly unjust
was this case that letters and telegrams from all parts of
United States and even from England, France and Canada
poured into the offices of the judge and Governor Deweyof New York, asking that this man he given a fair trial by
jury, or an appeal to a higher court, but this was denied.
From his prison cell Dr. Gian-Cursio wrote: (To Dr.
Shelton)“It is a strange schooling that our enemies have forced
upon us. It profits us in ways nor expected by them. Prior to,during and after incarceration friendships are strengthened,
men who are brothers in arms become more determined in
the promulgation of their cause and they acquire a form of
wisdom obtained by few.
In this crucible a reformer attains maturity of mind andspirit.
“Our enemies, by making this possible, befriend us.

163This is a paradox that must be lived to be fully appreciated.
Persecution is a sign of decadence. When it ends with imprisonment of the persecuted it is more than a symptom of rotof man and principles, it is a sign of death as moral beings.”
These acts of violence indicate the downward trend oforganized medicine, toward its own dissolution.
In Florida, where a compulsory Tuberculosis law has
been foisted on the people, a man dropped dead in the doctor’s office just a few minutes after the physician had given
him a compulsory “shot”. In the trial that ensued, the otherphysicians testified that, “It wasn’t their colleague’s fault; thepatient just couldn’t take it.” The doctor went free, though
he was guilty of murder as well as malpractice
SUPREME COURTESTABLISHED A PRECEDENTSupreme Court Justice Cardozo said, in rendering a decision:‘Every human being of adult years and sound mind has
a right to determine what shall be done to his own body, anda surgeon who performs an operation (vaccination is technically an operation) without his patient’s consent, commits
an assault for which he is liable in damages.”
A British doctor published in a medical journal a
detailed account of how he killed a patient. The medical
council held that Dr. Barton could not be prosecuted unless
it could be proved that Barton’s action did hasten death,that he acted knowingly, and that the patient actually died.
Baron told the doctors, “Thank God, you have to provethese things, otherwise you and I would not be free.” Theseor any other guilty physicians are not going to prison or to
the electric chair because all they have to do is to declare that
their action did not hasten death. Medical doctor’s licensedoes not protect the public; it protects the doctors fromprosecution by the public.

164

“Dr. Simon Louis Katzoff, M.D. wrote. ‘Doctors live by
disease, so the public can expect the supply of disease to meetthe demands of the medical profession.’ When it doesn’tmeet the demands, the Health Boards and Tuberculosis societies clamor for compulsory hospitalization and treatment,
seizing the victim’s property to pay them.”
HEALTH BOOKS ATTACKED
BY MEDICAL TRUST
Not only are the health doctors with their superior methods put out of business by the medical “wrecking crew” butthe books that teach the truth about healing are under constant attack also. The medical trust has its stooges plantedin the post office department and when a good health bookgives them too much competition they have a “fraud order”
issued and the author and publisher no longer have the useof the mails. These medically made laws see to it that they
do not have to come out in the open and declare themselves
as the attackers. The author has to fight an unseen enemy
who is protected by the law and does not even have to haveany proof that the book or author has violated any law. I
have followed some of these cases closely and have read thecomplete transcript of the court proceedings and there isno semblance of justice in this process. The author and thebook is condemned and barred from the mails, sometimes
even before the hearing. There is never any trial by jury
and the decision is always against the writer and in favorof the concealed medical opponent. The decision is based
entirely on the private opinion of a hired medical witness.
The testimony and proof of innocence of the writers are
entirely ignored, as there is no jury.

165

GANGSTERS IN THE GOVERNMENT
In l946, during one of our largest polio epidemics in Los
Angeles, I wrote a book (Polio Control) exposing the polio
racket. My statements were well documented and the doctors didn’t like it. I believe it would have eliminated polio
epidemics if it had been allowed to reach the people. I had
the manuscript examined by a lawyer before I had it published to be sure everything was legal and in order. I had theLos Angeles Post Office authorities examine it to be surethere was nothing in it for which I could be legally barredfrom the mails and it was declared within the law. The medical trust had their stooges work for two years trying to getsomething on me so they could legally put me out of business but when they failed they brazenly issued a fraud orderwithout any legal grounds or lawful reasons. They knew I
had no money to fight a case with so they thought I would
probably “stay put” when they destroyed my business andput the book out of circulation. I talked to one of the post
office officials and asked what I could do and he said, “You
can take your lawyer back to Washington and fight but it
won’t do you any good; those cases are ‘sewed up’ beforehand.” I wrote a long and detailed letter refuting all theirfalse charges but this was disregarded and I was notified by
special messenger I was barred from the mails eight days
before the day set for my hearing—in other words, I wascondemned without a trial. I was convicted on the statement of the medical witness that my “book disagreed withaccepted medical belief and therefore was dangerous.” (Iadmit it could be dangerous to the corrupt medical policies.)
On inquiring around I found others who had been barredalso without cause. One of these was Al Williams, an ex-pugilist, who had established several gymnasiums in downtown
Los Angeles, that were popular with the business men who
were interested in keeping fit. He had an especially successful166weight reducing system that put the medical methods toshame. This bothered some of the medical boys so they didsome string-pulling in Washington and Mr. Williams was
soon barred from the mails on fraud charges. This put him
practically out of business so he took his lawyer and evidence back to Washington to fight the case, but since no jury
trial was permitted and no testimony was accepted exceptthat of the medical “expert witness” of the opposition, thebiased judge passed the sentence of “guilty”. He took thecase to the Supreme Court and won, of course, because he
was innocent in the first place and had a clear case. But it
cost him $13,000 and three years loss of business to merely
establish his right to have his mail delivered.
The guilty culprits in the post office department were notreprimanded or required to pay Mr. Williams damages for
his loss. They were left in the same position where they could
do the same thing the next day if they wanted to. Even theworld’s worst gangsters—Al Capone and his hatchet men—were never guilty of committing as many underhanded andopen crimes against life and property as the medical trust
has done in this country.
HEALTH RESEARCH ATTACKED
BY MEDICAL TRUST
For the past 12 years Dr. R. G. Wilborn, D.C., and his firm
Health Research has conducted the largest health book business in the west. Thousands of excellent books by educatorsand the world’s best informed writers on health, were circulating around through the country and raising the healthstandards of the people. Health is a menace and a threat tothe medical profession so the same well-oiled strings wereagain pulled in Washington and Health Research was issued
a fraud complaint. Dr. Wilborn and this large health businessof many years standing were to be suddenly and completely

167

ruined by one fell stroke of the medical dictatorship. Timetested health books that have been selling all over the worldfrom hundreds of book stores were all at once declared tobe the cause of the fraud order. And, although the otherstores would continue to sell them, Health Research was tobe denied mail delivery and completely put out of business,for selling these same books.
Dr. Wilborn had heard about some of the questionable fraud order cases, so years ago before investing in thisexpensive book business he checked with the post officeauthorities and had one of the postal inspectors examine all
his stock of books to be sure they met with the legal specifications. The books were declared to be in order so when
the fraud charges came he knew it did not originate in thepost office department The postal authorities refused to givethe names of the attackers who were seeking to destroy the
Health Business, so in concealing the criminals the postal
authorities become parties to the crime.
Excerpts from the fraud complaint are as follows:“Post Office Department—Office of the
Chief Hearing Examiner—Washington 25, D.C.
(May 11, 1955)—delivered May 14, 1955.
‘In the matter of the complaint that Health Research, Dr.
R. G. Wilborn (D.C.) and (partner) are engaged in conducting an unlawful enterprise through the mails .... The
Undersigned, (William C. O’Brian) Assistant Solicitor,
Fraud Division, Post Office Dept. ... alleges that the respondents are now and have been obtaining remittance of money
through the mails for various books and pamphlets entitled:
Commonsense about Cancer, The Grape Cure, Attacking andArresting Arthritis, Health for All, “Getting Well”, “Is Cancer
Curable, The Prostate Gland; Perfect Health, Tuberculosis;
Its Cause and Cure, Tumors, and Back to Eden, by means offalse and fraudulent pretenses, representations and promises168

as hereinafter set forth.
“That the Publication entitled Health for All contains
information and instructions the following of which will
effectively treat and cure such conditions and diseases assinusitis, bronchial asthma, goiter, colitis, peptic ulcer, diabetes mellitus, arthritis, rheumatism, high blood pressure
and infantile paralysis.”
The complaint goes on telling what the books promisein the way of healing. The fact that hundreds of people havebeen healed of these diseases by following these instructions doesn’t concern the medically dominated Post Office
Fraud Department. The medical profession has no cure forany of these diseases and, like the dog in the manger they
intend to prevent anyone else from curing them either, oreven from having the right to choose their reading matterthat will teach them how to do it themselves. These books
are also barred from tax supported public libraries so thepeople are at the mercy of the disease producing medical
business unless they rise up and throw off the yoke of medical oppression.
Back to Eden and The Grape Cure were barred once
before but were reinstated because there were no legal
grounds for the action and someone had enough money tofight for them.
Health Research had sold 500 copies of Back to Eden
at $7.00 per copy with a money-back guarantee and theletters flowed in from the satisfied customers who had been
healed or helped by its information. Yet, the selling of thisbook was one or the reasons why Health Research was being
prosecuted.
Medically operated organizations and money-making
schemes such as the cancer fund raising organizations,
March of Dimes money-making racket, vaccination campaigns. etc., are allowed to make untrue and impossible

169

claims and promises and accept fabulous sums of money
year after year without ever performing the benefits or fulfilling their promises, yet they are never barred from themails no matter how brazenly fraudulent they are. If evenhalf of the money, that is filched from the public by theseorganizations, were put into the hands of some responsibleorganization like Dr. Shelton’s Hygienic Society and used
for public health education purposes, the present diseasecrisis of this country could soon be brought under control.
Dr. Wilborn knew he would not get a fair trial by jury
if he tried to fight the case in Washington so he waged acampaign from his office in California and hired a goodlawyer who knew the post office “set-up”, (Attorney James
B. Gooding, of Washington D.C.) to fight the case fromthere. When Dr. Wilborn’s letters (about the fraud complaint) reached the hands of his large mailing list, a barrageof letters flew to Washington (Congress and Senate) asking
for an investigation of the corrupt, medically contaminatedPost Office Fraud Department. Racketeers don’t like to beinvestigated so the “under cover boys” in the Post Officemodified their charges immediately and admitted thatthe books were not fraudulent and were no longer underattack. However, they still held the whip lash over the headof Health Research if its advertising suggested cure in any
way, shape or form. The medicos still insist that the word
cure is their private property just the same as they have tried
to “corner” the whole healing business.
The Health Research Case brought into view a number of other submerged cases. One contact who had beenbarred from the mails wrote to Dr. Wilborn as follows: “Togive you an idea of what smaller businesses are up againstin the Food and Drug Administration-Post Office combination of the Medical Trust, let it be remembered that any
company can be put under fraud order without due process170

of law—just upon the opinion of any lawyer in the Post
Office Department. The fraud law was written in 1874 andneeds re-writing to bring about justice. We are still working
with the authorities in Washington to get this done. Once a
fraud smear is issued, then supposedly due process of law
can be carried on for its removal. Actually, however, theset-up is extremely corrupt. It is so corrupt that the Head
Trial Examiner of the Post Office “blew his top” about two
years ago and sent an eleven page report to both the Senate
and the House Judiciary Committees. He then transferredto the Federal Power Commission. His report was a protest
against pressures constantly brought to bear to have him
violate the Administrative Procedures Act which guarantees
fair hearings to citizens, in theory at least, and forbids any
private contact with Examiners or Judges to influence decisions. After his departure, more crooked decisions occurred.
A fraud order is supposed to be based on legitimate
complaints. When Dr. Wilborn’s customers wrote to the
Fraud Department for the complaints or for any statements
he had made in his advertising that could be consideredfraudulent, the officials in the Post Office Department wrote:“This office does not make a general distribution of thespecification of charges issued in these fraud order cases
and, therefore your request for such a copy must be denied.”
When Dr. Wilborn’s customers asked for the names of
his accusers, the post office refused to reveal their names.
If a charge is serious enough to ruin a person’s business,
reputation and life work, is it asking too much to know who
his attackers are so he can meet them in fair fight?
WHERE CRIME PAYS
We like to believe that crime doesn’t pay. But we see theconstant multiplication of deaths from unnecessary operations and medically poisoned patients where the doctor

171

“buries his mistakes” and then collects a small fortune fromthe survivors. We see the multi-million dollar “take” fromthe vaccination campaigns conducted at least twice a year
in all American cities. We see health businesses and writers
ruined by unjust and dishonest fraud orders, in which they
have no chance of winning unless they can afford a Supreme
Court case, and few health idealists are wealthy enough tobuy justice at such a price. Liberty and protection in a freecountry should be the right of the poor as well as the rich.
We are wondering when we will be released from this curseof medical domination—where crime pays.

172

CHAPTER 10
THE HIDDEN DANGERS IN POLIO VACCINE
The following is a sample of the propaganda that isfrequently seen in the magazines and newspapers and allchannels of national advertising:Get Polio Vaccination Now

To Protect Your Child This SummerYour boy or girl will have the best chance for protection
before polio hits again, if vaccine is given now. The Salk
vaccine strikingly reduced paralytic polio among those who
received it in 1955 and it will protect many thousands in
1956, if it is used in time.
To make a real dent in polio in 1956, vaccinations must be
stepped up immediately. Success will depend on how many
children receive at least two vaccine shots before the next
polio season begins. See your doctor or public health officer
NOW for advice about when and where to obtain vaccine.
This is what the people are told. Let’s uncover the facts andsee what actually happens when polio vaccine is used.
“Salk vaccine is hard to make and no batch can ever be
proved safe before it is given to children.” This is an admission that was made by Dr. Scheele, (Surgeon General) before
the Atlantic City Convention of the American Associationin 1955. (Reported in New York Times, June 8, 1955.)
Being fully aware of the hazardous aspects of the polio
vaccine, Dr. Scheele announced that it was the intention of
the U.S. Government to inoculate 57 million people before
August 1955. (Report from the Lancet, June 4, 1955)

173

SAFETY PROMISEDWITHOUT INVESTIGATION OR PROOF$9,000,000 of public funds were gambled on this financiallypromising but highly questionable venture before it was evendeclared safe and usable. Later, when the over dramatizedannouncement was made that it was “safe” there was still
no scientific evidence or factual proof of its safety. The promoters of this inflated vaccine “scheme” expected a 5 billion
dollar profit in the first year of operation. (Direct quotations
supporting this statement are given under the topic heading,
The Money Motive, at the end of the chapter.)
Even after the vaccine had killed 7 people and the number was mounting every day, the propaganda committee
put words into the mouths of important government officials, still insisting that the vaccine was “safe” and must becontinued.
The Cutter laboratory was used as the “scape goat” until
the many disasters from the other laboratories could nolonger be concealed. Then instead of abandoning the whole“deadly mess”, the Cutter laboratory was declared in goodstanding again and allowed to continue—not because its
vaccine was any safer, but because the vaccine from the restof them was just as deadly, and none of them intended tostop or lose any profits.
Any doctor, scientist or authority on the subject of vaccine knows that these substances are “highly toxic” (poison),therefore, no vaccine can be made safe. Current magazine
articles have described in detail, the composition of the Salk
vaccine so it will not be repeated here except to say that thedecomposed kidney tissues and pus from a diseased animal
combined with the two poison drugs cannot be injected
into the living blood stream without harmful effects. The
records of the experiments on children show that more of
the vaccinated people died or contracted polio than did the174unvaccinated. The fact that all the vaccinated people did
not die does not mean that they were not harmed. No one
knows yet, what the future results will be.
James McIntosh, Professor of Pathology at London
University, in an address before the Royal Society of
Medicine, October 19, 1926, stated:“Scientifically it cannot be disputed that every point ofview the injection of virus capable of multiplying in the bodyof the individual is bad. When multiplication of the virus
occurs, then there is no possibility of estimating the dose towhich the patient has been subjected. Thus the effect cannot
be controlled, and in susceptible individuals this may leadto unforeseen results.”
Data from the bleedings performed five months after
inoculation of Salk vaccine, indicated that the immunity(if any) did not last long. Dr. Salk is reported to have said
that “children vaccinated last year should be given booster
inoculations this year.” An editorial in the Lancet (weekly
Medical Journal April 23, 1955) comments: “If it is foundthat, contrary to Salk’s hopes antibody levels cannot be
maintained without a succession of booster doses, thena serious problem will arise. Will it be necessary to give
injections every year; and, if so, for how long would they
be given? ... If injections are given regularly for several years
to millions of children the risk of allergic reactions to monkey kidney tissue will become increasingly grave.” (Emphasis
mine, McBean)
Dr. Ritchie Russell of the Department of Neurology,
Radcliffe Infirmary Oxford, said, “When poliomyelitis
is precipitated by inoculation the natural defenses of thenervous system seem to be ineffective, and nearly all suchillnesses develop into a paralytic form of the disease affecting especially the limb used for the injection.” (Lancet, May
21, 1955, p. 1071)

175

The Manchester Guardian (April 15, 1955) stated, “Oneof Britain’s greatest physiologists said to-day that if it meansthat a child should be re-inoculated at frequent intervals
with a preparation derived from monkey kidneys it is terrifying in its possibilities. Among them is the risk of thechild’s developing sensitivity to some of the ingredients ofthe vaccine.” The editor of the Lancet (June 11, 1955, p.
1207) emphasized this further when he wrote: “In addition
to the possibility of producing the very disease the vaccine
is used to prevent, ‘there is a risk, of unknown dimensions,that repeated injection of a vaccine prepared from monkey
kidney may eventually sensitize the child in some harmful
way’.”BRITISH PAPERS WARN AGAINSTSALK VACCINEIn April, 1955 after the “big Salk campaign” had beenlaunched in the United States, the Government and all
officials and agencies concerned announced to the worldthat “the war against polio was almost certainly at an end.”
The other countries are a little more conservative and alittle less willing to be “taken in” by the sales propagandaof the Salk promoters. The general sentiment of our foreign neighbors was expressed by Dr. A. M. Payne when hedeclared: “Poliomyelitis is not beaten. We do not know how
long the effect lasts. ... we do not know if it will be effective
under other conditions than those in which it was used; we
do not know how best to use it. We do know that there aremany (unsolved) intricate problems in the manufacture ofthis vaccine.” (Manchester Guardian, April 14, 1955)“London, April 22, 1955 (Reuters)—The British Medical
Journal today warned physicians against over enthusiastic
acceptance of the Salk anti-polio vaccine citing ‘the possibility of toxic effects’.”176

On this same point the Lancet said it would be “veryreluctant to see the vaccine used on a large scale in Britain
without further tests.” It also warned, “the possibility of
toxic effects from repeated injections with monkey tissues
must be considered.”Caution was cast to the winds in this country and our
U.S. Government and medical profession had no hesitancy
in using the unproved vaccine and repeating their blundering tests on millions of human beings even after the large
number of deaths and paralysis had proved it to be not only
a failure but a dangerous killer. Most of the experiments
were made on children too small to fight back.

HOW SAFE IS SAFE?
1. Are the men who set themselves up as authorities on polio
really qualified to decide the issues of life and death?
2. Have the self-styled medical “experts” been infallible
enough in their past decisions to be trusted with the precious
lives of our children and our future generations?
3. Have the more effective drugless methods of prevention
and treatment of polio been investigated and tested?
These are some of the questions that people are asking andto which they have a right to expect satisfactory answers.
SALK “SPEAKS UP” IN LIFE MAGAZINE
In an article titled Tracking the Killer, in LIFE magazine
Dr. Salk was asked if his monkey vaccine was safe. To thisquery he replied:“There is no question of ‘how safe is it?’ It is safe, andit can’t be safer than safe.”
Many people would seriously like to believe this statement but available scientific facts condemn it and hold it
up to ridicule.
Shortly after the Salk vaccination program was swung
into action, the American Public Health Service (June 23,1955) announced that there had been “168 confirmed casesof poliomyelitis among the vaccinated, with six deaths‚ …
How many vaccinated children will eventually be reported
as developing the disease is as yet unknown . .
“The interval between inoculation and the first sign ofparalysis ranged from 5 to 20 days and in a large proportionof cases it started in the limb on which the injection had
been given. Another feature of the tragedy was that the
numbers developing polio were far greater than would havebeen expected had no inoculations been given. In fact in thestate of Idaho, according to a statement by Dr. Carl Eklund,178

one of the Government’s chief virus authorities, polio struck
only vaccinated children in areas where there had been nocases of polio since the preceding autumn; in 9 out of 10
cases the paralysis occurred in the arms in which the vaccine
had been injected.” (News Chronicle, May 6, 1955)
According to the Daily Telegraph (June 18, 1955) Mr.
Peterson, State Health Director of Idaho, stopped further
inoculations and stated: “We have lost confidence in the
Salk Vaccine.” He also stated that he “holds the vaccine,
together with the instructions for its manufacture, directly
responsible for the outbreak of polio and the deaths that
had occurred.”
The serum makers were gambling for big stakes anddecided that the “show must go on” in spite of death anddisaster. The condemned Cutter laboratory had over a
million dollars worth of deadly vaccine on hand and thedisasters had caused its stock to drop from $15.50 to $8.75
per share, (according to Time, June 20, 1955). The other 5laboratories with their $8,000,000 supply of “Salk liability”
were involved also because deaths and disease were being
reported from their vaccines every day. Then suddenly thedeaths from Salk vaccine ceased to be reported. In a letter
published in Defender Magazine, the writer stated: “I am
informed by someone who works in a newspaper office thatmuch of the bad news concerning the results of the Salk
Program is being censored and deleted out of the news to
keep people complacent and acquiescent.”
SOME COUNTRIES REJECT VACCINES
In Australia when a few children died as a result of smallpox
vaccinations the government abolished compulsory vaccination in that country and smallpox suddenly declined to thevanishing point. Australia had only three cases of smallpox
in 15 years as compared with Japan’s record of 165,774 cases

179and 28,979 deaths from this cause in only 7 years (18861892) under compulsory vaccination and re-vaccination.
In Austria, where Bela Schick invented the Schick testfor diphtheria, it killed several children and the rulers there
declared it to be too dangerous and prohibited its use in thatcountry. Apparently Mr. Schick was not concerned withsuch trivialities as death and disease; he was out to makemoney. Most of the European countries didn’t trust him andrejected his poisons, so he brought it to America where heknew the unscrupulous medical and drug trusts dominate
the healing field. Here he found a ready market. A lush
harvest was promised and the customary pressure technique
was turned on and the exploitable public was again used andabused. So we have seen with the passing of years, that the
Schick test and diphtheria anti-toxin continue to take theirtoll of lives while our elected officers and public protectors(?) look the other way.
To show how death, disease and failure of vaccination
is ignored in this country, in favor of fabulous profits for afew, let us recall one of the many disasters that bear this out:
In Dallas, Texas, 10 children died as a direct result of the“safe” diphtheria anti-toxin shots. For every one who died,hundreds suffered from the various vaccine diseases, manyof which left permanent disabilities. This is not a special
case; it is typical of all vaccinations. But most parents do
not sue and the other cases never reach public notice. But
these Texas parents were not to be “put off ” by medical
excuses. Numerous damage suits were brought against thedoctors and the serum manufacturer, H. K. Mulford Co.
The doctors succeeded in evading the issue by claiming that
it was a bad batch of serum. (All serum is bad that doesn’tstop them). The Mulford Co. insisted that it was not a badbatch of serum but was just the same as all their serum andthis lot (series A 377061) had been re-tested and passed180

satisfactorily all the tests and requirements conforming to
the laboratory of the Public Health Service at Washington
D.C.
The complaints of the parents were that “the diphtheria
anti-toxin sold by the Mulford Co., was unfit, poisonous,
dangerous and deadly.” The doctors and serum company
displayed great dexterity in juggling terms, inventing excusesand denying guilt but the children were still just as dead asa result of shots from the “whitewashed” serum as if they
had been shot with bullets, and it was irrefutably proved incourt that the vaccine serum killed them. Damages aggregating $78,000 were paid to the parents of the dead children,by the Mulford Co. The Mulford Co. wishing to continue
in the same blood poisoning business and also wishing tododge public disapproval, had its attorneys specify that “thejudgement shall fall, not on the Mulford Co. but on Mr.
Pierce Russell, the Mulford distributor.” He was, probably,
the least guilty of any of them because he could not havecontaminated the sealed ampules of vaccines. However, his
employer, undoubtedly made it worth his while—financially... to take the blame. In this type of “white collar” murder,(the legally proved), guilty parties are not reprimanded oreven asked to cease and desist” from a continuance of thecrimes.
ALL VACCINESCAN CAUSE POLIO“Mrs. Helen B. Covington, of Kensington, Pa. filed a$150,000 suit in the United States District Court, against
Wyeth Inc. Philadelphia drug manufacturer, charging thatan anti-rabies vaccine had produced paralysis” (The Truth
Teller p. 26, Aug 1947).
Dr. William F Koch (MD, PhD) stated that “The injection of any serum, vaccine, or even penicillin, has shown a181very marked increase in the incidence of polio, at least 400%.
statistics on this are so conclusive, no one can deny it.”
The United States Public Health Bureau is extremely
reticent about reporting diseases caused by vaccination but
the report from 1922 to 1931 admitted that there had been
85 cases of post-vaccinal encephalitis, which DeKruif states“is the twin of infantile paralysis.”
In St. Louis (1933) after a typhoid vaccination campaign
there was an outbreak of encephalitis (a form of polio)
in which over 100 died. It was reported that the diseasedeveloped about 10 days after vaccination and in each casevaccinia was indicated in the brain upon postmortem.
In 1926 two prominent English Professors of Pathology,
Doctors Turnbull and McIntosh reported a number ofcases of encephalitis lethargica (sleeping sickness—formof polio) following vaccination. This led to the appointmentof two—commissions of the British Ministry of Health, toinvestigate the situation. Their reports published in 1928
revealed that there had been 231 cases and 91 deaths fromthis cause (post vaccinal encephalitis) in England and Wales.
According to a report in the Hobart (Tasmania) Mercury,(April 11, 1950), “Combined injections for diphtheria andwhooping cough may cause severe cases of infantile paralysis.” It stated that a St. Pancras, London medical officer
found 40 cases and that a British Health Ministry doctor
reported 65 cases where paralysis occurred two weeks after
vaccine injections, and in 49 of these, the paralysis was confined to the limb in which the injection had been given.
Two of the cases followed the injection of penicillin. Dr. J.
K. Marlin, from the Guy Hospital reported 80 cases wherechildren developed infantile paralysis soon after having been
vaccinated. Mercury stated that “the doctors realizing thedanger of their findings to the government’s diphtheria
immunization campaign, withheld publications until some182

of the cases could be followed up over a period of many
months. Some of the children recovered after a year or more.
Others are still paralyzed ....”
After the many months of observation of these disastersof vaccination the London County Council finally banned
the use of the combined diphtheria and whooping coughinjections in the clinics during the months when infantile
paralysis was most prevalent.
Isn’t it appalling that the governments and the serum
promoters see and know that vaccination causes paralysis yet they curtail it only during the months when polio
is most prevalent. They still insist on having the revenue
from the deadly practice the rest of the time regardless ofthe consequences. If they would care to observe the “polio
season” they would see that it is only at the times when it iscreated by the doctors with their poisoned needles and thepeople with their excessive eating of sugar products andother devitalizing and semi-poisoned foods.
Dr. L. C. Appel writes: “The fact that vaccination iseither the (a) adding of a disease to a body already weighted
with disease, or else, (b) the giving of a disease to a perfectly
healthy body, is the medical reason why some of us (medical doctors) oppose vaccination and urge its abolition. A
perfectly healthy body is proof against natural disease; adiseased or unhealthy body is handicapped by being given
another (inoculated) disease. A diseased or unhealthy bodycan never be rendered healthy by inoculation or vaccination.”
Dr. Harry R. Baybee said:“My honest opinion is that vaccination is the cause of
more disease and suffering than anything I could name.”Dr. F. H. Haines voiced his views on vaccination as
follows:“It is impossible to say what remote after-effects may
be caused by the introduction of alien substances into

183

the blood stream. Many nervous and other disorders of
unknown origin are too often met with. Products which altermetabolism, change the nature of fundamental secretions,cause profound change in the fluids of the body, allergy andanaphylaxis, are the negation of nature’s own methods, andmust be viewed with grave misgivings and cautious suspicion.” (The Truth About Vaccination, by Lily Loat)
In an article in Archives of Disease in Childhood, (March,1950) Dr. 3. K. Martin, of England, gives details of “17cases of poliomyelitis which followed 28 days or less after
inoculation.” Analysis of the cases showed that 8 of themhad been inoculated with A.P.T. Two had other injections
against diphtheria, 2 had penicillin injections, 5 had combined diphtheria and whooping cough inoculations and 1
had whooping cough inoculations alone.
Not long after these cases had been published it encouraged other doctors to bring their findings out in the open
and several other medical journals in Australia and England
published articles which reported numerous cases of paralysis following vaccination. Two investigators, Dr. McCloskey,
in Australia and Dr. Geffen in London both observed that“the point that struck them was that the paralysis started in
the limb in which the injection had been made.”(Details of these findings are reported in the Lancet(London) for April 8, 1950 and The Medical Officer, forApril 8, 1950.)
Two British statisticians were asked to investigate
whether or not there appeared to have been any “Appreciablerisk of poliomyelitis following within a month of inoculation during the 1948 outbreak of polio.” The investigators,
Dr. A. Bradford Hill and Dr. I. Knowelden, of the London
School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine, reported:“The statistics collected in this inquiry reveal clearly an
association between recent injections and paralysis .... We

184

must conclude that in the 1949 epidemic of poliomyelitis in
this country, cases of paralysis were occurring which wereassociated with inoculation procedures carried out within
the month preceding the record date of onset of the illness...” (Reported in the British Medical Journal, July 1, 1950)
Although the British government, under the pressureof Socialism has been forced to make many concessions infavor of the common people such as abolishing compulsory
vaccination, making investigations that revealed the fallacy
of many medical practices etc. Mr. Bevin, speaking in behalfof the medical fraternity in the House of Commons on
November 24, 1947 still tried to protect the medical rackets
when he stated:“As I am advised, there are no medical grounds for
attributing to vaccination or diphtheria immunization any
connection with polio” (infantile paralysis).
The investigations of the Ministry of Health were notin agreement with this stand as is seen in its statement that“in the last few years there is evidence that occasionallyfollowed vaccination.”
A report in the Lancet (April 8, 1950) stated that Dr.
McClosky of Melbourne had inquired into 340 cases ofpoliomyelitis which occurred in Victoria (from January toAugust, 1949) and found that 31 of them had occurred inchildren who had received diphtheria or whooping cough(pertussis) vaccine, or both, within three months of the onsetof the disease. Of the 31 cases, 30 of them suffered severe
paralysis which was most pronounced in the limb in which
the injection was given.
The Medical Officer (April 8, 1950) reported the findingsof Dr. D. H. Geffen who stated that in the first four monthsof that year, in St. Pancras, London, 30 children under fivedeveloped infantile paralysis within four weeks of being
immunized against diphtheria or whooping cough (or both)185

“the paralysis affecting, in particular, the limb of injection.
In 7 other recently vaccinated cases, paralysis occurred but
not in the limb that had received the injection.
Dr. Arthur Gale of the Health Ministry reported (in the
Daily Express for April 10, 1950) that he had observed 65
cases mainly from the Midlands’ in which paralysis developed about two weeks after an injection; and in 49 of these,
paralysis was confined to the limb in which the injection
had been given.
The report of the Government investigation (British
Medical Journal, July 1, 1950) conducted by Dr. A Bradford
Hill and 3. Knowelden revealed that there were 410 casesof infantile paralysis among children under five years. Of
these 249 had been inoculated at the same time. Of 41 cases
it was not known if they had been vaccinated or not. Of
35 cases in which poliomyelitis developed within a monthof inoculation, the limb that had received the vaccine wasparalyzed. This was usually the left arm.
The British Medical Journal (July 29, 1950) reported 112
cases of paralysis admitted to the Park Hospital, London
during 1947-1949 in which 14 were paralyzed in the limb
“which had received one or more of a course of immunizing injections within the previous two months. The interval
between the last injection and the onset of paralysis in the
majority of cases was between 9 and 14 days. The paralysis
followed (A.P.T.) combined pertussis (whooping cough) anddiphtheria prophylactic in nine cases, pertussis vaccine alone
in one case, and diphtheria prophylactic alone in four cases.
The paralysis, whether of arm or leg, conformed in general
to a uniform pattern. It was not associated in time or placewith any particular clinic or technique.”In all 14 cases, paralysis occurred in the injected limb; in
12 cases it was the arm and in 2 cases, the leg. This outbreakof polio followed an intensive immunization campaign

186during that time (1947-1949).
The serum makers probably had a surplus of vaccine tosell, as is the case in this country (United States) when thescare campaigns are engineered and the gullible people arestampeded into the vaccination centers to be “shot.”
In Los Angeles (1946) after the largest smallpox vaccination campaign in the history of the city, an epidemic ofpolio broke out within two weeks after the “shots” and by
the end of the summer there were 26 deaths from this cause
and 1,900 reported cases. The County Epidemiologist estimated that there were about 15 times as many unreported
cases which would bring the count up to 28,000 cases. The
report for the entire United States for 1951 was only 28,395.
An average vaccination campaign nets the doctors about$2,000,000 so this one must have been tremendous in profits.
The amount of the “take” has never been revealed. This
Polio epidemic triggered off a “bigger than ever” Marchof Dimes campaign and the people were ‘bled” again formoney to support the medical racket that creates more disease in order to scare the people into more donations andso the vicious circle continues.
POLIO FROM VACCINATIONIN OTHER COUNTRIESEngland, Australia and United States are not the only countries that have found that vaccination causes polio and its
variations such as encephalitis, meningitis, and certain otherdiseases.
In the New York State Journal of Medicine, (May 15,1926) reports were given of post-vaccinal encephalitis inseveral other countries. In a brief of an article by Dr. W. F.
Winkler, of the University Clinic of Rostock, Germany itsays: “Quite recently isolated cases of cerebral symptoms,suggesting encephalitis, following vaccination have been187

reported from Holland, Czechoslovakia, and Germany
and from Switzerland there have been reported two casesof serious meningitis.”
The (Aug. 27, 1928) Report of the League of Nations
tells of 139 cases and 41 deaths. “This resulted in Holland
stopping compulsory vaccination during 1928-1929. The
total number of vaccinations in Holland in the first half of1928 was less than one-third of those for the first half of1927 and the deaths from encephalitis were reduced to lessthan one-third.” (Vaccine and Serum Evils— Shelton—p. 15)
Germany modified her compulsory vaccination law, as aresult of the increased number of polio cases that developed
from vaccination. The International News Service, (Feb.
27, 1930) states: “The change of attitude of some medical
experts towards vaccination in favor of a less rigid enforcement of the law has been brought about mainly through aconsiderable number of post-vaccinal diseases observed in
Holland and England and in sporadic cases in Germany.”
Dr. Carl Leiner, of Vienna reported cases of encephalitis
and meningitis developing 9 to 15 days after vaccination.
He admitted “that in a generalized infection, like generalized vaccinia, there may be intracranial complications.” In
autopsies, Dr. Lucksch was able to show beyond doubt that“death had been due to encephalitis.” Dr. Bastianse, of theHague, reported 34 similar cases which occurred in Holland
during 18 months (1924-25) with a death rate of 40%. The
Netherlands, France and other countries have also reported
cases of this kind.
In an article in The Journal of the American Medical
Association, (July 3, 1926, p. 45.) on Nervous Disturbancesand Smallpox Vaccination, is stated, “In regions in which
there is no organized vaccination of the population, generalparalysis is rare. In patients with general paralysis, he (Dr.
Daraskwiewiez) has never seen smallpox scars, but smallpox

188vaccination scars were always present.” Various physicians
agreed that, “It is impossible to deny a connection between
vaccination and the encephalitis which follows it.” (emphasis
supplied)
In England (1923-1925) an intensive vaccination campaign was carried out which caused a steady increase in thecases of Encephalitis-Lethargica and similar diseases until
in 1924 there were 6,296 reported cases with unestimatedthousands of unreported cases. Liverpool was at least 50%
better vaccinated than the rest of England and had about
100% more encephalitis. The physicians tried to direct blame
away from vaccination by claiming that the diseases were
due to “latent infection,” “inherited weakness,” or “special
susceptibility.”
POLIO NOT CAUSEDBY LIVING VIRUS
The word poliomyelitis was coined from the Greek words“polios” meaning gray, and “myelos” meaning marrow, plus
“itis” meaning inflammation. Thus the word means inflammation of the gray matter of the spinal cord or brain orwherever gray matter is to be found. Every cell of the bodycontains a small amount of gray matter but it is more concentrated in the brain and spinal cord. Inflammation resultsfrom poisoning, irritation and obstructions that interferewith normal functioning. This damage, decay and disintegration of cell structure may terminate in paralysis or death
without any invasion of viruses or germs. Isolated germs
have never been known to attack and cause decay and diseaseof any part of the body. It is the corrosive poison products ofdecay that form the body of the vaccine that does the damage and causes the disease. Germs, bacteria and other suchorganisms are a part of decayed substance; they evolve fromit and are necessary ingredients in the life process of eternal

189change and conversion from one form of life to a related one.
Vaccine poisoning is just one of a number of causes of polio
and other diseases. The section on Other Causes of Polio willdeal with the other main causes. Our concern in this section
is to show that viruses do not cause polio.
Since virus has been medically designated as the “official”
cause of polio we should first of all agree upon some stabledefinition of the term. Some dictionaries define virus as apoison. If this were the accepted definition it would be possible for us to see the connection between virus and polio. But
the physicians and serum makers prefer to imagine a virusthat can fly around in the air and attack people. Any otherkind of a virus could not be made to frighten people into
making large donations and in being vaccinated in the hopeof protecting against it. Without an “air-borne” virus to playwith, the whole vaccine racket would collapse. Therefore, thepeople are constantly reminded that polio is “catching” andthey must have anti-polio “shots” that are intended to build
up “anti-bodies” (which are also mythical suppositions).
Although the promoters of the virus theory of polio insist
that viruses are living organisms that fly around in the air
and cause polio, this has never been proved. This unscientific,
unsound, and undemonstrated virus theory of causation not
only has no value, but it might safely be said that it has had
the opposite effect. The rapid and ungoverned spread of polio
is largely due to the misplaced confidence in the wrong belief.
The popular practice of combating a false theory, not only
leaves the disease unchecked but it directs the attention awayfrom the real causes and discourages true investigation.
WHAT IS A VIRUS?
The 1940 Medical Dictionary defines virus as “the specificliving principle by which an infectious disease is transmitted.”
This definition is vague and meaningless because there is190

no such thing as a “living” principle. According to the dictionaries, a principle is a rule, truth, law etc., and is not a living
entity.
The Scientific Encyclopedia says viruses have been obtainedfor experimentation by means of extremely powerful centrifuges which must be specially built. In the same article it isstated that viruses are so small that they cannot be seen by
the most powerful microscopes. Then how do they know they
produced any? Or is this game of hide and seek just anothermeans of using up the millions of dollars contributed to the
March of Dimes program?
The Modern Encyclopedia, (1944) says in part “A virus differs from a bacterium in that the latter can live and reproduce
itself in an artificial culture such as beef broth, whereas a virus
must live inside a living cell. It is because of the protection
which the living cell affords a virus that serums are of no value
in the treatment of virus diseases.”This shows us that as far back as 1944 it was known
that virus vaccines have no value in treating disease. Yet
these succeeding 10 years have seen more millions of dollars
squandered and more monkeys and other animals and people
tortured and killed and more propaganda built on the false
premise that viruses cause polio, than ever before.
Webster’s Dictionary refers to virus as a “slimy or poisonous liquid”. Pus is a slimy poisonous liquid and forms
where there is inflammation and disintegration of tissue. This
break-down and disintegration of life cells is not a result ofinvasion of germs or viruses but is due to the interferencewith the chemical balance that holds the structure in a stateof normal functioning. When poisons from such things asvaccines, drugs, narcotics, contaminated and devitalized foodsetc., cause degeneration of the cells and disease, the condition
is usually labeled according to the location of the most decay.
For instance, when there is inflammation of the kidney it is191called Bright’s Disease; if it is in the joints, it is arthritis, inthe stomach it is ulcers, in the lungs, we call it tuberculosis,
in the pancreas, it is diabetes and when there is inflammationof the brain and spinal cord affecting the nerves and muscles
it is called polio.
All cases of polio are not paralytic. Dr. Shelton discusses
the subject in an article titled, Do Physicians Cause Infantile
Paralysis? (Hygienic Review, Dec. 1944) in which he says: “Ihave never seen paralysis result in cases of poliomyelitis that
had not been treated with drugs .... They (the physicians) killand cripple their patients with their suppressive measures andthen blame the results on the ‘disease’ or on an unknown
virus. The value of the Kenny treatment is the negative one ofbeing less suppressive and less destructive than the battle-ax
treatment of the medical profession. It does not cure more,
it merely kills fewer.”“In 1908 Dr. Karl Landsteiner, Austrian pathologist,
published his theory, still held today (by backward medical
doctors) that it is a ‘virus’ that launches epidemic polio. A‘virus’ is defined (by him) as a pathogenic, or disease producing microbe, the poison of a contagious disease. Landsteiner
based his theory on the fact that he had been able to induce
polio in monkeys by injecting them with nerve tissues fromfatal human cases. Believing that ‘the poliomyelitis produced
in experimental animals is pseudo-poliomyelitis produced by
Pseudo (false) virus’. Dr. Scobey (in his research) reasoned
that ‘the disease they produced in the monkey was an artificial
disease and not a natural illness as it occurred in man.’ After
exhausting medical literature in the form of case-histories ofthe subject in all lands and at all known times of its appearance, he concluded: (1) It has never been proved that the ‘virus’of polio can cause that disease in human beings; (2) It has
been proved that polio can be caused by cyanide poisoning.”(Prevention Magazine, June, 1950)

192

Cyanide is one of the deadly poisons that is permitted
to be used in insecticide sprays on farm produce. It not only
poisons the food it is sprayed on but it is washed by the rains
into the soil where it kills the valuable earth worms and othersoil building organisms and renders the farm land sterile andunproductive. It also washes down into the streams and contaminates the water supply for both man and animals.
During one of our most widespread polio epidemics(1949) ‘contraction of polio by definite contact with othervictims of the disease was not established in an elaborate study
made by the New York State Health Department. The UnitedStates Public Health Service in its studies also found thesame negative answer during succeeding outbreaks of polio.
In short, they learned that the disease was not contagious.”
TIME Magazine commented on this unexpected revelationof these surveys by remarking that “when and where people
catch polio remains a mystery.”
The supposition that viruses entered through the mouthand nose led the experimenters to make exhaustive tests
on both animals and human beings, mostly prisoners andorphans in institutions. They were exposed (by close association) to polio patients and their throats and nasal passages
were frequently swabbed with matter (from the patients) thatwas supposed to contain viruses. No polio was produced inthis way and about the only noticeable after effect was thatthe subjects of the experiments lost their sense of taste andsmell due to the damaging effects of the poisons in the serumthat was used on the swabs.
CONFUSION IN THE RANKSOF THE GERM BREEDERS
In spite of all the proof to the contrary, those who profit by
the sale of vaccines are trying to make their theory ‘stick,’but there is dissension and clash of conflicting belief for193

lack of facts to depend on
Dr Salk’s stand on his dead virus theory is reviewed in
LIFE magazine in the article Tracking the Killer in which
the writer says: “Dr Salk has reason to believe that his
killed virus when given in the prescribed manner—the third
booster shot increases antibodies enormously—may even
improve on nature” A confused little man with a batch of
putrid serum thinks he can improve on nature
Robert Goglan (in the same article) writes: “Virusdiseases, preventable by vaccination, (?) were found to be
ones in which the virus was blood-borne during some earlystage of the infection and this brings us to a basic dilemmathat confronted polio researchers; nobody could find polio
viruses in the blood of the polio victims at any stage”
This is an interesting point because the blood circulates
through the body every three minutes carrying the purified
arterial blood to the cells and carrying away the waste laden
blood in the veins to be purified again If viruses caused polio
then there would be some indication of dead viruses foundin the venous blood and live viruses would be found bothin and outside of the body.
What started the “dead virus” tangent anyway? It wasdisastrous effects of the previous vaccines that were supposed to contain live viruses that turned the people against
this method of mass murder But the one-track-minds ofsome of the researchers were determined to hang on to thevirus gimmick, whether alive or dead, so dead virus vaccine
was invented
An account of one of the deadly polio vaccine experiments on living human beings may be found in the Journalof the American Medical Association, (Dec. 28, 1935, Vol.
105 p. 2152) The report was made by the Medical Directorof the United States Public Health He says
“During the past year in the United States, several

194

thousand individuals mostly children, have received subcutaneous and intracutaneous injections of treated poliomyelitis
virus with high fatality” He describes 12 cases of which 6
died within 20 days of receiving the first dose of vaccine. Of
the remaining 6 hope of recovery was doubtful. This wasfrom (supposedly) live virus.
Here we see that the doctors were able to cause polio
with serum (protein poisons) but they were not able to cureor control it. The report continues: “It is believed that, tomany physicians, this series of cases ... readers undesirable
the further use of polio virus for human vaccination.”
The deadly effects of the “dead virus” vaccine of Dr. Salk
and the equally deadly effects of the “live virus” vaccines
should close the chapter on polio vaccine but physicians“die hard” when there are large profits in sight. So a few
of these doctors are still trying to revive the virus corpse
by other concoctions. Dr. Albert Sabin is toying with theidea of a virus just between the dead and the live variety
which according to the U.S. News and World Report (May13, 1955) “would be virus that had been tamed—weakened
so it could no longer cause polio but could trigger the body
into setting up protective immunity.” (This would be laughable if it were not so pathetic.)
Dr. Richie Russell favors the use of live viruses taken bymouth instead of injection. He says: “It is certainly more
effective than the Salk method, and may even involve lessrisk, for should an oral (by mouth) vaccine lead unexpectedly to a febrile illness, there are still many chances that noparalytic disease will develop .... When, however, poliomyelitis is precipitated by an inoculation the natural defensesof the nervous system seem to be ineffective, and nearly
all such illnesses develop into a paralytic form of the disease affecting especially the limb used for the injection.”(From—The Story of Salk Anti-Poliomyeitis Vaccine by Dr.

195

M. Beddow Bayly.)
Dr. Russell admits the danger of injecting poison into
the body and acknowledges the hazards of taking the poison
by mouth but suggests that it would be a little less damaging in this way. This gives a choice of two risky, worthlessmethods with no proof of any benefits.
Poison always does serious damage no matter how it istaken, so why nurture the hope that any special brand of“virus” poison vaccine can ever be expected to do any good?
If the physicians cannot comprehend this simple fact thenthe people will need to do their own protecting by avoiding
all vaccines and the rest of the harmful practices of modern
medicine.
It gives us hope to find a few doctors here and there
who seem to be getting a clearer understanding of the situation. Among them is Dr. William J. McCormick who states:(Archives of Pediatrics, Feb. 1950):“The associated virus is regarded as a biochemical substance produced by the disease, which, although capable ofproducing paralysis in experimental animals by catalytic
chemical action in the nervous system, is not necessarily a means of spreading of the disease under ordinary
circumstances.”
Ralph R. Scobey, M.D. (Archives of Pediatrics, Sept.Oct. 1950) tells us that “the so-called virus of poliomyelitis
is considered to be an endogenous (growing from within)
substance resulting from poisoning.” He gives evidence inthe article to support this claim.
J. E. R. McDonagh (The Universe Through Medicine)states that “the virus is formed within, and does not comefrom without.”
A UP Release, (Sept. 8, 1950) reports the views of Dr.
Joseph Melnick (at the International Conference of Biology)
in these words: “He said studies have shown that the nucleus

196

of the cells in the spinal cord may be the place where thepolio virus is manufactured when the disease strikes.”
The total lack of scientific evidence that viruses cause
polio or that they can exist outside the body and attack fromthere, has forced the researchers to look within the causeof disease. When they (the whole healing profession) fullycomprehend this simple fact there will no longer be any fearof germs and there will be no vaccines, disinfectants or otherharmful germicides used. The healing field can then begin
to make rapid advancement and disease can be understoodand eliminated.
MONKEY TESTSARE NO MEASURE FOR MAN
It is the blind acceptance of a false theory (of virus attack)that has promoted ~ and sustained the terrible slaughterof thousands of monkeys to make a vaccine that can neverproduce anything but disastrous results.
Even if vaccines were useful, an artificial laboratory
disease induced in a healthy monkey by methods not experienced by man is not a dependable means of judging theeffectiveness of a vaccine in a self induced cleansing diseaseof man.
Dr. Jean MacNamara in the Medical Journal, (Aug. 12,1933) emphasized the danger of applying facts determinedin experimental poliomyelitis in monkeys to the natural disease in man. He pointed out that there are “marked clinicaldifferences between the pre-paralytic stage of poliomyelitis
in children and in monkeys.”
The Lancet (Aug. 19, 1933) discusses this same pointby saying: “To draw analogies between the pathogenesis ofpoliomyelitis in man and the experimental disease in monkeys might lead us far astray.”
John A. Toomey, M.D. (Science, 82:200. Aug. 30, 1955)

197

stated that “the intranasal and intracerebral inoculation of
the poliomyelitis virus in monkeys does not produce thesame disease seen in man.” In an article in the Journal of
Pediatrics, (19:103, 1941) Dr. Toomey gives evidence toprove that “no animal gets the disease from another no matter how intimately exposed.” For this reason quarantine forpoliomyelitis is useless.
Dr. Patrick Meenan, bacteriologist at St. Vincent’s
Hospital, Dublin, states (Lancet, April 18, 1953) that “mostof the recent work on poliomyelitis has been done on chimpanzees, which seem to react to infection much as man does.”Of course monkeys and other animals suffer from induced
disease the same as people but this has nothing to do withthe cause and cure of disease. This realization is slowly filtering through the muddled minds of some of the doctors,
which gives us some hope. Dr. Patrick Meenan shows usthat he is getting a little closer to the correct understanding
when he says: “The fundamental difficulty is to know how
far experimental findings can be applied to natural infection
in man. What is the relation between the disease in animals
produced by large doses of laboratory adapted strains andthat in man produced by small doses of naturally occurring
virus? Is the pathogenesis of poliomyelitis in man the sameas in the chimpanzee?”
Dr. E. R. Krumbiegel, City Health Commissioner of
Milwaukee, Wisc. reported (Sentinal, May 24, 1955) thatthese tests on monkeys “do not rule out the possibility that
small amounts of weakened polio virus which will not infectmonkey tissues, may still be able to multiply in human tissues .... Monkey tissues are not necessarily comparable tohuman tissues in this respect. This is exemplified by the factthat the amount of inactivated virus necessary to produce agood polio response in humans is far less than that neededin monkeys, and far less in monkeys than in mice.”

198

These two doctors are still floundering around in thedelusion of “virus causation” but they are discovering thefallacies and in time will probably emerge into the light.
When they inject some of the putrefied protein which theycall virus vaccine, into people it takes less of it to produce
toxic poisoning and paralysis than it does in animals. This
is not because man’s reaction to germs or viruses is any
different from that of animals; it is because man is alreadyon the border-line of toxemia because of the incompatible
foods and poisons he uses, while the animals that live out
in nature and eat unprocessed foods are strong and moreresistant to poisons.
Dr. Alfred Byrne, in a scathing criticism of the Salk
vaccine, in the Spectator for July 22, 1955, stated: “It is
known that the monkey test for the virus is so crude as toconstitute a source of danger as it will not always, by anymeans, differentiate between the presence of no live virus
and live virus present in small amounts.” He recognized
the potential hazards to be so apparent that he considered
it remarkable that there were not considerably more deaths
and paralysis from the Salk vaccine. He wrote: “The deaths
might have been multiplied ten or a hundred-fold.”
If the complete records were made public we would all
be surprised to find that there are so many more Salk casualties than have been reported.
WHAT DOES THE “SALK” IMMUNITY MEAN?
The U.S. News and World Report (May 13, 1955) in an-article on Better Polio Vaccine in Sight states: “The Salk
vaccine, admittedly, offers only limited protection, though
its developer believes it can be improved over the 60 to 90
per cent effectiveness shown by the trials last summer.”
There is a wide margin between 60 and 90 per cent.
Would any employer hire a worker who made mistakes 40%

199

of the time and never improved over 90%? Would anyone
run his business with such haphazard results? Yet the parents are urged to trust the lives of their children in the handsof “Salk serum shooters” whose most optimistic promise
is for only 60 to 90 per cent protection. This is no protection at all. The protection among the unvaccinated is far
higher than that. This means that out of every 100 who are
vaccinated with the Salk vaccine, 10 can be expected to getpolio. For the general unvaccinated population only one
person in 4,000 (in U.S.) is likely to get polio and only one
in 11,000 in England.
ARE DR. SALK’S FIGURES ON EFFECTIVENESSACCURATE?
How were the percentages of effectiveness arrived at?
An article in LIFE magazine (April 25,) stated:“Although the test had beer carried out in 44 states, the mostdependable results came from 11 in which 200,745 children
received three vaccine shots and 201,229 got dummy shots
to serve as a yardstick for the vaccine’s effectiveness. Ten
vaccinated and 68 unvaccinated children caught laboratory
confirmed cases of polio. This indicated (to them) that thevaccine was more than 80% effective.”
It is apparent that this is not in any sense a true measurement of the effectiveness of the vaccine. In the first place,if 44 states were tested why were the figures used in only 11of them. The statement that they were more dependable
no doubt, means that they were the only ones that were
not too extremely condemnatory. If only the most favorable figures are used in a test the estimate is not accurate.
In the second place, the dummy shots of colored water are
not a fair “yardstick” because injection of anything at alleven distilled water is harmful and often fatal. What was thecoloring matter that was added to the dummy shots? Was200

it carbolic acid or mercurochome or was it food coloring
which is a coal tar derivative and condemned as a poisonby the Food and Drug Administration?
There was a high percentage of polio among the children vaccinated with the colored water. Six times more polio
was caused by these dummy shots than by the vaccine. Thiscertainly cannot be accepted by any sane person as a fairtest of the effectiveness of any vaccine. The colored waterplus the Salk vaccine produced far more polio and death per
population than we have among the unvaccinated masses.
All this showed up in spite of their own “hand picked”
records in which only the favorable reports were publicized.
The Francis Report (statistics of the Salk experiment) uponwhich the effectiveness was based showed that the Salk vaccine seemed to protect against the paralytic form of polio
in only 30% of the cases—on the average. According tothat, 70% of those vaccinated could be subject to the worst
paralytic form of polio. On the other hand only one person
in 4,571 (in U.S.) gets polio without the vaccine.
It was never proved that the vaccine gave even the 30%
protection. That was merely assumed from the faulty experiments and the “manipulated” figures. For instance (Salk
Story by Bayly p14), “No case was considered as immunized
unless it had received two shots of the vaccine. This meansthat a child developing poliomyelitis after the first inoculation and before the second one would automatically beplaced in the uninoculated class,” and would not be counted
as a Salk vaccine casualty even though he died of the “shot”.
This probably accounts for the comparatively few deaths
that were reported as a result of the experiment. This would
also invalidate all the conclusions drawn from the figures.
Dr. Salk is reported to have said that “children vaccinated last year should be given booster inoculations thisyear.” If the full course of shots failed last year how can201they expect some more of the same failure mechanism to
do any better this year?
OTHER CAUSES OF POLIO
Although vaccination is one of the quickest and surest waysof getting polio because poisons are injected directly into
the unprotected blood stream, there are a number of othercauses that should not be overlooked. Some of the mostcommon of these are listed below and discussed briefly inthis section:
1—Carbohydrates: Sugar products such as ice cream, softdrinks, desserts, etc. Denatured products such as whiteflour, alcoholics, etc.
2—Cola beverages that contain drugs and sugar.
3—Poison sprays on foods, poison preservatives in foods, 		etc.
4—Operations of all kinds, especially removal of tonsils.
5—Fatigue and all other practices that deplete the vital 		energy.
6—Negative emotions that generate internal poisons.
7—Interference of any kind that impedes circulation or 		
normal functioning.
Fatigue is claimed, by the “virus fans,” to lower theenergy and let the viruses attack. Viruses have nothing to
do with the cause of polio but fatigue does in that it generates certain by-products of metabolism that can result inparalysis under certain conditions.
“According to Professor A.V. Hill, an English physiologist, the direct cause of the fatigue resulting from muscular202

effort is the accumulation of lactic acid, the source of whichis glycogen. The body stores up carbohydrates in the form of
glycogen or liver starch, which is used up during muscular
activity. The excessive accumulation of lactic acid in the
blood is the result of an insufficient intake of oxygen by thesystem. If the iron and sodium contents of the blood are
below normal, due to faulty diet, both the absorption ofoxygen and the discharge of carbonic acid are diminished,lactic acid then accumulates in the muscles; the latter subsequently stiffen and fail to function—the sign of fatigue.
“It is therefore of great importance for athletes and for
those who are subjected to muscular strain, to maintain ahigh degree of alkalinity of the blood by avoiding as muchas possible, highly acid-forming foods such as meat, eggs,
legumes, breads, fried foods etc., and by consuming anadequate supply of fruits and green-leaf vegetables. When
proper attention is paid to diet, fatigue is retarded, while
endurance is increased. The Japanese, Chinese and someof the Hindu tribes living in the Himalaya mountains, who
subsist on frugal diet and hardly eat any meat, possess mostremarkable physical stamina. These facts are worthy of careful attention, not only by athletes, but by all who want toderive much benefit from their regular exercise.” (From Vital
Facts About Foods by Otto Carque p. 22.)
A booklet on The Prevention of Infantile Paralysis published by the National Chiropractic Association discusses
the subject of fatigue as follows:“Naturally, since the body is a very delicately balanced
electro-chemical machine, a disturbance of major calibre
is set up when fatigue appears. Let us quote an authoritative pathologist. ‘There is’ he says, ‘an excess of waste
matter which accumulates in the muscles, and when this is
not quickly washed away it causes loss of motion to a degreeof complete loss of power. If this point is actually reached,203there occurs the escape from the muscles of a rich liquid
protein which results in stiffness and unusability.’“In nerve fatigue, which is brought about by substitution
in the nutritive fluids of poison for oxygen, there occurs‘a blocking of the nerve impulses from the spinal cord to
the muscles.’ The immediate effect upon the muscles under
fatigue is to produce slight swelling and rigidity, morbid
substances accumulate from which toxins (poisons) arise.
Upon the nerve the immediate effect is to cause the greatcells which preside over those pathways of action to swell—
just as does any injured part. The danger here is, however,that if this swelling is not promptly reduced and the accumulated fluid dispersed, death of the cell is assured. Such an
eventuality can only be followed by the slow shrinkage ofthe muscles served by the nerve with their final and complete
loss of power.
“It will be readily seen that in describing the process offatigue we have also described a condition very like infantile
paralysis.”
Operations, accidents and injury “cause changes in thenerve-cells supplying the part so that they are rendered lessable to resist infection” says Dr. Geffen (Medical Officer of
Health for St. Pancras, England.) He observed that persons
contracting polio after appendectomy (removal of appendix) develop paralysis of the abdominal muscles or even of
the muscles of the intestine.
Injection of diphtheria-pertussis vaccine not only localizes the paralysis of persons infected with virus but also
increases the attack-rate. There can be little doubt, therefore,that even the vaccination of children against poliomyelitis
itself may provide the very conditions which favor an attackand so increase the incidence to the first injection .... A child
who is injected three times is at risk three times; there is
replication of exposure.

204

“Persons with bulbar type of polio (an especially fataltype) give a history of removal of tonsils and adenoids more
frequently than do persons with other forms of poliomyelitis. If a person who has had tonsillectomy develops polio thelikelihood of bulbar involvement is 4 times as great as one
where the tonsils are intact.” (The Salk Story, Bayly. p. 24)
Tonsils and adenoids are part of the lymphatic glandular system of purification and when they are removed theimpurities that they normally handle are thrown back into
circulation and cause all manner of diseases. The poisoning
effects of the anesthetic and the shock of the operation
also help to reduce the vitality and over tax the alreadypoisoned body. The fact that the tonsils are enlarged andsaturated with poison does not indicate that they should
be removed; it merely indicates that the intake of poisonsshould be discontinued and the blood stream cleansed by
fasting and proper diet. Inflamed tonsils and practicallyall other abnormal conditions heal themselves when the
obstructions are removed.
Sugar is at last being recognized as a destroyer of healthrather than an article of food as was formerly believed.
Technically white sugar (C12H22O11) is classified as a drug
and not as a food. Natural sugar in fruit is in a balanced
combination with other constituents that enable it to be
assimilated without damage but when it is separated into
the white, crystalline carbon substance called sugar it is converted into alcohol almost immediately after it is taken into
the body and does the same damage that alcohol does. It
dehydrates the cells and leeches the calcium from the nerves,muscles, bones, teeth and all tissues that are supplied withcalcium and other alkaline elements. A serious calcium
deficiency is a forerunner of polio. This deficiency cannot
be adequately balanced by taking calcium tablets or bonemeal but must have the proper balance of other minerals

205and life elements necessary to enable it to assimilate in the
body. Certain green vegetables contain the calcium in properbalance. Some of these will be listed under the topic heading
Who can cure polio?
Dr. Benjamin P. Sandler, of North Carolina called attention to the relationship between polio and the excessive useof sugar and refined starches such as white flour products
and processed corn meal. He compiled records showing thatin the countries such as United States, Britain, Australia,
Canada and Sweden which have an extremely high per capita consumption of sugar (around 108 pounds per person)
there is also a high incidence of polio. On the other hand,polio is practically unknown in China with its sugar consumption of only 3 pounds per person per year.
The summer months are the months of the highest sugar
intake in the form of ice cream, bottled drinks, candy, desserts etc., and it is no coincidence that it is also the time
when polio is at its height.
During one of North Carolina’s worst polio epidemics(1948) Dr. Sandler publicized a diet program to control thedisease. Polio had increased so rapidly all summer that by
October there were 2,403 cases in that state. All the usual
medical methods had failed and the hopelessness of thisterrifying epidemic shocked the people into a willingness tolisten to something as unorthodox as diet to control disease.
Dr. Sandier warned the people against all sugar products
such as ice cream, cola drinks, all fountain drinks, and manyother popular but harmful foods. The people were advised to
eat vegetables, especially greens, ripe natural fruits, (unsweetened) whole grains and plain, wholesome food.
The ice cream sales dropped off to such an extent that“one producer shipped one million less gallons of ice creamduring the first week following the diet story release.” Within
72 hours polio had declined considerably and the epidemic

206

was brought under control. By the next year the polio incidence of that state had dropped 90%.
POISONS IN COLA DRINKS(1) “Cola is loaded with habit-forming caffeine so that oncethe victim gets accustomed to the stimulant, he cannot very
well get along without it.” says Dr. Royal Lee, of the Lee
Foundation for Nutritional Research. “There is only one
reason for putting caffeine in a soft drink—to make it habit
forming. Dr. H. W. Wiley (former director of the Food andDrug Administration) was right when he said it was against
any food law to add it to a drink.” Dr. Wiley was fired when
he exposed the racketeers. Other men were hired who yieldedto the pressure. In some states it is against the law to sella product of that kind and Wisconsin is one of them. The
labeling law requires most manufacturers to list on the label
all the ingredients (especially poison drugs) but the Cola
companies get around this law and list nothing on the label.
Cola is not a food but a poison, and yet it is advertised as adrink suitable for children.
A bottle of Cola contains about as much caffeine as astrong cup of coffee. Caffeine is not only a habit forming
drug but it is destructive to the tissues of the stomach, eyes,
nerves and kidneys. In fact there is not a part of the bodythat is not injured by this drug. It makes the children (andall who drink it) nervous, irritable and high strung and leads
to a desire for stronger drink later on.
(2) Cola drinks contain as much as 10% sugar which is
9 times more than the body can metabolize.
(3) Colas contain artificial coloring and flavoring matter. These coal tar products are harmful drugs and have noplace in the diet.
(4) The most damaging ingredient in cola drinks is the
Phosphoric acid. This acid is a destroyer of the vital calcium

207

supply in the body and even dissolves the enamel on theteeth. Phosphoric acid is made by treating phosphate rockwith sulphuric acid.
The corrosive effect of colas on the teeth was noticed
more than 12 years ago and experiments to prove this were
begun during World War II at the Naval Research Instituteand later were continued at Cornell University under a grantfrom the Office of Naval Research. Professor Clive McCayof Cornell made this report:“At the Naval Research Institute we put human teeth
in cola beverage and found that they softened and started
to dissolve within a short period. They be-came soft within
two days.
“In the intervening years, 1943–1950, we made numerous studies of the effect of these cola beverages upon theteeth of rats, dogs and monkeys. We have published data
indicating that the molar teeth of rats are dissolved down
to the gum line if the rats are well fed but given nothing
to drink except cola beverage for a period of 6 months.”(Journal of Nutrition, 1949 Vol. 39, p. 313)
“McClure and Restarski report the decalcifying effectsof acid soft drinks (such as cola drinks), rendering the tooth
surface more susceptible to bacterial attack. They pointout that enamel is most readily soluble in phosphoric acid(in cola drinks) exceeded only by solubility in nitric acid.
Restarski reports a popular cola drink to contain 0.055 percent by weight phosphoric acid and to have a pH of 2.6.
This is considerably more than 100 times more acid thanwill decalcify enamel under normal mouth conditions.”(From an article by Dr. Allison James, published by The
Lee Foundation for Nutritional Research—No. 42)“Phosphoric acid will break down the body lecithin,cause brain fog, neurasthenia, nerve breakdown, physical apathy, mental irregularities; anemia, polycythemia,

208acidosis, renal (kidney) lesions, rickets, faulty calcification,a marked shift in the bone structure, unsuccessful reproduction, tetany and prevents the normal increase in sizeof growing children. It will inhibit all basic alkaline salts
in their normal functions. It will attack the teeth and all
bony tissue.
“Polio blood is low in calcium and invariably low iniron .... The free phosphoric acid in Cola could tie up iron,calcium, manganese and probably all the respiratory metals.
When they can no longer function in the action of enzymes,
cells cannot generate or regenerate and this results in decomposition of body proteins that manifests itself in POLIO.
Phosphoric acid slowly kills the life principle.” (Duon
Miller—Polio Prevention, Inc.)POLIO AND PREGNANCY
From Polio Prevention, Inc., we get this data: “Miscarriages
are 600% and premature births 400% more common amongpoorly fed mothers.” This same nutritional deficiency also
causes suffering at childbirth, menopause, and the monthly
periods. Normal, healthy women do not suffer at these times.
Under our present faulty health (?) education system thenormal person is the exception rather than the rule. In her
remarkable book Tokology Dr. Alice B. Stockham describes
a simple diet and health regimen that enables the mothers tohave quick and painless childbirths without drugs, hypnosis
or hospitalization.
According to a survey made by the state college ofPennsylvania, malnutrition hits 999 persons out of 1,000.
This indicates that a drastic change is needed in our healthtraining and national leadership.
The development of an unborn child requires an abundance of mineral elements, especially calcium, that must be
drawn from the mother’s body to form j the bony structure209and entire body of the infant. A healthy woman has a surplus of these vital elements which nature draws upon at suchtimes. But when the mother is depleted and has no surplus
building material, the new life forming, must draw theseminerals from her nerves, muscles, glands bones, blood andwherever the vital substance can be found. This extra drainon her body reserves may leave her muscles, nerves and vital
centers too impaired for normal functioning and polio may
be the result. If she is unfortunate enough to be taken to
the hospital and given the drugs, iron lung and devitalizing
hospital diet she may be crippled for life but if she stayshome and lives a healthful life the deficiency may, in time
be normalized and recovery can take place.
The very foods that cause acidosis (the forerunner ofpolio) are served in the hospitals to the polio patients.
SUICIDE DIETSERVED TO HOSPITAL PATIENTSThe following diet of devitalized, disease producing foods istypical of what is being served to the patients in the medical
hospitals. This was actually taken from the menu of a Polio
Ward. It is no wonder that so many die or fail to recover.
Breakfast
Pint of pasteurized milk (which is putrefactive and deficient in calcium.)
Canned orange juice (extract with white sugar and water
added.)
Dry cereal (processed chaff with all the vital elements
removed and poison preservatives added.
White sugar and cream on cereal (sugar is a drug—slow
alcohol.)210

White bread and butter (Actual experiments on “death
penalty” criminals showed that 30 days on white bread
and water killed more men than 30 days on water alone.
In fact, none died on water.)
Coffee served to older patients, cocoa to children. Bothcoffee and cocoa contain harmful alkaloids, caffeine,
theobromine, tannin, theme, etc.
Coffee cake—made with white flour, white sugar, indigestible shortening, poison dough conditioners, salt, etc.
Visiting Hours
Parents and friends came and brought ice cream andcandy which the patients were permitted to eat.
Noon Lunch
This was even worse.
Meat (fried chicken in this case. All fried foods are difficult to digest and all meats including fish and chickens arehighly acid forming.)
Gravy—greasy, pasty and acid forming.
Mashed potatoes—Peeled, boiled potatoes have lost theirvaluable minerals. What remains is acid forming starch.
Beets in vinegar. Vinegar is an irritating acid, a denatured
product that interferes with digestion.
White rolls—same as white bread.
More coffee—white sugar and cream.

211

Dinner
Meat—An active person can metabolize only one and ahalf ounces of protein a day. Inactive patients are further
poisoned by extra protein.
White rice—Polished rice is stripped of its outer coatingsof mineral elements and vitamins that help to balance thestarch in the center. This processing makes the rice acidforming and devitalizing.
Ice cream—This is one of the guilty offenders in causing
polio, because of the high sugar content and preservatives, fillers, artificial flavoring and coloring, etc.
Coffee or milk again. Patients were forced to eat when not
hungry.
This diet looks like a conspiracy to keep the patients sickfor the added business it brings the doctors.
According to a survey made in 1946 regarding the percentage of polio recoveries under the various methods ofhealing we have this interesting report:
91 % to 100% recover under certain Chiropractic treatment—(not all chiropractors understand this method)
97% to 100% recover under correct Hygienic treatment.
72% under Nurse Kenny treatment.
35% recover with no professional care.
17% under medical care.

212

ARE PHYSICIANSON THE “COLA” PAY ROLL?
Some doctors are actually advising their pregnant patients
to drink several bottles of cola each day for nausea. Duon
Miller, founder of Polio Prevention Inc. met one of these
medically misinformed women and he told her about theharmful effects of cola drinks and other such drinks but the
woman said, “You are no doubt right, but my doctor has
advised me to drink it so I’m going to follow the doctor.”
Cola makes “drug addicts” of its customers so she probably
couldn’t quit anyway.
She continued her poison diet and when her baby wasborn it was malformed without any complete fingers or toes.
The poisons in the cola had robbed it of the necessary minerals to build a normal body. It will have to go through life
as a helpless cripple, dependent on the public as thousandsof others have to do because certain physicians and manufacturers want to make money.
“Any doctor who will suggest to a pregnant woman thatshe drink “cola” or suggest that a child of any age drink“colas” should be disbarred by the Medical Association andgiven the rest of his life to realize that the letters “M.D.” after
his name actually mean “Mentally Deficient.” (Duon Miller)‘Doctors from the University of Pennsylvania Medical
School undertook a study of the prenatal diets of mothers
who had given birth to 45 children so malformed that 90%
were born dead or died within a year after birth. The diets ofthese women were found to have been deficient in practicallyevery nutrient.” (From Lets Have Healthy Children—Adelle
Davis. p. 18-19)
Dr. Joseph C. Risser, in a broadcast on the subject ofnutrition and healthy bones stated:“Delay in development of fragmentation of bone
growing centers, porous or soft bone, are commonly seen213

in X-ray of recent Polio patients. These X-ray evidences,having appeared long before the attack of polio, strongly
indicate that in the polio patient there was a pre-existingstate of malnutrition.”
SIMILARITY OF POLIO TO PELLAGRA,BERIBERI AND OTHER DEFICIENCY DISEASES
Ralf R. Scobey, M.D., president of the Poliomyelitis
Research Institute. Inc. Syracuse, New York (in the Archivesof Pediatrics, Sept. 1950) lists 170 diseases of polio-like
symptoms and effects but with different names such as:
epidemic cholera, cholera morbus, spinal meningitis, spinal apoplexy, inhibitory palsy, intermittent fever, famine
fever, worm fever, bilious remittent fever, ergotism, etc.
There are also such common nutritional deficiency diseases
as beriberi, scurvy, Asiatic plague, pellagra, prison edema,
acidosis etc. No drugs, medicines or medical treatments
have ever been able to cure any of these diseases and no
germs have been isolated as the cause. But they all respondto fasting, cleansing, proper diet and improved circulation.
The similarity of these diseases to polio is too obvious togo unnoticed. They are, in reality, all one disease with varying stages of intensity and different names. It is ridiculous
to assume that polio is caused by a virus and the rest ofthem are caused by nutritional deficiency. Dr. Scobey senses
this fact when he states: “Inasmuch as nerve cells react inmuch the same way to various poisons, further research willprobably show that in these cases polio micro-organisms
are not always present, but intoxication (poisoning) may be
produced through faulty metabolism or by the absorptionof poisons from without.”
There are literally thousands of cases in which beriberi,
scurvy, polio, pellagra, etc. have developed among arctic
explorers, sailors, construction gangs, prisons and every214other group where the people try to live on an unbalanced
diet of starch, protein, coffee and devitalized, processed
foods. Alfred McCann describes many of these (poison
squads) in his book The Science of Eating. In the caseof the German crew on the “Kronprinz Willem” when
the ship’s hospital was filled with helpless sailors andmore were dropping on the deck each day the German
and American doctors exhausted all their skill (such as itwas) but the condition grew steadily worse. The men had
polio but all the doctors had a different name for it. They
thought the disease was contagious and the ship lay inquarantine in an American harbor. When all the medical
methods had utterly failed, Mr. McCann went aboard andgave the captain a simple diet which was followed out andit brought about recovery of most of the patients within
10 days. The rest of them were well in record time. Not a
man was lost. On the other hand, when the workmen on
the South American railroad began collapsing with thesame deficiency disease, the doctors failed (as usual) andthere was no “health” man to give them a diet so 4,000 ofthem died. Viruses, germs or bacteria did not cause these
epidemics. The men were stricken with acidosis from malnutrition. They suffocated in their own internal poisons.
They had the fever, the swelling, the sore throat, the lackof coordination of muscles and finally paralysis the sameas our present polio patients.
When will our blundering physicians ever learn to profit
by the experiences of the past instead of torturing animals
and experimenting on and killing people in a effort to learnsomething that is already known?
COMMON POISONS THAT CAUSE POLIO
In addition to the drastic vaccine poisons and the self generated poisons from wrong foods there are a number of215other poisons that are being freely used that are known tocause polio.
Insecticides such as lead arsenate, hydrocyanic gas
and other cyanide compounds, DDT, parathion andother deadly poisons are a constant cause of death anddisease. Dr. Abraham Gelperin, director of the Bureau ofCommunicable Diseases and assistant Clinical Professor or
Public Health at Yale University, stated flatly that he believes
many ills to be the result of these poison insecticides, andthat large numbers of what are believed to be polio are in
reality cases of poisoning, possibly caused by something
like parathion.
Dr. J. W. Norton of the N. C. Department of Healthsaid the “symptoms of parathion poisoning are similar to
those of polio, including headache, gastric upset, giddiness,tightness of the chest, vomiting and sometimes diarrhea.
“One of the manufacturers of the widely used insecticideparathion describes it as ‘capable of producing severe systemic toxic effects and death in animals and man either byoral administration, inhalation of mists, dusts, or vapors andby absorption through the unbroken skin.” (Prevention—
June, 1950. p. 12)
What are our elected officers and public protectors doing
while all this wholesale poisoning is going on? Are the overwealthy manufacturers the only ones to be “protected” intheir game of “grab and stab”?
Formaldehyde in milk has been reported as a cause ofpolio.
Australian Medical Gazette, (Aug. 24, 1897) states that“formalin,” an aqueous solution of formaldehyde, caused
paralysis in some who drank milk that contained it. Our
U.S. Government permits the dairymen to add formaldehyde to milk so that stale, inferior milk may be sold as freshmilk. Formaldehyde is a poisonous embalming fluid that is,216

no doubt, one of the causes of the epidemics of diarrhea
and death among the bottle fed infants in hospitals.
The Lancet (Jan. 9, 1915) mentions an epidemic ofpolio that was said to have been caused by raw milk. It has
never been. proved that raw milk has ever caused polio or
undulant fever or any other disease but the added poisonpreservatives could cause many diseases. Pasteurizationcompanies capitalized on this incident to stampede somelaws into operation which would prohibit the sale of raw(unprocessed) milk. Pasteurization makes matters evenworse because the heating process melts the butterfat in themilk and this coats the calcium globules and renders thecalcium unassimilable to a large extent.
From the Journal of Biochemistry, (Vol. 75, pp. 251-62.
Oct., 1927) we read: “In the Nutrition Laboratory of theDept. of Home Economics of the University of Chicago,in 1927, experimentation revealed that only about 27% of
the calcium in pasteurized milk and 30% of evaporated milk
was retained in the body.”
Rats fed on pasteurized milk grew at only half the normal rate and developed various ailments and died early.
Calves fed on pasteurized milk died before maturity in 9
out of 10 cases.
Dr. Royal Lee of the Lee Foundation of Nutritional
Research, Milwaukee, stated:“I offer the sum of $1,000 to anyone who can offer evidence acceptable to the average jury that pasteurization has
not affected the nutritional values of milk to the extent that
it is incapable of maintaining the tooth and bone structuresof the test animals.”
The Salk vaccine also has formaldehyde added to thepoison decomposed protein from which the vaccine was
made, which adds to its toxicity.
Mercury, which is freely used in the practice of medicine,217especially in the treatment of venereal diseases, is reported tohave caused many cases of polio. “Gonorrhea the crippler”
is an advertising “scare head” term that is used to terrorize“suspects” into the treatment offices. The crippling is usually
done by the treatment and not the disease itself. On a simple
fasting and correct diet program the disease heals the sameas other conditions, when not interfered with by suppressive
medical measures.
Solanin, a poison that is formed in frozen potatoes wasfound to be the cause of an epidemic in Ireland. The disease
had polio-like reactions but was called remittent fever. Old,sprouting potatoes and those that have been exposed to thesun in the growing period until the skin was green were also
found to contain this toxic substance.
Unripe fruit and ergot from some types of rye havecaused gastrointestinal disturbances which affected thenerves, spinal cord and brain and caused a form of polio.
A diet excessively high in grains (especially milled grains)
has been followed by deficiencies that terminated in polio
as was reported by Stockman and Johnson in the Journalof Nutrition, (Nov., 1934).
Negative emotions such as fear, anger, hatred, jealousy,
anxiety etc. release adrenaline or generate other poisonsthat irritate the nerves or impede circulation and poison thecells just the same as injected poisons. The fear of polio or
any other disease can help to develop it. On the other handa clean body and happy state of mind can help immunize
against it.
FOUR POISONS IN WHITE BREAD
In the very early days when bread was made from freshly
ground whole grains it could rightly be called the staff of life
because it could sustain life. But our present day commercialized bread is stripped of its vital life elements when the218heart, the germ and the outer coatings with all the valuable
minerals are removed in the milling and processing of theflour. In addition to this devitalizing step, four poisons areadded to make a defective product salable,(1) Agene a bleach as poisonous as Clorox or any
other wash-day chlorine bleach is added to flour to make it
whiter—as if that matters. Dr. Scobey’s research department
states that “It has recently been discovered that white bread,which has been treated with the bleaching agent nitrogen trichloride, (agene) produces in dogs epilepsy identical with thehuman disease .... The disease in dogs has been described in
the past as ‘canine hysteria,’ (rabies) ‘running fits,’ or ‘frightdisease’ and it was attributed by some scientists to an infectious agent, possibly a virus.” The poisoning is obvious andyet they try to blame the condition onto a virus.
(2) Poison insecticides are added to keep the bugs out.
The bugs are the lesser of the two evils—they are not poisonand they are large enough to be seen and can be avoided but
the poison is invisible. This poison in bread has been found tocause paralysis of the hind legs in experimental dogs. Because
whole wheat flour is more nourishing and therefore more
attractive to insects, about four times as much of the insecticide is added to this flour. Most of the Health Food Stores
carry unprocessed flour and bread. If “safe” bread is notavailable people should grind their own flour or avoid bread.
(3) Alum and other harmful dough conditioners areadded to baker’s bread.
(4) When the natural vitamin B is removed from the flour
and the synthetic vitamin B is added, the advertiser’s claim it
is “enriched” with vitamin B; but it is actually poisoned bythis coal tar product that is not a true vitamin. In Canada
it is a prison offense for a miller or a baker to add synthetic
vitamin B to any product intended to be used for food.

THE HIGH INCIDENCE OF POLIOAMONG OUR SOLDIERS
According to the report of the Surgeon General, “In1945 there were 246 cases of polio with 52 deaths among
American Troops in the Philippines.” This is just a small
representation of the overall picture of polio throughout
our entire armed forces. They did not have any indication ofpolio when they were inducted and they went to areas where
there was no polio so it cannot be blamed on contagion orviruses or any of the usual excuses. Polio is a man-made disease. The soldiers were first poisoned with all the vaccinesinvented by modern medical voodooism. Then they had freecigarettes, with their 18 poisons, pressed upon them andplenty of beer, cola, candy, devitalized processed foods, ice
cream, drugs and everything that destroys health. An article
in Prevention magazine, June, 1951 says:“All during the war, as soon as local combat conditions
permitted, ice cream, soft drinks, candies, etc. became
available to American troops. Ice cream manufacturing
equipment followed soon after combat equipment. I saw
American troops consume great quantities of candy bars
when they lost their appetites for the army diet.” As a result,polio, insanity and all the diseases known to man developed
among the soldiers more rapidly than among the 4Fs who
were too defective to go to war.
FAILURE MECHANISMS
IN THE POLIO BUSINESS
Although the real cause and cure of polio is obvious, thepromoters of polio find it more profitable to “look” for a curethan to “find” it. The March of Dimes millions would cease
to flow into their pockets if they ever were to find the cure.
Therefore, they keep up the pretense of looking—but always
in a direction where they are sure not to find the answer.

220

(1) At first they tried the polio serum and when theyfound it killed the people but did not stop polio they tried
something else just as far away from the solution as they
could get.
(2) They sprayed towns, crops and orchards with deadly
poison DDT insecticide, suggesting that polio might becaused by flies. The chemical companies reaped the benefits but the orchards were seriously damaged, crops wereruined and people were killed by this wild and unwarranted
experiment. An article on polio in “Your Health” magazine(1954, Fall Quarter, p. 69) comments on the fly situation bysaying that in “Iceland where there are no flies . . there havebeen polio epidemics. Experiments on eliminating flies byspraying whole communities with DDT have not had any
effect in combating epidemics.”
The American Weekly—(1945) in an article titled, Warfrom the Air on Infantile Paralysis states that “if the city-wide
experiment with polio proves that flies carry the disease ...
the city officials are likely to agitate for ... spraying of DDTfrom the air .... This step might eliminate flies ... but at thesame time it would kill bees and butterflies, and many crops
might fail because of lack of pollination .... The important
thing now is to find out whether polio flies in with the fly.”
But they did not bother to wait for this proof. They didn’t
consult the people as to whether they were willing to be
subjected to this mass poisoning; they just moved in with
their full scale poisoning of the air, earth and vegetation.
Gamma Globulin was the next hoax to be foisted on theever trusting public. United Press (Sept. 20, 1953) reported:“Efforts to control polio, complete failure, according to theUnited Nations World Health Organization Committee,
which condemned mass use of Gamma Globulin or any
large scale intra-muscular injections.”
Polio Prevention Inc. states: “The United States Army221

does not use Gamma Globulin and has discontinued the useof blood plasma because of damage to the liver.”An article in Herald of Health magazine (April, 1955)
says:“Two years ago the Country was all stirred up about thepossibilities of Gamma Globulin. This Gamma Globulin
was a derivative of the great stores of diseased human bloodplasma which was bursting the seams of the various bloodbanks.
“The doctors of the army, navy and marine corps had
refused absolutely to ‘shoot’ this putrid plasma into thebodies of wounded service men. They declared it was ‘toodisease-ridden’ to use on our heroes in uniform but suchcharacterization of the ‘filthy stuff’ did not deter medicalmen, from proclaiming it entirely suitable to go into theclean blood streams of the little children.”
The Los Angeles County Health Index (for the week
ending May 23, 1953) states: (a) Evidence indicates that
gamma globulin does not prevent paralysis from occurringin all cases. (b) There is evidence that it is of no value inthe treatment of poliomyelitis after symptoms have beenrecognized. (c) The partial protection afforded by gamma
globulin is only temporary lasting only five to six weeks.”
For a Public Health Department that is over-ridden by
the medical trust, to make these concessions indicates thatthe situation was much worse than that. There was no protection at all and no benefit but it was used because it wasa salable commodity.
In Key West, Florida when a few of the people learnedof the plan to poison the city with this self-condemned product they started a protest and circularized literature giving
the facts about it. But the promoters of gamma globulin
induced the City Manager and the Police Dept. to arrest
anyone protesting or handing out literature unfavorable to222their serum. Miami Herald, Miami, Florida (Sept. 30, 1953)
reported:“Dr. Carl Bernet, of United States Public Health Service
says: ‘Gamma Globulin is not a cure or preventive of polio.
Key West is getting the Gamma Globulin because there isan extra supply’.” Is this a land of liberty or just a page outof the Dark Ages?
Curare, which is arrow poison used by the Indians of
the Amazon is used on polio patients. A doctor in the Los
Angeles Health Department told me that this drug does notdecrease the pain of the polio patients but it makes them
unable to move or scream and they experiment on themthen. Many of the patients die under the intense pain of
this torture treatment.
The precautions that the polio foundation give to the
public have no effect at all on controlling polio. What good
does it do to warn people to (1) wash their hands, (2) stayout of swimming pools, (3) stay away from polio patients, (4)call a doctor when symptoms appear etc. when the disease
is not caused by viruses but is caused by body poisoning?
Why call a doctor who admits he does not know the cause
or the cure? All these misleading instructions stand in theway of healing.
The Salk vaccine is just another failure mechanism
because it, too, is wandering blindly in the wrong direction
and is spreading disease rather than curtailing it and is killing rather than curing.
THE GROWING SKEPTICISM
OF THE SALK VACCINE
Many doctors, and public authorities as well as individual
laymen are not only questioning the safety of the Salk vaccine but are denouncing it. Even the Journal of the American
Medical Association in a recent (1956) Report on Rate of223

Use of Poliomyelitis Vaccine expresses concern about the
dropping off of sales of this product in the “announcementby the Public Health Service that states are not using theirvaccine supplies at the rate the serum is being released.
Approximately 45% of the 7,000,000 cc had been used.... Dr. Scheele asked all concerned to use supplies as rapidly
as possible ....” He said, “This is the ideal time for vaccinations. The safety and effectiveness of the vaccine are wellestablished.”
Imagine, a public officer making a statement like thatafter all the deaths caused by the blood poisoning vaccine.
By saying that “this is the ideal time for vaccinations” heprobably means that they better get their multi-billion dollar
supply of vaccine sold before all the people wake up. Mostof them are still iii the hypnotic stupor of the high pressureadvertising of the past year and a half.
Efficiency of the Salk serum questioned is the title of aheadline in a Chicago newspaper. Excerpts are as follows:“Chicago, Nov. 11 (AP)—doctor said today that not all public health physicians are certain that the Salk polio vaccine
program is on a ‘solid and secure scientific footing.”“Dr. Herbert Ratner, health commissioner of suburban Oak Park and editor of the Bulletin of the American
Association of Public Health Physicians, asserted that public statements have mostly favored the Salk program ‘to the
exclusion of unfavorable items.’“He listed these items, among others:“‘1—English Authorities in July, 1955, canceled the Salk
vaccine programs as too dangerous.
“‘2—All European countries, with the exception of
Denmark, have discontinued their programs. Even
Denmark is reported to have found live virus in the Salk
Vaccine.

224

“‘3—Canada decided, as of July 29, 1955, to postpone its
vaccination program until the early part of 1956, to takeadvantage of the expected advances in the developmentof safe and effective poliomyelitis vaccine.” (Since there isno such safe vaccine, what they are really waiting for is tosee what is going to happen to the millions of American
children who have been brutally sacrificed to the “moneymad” vaccine experiment. None of these other countries
want to waste their children on such risky and haphazard
experiments.)“‘4—Two Nobel Prize winners, Dr. John Enders and Dr.
Wendell M. Stanley, both have publicly indicated theiruncertainties about the Salk vaccine.
“‘5—The Polio Advisory Committee and health officials
of at least one state, Massachusetts, have advised against
public inoculations and have withheld approval of the useof the vaccine until at least Jan. 1, 1956.
“‘6—One of the two major pharmaceutical houses connected with the production of Salk Vaccine since the 1954
field trials has recently found it necessary to withdraw
their product from the market’.”Why pick on just one drug company; they are all guilty.
In Drew Pearson’s Washington Merry-Go-Round the writerstates: “Other drug companies, with the exception of Park
Davis, have not experienced so many seizures (by the Foodand Drug administration, for violation of law). Park Davishas had nine civil suits, Eli Lilly two, Pitman Moore two,
Wyatt three, Sharp and Dohme four, Cutter nine.” He also
tells us that “The Public Health Service which is testing andlicensing the Salk Vaccine has not had time to test it, but
has accepted the written reports of the drug companies.” In225

a life and death matter such as this with millions of people
involved and future generations threatened by disease andimpairment from vaccine poisoning, why haven’t our paid
public officials had time to test the vaccine? Can the manufacturers who are in the business for profit be expected
to tell the truth about the product—when the truth would
condemn them?
Salk shots open new drug market is the front page headline
in an independent newspaper (The American Rally—April
1955) In the opening paragraphs we read:“Ann Arbor—With the pomp of a Presidential inauguration and the ballyhoo of a Hollywood premiere, the big
drug houses have unleashed upon the public their infamous
campaign in behalf of the Salk vaccine. Using the generalanxiety concerning polio, this conspiracy now aims to inject
this dubious serum into the bloodstream of every child in
the United States.
“Thus, a new major industry has been activated.
Estimated to gross over 5 billion dollars in its first year ofwholesale operation, combining the revenue of the Chemical
Trust and doctor fees and advertising, this new development
will make Dr. Jonas Salk, its promoter, the Henry Ford of
the mass production needle-pushing racket.
“The American Rally warns against the mass inoculations being planned. It is felt by many authorities that
this Salk campaign is a run-away experiment in totalitarian‘health’ (?) powers which will bring disaster to the children
involved. No objective standards were employed in determining either the safety or the efficiency of the serum.
“The Salk experiment is based on false premises andrefuses to deal with original causes of polio. From the basisof a fictitious ‘virus’ the vaccinators are using other poisonsover which they have little control. In their mad scramble
to launch a new money-making empire, it appears they are226

willing to ‘guinea pig’ America to death.
“American Rally proposes an open-forum, impartial,
qualified and independent authority which can sit in judgment over such propositions. The Nation desperately requires
a Hall of Science separate from both government and commercial monopoly, which can protect the public interest.”
This is a very good idea but I wonder how long we could
keep it free from politics and the money trusts.
Morris A. Bealle, in his book of startling facts titled The
Drug Story tells us that “disease is more rampant becauseof commercial greed. When the Rockefeller-Standard Oil
crowd muscled into the drug and pharmaceutical business insuch a big way, ‘scientific medicine’ (if there is such a thing)
was turned into a racket which shortened many American
lives from ten to twenty years.
The $446,837,527 subsidy parceled out to medical colleges by the Rockefeller Foundation to mis-educate medics
into the excessive use of drugs, vaccination and immunization which are making invalids of millions. It tells of
the $10,000,000,000 traffic in death and disease .... One
pharmaceutical house’s profit of 635 per cent on its assets
in one year ... panhandling rackets in cancer control andallied frauds ... appointments by Rockefeller Center of all
key personnel in Government health set-ups ... government
gangsters in the Food and Drug Administration, Post Office,Army, Navy and Public Health Offices etc. ... dangerous
doses ... protected shakedown ... and the Drug Chamberof Commerce.” Truth Teller Magazine.
In spite of the medical domination that prevented thenewspapers and radios from advertising his book, its popularity spread so fast among the people who were starved
for truth that within six months six large printings had to bemade and it is still a big seller among health minded people.

227

DOCTORS SQUABBLE
FOR THE “LION’S SHARE”
When President Eisenhower took it upon himself to filch$30,000,000 from the deceived taxpayers in order to help
force more poison vaccine into the resisting children, theAmerican Medical Association, with its machinery geared tomoney making, raised its loud voice in opposition, because
it was not getting all the fees. The Bulletin of the National
Health Federation (March, 1956) stated:
The A.M.A., however, recently attacked the publichealth officials as ‘violating the principles of free enterprise in medicine.’ The House of Delegates of the A.M.A.
is demanding that all free inoculations stop and that the task
be turned over to the doctors on a fee basis..
This gives us an idea of what American Free Enterprisemeans. It merely means that the trusts are tree to exploit
the people and if someone else wants to do the same—thefight is on.
If someone wants to stop the exploitation and warn
the people, the money trusts in power “squelch” them—if
they can.
In 1946, during one of our most serious polio epidemics
in Los Angeles, I wrote a book called Polio Control in which
I denounced the “virus theory” and named vaccination as
one of the causes of polio. The medico—drug trusts had
their stooges working for two years trying to get somethinglegal on which to put the book out of circulation. I had hada lawyer go over the manuscript before I had it printed andI had the Post Office examine the printed book to be sure it
was in order and nothing was said that was against the law.
The lawyer said, “The book is dynamite but it’s well documented and entirely within the law.” When the “medical
opposition” couldn’t get anything on me lawfully they usedunlawful measures and had their stooges in the Post Office228

bar the book from the mails. No jury trial was permitted
and no testimony of mine was accepted. Their charge wasthat the “book was dangerous because it disagreed withaccepted medical belief.” So the book went out of circulation, but not before two editions had been sold to all partsof the world—mostly to drugless doctors.
The medical trust, through their hirelings in the Better
Business Bureau, had not let the newspapers sell me evenone inch of advertising space for fear the people would learn
the truth. One of the large newspapers in Los Angeles said
to me, “We think you have a good book but our hands aretied; if you can get the OK of Mr. Sample of the Better
Business Bureau we can take your ad.” When I talked to
Mr. Sample and “downed” all his arguments with proof ofthe damage done by vaccination and all the case histories ofpolio from vaccination etc. he merely said, “If you’re rightthen a lot of other people are awfully wrong.” But he stillrefused to allow the papers to advertise my book.
The years went by and many doctors in various partsof the world, England, Australia, France, United States,etc. learned that viruses did not cause polio and that thedisease occurred in patients soon after vaccination, and in
the limb in which the injection had been given. Many lives
would have been saved if my book could have reached thepeople. But selfish medical interests destroyed it because
of information that has since then been proven to be true.
It’s hard to say what they will try to do to this book. But
whatever they attempt is likely to boomerang and exploderight under their plot.
WHAT HAPPENSTO THE “MARCH OF DIMES”?
In a letter from R. N. Newcomb to LIFE magazine (Aug.
1949) the question was asked: “Did it ever occur to you

229that if the real answer to polio is established it means theend for a racket that has annually, for many years, reapedtens of millions of dollars from the public by means of sob
propaganda. It also would, in large degree, dry up the yearly
freshet of hundreds of millions paid in medical and associated fees by the families of those afflicted. If you believe thatthe real answer to polio is honestly being sought and would
be available to the world when found, then you would also
believe that General Motors would back research to makethe use of automobiles prohibited.”
Since 1938 the March of Dimes has reaped over
$300,000,000. What have they done with it? Polio has notbeen checked; it has increased. Polio “ patients in the hospitals, supposedly using some of the March of Dimes money
have died in larger numbers than those who stay home andhave no special care. Those who recover in the hospital arein about the same proportion as those who do not go to thehospitals. Who gets this public donation? The April 1952
issue of Expose gives us a hint in this statement:“The public will never know what proportion of theirdollars went for fund raising and administration. Unlike allother leading non-profit organizations, the Foundation for
Infantile Paralysis has refused to make these facts available
to the public.
“It is estimated that $15,000,000 a year (a very conservative estimate) are poured down the drain called ‘General
Administration Expenses’.
“If you contributed your dimes and dollars, a large partof your contribution went to pay somebody who sits behinda desk and gets a large salary to figure out new ways to get
more contributions from you the next time.
“Every man, woman and child in the United States ismarked for a specific per capita contribution. This is wrung
from you with gimmicks ranging from March of Dimes

230

cards to Iron Lung collectors, metal lapel tabs, house tohouse, office to office, school and motion picture collections.
“There are special tear jerking posters available to all
magazines and newspapers. Also movie shorts with a popular star making a pitiful plea for hand-outs. Radio andTV shows are punctuated with money grabbing skits andslogans.
“Philanthropy has now become one of the 10 big industries in the U.S.
“In 1918 the National Information Bureau was established to provide information and advice on philanthropic
groups. This Bureau is a non-profit organization. It has
investigated more than 4,000 national organizations during
the past 33 years. The bureau has standards against which
all charities are measured. All reports are confidential.
“Most collection groups meet all the standards of the
Bureau.
“The National Foundation for Infantile Paralysis, Inc.,
does not .... It does not issue a complete audit of income,expenditures and assets.
“In recent years, an attempt has been made to establish asystem by which funds necessary to support health services
could be secured in a single joint campaign. It would savemillions of dollars that now go into the pockets of professional fund-raisers and never get near the purpose they
are contributed for. Every other major group in the UnitedStates has expressed a willingness to join such a federated
drive—with the single exception of the March of Dimes.”
It seems some branches of the government were getting suspicious of the pretended search for a cure for polio
carried on at such expense by the National Foundation for
Infantile Paralysis, so it was suggested that the government
conduct some research in this direction.
On this phase of the subject, Expose reports:

231

“In 1948 the Foundation for Infantile Paralysis told aCongressional Committee that ‘there is no need for the government to conduct research at this time in polio.’“When asked to explain this strange attitude, Foundation
officials stated frankly: “When the Government takes overan activity ... contributions fall off‚ .... We do not wish totake that gamble!”
The Science News Letter tells us that “some 200 scientists are researching upon phases of polio and 510 projects
in 91 institutions have been under way in the 16 years of
this great polio campaign.”
Over $300,000,000 have been spent already and$50,000,000 per year more are being collected and spent
with not one dime being used for research on fasting andproper nutrition and the only other things that can preventand cure polio.
WHO CAN CURE POLIO?
After the announcement from Philadelphia (1934) that Dr.
John A. Kolmer had discovered a “protective (?) vaccine”
against infantile paralysis, Dr. W. Lloyd Aycock, directorof the Harvard Infantile Paralysis Commission and called“one of the most distinguished experts in this disease”, gavea statement to the press that “Nature does a better job of
immunizing against infantile paralysis than the artificial
methods” which he branded as “Hazardous.”
If we remove the obstructions and supply the body with
the necessary building material, nature will heal practicallyany disease so long as too much of the vital organs or glands
have not already been destroyed by disease or operations.
What are the obstructions to be removed in the healing
process? Obviously, drastic poisons such as vaccine serums,
drugs, tobacco, alcohol, coffee, tea, cola drinks, etc. poison
the system immediately and set up disease states. But other232

blockages form slowly in the tissues as a result of incompatible foods, wrong food combinations, and over eating.
These substances as well as the drugs, interfere with normal
digestion and assimilation. The by-products of perverted
metabolism undergo a chemical change and are lodged in
the tissues in solid form. Some are in the form of sharp
needle-like crystals that cause pain in arthritis; others accumulate into hardened masses which are called gallstones.
A gluey material coats the blood vessels and slows down
circulation. “Some of these blockade materials are cholesterol (from fat), uric acid formed from excess protein (anymore than two ounces per day is excess protein), carbonicacid from sugar and starch, chlorine (from table salt), andcalcium carbonate (from milk, calcium tablets and other calcium containing substances that failed to assimilate becauseof some type of interference or glandular malfunctioning.”—Dr. M. O. Garten.
WHAT CAUSES EPIDEMICS?
Most people are over loaded with these infusions of blockade materials that cannot be utilized by the body. Whensome extra strain is put upon the vital forces such as sudden change in the weather, fatigue, fear, worry, wrong foodetc., the body is unable to hold back the “bursting tide ofaccumulated waste” any longer and lets go—forces it out ina cleansing program, that usually lasts from 5 days to two
weeks. Colds, eruptions, fevers, diarrhea and even paralysis are symptoms of this cleansing effort to rid the bodyof waste that has not been eliminated through the usual
channels. People do not catch diseases from others who
have it. All those who are ill built their own causes and thesame stresses triggered off the “cleansing act” in all who
had reached the saturation point of poisons.
When poisons flow in a free state in the body as is the233case with vaccines, the internal defense mechanism is forced
to rob the tissues of calcium and other alkalizing elements
to neutralize these poisons. If the person is on the borderlineof calcium deficiency then there can be no neutralizing andcollapse or paralysis is the result.
R. B. Pearson made an exhaustive study of the dataand experiments that have been made with polio vaccines
and summed up his finding as follows: “Hence, I believe
there was no virus in the vaccine used. It was just a solutionof the toxins and acid end-products of the decomposed
proteins used that caused all the paralysis. The acids generated by cooked meat in Dr. Pottenger’s cats (experimentthat caused polio in the cats) affected the nerves first, andthe acids formed in the decomposed proteins used in thevaccines affected the nerves first. It is the same thing and,no so-called ‘virus’ is connected with it.” (From Infantile
Paralysis, by Pearson.)
Many methods have been tried by drugless doctors in an
attempt to rid the body of the blockage materials that stoodin the way of recovery. The right kind of an elimination diethas been very beneficial, proper breathing and exercises havehelped, mental and spiritual treatments have been useful toa few but the method that has brought the best and surest
removal of poisons and recovery from disease is fasting.
Those who are experienced in fasting therapy claim thatfasting is 20 times more efficient as a healing measure thananything else.
On a fast, no food of any kind is eaten and no juices
taken. Water is permitted and that’s all. Fasting is not starving. Starving does not begin until after 8 or 10 weeks offasting. The fast should be broken before that time. A longfast should be supervised by someone who is experienced in
conducting fasts. Some of the best authorities on this mostvaluable of healing aids, are listed in a another chapter. A

234

good book on fasting should be studied before undertaking
a fast at home. Short fasts of two or three days may quite
safely be taken at home. (Some of the best fasting books
are sold by Health Research, Mokelumne Hill, Calif.) The
experts in the field tell us that the fast should be followed by
fresh fruits and juices or fresh (not canned) vegetable juices
at a separate meal. Several days of simple meals of fruits andvegetables should be the rule before any starch or protein iseaten. Needless to say, the old habits of wrong eating should
not be continued. A good guide to follow after the fast is Dr.
Shelton’s little book, Food Combining Made Easy.
Hot baths have been beneficial in many cases of polio. The
late Bernarr MacFadden said, “A warm bath 98 to 99 degrees
for an hour or more, two or three times daily, with drinking
of nothing but water, if adopted immediately after the onsetof polio—should cleanse the system and divert the attack.”(No soap or anything else should be used in the water)
A friend of mine who was paralyzed after his shots atcamp during the First World War said he lay helpless in the
Army hospital for weeks then one night when the nurses
went to a dance in the recreation hall downstairs he dragged
himself out of bed and pulled himself across the floor by
his elbows until he reached the bathroom. Then he filled
the tub full of hot water and managed to get in and stayed
there quite a while. When he got out he could walk so hedressed and went downstairs and stood in the doorway andhis nurse almost fainted when she saw him. He was sent
overseas after that. When he came back he had a conditionof forgetfulness which they called “shell shock” but it wasmore than likely the after effects of the vaccine poisoning.
Some doctors, in trying to build up the calcium deficiency in polio and other poisoned patients, give themcalcium tablets, bone meal, lime and other such concentrates. Some report good results while others are harmed

235

by it. Calcium cannot be assimilated without the properbalance of phosphorus, iron, sodium, vitamin B, C, and D.
Most of the vitamin pills on the market are synthetic coaltar products or fish liver oil and act as irritants instead offoods. These are not recommended. No chemist or doctor
knows the exact proportion in which these elements should
be combined, therefore it is better to get them as they growin nature where they are combined in perfect balance.
Some of the richest sources of calcium are: Turnip
greens, mustard greens, watercress, powdered whey, celery,turnips, spinach, cauliflower, dandelion greens, dried figs,
hazelnuts, molasses, lentils, endive, chard, escarole, milk,cheese, parsley, alfalfa tea, and others. These, of course,
must be free from insecticide spray.
TO REMOVE POISON SPRAYFROM FRUITS AND VEGETABLES
Much of the spray can be removed by a 1% solution of
Hydrochloric acid. A simple way is to pour 1/2 cup of theacid into a large enamel pan or crock (not metal such as tin
or aluminum). Add two gallons of water and let the fruits
and vegetables remain in the solution for 3 minutes. Thendrain and rinse in clear water. The solution may be saved
and used for several days. In the meantime make demandsof our public officials that poisons on foods be prohibited.
Healthy soil, free from chemical fertilizers and sprays
will produce foods that are free from disease and pests. Thishas been tested and proved by the so called “organic-farming” methods with their balanced compost and powdered
granite and other soil builders.
If we are to eliminate polio epidemics and free our country from all disease we must attack the problem at its source.
The foundation is in the healthy soil, then the healthy foodcan be raised. With the improved food and correct health236

education and banishment of commercialized foodless-foods,
drugs, narcotics and other products that menace the race we
can raise our low standard of health (with 90% of our people
below par) up to the level where it should be. Only then can
we expect to have unlimited health, happiness and progress.

VACCINATION—MEDICAL DELUSION
By Rex U. Lloyd

Ever since the dawn of history man has believed and still
does, in the miraculous and curative power of poisonous
agents and anything and everything which experience has
amply proven to be harmful to the wellbeing of organized, organic, living structure. Today, with our Modern
and Scientific Medicine that boasts of the advances being
made in the field of preventive medicine—having evolved adetailed science of Theoretical Immunology in which harmful man-eating microbes, virus, etc., are credited with thepower of causing disease, previously assumed by primitive
man to belong to satanic gods, evil spirits, demons and serpents,—we are by no means in a state of better health thanwere the ancients.
The orthodox and dominant school of healing—
Medicine—-has taught us and deliberately popularized thefalse and absurd notion that Disease Is An Entity— something that invades the body from without; that there aremicrobes, germs, viruses, capable of causing (communicable)disease and that specific pathogenic bacteria produce specific disease by invading the animal tissues: that inoculationof pus and other pathogenic products into the organism
produces resistance or immunity to infection by once
being infected and that this immunity can be transferred toanother. It is claimed in medical textbooks that the body
produces specific protective substances called Antibodies,and that these must be obtained from another person orsome animal which has produced them by having been
infected by minute amounts of poisonous products froma specific disease.
We do not deny the existence of microbes but we dodeny that there are any insidious, man-eating, death-dealing241pathogenic bacteria capable of causing pathology. NaturalHygiene—school of rational, wholesome and total living(which originated in the United States 125 years ago) declaresthat Toxemia is the universal basic cause of all pathology
and so-called disease. Toxemia is the accumulation of bodywaste and is produced by anything and everything that enervates the body. Enervation is produced by anything that uses
up excess energy, e.g. poisons, denatured foods, lack of sleep,
rest, relaxation, fresh air and sunshine, overeating, sexual
excesses, dissipations of all kinds, worry, fear, jealousy, mental self-abuse, unpleasant human and social relations, faulty
economic conditions. This checks elimination and permits
accumulation of body waste. Bacteria do not cause pathology but are rather the effects of disease. They are, we mightsay, Scavengers—necessary by-product of diseased tissuesof the impaired organism. It should be emphasized that
only true natural immunity can be attained through a stateof internal cleanliness based on legitimate nutrition andhygienic living habits. Our orthodox medical practitioners
all seek for a way to make unclean living safe by creating ahypothetical artificial immunity through immunization andthus protect us from the natural consequences of our daily
violations of the laws of life.
Numerous experiments with germs conducted in thepast have conclusively proven that bacteria does not andcannot produce disease in a healthy organism. Years ago,
Dr. Pettenkofer, professor at the University of Vienna, cameto the conclusion that germs alone do not produce pathology and for years defended his position from the lecture
platform and in his writings. On more than one occasion heand his assistants swallowed the contents of glasses containing millions of living cholera germs. Dr. Thomas Powell ofCalifornia, who is believed to have taken more germs thanany other man, challenged his medical colleagues to produce242

a single disease by germ inoculation. He was inoculatedwith cholera germs, bubonic plague germs and bacteria of
every description and which was fed to him in every kindof food, yet nothing happened. Read U.S. Government
Bulletin Hygienic Laboratory—Bulletin No. 123, Feb. 1921,
for further proof on contagious diseases.
Medical history credits Edward Jenner, an English
pharmacist and surgeon, (1798), with the discovery of vaccination. Inoculation, in some crude form has been practiced
by savage and primitive people from an unknown period,
among which were Negroes, Arabs, Nubians, Shillocks,
Tibetans and Hindoos. All that Jenner did, was that hehelped to resurrect an old custom popular then among
dairymen and milk maids and supplied it with modern
theories.
THE NATURE OF VACCINES AND THE
DANGERS AND SERIOUS COMPLICATIONSTHAT FOLLOW SERUMIZATION
All vaccines and serums are foreign proteins and therefore
a virulent poison. If any protein enters the body illegitimately, through any channel other than the digestive tract,
it becomes a strong poison. Proteins in themselves cannot
be used by the body—they first require to be broken up by
the various processes of digestion into Amino Acids before
they become useful as a nutrient to the organism and can betaken into the blood stream to be used as building materials.
Injections of therapeutic serums in human beings and animals result in impairment and great injury to some of themost vital organs—heart, lungs, liver, kidneys, nerves etc.
Anaphylaxis or Serum Poisoning or Disease, sometimes
called Serum Shock, are the terms being used to indicate
the harmful after-effects of vaccination. We cannot tell inadvance of the inoculation the amount of damage which243will be done in any particular individual, whether he will dieof anaphylaxis, be severely damaged for life or throw it off
with a minimum amount of harm to himself. The degree of
injury done to the organism may have no immediate noticeable effect but will find expression eventually, especially if
the harmful practice is continued. It may result in constitutional debility, degeneration, chronic disease, and death.
Some of the symptoms following vaccination and resulting in Serum Sickness are: Fever, Glandular Enlargement,
Urticaria, Leucopenia, Leukotaxis, Sciatica, Phlebitis, Pain
and Tenderness of the Joints, Paralysis, Heart Failure,
Collapse and Death.
Harold S. Diehl, M.A. M.D., Sc.D.—Textbook of
Healthful Living (1945), pp. 256-57, says: “The dangers ofvaccination claimed by the anti-vaccinationists are practically all fallacious or of such antiquity that they do not
apply to modern vaccination .... Complications of vaccination are occasionally reported, but how frequently theseoccur it is difficult to know, possibly once in a million vaccinations. There was not a single record of a serious resultin the millions of vaccinations done in the army and navy
during the First World War.”The evidence and literature proving that vaccination
evolves complications, pathology with often fatal results
are too numerous to mention here, but it seems Dr Diehl isdeliberately distorting facts. Let the record speak for itself:
The Report of the Surgeon General of the Army, 1919,
Vol. 1, p. 38, gives the number of Admissions to Hospitals
during the year 1918 on account of vaccinia, the diseasecaused by vaccination, as 10,830. Another Report of theSurgeon General of the Army, 1918 gives the number of
Admissions to Hospitals during the year 1917 on accountof vaccinia and typhoid vaccination combined as 19,608.
The writer, served in the U.S. Army in World War II,

244

and had the misfortune to partake personally in one of
the Vaccination Epidemics which occurred in the summerof 1942. He was hospitalized for two weeks during May
as a result of inoculation received against Yellow Fever in
February of the same year. He was unable to take any foodfor one week and the symptoms included:
Constant Vomiting, Yellow Skin, Abdominal Pain,
Restlessness, Drowsiness, Delirium, Elevated Temperature,
Loss of all Appetite, and a Severe Feeling of Sickness. A
large percentage of the men in his company came downwith the same sickness—Yellow Jaundice—and were
hospitalized.
TIME, the Weekly News Magazine, p. 57, Section on
Medicine, Aug. 3, 1942, brought the Epidemic Outbreak to
the attention of the public under the title Jaundice Rampage
it reports:“From Army Hospitals for the past three months havecome rumors of a mysterious epidemic of jaundice. (Onerumor: 1500 jaundiced men in famed Walter Reed Hospital.)
Last week War Secretary Henry Stimson was ready to talk.
Jaundice had attacked the armed forces. There have been 62
deaths, 28,585 hospital cases—4,528 of them overseas. Mr.
Stimson hastily added that the disease is not contagious nor
dangerous to the civil population.” TIME reports further:... the true story!
“In early April, soldiers began to come down with jaundice in such numbers that Army doctors and civilian expertson the Army’s Epidemic Control Board began franticallysearching the cause. Along with yellow skin went nausea,
nervousness, lack of appetite, constipation. Sometimes asoldier would be out of kilter for six weeks. Highest-ranking
sufferer: Lieut. General Joseph Stillwell, who came downwith it after his famed foot march across Burma mountains.”“The experts finally decided that the disorder might245

be connected with the Army’s inoculation against Yellow
Fever.”
TIME continues with the report and voices the conclusions of the experts who suspect that the batch of vaccine
which was used must have been imperfect or contaminatedby another germ.
Among the greatest crimes today is that of Vaccination
By Compulsion. The forcible introduction of pus into thebody of man, woman and child, with or without his consent, is a threat to personal liberty, is unconstitutional anda crime against humanity. These outrages are committed
daily in all parts of the world in the name of Science andMedical Progress. Medical Practitioners, supported by theirPowerful Commercial Allies have supported this insidiouspractice and are responsible for introducing compulsory
vaccination laws.
Supreme Court Justice Cardozo stated that: “Every
human being of adult years and of sound mind has a right todetermine what shall be done to his own body; and a surgeon
who performs an operation without his patient’s consent
commits an assault for which he is liable in damages.”
The Supreme Court of Massachusetts handed down adecision, stating that:‘If a person should not be willing in his case and theauthorities should think otherwise, it is not in their power
to vaccinate him by force.”
The verdict rendered by the prominent U.S. Supreme
Court Judge and similar decisions reached by various
State and Federal Courts should be sufficient to outlaw allcompulsory medication and vaccination laws and make ita criminal offense for anyone to use force in an attempt
to do so. That so-called Preventative Medicine Does Not
Prevent Disease but Inflicts Serious Complications, Lifelong
Diseases, if Not Death has been proven repeatedly, and that246

Justice Is Not Rendered In All Cases and In All Courts has
also been demonstrated.
Thus, the Federal Court in New York City, although
it must have well realized the unconstitutional nature of
the verdict, when it convicted and sentenced to three years
imprisonment, John Collura, 19, of Mt. Vernon, N. Y., forrefusing to be vaccinated upon induction into the Army at
the beginning of World War II. He did not refuse military
service, mind you,—but being health-minded, did not wantto endanger his health. Mr. Collura’s defense showed during
the trial that there never has been a so-called Compulsory
Vaccination Law in the United States, and that in the British
Army and Navy vaccination was always optional. (See:England Abandons Compulsory Vaccination—Dr. Shelton’s
Hygienic Review, Feb. 1949)
Mr. Selig Kaplan, lawyer of New York, stated at theoutbreak of the second World War that “... there is nothing
in the National Draft Law which requires (one) to submit
to involuntary compulsory vaccinations or inoculationsof animal matter.” Must we submit to a practice which
violates one of the fundamental freedoms guaranteed us
in the constitution? The objector should not feel that heis in the minority. We should recall the splendid examples set by prominent persons of great intellectual calibre
who have been staunch anti-vaccinationists and non-conformists in regard to orthodox therapeutics. Bismarck,
Salisbury, V. Zedwiz, Earl Dysart, Wm. Lloyd Garrison,
Premier Asquith, Gladstone, Voltaire, Victor Hugo, John
Bright, G. K. Chesterton, George Bernard Shaw, MarkTwain, Elbert Hubbart, Robert Ingersoll, Alexander von
Humbolt, Herbert Spencer, Alfred R. Wallace, W. Webb,
Luther Burbank, Thomas Edison, Henry Ford.
In recent years, top-rank British Generals who refused
vaccination have come into the news. Lt. General Robertson,

247

Commander British Commonwealth Occupational Force inJapan, clashed with the Health Dept. for refusing vaccination when he arrived at Darwin, Australia by air, Aug. 1947.
When the Chief of the Imperial Service Staff, ViscountMontgomery, visited Australia in 1947 he also refused vaccination. Also, General Douglas McArthur is fully familiar
with, the dangers of vaccination as he did not permit having
his son vaccinated.
Statistics used by the Medical Profession prove tothe uninformed public the health-promoting qualities ofserums, toxins, anti-toxins etc., that these have reduced
or eliminated infectious diseases and have conquered epidemics—smallpox, typhus, cholera etc. This is false andmisleading advertising and propaganda. These figures andstatistics have been skillfully juggled by deliberately distorting facts to frighten people into being vaccinated.
Thus, Dr. H. S. Diehl in the aforementioned book, pp.
253-57 says: “A person living today cannot possibly realize what smallpox meant before the days of vaccination.
Smallpox was just as inevitable then as measles is today ....
It has been estimated that 60 million people in Europe diedof smallpox during the eighteenth century.
“Smallpox is a disease which varies enormously in severity. In pre-vaccination days it was always severe, being fatal
to between 20 to 30 per cent of its victims It affects alikethe rich and the poor, the clean and the dirty. It spreads
wherever the contagion finds susceptible people. The one
and only method of controlling it is to raise the individual
resistance by means of vaccination.”If the death rate of smallpox and fevers was so enormous, it was largely due to the medical treatment of thattime. A number of eruptive diseases such as measles,
chicken pox, scarlet fever etc. were regarded as smallpox
before Dr. Seydenham differentiated between the various

248

symptom-complexes. How great the number of deaths
was from scarlet fever, measles, chicken pox etc., that were
included in the smallpox epidemics will never be known. Dr.
Russell T. Trall, the eminent Natural Hygienist, consideredsmallpox “as essentially . . not a dangerous disease.” He
cared for large numbers of patients afflicted with smallpox
and never lost a case. Under conventional medical treatment, patients were drugged heroically, bled profusely, were
smothered in blankets, wallowed in dirty linen, were allowed
no water, fresh air and stuffed with milk, brandy or wine.
Antimony and Mercury were medicated in large doses.
Physicians kept their patients bundled up warm in bed, withthe room heated and doors and windows carefully closed, sothat not a breath of fresh air could get in, and given freely
large doses of drugs to induce sweating (Sudorifics), plus
wine and aromatized liquors. Fever patients were put into
vapor bath chambers in order to sweat the impurities out of
the system. Given no water when they cried for it and when
gasping for air were carried to a dry-hot room and after awhile were returned to the steam torture. Many must havedied of Heat Stroke!
How did smallpox originate? It appeared only with thecollapse of the Greek and Roman Civilization with its highstandards of health. Neither Greece nor Rome suffered fromsmallpox while a disease resembling it decimated populations in Africa and Asia. The sanitary and hygienic systemsof the great pagan civilizations—public baths, gymnasia,
solaria, athletic stadiums, municipal water supply, drainage,
toilet facilities, well-aired, sunny, spacious and clean living
quarters, garbage disposal, simple, natural and unspoiled
foods—prevented the appearance of infectious diseases
and fevers. The sanitary conditions in the towns and cities
of Europe in which smallpox raged were most frightful.
According to Montgomery’s The Leading Facts of English

249

History, the streets of London and other cities were rarely
more than twelve to fifteen feet wide were neither paved norlighted. Pools of stagnant water accumulated everywhere,
heaps of garbage abounded and were only removed when
it began to obstruct the traffic. There was no sewage anddead dogs, cats, rubbish, rotten vegetable and fruit refuse,
human and animal excreta, and slops from the kitchen were
all thrown into the streets. Surrounded by high walls, cities could not expand and people were forced to live in aslum-like manner. Holes served as windows, with little orno ventilation, whole families slept in one room often in one
bed, and hundreds of persons lived in one building crowdedin from the sub-cellar to the attic. They rarely ever washed,
had no bath tubs, no underwear and wore the same clothes
day and night. They lived in utmost poverty, slaved longhours, even the children worked, drank heavily of alcohol,
ate like hogs of spoiled, unnatural food and suffered frommalnutrition.
So-called infections or zymotic diseases are brought on
by Toxic Poisoning (Sepsis), resulting from protein putrefaction of animal origin. Toxins vary from slight irritants
to most virulent poisons. The most septic poisons are offlesh or animal origin and produce infectious diseases e.g.
bubonic plague, smallpox, yellow fever, diphtheria, etc.
Toxins arising from carbohydrate decomposition are of amuch less virulent nature and result in catarrhal conditions,e.g. colds, laryngitis, influenza etc.
Plagues and epidemics in the past were not conqueredby the use of vaccines but were cleared up through sanitaryand hygienic measures-street sanitation, sewers garbage disposal, adequate water supply, toilet facilities, better living
quarters with spacious windows and ventilation, fresh air,light, sunshine, unspoiled, natural food, refrigeration andbetter food storage, public recreational facilities, parks better

250

working conditions, social and family relations.
There is only one true prophylaxis or real (natural)immunity against disease—and that arises from health—state of structural and functional organic harmony. Thereis no wrong way to do right and there is no substitute forclean, legitimate, hygienic living. Nature builds immunity
within, in the living organism, and does not require artificial
assistance.
Instead of destructive and suppressive methods, exponents of Natural Hygiene submit that health is maintained
and restored by the internal and inherent forces of the living
body operating with those same conditions and material
agencies as they are found in free nature, and with which
she has built up and maintains the whole animal world. The
Eternal, God-given, Hygienic Factor-Elements are:food, air, water, exercise, rest, sleep, relaxation, light,
sunshine, warmth, mental poise and harmony, and freedom
from enervating habits. Hygiene is not a school of healing
and has no therapeutic panaceas. It is a grand scheme of
total living with an all-embracing program of life building. It is built upon a new and revolutionary synthesis ofcorrelated living factors that fuses each part of life into aharmonious and intelligent whole, and presents a normal
pattern of living in terms of a valid biological standard.
In the recovery from so-called infections there is no more
effective and certain way or rapid means than through thefast. Fasting is abstinence of all food except water and is aplan of physical, physiological, mental and sensatory rest.
The recovery from diseases such as colds, typhoid fever,typhus, influenza, yellow fever, smallpox measles, scarlet
fever, mumps etc., which definitely originate through dietary
errors and unclean living, is always hastened through fasting, and hygienic measures which are successful when allother therapeutic means fail.

251

The following revealing statement was made by State
Senator, John J. Haluska (Penn.) In its opening remarksdelivered by the Federal Court, Pittsburgh, Penn., when heappeared pursuant to subpoena in connection with the disposition proceedings in that court.
“There exists now, and perhaps, always will exist differences of medical opinion with respect to the effect ofdrugs and therapeutic treatments. Any attempt to regulate
by law in those fields where honest differences of opinion
exist between groups of qualified practitioners is contrary
to public interest.
“Such a regulation is now being attempted by theAmerican Medical Association which for some time has
fought me and has in the past conspired to liquidate me,
as was developed in the injunction hearings carried on in
Cambria County in July, 1954.
“The doctors and the AMA (American Medical
Association) have not given up their fight. Organized medicine at this very moment has succeeded in placing theirpersonal emissaries in high places to advise and control
Oveta Culp Hobby, Head of the Health, Education andWelfare, of which the Food and Drug Administration isan adjunct.
“Previously announced threats against foes who refuse
to conform to the AMA and their political and economic
beliefs are being carried out.
“The former Washington counsel and legislative agent of
the AMA, James W. Forestel, has been placed in commandof the legal department of Health Education and Welfare.
Against this prejudiced background the average citizen likemyself can hardly be heard. Accordingly I have concluded
upon the advice of my able counsel, Benedict FitzGerald Jr.,of Washington, D. C., that it would be expedient for me torely for assistance upon certain fundamental rights accorded252

to me by virtue of Admiralty, Rule 30, Article L. Section
9 of the Constitution of Commonwealth of Pennsylvania,
and the Fifth Amendment to the Constitution of the UnitedStates.
“Are the recommendations of Secretary Hobby withrespect to her endorsement of vaccine of Dr. Jonas E. Salk,
and her suggestions that every child of tender age be forced
to submit to an injection of the Salk vaccine, the law of theland?”

AMERICAN CAPSULE NEWS
October 15, 1955
American Capsule News (edited by Morris Bealle) 1400 M
Street, Northwest, Washington 5, D. C., makes the following
statements:
REPORT ON SALK VACCINE
Those who hopefully believed the sales talk of Salk vaccine
vendors and the National Foundation for Infantile Paralysis
are disillusioned and disappointed. Far from wiping out
polio, it apparently has increased it in many states and cities.
Those mass inoculations, we were led to believe, would wipeout this dreadful malady. According to serum trust propaganda, funnelled to press and public through the AMA, the
USPHS (United States Public Health Service) and the NFIP
(National Foundation for Infantile Paralysis), it has only
reduced it 40–50%. But the record shows exactly opposite.
An Associated Press dispatch from Boston Aug. 30
reported 2,027 cases of polio in Massachusetts against 273
the same time last year. In Connecticut the bad news was
276–144, in New Hampshire 129–38, in Vermont 55–15,
Rhode Island 122-22 and Maine 74–43. The mendacious
NY Times not only suppressed this news but substituted
an inspired yarn intended to mislead its readers, thus: “The
Boston polio outbreak is past its peak, although 12 newcases were reported today.”
Washington Star, Sept. 20 said 180 cases had beenreported in the nation’s capital this year to 136 last.
Maryland’s Health Dept. says 189 in 1955 to only 134 sametime in 1954. New York City up to 377 from the 1954 highof 206.
New York State similarly 764–469. Wisconsin 1,655 to
326 in 1954.

254

Milwaukee Journal for Aug. 30 reported that the city’s
public schools would remain closed indefinitely because of
the polio outbreak. Supt. of Schools Krumbiegel, in a desperate effort to “reassure” parents, told the Journal that,while polio might be bad in Milwaukee, it was worse elsewhere. He pointed out there was only “26 cases per 100,000
population in Milwaukee”, whereas Outgamie County’s
record was 286 per 100,000, Madison city’s 90, Brown andWinnebago counties “several times larger than Milwaukee’s.
Idaho stopped Salk inoculations completely July 1, withthis blast from the State Health Director: “I hold Salk vaccine and its manufacturers responsible for a polio outbreakthat has killed 7 Idahoans and hospitalized 79. By Sept. 14
the state had 190 cases compared with 132 for 1954. Utah
stopped inoculations July 12, while Newark, N. J., took similar action in June.
Kansas City reports 1955 the lightest polio season since1948. Should have given the weather an assist. When theweather isn’t so hot children consume less sweets Ice creamand soda pop (reducing profits of the- Rockefeller milktrust) and more protein foods. In Kansas City there were
16 cases this year against 61 in 1954; South Carolina had
a better record by 210–224; New Orleans 22–25; Chicago
235–281; New Jersey 295–298.
SALK FACTS
Polio was supposed to be wiped out in 1955. That’s what
we were given to understand last May by the U.S. Public
Health Service, National Foundation for Infantile Paralysis
and press agents for the serum houses. Instead, infantile
paralysis increased many fold in some states, and apparently
more than doubled in the United States as a whole.
Reports of State and City health departments to
USPHS, and to USPHS to press and public, are about as255

reliable as Drew Pearson and old Ananias at their worst.
Year-end headlines blazoned such propaganda as “Polio
Cases Cut, Down 52% Since Salk Shots Started”. But upon
reading the articles you find that the wildest estimates of
those responsible for Salk only set the “cut down” at 17%.
Basil O’Connor, national chairman of NFIP, in a press
release last summer said there were “tens of thousands ofpolio cases” in the United States then. USPHS, in its yearend bulletin, claims there were only 29,270 cases in the landin 1955. You can believe that if you want to—you’ll probably
only believe if you want to.
A final report from the New York City Health Dept. said
“804 cases in 1954, 795 in 1955”. Almost even. Yet this same
NY City Health Dept. wrote us on Sept. 17 that throughAugust 1954 there had been 205 cases and for the same 1955
period 377. Almost twice as much. You have to be a nitwit
to believe that, after the polio season, NY City cases jumped
from 205 to 804—tripled in three non-polio months.
Such juggled or doctored figures are included in the
USPHS reports which show one day a 17% decrease for
1955, and a week later a 25% drop. Their own press agentsapparently are at loggerheads. The Massachusetts HealthDept. lightened the load for those responsible for Salk by
giving as their final report 1,015 cases in 1954 and 3,863 in
1955. Yet on August 30, Boston newspapers reported 2,027
cases on that date against 273 on August 30, 1954. Again
this huge discrepancy—they would have you believe three
non-polio months brought 743 (three times as many) casesin the non polio months as in the bad time.
Since it is established that NY City and Massachusetts
did this, it is reasonable to assume that many others—mostothers—did the same. This reduced the official figures on1955 polio cases to a point (on paper) 17% below those of
1954. All indications are that polio, in our “immunized”

256

population in 1955, increased 100% to 200% over that ofour 1954 population which hadn’t been handicapped by“immunization”.
The genesis of the Salk Idea is generally known to havebeen the fear of NFIP officials that their touch on the public
this year might not reach the $47,000,000 they hope. The
serum companies had a huge financial stake selling millions
of Salk shots to the innocent public. The Boston Herald,
April 18, 1955, reporting a convention of drug manufacturers, preceded by a 4-col head Drug Companies Expecting
Big Profit on Salk Vaccine, said:“A spokesman for Parke-Davis, which made 50% of the
Salk vaccine, said ‘Now, that it has been declared safe we
can get back the millions we invested in the development of
Salk vaccine and make a profit out of it. Our company will
make over $10,000,000 on Salk vaccine in 1955.’“A suggestion was made that a charge of $6 for ‘complete
immunization—not including the doctor’ be made. Price tothe drug houses should be $4.00 and to the physician $4.20.”
The cost of a Salk shot can hardly be over 3 cents.
Rhodes and Company, Wall Street brokers specializing
in drug securities, in a newsletter (tip sheet), estimated thatthe gross revenue of the six houses licensed to produce andsell Salk vaccine would be about $60,000,000 with net profits$20,000,000.
The Washington Bureau of the Detroit Free Press onJune 3, 1955, wired its paper: “The government reported thatall sections of the U.S. have had more polio cases since April
1 than during the same period last year. Simultaneously, the
USPHS reported that more children who received Salk shots
made by the Wyeth laboratories suffered polio than normally could be expected—that the 240 new cases reported
the week ending May 28th was the highest number for thisMay week in five years.

257

Prof. Pierre LePine, noted French scientist of the Pasteur
Institute in Paris, called the turn a year ahead of time. The
NY Times of March 30, 1950, reports him saying “No morethan one injection in 2,000 really prevents polio infection.”
CHILDSLAUGHTER, INC.
January 14, 1956
The US Public Health Service should be thoroughly “renovated” by Congress this winter, or abolished in its entirety.
Its record in the Salk vaccine hoax, which is just coming
out, is one of the most ghastly things in the history of Big
Government or Big Medicine.
That USPHS was egged on by the National Foundation
for Infantile Paralysis is beside the point. The USPHS ischarged with protecting and promoting the public health—
not breaking it down. The NFIP is merely a respectableracket seeking $47 million from the gullible public this month.
Newspaper editors generally feel that medical “science”
can be relied on. They feel that Federal agencies like USPHS
can be relied on and should be above reproach. Many people
feel their newspapers give them facts, especially when theyquote official sources. The stark facts are the USPHS andNFIP have press and public hokum by the bucketful on the
Salk matter.
To make the public think Salk vaccine was safe, as
well as effective, “field” trials were held at the Universities
of Pittsburgh and Michigan. Unknown to the public the
USPHS conducted its own private field trials at the National
Institute of Health in Washington. They assumed they could
get the “right answer” from their own employees even if Drs.
Salk and Francis fell down on them.
On June 9, 1955, Robert S Allen said in his syndicatedcolumn “Doctors and others on the staff of the National
Institute of Health (NIH) are not inoculating their own

258

children with Salk Vaccine.” Explanation of this has been
carefully avoided up to this time, but here are the facts.
To the bewilderment of NIH’s big brass, their scientists were both capable and honest Many have children of
their own. None could be bulldozed into giving the “rightanswer” because that didn’t jibe with facts After experimenting on 1,200 monkeys (which cost the taxpayers $45 apiece)
these scientists reported that Salk Vaccine was worthless asa preventive and dangerous to take.
The answers from Pittsburgh and Ann Arbor didn’t help
until they were doctored up and the “right answer” given
the press associations. Both Salk and Francis gave different
answers and appeared confused. Their field trials proved
little else except that neither had more than a vague idea
what it was all about. But the NIH brass got revenge—they
fired, demoted or denied longevity promotions to everyone
who wouldn’t give them the “right answer”. The NFIP press
agents got together and April 12 was set as SV-Day. But naturally certain press association writers had the information“leaked out” to them that the report would be “100% safeand effective” Thus a maximum sales build-up was given.
The five Rockefeller-controlled laboratories, which stood toprofit $20,000,000 in 1955, had already been told the samething—long in advanceIn July 1954 the Eli Lilly Company began renovating a
5-story building in Indianapolis and was in full production
by October 1954. The Wyeth Laboratories had an even bigger stockpile of the Salk concoction on hand when SV-Day
arrived. Wyeth had started full-scale manufacture Jan 26,
1954. Ditto Parke-Davis and the two others.
Even the East Rutherford (NJ) Syringe Company had
been tipped off and had thousands of hypodermic syringes
ready for the market. A spokesman for the firm was quoted
in the press as saying they ‘had the word of the NFIP that259

Salk Vaccine was to be pronounced safe—that the firm
wouldn’t have done it unless it was a foregone conclusionthat the Francis report would be favorable”
Mrs. Oveta Culp Hobby, then Secretary of Health,
Education and Welfare, was brought into the picture tohoodwink the public into thinking the stuff wasn’t as deadly
as Winchell hinted it “might be.” She allowed a press photo
to be taken signing a baloney proclamation declaring Salk
Vaccine safe. She let her picture be taken with Ike and Salk,
while the serum company’s press agents did the rest.
Capsule News wrote her Jan. 4 asking if she had been
allowed to see the report of the USPHS scientists—that Salk
vaccine was worthless and deadly— when she lent herself
to that propaganda which cost many child lives We told her
we don’t believe she was, but up to press time she hadn’t
answered one way or the other.
When children started dropping like flies ... when thepolio rate in Massachusetts reached 10-fold its 1954 level... when other states reported incredible increases in infantile paralysis—the American Medical Association belatedly
looked into the matter at its mid-June convention in Atlantic
City. But of all the press, the Milwaukee Journal was the only
one to tell the bare, stark facts without trimmings. Here iswhat James C Spaulding, staff writer covering the convention, said in the Milwaukee Journal, June 19, 1955:‘A policy of secrecy and deception has been followed by
the National Foundation for Infantile Paralysis and the US
Public Health Service in the polio vaccine programs. As aresult the nation’s physicians were prevented from learningvital information about the trouble in making and testing
Salk vaccine.
“If this information hadn’t been hidden, mass medical
opinion might have forced USPHS and NFIP to take steps
that would have prevented any of the vaccine from causing260

polio. The secrecy and deception started before field trials.
“One of the things that AMA was not told was that the
USPHS had an advisory group made up almost entirelyof scientists who were receiving money from the National
Foundation for Infantile Paralysis, which body was exerting pressure to go ahead with the program even after Salk
Vaccine was found to be dangerous.
“In May some state public health officers met in Atlanta,
expecting to be told what had gone wrong with the vaccine program. Instead the USPHS scientist said he was not
permitted to disclose what had happened because it would
jeopardize the investment of the pharmaceutical firms inthe vaccine program.”
Need anything more be said?’
Reporter Spaulding continued: “The Infantile Paralysis
Foundation kept secret fact that live virus was detected infour of six supposedly finished and safe lots of vaccine.
Three drug houses, making it for trials, each made two or
more lots in which live virus was found. The USPHS laboratories, and the University of Pittsburgh (Salk) got widely
varying results.
“The only hint doctors received came when Walter
Winchell, tipped off by a scientist, said ‘Salk vaccine may
be a killer’. The field tests all indicated that Salk’s methodof killing live virus had not worked, and showed that safety
tests themselves were not effective”
No wonder Dr. Salk said on Oct. 11, 1954—as reported
from Pittsburgh by Saul Pett, Associated Press writer—“When you inoculate children with a polio vaccine you
don’t sleep well for two or three weeks”
Yet in spite of the lethal qualities shown by these tests
Dr. Hart Van Riper, NFIP’s paid medical director, said “thisdemonstrates the validity of the tests and the safety they
assure the public.” At the AMA convention, a number of261

public health doctors said they never would have started
Salk shots in their states “if they had known.”
When the first deaths were reported, Dr. Leonard A.
Scheele, head of USPHS (who never practiced medicine as
doctors know it, a day in his life) said:“It seems likely, though not immediately provable, thatthose deaths were significantly associated with this (Salk)
vaccination.” And, and but .... Knowing this, Dr. Scheele
went on the radio that evening to deliberately and falsely
tell his radio audience “I have complete confidence in Salk
vaccine.
I urge doctors to continue inoculations.” In the lynching
country, better men than Dr. Scheele have been summarily
dealt with for far less than that.
THE SALK STORY IN DOLLARS
January 21, 1956
The National Foundation for Infantile Paralysis is using
circus tactics this year in nicking the gullible public for$47,000,000 in its annual “March of Dimes” collection. On
street corners they have their pitchmen, pitchwomen, pitch
boys and pitch girls selling peanuts in cellophane bags. On
the bags is the wisecrack, thought up by NFIP press agents,“Shell out for polio.”
On the night of Jan. 30 thousands of well intentioned
women, who don’t even know NFIP won’t open its books
to public inspection, will go out pulling doorbells and begging cash for—they know not what. Their operation will
be dubbed by NFIP press agents “The Mothers’ Marchon Polio.” In Brooklyn, where anything can happen andoften does, church bells will toll “to alert the people.”
You can bet your boots there’ll be no Paul Revere riding
in Massachusetts. They know up there what NFIP’s Salk
vaccine did in stimulating the undertaker business in 1955.

262

Less than a year ago the NFIP bigwigs and gravy grabbers were crying in their cups. They thought their racket
was about over until someone thought of the gimmick of“inventing a vaccine that would prevent polio.” One of
their feature writers told a polio crusader in Coral Gables,
Florida, that the NFIP heads had told him if the vaccine
wasn’t a success the NFIP would just have to fold up.
NFIP press agents picked for them a young Hungarian
doctor at the University of Pittsburgh named Jonas Salk—
catchy name. Jonas was provided with laboratory facilities
and told to go to it—but to come up with something that
could be sold to the public as a preventive for polio. They
would see that what would be declared both safe andefficient. Jonas was selected his name would fit well into
crowded newspaper headlines and besides it was catchy.
More catchy than, say, Smith Vaccine or Jones Vaccine.
Brother Salk went to work with a will along the usual
lines—looking for the non-existent polio bug. In fact it’s
doubtful if he even looked for the bug, but merely started
seeing which ones died first, if at all. Scientists with much
more knowledge, experience and savvy than Jonas, but who
still believe in the bug theory of disease, said the Salk “tests”
were worthless because monkey kidney tissue and humantissue are different things and react differently to inoculations. We won’t go into the nauseating details of the “fieldtrials” and their failure (from NFIP and USPHS standpoint). These were well covered in last weeks Capsule News.
The NFIP had hooked the US Public Health Service
into being a party to their crime against American childhood. USPHS was used as the official agency to spew forth
the propaganda wanted by NFIP. Mrs. Oveta C. Hobby,
then Secretary of Health was hooked into signing a baloney“proclamation” for press photographers. This “proclamation”, so the cutlines said, guaranteed Salk vaccine to be263

safe. Then the gold rush was on—on for the serum companies and NFIP.
Capsule News wrote Mrs. Hobby asking if she knew
her own scientists of the National Institute of Health hadreported the Salk stuff dangerous and useless. We offeredto print her side of the story. Obviously she is ashamed ofher part in it for she had an underling write a double-talking
non-committal letter which said absolutely nothing.
So, when NFIP found its carefully planned house ofcards ($47 million in cash) falling apart it went ahead withthe program anyway. Getting confusing results from the
Universities of Michigan and Pittsburgh, where public “fieldtrials” were held, the NFIP press agents put together a story
that indicated Salk Vaccine was not only Safe but 100%
effective—long before it had ever been tried on the little
human guinea pigs who were to be its victims.
The worst polio epidemic in history occurred in
Massachusetts after 130,000 children were inoculated withthis Salk concoction. Infantile paralysis increased tenfold
over the 1954 figures until the Bay State authorities banned
its use in their borders. Yet the racketeers who are begging
for NFIP cash in Florida have come up with the false statement that the reason for Massachusetts’ polio rate is that“no children were inoculated there.”
The Massachusetts Health Dept. promptly branded thisas a lie. Not only that but they have banned the use of the
Salk concoction in their state until it becomes safer andshows some sign of being a preventive. The State of Idaho
did this last July and in England they barred it before it everstarted. The British place more value on a human life—
much more—than they do in the US.
Last July Dr. Graham W. Wilson, director of Britain’s
Public Health Laboratory service, who knew about the fieldtrials at the National Institute of Health near Washington

264said: “I do not see how any vaccine prepared by Salk’s
method can be guaranteed safe.”
POLIO’S PREVENTION AND CURE
January 28, 1956
Cervantes many years ago gave us this gem of philosophy“The proof of the pudding is in the eating.” No one everdisputed that until the polio racketeers and medical bug
hunters came along.
Down in North Carolina in 1948 a courageous andintelligent medical doctor, Benjamin P. Sandler by name, on
duty as a nutrition expert at the Oteen Veterans’ Hospital,
broke through the barriers of medical smugness and scientific hogwash to give to the world the cause and preventionof polio in such a way that no one with an ounce of brains
could dispute it.
Dr. Sandier had long realized that polio strikes with
its greatest intensity in hot weather. In hot weather there
is a huge increase of the use of ice cream, soda pop andartificially sweetened products, especially among children.
It is also a fact that people generally cut down on theirprotein diet in hot weather on the theory that you should
eat “lightly” in the summertime.
Dr. Sandier’s research showed specifically that sugars
and starches lower the normal level of blood sugar in thehuman body, producing a condition known as hypoglycemia. Also that the phosphoric acid in soda pop has atendency to absorb the phosphorous and sulphate in thefood before the natural process of metabolism can get it to
the nerves which these substances feed and nourish.
When the blood sugar becomes deficient, and the nerves
are deprived of phosphorous and sulphate, certain nerve
trunks fail to function properly and the victim loses the useof one or more limbs. Serum, usually pus from diseased265animals, only aggravates this condition by increasing thetoxin load for nature to throw off.
So he told the world through his hometown newspaper
at Asheville. All North Carolina got it; when the 1949 polio
season approached those Tar Heels cut down on this physiologic contraband 90%. It was therefore no coincidence
that polio decreased in that state in 1949 by 90%. We havethe N. C. State Health Department’s figures. They say there
were 2,498 cases of polio in 1948 and 229 in 1949. Needanything more be said?
But there was a hitch. The Rockefeller Milk Trust
sells frozen products and pasteurized milk all over North
Carolina. The Coca Cola Company is closely allied withthe far flung Rockefeller Empire. So the News Trust andThought Trust were brought into play and in 1950 inspired
publicity stories told the gullible North Carolinians that
Sandler’s findings were all a myth. The result was that the
Milk Trust and Coca Cola company went back on its 1948
sales level and— Polio went back to “normal” in North
Carolina in 1950.
For little children who suffer from this Milk Trust greed,
the chiropractic profession and medical doctors like Koch
have come up with relief. At the Mills Clinic in Burlington,
Kansas, they cure polio in seven days by removing the outrages upon nature which have caused the disease. The same
type cures are being made at the Dunn Clinic in Oklahoma
City, the Spears Hospital in Denver and elsewhere. Dr.
Koch’s method cures polio the same way it cures cancer, byoxidizing out of the blood stream the accumulated toxins
which are the cause of nerve misfunctioning.
Dr. Mills has discovered that the cause generally is
faulty nutrition, just as Dr. Sandler did. He also adds ascontributing causes fatigue, falls, tonsil surgery and DDT
sprays. Tonsillectomies are unnecessary and would never266be committed if the medical profession knew the reason for
tonsils and that melba toast or other coarse food will scrape
off the tonsils the toxins which cause the inflammation.
When the Dunn Clinic gets a patient it first goes to theroot of all trouble— the spine, the tree of life. Adjustments
are made to relieve nerve pressure which is preventing theeliminative organs from functioning 100%. The bowels arecleaned out by enemas. Few cases of polio have been known
where the bowels were not impacted with decaying feces.
Acute cases of long standing are difficult to cure. Where
early diagnosis is had frequently adjustments, water andjuice diet, cleansing of the colon and rest are given at theseclinics. Nature is thus allowed to adjust itself and the patientis cured just as soon as the toxins which cause the maladyhave been eliminated.
THE ROMANCE OF FLUORIDES (No. 1)
February 4, 1956
Salk Vaccine and Sodium Fluoride have one thing incommon. The Salk concoction kills and cripples children
quickly. Sodium fluoride in municipal water systems slowly
poisons everyone who drinks the water. In a 6-monthinvestigation, which took us across the continent andback and included interviews with both proponents andopponents, these salient standout facts were uncovered:(1) Sodium fluoride is a cumulative paralyzing poison.
(2) The US government won’t permit any productcontaining sodium fluoride to be shipped anywhere ininterstate commerce, because it is a deadly poison(3) The statement that “fluoride prevents tooth decay”
is totally untrue. There are more dental caries in school
children in towns which have fluoride in its water thanin those which don’t
267

(4) Sincere proponents have been confused by sales promoters of sodium fluoride into thinking this synthetic
chemical (made from aluminum filing tailings) is thesame as natural (calcium type) fluoride which is beneficial when found in the diet.
(5) The story that Deaf Smith County (Texas) is a“town without a toothache” is 100% false. The onetime lone dentist of the town (Dr. George W. Heard,
now retired) says he has been widely misquoted. In thiscity of 6,000 three dentists are working overtime now.
Some wag suggested it will soon be “the town without atooth.”(6)The claim is that only 1 part sodium fluoride to
1,000,000 parts of water will “not hurt a fly”. So—if it
isn’t strong enough to damage the delicate membrane of
the stomach and intestines, only a nitwit would believe
it would have any effect on the hard enamel of the teeth.
(7) The USPHS has been corrupted by commercial interests which are getting rid of an unsalable
waste product and forcing the taxpayers to pay over
$15,000,000 a year for it.
(8) The only use for sodium fluoride heretofore has been(a) As a rat poison; (b) By cattlemen to partially sterilize their bulls so they will be more tractable; (c) By the
Russian secret police to make their prisoners stupid sothey can be more easily brainwashed.
ROMANCE OF FLUORIDES (No. 2)
February 11, 1956
We’ve just received a clipping of an editorial from thePortland Oregonian for Jan. 5. It says in part: “A 10-year
test of the twin cities of Newburgh and Kinston (NY) shows268

that fluoridation of water supplies greatly reduced tooth
decay in children. In 1945 sodium fluoride was added to thewater supply of Newburgh, while Kinston’s water remained
untreated. Six weeks ago the test was completed and showedthat youngsters in the 6-16 age group in Newburgh had 41
to 58% less tooth decay than their counterparts in Kinston.”This wouldn’t be important if the Portland “news” paper
was the only one which used this hogwash. Many mediums
all over the country betrayed their reading public by using it
also . There is only one word that describes it—an outrightbarefaced lie. The facts were available had the Portland rag
wanted to use them. Fortunately for our readers, we also
have before us the official report of the NY State Education
Dept., signed by John A. Forst, MD, chief of the schools’
bureau of health service.
It says that in Kinston (the city that had pure water thelast 10 years) 5,308 pupils were inspected and 2,209 foundwith tooth defects. It says that in Newburgh (where thetown’s water contains sodium fluoride) 4,969 pupils were
inspected and 3,139 found with tooth defects. Kinston, thecity with pure water, had 339 more pupils inspected but
found 930 less with bad teeth, or 41%. Newburgh, the citywith fluoride in its water, had 63% of its pupils with badteeth. Need anything more be said?
No—but we’ll say it anyhow. Newburghers say there
is an alarming increase of heart and kidney disorders intheir city. The Newburgh Health Dept. reports 40 cases ofinfectious hepatitis in 1954, whereas there hadn’t been anyof that trouble in the previous 10 years. We wonder why?
After Dr. Forst made the “mistake” of being so forthright and honest he was raked over the coals by his superiors.
He and the school director of dental health were forced tosign a letter to the New York TIMES “explaining” this fauxpas. The explanation is so silly as to be almost unbelievable.

269

Briefly, the alibi was that different people made the examination of the children in the different cities—therefore “theexamination means nothing”. Yet— No attempt was madeto explain why, in a city (Newburgh) where everyone wastold that fluoridated water would wipe out tooth cavities,
two-thirds of the children still had dental defects after afour year “experiment”.
If honest figures were obtainable from Evanston (Ill.)and Grand Rapids (Mich.)—the other two cities designatedby the USPHS aluminum trust propagandists as “test cities”—they probably would show the same results. However,such figures aren’t available, but the figures for an alarming
increase of other diseases, which fluorides can cause, are.
Congressman Miller of Nebraska, himself a medical
physician who is solid enough to investigate fluorides before
being stampeded into advocating them, says:“A check of vital statistics of Grand Rapids, showsthat the death rate from heart disease in 1944 numbered
585. Four years later, after fluoridation had started, there
were 1,059 deaths. There was an increase of 50% in thedeath rate from nephritis. There was an increase of 50%,
over this 4-year period in deaths from intracranial lesions.
These are official figures contained in the vital statisticsof the United States published annually by the US Public
Health Service.”
The Grand Rapids health officer tried to “neutralize”
Dr. Miller’s disclosures by a letter quoting a false figure(25%) which he said was the population increase of Grand
Rapids in that 4-year period. Dr. Miller came right backwith the US Census figures showing that Grand Rapids
has only increased 7.8% in the period the fluoride propagandists said it had jumped ahead by one-fourth.
It is also significant that this same health officer
has announced the launching of a program to train 20

270members of his staff in mental health problems. It looks
like he thinks fluorides are causing insanity, as well as heart
and kidney troubles, hepatitis, nephritis and cranial lesions.
ROMANCE OF FLUORIDES (No. 3)
February 18, 1956
Mass medication is a violation of every concept of medical practice. Compulsory medication is a violation of theConstitution of the United States, and of every state in
the Union.
The city fathers of over 900 American cities have beenbamboozled, hornswoggled, fooled, pressured and (in somecases) bribed into mass poisoning of their citizenry by the
dumping of rat poison known as Sodium Fluoride into
their city water plants. The theory (or superstition) is that
it will prevent tooth, decay in children.
Even if it did, that would be no justification for poisoning entire populations. It would be sufficient to paintthe teeth of the children to be immunized from toothache.
Last week’s Capsule News showed beyond any doubt thatfluoride in water increases, rather than decreases, toothtroubles. This week we are going to prove, by competent
medical and mental authorities, that the toxic chemical
known as sodium fluoride is a slow acting but positive
cumulative degenerating poison, destroying the cells of theheart, kidneys, liver, and other soft-tissue organs.
Dr. Frederick B. Exner, M.D., of Seattle, Washington isrecognized the world over as one of the leading authorities
on fluoridation. He has been called as an expert witness
before committees of Congress and various state legislatures.
He says: ‘Fluoride has no known action on the unerupted(not-yet-grown) tooth‚ ….
Fluoride, even in minute doses, accumulates in the body.
After sufficient time, it causes cumulative poisoning. Fluoride271

is excreted largely through the kidneys. Consequently, earlier
and more severe damage occurs in people with impaired
kidney functions. It is also more severe in diabetics andothers who drink unusual amounts of water .... Even if
fluorides were safe to use, even if the promised benefits could
be expected (which they can’t) fluoride still should not be
put in the water supply. Aside from practical and moral
objections, it is medical insanity.”
Dr. Charles T. Betts is a leading dentist in Toledo,
Ohio. For many years he has made a study of the effect ofusing aluminum kitchen utensils in cancer incidence. Since
artificial fluorides are mainly made from aluminum filing
tailings—an unsalable poisonous byproduct of aluminum
manufacture—Dr. Betts is in an excellent position to testify
to the effects of fluoride poisoning. He says:“Fluorides are a poison which is cumulative in the bodysimiliar to radium. No antidote is known. It is a waste gas
or by-product in the manufacture of metallic aluminumcooking utensils. There is no provision in any city charter
that gives officials the right to commit the criminal act of
poisoning its citizens due to ignorance of basic law. . . In
Akron, Ohio, I spoke to their city council—showed them
what they would be doing if they attempted to kill theirwomen and children with these fluorides. In went the fluorides anyway .... In two months thousands were covered
with leprosy sores. Now $18,000 worth of fluorides are forsale, also the machinery . . . In this mass medication program
all water boards so committing it are guilty of practicing
medicine, dentistry and pharmacy without a license.”
George L. Waldbott, M.D., Detroit physician who hasmade an extensive study of the effect of fluorides on thehuman body, says:‘All reports of fluoride poisoning emphasize the great
variety of symptoms, the insidious onset, the slow course272

of the disease, the fact that death is caused by a general
wasting away and not by the involvement of only one organ.
Symptoms show that fluorides interfere with the normal
utilization of calcium and phosphorous in the body. It prevents depositing of bone substances in joints and ligaments
especially in the lower spine and causes temporary hardening of the bones, teeth, nails and hair, followed by softeningof bones and nails .... Experiments have been made in thetowns of Cameron and Bartlett (Texas) where there is a highincidence of fluorine in the water. It was found that 10.1 outof every 100 inhabitants had eye cataracts, 13.8 arthritis,
10.1 bone changes, 19.4 bearing defects, brittle nails andseverely mottled teeth .... The incidence of these defects
over the entire nation is far lower than this—being only I
in 100 for cataracts.
Canton Brehmer, DDS, writing in the Journal of theAmerican Dental Assn., says that his city of Sheboygan
has had fluoridated water for seven years‚ … that lately
mottled enamel has begun to show up ... it is not pretty ...
it is a serious disfigurement to those who are interested intheir looks ... what it does to them further inside I do not
like to think of.”
The Newburg (NY) News, the town which is being used
as a guinea pig for the aluminum trust’s fluoride salesmen,
said on Jan. 27, 1954: Heart deaths in Newburg this year
totaled 283, or 882 per 100,000 population. The rate for thenation as a whole was only 507 per 100,000.
Mrs. Madeline E. Healy, director of a Boston laboratory
for blood allergen diagnostic testing, said sodium fluoride isan efficient rat exterminator, a protoplasmic poison because(in all instances of use) it causes slow or rapid destructionof cells and since 1855 pharmacologists have been awarethat it serves no useful purpose to man.
The Bulletin of the Hudson County (N. J.) Dental Society

273

for Dec. 1955 pointed out that a Federal court in Oregonawarded $38,290 damages from the Reynolds Metals
Company (large aluminum producers) to an Oregon family named Martin. The Martins suffered serious injury tolivers, kidneys and digestive functions from eating vegetables
and other farm products contaminated by fumes from the
nearby plant. Witnesses testified that they had contracted
the disease known as fluorosis.
Dr. George W. Heard, retired dentist of Hereford (DeafSmith County, Texas) whose words were twisted and misrepresented by Colliers Magazine in an article called The Town
Without a Toothache, says “I believe that fluorine does, ina mild way, retard caries, but I also believe that the damage it does is far greater than any good it may appear toaccomplish. It makes teeth so brittle and crumbly they canbe treated only with difficulty, if at all.”Dr. William P. Martzowska (Mich.) dentist, says
‘sodium fluoride steals calcium from the body. In naturally
fluoridated water—water conditioned by nature for 1,000
years—fluorine occurs in the form of calcium fluoride, in an
organic combination. This calcium (natural) fluoride does
not steal the calcium from the body since it brings its own
calcium with it.’
Benjamin C. Nesin, director of NY City’s utility laboratories says: ‘Never in the history of water supply has
a substance so toxic in nature, with such a high degree ofphysiological potency, and associated with so much adverse
evidence affecting public health, been considered for introduction into public water supplies.
Gordon Leitch, MD, Portland (Oregon) pointed outthat fluoridation endorsement by the American Dental
Association is utterly meaningless for the same reason thatclergymen are expected to be against sin.
The Rev. Lyle F. Sheen of Geneseo, Illinois, after an274investigation of the effect and non-effect of fluorides, hasoffered $1,000 reward to anyone who can prove (1) Thatsodium fluoride will prevent tooth decay, (2) That SF is
not poisonous even in small amounts, (3) That the moon ismade of green cheese.
THERE HAVE BEEN NO TAKERS
We could take up a whole library shelf in quoting these
opinions and findings of scientists on the payroll of thealuminum trust or of its stooge, the US Public HealthService. But We’ll be content with quotations from expert
testimony before the Delaney sub committee of the Houseof Representatives in Washington, on the Wier bill to stop
fluoridation nationally.
‘There is a great difference between the effects of natural (calcium) fluoride waters and artificial sodium (or silico
sodium) fluorides ... statistics about reduction in tooth decay
are dug up in deepest secrecy by an empire building Federal
agency using falsifications and deceits ... fluoride is deadly,
toxic, cumulative, extremely corrosive poison used commercially to kill rats and etch glass fluoride attacks and destroys
body calcium so necessary to human life ... it causes blisters
and cracks in the mouth, attacks the ulnar nerve just as
lead attacks the radial nerve, damages thyroid and kidneys,causes severe rash, itch and stiff joints.
HOW THE BIG LIE WORKS
February 25, 1956
Adolph-the-Worst used to say that if you tell the people a
big enough lie, often enough and vigorously enough, they
will believe it. That’s what the newspapers are doing about
Salk Vaccine which has been thoroughly discredited by facts
printed in Capsule News. Take Miami, Fla., for instance,
where the cash receipts from the March of Dimes racket

275was lagging behind.
The Miami Herald there printed a falsehood—in bothan editorial and a local column. It said the reason polio
increased tenfold in Massachusetts in 1955 was that “no childthere had been given Salk vaccine.” Mrs. Alice Wellesley ofCoral Gables immediately challenged this falsehood. She sent
to the Herald a letter from the Massachusetts State HealthDept. stating that 130,000 children in that state were inoculated before authorities got wise to themselves and checked
the disaster by banning all further Salk inoculations.
A copy of Capsule News giving the real figures and facts
in the case was sent along with it. The editor of the Herald
was asked to give equal space and prominence to truth thatit had given to the Big Lie. No soap. As we go to press thesecommunications had apparently been thrown in the Herald’s
big waste basket, kept for just such purposes.
The New England Journal of Medicine has just given
a graphic illustration of how the Infantile Paralysis
Foundation procures “official” figures alleged to prove that
Salk Vaccine reduced polio this summer instead of doubling
it—as it actually did.
An 8-page explanation, accompanied by many charts,
graphs and tables, so confusing as to need the explanation
explained. It starts off with a false assumption, or presumption, thus:—’It is ironic that Massachusetts should have had
its largest epidemic of poliomyeitis just before the time whenpolio vaccine was to become available in sufficient quantities
to protect the whole of the younger generation.’
Yet its accompanying graph showed that the epidemic
didn’t start until July 15th and didn’t reach its peak until
August 19th. Everyone knows that Salk Vaccine was released
April 12th with a great ballyhoo campaign, and all five of
the Rockefeller laboratories already with huge stockpiles ofthe deadly concoction on hand.

Its “proof’ that Salk Vaccine cut down polio cases presumably was in this paragraph ‘The rate of cases per 100,000
among the unvaccinated was 157 and among the vaccinated63.’ However, it made the mistake of giving on another page,
the number of kids vaccinated and unvaccinated, 160,565
and 268,532 respectively.
That would have made it, if true, 145 cases among thevaccinated and 553 among the unvaccinated, total 698, children 14 and under. On another page it gives the total cases
reported (3,819) of which 2,573 were of the 14-and-underage bracket. Quite a difference between 2,573 and 698.
On such “figuring” as this, the NFIP gleefully reportsthat Salk Vaccine, the medium by which it hopes to extract$47 million from the public this year in contributions, cut
polio 60%.
THE DOLLAR SIGN BEHIND SALK VACCINE
November 1, 1955
The National Foundation for Infantile Paralysis is asking
the charitable public for $47 million this winter. It has taken
in $249 million since a group of racketeers surrounding
FDR in 1934 conceived the idea of using his birthday as
a get-rich-quick springboard. Twelve years and a quarterbillion dollars have failed to produce even hope of a polio
preventive. Hart Van Riper, medical director for NFIP, pessimistically said last winter ‘if Salk Vaccine isn’t successful
the Foundation will have to go out of business.’
Now, $47 million is a whale of an incentive to stay inbusiness ... the expenditure of even one million brings a
lot of power, lots of power. That is why Salk shots were
adjudged “safe” many months before this deadly concoction
was even tested . . . and why the tests were ignored and production continued. That is why the six laboratories licensed
to manufacture this concoction had their shelves so well277

stocked when “the word” was flashed out of Washington.
Even the stupidest medical politician realized there might
be a serious kickback. And there was. So, in licensing fivelaboratories owned or controlled in whole or in part by the
Drug Trust (the Rockefeller interests) they added a sixth
owned entirely by the Cutter family. This was to be thegoat—and it was.
Sharp & Dohme, a subsidiary of Merck whose directorate is loaded with Rockefeller Boys, is a good example.
The last report in Poor’s Manual of Industrials shows
Merck’s operating income $22,895,454, real assets (property) $61,583,858—36% earning on actual investment. This
tremendous profit is reflected in the stock market, where
Merck’s 16 2⁄3 ¢ par value common stock sold at from $17 to$23 in 1954. Their 1955 profit sheet should be a humdinger.
You can go down the line of the others—Parke-Davis, Eli
Lilly, Pitman Moore and Wyeth—and get the same picture.
Even the independent Cutters didn’t do so badly with an
18% earning on its assets of $3,809,531.
In the Oct. 1 issue we showed that, contrary to official
reports funneled to press and public through USPHS andNFIP, Salk vaccine hadn’t cut polio in half at all. We gave
detailed figures in many states showing that, in spite of themild summer, polio had increased in these places from two
to tenfold. And Salk shots were the only things these poor
kids had that they didn’t have in the past.
WHY THE SALK CONCOCTION FAILED
November 16, 1955
Propagandists for those who profit from Salk vaccine can’teven tell the same story at the same time. On Oct 2 Sec ofHealth Folsom told the world Salk shots have cut polio 50%
or more’. Nov. 8th the same party upped his cock-and-bullstory to ‘80-90% effectiveness’. Now comes Brother Salk

278

himself with this confusing double talk ‘I am looking for anewer vaccine that is not a newer vaccine but will be 100%
effective’. Figure that one out.
Figures printed by us (Oct. 15th) showed that polio had
increased from 100% to 500% in many states and 1,000% in
Massachusetts. Actually no polio vaccine can be effective
as a preventive because vaccine is based on the wrong principle. Polio bugs or viruses or bacteria are not the cause ofpolio—but the result. Its cause and prevention were clearly
and irrefutably demonstrated in 1949 by Ben Sandier, MD,a nutritionist at the US Veterans Hospital in Oteen, N. C.
MEDICAL ECONOMICS
Medical politicians have a method of stifling business competition that even decent medical doctors would like to thinknever happens. But it does. Down in Tennessee the State
Medical Beard has been giving a gigging to Dr. Chester Fair,a venerable and revered 72-year-old physician because he has
cured hundreds of cancer, polio and other such cases (which
medical orthodoxy had referred to the undertaker) by using
the highly successful Koch treatment. The Board subjected
him to a humiliating public ‘trial’, accusing him of immoral,
dishonest and unprofessional conduct—because he cured
people in a manner that brings no profit to the Drug Trust,
hospitals and the surgical brotherhood. Under the relentlesshammering of Benedict Fitzgerald, Washington lawyer who
is building a reputation as a medico-legal practitioner, theBoard hauled in its horns and dropped the first two charges.
The third was continued. In Dallas the Texas Medical
Board went ‘all the way’. They ‘convicted’ seven doctorsof the same charge—curing cancer without the approvalof the financial interests involved. Dr. Hoxsey is appealing
to the circuit court, will be heard Nov. 15. In the meantime
he announced that his doctors will be curing cancer for the279

next 20 years and the Texas Medical Board be damned.
Next issue will show what Canada’s medical board did to aregistered nurse for talking to a woman about an egg.
VACCINE FRONT
December 16, 1955
The ghastly fizzle of Salk vaccine, after the greatest ballyhoo build-up ever given a commercial product, hasproduced three outstanding features in addition to thelittle white coffins and tiny leg braces.
(1) It made a goat of the Cutter Laboratories, only oneof the six licensed to make this concoction that isn’t a partof the Rockefeller Empire.
(2) Scuttlebutt in Washington reports the coming scuttling of Dr. Leonard Scheele, who never practiced medicine
a day in his life, as head of the US Public Health Service.
This is to be the alibi for deaths from the Salk concoction.
(3) The coining of a number of sensational phrases
by serum trust public relations experts to take the public
mind off the Salk vaccine deaths. Many newspapers have
dutifully used them as headlines, qualifying for an increasein their quota of national advertising. Such as:
Device Purifies Vaccine by Sunburning Viruses’‚ ....
‘Vaccinated. Cows Give Milk Drinkers immunity’...
“General Motors Making Device that Kills Viruses in
Vaccines by Spinning”....
And such a pontifical pronunciamento as “Vaccine provides substantial protection against one of the nine virusesin the APC group (adenoidal, pharyngeal and conjunctival) a new family of respiratory viruses discovered several
years ago.” The question naturally arises—”Where was thisfamily of respiratory viruses before they were discovered?”
They are getting wise to the Salk vaccine concoctionin the Far West, Idaho, Oregon and California having

280

given evidence they are seeing through the commercial
propaganda that has been making serum companies andundertakers rich by selling millions of shots.
The people of Oregon were chastised in the newspapers
last week by the press and USPH for not using 49,000 cubic
centimeters of the state’s “quota” of 79,744 cc. The state
health officer “threatened” to withdraw these 49,000 cc
and not let the people have it if they didn’t use it at once.
The San Francisco Chronicle reports—‘The demandfor Salk Vaccine has dropped off to almost zero in San
Francisco, and apparently in the rest of the West.’
They had a meeting of 80 Idaho doctors, nurses, publichealth officials and laboratory technicians. State officials
have declared an ‘indefinite postponement’ of any moremass shots of its school children.
Following Dr. J. E. Wyatt’s frank statement that Salk
Vaccine has given polio to more people in the nation thanit has protected from the disease, the boys’ typewriters andmimeographs have been working overtime to discredit thisintrepid physician.
The AMA has been quoted as saying ‘there ain’t no
Dr. Wyatt’. The USPHS says there is no doctor working
for USPHS by that name. This latter statement is believable, since it was a foregone conclusion that any USPHS
doctor or employee spilling such a truth as that would besummarily separated from the service.
The serum publicists know their business. The job
now is to take the public mind off the failure to wipe out
polio this summer with Salk vaccine. Spectacular yarns
that make good bedtime reading are the order of the day.
Such as “a machine that spins blood plasma and polio
vaccine into a film thin enough that virus and bacteria may
be killed by ultraviolet light.” This seems to cancel out the
many official statements that Salk vaccine had been made281

“safe” after the many unnecessary polio deaths.

The March of Dimes racketeers leave no stones unturned tonick the gullible public. Like the late unlamented Hitler the
Big Lie is their chief stock in trade. To our desk has comea clipping from a Long Beach (California) paper headed:“The Country That Licked Polio—In its own quiet way little Denmark has proved that Salk vaccine is both safe andeffective.”
Our stomach is strong. We did not regurgitate. The
prevaricator (professional) who thought up that yarn completely forgot that Salk’s deadly and worthless concoction
wasn’t unveiled until April 12, 1955. Yet he blandly saysthat Denmark started to stockpile it in 1954. Capsule News
readers already know how effective it is—in piling up business for the undertakers and hospitals.

HERALD OF HEALTHPOLIO GROPINGS
By T. M. Schippell, N. D.
April, 1955
A great deal has been written about infantile paralysis—
commonly called polio. Yet, when all this mass of material
is analyzed, you discover that practically nothing whatsoever
is known about this crippling disease. The hundreds of millions of dollars that have been tossed by the public, during
the past 15 years, into the maw of the March of Dimes haveaccomplished little or nothing. All of this straining on thepart of the National infantile paralysis organization, insteadof erecting mountains of protection against polio, has not
resulted in even a modest molehill.
Of course, nobody but the “insiders” have any knowledge as to how many millions of these charity dollars havebeen cruelly wasted. Nobody but the ‘insiders” can evenguess the fortunes of dimes spent in extravagant plans
which came to naught. Nobody but the “insiders” can evenapproximate the plush salaries paid to useless desk parasites—mountebanks who found “good pickings” along thetrail of this childhood scourge.
Before the advent of the March of Dimes, polio wasunpredictable and uncheckable. With the lapse of some 15
years and the expenditure, on haywire polio preventatives,of the wealth of a Solomon, polio is still unpredictableand uncheckable. Medical experts are actually as much in
the dark today—despite their ‘past flamboyant promises
and hollow declarations-as they were before generous and283

gullible Americans threw this unlimited golden harvest to
every crack-brained laboratory in this country.
Nutritionists believe—and rightly so—that, since allpolio cases invariably show a lack of blood calcium—andsince the eating of large amounts of refined sugar admittedly lowers the calcium in the blood—there must be someclose connection between the spread of polio and the large
amounts of sweets the modern youngster consumes. Softdrinks have been singled out particularly by Naturopaths
as the likely culprits for this blood calcium deficiency—
which brings on these polio epidemics during the warm
months-but candy and other forms of refined sugar, in allprobability, will eventually have to share some of the blame.
Pregnant mothers, noted for their lack of blood calcium
because of the calcium-stealing by the unborn child, arevictims of polio 400% more often than other women.
Two years ago, the country was all stirred up about
the polio prevention possibilities of gamma globulin. This
gamma globulin was a derivative of rotten, human blood.
It was made from the great store of “unkilled” diseased
plasma—the amounts of which were bursting the seamsof the various blood banks. The doctors of the army, navy
and marine corps had refused absolutely to “shoot” thisputrid plasma into the bodies of wounded service men. They
declared it was “too disease-ridden” to use on our heroes
in uniform but such characterization of the filthy stuff did
not deter the medical men, on the payroll of the March ofDimes, from proclaiming it entirely suitable to go into theclean blood streams of helpless little American children.
Common sense was thrown overboard and the protestsof the few thinking medical men were disregarded. And
as we predicted, this highly-touted panacea turned out tobe a sham—despicable hoax—and a breeder of disease.
Fortunately, gamma globulin is now secretly abandoned284

as worthless by the March of Dimes although no publicannouncement of that fact has ever been made. Yes, gamma
globulin “hopes” have gone down the drain, the March ofDimes remembers the incident merely as a worthless remedy
that turned out to be a good money-getter. A different situation entirely is found when a survey is made of the children
who were so cruelly subjected to these ghastly inoculations.
From all reports many of them are even now suffering fromthe effects of this poisoning and no hope is held out thatmatters will get better as the years advance.
We all know that the vaccinating of the children of
Japan against small-pox—a disgraceful mass medication
spree engineered by our conquering army’s medical doctors—resulted in putting eye-glasses on fully 50% of therace that Admiral Perry—back in 1870—reported to havethe “finest eyesight of any nation in the world.” What terrors
this gamma globulin filth will yet bring forth in the bodiesof those it contaminated is anybody’s guess.
And what of this Salk vaccine? Only time will show how
greatly it damages and cripples. Just remember, no vaccine
ever prevented any disease. Sanitation and hygiene, together,have beaten small-pox and malaria. More persons die ofsmall-pox today in countries having compulsory vaccination
against small-pox than pass out from that disease in places
where no law compels a population to so poison its bloodstreams.
Is a vaccine needed to kill the virus of polio? Frankly,
there is no virus which causes polio normally. Any morethan there is virus that normally passes small-pox from one
person to another. All such viruses—germs if you prefer theterm—are the result of such diseases already growing in aweakened body.
Of course, a moronic doctor can cause almost any ailment in a normal person by filling the blood stream of the285

victim so full of virus that this poison overbalances normal resistance. But that happens only when a needle-pusher
by-passes the natural filters which the Almighty has created
for the protection of the blood. In use, the Salk vaccine
introduces into the child only a small amount of theseviruses. Of course, they will not prevent polio and only the
Almighty knows the extent of the damage such foreign substances will do to that child in the future.
Can the Salk vaccine prevent polio? It cannot! Small-pox
vaccine never stopped the spread of small-pox and malaria
vaccine never stopped the spread of malaria! If a child, vaccinated with the Salk filth continues to take great quantities
of refined sugar into its small body, much of the blood calcium will be destroyed and—Salk vaccine or not—that childwill probably come down with polio easier than a youngster
whose blood stream has not been so weakened.
But while we are on the subject of the Salk vaccine, let
us look at another angle. It should prove interesting to any
parents who foolishly pushed their children into the clutchesof the experimenters during that outrageous orgy of lastsummer when approximately 2 million children were made“human guinea-pigs”. It is reported that fully one-quarter of them had that filthy Salk concoction “pushed” into
their clean young blood streams. Actually nobody but a few“insiders” of the March of Dimes know which children had
their blood so poisoned and which of them received only
colored water. These same ‘insiders” now can arrange thenames of those children in any fashion they wish and thus
show any result of this “mass medication” they believe willbring in more dimes next year.
In January of this year, a certain Dr. Robert F. Korns
released to the press a statement from his workshop in the
University of Michigan where he supposedly was engaged
in examining samples of blood taken from the “unknown”

286

little children who had been “Salk vaccine poisoned” duringthat orgy of last year. The good doctor admitted to newspaper men—at the exact time the March of Dimes was
conducting a nation-wide “scooping up” of every available
coin—that “no one in this country knows whether the Salk
vaccine is any good or not.”This was his complete summary of that great “Salkexperiment”. But interesting as his observation is, it shades
into nothingness when compared with another item whichslipped from his lips during the same interview. Dr. Korns
admitted—according to these newspaper accounts, that
“None of his five small children was inoculated with the
Salk vaccine”.
He gave, as his weak excuse for this oversight, the factthat “the community in which his family happened to live
did not participate in the Salk vaccine test.”
Certainly a glorious record to be handed down to medical posterity! Laymen everywhere should be proud tohonor such an upstanding doctor. This good follower of
Hippocrates was entirely willing—with an unproven vaccine—to sacrifice your children on the altar of medicine’s
mad Salk experimentations but his own children—ah, they
were far too precious to be “thrown’ to the tender devicesof these wild March Hares.
As I said in the beginning—great deal has been written
about polio but the real searing stories of what actually
happened “behind the scenes” during the 15 year unfoldment of this flamboyant farce of the March of Dimes isprobably known only to the Man Upstairs Who will havemuch to say on the subject whet these same March of Dimes
practitioners try to storm the Pearly Gates.

HERALD OF HEALTHLET US FACE THE FACTS
By T. M. Schippell, N. D.
August, 1955
In my last article, I made the flat statement that, it was myopinion, this country had gone “vaccine crazy”. And nationwide developments, since that was written, only verifies mymonth old sordid conclusion. The sound common sense
which has characterized American thought for centuries,
seems to have utterly evaporated as the entire population
struggled to fling its children upon the altar of bungling
medical experimentation. And we, in the natural healing
field, realise that coming disasters have, as usual, cast theirlong sinister shadows before.
No vaccine was ever a success. First, because vaccines
are the product C abject animal misery—brought into being
through tortures of dumb animals in the stately laboratories
of drug kingdom. Tens of thousands of helpless creatures
must each die a thousand horrible deaths before a single vaccine emerges to poison the blood stream of human beings.
You can paste this statement in your hat as absolute: As longas the holy Bible states “as ye do unto the least of them, ye
do unto me”, the Almighty will not crown with success thiscrucifying diabolicalness of moronic investigators. Second,
our Creator, when He fashioned the human body, closed
the blood stream from outside contamination. All objects
entering the circulation must pass through intricate, but efficient, natural filters which bar out impurities. Yet man, withhis hypodermic gadget, circumvents these filters, regardlessof the Almighty’s forethought. If the Creator had believedthat those filters were not important, a valve leading into
the blood circulation would have been provided with thesame ease with which He has fashioned a human pump for288

the blood that will outwear, out-beat and outlast anythingthat man ever has, or ever will, conceive. Third, a nutritional
unbalance cannot be corrected by cow-pus or monkey-juice.
All ailments result from such unbalance. No vaccine can
supply what is missing or absorb poisons that cause thedamage. That is why the Salk vaccine will fail—and failutterly as every other vaccine has failed.
Let us look at the Salk concoction, which admittedly ismade from the diseased dead entrails of paralyzed monkeys.
Last Summer, some 440,000 children of a group of 1,500,000
had their clean blood streams contaminated by this monkey-juice which had not even been laboratory tested—letalone clinically tried out. Frankly, those vaccinations of last
Summer did not constitute a real test. It was a completehoax. One child in four received the Salk concoction— theothers, colored water. The names of all youngsters-those poisoned and those who got only water—were kept secret fromeverybody by a select group of hirelings inside the March ofDimes. So it was easy to “shuffle the cards” anytime during
the so-called “six months trial period” when scientists supposedly were checking the test tubes. If any child—who hadreceived the Salk monkey-juice—died, it was easy to slipthat child’s card into the cards of those youngsters who hadreceived “only colored water” and to claim the victim was a“poor unfortunate” who had not been vaccinated at all! If
such a “set-up” is a sample of American medical fair play—it
is time the laymen made some changes in the rules.
This year the Salk vaccine was approved with all the
Hollywood “first night” trimmings. Special platforms
were erected at the cooperating university, the red carpet
was spread for two hundred selected guests and then thedumb-founding news was sent out over loud speakers thatat long last, after careful checking, the Salk monkey-juice
was finally “approved”. Yet before the echoes of the shouts289

of delight from those 200 assembled guests had died away,
the great laboratories were shipping millions of “shots” ofthis monkey-juice which had been manufactured months
and months before.
Just how gullible does Modern Medicine take theAmericans to be? How raw a deal will those self-appointed“Guardians of the Public Health” spring upon their unsuspecting patients? This time, even the man on the street cansee that his sainted family physician has taken the whole
blighted country for a buggy-ride. Yet what the man on thestreet does not see is the mark this vaccination orgy will
leave on generations yet unborn.
Thousands of vaccines have been brought forward andnot one of them ever accomplished what was hoped for it.
No need to go into the whole bevy of these rotten, disgusting, filth concoctions—-let us briefly inspect the authentic
history of the most common of all vaccines—the putrid
cow-pus that is supposed to prevent small-pox.
Edward Jenner, who died in 1823, invented this antismall-pox vaccine. But up to the time of his death he was notcertain whether the pus from a diseased cow or the grease
from the hocks of a diseased horse was the better preventative for small-pox. He admitted, just before he died, that
his vaccine was worthless.
Rumor has it that the vaccine, which is today mixed withthe human blood, is the offspring of the original sick Jennercow. But whether it is or not is immaterial. Let us see what afrank, honest medical man learned of small-pox vaccination.
His name Charles Creighton, M A, M D, of England. Thislicensed medical man was instructed by the Encyclopedia
Britannica to look into the subject of small-pox vaccinationand to write objectively about it as the facts warranted.
Dr. Creighton delved into the work and for several years
checked through the records in all civilized countries. His

290written report was eventually printed in the Ninth Editionof that publication. But his findings about small-pox vaccination contributed to his finis. The medical heavens fell
upon him. As a medical expert he was “through”. And in
the Tenth, and all subsequent editions of the Encyclopaedia
Britannica his account is missing.
The good doctor must have realized the gravity of what
he was doing. Perhaps he sensed that this effort to tell thetruth about the small-pox vaccine folly would be his lorelei
into medical oblivion. Because he begins as follows:“It is right to say that the views expressed in the present
article diverge in many points from the opinions generally
received among medical men and must be regarded not as
an exposition of established and undisputed doctrines but
as the outcome of an independent and laborious research.”
The account covers several pages of small type. It showsthat this investigator went from horizon to horizon for his
data—all of which was damaging to the continuance ofsmall-pox vaccination. Not one thing was unearthed thatwas favorable to rotten cow-pus or the grease from the hocksof diseased horses, either as a preventative or as a cure ofsmall-pox.
As an example, Dr. Creighton shows that compulsory
vaccination became a law in England in 1854. Infant deaths,
from small-pox, rose from 380 in 1853 to 591 in 1854. The
records of the Eastern Metropolitan Hospital (Homerton,
England) tell a complete story: from its opening early in
1871 to the end of 1878— about eight years—of the 6,533
persons received as small-pox patients, 4,283 of them bore
vaccination marks, 793 admitted they had also been vaccinated but bore no marks while only 1,477 of the 6,533 had
not been vaccinated. Also, in Bavaria, in the year 1871—of the 30,742 small-pox cases reported, 29,429 had been
vaccinated. Is there any wonder that England repealed its

291

compulsory vaccination law? In addition, Dr. Creighton’s
figures indicate that in practically every small-pox epidemic
since the invention of the small-pox vaccine in 1799—full
one hundred and fifty-six years—the start was always withvaccinated victims.
It is also interesting to note that despite widespread
vaccination against small-pox, the death rate from thatdisease, proportioned to the population, is the same today—
about 18%—as in the days when there was no vaccination
whatsoever.
But merely that a vaccine fails is not the whole story.
No, there is another feature that has not been properly put
before the lay populations of the world. Medical men havenever admitted openly that vaccination to prevent mall-pox
may cause aftermath’s in the shape of scrofula, tubercle,
whooping-cough and diarrhea—but they do admit that such
poisoning of the blood stream may re-dispose a child tothese diseases—in other words, weaken such child’s resistance and make such child an easy victim for any and allof these ailments.
But here is the real menace of vaccines: Dr. Creighton
found that in 1884, more than 1,733 of the vaccinated infants
died of syphilis! With this syphilis as a definite follower ofmany vaccinations for small-pox—which no medical man
will deny—we wonder what horrible revelations may be instore for the parents who permitted the blood streams of
their youngsters to be contaminated by this untested Salk
monkey-entrails filth.
The parents of any child who comes down with Polio,
after such monkey juice inoculation, should seek redress fromthe local doctor, who administered this rotten concoction,and not overlook the laboratories which manufactured it.
The March of Dimes might also be worth consideringin this regard.

HERALD OF HEALTHNEW ENGLAND AND SALK’S OFFAL
By T. M. Schippell, N. D.
October, 1955
When the epidemic of polio hit New England in late Julyand August of is year, the befuddled public did not realizethat the medical men—the self-appointed “Guardians of the
Public Health”—never even mentioned the rushing of Salk
vaccine to the stricken area. Instead, the physicians blandly
declared that the epidemic was not an epidemic and that the
many cases of polio, which were popping up everywhere,
were just normal. Yet some communities reported—despite
all efforts to hush the news—that the incidence of polio for1955 outstripped the preceding year’s total many times over.
One community, last year, had 17 cases while this year the
total had leaped to 115—another city had only 5 cases in
1954, but this year found them with 69 cases on their hands.
Massachusetts alone, there were 94 cases in 1954—andover 1,500 in 1955. And so the figures went climbing—andthe public was fed the same old don’t worry, this is not an
epidemic” advice day after day as the medical men sought
their best to placate the alarmed parents. And while these“Guardians of the Public Health” told the Bostonians that
this polio outbreak was not “dangerous”—from the otherside of their mouths came the warning to visitors not bring
their children into eastern Massachusetts until the “situation
clarified itself.”
This monstrous double-talk was repeated over and overagain and the figures of the polio victims in New England
mounted to more than 2,000. Yet, through all, there was no
mention that a special session of the legislature should becalled and money made available to have the Salk vaccine
rushed in by airmail. The only reference made to the Salk

293

vaccine was an official “face-saving” statement that, in spiteof those unfortunate children who had been stricken with
polio during this present unfortunate situation, only 19 children—out of the thousands of youngsters who had received
inoculations of the Salk monkey-entrails juice— had comedown with the disease. And the gullible public—not having time to go into the figures—uttered thankful prayersof deliverance. Especially was this true with those parents
who had so ruthlessly permitted their youngsters to beexperimented upon with this dead monkey vaccine. This
reassuring message, by inference, was intended to show that
the Salk concoction, in this crisis, had come through withflying colors. Yes, the misleading information, given so glibly
by the medical authorities, was intended to imply that the
Salk vaccine—administered in New England last year andthis Spring—was doing a magnificent job.
Is there any wonder that we natural healing doctors areaghast at these untruthful reports which emanate from that
select citadel of medical might? Had John Q. Public delved
into those figures he would have found, doubtless much tohis consternation, that once more he had been taken for a“medical joy ride into Never Never Land.” Instead of thosesparse 19 polio cases among the Salk inoculated children
being a tremendously wee percentage of the great number ofchildren who had been given this Salk monkey-juice, those
19 cases bore exactly the same relationship—constituted
the very same percentage— as the cases of unvaccinatedvictims of polio bore to the vastly larger number of children
who had not been Salk vaccinated. In other words-just as
many children, proportionately, who had been vaccinatedwith the Salk monkey-juice, came down with polio as did
the children who were not carrying Salk’s famous vaccine
in their veins. It was all a horrible hoax!
Now, to say that the doctors in charge of that New

294

England polio situation did not know this, is to stretch credulity a little too far. To say that the doctor, on the radio,
who praised the lack of polio victims among those who
had been so ruthlessly given this Salk concoction, was notfamiliar with the statistics, is a little more than those outside
the medical profession can stomach.
But the main lesson taught by this polio epidemic in
New England is the fact that medical doctors everywhere
are now realizing that this is another day— that the glamorof the Salk discovery is wearing off—and that vaccines are
vaccines (always dangerous) and need especial care in handling. Yes, the medical men as a whole are now unwilling toback this Salk laboratory mess until the facts about it are
known and are proven beyond a shadow of a doubt. they are
unwilling to take the chance of being completely wrong inthis vaccine matter. They do not forget that several of theirmore courageous fellows were not afraid to stand up anddefy the dictates of the medical hierarchy when they told theworld that, in their opinion, the Salk vaccine was manifestly
unsafe. Now the doctors who formerly applauded Salk—arestanding silent on the sidelines waiting, waiting, waiting.
What the next move of the “hypodermic boys”—in therealm of the Salk empire—will be, is anybody’s guess. That
they will not abandon this El Dorado of skin puncturing is aforegone conclusion. But it will be interesting to watch what
their new steps will be. You may be sure that they will wanta part of the millions of dollars voted by Congress for thismonkey juice. They will not willingly abandon the fortunes
this blood contamination of youngsters will bring to them.
Nobody will be able to stay this holocaust because thepublic has been so propagandized—covering the infallibility of medical prowess-that the average M.D., in publicesteem, is now placed somewhere between the saints and the
Almighty. When such a condition exists in the world—the295

finding of plausible and acceptable excuses for the failuresof the Salk concoction rests with the mere matter of proper
selection of words that have public appeal. When the UnitedStates Government votes millions of dollars for free Salk
vaccine inoculations-and the medical men see their incomes
mounting during 1956 by thousands upon thousands ofdollars through this “skin punching technique”—what happens to the helpless little children involved means very little
to the dollar-grabbers.
I take no pleasure in bringing this sort or truth to theAmerican people. I would much rather forget that suchthings could happen. But I am dedicated to the service ofhumanity and as long as I have life, I shall say what is closest
to my heart.
Now, do not get the impression that I believe all medical
doctors are mercenary. Nothing could be further from thetruth. I know that the vast majority of medical men arehonest, trustworthy and reliable. These men give their best
efforts to mankind and while I do not agree with many of
their methods and healing ideas, I honor them for the sincere
efforts they are always making. Again, the average medical
man is a creature of organizations that are ruthless to any
practitioner who seems to have “stepped out of line”. These
corporate bodies have the power to deprive a medical manof his license, without giving him a day in court. They canthrow him out of any or all hospitals supported by the taxpayers of this great country. They can break him completely
by ruining his practice. All medical men understand vividly
the shadow under which they work. They know what they
can safely do and what they cannot do. And that is why itis the exceptional practitioner who dares stand up in public and disapprove of any action that has already received
the commendation of the medical elect—as has the Salk
vaccine. All honor to those doctors who were not afraid to296

express their doubts as to the safety of this monkey-juice
concoction. That sainted “remedy” will, in all probability,
leave its mark upon many generations yet unborn in thesame manner a small-pox vaccination leaves its lurid trailof syphilis.
It is unfortunate that the medical profession in thiscountry are not as free-spoken as are the members of the
medical fraternity in Great Britain. Over there, the Salk
vaccine received the same Hollywood send-off accorded itin this country. Yet the British doctors were not stampededby the wealth of the March of Dimes or the cajolery of
their high-up brothers in medicine. Those who realized thedangers involved with an untested, unknown, unreliable
laboratory make-shift, were quick to gain an audience andthere was no country-wide vaccination orgy that the UnitedStates was forced to endure. British doctors make sure theyknow where they are headed before they plunge into a seriesof experiments—because the Salk vaccine inoculations are
all experiments.
Since American doctors have annexed the title of“Guardians of the Public Health”, they should actually“lean over backward” in their desire to see that “their wards”
received the best that can be given them in the way of medical treatments. Making the lay population into humanguinea-pigs for rash experimentation will have its repercussions in a manner the orthodox doctor will not enjoy. And
those repercussions will come swiftly because the American
public can be fooled only just so long.
What New England needed, in its polio outbreak,
was the addition, from Great Britain, of a few of the level
headed practitioners. Those doctors would have told theunvarnished truth and would have ended the confusing double-talk on polio conditions that kept pouring out of highmedical circles.

August 1951
SERUMS AND POLIO
By Herbert M. Shelton, N.D.
(1951)
It has long been known that inoculations of all kinds frequently cause nervous diseases including paralysis. Smallpox
vaccination often results in paralysis of one side of the body.
That it also causes encephalitis lethargica (sleeping sickness)
is now well established. All vaccines and serums tend to
produce nervous diseases. Several disasters following inoculations in France and Italy have been reported in which one
feature of the victim’s illness was paralysis. When, in 1947
the question was brought up before the British Ministry of
Health as to what extent the vaccinations and inoculations
that were going on in England were responsible for poliomyelitis, the Ministry remained silent over the possibility.
By 1950, however, it attitude had changed and Mr. Bevan
agreed to consider that the matter be investigated.
In April of that year The Lancet (London medical journal) and The Medical Officer published papers revealing that
infantile paralysis had followed inoculations with diphtheria
toxoid, whooping cough vaccine and the combined diphtheria vaccine and whooping cough vaccine. These papers
revealed that there was a definite connection between the
inoculation and the paralysis that occurred within a monthof the inoculation.
The Lancet paper was published by an Australian physician, a Dr. McCloskey, who is said to be a poliomyelitis
expert. He reported from Melbourne that a complaint by
the parents of children who developed “paralytic poliomyelitis” soon after a “prophylactic inoculation” had led the
Health Department of the state of Victoria to investigate298

the “immunization” history of 375 cases of poliomyelitis
reported during the epidemic between Jan. 8, and Aug. 30,
1949. Dr. McCloskey says that out of 340 cases investigated,
31 had received “prophylactic” injections of one kind or
another within three months of development of the paralysis and that the paralysis occurred in the limb which had
been inoculated. McCloskey discovered twenty-three similarcases occurring from 3 to 12 months after inoculation and
121 cases occurring more than a year after inoculation.
The article in The Medical Officer (April 8) was by
Dennis H. Geffen, M.D., D.P.M., Medical Officer of the
London Borough of St. Pancras. It was a paper he hadread at a meeting of London Medical Officers of health theprevious October on The Incidence of Paralysis Occurringin London Children Within Four Weeks After Inoculation.
In this paper, Dr. Geffen showed that these cases had been
occurring for some time. He mentioned a Dr. Martin who
had been collecting cases “over a period of years,” and a
Dr. Gale who had found cases as far back as 1942. Geffen,
himself, had started his inquiries because there had beenreported to him in September 1949 two cases of poliomyelitis in children who had been inoculated within theproceeding two or three weeks. He found that out of 182
cases of poliomyelitis in London under five years of age
since the beginning of 1949, 32 had developed the disease
within four weeks of receiving the injection, the paralysis
developing in the particular limb of injection. In 21 of thesea combined vaccine had been used, in 8 a diphtheria toxoid, and in I case, whooping cough vaccine alone. Geffen
excluded from his list all cases of polio that had developed
more than four weeks after inoculation and all cases where
the paralysis occurred in the limb into which no injection
had been made.
Chapman Pincher, writing of these findings in the Daily

299

Express, April 10, says: “Realizing the danger of their findings in the Government diphtheria immunization campaign,
the doctors withheld publication until some cases could be
followed up over many months.” The matter finally received
a full airing in the British public press. At first, the Ministryof Hell(th) played down the whole affair and insisted thatthe risk of inoculation was “unappreciable.” Finally, however, the Ministry of Hell(th) sent a circular to medical
officers in June, after the results of a statistical investigation,suggested by Sir William Janieson had been carried out andthe findings learned. The investigation had been carried out
by Prof. A. Bradford Hill and Dr. Knowelden. These menreported in the British Medical Journal (July 1, 1950) thatin the 1949 epidemic of poliomyelitis in England and Wales“cases of paralysis were occurring which were associatedwith inoculation procedures carried out within the month
preceding the recorded date of onset of the illness.”
At first the British authorities were inclined to believethat all the danger resided in the use of the mixed vaccines,
but when it was shown statistically that there is as muchdanger associated with the diphtheria toxoid alone or thewhooping cough vaccine alone as with the two combined,
they were forced to abandon this position. Sir John Charles,
Chief Medical Officer, sent out an official letter warning
medical officers of the possible danger and admitting thatthe paralysis referred to had been associated with diphtheria
toxoid alone. The Medical Officers were told to use their own
judgement as to suspending inoculation programmes in theevent of an unusual number of cases of infantile paralysis
in their area. The Department of Hell(th) of Scotland sentout a similar circular. The medical officers of Birmingham,
Glasgow and a number of other British towns suspended
inoculation for several months from July.
These findings indicate that inoculations given at the300periphery of a nerve may result in severe and lasting damage at the center. The tendency of the investigators is tothink of the chief danger as coming within the first fourweeks after inoculation, although there is no reason given
for thinking that full recovery of the nerve centre always
occurs within this period. Indeed, no proof is offered toshow that complete recovery ever occurs. The Australianphysician, McCloskey, reported cases occurring more thana year after inoculation. What is to prevent an inoculation
given in the fall of this year being instrumental in producing paralysis in a child at the end of the summer of next
year? (I would suggest a study of these cases in the light of
Speransky’s findings.)
One physician showed that these post-inoculation casesof poliomyelitis have been developing from the very beginning of the inoculation programs. Such cases will be difficult
to investigate statistically after the lapse of so much time, but
if the inoculations are definitely associated with the occurrence of many cases of polio today, there is every reason
to think that they have been so associated from the start ofthe inoculation practice. It seems to me that the more that islearned about the evils of inoculations, the more evil inoculations are shown to be. To merely suspend an inoculation
campaign for a season and then resume the evil is hardly aremedy for the many evils that flow from inoculations.
The British Ministry of Hell(th) did not want to believethat their precious inoculations were in any way responsible
for paralysis, because, as they said to the press: “it would bea tragedy if people stopped having their children immunizedagainst diphtheria.” If they were a real Ministry of Health,instead of the farce that they are, they would know that there
are helpful ways of assuring the health of children, that there
is no such thing as immunity, and that harming the organisms of children is not the way to prevent disease in them.

301

As an aftermath of these observations this year the
Health Department in New York City suspended inoculating (they called It “immunizing”) infants and children
against diphtheria and whooping cough at its 76 child-healthstations from June 15, to Oct. 1, which it calls the “polio
season.” The Department, which expressed its intention ofrequesting private physicians to follow its example, madeknown its action to New York City’s five county medical
societies.
The news account, as published in the New York Times,
June 12, 1951, says: “The step was taken on the basis ofa preliminary report on a research study started here last
March, when findings published in medical journals byEnglish and Australian scientists came to the attention ofhealth authorities in this country.
“The foreign studies, which now appear to be substantiated by the health department survey, indicated that ofchildren who contracted paralytic polio a considerable proportion had been immunized within the previous monthwith diphtheria toxoid, whooping cough vaccine, and thatthe site of the paralysis was more apt to be in the limb
injected.”
The contentions of Hygienists, made many times during
the past twenty years, that vaccines and serums are among
the chief causes of poliomyelitis, is thus verified, but the“scientists” (by which is simply meant, medical men who givethe serums and vaccines) do not admit this to be the fact.
They say instead, as quoted in the Times article, “It must be
made clear that we know immunization is not the cause oreven a cause of poliomyelitis. Investigators, among whomwere specialists of the Department of Health, have foundindications that during the polio season persons who havebecome ill with polio and who have been recently immunized against diphtheria or whooping cough may develop

302paralysis in the injected limb.” These are the words of John F.
Mahoney, M.D. Commissioner of Hell(th), New York City.
Mahoney says that the Hell(th) Department was simply
adopting the same procedure in regard to “immunization”
that it has followed for a number of years in regard to tonsillectomies. He said: “For a number of years it has been
it has been known that while the removal of tonsils andadenoids does not cause poliomyelitis, children who havetheir adenoids or tonsils removed or have other mouth operations during the polio season are more apt to develop asevere form of poliomyelitis than children on whom suchoperations have not been performed.
“Therefore, the Department of Health and the medical
profession generally advises against such operations during
the months when polio is most prevalent.
We are doing the same thing in regard to immunizationfor exactly the same reasons: since investigation has showna probable relationship between immunization during thepolio season and the localization of the paralysis, we are
postponing immunization until the danger is over.”The Times article adds that it had learned that theAmerican Public Health Association’s Ad Hoc Committee
on the Relationship of the Incidence of Poliomyelitis andRecent Immunization is in agreement with the action of theHell(th) Department. The Committees report, which was tohave been published the following week in The American
Journal of Public Health, says that although further studies
are imperative, “the data so far available would suggest that,in the face of an abnormal prevalence of poliomyelitis in agiven locality, antigen inoculations may well be postponed
until after the subsidence of the abnormal prevalence.”
The Report also says that “recent published and unpublished data strongly suggests that an individual who develops
poliomyelitis within a month after receipt of an injection

303

of antigen, or possibly of some other material, shows anincreased frequency of paralysis in the extremity into which
the injection has been given. There are also suggestions thatamong the reported cases of polio are cases which would nothave been clinically diagnosed as polio at all if their (recent)inoculation had not brought them into the paralytic group.”
On the following day, June 13, the State Department
of Hell(th) of New York, issued a statement to the press inwhich it said that this proneness to development of paralysis
follows all injections of diphtheria toxoid and anti-whooping cough vaccine. This means that all injections of any
substance whatsoever, are harmful and, if they are not thedirect cause of the disease that follows, as Mahoney insists,they are determining and complicating factors that must be
reckoned with in any study of the cause of these diseases.
It has always been the assumption of the medical profession that they could inject their so-called “immunizing”
substances into the bodies of old and young, that this would
produce “immunity” and that there the matter would end.
It is now quite obvious, even to the members of the medical
profession, that there the matter does not end. Eighty or
more years ago, Herbert Spencer, writing of vaccination,
showed that “there the matter does not end,” when people
are vaccinated against smallpox. It was shown years ago, afact recorded by no less a medical authority than Sir William
Osler, that serum injections damage the germ plasm, theresults showing up in the second and third generations.
It does not really matter whether the vaccines and serums
are the cause of poliomyelitis, or merely complicating factors,
the damage is there, and it is folly to think that the body can berendered more resistant to any so-called disease by seriously
impairing it. It should be noted that the actual pathologicaldevelopment that results in paralysis is in the brain and spinal
cord, not in the limb. The destruction of the nerve center is304the reason for the paralysis. Inoculating a child in the arm
and rendering the nerve center more likely to be destroyedmeans that the damage is done far removed from the pointof injection. As there is no means of controlling this distantdamage, nor of localizing it, they have no means of knowing
what other serious developments follow in the wake of their
ill-advised pollution of the human blood stream.
By omitting the inoculations during the summer months,
when polio is most prevalent (it has been reported in thearctic regions and cases in this country have been reported
in Winter), may have the effect of reducing the number ofcases of polio and it may reduce the amount of paralysis, but to resume the inoculations in the Fall and continue
them through the Winter and Spring, may simply renderother “diseases,” such as pneumonia, “influenza” measles,
whooping cough, scarlet fever, diphtheria, etc., much worseand build serious complications in these diseases. How canthey confine the evil effects of these injections of various
kinds to poliomyelitis?
It will be noted that the Report of the American Public
Health Association’s committee states that published andunpublished data so far collected indicate that many casesthat are reported as polio would not have been so reported
if prior inoculation had not resulted in the development ofparalysis in these cases. This is to say, had these children
not been inoculated a short time prior to becoming ill, theywould not have become paralyzed. Have we not declared
for many years that the medical profession is composed ofpast masters of the art of producing pathology? If part ofthe paralysis seen in these cases is admittedly due to treatment given prior to the development of disease, how muchof the rest of it is due to treatment given during the courseof the illness? Are medical treatments responsible for theparalysis? I would answer this question in the affirmative305and challenge the profession to produce cases of paralysis
that have developed under non-medical care.
When wholesale deaths follow an orgy of inoculations,
it is customary to blame the deaths on faulty serum. As
an example of this, there were the large number of deaths
reported in Japan in December, 1949 following inoculation
with diphtheria anti-toxin On Dec 30, the press reported 64
deaths and 900 ill from the inoculations The inoculations
were halted, while the serum was being investigated. I do
not know how many more of the 900 who were ill also died,nor how many of them were left with serious after effects.
The press did not find this matter to be “news.”
But all deaths from inoculations and all serious disease
resulting from these inoculations are not due to “faulty
serums.” On the contrary, in every orgy of inoculations, asin the army, many serious troubles arise and deaths are often
reported. In these instances, “faulty serum” is not blamed—
only when several deaths and much serious sickness follow
do they find the serum to be “faulty.” But all inoculations
give rise to troubles ranging all the way from slight, transient
trouble to instantaneous death from anaphylaxis. In many
instances, serious organic impairment has resulted that has
been permanent.
Despite all of this injury and danger, parents might bejustified in taking a chance with the health and life of theirchildren, did the inoculations actually prevent the diseases
against which they are directed. But there is not a shredof unequivocal evidence that any vaccine or serum everprevents any disease. There is no justification for parents
subjecting their children to the risks inherent in inoculationsand vaccinations and there is certainly no justification forresort to compulsion in the use of these vaccines and serums.
Compulsory inoculation and vaccination is a form of tyranny that sooner or later, mankind must destroy.

DR. SHELTON’S HYGIENIC REVIEWTHE CRIME AT HOUSTON
May, 1955
The scene was a room in Houston, Texas. It was a temporary “clinic” set up for the purpose of experimenting on agreat mass of hapless and helpless children. It was but oneof eight such “clinics” that had been set up in the city. The
room was filled with children and their frightened parents,
who had “voluntarily” brought their children for the experiment. The children ranged from toddlers barely past theirfirst birthday to six-year-olds, who brought their “comic”
books or listened as their parents told them “children’s stories.” In the room where the children were being tortured byneedles being pushed into them and through which a serum
was inoculated into them, there were cries of pain and fear.
Parents of the frightened children attempted to still theirfears and stop their cries with “soothing words.”
What was it all about? Why were the children being thus
tormented? What were they afraid of ? Why were they having needles stuck into them? The answer is, they were being
used as guinea pigs in a mass experiment conducted by agang of voodoo priests whom the newspapers referred to as“scientists.” Headed by William D. Hammon, a professor ofsomething or other in the University of Pennsylvania, thevoodoo practitioners were inoculating the children with ablood fraction which they call gamma globulin and which,they said, contains “disease-fighting anti-bodies.” This was
being done, not to prevent poliomyelitis, for they acknowledge that the serum will not prevent polio, but in the hopethat those children who developed polio subsequent to inoculation, would not become paralyzed. Hammon “stressed
the fact that gamma globulin cannot prevent polio,” butthat he believes, from tests made on monkeys, (I assume307

that he means the monkeys of the lower order, not the ones
that were inoculating the children) it can prevent paralysis.
Thirty-five thousand children were to be used in thetest. Half of them were being inoculated with the “gamma
globulin,” the other half were being inoculated with an“ineffective substance” that resembled gamma globulin.
This, said Hammon, is the only way to test the theory thatparalysis can be prevented by the blood fraction. A previous
test, using 5,768 children of Provo, Utah, made last year,
was not on a big enough scale to be “conclusive.” A bigger
test was needed, and Houston was chosen as the laboratoryin which to use the human guinea pigs.
Last year we had a physician here in Texas to inoculate
a lot of children with anti-rabies serum on the absurd theory that it would prevent polio. Last year, also, the gamma
globulin was tested on a large number of children in a midWestern state. Now comes the news from Sacramento, Calif.,
dated July 24, 1952 that fifty children in the Sonoma State
Home (presumably orphans who have nobody to protect
them from the state and the medical gangsters) are being fed
a “special kind of chocolate milk containing a virus which“scientists” hope will prevent polio. Frank Tallman, state
mental hygiene (?) director, said in a report to Governor
Warren (a man who dared to aspire to the presidency) thatthe milk diet is the key part of an experiment aimed at finding means of preventing polio.
The rascals who are conducting this experiment selected“100 children who were found to have no naturally built
immunity to polio.” Why do newspapers continue to dignify
men of this stripe with the title “scientists”? Why do they
not rather expose the scoundrels for what they are—recklessexperimenters who toy with human life as though it werethe life of a guinea pig?
These are the mass experiments that are being carried308

out or that have been carried out during the past two years
on children in this country that have made the headlines.
There is no way to tell how many other such experiments
are going on or have been carried out that have been andare being kept secret. The children of America are being
freely used as guinea pigs and the parents of America seemto be indifferent to the whole matter. What has becomeof the sense of responsibility that parents are supposed tofeel towards their children? Where is the love that parents
are traditionally supposed to have for their children? Is ittrue that modern American parents would sacrifice theirchildren to a modern Moloch as did the parents of ancient
Carthage; or that they would throw their babies in the pathof the Juggernaught as did the parents of India? Let no one
deny that they will do this, for do we not see them sacrificing their children to the superstitions and hallucinations of
medical idiots?
Why was Houston chosen for this mass experiment? It
was stated that Houston was picked because of the high rateof polio there, but this may not be the whole truth. It may
be that the high rate of polio in Houston was due to the factthat the city had been chosen for the test. Before parents
can be induced to submit their children to the dangers of
inoculation in this manner, and especially before they canbe induced to permit their children to be used for purely
experimental purposes, they must first be frightened outof their wits. There is nothing like an epidemic to frighten
ignorant people. It is not probable that more than one thirdof the cases diagnosed as polio in Houston were polio. But
this fact is not known to the parents of that city. Parents are
as easily frightened by false diagnoses as by correct ones.
The epidemic at Houston may have been staged because
Houston had been secretly picked as the place for the test.
The manner in which Houston parents crowded into309

the inoculation centers with their children and the readinesswith which they submitted their children to the experimentindicates, not alone the abject ignorance of parents, butalso the fear that was in them, as the physicians and boardof health of that city had built up a synthetic epidemic forthat very purpose.
The plan of the experimenters was to inoculate 35,000
children—half of them with gamma globulin, which it was
hoped would prevent paralysis; the other half with gelatin,
which they referred to as an “ineffective substitute.” Thechildren who were to get the “ineffective substitute” were
to be “controls.” But many frightened parents in Houston
refused to wait and see if the experiment was a success. They
refuse to take a chance on not getting the gamma globulin
for their children. They took their children to private physicians and paid to have them inoculated. Oh, yes, the serum
was available and for sale and so were physicians (most physicians, in fact) who will administer it for a fee, even though
it is not yet known to have any value. The manufacturers
and the physicians are in a hurry to reap their profits, forthey know that at the conclusion of the test, they may not
be able to sell it even to the most frightened individual.
According to a July 27 report from Houston, but 33,000
children were used in the test. This means that so manyof the frightened parents went to private physicians andhad their children inoculated with gamma globulin, rather
than risk having them get the “ineffective substance,” thatthe experimenters did not get the expected 35,000 children
out to the experimental centers. The frightened parents,
thinking, in their ignorance, that the serum would preventthe disease, or at least prevent paralysis, and knowing that
if they took their children to the experimental clinics theystood but a fifty-fifty chance of getting gamma globulin,
paid for the inoculations and thus made certain that their310

children did not receive a shot of gelatin. Thus the expected35,000 guinea pigs did not materialize.
Not all of the parents of Houston were as “scientifically” minded as Robert N. Smaistria, of that city, who said:“I’m willing to do anything to help prevent paralysis—in mychildren and in all children.” Actually, he was a very frightened man, who did not know whether his child received
the supposed protective serum, or the “ineffective” substitute—the “harmless gelatin.” It is never harmless to inject
any foreign substance into the blood stream, and gelatin,a foreign protein, is certainly not harmless, but the use of
the phrase “harmless gelatin” in with the gamma globulin,
carries the implication that gamma globulin is harmless. In
the same way, the statement that half of the children usedas guinea pigs would receive the serum and the other half
would receive a substance implied that the serum is effective.
Indeed, the effectiveness is taken for granted, even before
it is tested.
By June 30, thousands of parents in Houston were
demanding the serum for their children, but the experimenters could give them no guarantee that their children would
receive the serum and not the gelatin, so the parents went
to their family physicians, who, always willing to oblige, fora fee, gave them the shots. They reaped a financial harvest
while the publicity was flooding the papers, even though
they were well aware that there is not a shred of evidence
to lead to the belief that the gamma globulin serum will
prevent polio.
Hammond complained that the inoculating of children by private physicians was reducing the number ofchildren available for “field study.” But parents were taking
no “chances.” If they took their children to the Hammondclinics, they ran a fifty-fifty chance of getting the “ineffective substance,” and they wanted their children to get the311

“protective” gamma globulin. Hammond was interested ina “controlled experiment,” parents were interested in saving
their children from the jaws of the dreaded monster, polio.
There is also the possibility that parents whose children weretaken to the clinic, fearing that their little guinea pigs got
the gelatin instead of the globulin, might take them to physicians and have them given the “real medicine,” in whichcase they would have no value to the “field study.” Therefore,
parents who submitted their children to the experiment were
urged not to go to physicians and have them given gamma
globulin. The experimenters said in effect to them: “Webelieve that the gamma globulin will prevent the paralysisof polio and we know that the gelatin will not, but we want
you to take a chance with your child. Don’t give him gamma
globulin; be content with the gelatin. Don’t spoil our test
for the sake of your child.”
On hand at the opening of the ten days’ orgy of inoculating was another voodoo priest, the Rev. Thomas Summers,
rector of the St. John the Divine Episcopal Church andpresident of the Houston Council of Churches, who“expressed the hope of each of the silent, tense parents”
when he said: “We pray, oh God, that the scourge of polio
may be removed.” That should have settled it! When two of
the three modern branches of shamanism combine to makewar upon the demon of polio, this demon should seek thetall timber.
I would call the attention of those of my readers who
may have been so misled in the past as to contribute to the“March of Dimes” fund that, this orgy of human vivisection
was financed by a grant of $500,000 supplied by the National
Foundation for Infantile Paralysis. From financing experiments on rats and monkeys, this Foundation has turned tofinancing experiments on children. At least they have to pay
for the rats and monkeys, whereas, they can frighten parents

312into contributing their children without cost.
Blood donors will be happy to learn that their donations
are being used for many worthy purposes. Hammond statedthat the gamma globulin used in the polio experiment is thesame as that used in measles and that it is obtained fromblood collected by the American Red Cross from donors allover the country. Thus Clara Barton’s organization (one sherepented ever having formed) is revealed as being in all ways
a stooge of organized voodooism. It serves its adopted master well, the very thing that caused Clara Barton to express
the wish that she had never founded the organization. For
Clara Barton was a Hygienist.
The gamma globulin is referred to by Hammond andthe newspapers as “medicine,” that is, a “healing agent.”
Not only it is being used as a “prophylactic agent” (a preventive), and this would not be a “healing agent,” but there
is absolutely no evidence so far that it has either preventive
or healing powers. Indeed, there is no such thing as a healing agent. Drugs, serums, vaccines, heal nothing. Medical
men are not healers, hence they are wrongly branded when
they are called medical men. There are no medicines andthe practice of “medicine” is not the practice of a “healingart.” They have surrounded themselves and then practices
with a terminology that is utterly false.
On July 27 it was stated in a news report from Houstonthat some of the children used in the test had already developed polio, but it was not known whether these children
had received gamma globulin or the “ineffective gelatin.” To
make the test more sensational the man from the Pittsburgh
University who directed the test in Houston sent all records
to New York City and had them locked in a safe where they
will remain until January 1953. So, it will not be known until
these records are examined some time in 1953, how many ofeach group of children developed polio. “The results of the313

test won’t be known for months, probably early in 1953,” so“a team of experts (ex-spurts) will remain here (in Houston)through the polio season into the fall to check on children
inoculated.”
If it is decided to make the serum “effective” this can bedone by diagnosis and statistics. All that will be needed will
be to diagnose as something else large numbers of cases thatare now diagnosed as polio. In those children receiving the“non-effective” substance the same cases may still be diagnosed polio. This is the way in which smallpox vaccination
is upheld. If the patient has been vaccinated it is chickenpox,
if he has not been vaccinated it is smallpox.
Or, it is always possible, to assume, as in the case ofsmallpox vaccination, where polio does follow the inoculation, that the inoculation was not “successful.” It can also be
claimed, as indeed, it is already hinted, that if the new serum
does not prevent polio it at least makes the disease lighter.
The same claim is made for smallpox vaccine, it lessens theseverity of the “attack.”
It will also be possible, as in the case of typhoid and“paratyphoid,” to discover that there are two or more polio
viruses and that the serum protects from only one of these.
Indeed, the medical classifiers have already determined that
there are “three types of polio.”
How long will the alleged “immunity” last? Will the children have to be inoculated each summer or twice a year? How
often will they have to be given “booster shots?” One physician says the “shots” must be repeated every four to six weeks.
Which children among those that are inoculated withthe serum would have had polio if they had not been inoculated? What effect will the injection of the “non-effective”
substance have in producing polio in the children thatreceive it? Statistics based on such uncertainties must be
equally as uncertain.

314

A tragic situation grew out of all the publicity the
gamma globulin experiment in Houston received. The
ignorant and frightened public began to demand the inoculation of their children with the serum without waiting tosee how the Houston experiment came out. Here in the cityof San Antonio, nearly two hundred miles from the sceneof the Houston crime, the physicians were deluged withdemands for the gamma globulin. Although many of themwere honest enough to warn parents that it was but “a shotin the dark,” and that they were “buying a pig in a poke,”the frightened parents demanded the inoculation for theirchildren anyway. Told that there is not, as yet, any proof
that the gamma globulin will prevent polio, they insistedon having it for their children.
One pediatrician who was getting an average of ten
calls a day for the inoculation said that, parents “seem tothink it would ease their conscience should their children
get polio. They can at least say they have done what they
could.” The abject ignorance that this statement reflects is
not altogether the fault of the parents. These parents havetrusted their medical advisers and have been mis-educatedby them. The fact is that, several local physicians were giving their own children gamma globulin with the same idea
in mind. They are as ignorant as lay parents. One pediatrician recommended “shots” only for those children who
were “exposed” to polio. If the ignoramus ever stops longenough to ask the simple question: How was the first caseof polio “exposed” to polio, he’ll grab his hollow needle andstart inoculating every child in sight.
One physician who estimated that he was inoculating six
children daily, asked: “When mothers come in and ask for it
for their children, what else can we do but give it to them?”
Behold the degradation of “medical science!” It is reduced
to the base position of a mere panderer to the ignorant315

wishes of the frightened layman. The physician is no longer
the trusted and expert adviser of the people— he merely
keeps a supply of convalescent juice on hand and sells it towhomsoever comes to buy, just as the dry goods salesman
sells any kind of cloth his customers want. The mother prescribes, the physician merely carries out her orders.
What can they do? They have frightened the wits out ofthe people and they have paraded their serum in the publicpress in the most dramatic manner for days and weeks. They
created the demand and then, with an air of hurt innocence,
they ask: “What can we do when the people ask for it?” I
could tell the damned rascals what they could do, but I haveno idea that there is enough honesty and self respect left in
the profession to cause them to do it. This thing is greatly
increasing their incomes and they are not going to quit it.
It is significant that the drug stores were well suppliedwith sufficient gamma globulin to meet the demand. Small
vials containing two cc of the serum retailed at $6.75 a vial
and the sales were described as “heavy.” The manufacturers
and sellers of the voodoo concoction were ready and willingto cash in on the publicity before the ultimate failure of theexperiment becomes known. Every physician in the country
is well aware that the gamma globulin will not prevent polio.
But they justify their pumping of this soup into the bodies
of children on the grounds, to quote the words of one San
Antonio pediatrician, that “We don’t want to support any
useless means and we don’t want to overlook the possibilities
of its success.”
The gamma globulin is not only expensive, but it isgiven according to the weight of the child. One pediatrician
explained that the “cost for a child who weighed 100 pounds
would almost be prohibitive and the shot would have to be
renewed in three or four weeks.” Even before the results ofthe experiment are known, these men already know how

316often they must renew the “immunization.” What a lucrative source of income! Give every child expensive shots of
gamma globulin every three or four weeks throughout thesummer months, nation wide, and the physicians can forget
about the remainder of their practices. Who would want tofritter away his time looking after typhoid cases or operating
for appendicitis or bothering about oil wells, when fifty toa hundred children a day come to the office to get gamma
globulin shots?
Fear was expressed that the gamma globulin supply
might too soon be exhausted but the manufacturing drug
houses and the local wholesale distributing firms, knowing what the publicity would do for business, had provided
against this contingency in advance. They had a plentiful
supply on hand in San Antonio. On July 4, a spokesman
for the wholesale drug firms of San Antonio stated to thepress that these firms had plenty in stock. The demand forit had increased four to five times since the outbreak of
the Houston crime, but there was no shortage. Such is theforesight of good business men.

DR. SHELTON’S HYGIENIC REVIEWBEWARE OF THE POLIO VACCINE
Leaflet issued by The National Anti-Vaccination League,
London.
September 1955
(1) You need not have your children inoculated with polio
vaccine unless you want this inoculation done.
Every parent is free to refuse it, and the Ministry of
Health says that no child will be inoculated without theexpress permission of its parents.
(2) The Salk polio vaccine which is to be used in thiscountry does not protect from paralytic polio. In the trial ofthe vaccine in America in 1954, 71 children who had been
fully inoculated with it developed paralytic polio.
(3) The vaccine may have the power to start polio.
During five weeks after Salk Vaccine was launched on theworld by the National Foundation for Infantile Paralysis
in America, and, at the time, wrongly declared to be safe,
potent and efficient, at least 112 inoculated children developed polio and two-thirds of the cases were paralytic polio
There were 6 deaths At first it was said that the children had
already got polio before they were inoculated; then it wassaid that the inoculation aroused polio which was alreadythere and caused it to develop; and finally it was believedthat in a great many cases it was live virus remaining accidentally in the vaccine which caused the cases of polio.
(4) Vaccinated children in America are believed tohave given polio to their parents. 149 such cases have beenreported with 6 deaths; the first two cases were 18-months
old babies who became ill after the inoculation and weretaken to the hospital. They recovered, and on returninghome their parents developed polio. The Denver Medical
Officer of Health calls this “satellite” polio. The Franklin

318

Lakes Board of Education, New Jersey, asked 8 children
who were given the Salk anti-polio vaccine to stay away fromschool for the rest of the term. Parents of other children
were afraid they might be polio “carriers.” (Daily Telegraph,
June 21st, 1955).
(5) The Salk Polio Vaccine is grown on monkey kidney
tissue. It is said not to protect for longer than five months,
if it protects at all, and an eminent physiologist was quoted
by the Manchester Guardian as saying that “if it means thata child should be reinoculated at frequent intervals with apreparation derived from monkey kidney ‘it is terrifying in
its possibilities.’ Among them is the risk of the child developing sensitivity to some of the ingredients of the vaccine.”(6) Every inoculation has caused serious illness andnot a few deaths. There are official records of 1,700 deaths
from vaccination against smallpox, and such deaths are still
being recorded every year, many of them being deaths ofbabies. In recent months babies have developed encephalitis
from anti-yellowfever vaccine, as has been admitted in the
Bulletin of the Ministry of Health.
There are 3 deaths on record from tuberculosis caused
by B.C.G. inoculation. Inoculation against diphtheria has
activated paralytic poliomyelitis. Past history of all thevaccines and serums justifies fear that the new vaccine will
damage health and may cause death.
(7) Two Medical Research Council doctors stated in
Picture Post, May 7th, 1955 that the risk of contracting
poliomyelitis is 1 in 25,000. The vast majority of children
are never in any danger of contracting this disease. To goout of your way to give a child an inoculation that may
cause illness, and even give it the disease you wish to guard
against, when the likelihood of that child getting that disease naturally is so small as to be almost negligible is theheight of folly.

319

(8) To keep your child healthy carry out the rules ofhealth. See that it has proper food, and plenty of fresh air,that it is warmly clothed in winter, avoiding exposure todamp and chills, and see that it gets enough sleep. Make surethat the water supply is pure, and that the house is properly
ventilated, and avoid overcrowding.
(9) The manufacture and testing of the polio vaccine
causes gross cruelty to animals, chiefly monkeys.

DR. SHELTON’S HYGIENIC REVIEWHYGIETHICSSALK VACCINE—MILESTONE OR MILLSTONE
By Therese Gay
August, 1955
Just about a month ago today the American public waspresented with what was publicized as one of the great milestones of medical history, the Salk Anti-Polio Vaccine. At
the time I got out an article on the contrived look of theunprecedented promotion of the new vaccine. Through an
unfortunate set of circumstances it never did get to San
Antonio to meet the deadline.
The article was entitled “Salk Vaccine, Science orEnterprise.” It dealt more with the peculiar conditions
surrounding the unveiling of this monument of medical
advance than with the vaccine itself—the soap-opera props
employed to put it over, how it was timed to fall on theanniversary of FDR’s death in melodramatic fashion to playon the sympathy and sentiment, for whatever it was worth
to the Purse of the American people through the March ofDimes collection campaign. I touched on various aspectsof the great hoax that was being perpetrated by the seeming
collusion between profit and progress; how NBC jumped
the gun and broke the release time by an hour; how halfa dozen giant pharmaceutical houses had it ready for themarket even before the fateful V day when the great menof science, medicine and the press were invited to hear the
miracle pronouncement that polio had been conquered.
I spoke of how parents were fooled about what was shot
into their children in order to make the 1954 testing program
effective; how statistics had been handled to make a goodcase for the vaccine; how medical societies throughout theland were cautioning physicians against profiteering and321black-marketing; how the research wizards had studiously
avoided any approach or premise that even hinted at causal
relationships; how the 25 million said to have been spent on
its research program had been mulct from the American
public through the Polio Foundation’s collection campaigns,
and how that self-same public was the last to be let in on
the secret; how the favored drug houses had invested many
millions in new equipment and materials long before thesafety of the vaccine had been publicly established, andhow they were outspoken in their expectations of increasing their investments tenfold before the year was out, witheven brighter prospects for the years to come; how politicians, preachers, physicians, professional publicists, thepress, and the rest of the army of panderers of the public
good all joined in the hosannas and hailed the new Messiah
of Medicine, Jonas Salk, M.D., as one of the great benefactors of mankind, etc., etc. And, like any self-respecting
Hygienist just must, when confronted with such a stupendous spectacle of studied scientific stupidity, I dealt in a
bit of prophecy,—yes, even at the risk of being labeled aHygienic crank.
The prophecy was to the effect that all that glitters is
not gold; that in the present instance there wasn’t enoughknown about the vaccine to warrant or justify the universal
inoculation program that was to follow the announcement,
enthusiasm to the contrary notwithstanding; that in myhumble Hygienist opinion the worst was yet to come.
Well, the prophecy was borne out, but all too soon—andwith a directness of action, or should I say reaction, thatin a couple of weeks the fait accompli was threatened with
fiasco, and the flexuous mind of the press was forced to turnthe ferris-wheel of its imagination in all directions to stave
off the stench that threatened to wreck the whole enterprise. The unexpected occurrence of a high percentage of322

afflictions and several deaths threw the whole program into atailspin of chaos and confusion. Frankly the whole country
was scared out of its wits—and with good reason. In fact,
the first good reason it had shown. The government called
off the mass inoculations. Towns, cities and states were in adither of indecision. The parents who early consented andwhose children had already been given their initial shots
were living in a vacuum of panic and dread anxiety. The
President stepped in, Congressmen and Senators started
calling for an investigation. Salk, his colleagues and government officials were locked in long hours of conference
to get at the bottom of the bottom that had just fallen outof their ill-founded dreams.
The press had a field day of headlines that was unprecedented even in its own mottled career. Reevaluation became
the theme of the delay. One of the vaccine producing laboratories on the west coast was made the face-saving scapegoat.
The nobby Mrs. Hobby was run through the grinder forbeing asleep at the switch and even threatened with Luce-ing
her job. Errors in production, errors in government control
of testing, errors in the type of preservative employed werescreeched across the nation’s news wires. All kinds of errors
were put forth except the basic error of the vaccine itself.
The rest is all history—the kind you buy at the newsstands every day—the kind the public has been educated toretain only until the next edition comes out—the kind thathas little effect on the public consciousness because it isn’t
allowed to set long enough to take hold.
It is now a month and millions of headlines away. At
the risk of being called a boasting “I-told-you-so” I could
very well use my first article and thus spare myself the toilof the present one. But in the light of subsequent happenings, another attempt to expose this newest affront to humanhealth and the dignity of the individual is justified—so here323

goes—I’ll fire away again and let the shots fall where they will.
First, let us break the word Poliomyelitis down. Polio isa prefix meaning gray. Myel means the spinal cord. And, as
we all know by various experiences with it, itis means inflammation. Put them all together and they spell Poliomyelitis,
an inflammation of the grey matter of the cord. Current
medical belief holds that this inflammatory condition of
the spine is brought about by a group of three viruses thatare thought to invade the human body through portal
openings in the mouth and the nose, and through cuts andwounds. After they (the viruses) gain entrance to the bodythey spread along the nerve fibers to different parts of thecentral nervous system. Specifically, the paralyzing type ofpolio is considered an acute infection of the anterior hornsof the gray matter of the spinal cord, causing such damage and destruction to the nerve cells that early paralysis
develops, the extent and character of which is determinedby the particular site of involvement and the number ofcells attacked. It may affect a single muscle, a single limb
or the entire body. The viruses are supposedly spread bycontact with discharges from the nose, throat and bowels
of diseased persons, or carriers of the virus. The incubation
period is said to range from 4 to 18 days. It strikes in thesummer and the fall, and generally hits its peak between
August and September.
The respiratory centers are often affected as a complication of the earlier symptoms, rendering the breathingmechanism incapable of functional movement. This is calledbulbar polio and its victims are kept alive only by the use of
the iron lung, a mechanical device that substitutes for thenormal diaphragmatic movements. The greatest incidence
is amongst children, hence the name infantile paralysis. But
it also attacks adults as well. Pregnant women have a better
than average susceptibility to the disease. The symptoms

324

that precede the onset of paralysis are fever, sore throat,headache, vomiting, fatigue, stiffness of the neck, constipation, diarrhea and, in some cases, pain in the extremities, (tothe Hygienist, as vague an assortment of diagnostic factors
as one could ever hope to meet up with.)
The inability to move the affected parts of the body is
due to the destruction of the particular nerve cells related
to the motor activity of those parts. The virus is commonly
excreted in the stools for six to eight weeks after the disease
has struck. It is said, too, that the virus may be found in thethroat for a short time at the outset of the illness.
The usual procedure followed when polio struck a
community was to close down the swimming pools and theplaygrounds and, where the disease became widespread,to close down the schools as well. Those afflicted were isolated for two to four weeks. There was no drug or serum
considered specifically effective until the advent three years
ago of gamma globulin, a human blood fraction containing antibodies. There wasn’t much in the way of treatment
until Sister Kenny came along with her original concept ofwater-cure methods for the relief of pain and specialized
physiotherapy for the restoration of movement, whereverit was deemed possible.
It is believed that there are many more cases unreported,due to mildness of symptoms and wrong diagnoses, thanthere are cases reported. The disease is relatively new to theUnited States though it is said to be ancient in origin. It was
not recognized here until 1894. Today it is found in all partsof the world, and temperate climates resembling our own
favor it. It is not a disease of the impoverished nor of thewell-to-do. Yet there appears to be a parallel between therising living standards of the nation and the ever-mounting
yearly epidemics of the crippling disease. The first epidemic
took place in New York City in 1907. The 1916, 1931, 1949

325

and 1952 epidemics reached the greatest proportions. In a
few short years the disease changed from one of rarity to
one of epidemic yearly recurrence and the medical mind has
been in a state of desperate and constant search for somesolution in the form of an immunizing agent.
Research was the answer. But research took money, andlots of it. Destiny came to the rescue in the unfortunate affliction of our late President, Franklin Delano Roosevelt. This
circumstance touched off the organization of the National
Foundation for Infantile Paralysis and the resulting annual
March-of-Dimes campaigns, which have collected 270 million dollars in the 17 years since their inception. Thesemonies are purportedly used equitably for alleviating thediscomfort of polio’s suffering victims and for the deemed
research necessary for its conquest.
Here indeed was big business! And, as everyone who isn’t
living in a cloud knows, big business has to produce. Research
indeed was the answer. So—out of courage and generosity,
out of sympathy and sentiment, out of tender-hearted pity
for the poor suffering kiddies who annually fell victim tothis modern plague, the people (sic!) determined that polio
had to be licked and that American scientists were the ones
to do it. Fancy science going chauvinistic! But scientists are
ever beset with their own unsolved problems and are everwary of taking on new ones. So science had to be organized. Thus the grant-in-aid was thought up and, believe
you me, big business never conceived of a better stunt toshake some of the lead-thargy out of the pants of the lazytinkerers that comprise the great majority of researchers.
Especially is this true when renewal time approaches. At
that time there’s an aura of or else in the air that gives amagic spurt to scientific inquiry. Now, organization spells
efficiency. So, all the threads of the polio research fabric had
to be pulled together—that is, all the threads that fit into the326color scheme, thus automatically ruling out all undesirable
hues and shades (of though:).
Well, they researched to the very beginning of polio in
this country, and found there was nothing until 1909, when
Doctor Karl Landsteiner proved that polio was caused bya virus and not by the bacteria the medical profession had
long sought in vain to find. Landsteiner discovered that thisvirus could grow only in the spinal nervous tissues of monkeys or humans. (Maybe this was the answer to Jekyll andHyde complex instead!) ,The years that followed showedvery little in the way of successful polio research. The key
to the failures of these un-productive years turned up, it issaid, when in 1949 Drs. Bodian and Howe of Baltimore
discovered there were three well-defined types of polio virus
instead of the single type heretofore thought to exist. This isabout the time Dr. Salk first enters the picture for Salk was
one of the four laboratory directors, singled out by the Polio
Foundation to verify the findings of Bodian and Howe, aproject that took three years to complete.
1949 turned up another related project in the researchof Dr. Enders of Harvard, who showed that polio virus
could be grown in non-nervous tissue cultures in test tubes,
thus freeing research, as it were, from total reliance onmonkeys. Up until this time the cultures in which the virus
was grown were considered unacceptable for producing acommercial vaccine for human injection. Salk then took
on from Enders’ work and found, as Enders had already,that monkey kidneys were the most successful virus-growing
tissue, at least up until that time. All that remained was tofind the best broth in which to grow the tissue cells. Salk
settled for one that was developed by Dr. Parker of Toronto.
Now all the ingredients of a successful vaccine were at hand.
The problem of live virus vaccine as against the killed virus
vaccine was booted about furiously, and to this day it still is.

327

Salk was the first, I believe, to suggest a dead virus vaccine
as a more practical means of protection. In opposing his
theory many of his colleagues hold that a live virus withthe paralyzing sting bred out of it gives the patient a mild
non-paralyzing disease that induces a lifetime immunity.
The “dead-virusers” are said to be more concerned withthe element of risk, claiming that the live virus can always
turn to a paralytic type.
Salk, of course, is a dead-to-center dead-viruser. Salk’s
being chosen for this job was no matter-of-chance happening. In his medical student days at New York University he
was one of the bacteriology pupils of Dr. Thomas Francis,
Jr., head of the department. Was it fate spinning the wheel?
Let’s see. After graduation and internship at Mt. Sinai
Hospital in New York, the National Research Counsel, on
the basis of some work he had done as a student on flu
virus under Dr. Francis, awarded Salk a fellowship at the
University of Michigan, where he worked again under Dr.
Francis. Together they developed the flu vaccine now on themarket. It just so happens that this very same Dr. Francis
was in charge of the evaluation of the whole polio projectsponsored by the Foundation, and it was he whose history-making report on that fateful April day stirred the nationand the world into a frenzy and enthusiasm that exceeded
anything ever before accorded a medical discovery. The
reception and reaction well befit the dawn of a new era. To
return to Salk—the Francis influence was felt again. When
the University of Pittsburgh decided to set up a virus laboratory of its own, Salk was asked to take over. He transferred
his work to Pittsburgh where he has been ever since, andwhere the final stages of the vaccine research were carried
on. There may be no implications in the association of Drs.
Francis and Salk, but the sequence and turn of favorable
events surely points a finger of suspicion, especially at the328

big business aspect. Personally, I prefer to think of them asa happy combination that unfortunately worked the wrong
side of the street. The respective parts each played in thehuge drama must remain conjecture, but it was Salk whocame in for the big hero worship. At any rate both helped
forge another link in the chain of medical advance that isfast reducing the human race to a state of medical mesmerism. It doesn’t take too much imagination, with things goingas they are, to calamitously view the supposed success overthe summer scourge as the beginning of our fall.
The Hygienic perspective naturally rejects the whole
affair and shares none of the enthusiasm for this newest
millennium. We’ve seen far too many of them. To our wayof thinking, all the vaccines and all the antibodies they canarouse do not answer the basic questions of where do theviruses come from; why do they attack as they do in thegood old summertime; and how do they get into the humanbody? As I understand it, medicine has failed to definitely
establish a true portal of entry for the virus, and this hasbrought forth the further controversy of endogeniety andexogeniety. There are many theories. Some investigators consider the virus as an enzyme-like substance with a deranged
cell proclivity. Others see the virus as a biochemical substance that goes haywire. Others think oh well, why go on?
Your guess is a good as theirs. As far as we are concerned,
it all boils down to this: We don’t see why we should put ourbodies to the extra effort of producing antibodies, to combat
dead viruses, to produce artificial immunity to something
we needn’t have had in the first place. Frankly, it all sounds
too Quixotic. Moreover, windmills are out of style. We now
have windbags and not imaginary ones either.
But to get back to Salk. Despite the unquestioned
brilliance of his mind, in our opinion he is barking up thewrong alley. The logic of that mind cannot make up for the329

incorrectness of its premise. In this game of polio research(and that’s what it has turned out to be) he intercepted theball and carried it across the line to a delusive touchdown.
It so happens the goal posts of victory happened to be hisown,, and, well—”that, wont win any games.” In the finalscore, if I may continue the metaphor, I’m sure the superior
ground strategy of polio will easily overpower the aerial
astigmatics of Salk and his team. Any qualified coach or
judge would advise Salk to discard his theoretical illusions
and reconstitute his attack and defense formations on morepractical considerations than the color of his opponents’uniforms or some similar superficies. This might explain to
him the fact that polio cannot be beaten by concentrating
on its symptoms because they’re simply a camouflage whenevaluated on a prima-facie basis. The Hygienist does not
accept symptoms at their current face value. He uses themas legal tender to gain entrance to the deeper vaults of thehuman body wherein the foundation stones of disease are
more easily discernible. As these stones are laid so does hededuce the weaknesses in the human structure. In this way
the active as well as the potential factors are brought out
into the clear light of scientific evaluation; etiology andprognosis are more truly estimated; and acute and chronic
disturbances are nipped in the bud of their origin. The fact
is nobody, Salk included, can follow the phantasmagoriaof symptomatology and come to a true understanding ofany disease for the simple reason that symptoms are only
symptoms, not causes, Or is that too elementary for menof Dr. Salk’s caliber?
His error is not one of logic but rather of the superficial premise upon which he launched his whole research
program. Mankind’s error exists in its being constantly
deluded by the specious type of reasoning men of medicine
employ and base their conclusions on. We forget that logic

330

is a means to an end, that it can serve the villain and thesaint, the misguided and the well grounded, the people andtheir exploiters. In this instance, the end served is surely not
ours, for had it been, Salk would have probed deeper than
the symptoms of polio to get to the underlying bottom of
the problem.
He would have explored other approaches. He would
have considered other premises than the germ theory ofthe disease. He might have given thought to the possibility
that perhaps virology was not the only beginning to so serious a study. He might have glanced back through history’s
pages and refreshed his memory on the course of pellagra
in our south; on the scourge of scurvy; on the incredible
incidence of beriberi among the white rice eating peoples of
the Orient. He might even have seen the related significanceof this latter condition to the present problem of polio in
the symptoms of its advanced stages known as polyneuritis,in which control of the muscles of the feet, legs and arms,
and in severe cases of the trunk too, is affected. He might
have learned that these too were epidemic diseases and wereendlessly ascribed to various germs, and that in the final
analysis all medical research in their behalf turned out to bemeaningless medical meandering down the insidious avenueof infection; proving that medical research, if not a disease
in itself, is surely a pathological compulsion in most cases.
In the end pellagra, scurvy and beriberi turned out tobe diseases of dietary deficiency that could be controlled
by the simple process of putting back into the nutrimentof nature some of the vital elements that commerce saw
profit in removing. These and many more correlatives could
he have seen had his immunological perspective recognized
the true relationship of Virology to Symptomology, as thatof tweedledee and tweedledum. Hygienists do not discredit
the presence of the three guilty viruses. We say that they are331merely a symptom of polio rather than the cause. And we
openly admit our skepticism of any approach to the problem of polio that systematically or unwittingly ignores thebasic enervating and toxemic forces that nurture the soil of
its growth in the human body.
Furthermore, we look askance on any data that disregards the clues inherent in the study of the comparative
eating habits of our own rich country with its high polio
rate as against the eating habits of the poor countries of
the East with their low polio incidence. Our superiority inthe matter of advanced sanitation and hygiene apparently
offers no advantages in the way of polio prevention, or atleast not where our respective diets remain the same. The
one clear spot in the statistical panorama is the differencein the overall consumption of white sugar. Explicitly, their’s
is but a fraction of ours. It may stun you to learn that in
the year 1939 the per capita consumption of white sugar in
China, where only sporadic cases of polio were seen, was
3.2 lbs., whereas in the United States 103.2 lbs. per person
were consumed. I understand from good authority that thispattern ran true in the epidemics of 1949 and 1952, whichwere the most severe in our history.
This is not a rare and isolated statistical item. The
United States Army documented well the figures of oursoldiers contracting the disease in the Philippines, in China
and in Japan—with no outbreaks among the native children. The Surgeon General’s Office has reports filed away
concerning the 1945 outbreak amongst our troops in thePhilippines, when 250 were afflicted with the disease, with
50 deaths resulting—but with no outbreaks amongst thenatives. The only plausible answer here, and one which has
been reported by a few honest investigators, exists in thefact that the American soldier was allowed to take his eating
habits along with him. He was permitted to stuff himself

332

with ice cream, soda pop, candies, pastries, etc. With all due
respect to his great fighting ability he was coddled into illhealth by the misguided generosity of the Army authorities,
perhaps to recompense for some of the ghastly aspects ofthat systematic decimation of human beings called war. In
one account I read the following: “Ice cream manufacturing
equipment generally soon followed combat equipment.”
In war as in peace polio seems to strike under similar
conditions. The pattern of epidemiologic statistics clearly
indicate a correlation between sugar consumption and epidemic outbreaks of polio in the various countries of theworld. Our own country is perhaps the best example ofthis trend of figures. Salk might have studied the effect ofwhite sugar on our calcium levels and learned something of
calcium waste and its effect on nerve nutrition.
I do not pretend to have made a special study of polio, tohave any data or knowledge difficult of access, or to have any
special qualifications that permit me to speak with authority.
But I refuse to close my eyes to what surely appears as worthwhile evidence just because it does not fit into the runningcrossword puzzle of rigged science that right now has even its
instigators and promoters in a state of hopeless confusion.
If Salk was really the well grounded man he shouldhave been, he would not have followed so quickly in thefootsteps of the witch hunters bent upon finding an epidemic-borne virus for the disease. But then he might nothave found it so easy to retain the sponsorship that enabled
him to carry out the project. Researchers are well awarethat funds available for research are earmarked with if’s,
and’s and but’s, and that they all spell conformity in big
fat letters. It’s got to be a virus! It’s got to be specific! And
it’s got to equate with some manufacturing scheme! “Or
else, Mr. Researcher, you’re gonna have to get off of yourhands and seek your own way in the cold, cold world.” It’s

333

easy to see how seif-preservation can gain an easy ascendancy over the nobler impulses of race preservation. Picture
an idealistic young research genius (who by some special
moral stamina is reluctant to relinquish his standards) up
against the dilemma of compromise or starvation. It isn’tlong before integrity gives way to passive acceptance of thephilosophy “Well, a guy’s got to live.” And the downfall of
an honest soul is well on its way.
Frankly, I don’t know that such a thing as pure research
exists today except in isolated cases and in the small remainsthat minds disposed to science never lose. Yet, where in theworld is true research more needed than in the biologicalsciences? And where in the world is it more bungled thanin our own great country where human health has become
the most profitable means of mass exploitation yet devised,
and where research has become a football in and out of
science, and where all the avenues of public health education are aimed at the enslavement of the mass mind to thepromptings of the total medical industry.
The newspapers and the airways play up with sickening
sentimentality the noble sacrifices of the dedicated doctors
who daily sacrifice their own personal interests by working
in the wards, the clinics, the hospitals and the laboratories.
They feed us glowing word pictures of little children, victims of leukemia roaming around cancer wards awaiting thenoble ministrations of the doctor. They show polio victims
being given the chance to learn to walk again ... on crutches!
They describe the various institutions and dramaticallypaint the altruism of those doctors engaged in helping theyoungsters rout out some of the scars that follow in thewake of their afflictions. But do they tell you those kiddies
are there because of medicine’s failure to serve the public
need? Do they tell you that those little spastics are bearing
the cross for the mistakes of medicine? Do they tell you that334

those innocent little victims of polio, diabetes, cerebral palsy,
nephrosis, rheumatic heart, etc., are living symbols of the
low standard of medical practice? And as for their touching sentiments—are they as sentimental in reporting theinvestigations of those able men who disagree with current
medical fancies? Not by a long way!
They either ignore or scorn those whose results contradict the efforts of medicine. The miracle of the Salk Vaccine
is not the miracle of hope we were told to accept. It is the
miracle of sensational overselling. Even the President admitted this. To put it in the words of one of Salk’s henchmen,
Dr. Robert A. Moore, Vice Chancellor of the University ofPittsburgh Schools of the Health Professions: “Health is
too important to hide under a bushel. We have something
to sell, and if we are convinced our product is good, let us
use the same techniques others use in our society to sell theirproducts.” (Emphasis mine.) This statement speaks for itself.
Does the learned Doctor not realize the potential for harm
he’s condoning? Does he not realize the callousness of his
attitude? I’m wondering what he actually means by “good.”
Good to sell or good to take? AND what, does he mean by“health”? Falling for every gimmick medicine and the drug
industry parades before our eyes?
Before we can consider the new vaccine the dawn of a
new era it had better dawn on us to get rid of the old. Thechange we need is not merely a switch of affections to a
new vaccine (heaven knows they come too often). What
we need is to get rid of the whole nonsensical apothecaryof medicine and to adopt a sane approach that will start at
the bottom of things and not somewhere in the middle ofnowhere, as Salk did.
And that approach must of necessity aim at the unityof disease—not at one of its manifestations. Salk and all
he represents in method and philosophy see health only in335

terms of a suppression of symptoms. We Hygienists lookupon health as a high standard of physiological efficiency.
We say this difference is not only a matter of philosophy, butthat it is a starting point that leads on one side to an endlesshunt for techniques of covering up or masking the setbacks
we bring on to ourselves by incorrect living; and on the otherside to a system of honest inquiry into the real foundationsof health. We say with Byron, “The best prophet of the
future is the past.” On the past record of medicine we must
reject the work of Dr. Salk and his team of co-workers. In
short, we look upon the new vaccine as a bane rather thana boon to humanity, however slow its accumulative effects
may appear in the records.
As for immunity to polio and all the other disease
designations, we Hygienists choose to keep faith with ourprinciple of vital fitness. We consider the integrity of ourphysical economy the only real safeguard against any of
the incursions of ill health, whatever the symptom complex
may be. We view the phenomenon of artificially-induced
immunization as the mere prelude to a pathological change
of venue, a delaying action and therefore an obstruction of
the laws of physiology.
We say you just cannot beat disease by preventing its
symptoms. True prevention must start with the eliminationof cause. We contend the elimination of polio must follow
the same course lest it leave worse evils in its tracks. No,
we do not think it’s Polio’s last summer at all. As for thevaccine, its mistakes are already apparent. Its consequences
only time can evaluate. Salk’s statement, on his day of glory,
to the effect that he would like the prevention of mental ills
to be his next target, confirms my contention that research
can become a compulsive neurosis. As a follow-up of his
work we have been threatened with vaccines for the common cold, for sneezing and, there have been hints, even for336

cancer. Come to think of it, it may not be too long before
they come up with one for thinking. Maybe Salk’s work has
paved the way for it, too. We wish we could think disease
could be whitewashed so simply. We just can’t, and look the
figures of our national health in the face. Those figures belie
the efficiency of the vaccines, the serums, the drugs and all
the rest of the claptrap of the medicine man.
It is regrettable that man has long confused promise withperformance and hope with illusion; that in the fatuity ofhis dreams the lessons of the past have eluded him; and that
despite his sad experience he continues to patiently bear theburdens that error places in his path. In the cool sobering
light of retrospect, when the mind dwells on the ledger of
man’s progress down the ages; when the balance sheets show
our losses and gains, our aims and our accomplishments, ourinvestments and our dividends; when we think of the state of
the world and the despair that exists everywhere, and of ourdescending spiral of achievement in a moral sense: when we
examine what science has brought us to. and where it might
have—it is then that the spirit saddens and man is left toface the disquieting fact that he has never truly learned to
distinguish between the milestone and the millstone.

A MAN’S OPINION IS NO BETTER
THAN HIS INFORMATION
1. Béchamp, (the real discoverer of bacteria) writes ‘Bacteria
do not cause disease, and that, therefore serums and vaccines
can neither prevent nor cure disease.”
2. Dr. James A. Shannon of the National Institute of
Health, U.S. Government, June 23, 1955 states: “The only
wholly safe vaccine is a vaccine that is never used.”
3. The famous Doctor Harry R. Bybee says: “My honest

337

opinion is that vaccine is the cause of more disease andsuffering than anything I could name.”
4. Human Biochemistry, in discussing pyrogens points
out injections of distilled water may be potentially dangerous ... surely “monkey-juice” isn’t fit to inject into little
children.
5. Dr. T. M. Schippel of Washington, D. C., writes,“Parents—play safe! Let other callous parents permit thispoisoning of their children. Just take your youngster off
candy, soft drinks and colas and infantile paralysis will passyour family by. Remember, polio is not ‘catching’—it comesfrom the insides of ‘over-indulged’ kiddies.”
6. Dr. S. A. Mills, so correctly defines polio as ...“polio
is a toxic waste paralysis, toxic . . . because of how it affects.
waste‚ … because of what it really is. paralysis ... becauseof what it does.”
7. Prof. Yutaka Mukai (Japan), states—”Polio is notcaused by the Virus, but essentially the physical constitution.
Health promoting foods can prevent Polio completely.”
8. Scientist and physician, Dr. William F. Koch, M.D.,
Ph.D., says, “the injection of any serum, vaccine, or evenpenicillin, has shown a very marked increase in the incidenceof polio, at least 400%. Statistics on this are so conclusive,no one can deny it.”
9. September 20, 1953, The United Nations World
Health Organization Committee reports, “Efforts to Control
Polio Complete Failure” and condemns any large scale intramuscular injections.
10. Dr. Charles Creighton M. D., (Encyclopedia
Britannica) reports: “In England 1733 newly vaccinatedinfants died from syphilis.”
11. Robert S. Allen. Washington correspondent, reported
in the New York Post ....”doctors and others on the staff of
the National Institute of Health are not inoculating their338

own children with the Salk vaccine.” Why????
12. The world’s greatest brains and scientists all agree
there is no such thing as a virus ... merely a mythical word
to confuse the public. Read Dr. A. J. Shadman’s (M.D.) new
book, Who Is Your Doctor And Why.
God bless little Jackie Moore, crippled by polio who
would today be healthy had not “medical phonies” concocted a fraudulent polio vaccine.
Any polio vaccine is fraudulent and dangerous.
Inoculation for immunity is strictly a vicious “myth” ...
making the body “unclean” and subject to sickness which
may be polio.
Vaccinated children are far more susceptible to polio
than children whose bloodstreams are not polluted.
Scientitic American Magazine states: “No human virus
disease has yet been brought under control by a killed virus
vaccine.”
The fact that polio vaccines are sold on the “virus” mythand since there is no such thing ... isn’t it common horse
sense to classify this vaccine as fraudulent?
The practice of vaccination is entirely empirical completely devoid of scientific certitude ... which by-passes all
glandular guards of the body making it “unclean”, dangerous and subject to sickness which may be polio. No vaccine
has or can achieve any scientific purpose.
The U.S.P.H.S. (United States Public Health Services)
has developed into a high pressure sales organization topromote the wishes of vaccine producers. Could it be the
U.S.P.H.S. is “loaded” with Russian doctors and could it
be they don’t have American citizenship papers??? The
non-thinking American public have been viciously lied to,brainwashed and deceived by these “rascals” who recall theold side-show puppets dancing and singing anything thestring puller desires ... yet not a brain in their heads.

339

Little Jackie Moore had his polio shot ... now his rightleg is in braces. There are thousands of similar cases withuntold numbers now sleeping in their little white coffins all
because of the most inhuman, unGodly, unchristian, money-making racket known to mankind. As Robt. Burns said,“Man’s Inhumanity To Man Makes Countless Thousands
Mourn.”

AN OPEN LETTERTO DR. LEROY E. BURNEY
Duon H. Miller
300 Bird Road
Coral Gables, Florida
January 8, 1958
Dr. LeRoy E. Burney
U. S. Public Health Service
Washington, D. C.
When you report to the Associated Press ... “the incidenceof all types of Polio declined 62% in 1957 as compared with
1956. and Paralytic cases declined about 73%” ... upon what
FACTS do you base such a ridiculous statement?
If these figures are a brain child of the National
Foundation for Infantile Paralysis, that alone will label themworthless as far as being truthful is concerned. Knowing theinner workings of this corrupt group from their President
down to their local “hatchet-men”, I trust giving out these
false percentages was not intentional on your part. Why
continue taking the public on an expedition into Alice ofWonderland?
First, their President, Basil O’Connor, KNOWS of clinics in this country who have long successfully treated Polio,
has received invitations to visit the clinics and even when
he is in their vicinity he ignores them ...WHY??? Does heplace GOLD before GOD???
Second, an M. D. lecturing for them at a public meeting admitted they had no immediate positive diagnosis for
POLIO ... so for the past several years it is very clear they“juggle” the figures erroneously, simply to brainwash and lie
to the public. We expect the TRUTH from public servants.

341

If a sick child were brought into your office, could you,any member of your Department, or any member of theA.M.A. that you know give an immediate, correct and positive diagnosis as to Polio. I doubt it.
You’ll recall the “puppets” in the old fashioned sideshow where they danced sang, etc., yet didn’t have a brain
in their head but were simply doing the planned wishes of
the “experts” pulling the strings. It looks like the MoneyBeggars and the monkey-juice peddlers are pulling thestrings with our Health (?) officials, dancing and singing
while innocent little children die from the unnatural injection of a foreign protein into the body in violation of every
law of God and Nature.
Polio is a CONDITION ... as is a sprained ankle. It
is not a disease caused by any mysterious live virus, as nosuch virus exists. Polio vaccine has NEVER prevented, or
mitigated Polio in even ONE child or adult ... yet look at
the DEATHS on the doorsteps of vaccine.
An honest Congressional investigation would shock
this nation. I suggest you call for such an investigation
immediately. Let us bring order out of chaos, eliminate
this shameful “racket”, prevent further suffering, deathsand disgrace. You may rest assured I’m eager and willingto cooperate without any personal recompense.
Will greatly appreciate a copy of the department’s
findings of fact which you no doubt have had prepared tosupport the Press release referred to in the first paragraphof my letter.
Respectfully,

RABIES PAST, PRESENT IN SCIENTIFIC REVIEW
Millicent Morden(Physician & Surgeon)
Rabies was an old superstition—a relic of the times whendevils ran to and fro between animal and man carrying
disease.
Pasteur, who had previously had a hemorrhage of thebrain, changed this old superstition into a money-making
disease.
Rabies is now a pet child of the Vivisection Trust whichworks internationally.
If vivisection has proven anything it has proven theimpossibility of man contracting any real disease from a dog.
How long will filthy lucre keep the facts from the fooled
public?
In early times, as recorded in articles available in old
libraries, the kiss of a king would cure rabies. It was later
discovered that a piece of the king’s garment would be as
efficacious.
Still later the “mad stone” when applied over the areaof the bite would “draw out the madness”. Later some of
the “hair of the dog that bit you” could either be chewed
and swallowed or bound on the wound.
A still later discovery was that which employed an
extract of “wild cockroach”.
In 1806 a Mr. Kraus was awarded $1000, by the thenrulers of New York territory for his scientific discovery
which had kept rabies out of New York for Over twenty
years. His formula is a matter of record and consisted of theground-up jaw bone of an ass or dog, a piece of colt’s tongue
and the green rust off a penny of George the First reign.
This latter seems to have kept rabies out of the limelight
until the time of Pasteur. Medicine has heard much of the343startling cure of Joseph Meister by Pasteur. Little mention ismade of the fact that three relatives of the Meister boy were
bitten by the same dog and without benefit of the Pasteur
treatment recovered completely.
Dr. H. Bastian, a contemporary, took sharp issue with
Pasteur’s scientific ideas and conclusions. Another contemporary of Pasteur, Dr. Antoine Béchamp, took violent
exceptions to Pasteur’s reports on rabies and, incidentally,
it was Dr. Béchamp who claimed to have previously discovered the cause of the silkworm disease. He also (Béchamp)
was the man who made the discoveries on fermentation.
The records of the French Academy of Science substantiate
Béchamp’s claims.
Dr. W. R. Hadwen of England was also in controversy
with Pasteur. Dr. William A. Bruette, former assistant chiefof the Bureau of Animal Industry in Washington, was also acontemporary of Pasteur and gave many proofs of Pasteur’sincorrect findings. Dr. Bruette has proved, as a matter offact, that rabies vaccine is not only a fraud, but harmful. He
scores the use of rabies vaccine and states that “inoculation
spreads disease.” He goes as far as to call the sale of rabies
vaccine an out and out racket.
Dr. Matthew Woods, another contemporary of Pasteur,then a leading member of the Philadelphia Medical Society,wrote much on the subject of rabies. He stated, “at thePhiladelphia dog pound, where on an average more than
6,000 vagrant dogs are taken annually, and where the catchers and keepers are frequently bitten while handling them,not one case of hydrophobia has occurred during it’s entire
history of twenty-five years, in which time 150,000 dogs
have been handled.”“The records of the London Hospital, a few years ago,
showed 2,668 persons bitten by angry dogs. None of themdeveloped hydrophobia.”344

St. George’s Hospital, London, records 4,000 patients
bitten by dogs supposed to have been mad. No case ofhydrophobia.
“In the record of all the diseases which have occurred at
the Pennsylvania Hospital in one hundred and forty years,
only two cases which were supposed to be hydrophobia haveoccurred. One of these, however, the only one submitted tobacteriological test, did not confirm the diagnosis, ‘hydrophobia’ and the local health authorities refused to register
the death as due to rabies.”
Dr. Charles W. Dulles, lecturer on the History ofMedicine at the University of Pennsylvania, who was
appointed by the Medical Societies of the state to investigate rabies stated that he is “inclined to the view that there
is no such specific malady” because after sixteen years ofinvestigation he had “failed to find a single case on recordthat can be conclusively proved to have resulted from thebite of a dog or any other cause.” The report and Dr. Woods’
letter were endorsed by Dr. Theophilus Parvin of Jefferson
Medical College and President of the National Academyof Medicine; Dr. Thomas G. Morten, Coroners Physician;Dr. Charles K. Mills of the University of Pennsylvania andDr. Thomas I. Mays of the Polyclinic Hospital.
Dr. Woods recently wrote a discourse of mimetic diseases, in which he discussed rabies. His evidence supports
the view that so-called human rabies is the result of a disordered imagination (fear). In animals, so-called rabies isfundamentally due to maltreatment or malnutrition or both.
Dr. Wilcox of New York investigated a “rabies scare”
because of eleven alleged deaths from rabid dog bites. Uponcomplete investigation, it was found that not one of these
deaths was due to rabies. With the publication of his reportto the city council, the “rabies scare” ended forthwith.
Dr. Elmer Lee ended another rabies scare on Staten

345

Island. On autopsy the rabid dog was found to have diedof thread worms and not rabies. The worms were lodged in
the heart of the animal.
A similar finding of worms ended the Kiondike Rabies
Panic.
Dr. Stillman, in 1922 voiced the opinion that rabies was“pure humbug” and that in over forty years as a practicing physician with a very busy practice and wide travels
throughout Europe, he stated that he had “never seen a caseof hydrophobia or rabies.”
In a letter answering a request for information, Dr.
Stillman stated: “Several years ago there was considerable
excitement occasioned by the declaration of a rabies quarantine by the state department of agriculture in Albany, N.
Y. It lasted two years. Many dogs were killed. Their heads
were sent on for official examination at Cornell College
Veterinary department. Many were pronounced rabid, but
the test was dependent upon the presence of certain Negri
bodies in the animal’s brain.”“I was told by a pupil of Pasteur in France that these
Negri bodies were sometimes present when there was no
suspicion whatever of rabies. We sent the head of a harmless
little dog without any disease symptoms whatever to Cornell
and it was promptly pronounced rabid. Finally I went to thedepartment of Agriculture, which had charge, and insisted
that our society would hold all dogs declared rabid and wewould see if any cases of rabies would develop. Not one caseof rabies appeared and we have never had any since. Whenthe animals were held simply to show whether they had
rabies, none of them died and the entire scare subsided after
two years of fanatical unrest and excitement which ought
to have developed lyssophobia, or imaginary hydrophobia.”
Dr. J. W. Hodge reported that of 56,000 stray dogs andcats collected in one year, not one case of rabies was found.

346

He further states that there is no rabies in England nor is
the Pasteur treatment permitted to be used. Dr. Hodge hasin his possession the names and addresses of more than2500 persons reported as having died of “hydrophobia”
shortly after having received the Pasteur preventive treatment. This would seem to prove that the cure is more deadly
than the disease when one considers that nearly 300 of these“victims” of the Pasteur treatment had no recollection ofever having been bitten by a dog. Dr. Hedge predicted that
“future generations will look upon the present day delusion
about hydrophobia and the Pasteur treatment with feelings
akin to those which we experience when reading the historyof witchcraft delusion.”
Dr. Dulles, previously referred to, has said, “I mightcite my own experience in the treatment of persons bitten
by dogs supposed to be mad, which has furnished not asingle case of the developed disease in thirty years. And I
have probably seen more cases of so-called hydrophobia
than any other medical man.” Dr. Dulles was lecturer on
the History of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania,
Consulting Surgeon to Rush Hospital and Manager ofUniversity Hospital.
Dr. William Brady, nation-wide columnist, has stated
that, “The Pasteur treatment for rabies is a blind treatment
and no one knows whether Pasteur treatment confers any
protection against rabies. I’d never willingly receive Pasteur
treatment or give it to any one under any conceivable circumstances, because I fear the material so injected has adisastrous effect in some instances. It is not always successful
and, occasionally, paralysis follows its use.” It Is Dr. Brady’s
opinion that rabies “does not occur in man.”“We, of the medical profession, have witnessed manyerrors perpetrated by good-intentioned, but misguided individuals and methods. The digitalis standardization by the347

dog’s heart, it will be recalled, resulted in a 300 per centvariance from standard.”
In a hook entitled, Béchamp or Pasteur, by E. D. Hume,there may be found much proof pertinent to our discussion.
A notable failure of the Pasteur treatment was that of ayoung postman, named Pierre Roscol, who, with anotherman, was attacked by a dog supposed to be mad, but was
not bitten, for the dog’s teeth did not penetrate his clothing;
but his companion received severe bites. The latter refused
to go to the Pasteur Institute and remained in perfect health;but the unfortunate Roscol was forced by the postal authorities to undergo the treatment, beginning March 9th. On thefollowing April 12th severe symptoms set in with pain at the
point of inoculation, not at the place of the bite, for he had
never been bitten. On April 14th he died of paralytic “hydrophobia” the new disease brought into the world by Pasteur.
Another incident extracted from the same book shows
the power of suggestion or fear in the causation of so-calledrabies. It is hard to credit, but the case is recorded as follows.
“Two young Frenchmen were bitten by the same dog at
Havre. One died from the effects within a month, but, before
this, his friend had sailed for America, where he lived for fifteen years in ignorance of the end of his former companion.
Returning to France, he heard of the tragedy and, actuallyhimself, developed symptoms, and within three weeks wasdead of “hydrophobia.”
Another interesting recorded case is that of a lady, who
returning from bathing, stated that she had been bitten bya dog. “The anxious parents rushed her for Pasteur treatments, she became violently ill, death followed. On the way
home from the funeral the girl companions who were bathing with her told the parents of the dead girl that she was
not bitten by a dog but by her young man friend.”
There are over 3.000 deaths on record in reports from the348

Pasteur Institute, of persons bitten by dogs. All died after
treatments. On the other hand, the record of the London
Hospital, a few years ago, showed 2,668 persons bitten byangry dogs: not one of them developed hydrophobia andnot one had been treated by the Pasteur method.
“Who was this man Pasteur? What did he actually
discover? The answer to the first is that he was a chemistof sorts. The second question can be answered only withthe reminder that he separated L & D tartic acids. That is
absolutely all he did. The rest of his work—yea—even thesilkworm disease and bacterial work was plagiarized from
that, not too well-known and much neglected professor ofMontpellier, Antoine Béchamp. Professor Béchamp’s writings, when properly studied, will be found to have afforded
the solution to many of the problems which had puzzled
biologists, physiologists, pathologists and philosophers formany years.” —Hume.
Speaking of Professor Béchamp’s works, Dr. Leversonof England says, “I also found in those truths absolute proofof the absurdity of the germ theory of disease; and, by thestudy of the writings of Pasteur, to which Béchamp’s works
unavoidably led me, I found full proof that the great godof the (supposedly) men of science of the latter half of thelast century and of many of the present, was in fact, themost astonishing of plagiarists and distorter of other men’s
discoveries; chiefly those of Professor Antoine Béchamp,and of his collaborators and pupils; and that this plagiarist
was the most monumental charlatan, whose existence isdisclosed to us, in the entire recorded history of medicine.”“You have already surmised who was this plagiarist andcharlatan. It was Louis Pasteur, to whose memory France
has erected statues all over the land and endowed the Pasteur
Institute.”
Since this record is not an enviable one, let us view rabies349

from the standpoint of the known facts. We have seen that
normal dogs are also classified as rabid by the so-calledmicroscation of these so-called Negri bodies. We have also
seen that the identification of these so-called Negri bodies isdependent upon the individual observer. Seldom do observers agree. Experts at the Pasteur Institute admit that Negri
bodies are not a specific indication of rabies. They also
record many deaths by treatment with the Pasteur system.
On the other hand, reported untoward effects in nontreated patients (very few cases are reported it will be
noticed) can be explained on the basis of fear or susceptibility to slight injuries. For example, Dr. W. W. Duke of
Kansas City, among others, on writing on allergy, cites casesof violent convulsions and deaths following slight injuries
in individuals seemingly in perfect mental and physicalcondition.
These violent deaths are reported as resulting fromscratches, tooth extraction, hypodermic injections, extremesof heat or cold, shock due to various causes, love affairs, etc.
The allergy experts often lay stress on the relative importance of former illness which may have undermined thehealth of the patient. Such varied causes would indicate“fear” plays a profound role in the sequelae observed.
Dr. Buisson of France had been badly bitten by a dog
and was given up to die of hydrophobia. He recited that his
fear was, of course, intense as was his suffering. He decided
to try to relieve his sufferings by a warm bath. After soaking
for one and a quarter hours, his convulsions disappeared
and he became well. He cured all other cases which cameto him in a similar way. The Buisson baths were employedwith great success in France in rabies cases.
In Germany, cases of dog bites are sensibly treated byapplying suction to the wound or squeezing it to induce andlow free bleeding. They leave the clotted and dried blood on350

the wound without further treatment and they never havefurther trouble.
In my experience, nothing stronger than mild soap andwater should be used on such wounds. I feel that cauterization is too shocking to the tissues.
Is rabies then a disease? Have we isolated a virus or germ?
Is the Pasteur-treatment specific? Is rabies, in short, fact or
fancy? I believe it is fancy, for I have handled so-called rabid
animals and humans without benefit of Pasteur treatment
and in no case has there been a death or any other symptomsof rabies. I submit that rabies is non-existent and that the
Pasteur treatment for rabies is worse than the disease, if itwere a disease, which it is not.
P. S. I have examined and witnessed the repeated examinations of every part of the brains of the so-called rabiddogs. The mouse and rabbit tests have proved ridiculous
ever since the time of Pasteur.

HERALD OF HEALTH AND NATUROPATH
THE SALK MONKEY KIDNEY JUICE
Dr. T. M. Schippell, N.D.
June, 1956
The Doctors Talk it Over.
“We, naturopaths, have been holding our breaths, worried about the revelations that are sure to make themselves
manifest as a result of this Salk vaccine craze. And it is a“craze”—which later will be frankly dubbed ‘crazy’ by thescientists who, in the future, look back on our present way
of life. You cannot poison the human blood stream with the
decaying products of a diseased monkey’s kidney and not
eventually pay the price to the Almighty.
“When human blood stream was sealed from outsidecontamination— that was the silent warning Nature gave
to man not to monkey with the body’s life-line with monkey
kidney juice or other foreign substance. But our hay-wirescientists seem to believe that they know more about thefunctioning of the human organs than the Creator.
“This dosing with ‘Salk slop’ is in the same categoryof so-called medical research which permits a surgeon toyank the tonsils from a helpless child or ‘scare’ an appendix operation from a grown-up. Not many years ago the‘big bugs’ in the medico-scientific field had the effrontery
to calmly state, in their public meetings, that the ‘appendix’
served no useful purpose in the body and the tonsils were
the remains of our ‘gills’—left over in our bodies when man
emerged from the sea as a land animal. Now, students realizethat the appendix helps to keep the cecum on the safe side
by holding the putrefactive bacteria, in that blind sewer,
at a safe level and that the tonsils play important parts inkilling disease organisms that would otherwise get into the352

lymphatic circulatory system.
“Yet in many quarters the yanking out of tonsils for a
fee and the chopping out of the appendix for the doctor’s
wife’s fur coat continue unabated. Gall bladder operations
are still sending unfortunates to the insane asylums as ofyore and the so-called ‘fixing’ of stomach and intestinal
ulcers by ‘removing a section of the anatomy’ with a knife,
is still considered good ‘practice’. Yet even the most obstinate medical physician and surgeon knows that ulcers arecaused by too strong stomach chemicals, digesting the
mucous membrane, and that the proper treatment is merely
to reduce the strength of such digestive chemicals. Small-pox
vaccine—which has spread syphilis throughout the civilized
world is still ‘obligatory’ in many parts of the universe andthe Schick vaccine—that arch killer of Japanese babies in
the hands of our army ‘brass hat doctors’—is still being
used as a ‘professional fee getter’ although it still curtails
the infant population.
“Altogether , the situation seems to be getting worse—
not better. And the Salk vaccine—for all its blatant
propaganda, for all its high endorsement by the Public
Health Department of our kindly government—is failingdismally just as Duon H. Miller, of Coral Gables, Florida,predicted it would fail.
“Let us look again at this rotten laboratory concoction—this Salk vaccine made from the diseased kidney ofa tortured monkey. If you will recall, the proponents of thispolio medicine never claimed that it would prevent polio.
Those gentlemen of the dollar sign merely said that it would
probably prevent the paralysis which followed or accompanied the usual polio. They knew that nothing that could be‘shot’ into the clean blood streams of the youngsters would
lower the sugar content. And manifestly it was the excessive
sugar—taken into the infant’s body in the summertime in353

the shape of ice cream, cola and other soft drinks, candy
and like sweets—that brought on polio.
No question about that! All medical books show thatpolio does not exist in those countries where the consumption of sugar—refined sugar—is less than 90 pounds perperson.
“Well, anyway, the American people were sold a ‘billof goods’ by those stuff-shirted individuals back of thisSalk concoction. And it was the sainted ‘March of Dimes’
parasites who did that ‘selling’. No question about it—the‘March of Dimes’ had to come up with some new ‘gadget’to keep the dimes rolling in so that the motley array of
individuals on that expanded payroll might still receive theirlush salaries And the gist of the whole ‘selling campaign’ was
not that the Salk vaccine would cure polio or would evenprevent polio. But it was emphasized that this Salk monkey
juice would prevent the paralysis which followed polio.
“That prevention of paralysis was what actually ‘sold’the American people on this Salk concoction. Polio, without
paralysis, was not feared. The reason millions of parents
were willing to ‘take a chance’ with their children and toss
them onto the table of ‘medical experimentation’—the reason they were willing to have their offspring’s blood stream
contaminated by this Salk filth— was in the hope it might
prevent polio paralysis.
“As Al Smith would have said ‘Let us look at the record.’
Most of you know that during 1955, millions upon millionsof little American children had their blood streams filledwith this Salk vaccine. Some got one—some got two andsome even get three ‘shots’. So, in this year of 1956—if thismonkey juice was any good at all—the number of casesof polio should have been almost wiped out and paralysis,
following the few cases of polio which did slip through,should be practically nil.

354

“Right in line with the above is a report, issued in
Washington, D. C. on May 11, 1956, as appeared in the
New York Times.
‘through 1956 through last saturday—May 4th—(fourmonths of 1956) there had been 1,463 polio cases, broken
down into 803 paralytic, 399 non-paralytic and 261 unspecified. In 1955—same period (four months) there was 1,599
cases, 437 non-paralytic and 459 unspecified. Paralytic cases
numbered 703.’“there you have in black and white the definite resultsof this Salk preventative paralysis vaccine. Although tensof thousands of children received the Salk trash in 1955
which should have protected them from paralysis—there
were over 12 per cent more paralysis cases in 1956 than in
1955. Just how gullible do the medical authorities believe theAmerican people are? The medical men should know thatthe average layman can read figures and make comparisons.
So let us not permit these medical double-talkers to blind us
further. What is the good of cutting down the polio cases
if more of those who are stricken become paralyzed? And
what is even more dreadful to contemplate-is the thought ofwhat may be the aftermath of this placing in a child’s bloodstream of this rotten, filthy juice from the diseased kidneyof a dead monkey? Vaccination for small-pox spread syphilis throughout the world. And we, Naturopaths, are now
wondering—what will this Salk filth conjure up?”355

LETTER FROM DR. MILTON FRIED, D.C.
Health Research,
Mokelumne Hill,
California.
Dear Sirs:
May I congratulate you on your splendid work.
There are probably many moments of discouragement when
you ask yourself, “Is it worth it all?” It is! It is only throughpublic enlightenment that an end can be made to the abusesof the drug trust and the medical-bund.
Organizations such as yours are capable of slowing down
the drug and vaccine steamroller. If you were not hurtingthem or if they did not fear you, they would not attempt
to persecute you.
My personal knowledge of the medical-bund is of an intimate nature. I hold the B. Sc., M. A., and Ph.D. degrees
from New York University. I did graduate work on a grantfrom the medical-bund controlled National Foundation for
Infantile Paralysis. I am a graduate of an A.M.A. approved
school of Physical Therapy and Rehabilitation. I have hadclinical training in the finest hospitals in New York, including Bellevue Hospital, St. Vincents Hospital, Hospital for
Joint Diseases, Brooklyn Veterans Administration Hospital,
St. Giles Hospital, Postgraduate Medical School Hospital,and several others.
I have been on the staff of the New Jersey State Department
of Health, and was in complete charge of the MonmouthCounty Cerebral Palsy Treatment Center. For the past
three years I have been executive director of the Homestead
Rehabilitation Institute (and still am at this writing.)
356

My experiences have enabled me to observe from within theworkings of official medicine. At first, I could not believe
what I saw.
Were the truth concerning medical treatment and so-called
prevention ever to leak out, the stench of it would obliterate
the public confidence in the medical profession and put an
end to the fantastic drug trust profits.
Good people, like you, are battering at the A.M.A. stainless-steel curtain attempting to open a seam so that the lightof day can enter the dark and secret places where the facts
are hidden.
That stainless-steel curtain is strong, but it is far from being
invulnerable. Truth is, in the long run, the hardest substancein existence—capable of boring through any tissue of lies,
no matter what its composition.
You may, if you wish, publish my letter in part or in whole—and you may use my name. Please do not use it until after
September 15, 1956. Until that date, I shall remain economically vulnerable to medical-bund attack. After that date, I
shall be a practicing member of the great and honorable
Chiropractic profession—having recently won my D.C.,
degree after four arduous years of secret study.
Keep up the good work, and may the Lord bless you.
Sincerely,

SALK VACCINE: THE BUSINESS GAMBLE
By Spencer Klaw
“In the minds of the American people, partly because of
the foundation’s National foundation for infantile paralysis)fund-raising campaigns, polio had come to seem, a major
public-health problem which, in terms of statistics, it is not.
For fifteen years Americans had been contributing to the
March of Dimes, and they wanted results. The Foundation,acting as their agent, was determined to have vaccine available at the earliest possible.
“Park, Davis (Chemical manufacturers) had a special
reason for pushing its vaccine development program. The
company had suffered a serious financial setback. It had
gambled heavily on Choromycetin, an antibiotic, only tohave the bottom drop out of the market after disturbing
indications that the new wonder drug might, under someconditions, cause fatal blood disorders. The stockholders
were asking blunt questions, and management was understandably on the lookout for a new product sufficiently
spectacular to wipe out the memory of chloromycetin. polio
vaccine seemed a good bet, and in the early spring of 1953,
after spending a little over $1 million on research, ParkDavis believed its own experimental vaccines were readyfor testing on children.”

LETTER FROM A MOTHER
WHOSE CHILD WAS KILLED BY SALK VACCINE
June 28, 1955
Polio Prevention, Inc.
Coral Gables, Florida
Gentlemen:
Enclosed are the newspaper clippings of the death of my 8
year old son Charles Bynaker. In these eight years I had ahappy life until someone came up with polio “shots” which
took him away from me.
They say he had a brain abscess but I know he didn’t,
because he never got sick until he took the shot. He took
it on Thursday and came home Thursday evening, fromschool sick and the last words he said to me just before hedied were: “Mommy the old shot made me sick.”Now can you understand how I feel? If I had 10 more kids
they would never take the shots. Many people who saw him
knew he was not sick until he took the shot.
As bad as I need a child, I can never have anymore of myown. If I had it to do over again, I would never sign the paper.
I am a mother whose life has just been slapped in the face.
I know he did not have abscess of the brain. I know why
they said he had. That was because they thought I would
sue someone. Well all the money in the world won’t bringhim back.
They also wanted to cut his head to pieces, but I didn’t letthem I took him to the hospital in one piece and I meant tobring him back the same way.

359

I know how rotten this polio vaccine is and it is nothing but akiller. He was paralyzed from his waist up and died like that.
I found out who put it out, but maybe they lied again. They
said it was put out by Lilly Co., but they have lied so much tome I just don’t know what to believe anymore. They did notwant to tell me who put it out or what doctor gave the shot.
They say it was free to all children, but lets stop and lookwhat I had to pay. I am not a rich person and I had no
insurance so it leaves me in a pretty bad spot. Hospital bills
totaling $163.75, plus burial expenses of $358.00. Now doyou see where there is anything free to it?
I hope you will send me the facts about this child killer
vaccine, that’s all it is. I know the shot killed my son. They
had him in the iron lung from Saturday night until he died
Sunday evening.
I wish all mothers could read my letter so they would nothave to be broken hearted like I am now; so please feel free
to publish any part of my letter.
Yours truly,
Margaret Bynaker
Rt. 2, Dayton, Va.

FORUM OF THE PEOPLE
A FATHER ASKS: “ARE WE GUINEA PIGS?”
Nashville Banner, June 13, 1959
Editor’s Note: The Banner has carried reports of official
actions in connection with the refusal of Ben Gamble,
Edenwold Road, to allow his children to be inoculated with
Salk vaccine. He has asked this newspaper for the privilegeof stating his side of the case. His statement follows:
To the Editor of TheBanner: “Are We Guinea Pigs?”
For the benefit of an uninformed public I would like to makemy position, in refusing to have my children inoculated with
the Salk vaccine, better understood.
I am not a belligerent person, neither am I a conformist. I
try to obey the laws of the land, except where I think they
infringe my individual rights.
My Bible teaches me that the Creator sealed our bloodstream for specific reasons and with a lot more brains thanthe human race has today and that he did not intend it to
be polluted with so-called serum.
Good health, in my book, can be defined in two simple
words—assimilation and elimination. We are the product ofwhat we eat. I live in the country, grow my own vegetables onorganically fertilized soil and we have one cow from which
we obtain pure milk. I have read where the U. S. is the mostunhealthy nation in the world and the rejections made by
the Armed Services seem to confirm this fact.

361

Doctoring has become one of the most profitable professions, simply because people have been brain-washed byclever advertising to think that most of the foods we buy
in the stores is good for us, when in fact the reverse is quite
true. Our soil is being ruined by chemicals and the foods we
get in the store are all doctored with some form of additives
to prolong shelf life.
I wish you could read the stacks of mail I am receiving frompeople in all walks of life who praise me for the stand I havetaken against compulsory inoculation.
I think the following quotes from an article which appearedin the Tri-State Medical Journal, February, 1959, by Fred
B. Klenner, M.D., should be of interest:“In 1955 we were told by the National Foundation, theUnited States Public Health Service and ‘lesser’ Public
Health Departments, Medical Societies through their political officers and appointees that one injection of the currently
used polio vaccine would give prolonged, possibly life-time
protection. In 1956 we were told, after those receiving theinitial shot developed polio, that a ‘booster’ or second shot
was necessary to raise the protective antibody level to aheight whereby 90 per cent protection against paralytic
infection would be assured. In 1957 we were told, after thosereceiving the second injection also developed polio, that athird ‘shot’ was imperative to effect absolute protection. For
some this was their fourth and even fifth boosters. Now in1958 we are told that a fourth shot is “Expedient.”
Dr. Joseph L. Melnick, a professor at the Yale School of
Medicine had this to say: “We are not happy at the prospectof inoculating children year in and year out with the Salk

362

vaccine, for it contains monkey kidney protein which might(like the horse serum in Tetanus Antitoxin) produce allergic states if inoculated repeatedly over the years.” All must
remember that the present polio vaccine contains, besides
monkey protein, horse serum, formaldehyde, streptomycin
and penicillin as well as indicator dye and preservatives,
some of which, are also allergens. Feinberg reported thepossibility of primary sensitization to penicillin in very
low concentrations and stated, “The amount of penicillin in polio vaccine is small, but judging by its activity as
determined by us in tests of passively sensitized skin, it issufficient to produce reactions in highly sensitive patients.”
Zimmerman reported on six cases of penicillin reactions topolio vaccine which were controlled with penicillinase. All
physicians know that once an allergen is given to any individual the next dose, or the next might produce an allergic
reaction—and such reaction could be fatal.
The PHS states that it is doing everything possible toencourage production of more potent vaccine, which is anadmission that vaccine to-date has been weak and worthless.
It means that millions have received ‘Ostrich’ shots believing
themselves protected.
Dr. Henry W. Kumm, head of the National Foundation’s
division of virology and epidemiology recently made thestatement that the Salk vaccine for polio may soon be
replaced by a pill. He stressed that “it (polio) isn’t nearlyas finished as some people think. The number of cases in1958 was larger than 1942 when we had no Salk vaccine.”
Dr. Kumm admitted that a live virus vaccine should be more
efficient and should cost less. Dr. John J. Hanlon, directorof public health services, city of Philadelphia, Pa., statedrecently that “it is becoming clear that we must switch over363

to live-virus vaccine as soon as the scientists prove that it
is completely safe and effective, and it looks as though thiswill happen in the near future.”
Too long, now, has the medical profession only served asa medium in expressing the views of others. Politics andpoliticians have no place in medicine.
Misleading and seemingly deliberate false publication of
figures and comments on the merit of the so-called Salk
vaccine must forever be regretted. In North Carolina the
Public Health Service was claiming advantage for the vaccine two years before such injections were inaugurated. The
magic number of 90 per cent effectiveness for the assumed
killed virus vaccine against paralytic polio has never been
substantiated.

Polio is a complex infection. There is a definite reason which
will explain why a person comes down with non-paralytic
or paralytic disease or no disease at all. It is only naturalfor those interested in a specific program to think that theirviews alone prevail. Just why does a person, vaccinated triply
or 16 times or not at all come down with paralysis. Who
can at this moment say what the factors are that give protection to one group and not to another; paralytic disease
on one side of a street and not on the other. The fact thatthe total number of paralytic cases increased in 1958 eventhough 52,000,000 had been triply vaccinated is importantand significant. Paralytic disease in 1958 was up 43 per centover 1957 in spite of the fact that approximately 25,000,000
more persons had received the injections.
There is an old saying “It isn’t the things we don’t knowthat bothers us —but the things which we know and which
are not true.”364

I think J. H. Tilden, M.D., puts it about right, when hesaid—”It is exceedingly difficult to secure an honest hearing
for any criticism of authority.
Established beliefs are well nigh invulnerable because they
are accorded infallibility by the masses who are educated tobelieve that they will be damned for thinking, and becauseof this, few will tolerate opposition of any nature to anything they have been educated to believe. People who havetheir thinking done for them are always intolerant.”
It is a truism that we are living in a time the like of which
has never been seen before. We are front and center in abattle for men’s minds. Now as never before it is vital that
we have the truth, and yet there is an active conspiracy notjust to conceal the truth but even so change the facts. The
communications media are concentrated in the hands of afew men who are thereby enabled to manipulate the emotions of the American public at will.
In our present day world of new political techniques andmass publicity leverages, the unknowing are at the mercyof the knowing as never before, and it is not at all impossible that a clique wholly alien in aims to the interests of
the nation could gain the symbols and controls of power,
masquerading as the “government” of the nation while, inreality, exploiting it as a colony for their own private aims.
This raises the question as to how far a man of integrity
may be morally and patriotically bound to pursue a course
he knows to be injurious to his well being.
If you saw the Sister Kenny picture on TV June 8th you’ll
understand what I mean. Orthodox medicine has all but

365

destroyed competitive methods of healing such as homeopaths, osteopaths, chiropractor and naturopaths. However,in spite of this people are getting relief from such methods.
People should have the right to select the Doctor he thinks
can serve him best. It’s not the people who are wrong—it’s
the system.

TENNESSEE IS TO HAVE ANOTHER
MONKEY TRIAL ONLY THIS TIME
IT’S OVER MONKEY JUICE
By Ben Gamble
Well, it took the best legal talent the state could muster, at
taxpayers’ expense, to defend their position while I, as ataxpayer, must pay my attorney to protect my children fromhaving their blood polluted with this monkey juice which
they say has been 80% effective in preventing polio.
On the face of it, you know that’s not true and therecords show we have more polio this year than last.
I may be a “craggy” faced person as stated in June 28th
issue of the Sunday Tennessean and I may even be one of
the thousands of crackpots which Dr. Lentz mentioned
in previous articles. However, I am a law-abiding citizen
in what we all hope is free America and under the Bill of
Rights of our Constitution I hope I still have this right toprotect my children from having their blood contaminatedwith the organs from some poor unfortunate animal whose
death and suffering must be heard by my God who promises
to punish all who disobey his laws.
My case is attracting world-wide attention. I havereceived letters and a great many statistics from several foreign countries where the Salk and other poisonous serums
have been outlawed.
Maybe a poor country man like me can’t expect to get hisside of this dirty situation presented under the Iron Curtain
laws which are worse than those of Hitler or Russia which
are being used to drug and brainwash us into submission.
I may even have to go to jail because my rights as afree man have been taken over by a more powerful money
grabbing group who have the means to crucify me on the
cross of freedom.

367

This case will hurt Tennessee far more than it will me.
People will hesitate to come here when they learn what
their children must submit to before they can go to school
here in Davidson County. I have received letters from allover this country praising my position in this matter and I
wish to quote the following from a letter which I recently
received from the health officer from one of the largest cities
in this country:“I am happy to see you challenge the constitutionality of
the Salk Vaccine law in Tennessee. It seems to me that yourbasic defense should be along the following lines:
Public Health authority re communicable disease control is based on the right of people to be protected against
an individual who has a communicable disease, and who istherefore a threat to them. Thus we have the authority toquarantine certain diseases e.g. tuberculosis or to require
immunizations which are capable of preventing the spreadof a disease if the person in question is to associate publicly
with others e.g. smallpox and diphtheria immunizations. In
the latter cases the immunizing agent not only prevents deleterious effects of the disease but more pertinently prevents
the person from being infected with the disease which in turnmakes him incapable of becoming a spreader of the disease.
It is by preventing the infection that the deleterious effectsof the disease is prevented. From a public health point ofview, then, when we require quarantine or immunization itis primarily to protect the public at large from the individualand only secondarily to protect the individual. This we cancontrast to a non-communicable disease program where
our primary interest is to protect the individual e.g. we mayadvise yearly chest x-rays for the detection of lung cancer or
periodic vaginal exams and testing for women to detect earlycervical cancer. But our authority does not permit us tomake this mandatory because of the non-communicability368

of the disease. It is for this reason that our most important work in health education is accomplished by educationand not by regulation. Most states in the United States e.g.
Illinois, also feel that even in the case of communicable disease control through immunization it is preferred that in a
democracy this be accomplished by education rather thanby law. (I can make available a quotation to this effect fromthe standard text on public health administration).
Now the Salk vaccine is a very peculiar immunizing
agent. The Salk vaccine is only alleged to protect the individual from the paralytic effects of a polio infection in agiven individual by blocking the virus in its passage fromthe alimentary tract to the nervous system through the circulating blood. The evidence is extensive at present (and I
can give you the literature on this) that the Salk vaccine does
not prevent the alimentary infection with the polio virus
so that the child or adult vaccinated with the Salk vaccine
still remains a threat to others by virtue of the continuingdischarge of polio virus from his throat and from the intestinal tract even though he is alleged to be protected from theparalytic effects of the infection by stopping the spread fromthe intestinal tract to the central nervous system throughthe blood stream.
The Salk vaccine, then, is uniquely different from smallpox, and diphtheria immunizations because it does notprevent the spread of the infection and therefore it does
not prevent the public from the polio infection but it only
protects the given individual vaccinated (if it works) fromthe paralytic effect of the disease.
To require obligatory vaccination for the sake of the individual is radically different from requiring vaccination forthe sake of the public or for the common good. It infringes
on a basic right of an individual to freely accept or rejectsomething that is being done to his body. This principle is369

quite obvious in surgery. A patent has a right to refuse what
may even turn out to be a lifesaving measure. At any rate no
patient is operated upon unless he voluntarily gives written
permission. The same applies to medication. No person
can be forced to take medication except under the special
circumstances of being a threat to others. But even in thequarantine law for tuberculosis, where a patient refuses toundergo treatment which would make him non-communicable he still retains the right (intrinsic) to remain quarantinedrather than accept treatment.
This I believe then should be your primary defense: theright of an individual to refuse a vaccination when the effectof the vaccine at best can only protect him and contributes
no protection to the public at large. Smallpox and diphtheria do both: they protect the disease from spreading, andprotect the individual from getting the infection and thereby
the disease. The Salk vaccine does not effect the spread ofthe disease it only and allegedly protects the individual inoculated from the paralytic effects of the infection.
Your defense, however, should not stop here—for thefollowing reasons:
1. Most experts will agree that enough time hasn’t passed
as yet to really know whether the vaccine is effective. At
present, our evidence is mostly circumstantially or statistically contrived.
2. The manufacturing process of the vaccine has not as
yet been standardized.
a) Potency cannot be guaranteed, and much of the vaccine on the market since regulations were introduced trying
to make the vaccine safe (May 1955 and Nov. 1955) haveno potency or antigenetic capacity at all. (See Time Jan.
19, 1959). Medicine: Much of the material used in about
200,000 U. S. inoculations has been no good. As a result, an
all-out effort to improve the commercially produced vaccine370

is now being made. Until this succeeds, individuals who havealready had three injections should get a fourth.)b) Safety cannot be guaranteed. Naturally the vaccine issafer to the degree that it has no virus (i.e. antigen or potency).
However, the manufacturing process does not insure safetyof the vaccine. Safety can only be determined by:
1. Safety tests after the manufacture of the vaccine. But
the safety tests aren’t foolproof.
2. By surveilling its effect after it has been given tochildren.
The Salk vaccine is the only approved drug on the market which the USPHS constantly surveys in order to makesure that it is safe. If it were intrinsically safe there would
be no need for this.
3. Finally part of the defense can well center around thefact that vested interests (drug houses, National Foundation
for Infantile Paralysis) and over-committed parties (USPHS,
American Medical Association, mass communicators,) andfor the most part, only those items which are favorable, getto the laity or the physicians. That which is unfavorable isrepressed or screened out.
For instance, the vaccine failed in the Hawaiian epidemicof 1958. But the USPHS stopped reporting on this in theirconfidential reports when this was becoming evident. Thereis much testimony to this effect.
In this connection, two recent items will interest you:a) A four-line item in the Chicago Daily News, Tues., May
5, 1959 London (UPL): “Dr. Jonas Salk Tuesday defended
his polio vaccine against attack by the World HealthOrganization.” b) Chicago Daily News (May 28, 1959),
Duluth, Minn. (UPI) “One of the developers of a new oral
polio vaccine said Wednesday the recent use of Salk vaccine in Israel had ‘little if any effect.’ Dr. Herald R. Coxof Lederle Laboratories, which seeks to market the new371

vaccine, suggested the ineffectiveness of Salk inoculations
during a round table discussion at the Minnesota State
Medical Association convention. Cox said a confidential
report on a polio epidemic showed 90% of children under
6 years old in Israel were given Salk shots. But the outbreakbecame an epidemic, he said. It is evident that the vaccine
failed,” Cox said.
The Israel epidemic occurred in 1958 prior to September.
I have seen no reference to this epidemic in this country.
There was an item on it in the Lancet (a British medical
journal) in the Oct. 11, 1958 issue on page 766. This wasa summary report on the Fifth European Symposium on
Poliomyelitis held in Madrid on Sept. 3 8-300. Two reports
are of interest:
1. “Dr. Payne reported that Israel had an epidemicof several hundred cases in 1958, affecting equally thoseunvaccinated and those vaccinated with Salk’s vaccine andtechnique. Three doses, but certainly not two doses, “perhaps” had a slightly beneficial effect.”
2. Commercial vaccines were indifferent; and we wanted
them three times, and in some instances six times morepotent than they were, especially as regards Typell.”Aristotle suggests in his treatise on Politics that the electorate, like the medically educated layman, the “user”, soto speak, may “turn” out to be a better “judge” than theexperts, the statesmen and the political scientist on the one
hand, and the practicing physician and the medical scientist
on the other.
Two months ago at a polio meeting in N. Y., I foundout that, in Israel 70% of the vaccine used to immunize thechildren under 6 was Lilly vaccine. In this country Lilly sells
the most and has the worst, but they seem to have somekind of a tie-up with Salk, Basil O’Connor and the USPHS.
I am running out of time. Under separate cover I372

will send you all my published writings on the vaccine.
Everything I have written in the past still holds. I am sorrythat my work load has not permitted me to write more.
But when I can get my hands on a $5,000 grant to facilitate
matters I intend to do a book. I have managed to keep up
on everything that has been going on.
If you need more help from me let me know. This
Friday I leave for the meetings of the American Medical
Association in Atlantic City and will be there for most of theweek. Over the weekend I expect to visit family in N. Y. andwill be back to my desk by June 17th. I will do what I canfor you, circumstances permitting. To repeat, however, mywork load gets heavy and pressing and I can’t always answer
immediately. If it is urgent, however, I will manage to.
I do think, however, that the North Carolina andTennessee law is both unconstitutional and unwise, and I
do believe by demonstrating this in the court you will contribute a great service to science.”
It was the obvious intent of the 1909 Private Act tocompel immunization “shots” against communicable orcontagious diseases. It has never been proven that polio iscontagious. To be consistent Dr. Lentz should restrict theintermingling or association between the Davidson County
residents and those from other areas. It might be interesting
to know what the incidence of polio is in adjoining counties
where shots are not compulsory and where a far less percentage in the 40 and under group who have availed themselvesof this so-called protection.
Why is it that polio is on the increase in spite of theincreased number taking the Salk shots. Why is it if Salk
shots are 80% effective that there are repeated warnings
and scare headlines suggesting the possibility of a polio
epidemic.
I am very grateful to the Nashville Banner for the space373

they have given me to present my position in this importantmatter which really effects every family in our state and I
am sorry to say that our other newspaper has not seen fit
to give me the same privilege, however, at my trial I shallhave witnesses from various parts of the country who haveoffered their services to testify in my defense and if the people can get the true facts, I’m sure that during this trial, agreat many important facts shall be brought out and I am
sure when it’s all over, justice will be done.

THE AMERICAN CANCER SOCIETY
Copyrighted article by David M. Kasson, taken from
Issue #65, April, 1957 of The Independent, ($3.00 yearly),
225 Lafayette St., New York 12, New York.
Reprinted by Special Permission of Lyle Stuart, Editor of
the former, The Independent—now known as Expose.
“I believe, after a careful study, that the policies of theAmerican Cancer Society are open to question.
“The American Cancer Society was organized in 1913
by a group of public-spirited physicians and laymen. In 1937
the Society launched its first annual drive to obtain funds
from the public. It was an honest endeavor, and the activitiesof the Society during this period can be commended.
“In 1945 the Society was reorganized. A group of influential businessmen joined the Board of Directors, and a
program of research was added to complement educationand service to the cancer patient.
The new Board of Directors introduced two features
into the activities of the Society: get more money from thepublic and have an exclusively layman’s society distribute
funds for research.
“First, let us consider who were the ‘influential businessmen’ who, in 1945, joined the Board of Directors. Amongthe directors ‘elected’ to the new Board of the American
Cancer Society were: Mr. Elmer H. Bobst (of William H.
Warner Co.) who became Chairman of the Board, and Mr.
James S. Adams (of Lazard Freres etc. Co., New York) who
became the Treasurer.
“During the following ten years the team Adams andBobst has influenced decisively the fate of cancer researchin America. During this time, Bobst acted as the owner375

of the various Warner-enterprises (mostly dealing inpharmaceuticals) and Adams acted as the banker of theWarner-enterprises. (Warner-enterprises have recently beentaken over by Lazard Freres etc. Co.)
“There is a record of Bobst’s activities prior to his election as the Chairman of the American Cancer Society. In thebook of Mr. Wendel Berge, Assistant Attorney General of
the U. S.: Cartels, Challenge to a Free World (Public Affairs
Press, Washington, D. C.) Elmer H. Bobst is mentioned
among those who were prosecuted by the Dept. of Justicefor violation of the anti-trust laws.
“On December 17, 1941, Bobst was found guilty by the
Court, and fined $6,000.
“The violations of the law of which Bobst was foundguilty, included ‘the hostility of cartel members toward a
new product which endangers their control of the market.
... In the field of synthetic hormones the cartel control has
been such as to be detrimental to our national interest’ (p.
81).
“Among the methods used by the cartels Mr. Berge
quotes: ‘It has attempted to suppress the publication ofscientific research data which were at variance with its
monopoly interest. (p. 84). Research in U. S. has been seriously affected by restrictions imposed by foreign cartel
members’. (p. 58).
“Methods to increase money collected from the public
met with success. In 1938 the drive brought in $133,487; in1950 this rose to $13,916, 396 and in 1955 to $24,427,102.
“When a cancer drive for contributions is put on, a scare
and accomplishment campaign in the public press is put
into effect. Scare slogans are used such as, ‘One in six will
die of cancer,’ ‘Seven Danger Signals,’ ‘Woman has to learn
to examine her breasts at regular monthly intervals,’ ‘Rapid
progress is being made,’ ‘Startling discovery,’ ‘Knocking a376

hole in the tumor,’ ‘Crash attack on cancer.’ The scare publicity whips the public to a state of mass hysteria.
“In reality, about one in 500 dies each year of cancer
and there have been no significant advances made by theorganization-controlled researchers of any importance.
“Concerning the distribution of the money to the right,
scientists, wasting it on sterile projects, or its use for corruption, the public has no chance to advise or to decide.
“The monopolizing of cancer research started immediately after the new Board was elected to the American
Cancer Society. In time, it was perfected. The public accepted
the new idea, not realizing that research money in the handsof laymen acting without real control, would easily be usedby unscrupulous people to corrupt science.
“In 1947 a new institution called ‘The Damon Runyon
Memorial Fund for Cancer Research’ was created. The
Fund was successful. As of July 1954, $7,689,218 has beencollected from the public.
“The main promoter of this Fund was the former
radio-commentator Walter Winchell. Winchell was on radio
time paid for by Warner Co. The funds of Damon Runyon
Memorial were and are administered by the American
Cancer Society. Large funds were also obtained from theU. S. Atomic Commission.
“There was an intertwining of institutions such as theJane Coffin Childs fund, the Babe Ruth Foundation andothers. Through this coordination the American Cancer
Society was in complete control of public money spent forcancer research.
“Close relationship was created between the Society and
the National Cancer Institute of the U. S. Public HealthService to which the Congress every year votes many millions of dollars for cancer research.
“Dr. John R. Heller, Director of the Institute, became a377

member of the Board of the American Cancer Society, andJames S. Adams of the American Cancer Society became amember of the National Advisory Council of the Institute.
“It was now possible to monopolize this money for projects agreeable to the combine, and to deny it to outsiders.
“In spite of the financial domination of Adams-Bobst,
who had every year about $50,000,000 to distribute, there
are independent scientists who did not cooperate. A way
was devised to annihilate them. The Society announced
a new service, described by them as follows: This service
assumes a “watch-dog’ responsibility concerning unscrupulous attempts to exploit the universal suffering of cancer
in appeals for funds or in respect to ‘cures’ and unproved
methods of treatment.
“They now stood with the angels, wrapped in virtue.
“Thus a layman’s society imposes a censorship, self-appointed, upon an important branch of science, promoting
itself to a position of scientific authority. When this ‘service’is consulted, it ‘warns’ people not to give money for projects
to which the Society is hostile, or to try any treatment not
approved by the Society.
“$1,500,000 in Advertising—In consequence, cancer
patients, pronounced hopeless, are deprived of the opportunity of getting relief from newly discovered treatments, and,in addition, the ban of new procedures makes futile endeavors by independents to develop a new, successful method.
“It is surprising that these activities of the American
Cancer Society, which are detrimental to the public health,
are tolerated and even often supported by the American
Medical Association. In late years, this Association haschanged basically.
“While before, the Association acted as the promoterof public health and clinical medicine, now it behaves like aunion of medical practitioners which exclusively promotes378

the welfare of its members without regard for the public
interest. The Journal of the AMA, which is regarded as themouthpiece of medical progress, publishes many articles insupport of the American Cancer Society without careful
investigation of their correctness.
“The American Cancer Society spends $1,500,000 inadvertising. It is obvious that such a sum must bring results,
publicity wise. On the other hand, anything critical of theSociety is not accepted for publication. Money talks.
“The American Cancer Society is conscious of thedanger of losing public support as it becomes clear that
nothing of value is developed. Therefore, every year before
the drive for money begins, the Society inspires reportsof “tremendous” achievements in the press. Statistics arequoted showing cancer cures increasing.
“These statistics are fortified by statements issued byFederal Government Agencies.
“As a recent example, we quote the information wired
on March 20, 1956 to newspapers: ‘Dr. Leonard A. Scheele,
the Surgeon General of the U. S. Public Health Service,stated the rate of cure in cancer cases increased in the pastten years from 15% to more than 50%. These figures areunsupported. Statistics of the last ten years would indicate
this claim to be absurd.
“After Scheele lost his position of Surgeon General, hebecame the President of Warner-Lambert Pharmaceutical
Company, a corporation controlled by Adams-Bobst.
“No action by the government was taken on the situation. Could the fact that Bobst was important in the
Republican Party where he kept the purse as its Treasurer
have had any influence? Bobst also made contacts with
important people in the Democratic party.
“As a consequence, the problem of cancer is at an
impasse, and one of the main stumbling blocks of progress379

appears to be the activities of the American Cancer Society
and its affiliates.
“Cancer research requires money. The expense for chemicals, experimental animals, and for salaries of indispensableassistants and technicians, amounts to considerable sums
which only rarely can be afforded by the research-conduction scientist. The independent researcher must have public
support. Many prominent people, being convinced that they
help fight cancer, have made sacrifices in time, work andmoney to assist the American Cancer Society.
“When an independent scientist applies to the American
Cancer Society, or associated organizations, for funds,
regardless of his background or reputation, he is often put
through an agonizing experience. Needless to say, he does
not get any help.
“Funds collected by these charity appeals, go for researchand development to their friends. When a new, importantdevelopment is announced, the drug monopoly, can, in thisway, receive the benefit of the public money in the form of
profits received from the products of their manufacture soldto the public.
“I believe in capitalism and democracy. I believe in the
profit motive. I am bitterly opposed to Communism. I am
also bitterly opposed, and always have been to monopoly. If
a medical conspiracy exists, it would be particularly damnable as it would involve the matter of life and death.”380

LETTER TO JUDGE HOMER B. WEIMAR
From Duon Miller
June 12, 1959
Judge Homer B. Weimar
Court House
Nashville, Tenn.
Dear Sir:
Articles in the local papers relative to the polio inoculation
program in Tennessee, have been very disturbing to me.
After years of being president, following my founding of
Polio Prevention, Inc., and knowing the truth about polio,
this whole thing upsets me. I am sending you a book which
you may keep, titled The Poisoned Needle.
Dr A. J. Shadman, medical doctor, and perhaps the greatest, published the fact that there is no such thing as a“virus”. Dr. Shadman documents this in his new book
Who Is Your Doctor And Why?
Polio vaccine is based on a non-existent virus, therefore
considered by all of us as fraudulent. I understand I am
being called to testify at the hearing which I’ll gladly do
because I’ve been in perhaps closer touch with polio situations than any other one man in this country.
I published over five million pieces of literature, not one
word of which has ever been refuted or disproven.
When the truth is known, the people in Tennessee will beshocked beyond description to think that humans could381

stoop as low as they have in connection with this polio
vaccine which has crippled and killed untold numbers of
innocent children as well as adults.
I pray to our Creator that the sealed blood streams of thechildren of Tennessee will not be violated through fraud.
Respectfully yours,
Duon H. Miller

SALK SHOTS BLAMEDBY POLIO VICTIM’S FATHERThe Nashville Banner
Thursday, July 9, 1959
A State Penitentiary guard, whose eight-year-old son diedof polio Saturday today vowed his daughter, seven months,
would “never” be administered Salk anti-polio vaccine.
“I firmly believe those shots put the polio germ in myboy,” said David Edwards, whose son, Billy Gene, had been
vaccinated with a series of three Sail shots.
“I should have stuck to my feelings and never allowed
him, or my other children, to be vaccinated,” Edwards added
tearfully.
His son, who would have been a third grader at Lipscomb
School this September, died at General Hospital.
The boy was rushed there Friday after he began vomiting. His temperature also had soared, but he was released
after treatment.
“Early Saturday morning he couldn’t even stand up,”said Edwards. “We rushed him back to the hospital ... hedied several hours later.”
The cause of death—paralytic bulbar polio—was determined after an autopsy. Result of the autopsy was revealed
Wednesday, but Edwards said he has not received official
word from the hospital.
“All I know is what I read in the paper ... that my boy
died of polio. The doctor said I’d be the first to know after
the autopsy, but he hasn’t called me yet,” Edwards said.
Prior to death. Edwards said his son was apparently in
a coma, had difficulty breathing and couldn’t talk.
“I’ve always been opposed to those shots,” Edwards said.
“My wife has, too. She never was for them. I didn’t want383

them to give the shots to my children, but my wife said she
was told that if they were to go to school they’d have to havethem, so I gave in.
“I guess I felt if I didn’t let the children take the shots
and then one of them came down with polio ... well, youknow what people would say.”
Edwards said he would not allow one of his daughters,
Wanda Sue, seven months, to be given the Salk vaccine. He
said his other six children, ranging in age from six to 14,
all have been given three shots each. He said he would notallow them to be administered the fourth shot.
Dr. John J. Lentz, city-county health director, said hewould not attempt to have the children given the fourth shot.
“We recommend the fourth shot, but that’s all,” Dr.
Lentz said.
Because Wanda Sue is not of school age, Dr. Lentz said
there would be no attempt to administer the vaccine to her.
The death of Billy Gene was the third attributed to polio
in Tennessee this year, said Dr. C. B. Tucker, in charge ofthe disease division of the State Health Department. Dr.
Tucker added that Billy was the only one of the three that
had been given the shots. One of the deaths was in Januaryin Knoxville and the other was a Nashville Negro who diedlast month.
Six cases of polio have been reported in the state during
1959, Dr. Tucker added. All had at least one or more Salk
shots.
Edwards, who resides with his wife and children at 178
Wharf Ave., had been a penitentiary guard for two years.
His son was buried in Woodbury Sunday afternoon.
Next month Ben Gamble, a Nashville Electric Service
laborer, is to stand trial in Criminal Court on a charge ofrefusing to allow two of his school-age children to be vaccinated against polio.

384

A special venire will be called to select the jury to try
Gamble before Judge Homer Weimar.
The jurist recently declared constitutional a little-known
state law which requires children to be inoculated against
various diseases.
Conviction on the charge is a misdemeanor.
Gamble of Edenwold has said he feels the anti-polio
shots are “really more harmful than good.”“When a boy reaches 16 nowadays, his blood is half fullof medicine,” Gamble has commented.

ADDRESS BY MISS LILY LOAT
A quotation from Philosophy of HealthJanuary, 1927
Edited by J. H. Tilden, M.D.
“It may interest our readers, who are, no doubt, allinterested in the vaccination question, to learn that Miss
Lily Loat, for many years secretary of the National AntiVaccination League of Great Britain, has been touring thestates and has been giving lectures in various parts of thecountry. From the address given by Miss Loat before theEnglish Annual Session of the American Medical Liberty
League we quote the following as reported through that
astute and courageous paper, The Truth Teller, of Battle
Creek, Michigan:
Our own fight against vaccination has been a long andarduous battle. While individuals and small groups werefighting for freedom in this matter as far back as the timeof the passing of the compulsory vaccination act of 1853.
the definitely organized struggle started with the passingof the harsh vaccination act of 1867, which aimed at compelling every parent of a child to have that child vaccinatedwithin three months of birth. Those who refused could beordered by the magistrates over and over again until thechild attained the age of fourteen to have it vaccinated andcould be fined for each refusal to comply with such magistrates’ orders. This law was passed on the assurance ofthe leaders of the medical profession that vaccination was
perfectly safe and a certain protection against smallpox.
Although the sanitary condition of England had improved
very considerably since the disastrous smallpox epidemic of
1838 (and in this connection for some idea of London in
the seventeenth and earliest part of the eighteenth century386

1 would refer you to Mrs. Dorothy George’s book, London
Life in the Eighteenth Century).
Although there was certainly a gradual improvement,things were still bad, and between 1853 and 1867 there were
three fairly severe smallpox epidemics. The supporters ofvaccination played on the fears of the legislators of thatday and secured the vaccination act of 1867 without muchtrouble. But in doing so they lit a fire of resistance thathas never been quenched amongst men and women of theAnglo-Saxon race. That fight for freedom from medical tyranny in this particular matter has been waged in Englandfor nearly sixty years and it is going on still.
For many years it was confined mainly to the poorer
classes. Only a very few men of intellect and distinction
championed our cause. It was natural that most of the disasters due to vaccination should fall on the poorer classes andthat those classes should publish them while the upper andmiddle classes would be more likely to keep such things tothemselves. But by degrees what might be called the artisan
class, the smaller shopkeepers and the lower middle classes
became the backbone of the movement. They paid large
sums in fines, they had their goods seized and sold when
they could not or would not pay fines. Those who had no
goods or would not let them be seized went to prison, somewere ruined, and some emigrated to avoid ruin. There aremen living in America today whose parents left Englandon account of the harsh vaccination acts. The public saw
honorable, upright men appearing again and again before
the magistrates and many began to ask what it could mean
when such men were willing to go to such lengths to savetheir children from the operation. Inquiry was usually followed by conversion to our side and the side of resistancewent higher and higher. Defense funds were formed all overthe country to assist resisters either to pay the fines inflicted387

on them or to keep the wives and families when the men
went to jail. In more than one case a widow went to prison
for carrying out her husband’s injunction never to have thechildren vaccinated. Elections for boards of guardians—thepublic authority that had the administration of the vaccination law in its charge—were fought on the vaccinationquestion, and by the year 1898 at least one-fifth of the 600 or
more boards in England were pledged not to enforce the law.
Four very important things happened between the passing of the vaccination act of 1867 and the passing of the actof 1898, which contained the first conscience clause.
The first was the smallpox epidemic of 1870-72, which
carried off 44,000 persons in England and Wales and proved
to hundreds of thousands of people that vaccination is not
a protection against smallpox, for that epidemic occurred
when 971/2 per cent of the people over two and under fifty
had either had smallpox or been vaccinated, as was stated by
Sir John Simon, chief medical officer to the Privy Council,
in his evidence before the select committee which in 1871
inquired into the vaccination act of 1867.
The second very important event was the passing of
the great public health act of 1875. The sanitarians had
been preaching for years that unless the laws of health wereobserved no country could be free from any form of zymotic
disease, while the vaccinators said, in effect, that you could
be as filthy as you liked, only be vaccinated and you would
be saved from smallpox. The epidemic of 1870-72 showedthat the sanitarians were right and this great act which governs practically all sanitary observances in England today
was passed by Parliament some two years after the close of
the epidemic.
The third great event was the conversion of two men highup in the medical profession to our side, namely, Dr. Charles
Creighton and Professor Edgar M. Crookshank. There had

388been many other registered doctors who had fought vaccination in England, right from the time Jenner introduced his
discovery, but they were not of the standing of these men andthey did not write such comprehensive, logical, dispassionate
and scientific books as these two men did.
Dr. Creighton was asked about the year 1884 to write
the article on vaccination for the ninth edition of theEncyclopedia Britannica. He agreed to do so, but insteadof contenting himself with the usual stock statements hewent right back to Jenner’s own writings and to contemporary documents. He searched the pro- and anti-vaccination
literature of many countries and came to the conclusionthat vaccination is a “grotesque superstition.” He wrote to
the editor of the Encyclopedia Britannica and said: “If you
want an apologetic article, I am not the man to write it.”
The editor promised to publish whatever he wrote and soin the ninth edition of the Encyclopedia the article on vaccination is an anti-vaccination article. About the same time
Creighton wrote a little book called Cowpox and Vaccinal
Syphilis and a year or so later a larger book called Jenner
and Vaccination.
In 1887 Dr. Edgar M. Crookshank, who at that time wasprofessor of pathology and bacteriology at King’s College,
was asked by the government to investigate an outbreak of
cowpox in Wiltshire. Sir James Paget drew his attention to
Creighton’s work, evidently hoping that Crookshank would
refute it, but the results of his laborious investigations arecontained in two large volumes entitled The History andPathology of Vaccination, in which he says that the credit
given to vaccination belongs to sanitation and isolation andthat nothing would more redound to the credit of the medical profession than to give up their faith in vaccination.
Although written some forty years ago, these books havenever been answered.

389

The fourth great event in this period was the appointment of a royal commission to inquire into certain aspectsof the vaccination question. This commission was appointed
in 1889 and sat for seven years. It issued six reports andreported finally in 1896.
When they were appointed nearly all the commissioners
were strongly in favor of vaccination and although most ofthem never surrendered their faith in the operation, after
hearing evidence from the anti-vaccinists, they unanimously
agreed that at least repeated prosecutions for the same child
ought to be stopped. Two of them issued a minority or
dissent report, which is, in effect, an anti-vaccination document. Even the majority commissioners went so far as
to admit that vaccination was not a permanent protection
against smallpox and that it had done injury—injury thatwas not inconsiderable in gross amount. They suggested
that in the case of genuine objectors the compulsory law
should be relaxed, but this was in the hope of stopping theagitation against vaccination rather than from any kindly
feeling for the objectors.
The result of the commissioners’ report was the vaccination act of 1898. In its first form this did not containa conscience clause, but it did contain a clause forbidding
repeated penalties for the same offense. An election at the
town of Reading, fought on the vaccination question,induced the government to insert a conscience clause into
its vaccination act. This was against the wishes of a large
number of its own supporters, but although they lost theelection, they carried out their promise and passed the billwith the conscience clause included.
This conscience clause, which the anti-vaccinists had
opposed, knowing that its passage into law would greatly
delay the repeal of the compulsory clauses of the vaccination acts, was a very poor affair. Bench after bench of390

magistrates refused to grant exemption, no matter how
strong the applicant’s reasons might be. Men went to court
as many as seven times and then failed to get exemption andwere subsequently prosecuted for not having their children
vaccinated.
The league agitated and agitated until the act of 1907
was passed by the Liberal government which came into office
after the election of 1906, during which the anti-vaccinists
had worked strenuously and had got pledges to vote for the
repeal of compulsion from over 300 of those returned to
Parliament.
That act under which an objector had to make a statutory declaration of his objection to vaccination before
the baby is four months old, has resulted in the exemption of nearly five million children in England and Wales
under sixteen years of age. These are mainly the childrenof the middle and working classes, as we call them, but
we have support in the higher ranks of society. The duchess of Hamilton’s seven children are all exempted and twoof them have King George and Queen Mary as sponsors.
Lady Maud Warrender, who also moves in royal circles,
paid a fine sooner than have her son vaccinated. Lady Isabel
Margesson, sister of the Earl of Buckinghamshire, is a member of the league.
Among scientists our most notable supporters were
Alfred Russel Wallace and Herbert Spencer.
We have fifteen or sixteen registered medical men as
vice-presidents of our league and there are some thirty others who more or less sympathize with our work. That the
number is not more is easily understood. Medical students
in England do not study the vaccination question. It is taken
for granted at all the medical schools and no student darequestion what he is taught. He has to cram a vast amountof book knowledge into his brain and he has neither the391

time nor the inclination to study any subject not needed for
his examinations. When he qualifies he goes into generalpractice or becomes a specialist, but as the majority of thevaccinations in England are done by the 4,000 public vaccinators, most of the doctors see very little of the operation.
They do not realize the harm done by it and their minds
have been closed up when they were students.
Of literary men, George Bernard Shaw is our mostnoted supporter.
Important developments are in sight in England. Early
this year the government appointed a committee of inquiry
into vaccine lymph. It is certain that the present glycerinated calf lymph has caused deaths from “sleepy-sickness”
in England, two London professors having brought to thenotice of the government seven of such cases at the end of
the year 1922. At the Paris Academy of Medicine in July,
1925, doctors discussed deaths from this disease which had
occurred shortly after vaccination in Holland and other
European countries. At the beginning of this year there wasa conference at The Hague under the auspices of the healthcommittee of the League of Nations, which discussed many
matters in connection with smallpox, vaccine lymph, etc.,
and finally decided to ask each country represented there to
appoint a committee to investigate these matters.
Smallpox in England has declined almost to the vanishing point and the recognized dangers of vaccination willprobably induce the government to drop compulsory infant
vaccination altogether and substitute for it the compulsory
vaccination of all persons who have been in contact withsmallpox. This, of course, we shall resist with all our mightso far as our friends will allow.
In answer to an article headed Vaccination Wins Againin the Detroit Saturday Night Press, Miss Loat asks:(1) That the disease which is being diagnosed as smallpox

392

in unvaccinated persons in England is hardly distinguishable
from chickenpox, the absence or presence of vaccination
marks being the fact that definitely decides the diagnosis.
This has been admitted by English medical officers ofhealth and the Ministry of Health has twice stated in answer
to questions in Parliament that vaccination is one factor in
the diagnosis of these cases.
(2) That as in those districts where this very mild diseaseis running the vast majority of the children are unvaccinated, it would be difficult for the disease to find a child
who had been vaccinated in infancy to attack.
(3) That those cases which, though vaccinated immediately after being in contact with this alleged smallpox,
subsequently contract it, are all classified as unvaccinated.
(4) That in spite of these official attempts to make out
a case for vaccination, the fatality rate of the unvaccinatedcases in England is less than half of the vaccinated cases.
(5) That the English Ministry of Health omits to statethat in 1872, when 85 per cent of the infants born were vaccinated, there were 19,000 deaths from smallpox in Englandand Wales, while in 1925, when less than half the children
born were vaccinated, there were only 6 deaths from thatdisease.
The history of vaccination and smallpox in Englandcan be summed up in these words, the truth of which isapparent to any unbiased student of our national statistics:“Much vaccination, little sanitation, much smallpox; little
vaccination, improved sanitation, little smallpox.”
The children of England, five million of whom areunvaccinated, were never healthier than they are today.
The people have shown their detestation of vaccination andneither persuasion nor force will induce them to submit towhat the famous Dr. Charles Creighton called “a grotesquesuperstition.”

OPEN LETTERTO GOVERNOR KNIGHT
447 Crane Blvd.
Los Angeles 65, Calif.
Dec. 31, 1956
Governor Goodwin J. Knight
State Capitol
Sacramento, Calif.
Dear Governor Knight:
According to reports in the papers you are asking for$3,000,000 of public funds to furnish Salk vaccine to
California adults under 40 years of age as well as to thechildren.
As a taxpayer and a spokesman for a large group of thinking
people, I feel justified in asking why you are wasting thislarge sum of our tax money to promote a scheme that has
not proved to be either safe or beneficial in the light of true
investigation. We know this vaccine has killed many people
and caused paralysis in many more who would, undoubtedly, have been well today without the shots of Salk toxoid.
In spite of all the high pressure sales talk and advertising technique, plus the false reports and garbled statistics
designed to sell the people and their leaders this dangerous
vaccine, enough of the truth has leaked out so that 17 states
have already rejected their supplies of Salk vaccine. Why
should our great state be the slowest to wake up to thismonstrous fraud?
According to an AP report (Dec. 13) “Only 4 states haveused up their grants from the $53,600,000 federal appropriation to aid states in providing free vaccine to people394

under 20 years of age.” It is evident that the people do notwant this deadly vaccine and have not been induced to use
it up. It is bad enough to have President Eisenhower rob us
for this large sum, but why should you rob us again for thesame thing?
Health Director Peterson of Idaho didn’t mince words when
he stated, to the press, that polio struck only vaccinatedchildren in areas where there had been no cases of polio
since the preceding autumn. “In 9 out of 10 cases the paralysis occurred in the arms in which the vaccine had been
Injected.”
After the American Public Health Service announced that
there had been “168 confirmed cases of poliomyelitis among
the vaccinated with 6 deaths . . .’ the Salk promoters clamped
down a rigid censorship on the reporting of Salk casualties
and the people were told that there were none and that thevaccine was safe and successful.
Even Surgeon General Scheele admitted (to the closed session of the convention of the AMA) that “Salk vaccine ishard to make and no batch can be proved safe before it isgiven to children.” Yet, the public was immediately told thatthe vaccine was SAFE. They also announced that it was theintention to vaccinate 57,000,000 people before Aug. 1955
(before the propagandized people had a chance to learn of
its dangers.) One paper reported that the promoters expected
a five billion dollar profit from the vaccine. (See page 29 of
Hidden Dangers in Polio Vaccine, enclosed.)
We elected you because we had confidence in your integrity
and ability. If you have been deceived by these ruthless promoters of a multi-million dollar racket, it is time to turn thetables and open an honest investigation. On the other hand
if you are associated with them and knowingly fostering395

a program that is doing damage to the people under yourleadership you will, sooner or later, have to face charges thatwill not be altogether pleasing.
I am enclosing the booklet titled Hidden Dangers in Polio
Vaccine which is a compilation of some of the latest findingson the Salk vaccine program and its hazards as well as othervital information about polio. W believe it is worthy of yourserious attention. It is to be hoped that this information will
help you to gain a broader view of the subject that will help
you to reverse your decision on this life and death issue. We
ask that you withdraw your ca? for public funds to support
private rackets.
Yours for Enlightenment and Progress,
Eleanor Mcbean
Dear Friend:
From an answer I received from Governor Knight, it seems
he is determined to use this $3,000,000 he has already takenfrom the taxpayers, and he suggest raising still more, tovaccinate the whole population under forty. This obviously
would be very dangerous to those infected with this poison.
The drive will be sometime this month. We had better makeour voices heard and write o protests to him immediately.
Yours for Truth and Health,Eleanor McBean

VACCINE ECONOMICSAs Quoted by American Capsule News,
Washington, D. C.
February 9, 1957
Friends and well wishers of Duon H. Miller, the Florida
cosmetic manufacturer who spent many thousands of dollars of his own money to warn the American public against
the lethal effects of Salk vaccine, its worthlessness as a preventive, the false propaganda of the serum trust and thedoctored “statistics” of the US Public Health Service, will
be glad to know that he is now off the hook.
Upon demand of the National Foundation for Infantile
Paralysis, whose racket he was seriously interfering with,he was railroaded by a Federal Court in Florida after the
Post Office Dept. was importuned to go far afield and split
hairs to convict him of sending out “derogatory statements”
about the Salk racketeers on a postal card.
There actually is a P0 regulation which says that suchstatements are all right in sealed mail, but “unmailable” onpostal cards. The usual procedure is for postal inspectors
to notify the “culprit” and have him sign a stipulation not
to do it again. We know this from personal experience. In
the Miller case this was not done, because of pressure from
NFIP and those who own the serum trust—the House ofRockefeller.
Miller was given a 2-year prison sentence and placedon probation for two years in July of 1955. It was admitted
by the “prosecution” that its main object was to stop himfrom telling the truth about Salk vaccine. So, terms of theprobation were that he was not to send anything through themails having the slightest reference to vaccine or medicine
of any sort.
This (illegally) revoked his rights to freedom of speech397

and press granted him by the First Amendment to theConstitution. This was so raw that the judge has been prevailed upon to declare the Constitution again in effect. His
probation thereupon was “lifted” January 28 instead of
causing it to run its full course to July 1957. This also lets
the judge off the hook because Congress could have filed
impeachment charges against him for violation of his oathin abrogating the Constitution.
The serum trust is getting desperate. They saw in theMiller “prosecution” a warning to all who dared to tell thetruth about their deadly racket, so they “went to town”
in making it. It now develops they have a “stockpile” for25,000,000 of these deadly “shots” which they can’t disposeof, even with the fake statistics put out by the US Public
Health Service and reprinted widely by the medical andgeneral press.
To dispose of it, they are now resorting to circus methods. They prevailed on a church in Cleveland to help theminterfere with God’s work by advertising “coffee, cookies
and Salk shots.” In Michigan their lobbyists had a bill introduced in the legislature to force the inoculation of all school
children. They told the legislature “$2,000,000 worth of Salk
shots” is spoiling. In New Jersey they have a similar bill.
They even prevailed on Mr. Eisenhower to use the highoffice of the Presidency as a huckster stand. By words put
in his mouth by serum trust press agents, Ike urged everybody—adults and children—to have three polio shots “while
supplies are now plentiful.” The royal medics in London
hooked Good Queen Bess into having her two children’s
health interfered with by polio shots—amid a fanfare ofpress and radio hokum.
While they were selling these deadly shots like hotcakes,
the serum trust was announcing (through their stooges in
the USPHS) that Salk vaccine “has polio under control.”398

They now say “polio is far from conquered.” They have
25,000,000 shots for sale, with a profit of more than $5 a
“shot” involved.
The latest foray of The Food and Drug Administration into
illegal activities is the libel it is committing on Harry N.
Hoxsey (Cancer Cure Fame). They have sent flaring notices
to 56,000 post offices with instructions to have them posted
on lobby bulletin boards. Every postmaster who puts oneof these up is subject to a libel suit, along with the head
Food & Drug banditti. Defender Magazine, Wichita, Kansas
is now sending out printed petitions for you to sign andmail to your representatives in Washington, D. C. This calls
for a Congressional Investigation on The Food & Drug
Administration. Their economic well-being depends on
people being sick and they have the law on their side. YOU
can limit their powers only through your representatives in
Washington by acting NOW!
KNIGHT SIGNS BILL FOR POLIO VACCINE
Sacramento, California
February 6, 1957
(Associated Press)
Governor Knight, saying he hopes to end for always thethreat of a major polio outbreak in California, has signed
a bill for vaccinating everyone under 40.
The money will go for the purchases of vaccine andthe administration of mass inoculations for about 2 million
persons.
“For the first time,” the governor said yesterday as hesigned the bill, “the opportunity is at hand to conquer a399

major disease in the State of California— crippling polio.”
He noted there are 4 million other Californians under 40
and said: “It is hoped the vaccination campaign which soon
will get under way will serve as an incentive to the citizens
of California to seek vaccinations against crippling polio
through their private physicians.”
VACCINE ECONOMICS
American Capsule NewsP. 0. Box 1623, Washington, D. C.,
January 25, 1958
2-year prediction in Capsule News came true last week
when a verdict for $147,000 was rendered against the Cutter
Laboratories of California for the crippling of two children
with Salk vaccine.
At the time (in 1956) the US Public Health Service andthe National Foundation for Infantile Paralysis put on theirdrive to sell Salk vaccine, to the glory and profit of the Drug
Trust, Capsule News said the Cutter Laboratory had beentaken into the fold of the six licenses to be the goat “in casesomething happened.”
All of the other five licensees were members of what is
known as the Rockefeller Drug Trust, because the Houseof Rockefeller is heavily interested financially. The jury said
the Cutter people were not negligent “either directly or byinference.”
This was correct but the jury should have bawled out
the real culprits.
Since they hadn’t been indicted they couldn’t have foundthem guilty, but the jury could have placed the blame where
it belonged.
Officials of the USPHS and NFIP are the guilty ones.

400

They had guilty knowledge that this Salk concoction was
worthless and was a killer. “Tests” of it were made at the
Universities of Michigan and Pittsburgh and the only thing
they showed was that the testers were either confused or
covering up something.
There was no confusion at the National Institute of
Health. One of their scientists, who couldn’t stomach thecrippling and killing of innocent children for profit, told
Capsule News at the time—the same thing he and his associates told their superiors that Salk vaccine was a crippler
and a killer, and of no value as a preventive of polio.
Walter Winchell went on the air a few days later andsaid Salk vaccine would prove to be “a killer.” Officials of
the NIH refused to let their children be vaccinated with it.
Capsule News also exposed the fact that the idea of Salk
vaccine was dreamed up by the NFIP to bolster the sagging
receipts of its annual March-of-Dimes racket.
Just as Capsule News predicted, the Cutter Laboratories
were selected to be the goat. A significant feature is thatnearly all of the business was directed to the five Rockefeller
companies—just enough to Cutter to enable Drug Trustpress agents to divert attention from the other five killers.
Salk vaccine made a barrel of money in 1956 for thekillers.
Pitman-Moore is one of three subsidiaries of Allied
Laboratories. So great was the profit from Salk vaccine that
Allied’s 1955 profit ($1,292,136) was upped to $2,598,060 in
1956. An increase of profit (not just sales) of around 100%for the parent company.
Eli Lilly made a profit after taxes of $16,328,081 in 1955.
With the Salk vaccine sales in 1956 this profit was upped to$30,052,815; an increase of 90%.
Sharp & Dohme is one of 25 subsidiaries of Merck &Company. Salk vaccine sales so boosted Merck’s business401

in 1956 that its net profit, after the tax bite, was $20,224,427
compared with $15,714,342 in 1955.
Wyeth is one of 41 subsidiaries of American Home
Products. Salk vaccine sales boosted AHP’s profits from
$20,536,619 (1955) to $31,250,355 in 1956. A 50% profit
increase for the parent.
Parke-Davis’ management must have been below thatof the others for this dealer in death only increased its 1956
profits from $14,322,015 (in 1955) to $17,645,728.
All of these figures are taken from Moody’s Manual ofIndustrials, the investors’ bible. All are “after taxes” profits.
The poor Cutter people, goats in the legal action, actually saw their profits drop from $584,219 in 1955 to $188,241
in 1956.
Lloyd’s of London (who will bet on anything) seem tobe the big goat, for these six companies have been insured
against this kind of thing up to $5,000,000 per company. A
trillion dollars couldn’t pay for the cripplings and murders
which happened before the companies stopped the slaughterby putting red water in their ampules, instead of the pus of
diseased monkey kidneys.
Duon Miller of Florida, the blood chemist who probably is
our best posted individual on poliomyelitis, has challenged
the sales pitch put out by the USPHS which claims Salk
vaccine has made polio decline 62% and paralytic cases 73%.
Even the fake statistics of USPHS can’t make polio victims in the District of Columbia believe this. The HealthDept. records here show nine times as many cases in 1957
as in 1956—this in spite of serum trust claims that Salk
vaccine has “wiped out polio.”
In a scorching letter to the swivel chair doctor who heads
up the USPHS, Mr. Miller pointed out:402

“If these figures are the brain-child of the National
Foundation for Infantile Paralysis that alone labels themworthless.
“Its President (Basil O’Connor) knows of clinics in thiscountry that have long successfully treated polio. He hasreceived invitations to visit these clinics; even when he is in
their vicinity he ignores them.
“Why? Because he places gold before God.
“An MD, lecturing for NFIP, admitted they had no
immediate positive diagnosis for polio. So, it is very clearthat NFIP juggle its figures to brainwash the public.
“If a sick child were brought into your office could
you, any member of your bureau, or any member of theAmerican Medical Association, give an immediate, correct
and positive diagnosis as to polio? I doubt it.
“Polio is a condition. It is not a dis-ease caused by any
mysterious live virus, as no such virus exists. Polio vaccine
has never prevented, nor mitigated polio in even one childor adult ... yet look at the deaths from vaccine.
“An honest Congressional investigation would shock
the nation.”

LETTER TO A.S. FLEMMING
From Duon H. Miller
300 Bird Road, Coral Gables, Florida
November 14, 1958
Mr. Arthur S. Flemming
Secretary Health, Education & Welfare
Washington, D. C.
Dear Mr. Flemming:
I have just read an article in Drug Trade News which states
the Public Health Service is to work hard on “selling” Salk
shots. For quite some time it has appeared that the U. S.
Public Health Service seems to be a “sales promotion organization” for the Vaccine Trust, working at the expense of
the American taxpayer.
Enclosed you will find a copy of my letter to Dr. Burney
written January 8th, delivered to him through our Senator
George Smathers, and followed up by a request from Senator
Smathers for a reply, but as yet this letter still has not been
replied to . . . unquestionably because Dr. Burney could not
answer it honestly.
I see in the article I am just reading that the Public HealthService spent about $40,000 on its previous drive and expects
to spend that much more money on the new campaign.
Also, he states the fact that no cases of polio can be traced
to any lot of vaccine since May of 1955. Let me enclose acouple of clippings here which are typical of happenings allover this country where people have had the three shots anddie. If that happened in your family, how would you like it?

404

Dr. Burney is paid by the taxpayers in this country and if
he is so involved he cannot answer a letter honestly, I think
he should be removed from office.
It has just been documented in the book “Who Is Your
Doctor And Why?’ by Dr. Shadman, M. D. of Boston, thatgerms do not cause disease nor does virus because there isno such thing.
Now let me quote a paragraph from a Washington newspaper taken from an article I recently wrote:“The national polio program has been truly disgraceful,ungodly and inhuman. Polio is a condition, not a disease.
Since there is no such thing as a virus, polio isn’t caused bya virus . . . Therefore, any polio vaccine is fraudulent, andis rapidly proving itself just that in spite of faked figuresand statistics.”
We have doctors who are successfully treating polio in thiscountry, and I say it is a crime against God and humanitythat U.S.P.H.S. does not bring this information to the public, rather than devote all their time as a “sales agency” forvaccines.
The Asian Flu Vaccine, in my opinion, was a hoax and theold idea of vaccination against small pox has been a hoax
for some time and there has been practically no small pox inthis country, according to the official figures which I read a
couple weeks ago, since it is caused ONLY by the poisonousbite of the bed bug. Why propagate this vaccine, which is ofno value, like all the other vaccines?
I think our U.S.P.H.S. should be FOR THE PEOPLE andnot for the Vaccine Trust.
I would appreciate a reply to this letter and also to the405

questions I wrote to Dr. Burney on January 8th. I havebeen in blood chemistry a good many years and I think I
know what I am talking about concerning polio and whata vicious, disgraceful racket it has been, and still is.
I was in hopes that when you took over we would get somecommon sense in our U.S.P.H.S. and have it run as it should
be run for the benefit of the public.
Very truly yours,
Duon H. Miller

WHAT FOOLS THESE MORTALS BE
By Dr. T. M. Schippdll, N. D.
Natural Health Guardian,319 Huntington Ave.,
Boston 15, Mass.,
July, 1959
Here is something to paste in your hat—statistics show there
was more paralysis polio last year—yes, 1958—than any
preceding year. And that happened in spite of the highly
advertised fact that, during those 12 months of 1958, tensof thousands of units of blood-corrupting polio vaccine
were forced into the veins of deluded Americans.
What does this strange anomaly mean? Why, it simply
means that, as usual, John Q. Public was taken for a “buggy-ride” by the medical powers-that-be and was hoodwinked
into paying good money for a useless blood-poisoner that in
actual practice (giving the lie to the rigged medical “results”)
does not prevent polio, does not treat polio and does not
cure polio.
But while we are on the subject, just realize that nobody,not even the most astute medical doctor, knows what thisdecaying matter—from a dead monkeys disintegrating kidney—will eventually do to the human body in which blood
it is forced. No, the possible dire consequences cannot be
foretold by any panel of medical experts with 79 crystal balls
and 150 ouija boards. Why? Because they cannot project
themselves into the future—they cannot foretell what thispoisonous matter—floating in the blood—will eventuallydevelop into. Of course, they all hope to heaven that nothingsinister will happen but they know what did happen in asomewhat similar situation when the supposedly harmlesspus, taken from the diseased udder of a cow, used in GreatBritain supposedly to prevent “small pox”, killed—in one

407

year—by syphilis, more than 1,500 infants and gave tens of
thousands of other innocents incurable skin diseases thatsent many to premature graves.
But you will say, in spite of the rise in paralysis polio,
there was no epidemic of polio in 1958. True again—and
let us find the reason there was no epidemic. An epidemic,of any medical ailment, is always man made. It never justhappens.
Remember back, when we all were threatened with an
Asiatic Flu invasion a couple of years ago—a “dreamed up”
invasion which never arrived? Why, Asiatic flu is common
every year in the Far East where sanitation and hygene arepractically unknown. But just how the soothsaying medical “wiseacres” happened to “know” that this year, Asiatic
flu would attempt to cross the oceans nobody ever seemed
inclined to analyze. Anyway, the “remedy” for that “threatened disaster” was prepared months and months in advanceby the sainted Drug Trust and parceled out to the accommodating medical fraternity.
These “guardians of the public health” contaminatedthe blood of every American who had the price and still possessed illusions about the infallibility of Modern Medicine.
Oh, there was a real clean-up of cash through this dirtyingof human blood with a concoction from decaying hen’s eggs.
We all had friends who suffered nausea and God-knowswhat else while the laboratories and medical men werefattening both their pocketbooks and the mortality tables.
But listen—before the date set for the embarkation fromthe distant shores of this “Asiatic flu invasion,” a collectionof medical men in California—disgusted with the bare-faced
effrontery of those pushing this prearranged “remedy”—
came out flatfooted and condemned it as dangerous to lifeand prophesied it would “kill more than it would save.”
That ended the “Asiatic flu scare.” The laboratories and408their compatriots tucked their tails between their legs—thesignal was given to “forget the flu invasion”—the great
reception committee of needle-pushers was dispersed andthe Asiatic flu scare vanished into thin air. But the results
are still to be found in the country’s cemeteries.
And remember the Massachusetts polio epidemic of afew years back? The local authorities wanted to close theschools because six or seven cases appeared each day. But
those “cases” were never close together—in a geographical
way—and those “terrible germs” could not be put on thesame family tree. So the schools remained open.
What actually happened was that not one doctor in 50
can diagnose a case of incipient polio so every strain, every
wrench, every bit of indigestion was instantly diagnosed as“polio” and so reported to the authorities. Conclusion? That
horrible imaginary epidemic found the victims recovering
miraculously from their sprains, wrenches and bellyaches—
the excited doctors got paid “polio treatment prices” andthe paralysis polio, in Massachusetts that year, was just at
its regular normal rate.

THE POLIO MUDDLE
The National Health Federation Bulletin 1959
Volume V July – August
Numbers 7 – 8 Adventures on Health Frontiers 1959
Published Bi-monthly
Editorial“And they all with one consent began to make excuses.”That’s what the polio vaccine muddle begins to look like.
We have tried to follow the polio vaccine matter for the
past three years by reading the daily papers, the nationalmagazines and both federal and state health department
reports. To say the least, we are in a state of confusion. In
this issue we shall bring you items from the papers, nationalmagazines and governmental reports, so that you will be as
confused as we are.
Our reason for featuring the polio matter in this issue
is, several states are trying to enact compulsory polio vaccination laws and two have already done so. While Tennessee
does not have a compulsory law, its public health director
has taken the matter into his own hands and has ruled that
it is illegal for anyone to send a child to school unless he has
been immunized against polio. If you don’t send the childto school you will be arrested, so who makes the law inAmerica? We wonder how any lawmaker can ever think ofvoting for legislation of this nature when no one knows yet
whether the polio vaccine is good or bad. Certainly we know
the proponents are in disagreement. Salk blames the makersof the vaccine and the makers say the formula is not right.
When the vaccine was first given very bad results followed.
Cutter Laboratories got the blame. Then people who were
vaccinated still got polio. The departments of health and410the manufacturers then said the vaccine was only effective
against the type which causes paralysis. Next, when thosevaccinated still got the type which caused paralysis we weretold you must have two shots. Still those vaccinated came
down with the paralytic type and we were told we must havethree shots—that would do the trick. Still today we havethose with three shots contracting the paralytic type of polio
and we are told we should have four shots, and probably thejob will have to be done over every eighteen months, or less.
We ask, where do we go from here?
As you peruse the pages of this Bulletin you will findnews items and reports which would lead anyone, who will
think the problem through, to conclude that in proportion
to the percentage of the population vaccinated, the same
percentage of those vaccinated have polio of the paralytic
type as those who have not been vaccinated. This regardlessof whether one, two or three shots had been had.
To be fair, we must state that since the inauguration of
the Salk polio shots the governmental agencies in order tomake a good showing, adopted a policy of listing as polio
victims only those who were proved so by laboratory tests.
Before the inauguration of this policy anyone with the right
symptoms was listed as a polio victim. This new procedure
reduced the total number of folks recorded with paralytic
polio because the overall total of all cases was reduced.
This does not, however, affect the fact that practically thesame percentage of vaccinated have paralytic polio as theunvaccinated.
To make the matter more confusing, about the time theUnited States Departments of Public Health became thesalesman for the makers of Salk vaccine, certain scientists
in America were developing a live polio remedy which wasproving very effective. It could be taken by mouth, one or
two doses gave 100 per cent immunity. It was cheap. It would

411

not require the services of a doctor nor would it require amillion hypodermics, nor could it be controlled by the six
big drug houses, etc. On other pages you will find more
about this vaccine. The question is, why was not the UnitedStates Health Department interested in this development?
Why did the Department rush the Salk vaccine into use
before it was ready?
Is there an unholy alliance between our United States
Department of Public Health and the large drug houses?
Can the public trust the Department to do that which isbest for the people? It would seem the time has come fora congressional investigation of this matter. This is a very
serious matter. The public is entitled to know the truth.
Such an investigation can be had if the public will demand
it. The pens or pencils of one million folks will accomplish it
if those pens and pencils are used to write to the legislators
at Washington.
This one thing we are not confused about: the American
people must organize and fight for their lives. The National
Health Federation has been brought into being for sucha purpose. Its Washington Office is on the job. For the
first time in history the American people have a voice inWashington. We must support it and keep it strong. Urge
your friends to join.
POLIO 1958 AND 1959 NEWS
Increase in Paralytic Polio Cases—Public Health Service
reports that from January to August, 1957, out of a totalof 3,212 polio cases there were 1,055 paralytics, or 33.5 of
the total.
From January 1st to August 1958 there was a total of
1,638 cases of polio, with 801 of them paralytic, or 49% of
the total.

412

POLIO HITS HONOLULU
The following reports cover the period from August, 1958,
to April, 1959. These items are taken from day-today newspaper reports. June 19, 1958—The wave of polio among
military-connected families continues with the ‘report oftwo more cases in Tripler Army Hospital. This brings a
total for this year to 21. Victims are William M. Thomas, Jr.,
four-year old. He had one polio shot in May and is sufferingfrom paralysis of both legs. The other victim, Dennis W.
Prescott, two-year old. He had his first Salk shot May 15thand is suffering from paralysis in both arms, left shoulder
and back.
September 5, 1958—The Territory’s 56th case of polio,
a one-year-old army dependent, has paralysis in both arms
and legs. The infant had two Salk shots, the last one March
3rd.
Two more army dependents, one of whom had acomplete series of three Salk Vaccine shots, have been hospitalized with polio. Dr. James Enright with the Territorial
Board of Health said one of these had received three vaccine
shots, the last one on April 16th. His case is the 8th this year
in which the victim
Had all vaccine shots. The patient is suffering paralysis
on the right side of his face. The second patient is suffering a paralysis of both her arms and legs. Her condition isserious. The patient had received two vaccine shots, the on
March 3rd.
August 12, 1958—The condition of Air Force Sgt.
Patterson, who is suffering from Bulbar Polio, was describedas “grave” this morning. The sergeant, his wife and twochildren, one and three years old, received their first polio
shots on June 9th.
July 18, 1958—the newest civilian case is a part Hawaiian

413

three-year-old girl. She has paralysis of the right leg. She
has had no Salk vaccine. The second case reported today issuffering from paralysis of the right shoulder. This patient
had had two Salk shots, the last July 2nd.
September 13, 1958—Five more polio cases werereported in Honolulu today. The five cases included a threeyear-old girl who had received all three Salk vaccine shots.
She is the 9th fully vaccinated Islander to come down with
polio.
Two of the others reported today had received two shots.
One is suffering with paralysis of the neck muscles and theother has paralytic symptoms in her left foot. The two othervictims reported both with mild forms of paralysis had notreceived Salk shots.
September 18, 1958—The Territory of Hawaii’s 62nd
polio victim of this year is a two-year-old Marine dependent
who had received all three Salk vaccine shots. The victim
is suffering from paralysis of the left leg. The boy received
his third shot two weeks ago and is the 10th Island resident
inoculated with three Salk shots to come down with paralytic polio.
October 1, 1958—Two more polio cases were reported
today bringing this year’s total to 65. One victim, a twentyyear-old woman, suffering with weakness of her left leg, hadreceived no polio shots. The other victim, a nine-months-old
boy suffers from a paralysis of his left leg. The boy received
two Salk vaccine shots, the last one in April.
October 16, 1958—Hawaii’s 68th polio victim of theyear was reported today. The patient has no paralysis andhad had two Salk shots.
September 24, 1958—Honolulu health officials cannot
understand why their vaccination program is bogging down.
They say 15% less people are getting their third shots than
was the case in 1957. From the foregoing record as published414

in the newspaper it is not hard for a layman to understand
why the public shies away from the Salk vaccine.
DOES SALK VACCINE PROTECT?
The Honolulu Advertiser on July 15, 1958, carried a statement by Doctor Enright of the Territorial Department of
Health as follows: “Of the 32 discovered paralytic polio
cases so far this year, six had had three Salk shots; six had
had two shots; four had one shot, the rest, none.” This
makes 16 of the 32 who had been vaccinated. Percentagewise, it is 50%.
In an article published in the same newspaper April 22,
1959, Doctor Enright is again quoted: “Of Hawaii’s polio
victims last year 16 had received three Salk shots. No one
who received the recommended four shots was stricken,”
Doctor Enright continues. “About 60% of the Island’s population has had polio shots.”
Checking the newspaper items we find that of 65 who
had suffered from polio during 1958, 32 had paralytic polio
for which the Salk vaccine was specifically developed to prevent. Of these cases 16 had received three, two, and one
shots. This is 49 8/l0ths per cent of the total of 65 cases who
suffered from paralytic polio. According to Doctor Enright’s
figures, as taken from the article of April 22nd, 60% of theIsland’s population has had polio shots. This means that agreater percentage of those inoculated against polio came
down with the disease than those who received no inoculation. If these news reports are true, it must follow that thepolio vaccination program actually increases the incidenceof polio and does not protect against the paralytic type ofpolio.
That the Honolulu polio situation regarding paralytic
cases is typical all over the nation during this same period415

is borne out by a press dispatch quoting the United States
Public Health Service. The date of the dispatch is August22, 1958: It says: “Out of 233 polio cases reported by thestates, 114 were paralytic,” or 49 9/10th per cent paralytic.
The dispatch continues that during the year 1957 the figures
for the comparable week were 314 cases of which 81 cases
were paralytic, or 25 8/10ths per cent paralytic. We vaccinate
against paralytic polio and each year the per cent of thattype increases.
DR. SALK CALLS FOR PUBLIC UNDERSTANDING
Dr. Jonas E. Salk, in an analysis of the preparation andadministration of poliomyelitis vaccine, has describeda “temporary situation that will require the exercise of
judgment by practicing physicians and health officers, andunderstanding by the public as well.”Speaking at the Scientific Symposium on Polio Vaccine,
University of Michigan School of Public Health, Dr. Salk
said his study of the occurrence of paralytic polio in somepeople who have had three doses of vaccine leads him tosuggest:“That the use of vaccines of less than optimal potency
may well be the principal reason for the occurrence of paralytic polio in persons who have had three doses of vaccine.”“That the attainment of potency levels of an order ofmagnitude sufficient to induce the desired effects after one
or two doses is practicably feasible.”
WHO IS RIGHT?
National Institute of Health—Trouble’s brewing between
Dr. Jonas Salk and pharmaceutical houses making the polio
vaccine bearing his name. Dr. Salk blames “weakness” of416

the manufactured product for cases of paralytic polio in
persons having had the recommended three shots of vaccine.
Throwing the ball right back, the pharmaceutical people say
they are following Dr. Salk’s formula— in other words, if
the vaccine is weak, it’s his fault, not theirs.
POLIO VACCINE FED TO RUSSIAN CHILDREN
Moscow, June 17—The Communist party organ Izvestia
said today nearly 2 million Russian children have been given
spoonful of Soviet-produced live polio vaccine and not asingle case of polio developed.
The questions were deeply challenging and vitally
important Is a live-virus polio vaccine safe and effective?
Should such a vaccine be used generally us place of the“killed” developed by Dr Jonas Salk?
The whole problem of poliomyelitis, and how to eliminate it once and for all, was being threshed out this week at a
World Health Organization conference in Washington, D. C.,
where some 50 international scientists met to check results ofthe first experimental tests with three new live-virus serums.
All developed in this country, the three are: (1) The
widely publicized vaccine of Dr. Albert Sabin of the
University of Cincinnati, which has been tried out experimentally on 3.8 million Russians, 143,000 Czechoslovakians,
200,000 people in Singapore, and 2.5 million Mexicans;(2) a strain made by Dr. Hilary Koprowski of the Wistar
Institute, Philadelphia, already used in a mass inoculation
program of 320,000 in the Belgian Congo, with a new testing
program ready to start among Polish children, and (3) the
carefully screened and tested live vaccine of Dr. Herald Coxof the Lederle Laboratories, Pearl River, N. Y., with which
selected groups of Minneapolis, Minn., school children havebeen inoculated.

417

MANY ADVANTAGES?
Up to now, none of the three strains has been tried on amass scale in the U. S. because a large percentage of the population already has been vaccinated with the Salk “killed”
product. Nevertheless, Drs. Sabin, Cox, and Koprowski
believe that the live polio vaccine is the final answer to polio.
If successful, the advantages are many: Live vaccine costs
less; it is easy to administer in syrup, spray, or pill form;
it provides longer immunity; it not only protects against
paralyzing polio, as the Salk shots do, but also against allpolio infections.
Another appraisal of live-virus vaccine will be madeon July 7 in New York when the National Foundation,
which has supported Dr. Albert Sabin’s research with
grants amounting to $1.5 million, will hold a conference todetermine its value. The evaluation group, headed by Dr.
Thomas B. Turner of Johns Hopkins University, will include
the original committee that recommended the first Salkvaccine trials. “Reports from the Sabin live-virus-vaccine
trials appear encouraging,” said Basil O’Connor, presidentof the National Foundation. “But before the new vaccine ismade generally available, it must be licensed by the National
Institute of Health in Washington. We cannot be sure if andwhen a live vaccine will be so licensed. In the meantime,
there is only one sensible thing to douse the Salk killed-virus
vaccine to the fullest extent.”—Newsweek, June 29, 1959.
Are you confused? We are! We would like to know thetruth and we feel that only an impartial congressional investigation of this entire matter can ferret out the facts.

418

Editor’s Note: It will be interesting to see when the U. S.
Department of Public Health okays a live Polio Vaccine
if at all.
1. Will they wait until the six big drug houses get rid of
their immense stock of Salk.
2. Will they O.K. it at all unless the manufacture of it is in
