The following Myths from “The Maker’s Diet” by Jordan Rubin.

It is an amazing story of how we need to get back to homeopathic remedies rather than doctors and hospitals. God has given us everything we need on earth and in our bodies. The key to getting health and not getting sick is to keeping the body in working order with what God has given our bodies to work right and the natural things that He made.

There are 27 of these myths, so I will be posting 3 every one of my blog days!!

I will also be posting what we do or believe about these Myths.

10. Get tattoos.
    Scripture warns against piercing the skin. (See Leviticus 19:28)
Body piercing and tattoos can easily introduce potentially deadly infections and toxic foreign substances into the body and bloodstream. Some health providers warn that even tiny puncture wounds might block important electrical nerve impulses just under the skin.

 11. Get all of your immunization shots.
    Despite massive media and government public relations campaigns to the contrary, certain childhood immunization injections may pose considerable risks to children. Most adults today received one to five immunizations in childhood, but schoolchildren today receive an average of twenty-two or more immunizations---most of them administered while the brain and nervous systems are still developing!
    An epidemic of juvenile autism and other neurological and developmental disorders sweeping through America’s school age children generally coincides with the introduction of certain mandatory immunizations. A growing body of scientific and medical research appears to link this dangerous health trend to these childhood immunizations.
    Vijendra K. Singh, Ph.D., and eminent neuorimmunologist from the Department of Biology and Biotechnology Center at Utah State University, hypothesized in research published internationally “that a measles virus-induced autoimmune response is a causal factor in autism, whereas HHV-6 via co-infection may contribute to pathophysiology  of the disorder. Although as yet unproven, I think it is an excellent working hypothesis to explain autism, and it may also help us understand why some children show autistic regression after the measles-mumps-rubella (MMR) immunization.”
    Dr. Singh’s findings seem to confirm the results of a similar study published in the Lancet in 1998 by Dr. Andrew Wakefield and co-workers of the Royal Free Hospital in London, indicating a possible link between MMR vaccination, Crohn’s disease of the bowel, and autism. Most states allow philosophical and religious expemptions from mandatory immunization programs should you decide this is the way to go.

12. Travel in airplanes often.
    Some people who spend alot of time at high altitudes experience problems with infertility and oxygen production. The body adapts well to high altitudes for short periods of time, but not for long periods. Animals dwelling at heights of thirteen and fourteen thousand feet have much more difficulty conceiving and instinctively return to lower pastures for breeding. Some researchers believe the atmospheric pressures and radiation to which airplane travelers are exposed are the equivalent of hundreds of CAT scans and pose the greatest oxidative stress on the human body. (Who wants to be trapped in a small room with hundreds of sneezing, coughing people?)

Those things are SO true! I had not read that book, but I had read a few similar things (plus a lot of other related things) in a book on Vaccines and Nourishing Traditions. The last is by Sally Fallon and Mary Enig. It is very interesting.

Thank you for posting on my blog! Come and see me soon.
