Forget vaccines

The story Vaccines? seamy Side (November 29) was an eye opener. Vaccines have also been linked to sudden infant death syndrome, chronic fatigue syndrome), irritable bowel syndrome), AIDS and so on. Various skin disorders are also thought to be the outcomes of multiple vaccinations, because the skin, being an excretory organ, is meant to eliminate toxins naturally. As objective scientists pitch in with their expertise, I?m sure the whole scam is going to surface soon. Mercury is not only a neurotoxin but being soluble in fat it lodges itself in the human brain, mainly a mass of fat cells, and thus can cause havoc beyond imagination. Another source of mercury hazard is dental fillings. Mercury is clandestinely used in many other medicines sold to suppress venereal diseases and also in food preservatives. So the best option today is to totally shun all practices like vaccination that seek to suppress diseases and destroy symptoms instead of curing the disease. To grow a robust immunity a battery of vaccines is of no help. We should rather lead a healthy lifestyle pepped up by balanced diet and regular exercise.

Child abuse

With reference to Spare the rod, (November 22) very few people realise that yelling and screaming is also a kind of child abuse. In India grown-ups tend to believe that unless children are spanked and rebuked, they?d get spoilt. No wonder teachers don?t miss any opportunity to hit or abuse children with full support from guardians. Which is why more serious crimes of child sexual abuse remain hidden under the carpets. Moreover, sex offenders remain disguised as fathers, uncles or cousins. People perpetrating such abuse manage to escape punishment because children are scared to report or complain against the senior relatives. To prevent such heinous crime the first step will be to stop all forms of child abuse which includes verbal torture.
