Understanding and Working with SB277 the New Vaccine Law
by Jeanne Schirm RN, ANS Like Many Sharpeoplee wereTweet shaken by the new immunization law SB277 signed by Governor Jerry Brown June 30, 2015 and to go fully into Share this Page: effect July, 2016. The reason for alarm is that for every child it is now mandatory to have all immunizations within a given time frame for entry into any school. The only exceptions will be medical, for an immune compromised child who has a medical exemption signed by a physician stating why the child should not have them, and for children who are homeschooled whose parents have chosen to homeschool rather than vaccinate fully.
Plumbing is more powerful than vaccines
This law comes in part out of a mind set that that is connected with the standard medical protocol of our time which views acute inflammatory illness as undesirable. Therefore it is treated aggressively with suppressive medications indiscriminately with disregard for the individual response to an illness. It should not be surprising then that we have been indoctrinated with the idea that the world’s many deadly epidemics were ended with the introduction of vaccination. For, one who carefully reviews statistics and publications from the past couple of hundred of years will find that infectious diseases declined by 90% before vaccinations were introduced and this seemed to be connected with a major sanitation reform movement that took place in Europe and America during the late 1800s and early 1900s. The medical establishment seems to ignore this information and continues to indoctrinate the public into believing that one acquires protection solely through vaccination.
White cells and antibodies
This way of thinking evolved in a great part from a lack of understanding in its entirety of the real function of the immune system. The immune system has two areas of activity. The humoral system responds to microbial invaders by making antibodies. These antibodies have the capacity to remember the microbes we have already been exposed to, and this gives us our longterm immunity. The other area of activity involves the white blood cells. It is their job to actually digest and eliminate the invaders through elimination channels in the body. These toxic wastes leave the body by way of inflammatory episodes such as diarrhea, rash, mucous or coughs as examples. This is the cleansing part of the process that is absolutely needed to rid the body of toxins and heal it. These two systems compiement each other.
Acute illness is an exercise class for the immune system Like The missingShare linkT weetthen in the area of vaccination is the misunderstanding especially of the cell mediated system and the Share this Page: deep connection it has with the humoral system. To develop, grow and change in a healthy manner the child also needs the activity of the cell mediated system. Inflammations are very much a part of childhood and happen when necessary changes for his development such as a growth spurt, or change in his inner being need to come about. Inflammation with fever is especially cherished at these times for the body in its wisdom creates it as the ultimate immune response aiding in the toxins being eliminated. This then leads to healing and transformation on the physical, emotional and spiritual levels. It is the activity of the human being during an illness that develops an immune system with strength.
Invest time in caregiving for longterm health
The parent needs to take on the role of a caregiver and assist the child during an inflammatory illness by way of resting, giving homeopathic remedies at the first sign of symptoms, assisting the detox process by giving plenty of warm fluids along with a laxative - - especially with fever-- and other homecare methods such as compresses( fever wrap) if needed.

Trading acute illness for chronic illness
In contrast excessive vaccinations do not allow children to contract illnesses naturally. They force an experience through a vaccine that does not provoke the cell mediated system much at all, so the toxins from this process do not exit the body because the child cannot be active in the process nor the parent as a healing presence in helping the child work through an illness. The vaccines only provoke memory without also provoking a cell- mediated response. Such repeated suppression of a complete immune response can lead to the chronic, cold illnesses that we are seeing in children of our times such as asthma, eczema, diabetes, and ADHD as examples.
Naturally acquired immunity generally lasts for a lifetime, whereas vaccine immunity does not. Vaccines lose their effectiveness over Like time, dueShar eto limitedTweet duration of antibody presence, and boosters of a vaccine become necessary. Share this Page: The above information points to the fact that illness has a purpose, and that each child is an individuality and needs to be treated according to his needs and strengths. The new vaccine law stands in total disregard of this principle..
Warmth, Nutrition, Rhythm, Meaning
How can one work with such restrictions? First and foremost of all by being attentive to the foundational pillars that can bestow health on the child for life. The most important is warmth without which healing cannot take place. The child needs adequate warmth for optimum immune function and to develop on the physical, emotional and spiritual level. Next in importance are rhythms in all areas of life -- especially sleep -- to strengthen the natural rhythms that want to live in the body. A strong nutritional foundation is essential and should include regular meals with food that have living forces such as organic or biodynamic foods. Offer sense impressions that are soft and meaningful, especially through nature. Rich impressions in early years aid in developing the soul feeling life of the child in a balanced manner. Lastly provide opportunities for meaningful movements that the child can initiate and imitate such as gardening, household chores, exploring nature. Spontaneous play and movement in the early years gives the child a sense of purpose in life.
Be informed
It is attentiveness to these pillars early in the child’s life that aid the most in bestowing health and immunity. This can only serve as an asset to any child, especially when health is compromised as in the current vaccination schedule. In addition to the foundational pillars, anthroposophic medicine offers many helps to avoid complications with repeated vaccinations. There are anthroposophic remedies and therapies that can be given along each step of the way . Speak to your anthroposophic physician in regard to this. Finally, for all parents but especially those parents who chose homeschooling as a way out of excessive vaccinations, a thorough knowledge of childhood diseases and illnesses is of the utmost importance. A working knowledge of how to treat them with holistic homecare methods to prevent complications is something to strive for. Although, never hesitate to seek standard medical assistance when it is warranted, and be aware of what you know and trust, and what you are not trained for in helping your child.

A 1000-year-old culture resulted in 60 landraces (local varieties) of corn, uniquely adapted to each locale. Attorneys in Mexico defend their country against the loss of this enormous agro- genetic and cultural wealth, and fight for food sovereignty and the biodiversity that is the best defense against ravages of climate change.

The Dark Act
The Safe and Accurate Food Labelling Act of 2015 is a euphemism for stopping all GMO labeling at the federal level. (DARK = Deny Americans the Right to Know) Interestingly, the members of Congress voting in favor of this act received significantly more money from agribusiness than those who did not vote in favor. The idea of recusing oneself when there is a conflict of interest hasn't reached legislatures.

In silico is the name given to research based on computer modeling. It is different from in vitro (in the lab) and in vivo (in the living organism) research.
Computer modeling is able to look at systems, as opposed to a single item in a research model. The systems biology approach is new and powerful. Shiva Ayyadurai PhD and his team announced this finding as a call to create a national standard for safety testing of GM foods. (Finally!)
Incidentally, Shiva Ayyadurai invented email when he was 14 years old.

Johns Hopkins Med School: time to transform the food system
"We conclude that the present US food system is largely unhealthy, inequitable, environmentally damaging, and insufficiently resilient to endure the impacts of climate change, resource depletion, and population increases, and is therefore unsustainable. Thus, it is imperative that the US embraces policy reforms to transform the food system into one that supports public health and reflects the principles of human rights and agroecology for the benefit of current and future generations."
