Disease outbreaks will increase as per ZetaTalk

 

Taking Sick

On Jan 15, 1998 ZetaTalk stated that Illness will increase as Planet X approaches.  Zetas right again !!!

ZetaTalk: Take Sick, written Feb 15, 1998.
Increasingly, as the pole shift nears, the populace will take sick. This will take the form of known illnesses occurring more frequently, seemingly depressed immune systems, but will also appear as new and puzzling illnesses not seen before in the memory of man. What is going on here?

The changes at the core of the Earth that have resulted in El Nino weather patterns and white buffalo and deformed frogs also affect man. The germs are on the move. Their carriers are on the move. And thus humans are exposed to diseases that are so rare as to be undocumented in medical journals.

You will see increasing illness, odd illnesses, microbes that travel because an insect is scattering about and spreading germs in places where it normally doesn't travel. 90% of all the illness and distress you're going to see is a natural situation, a natural occurrence. Because of the changing, swirling in the core of the Earth, and this will continue to up-tick until the pole shift.

And reiterated in 1999

ZetaTalk: Next 3 1/2 Years, written Sep 15, 1999.
Sickness will slightly increase from where it is today. There is a lot of illness now because people who are already unstable are unable to take the turmoil caused by the increased emanations from the Earth. Some of them have simply sensed what is coming and have decided to die. This is true of animals as well as humans. Sickness will increase, but not to the point where it is going to get exponentially worse.

On Feb 2, 2000 a Washington report confirmed this increase, and published concerns were subsequently reported.

Diseases From Around World Threatening U.S.
Reuters, Feb 2, 2000
30 New Diseases Make Global Debut
At least 30 previously unknown diseases have appeared globally since 1973, including HIV, AIDS, Hepatitis C, Ebola haemorrhagic fever and the encephalitis-related Nipah virus that emerged in Indonesia. Twenty well-known infectious diseases such as tuberculosis, malaria, and cholera have re-emerged or spread since 1973.
  
Is Global Warming Harmful to Health?
Scientific American, August 2000
Notably, computer models predict that global warming, and other climate alterations it induces, will expand the incidence and distribution of many serious medical disorders. Disturbingly, these forecasts seem to be coming true.

And since this time, SARS and increased incidence of flesh eating disease,
and entire cruise ships regularly returning to port with the passengers ill with stomach flu have been reported.
Depressed immune systems?
Zetas RIGHT Again!

After the pole shift, there will be many opportunistic diseases that will afflict mankind. This does not require an imagination, as today they afflict mankind after disasters. The primary affliction will be from sewage laden water, which will pollute the drinking water man is forced to use. We have been adamant about mankind distilling their drinking water after the pole shift for this reason. Distillation removes heavy metals as well as killing microbes by the boiling process. Any disease that flourishes in malnourished bodies and in areas of poor hygiene will take advantage of the pole shift disasters. Scurvy due to lack of Vitamin C will occur, with bleeding gums and even death if not corrected. Many weeds are high in Vitamin C and survivors should arm themselves with knowledge about the vitamin content of weeds. Unprotected sex by survivors either taking advantage of the weak, as in rape, or by simple distraction and grief and a lack of contraceptive devices will spread AIDS and hepatitis. Morgellons, which is caused by a synergy of parasites and microbes when the immune system is low will likely increase. There will be outbreaks of diseases which were endemic in the past, such as small pox or measles, but in those survivor communities where the members have been immunized in the past these will be limited and quarantines can help in this regard.

Chile battles youth unrest and typhoid fever outbreak

September 15, 2011SANTIAGOChile’s problems dealing with youth unrest over slow education reforms are being compounded by concerns the capital may be in the grip of a typhoid fever outbreak. The government has battled to enforce restraint on law enforcement agencies amid angry student-led protests, which have disrupted urban centers across the country for more than a month. The reforms demanded by youth groups are nowhere near being implemented and protests continue to simmer with support from teachers and workers unions. Now authorities are faced with the more immediate risk of typhoid. Health authorities issued repeated alerts for tougher hygiene checks and controls after they found several people infected and seriously ill with typhoid in the western metropolitan area of Santiago. At least seven cases were confirmed by the Public Health Institute but there were no immediate reports of fatalities. “Typhoid fever is an acute infectious disease triggered by a salmonella bacteria strain,” Institute Director Maria Teresa Valenzuela said. In most cases the infection is caused by consumption of contaminated food and drink or fruit and vegetables grown in areas where contaminated water is used in irrigation. Typhoid fever produces symptoms of high fever, diarrhea or intense headaches. The Santiago region has been prone to typhoid outbreaks since the 1990s when incidence of the disease caused up to 190 cases a year.

Epidemic Hazard in India on Saturday, 17 September, 2011 at 03:16 (03:16 AM) UTC.

Description
The Department of Health and Family Welfare has informed that it had received a message through telephone on 12th September 2011 of an outbreak of fever of unknown cause leading to three deaths at Poilwa village, Peren District. Immediately the State Rapid Response Team (RRT) of Integrated Disease Surveillance Project (IDSP), Nagaland, comprising of Dr. John Kemp (State Surveillance Officer), Dr. Sao Tunyi (Epidemiologist), Dr. Kevisevolie Sekhose (Epidemiologist), and Venezo Vasa (Entomologist) conducted an outbreak investigation at Poilwa village. The team collected three samples from suspected cases out of which all the three were tested positive for Scrub Typhus. Till date, there are 9 cases with 3 deaths. This was stated in a official press note issued by Dr. Imtimeren Jamir, the Principal Director, Directorate of Health & Family Welfare, Kohima. Scrub Typhus is Rickettsial disease caused Orientia tsutsugamushi and transmitted by the bite of mite called Leptotrombidium deliense. In Nagaland, it was formerly detected by IDSP with Central Surveillance Team at Longsa village Mokokchung in 2006, and in Porba village of Phek District in 2007. The State RRT team carried out the outbreak investigation along with doing and entomological survey. The patients were treated with appropriate medicines and awareness and preventive measures were communicated with the villagers. The concerned local health authorities and programs are informed for further necessary action. The mop-up operation is being carried out by the National Vector Borne Disease Control Program.
Biohazard name: Typhus (Scrub)
Biohazard level: 3/4 Hight
Biohazard desc.: Bacteria and viruses that can cause severe to fatal disease in humans, but for which vaccines or other treatments exist, such as anthrax, West Nile virus, Venezuelan equine encephalitis, SARS virus, variola virus (smallpox), tuberculosis, typhus, Rift Valley fever, Rocky Mountain spotted fever, yellow fever, and malaria. Among parasites Plasmodium falciparum, which causes Malaria, and Trypanosoma cruzi, which causes trypanosomiasis, also come under this level.
Symptoms: - After bite by infected mite larvae called chiggers, papule develops at the biting site which ulcerates and eventually heals with the development of a black eschar. - Patients develop sudden fever with headache, weakness, myalgia, generalized enlargement of lymph nodes, photophobia, and dry cough. - A week later, rash appears on the trunk, then on the extremities, and turns pale within a few days. - Symptoms generally disappear after two weeks even without treatment. - However, in severe cases with Pneumonia and Myocarditis, mortality may reach 30% Diagnosis - The most commonly used test for diagnosis is Wel-Felix Test, which is available at State IDSP laboratory, Kohima. - More specific serological tests like detection of IgM can also be done for diagnosis.

Turns out, the plague isn't just ancient history. New Mexico health officials recently confirmed the first human case of bubonic plague — previously known as the "Black Death" — to surface in the U.S. in 2011. 

An unidentified 58-year-old man was hospitalized for a week after suffering from a high fever, pain in his abdomen and groin, and swollen lymph nodes, reports the New York Daily News. (Officials declined to say when the man was released from the hospital.) A blood sample from the man tested positive for the disease.

Epidemic Hazard in USA on Saturday, 17 September, 2011 at 03:33 (03:33 AM) UTC.

Description
Umatilla County health officials today confirmed a case of plague in an adult male county resident. He may have been infected while hunting in Lake County, noted Sharon Waldern, clinic supervisor for the county’s public health department. “Lake County had two cases of human plague last year.” The man has been hospitalized and is receiving treatment, Waldern noted. “People need to realize he was never considered contagious and he started treatment fairly quickly.” Plague is spread to humans through a bite from an infected flea. The disease is serious but treatable with antibiotics if caught early, officials said. Plague can be passed from fleas feeding on infected rodents and then transmitted to humans. Direct contact with infected tissues or fluids from handling sick or dead animals can pass the disease, as well as through respiratory droplets from cats and humans with pneumonic plague, officials said in a press release. Some types are spread from person to person, but that is not the case here, Waldern said. Symptoms typically develop within one to four days and up to seven days after exposure and include fever, chills, headache, weakness and a bloody or watery cough due to pneumonia, enlarged, tender lymph nodes, abdominal pain and bleeding into the skin or other organs.

Plague is rare in Oregon. Only three human cases have been diagnosed since 1995 and they all recovered. Last year two human cases of plague were diagnosed in Lake County. As far as she knows, this is the first ever incident in Umatilla County. “In this recent case it is important to stay away from flea-infested areas and to recognize the symptoms. People can protect themselves, their family members and their pets,” said Genni Lehnert-Beers, administrator for Umatilla County Health Department. “Using flea treatment on your pets is very important, because your pets can bring fleas into your home.” People should contact their health care provider or veterinarian if plague is suspected. Early treatment for people and pets with appropriate antibiotics is essential to curing plague infections. Untreated plague can be fatal for animals and people. Antibiotics to prevent or treat plague should be used only under the direction of a health care provider. Additional steps to prevent flea bites include wearing insect repellent, tucking pant cuffs into socks when in areas heavily occupied by rodents, and avoiding contact with wildlife including rodents.
Biohazard name: Plague (Bubonic)
Biohazard level: 4/4 Hazardous
Biohazard desc.: Viruses and bacteria that cause severe to fatal disease in humans, and for which vaccines or other treatments are not available, such as Bolivian and Argentine hemorrhagic fevers, H5N1(bird flu), Dengue hemorrhagic fever, Marburg virus, Ebola virus, hantaviruses, Lassa fever, Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever, and other hemorrhagic or unidentified diseases. When dealing with biological hazards at this level the use of a Hazmat suit and a self-contained oxygen supply is mandatory. The entrance and exit of a Level Four biolab will contain multiple showers, a vacuum room, an ultraviolet light room, autonomous detection system, and other safety precautions designed to destroy all traces of the biohazard. Multiple airlocks are employed and are electronically secured to prevent both doors opening at the same time. All air and water service going to and coming from a Biosafety Level 4 (P4) lab will undergo similar decontamination procedures to eliminate the possibility of an accidental release.

Description;

A one-year-old boy from Davao City has been found positive for the Enterovirus-71 (EV-71), the mysterious illness that killed dozens of children in Cambodia. Health Secretary Enrique Ona said the screening and confirmatory tests done at the Research Institute of Tropical Medicine (RITM) revealed that of the eight suspected Hand, Foot and Mouth Disease (HFMD) patients, one was tested positive of the virus similar to the ones in Cambodia. Ona clarified, however, that the boy has no history of travel outside the country. "The virus is similar to Cambodia but this case is the mild one," Ona told reporters in a press conference Friday. EV-71 causes diarrhea; rashes; and hand, foot and mouth disease; and is sometimes associated with severe central neurological disease. The virus, which was earlier tagged as a "mystery disease" in Cambodia, caused the deaths of 52 children there. Based on the details of the case, the official said the boy had developed fever and rashes on his hands, soles of feet, mouth and buttocks last July 6. He was brought for consultation at a local health facility but was subsequently sent home and has since recovered very well, Ona said. Although the victim's family members have no sickness, they are still being closely monitored for possible manifestation of symptoms such as high fever, chest and muscle pain, sore throat and headache, Ona said.

Meantime, two HFMD patients were found negative of human Enterovirus while the five others will be further tested for Coxsackie A16, which is also associated with HFMD, the health official said. The health official said there is no vaccine on EV-71 yet, so the "approach is to monitor the cases." Ona, however, reiterated that the incident should not come as a surprise to the public since EV-71 is not new to the Philippines. "This virus could have been here all along… Maybe, this specific strain has not been examined before, therefore, it has not been identified in the past," Ona said. The DOH had already related in the past that there have been cases of human Enterovirus in the country but that they are not the fatal ones like those found in Cambodia. Meanwhile, the health department strongly urged the public to always maintain personal hygiene and cleanliness as this would be the best way against the virus. "Prevention relies on individual personal hygiene and hand washing; shared toys or teaching tools in daycare should be cleaned, washed and disinfected as they easily become contaminated," said Ona.

Twenty six more Anthrax infected people have been identified at Panchil and Ultadab village under Shahzadpur upazila in Sirajganj district in the last six days. District Sanitary Inspector Ram Chandra Shaha Milon confirmed this to this correspondent yesterday. With the new ones, the number of total infected has risen to 67 in the district. Sources said, they were infected after taking meat of a sick bullock and a sick goat, which were carrying the germ of Anthrax disease. The bullock was slaughtered by one Abdul Mannan Byapari at Panchil Baza on June 2 and the goat was slaughtered by Abdul Baten at Ultadab village on June 6. Doctors said, the people who were involved in skinning and processing the sick bullock and goat would be infected within a few days. A medical team of Sirajganj health department visited the areas of the infected patients recently and prescribed them with the directive to continue the treatment. They also distributed some medicines free of cost, civil surgeon office sources said. Civil surgeon Dr. Nazim Uddin Khan said, people of the district are being infected with Anthrax one after another due to lack of awareness about the disease. Though the people are being warned about the disease and asked not to take meat of any sick cattle or goat, poor and ultra-poor people are ignoring the directives and taking meat of sick cattle or goat. He further said, there is nothing to fear over the disease, because it is curable. However, he urged the people not to slaughter any sick animal. Locals also complained that, due to lack of proper vaccination, many cattle in the areas are being infected with the disease and then people are being forced to slaughter such sick animals to recover their losses.

WHO Investigators Probe Unknown Disease Killing Cambodian Children

The World Health Organization (WHO) is working with Cambodian health authorities in investigating the mysterious deaths of 61 children in the country after suffering severe respiratory and neurological complications. The unknown disease was first reported to Cambodian health officials by Dr. Beat Richner of the Kantha Bopha Children's Hospitals. According to the Ministry of Health, 56 of the fatalities shared common symptoms including fever, neurological and respiratory disorders. It added that 74 cases of the mysterious disease have been identified to date. Neighboring countries have already been notified about the deadly disease through the International Health Regulations event information system. Majority of the identified cases were among children under 3 years old. The deputy director of the ministry, Dr. Ly Sovann, stated that they are studying detailed information from hospital records, adding that they hope to have a clearer picture of the situation in the coming days. The children are taken to hospitals but they later die because their lungs have been destroyed. Richner said he suspects that an enterovirus or an intoxication of a drug or a combination of both, may have been responsible for the deaths. According to the WHO, majority of the known cases were from the southern region of Cambodia although there haven't been any signs of clustering. Source

WHO: Unknown Disease Kills 60 Cambodian Children in 3 Months

The World Health Organization ( WHO) reported on Wednesday that an unknown illness has claimed the lives of 60 Cambodian kids within the past three months. The agency is currently coordinating with the Cambodian health ministry to investigate the cause of the deaths. The WHO said the symptoms of the mysterious illness include high fever and neurological involvement or respiratory distress. To date, 61 cases have been reported, all under 7 years old. According to Dr. Pieter van Maaren, the representative of WHO-Cambodia, the agency is working with the Ministry of Health in carrying out an investigation. As of the moment, little information is available since the investigation is still underway. Cambodian Minister of Health Mam Bunheng said his officials as well as WHO personnel are in close coordination to identify the disease and its manner of transmission.

Hepatitis outbreak hits Auckland schools

Auckland is facing a hepatitis A outbreak with 19 cases confirmed, including some schoolchildren.

Auckland Regional Public Health Service spokesman Dr Shanika Perera says a "large team" is working with the patients and affected schools.

"At this time it is unknown how the disease was initially contracted. We are currently working with the cases to determine the source of the disease and prevent further spread."

As of 9am today, 19 people were infected.

Hepatitis A is usually a mild illness in children with complete recovery and no ongoing health effects, but it affects teenagers and adults more seriously.

It is excreted through faeces and can be spread from person to person or by swallowing food or water that has been contaminated. 

Symptoms in children usually include fever, an upset stomach and feeling tired and generally unwell, Perera says.

Many children don't show signs of the infection, but very occasionally they will develop jaundice - a yellowing of the skin and the whites of the eyes.

"If a parent is concerned that their child may have been exposed to hepatitis A infection and they are unwell, we ask that they stay away from school, childcare centres and social events and contact their doctor. Hepatitis A is diagnosed by a blood test."

Perera says more information would be made available to affected schools and families.

The best way to prevent the spread of the infection is careful hand washing with soap and proper drying, especially after using the toilet and before eating.

"Hepatitis A is an uncommon disease in New Zealand but to keep it that way we need to contain the spread, regular hand washing with soap and warm water then drying thoroughly is the simplest way to prevent spread," Perera said.

Nigeria: 40 Die From Lassa Fever Outbreak

Nigerian lab technicians (file photo) (Photo Courtesy Flickr/US Army Africa)

Forty people have died across the country from the outbreak of Lassa fever in the last six weeks. So far, 397 cases have been reported and all patients are to be treated free.

This was disclosed in a statement by the minister of Health, Prof. Onyebuchi Chukwu, yesterday.

The minister said that six of the dead were health workers (two doctors and four nurses) and that cases have been reported in 12 states Edo, Nasarawa, Plateau, Ebonyi, Taraba, Yobe, Ondo, Rivers, Gombe, Anambra, Delta and Lagos.

Out of the 397 cases reported, only 87 cases have been positively confirmed by medical officials. Chukwu narrated the case of a 28-year-old female corps member who completed her three weeks orientation in Rivers State but travelled home to visit her families in Afikpo and Abakiliki, capital of Ebonyi State, where she contracted the fever on January 1 and died two days later.

On what the Ministry is doing to contain the situation, Chukwu said adequate quantities of Ribavirin injections and tablets, the specific antiviral drug for Lassa fever, have been released to the affected states.

He also said that the ministry has deployed rapid response teams to all affected states and there is great emphasis on routine barrier nursing precautions.

He said, "Nigeria has the capability to diagnose Lassa fever and all the cases reported so far were confirmed by our laboratories."

Chukwu added that no travel restriction will be imposed on the affected areas but hotlines have been provided for health workers for expert advice. The numbers are: 08037154575, 08023214998, 08037879701 and 08023047101.

However, the minister of state for health, Dr. Muhammad Ali Pate, in a media conference yesterday, said the ministry has also distributed over 750,000 doses of Ribavirin doses of injection and tablets as well as safety gloves and protective vests for health workers.

He said that there are nine specialist centres across Nigeria where tests on Lassa fever can be done. Pate advised Nigerians not to panic as the government is responding promptly and effectively to the outbreak.

Lassa fever is a viral disease that attacks the liver, nervous system, spleen and kidney, causing them to bleed, hence the haemorrhagic fever. According to online encyclopaedia Wikipedia, Lassa fever was first described in 1969 in the town of Lassa, in Borno State, Nigeria, in the Yedseram river valley at the south end of Lake Chad. It is an infection that is endemic in West African countries of Liberia, Sierra Leone, Guinea and even Central African Republic and Congo DR. About 300,000-500,000 cases occur annually, with approximately 5,000 deaths. Symptoms of Lassa fever include fever, retrosternal pain (pain behind the chest wall), sore throat, back pain, cough, abdominal pain, vomiting, diarrhoea, conjunctivitis, facial swelling, proteinuria (protein in the urine), and mucosal bleeding, bleeding from the mouth, nose, vagina or gastrointestinal tract and low blood pressure.

The virus lives in rats and infects humans when they come in contact with these rats' urine and faeces. Pate explained that increasing awareness is being created for Nigerians to avoid rats and keep them away from stored food and drinking water. People living in rural areas or in crowded and unsanitary environment, where rats breed, are at the greatest ri

India seeks to integrate disease surveillance
Planning Commission is considering the integration of human and animal disease surveillance plans

The Planning Commission is considering a proposal to integrate human and animal disease surveillance programmes, following regular outbreaks of Japanese encephalitis, leptospirosis and H1N1 influenza— all of which have jumped the species barrier and are now endemic in India.

Under the 12th Five-Year Plan that starts 1 April, a standing committee has gone as far as recommending the creation of a veterinary doctor’s post in the Integrated Disease Surveillance Project (IDSP) at the district level.

The H1N1 influenza pandemic of 2009 that led to 18,036 deaths across the world (according to the World Health Organization) posed several challenges in India with regard to containment.

Besides this, with India categorized as a “hot spot” for emerging infectious diseases (EID), according to a study by the Institute of Zoology, Zoological Society of London, the government wants to minimize the risk of any global outbreak starting off from the country.

Zoonotic diseases are infections transmissible between vertebrate animals and humans.

According to a paper by the Royal Society of London on biological sciences, 60% of all known human infections and 75% of emerging pathogens are zoonotic in origin. India is a hot spot because of the heavy density of livestock, human population and ecological diversity in the country.

“Currently, a system of response for zoonotic diseases is non-existent in India,” said a person who worked on the report of the working group on disease burden that’s being considered by the Planning Commission, on condition of anonymity. “Several new infections have ‘jumped species’ and are now thriving in human populations. The 11th Plan gave low priority to zoonoses and this report is an attempt to change that.”

The report also proposes the setting up of a zoonosis coordination cell under the National Centre for Disease Control (NCDC).

“We have learnt our lessons from recent pandemics like H1N1 and avian influenza,” said L.S. Chauhan, director, National Centre for Disease Control (NCDC). “This is a new area for us, we are still learning and are moving cautiously. These initiatives are baby steps towards a comprehensive policy.

Since a large number of diseases are zoonotic in origin, coordination is critical in controlling those that emerge, he said. “We are looking to integrate agriculture, animal husbandry and human health but the proper inter-sectoral interface will take sometime.”

The government will set aside Rs.3,049.35 crore for NCDC in the 12th Plan, out of which Rs.52 crore will be directed at strengthening laboratories, manpower and IEC (information, education and communication) activities for zoonotic diseases.

Additionally, NCDC has also proposed the appointment of 35 veterinary doctors, one for each state and union territory, in the 12th Plan.

Zoonotic infections that have crossed the species barrier are SARS, swine flu, HIV, dengue fever, H1N1, avian flu, Ebola virus disease, mad cow disease and monkey pox.

Hi Wayne

Here is some ZetaTalk about immunizations

After the pole shift, there will be many opportunistic diseases that will afflict mankind. This does not require an imagination, as today they afflict mankind after disasters. The primary affliction will be from sewage laden water, which will pollute the drinking water man is forced to use. We have been adamant about mankind distilling their drinking water after the pole shift for this reason. Distillation removes heavy metals as well as killing microbes by the boiling process. Any disease that flourishes in malnourished bodies and in areas of poor hygiene will take advantage of the pole shift disasters. Scurvy due to lack of Vitamin C will occur, with bleeding gums and even death if not corrected. Many weeds are high in Vitamin C and survivors should arm themselves with knowledge about the vitamin content of weeds. Unprotected sex by survivors either taking advantage of the weak, as in rape, or by simple distraction and grief and a lack of contraceptive devices will spread AIDS and hepatitis. Morgellons, which is caused by a synergy of parasites and microbes when the immune system is low will likely increase. There will be outbreaks of diseases which were endemic in the past, such as small pox or measles, but in those survivor communities where the members have been immunized in the past these will be limited and quarantines can help in this regard

The dangers of vaccines are well known by man, and thoroughly discussed on the Internet. While trying to stimulate the immune system, vaccines can also stimulate an autoimmune response. This is the basis for the increased incidence of Guillian Barre syndrome after vaccinations, and the basis for increased autism in youngsters. Autism is caused in part by an immune response of the mother to the infant in her womb, due to stress and tension in the mother. This tendency is heritable, so the infant can develop autoimmune responses to its own brain tissue too.

A recent measles outbreak in Milwaukee is causing a renewed push for immunizations amongst preschoolers. Many people believe that there are just too many immunizations given to our youngest most precious children and can't be good for them. There is still mercury in a lot of the vaccines and who knows what else is being injected into our life's blood. Is stepping up on these early childhood immunizations a good thing or a not so good thing?

At present, vaccines do not poison people, though this has been planned by those who would sculpt mankind into the worker base they desire in the Aftertime. There are a certain number of adverse reactions to vaccines, as is known. We have stated that mercury is not responsible for the increase in autism, and consistent statistics bear this out. Autism is on the rise for many reason, most related to the increase in tension in mankind, who senses that things are amiss and that they are being lied to by the authorities. The rise in illness has been noted for the past few years, which was one of our predictions, due to depressed immune systems and emanations from the core of the Earth. A parallel phenomena is a rise in auto-immune reactions, which is due to a heightened immune system. Many cases of autism are auto-immune related, either from the

Hi all. I was wondering if the Zeta has any warning against childhood immunization. Is it wise for my baby to get her MMR shots? There are a lot of warning on the net against the shots and especially vaccines. Are there any benefits to these shots for after the pole shift and now in particular with an increase in disease outbreaks.
