Why would you persist with an activity like smoking cigarettes in the face of mountainous evidence that smoking kills? Well, lets take a look at it.

Human beings are wired to seek pleasure and avoid pain. Pleasure is perceived as something that supports our values and pain is perceived as something that challenges our values. Pleasure is provided by perceived benefits, and pain is experienced with perceived drawbacks.

For a person to conduct any activity they need to be motivated to do so. That motivation comes from a perceived imbalance in the ratio of benefits to drawbacks expected from conducting the activity. If you expect more benefits than drawbacks you will do it, if you expect more drawbacks than benefits, you won’t do it. Common sense, right?

Well for a smoker to continue to smoke, they must perceive more benefits than drawbacks in smoking. Lets look at some of the common benefits reported by smokers:

• “It relaxes me“
• “Its a social activity”
• “Smoking helps me think”
• “It gives me a break”

So for a smoker to continue smoking, they prefer these benefits, over the all-to-well advertised drawbacks. What I notice about these benefits though, is that they are all immediate, and short lived. As we know the ultimate drawback of death, is long term.

So smokers are trading off these short term benefits, ultimately for their life. This is why regular smokers have already quit. They have given up on the idea of a long, healthy and vibrant life, and sometimes you can see it in their body language, their actions, and their attitudes.

Don’t get me wrong. I’m not saying smoking is bad. I’m saying that at the most fundamental level, regular smokers have given up on life. This is a choice smokers’ have made, either consciously or unconsciously, and that is fine. People are entitled to their choices. Yes smokers burden the medical system and therefore all of us through medicare, but hey, they also stimulate the economy and pay ridiculously high taxes that relieve the pressure on our income taxes. The truth is that the benefits and drawbacks for all of us are balanced.

My values are on life, health, and vitality, so personally, smoking challenges me. I would be happy if smoking in public was banned entirely. The smell is unpleasant and I feel my lungs choking up even when I smell cigarettes at a distance. This is my body’s natural defence mechanisms responding to avoid the toxins in cigarettes. I am ok with you smoking, but do it in private. It is not my desire to share your passive smoke and your ultimate fate.

If you are looking for a new scientific study that shows that vaccines kill children then i’m afraid you will not find it here. You wont find it anywhere actually, unless you search VERY thoroughly. You won’t see any scientific study, but chances are that one day, you or someone you love will lose a child soon after receiving a vaccine, and that will be all the evidence you will ever need.

Vaccinations are a heated topic but there is no way I can keep my opinion to myself. It is too important, too critical to too many. I have to share my view that vaccines are simply not worth the risk to put it mildly.

There is a law of the universe that I want you to keep in mind while reading this article, and that is: “No living organism will ever destroy the thing that it depends on for its own survival.”

I’m not a scientist with millions of dollars of research grants but I am an aware citizen. I observe. I observe an entire multi-billion dollar industry whose survival depends on selling vaccines the same way that Coca-Cola’s survival depends on selling its product. The marketing of vaccines is more sinister though, and it has to be. Coke at least tastes ok to a lot of people.

Vaccines are sold by two main marketing ploys: medical authority, and peer pressure. We are told that ‘medical research proves that vaccines save lives’. Yeah, medical research that has been sponsored by vaccine profiteers and only includes half the story. ‘The Polio vaccine eradicated polio!’ Bollocks. Improved living standards eradicated polio. If you don’t yet understand that researchers can find whatever you pay them to find then you have some learning to do about the reality of life (Fraudulent Medical Research). High profile research looks for links between vaccines and SIDS and vaccines and autism like Enron’s CEO Ken Lay looked for fraud.

The peer pressure aspect of vaccination marketing is huge and ties in perfectly with the medical authority aspect. If you, heaven forbid, decide to question vaccination you have a whole raft of peers from friends, to teachers, to nurses, to doctors who will cite medical authority in convincing you to tow the line. Don’t forget that ‘my friend is a nurse and she says…’ yes but your friend the nurse has been indoctrinated by the medical system for years and has never genuinely formed her own opinion! Not to mention, her survival in her job partially depends on promoting and administering vaccines!

If you reject vaccinations you are made to feel like some kind of social terrorist who is defiantly endangering the lives of all humankind by creating this ticking time bomb of a child that will surely contract and spread deadly flu viruses of all kinds! ‘Do you want your child to be the one that spread the deadly virus through the whole school?’ Bollocks.

Parents feel that pressure, and they ignorantly yield to it.

All over the world there are tens of thousands of cases of vaccines killing children or rendering them with autism or other permanent disablement. There are too many holes in the arguments of the so called experts for me to even begin to list them. Plenty of others have done a great job of that and if you search you will find them.

I have an issue with these ‘do gooders’ that go running around vaccinating the third world, and even more so with those that recruit westerners to take action to assist them in their mission. The Vicks campaign is a recent example. Their TV advertisements show images of young children running after a vehicle smiling and waving, and another shot of a child saying “thank you very much”. All very ‘feel good’ material. What they fail to show you is that that vehicle was loaded with food hand outs and children screaming in pain during the injections along with those who suffer immediately obvious permanent physical damage. “Thank you very much” indeed.

Babies are born perfect. Any new parent would agree. In fact the early development of the fetus from the zygote stage (one cell) to the first eight cells is the true essence of perfect creation (Read ‘The Ancient Secret of the Flower of Life’ by Drunvalo Melchizedek). Babies, and all humans, are perfect creation. Why then do we treat perfect newborn babies like new computers? ‘Ok we need to upgrade this evolutionary operating system with antivirus MMR 2.0 and Polio 3.1 and H1N1 and…oh no the system crashed! Push the reset button!’

People have forgotten the art of feeling, knowing and intuition. Intuition draws on universal intelligence, the highest source of knowledge available, yet it has sadly been replaced by medical authority and ego. The medical profession is the new infallible church (article to follow), and medicine is primarily a profit industry with health sadly secondary.

I’m not interested in your sponsored scientific research, or your university degree based upon the same, I’m interested in my own inner knowing, and my own inner knowing screams to me that vaccinations are wrong.

Lucky children survive DESPITE vaccinations, not because of them.
