The Poisoned Needle: Suppressed Facts About Vaccinations
Discussing Small Pox decline before Vaccines, history of Vaccines, Cancer and Vaccines, Syphilis, other diseases caused by Vaccines, Polio, Medical interference.
This is the Classic Anti-Vaccination Bible! Eleanor McBean - an Anti-Vaccination activist, researcher and author, created one of the best sources for truth on the Vaccination issue. Cold hard facts and many studies, examples, charts, photos and proofs are included in this very important work. "Physicians have been looking in the wrong direction for the cure of disease. The cause of disease is stubbornly ignored and the seeds for more disease are sown with the use of vaccination. This infusion of poison into the masses only serves to intensify the disease in some cases, suppress the symptoms in others, and create new and more serious disease. Thus, the simple diseases of the past have devolved into the horrors of the present-our terrifying and expanding crop of "killer diseases". Eleanor McBean has accumulated compelling evidence regarding the vaccination of the masses, the role of politics and profit, and reasons we should reject The Poisoned Needle.

In 1956, a father asks "are we guinea pigs?" in a published a letter to Nashville Banner after refusing to have his children inoculated with the Salk vaccine. The general public think that anti vaccine groups came about with Jenny and Wakefield , but the truth is when the vaccines were made mandatory in 1867, many families questioned them and had to pay fines and some went to jail over refusal. Eleanor McBean has accumulated much evidence surrounding vaccinations in the population and adds compelling evidence of how politics and for profit medicine plays a huge role in the vaccination scene. The infusion of vaccines serves to intensify the disease in many cases, and in others suppresses symptoms . Parents should be encouraged to read history of vaccinations before they inject their babies.

This a a must-read book for anyone who wants to know the truth about vaccines. It is full of charts and statistics for those who want detailed facts and hard evidence. There are dozens of quotes from doctors and stories of doctors who were in charge of vaccine programs who changed their minds and tried to stop them to no avail. The graphic photographs of all ages of people damaged by the smallpox vaccine are horrifying and heart-breaking. I wish someone would re-publish it.

A HERETIC informed me about this bk. I looked for the cheapest edition I cd find online & chose this one. Eleanor McBean's bk is absolutely brilliant. THIS EDITION IS HORRIBLE. DO NOT BUY IT. It didn't take long for me to realize just how bad this particular edition is. I don't know the story behind it. It seems likely that it's some sort of bootleg & that the person or people who put it into this form either deliberately or negligently left in or added numerous typos, eliminated the pagination, destroyed the formatting, left out the illustrations, left out the bibliography, left out the index, left out the footnotes, left out the endnotes. If they did this deliberately then their purpose might've been to make the author look bad; if they did it because they're completely incompetent then they did a disservice to the author that's unforgiveable since the actual bk, not really represented here, is very important & deserving of more respect. If they made this despicable edition simply b/c they're just bootlegging it to make money then that's also unforgiveable. There's no publisher listed on the bk. Presumably they're avoiding criticism &/or law suits. Whatever the reason, DON'T BUY THIS. There are other editions.
Here's some info about other editions that I know of:
There's a digital edition available here: https://play.google.com/store/books/d... that's the 1st bk in a series edited by Trung Nguyen. The entire series is called The History of Vaccination & is apparently published by EnCognitive.com . I think they might all be $8.99 apiece. I bought this 1st volume but I've only skimmed through it. It seems very well done. Nguyen has taken the liberty of adding a considerable amount to McBean's original bk. I read it using an Adobe Digital Editions reader - for reasons unknown to me other digital bk readers that I have don't work w/ it.
The hard-copy edition that I bought to replace the execrable one that I warned you about above is the W. D. Gann edition ( https://www.wdgann.com/products/the-p... ). On the bk itself the publisher is listed as "Health Research". This is the edition I'll write a full review about. The current price seems to be $32.00. That seems expensive to me but this seems to be a facsimile of the 1959 edition of the original bk & seems to be complete. This, despite the price, is the edition I recommend if you don't like reading bks on screens (as is the case for me). My review of this edition is here: https://www.goodreads.com/story/show/...
The Internet Archive has a free edition ( https://archive.org/stream/the-poison... ). I have great respect for them but this is another botched edition. The formatting's atrocious, the illustrations, bibliography, & index are missing, etc. If you don't have any money but can download this then you cd do worse than to take advantage of the Internet Archive's service. However, I suggest the 2 editions that precede this if you can afford them.

Nothing new here for me except doctors and experts have been decrying vaccines for over 140 years. Still today this fallacy exists. We will never be healthy until we get rid of vaccines, which should really be called poisons.
May 28, 2023
McBean's book, published in 1957, has been revived as a "classic anti-vaccination bible". It serves as a reminder that the modern antivax movement relies on fantasies and tropes that have been around almost as long as vaccination itself.
The familiar memes jump out at you - vaccine-preventable diseases were on the way out before vaccination (false), there's a medical conspiracy to promote vaccination (physicians who protect themselves and their families with vaccines do so for nefarious reasons, doncha know), the government (who Bean calls "gangsters") isn't trying to improve public health, they're Evil. And so on.
McBean appears to have been heavily triggered by introduction of polio vaccine in the 1950s, which eradicated polio in the U.S. and in most countries around the world, but McBean is in severe denial about that, instead focusing on fantasies like "poison in cola drinks".
McBean rides the crazy train further than most antivaxers, wrongly blaming vaccines not only for side effects but for actually causing a host of diseases (polio, syphilis etc.) and cancer as well. The spectacular lack of evidence for these claims doesn't bother her. She also comes up with doozies like:
"These elusive little nothings (germs) have fooled the people and served the uses of doctors but have vanished into theory when subjected to the clear light of scientific investigation.
These mythical anti-bodies are said to make war on disease germs. But germs are not the cause of disease in the first place and are useful wherever they are found in nature" (got that? Smallpox, Covid-19, Ebola...they're all good for you.)
"Disease is not something to be cured; it is a cure."
"These diseases [measles, chicken-pox, mumps, scarlet fever] are not contagious but are merely cleansing measures of the body"
See, if you get sick or even terminally ill, rejoice! You're being cleansed.
*there are present-day McBeans running around denying germ theory and/or celebrating disease, including antivax doctors Thomas Cowan and Paul Thomas. Again, there's nothing new under the sun in antivax-land, just recycled nonsense.

There is a lot of interesting information and many great quotes from medical professionals in this book. Unfortunately, the book is not well-organized and jumps around a lot and references are lacking. But it's still worth a read!

Eleanor McBean's The Poisoned Needle - Sup[p]ressed Facts about Vaccination
[ISBN 9780787305949 edition]
by tENTATIVELY, a cONVENIENCE - May 22, 2022
For my full review go here: https://www.goodreads.com/story/show/...
A HERETIC informed me about this bk. After making the unfortunate decision to buy a cheaper edition that turned out to be a disgrace to publishing in terms of how poorly done it was (deliberately or not) I was fortunate enuf to get this edition.
The bad cheaper edition (not this one) [ISBN 9798501688650 edition] is missing the following important quote from the beginning of the bk:
""It is exceedingly difficult to secure an honest hearing for any criticism of authority. Established beliefs are well nigh invulnerable because they are accorded infallibility by the masses who are educated to believe that they will be damned for thinking, and because of this, few will tolerate opposition of any nature to anything they have been educated to believe. People who have their thinking done for them are always intolerant."
"— J. H. Tilden, M.D." - backside of title p
I'm an anarchist. For probably my entire life anarchism has been generally considered to be the extreme left of the left - w/ the left being the extreme left of liberalism. I've long-since rejected this idea. To me, being an anarchist means that I'm independent of such ideological simplicities. Some people might call such a positioning "Post-Left Anarchism". I consider myself to be a free thinker.
During the COVID-19 QUARANTYRANNY I've watched the so-called left, including anarchists who consider themselves to be on the leftist spectrum, turn into what I call neo-illiberals. Basic values of the left have been inverted. The left now supports Big Brother, the Police State, Censorship, & Globalization - all things that the left had previously traditionally stood against.
Why? IMO it's b/c the paradigm that's being used to get all the SHEEPLE marching in lockstep is one that was traditionally accepted as 'good' by the left - viz: the Medical Paradigm. Its axioms are: Medicine = good, Doctors = good. I find this paradigm to be completely stupid. However, as Dr. Tilden so astutely observed above, "few will tolerate opposition of any nature to anything they have been educated to believe." This, to me, is all too true. People who hypothetically rejected pro-military brainwashing accept pro-medical brainwashing w/o question. It's a pathetic state of affairs but it's also a dangerous one, dangerous to human intelligence.
This bk is an antidote to the unquestioning acceptance of the medical paradigm. It's also something that the SHEEPLE will never read. An aspect of their brainwashing is that they absolutely will not study anything that goes contrary to their programming. It's intrinsic to their programming that they not do so. They have FACT CHOKERS to steer them away. This review defies the Pavlovian conditioning.
The bad cheaper edition is also missing the dedication. That begins w/ this:
"THIS BOOK IS LOVINGLY DEDICATED —
"TO THE PATIENT SCHOOL CHILDREN who have too long been the innocent victims of medical exploitation.
"TO THE TRUSTING PARENTS who have searched hopelessly in the wrong direction for dependable health instruction." - p 2
The introduction is different in the bad cheap edition. It's missing the 1st paragraph. Perhaps it's a reprint of an earlier edition. I'll just quote the 2nd & 3rd paragraphs here:
"The purpose of this volume is to provide a working reference of various statements regarding vaccination and not to offer a "cure" of any specific disease in any specific individual.
"Preconceived opinions regarding vaccination will not be changed overnight nor by the reading of a single book. Herein are the opinions of many great scientists and doctors (of many schools). Many have spent a life-time of research—of trial and error before making their statements. The reader has the privilege to accept or reject the statements after due deliberation." - p 3
I find many things interesting about the above. The bk doesn't, obviously, offer "cure"s. That, equally obviously, requires an examination of the specific patient - something usually done by a dr. As such, the bk is addressing generalities. Nonetheless, it's the generalities that're the 'axioms', the 'building blocks' that the specifics are based on. If the building blocks, the foundation, on wch anything is based, are faulty then the whole edifice is faulty.
As such, if the belief that viruses are the cause of certain illnesses & that these viruses can be fought by injecting sickening substances into the body to stimulate the production of anti-bodies turns out to be false then all medicine based on it will also be false. People mock the more ancient beliefs that evil spirits cause disease - but is there really that much of a difference between belief in evil spirits & belief in viruses? Both are things invisible under ordinary circumstances to the layperson, both are 'treated' by experts who specialize in the invisible. To quote from an email I sent a friend this morning:
"Instead of priests speaking authoritatively for a higher power, God, we have doctors & researchers & scientists speaking authoritatively for a higher power, science. There's really entirely too little difference precisely b/c as long as the general public puts their faith in something that's essentially unknowable for them they're victims of induced thoughtlessness."
The Introduction goes on to state: "Preconceived opinions regarding vaccination will not be changed overnight nor by the reading of a single book." Note the emphasis on book. The Poisoned Needle was written in the mid-1950s, bks were still considered to be the preferred references, I still prefer them. These days, how many people do you know who actually read bks from front to back, who read bks for research purposes? I know entirely too few & most of them read simple bks, bks hypothetically targetted at an age group that the readers haven't been in for decades.
The Introduction portion quoted then concludes w/ "The reader has the privilege to accept or reject the statements after due deliberation." How often does such a qualification appear? I don't trust bks that make claims to ultimate objectivity - &, yet, isn't that what we're usually subjected to? The 'experts' appear on TV, in the 'news'papers, on the radio - don't they usually act as the ultimate purveyors of 'the truth'?! & yet no person is all-knowing - hence people's belief in 'God', but I don't believe in 'God' & I don't believe in the 'all-knowingness' of the 'experts' who speak as oracles for their science-god either. There're always lines to be read between, subtexts to ferret-out. If medical science really understood disease we wdn't have tortures to 'cure' cancer that don't work but that cost a fortune.
The Acknowledgement is also missing from the cheaper bad edition. Here's its 2nd paragraph:
"Truth is universal and no one had a monopoly on words or knowledge. But the statements of specific facts and findings, by recognized authorities, are essential in a research book composed of collected data from authentic sources." - p 4
Keeping in mind Tilden's quoted warning, one person's 'authorities' are another person's quacks or another person's cover-up for ulterior motives. Still, McBean's point is clearly stated: this is a "research book composed of collected data from authentic sources." It's important to keep in mind that McBean wd've had to go to an enormous amt of trouble to compile all the quotes & reports that're in The Poisoned Needle. She probably went to libraries & studiously went thru newspapers, perhaps in microfiche form. She read, read, & read some more. Working thru such a massive amt of data in those days required a much more serious commitment than online research does these days. As a person who's researched in a wide variety of ways I'm seriously impressed.
McBean makes a bold statement in her Preface that many might consider to be insupportable but mainly I perceive her as challenging the dominant paradigm & I perceive The Poisoned Needle as attempting to back-up this challenge as thoroughly as the author can:
"Our worst epidemics now are epidemics of vaccination in which more people are killed every year by "vaccinal diseases" than by the diseases that the vaccinations were supposed to combat.
"Complete freedom from disease can scarcely be found except in remote islands or isolated communities that have not been invaded by medical mischief and commercialized products. Is our proud civilization to be degraded, corrupted, and destroyed by its own inventions designed for selfish profit and exploitation of the race?" - p 5
My opinion, based on observation, is that one is less likely to get sick in a natural environment that one is regularly existing in. My natural environment is the temperate middle east coast of the US. I think that simply by going for walks in the woods I'm gently in harmony w/ whatever else lives in those woods, microscopic or otherwise. However, if I were to go to the Amazon I'd be very much out-of-place, very much out-of-harmony &, therefore, more likely to get sick. OR, if my natural environment were to become polluted by human factors I'd be much more likely to get sick. Obviously, there was a time when a person walking thru the woods might drink from a stream - very few people wd risk that now given the prevalence of industrial pollution. It's this human-introduced toxicity that I find most concerning.
"INCREASE IN KILLER DISEASES DURING THE PAST 70 YEARS
"Insanity increased 400%
Cancer increased 308%
Anemia increased 300%
Epilepsy increased 397%
Bright's Disease increased 65%
Heart Disease increased 179%
Diabetes increased 1800% (In spite of or because of insulin)
Polio increased 680%" - p 7
What do I make of such statistics? Not much. I don't believe them, I don't disbelieve them. A very detailed treatise on how they were acquired wd have to be written to go into every bit of how they were arrived at & to what extent they shd be trusted. The author's paragraph that follows these statistics is as follows:
"Never in the history of this country have preventable diseases flourished with such wild abandon, continuously being fed by the very drugs and commercialized irritants that set them into operation in the first place." - p 7
I don't feel qualified to distinguish between whether the diseases themselves have increased or just the diagnosis of them or neither. I do tend to think that insanity increases under social conditions increasingly unfavorable to individuality - whether that's now or not is debateable. I also think that cancer increases w/ the increase of pollution, of human-introduced environmental toxins - that seems pretty obviously the case to me. Heart Disease & Diabetes seem intricately related to being overweight & consuming too much sugar & alcohol. I can imagine those are probably side-effects of an increasingly consumerist society. As for the rest? I don't have much of an opinion. Later parts of this bk make a pretty convincing case for me that Polio is a byproduct of accumulated toxins & that these toxins are often voluntarily introduced by drs as 'cures' that backfire. I tend to agree w/ this too. Before I read this bk, I became of the opinion that injecting anything into the body w/ a needle is a bad idea. The Poisoned Needle reinforced this for me.
"R. T. Trall, M.D., was another doctor who gave the medical method a long and thorough trial before abandoning it as a failure. He turned to nature and its simplicity and upon its sound basic laws of healing he brought about miracles of recovery from all diseases. After trying to justify the inconsistencies of medical theory he had this to say:
""Why has not success in treating disease kept pace with the extraordinary progress of knowledge in the other sciences? The answer is ready: A successful practice of the healing art must be based upon the laws of life, the economy of vitality. The only foundation, therefore, of true healing is correct physiological principles; and here is precisely where the whole orthodox medical system of the present day fails — utterly and totally fails. It has no physiological and biological science upon which to truly practice the healing art."" - p 8
One of the problems w/ reviewing this bk is that it's almost as if I have to quote the entire thing & then search for additional souces that substantiate its positions. Even writing it in the long-winded but still inadequate way that I'm planning to will fall far short of my ideal. E.G.: providing a bio of R. T. Trall wd be helpful - but I'm not going there b/c my plans for this review are already too ambitious.
"Dr. Shelton writes: "The whole of the modern medical practice of vaccine, serum and antitoxin therapy is based upon the supposition that the body manufactures substances called anti-toxins, anti-bodies, antigens, etc., which are capable of meeting and destroying toxins that get into the body. The idea seems to be sound, although it is possible that the work of destroying such toxins is the detoxification carried on by the liver, and lymph glands, etc. Anti-toxins, anti-bodies, antigens, etc., have never been isolated. They have only been assumed" - p 9
Dr. Shelton's The Hygienic System from wch the above quote comes, dates from 1939 so my 1st question is: Have anti-bodies been isolated? According to "Trends in Immunology" (2016): "A major advance in bNAb isolation and characterization was the development of single antigen-specific B cell cloning methods that allowed the rapid isolation of monoclonal antibodies (MAbs) [19,20,24,33–40]." ( https://www.sciencedirect.com/topics/... ) That's 77 yrs later than Shelton's bk. Another recent (2013) source says this:
"Recent advances in the isolation, culture and expansion of human B cells and the recovery of genes encoding immunoglobulin (Ig) are enabling the isolation of large numbers of antibodies to be used for probing the humoral immune response and developing diagnostics and therapeutics. The history of these advances and the use of these techniques were recently described in a comprehensive review1."
[..]
"1. Wilson PC, Andrews SF. Tools to therapeutically harness the human antibody response. Nat Rev Immunol. 2012;12:709–719. [PMC free article] [PubMed] [Google Scholar]"
- https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/arti...
So it seems that Shelton's assertion probably held true at the time of his writing but no longer does so. I imagine that the belief in antibodies might be so deeply entrenched in medical science that finding them might be ascribing a pre-existing explanation for something the finding of wch is wishful thinking. Still, having spent most of my life thinking that antibodies are a probability I won't abandon the idea just yet.
""The best, indeed the only, method of promoting individual and public health is to teach people the laws of nature and thus teach them how to preserve their health. Immunization programs are futile and are based on the delusions that the law of cause and effect can be annulled. Vaccines and serums are employed as substitutes for right living; they are intended to supplant obedience to the laws of life. Such programs are slaps in the face of law and order. Belief in immunization is a form of delusional insanity." (PRINCIPLES OF NATURAL HEALING — p. 478 — Shelton)" - p 10
I both agree & disagree w/ the above. I'm uncomfortable w/ expressions like "the laws of nature", I perceive nature as a very fluid state, something that adapts w/ an almost endless flexibility; I don't see it as something that has "laws", at least not in the sense that "laws" is usually used to mean fixed always-definable conditions. As such, Shelton's way of expressing his point is too far off from my feelings for me to easily relate or agree. Where I identify the most is when he writes "Vaccines and serums are employed as substitutes for right living" - even then, the language bothers me. I think that the medical attitude, at least in the case of 'Western medicine', is the 'quick fix' attitude: Oh, you're an obese alcoholic? Here, take these pills.
In other words, there're things that most people know they can do to improve their health: maintain a weight that doesn't put too much of a strain on their muscles & their organs - a person's body cannot handle 350 pounds; don't use or overuse things that're obviously toxic: sugar, alcohol, cigarettes, heroin, crack, speed, caffeine, etc.. Despite the common knowledge of such things, people go to drs instead & shoot insulin rather than cutting back on their sugar consumption, etc, etc.. Such an approach is a way of avoiding taking a hard look at one's failings & trying to improve oneself. It's the lazy way, the way that got them into their dilemma in the 1st place.
"Dr. J. W. Hodge had considerable experience with vaccination before he denounced it and wrote a book on his collected data. In his book THE VACCINATION SUPERSTITION (p 41) he states:
""After a thorough investigation of the most authentic records and facts in harmony with the physician's daily observations and experiences, the conclusion is drawn that instead of protecting its subjects from contagion of smallpox, vaccination actually renders them more susceptible to it. Vaccination is the implantation of disease . . . Every pathogenic disturbance in the infected organism wastes and lowers the vital powers, and this diminishes its natural resisting capacity.["]" - p 10

However, as Dr. Tilden so astutely observed above, "few will tolerate opposition of any nature to anything they have been educated to believe." This, to me, is all too true. People who hypothetically rejected pro-military brainwashing accept pro-medical brainwashing w/o question. It's a pathetic state of affairs but it's also a dangerous one, dangerous to human intelligence.
This bk is an antidote to the unquestioning acceptance of the medical paradigm. It's also something that the SHEEPLE will never read. An aspect of their brainwashing is that they absolutely will not study anything that goes contrary to their programming. It's intrinsic to their programming that they not do so. They have FACT CHOKERS to steer them away. This review defies the Pavlovian conditioning.
The bad cheaper edition is also missing the dedication. That begins w/ this:
"THIS BOOK IS LOVINGLY DEDICATED —
"TO THE PATIENT SCHOOL CHILDREN who have too long been the innocent victims of medical exploitation.
"TO THE TRUSTING PARENTS who have searched hopelessly in the wrong direction for dependable health instruction." - p 2
The introduction is different in the bad cheap edition. It's missing the 1st paragraph. Perhaps it's a reprint of an earlier edition. I'll just quote the 2nd & 3rd paragraphs here:
"The purpose of this volume is to provide a working reference of various statements regarding vaccination and not to offer a "cure" of any specific disease in any specific individual.
"Preconceived opinions regarding vaccination will not be changed overnight nor by the reading of a single book. Herein are the opinions of many great scientists and doctors (of many schools). Many have spent a life-time of research—of trial and error before making their statements. The reader has the privilege to accept or reject the statements after due deliberation." - p 3
I find many things interesting about the above. The bk doesn't, obviously, offer "cure"s. That, equally obviously, requires an examination of the specific patient - something usually done by a dr. As such, the bk is addressing generalities. Nonetheless, it's the generalities that're the 'axioms', the 'building blocks' that the specifics are based on. If the building blocks, the foundation, on wch anything is based, are faulty then the whole edifice is faulty.
As such, if the belief that viruses are the cause of certain illnesses & that these viruses can be fought by injecting sickening substances into the body to stimulate the production of anti-bodies turns out to be false then all medicine based on it will also be false. People mock the more ancient beliefs that evil spirits cause disease - but is there really that much of a difference between belief in evil spirits & belief in viruses? Both are things invisible under ordinary circumstances to the layperson, both are 'treated' by experts who specialize in the invisible. To quote from an email I sent a friend this morning:
"Instead of priests speaking authoritatively for a higher power, God, we have doctors & researchers & scientists speaking authoritatively for a higher power, science. There's really entirely too little difference precisely b/c as long as the general public puts their faith in something that's essentially unknowable for them they're victims of induced thoughtlessness."
The Introduction goes on to state: "Preconceived opinions regarding vaccination will not be changed overnight nor by the reading of a single book." Note the emphasis on book. The Poisoned Needle was written in the mid-1950s, bks were still considered to be the preferred references, I still prefer them. These days, how many people do you know who actually read bks from front to back, who read bks for research purposes? I know entirely too few & most of them read simple bks, bks hypothetically targetted at an age group that the readers haven't been in for decades.
The Introduction portion quoted then concludes w/ "The reader has the privilege to accept or reject the statements after due deliberation." How often does such a qualification appear? I don't trust bks that make claims to ultimate objectivity - &, yet, isn't that what we're usually subjected to? The 'experts' appear on TV, in the 'news'papers, on the radio - don't they usually act as the ultimate purveyors of 'the truth'?! & yet no person is all-knowing - hence people's belief in 'God', but I don't believe in 'God' & I don't believe in the 'all-knowingness' of the 'experts' who speak as oracles for their science-god either. There're always lines to be read between, subtexts to ferret-out. If medical science really understood disease we wdn't have tortures to 'cure' cancer that don't work but that cost a fortune.
The Acknowledgement is also missing from the cheaper bad edition. Here's its 2nd paragraph:
"Truth is universal and no one had a monopoly on words or knowledge. But the statements of specific facts and findings, by recognized authorities, are essential in a research book composed of collected data from authentic sources." - p 4
Keeping in mind Tilden's quoted warning, one person's 'authorities' are another person's quacks or another person's cover-up for ulterior motives. Still, McBean's point is clearly stated: this is a "research book composed of collected data from authentic sources." It's important to keep in mind that McBean wd've had to go to an enormous amt of trouble to compile all the quotes & reports that're in The Poisoned Needle. She probably went to libraries & studiously went thru newspapers, perhaps in microfiche form. She read, read, & read some more. Working thru such a massive amt of data in those days required a much more serious commitment than online research does these days. As a person who's researched in a wide variety of ways I'm seriously impressed.
McBean makes a bold statement in her Preface that many might consider to be insupportable but mainly I perceive her as challenging the dominant paradigm & I perceive The Poisoned Needle as attempting to back-up this challenge as thoroughly as the author can:
"Our worst epidemics now are epidemics of vaccination in which more people are killed every year by "vaccinal diseases" than by the diseases that the vaccinations were supposed to combat.
"Complete freedom from disease can scarcely be found except in remote islands or isolated communities that have not been invaded by medical mischief and commercialized products. Is our proud civilization to be degraded, corrupted, and destroyed by its own inventions designed for selfish profit and exploitation of the race?" - p 5
My opinion, based on observation, is that one is less likely to get sick in a natural environment that one is regularly existing in. My natural environment is the temperate middle east coast of the US. I think that simply by going for walks in the woods I'm gently in harmony w/ whatever else lives in those woods, microscopic or otherwise. However, if I were to go to the Amazon I'd be very much out-of-place, very much out-of-harmony &, therefore, more likely to get sick. OR, if my natural environment were to become polluted by human factors I'd be much more likely to get sick. Obviously, there was a time when a person walking thru the woods might drink from a stream - very few people wd risk that now given the prevalence of industrial pollution. It's this human-introduced toxicity that I find most concerning.
"INCREASE IN KILLER DISEASES DURING THE PAST 70 YEARS
"Insanity increased 400%
Cancer increased 308%
Anemia increased 300%
Epilepsy increased 397%
Bright's Disease increased 65%
Heart Disease increased 179%
Diabetes increased 1800% (In spite of or because of insulin)
Polio increased 680%" - p 7
What do I make of such statistics? Not much. I don't believe them, I don't disbelieve them. A very detailed treatise on how they were acquired wd have to be written to go into every bit of how they were arrived at & to what extent they shd be trusted. The author's paragraph that follows these statistics is as follows:
"Never in the history of this country have preventable diseases flourished with such wild abandon, continuously being fed by the very drugs and commercialized irritants that set them into operation in the first place." - p 7
I don't feel qualified to distinguish between whether the diseases themselves have increased or just the diagnosis of them or neither. I do tend to think that insanity increases under social conditions increasingly unfavorable to individuality - whether that's now or not is debateable. I also think that cancer increases w/ the increase of pollution, of human-introduced environmental toxins - that seems pretty obviously the case to me. Heart Disease & Diabetes seem intricately related to being overweight & consuming too much sugar & alcohol. I can imagine those are probably side-effects of an increasingly consumerist society. As for the rest? I don't have much of an opinion. Later parts of this bk make a pretty convincing case for me that Polio is a byproduct of accumulated toxins & that these toxins are often voluntarily introduced by drs as 'cures' that backfire. I tend to agree w/ this too. Before I read this bk, I became of the opinion that injecting anything into the body w/ a needle is a bad idea. The Poisoned Needle reinforced this for me.
"R. T. Trall, M.D., was another doctor who gave the medical method a long and thorough trial before abandoning it as a failure. He turned to nature and its simplicity and upon its sound basic laws of healing he brought about miracles of recovery from all diseases. After trying to justify the inconsistencies of medical theory he had this to say:
""Why has not success in treating disease kept pace with the extraordinary progress of knowledge in the other sciences? The answer is ready: A successful practice of the healing art must be based upon the laws of life, the economy of vitality. The only foundation, therefore, of true healing is correct physiological principles; and here is precisely where the whole orthodox medical system of the present day fails — utterly and totally fails. It has no physiological and biological science upon which to truly practice the healing art."" - p 8
One of the problems w/ reviewing this bk is that it's almost as if I have to quote the entire thing & then search for additional souces that substantiate its positions. Even writing it in the long-winded but still inadequate way that I'm planning to will fall far short of my ideal. E.G.: providing a bio of R. T. Trall wd be helpful - but I'm not going there b/c my plans for this review are already too ambitious.
"Dr. Shelton writes: "The whole of the modern medical practice of vaccine, serum and antitoxin therapy is based upon the supposition that the body manufactures substances called anti-toxins, anti-bodies, antigens, etc., which are capable of meeting and destroying toxins that get into the body. The idea seems to be sound, although it is possible that the work of destroying such toxins is the detoxification carried on by the liver, and lymph glands, etc. Anti-toxins, anti-bodies, antigens, etc., have never been isolated. They have only been assumed" - p 9
Dr. Shelton's The Hygienic System from wch the above quote comes, dates from 1939 so my 1st question is: Have anti-bodies been isolated? According to "Trends in Immunology" (2016): "A major advance in bNAb isolation and characterization was the development of single antigen-specific B cell cloning methods that allowed the rapid isolation of monoclonal antibodies (MAbs) [19,20,24,33–40]." ( https://www.sciencedirect.com/topics/... ) That's 77 yrs later than Shelton's bk. Another recent (2013) source says this:
"Recent advances in the isolation, culture and expansion of human B cells and the recovery of genes encoding immunoglobulin (Ig) are enabling the isolation of large numbers of antibodies to be used for probing the humoral immune response and developing diagnostics and therapeutics. The history of these advances and the use of these techniques were recently described in a comprehensive review1."
[..]
"1. Wilson PC, Andrews SF. Tools to therapeutically harness the human antibody response. Nat Rev Immunol. 2012;12:709–719. [PMC free article] [PubMed] [Google Scholar]"
- https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/arti...
So it seems that Shelton's assertion probably held true at the time of his writing but no longer does so. I imagine that the belief in antibodies might be so deeply entrenched in medical science that finding them might be ascribing a pre-existing explanation for something the finding of wch is wishful thinking. Still, having spent most of my life thinking that antibodies are a probability I won't abandon the idea just yet.
""The best, indeed the only, method of promoting individual and public health is to teach people the laws of nature and thus teach them how to preserve their health. Immunization programs are futile and are based on the delusions that the law of cause and effect can be annulled. Vaccines and serums are employed as substitutes for right living; they are intended to supplant obedience to the laws of life. Such programs are slaps in the face of law and order. Belief in immunization is a form of delusional insanity." (PRINCIPLES OF NATURAL HEALING — p. 478 — Shelton)" - p 10
I both agree & disagree w/ the above. I'm uncomfortable w/ expressions like "the laws of nature", I perceive nature as a very fluid state, something that adapts w/ an almost endless flexibility; I don't see it as something that has "laws", at least not in the sense that "laws" is usually used to mean fixed always-definable conditions. As such, Shelton's way of expressing his point is too far off from my feelings for me to easily relate or agree. Where I identify the most is when he writes "Vaccines and serums are employed as substitutes for right living" - even then, the language bothers me. I think that the medical attitude, at least in the case of 'Western medicine', is the 'quick fix' attitude: Oh, you're an obese alcoholic? Here, take these pills.
In other words, there're things that most people know they can do to improve their health: maintain a weight that doesn't put too much of a strain on their muscles & their organs - a person's body cannot handle 350 pounds; don't use or overuse things that're obviously toxic: sugar, alcohol, cigarettes, heroin, crack, speed, caffeine, etc.. Despite the common knowledge of such things, people go to drs instead & shoot insulin rather than cutting back on their sugar consumption, etc, etc.. Such an approach is a way of avoiding taking a hard look at one's failings & trying to improve oneself. It's the lazy way, the way that got them into their dilemma in the 1st place.
"Dr. J. W. Hodge had considerable experience with vaccination before he denounced it and wrote a book on his collected data. In his book THE VACCINATION SUPERSTITION (p 41) he states:
""After a thorough investigation of the most authentic records and facts in harmony with the physician's daily observations and experiences, the conclusion is drawn that instead of protecting its subjects from contagion of smallpox, vaccination actually renders them more susceptible to it. Vaccination is the implantation of disease . . . Every pathogenic disturbance in the infected organism wastes and lowers the vital powers, and this diminishes its natural resisting capacity.["]" - p 10

A historic "I told you so". There was no "Spanish Flu" during WW1, only poison vaccines that murdered millions. There is no Covid 19 virus, only poison vaccines to murder again. Poison vaccines come from the satanic depopulation crowd. Blind doctors and drug dealers who are deceived into thinking there are too many people alive. There are depopulation cheerleaders this time around and they all will be judged by God, eventually. Since the poison vaccines have been widely exposed as a depopulation tool, anyone in 2021 and after who is taking the death jab is CLEARLY suicidal and insane. There will be a "Nuremberg Trial" on Judgment Day. The murderers and its cheerleaders won't escape that day.

Must read for anyone interested in learning the hidden truths of the medical industry and what vaxxines really are . Wont spoil it but must read an eye opener .
