See book keywords and concepts |  Research confirms that the whooping cough vaccine is only effective in 36 percent of children. A report by Professor Gordon Stewart, which was published in 1994 in World Medicine, demonstrated that the risks of the whooping cough vaccine outweighed the benefits. The whooping cough or pertussis vaccine is by far the most dangerous of all the vaccines. DTP, the whooping cough vaccine that was used in the U.S. until 1992, contained the carcinogen formaldehyde, and the highly toxic metals aluminum and mercury. |

See book keywords and concepts |  In the United States, widespread treatment for whooping cough began early, in 1930, and is responsible, according to the McKinleys, for a 51% fall in mortality. While this is surely an impressive accomplishment, it should be noted that by the 1930s the death rate from whooping cough was already quite low. Indeed these declines in whooping cough mortality account for only 0.5% of the entire decrease in mortality from 1900 to 1970.
Did Lewis Thomas choose the wrong example? Of airborne diseases, the great success story and exemplar of orthodoxy would seem to be tuberculosis. |

See book keywords and concepts | | Let us examine reductions in death from diphtheria and whooping cough (childhood pertussis), both airborne infectious diseases, both cited by Thomas "as success" stories of medicine. Both diseases have declined dramatically. Yet 120 years of British data show declines in mortality from these two diseases account for only a small contribution to the total decline in mortality, 6.2%" and 2.6%, respectively, together accounting for 8.8% of the total reduction in mortality. Twentieth-century data for the United States tell a similar story. |

Ant tart: If there is an audible amount of mucus rattling in the chest, try Ant tart. The child may instinctively have to bend slightly backwards during a coughing spasm in order to raise mucus from the chest. | | All children under one year old who have whooping cough should be evaluated for hospitalization, and children that come into contact with an infected person should be given a prophylactic antibiotic. The local health department should always be notified of any cases.
Antibiotics: Although antibiotics have only a minor effect on the disease once the symptoms are present, they are administered as they do shorten the recovery time. They also prevent the spread of the illness. Erythromycin is the antibiotic of choice and a 14-day course is usually required. | | In younger children, especially infants, symptoms of whooping cough must be closely monitored by a doctor and antibiotics may be required. \ "1 f I Older children and adults tend to have milder symptoms, although early \| \f antibiotic use will decrease the period in which they are contagious.
Herbs are used to boost the immune system, relax lung spasms, and soothe the cough reflex. Herbs should be adjusted according to the age of the patient; consult a medical herbalist for specifics. The doses outlined below are appropriate for older children and adults. | | To treat the later stage of whooping cough: Combine 3 g of ginseng, 10 g of Bai Zhu (white atractylodes root), 10 g of Fuling (poria), 12 g of Mai Men Dong (ophiopogon tuber), 10 g of Wu Wei Zi (schisandra fruit), and 3 pieces of Da Zhao (Chinese jujube).
Acupuncture: Treatment may help reduce the symptoms, and shorten the course of the disease. However, children may prefer acupressure.

Acupressure: In a sitting position, have someone apply gently pressure to the Fei Shu and Din Chuan points with the tip of a finger. | | Diet: Yi Yi Ren (seeds of Job's tears), Daikon radishes, almonds, kumquats, mandarin oranges, tangerines, thyme, and ginger are all helpful in easing whooping cough. There are also several recipes that may help with this ailment. Try steaming 5-10 kumquats with 30 g of rock sugar for % hour and eat a few twice a day. Make a tea using 6 g of licorice root, 30 g of honey, and 10 g of vinegar. Boil the ingredients in water for 10 minutes and drink. You can also try a tea made from 3 g of licorice and 15-20 g of fresh ginger. Add water and boil for 10 minutes before drinking. | | Antimicrobial herbs: As the mucus produced by whooping cough is often difficult to expectorate, it is best to combine antibacterial herbs with herbs that loosen infected mucus in the lungs. Herbs that strengthen the immune system and fight bacteria directly are echinacea, Oregon grape, garlic, andrographis, and thyme. These herbs should be taken until symptoms have resolved. Combine equal parts of each herb in tincture form and take 60 drops four times daily. |

3. Shingles vaccine: everyone over sixty years old. Though expensive (about $300), it decreases the incidence of the xiber-painful condition of shingles. Some insurance companies may reimburse for this shot. Check with your insurance provider, and if it's covered, ask for the insurance code and provide it to your doctor—you may find this number makes it easier for all.
4. Pneumovax: for people over fifty. Repeat at sixty-five years old (if five years since first one). |

Daffodil is used for irritation of the mucous membranes such as bronchial catarrh, whooping cough, colds and asthma.
PRECAUTIONS AND ADVERSE REACTIONS
No health hazards or side effects are known in conjunction with the proper administration of designated therapeutic dosages. The plant possesses a weak potential for sensitization, a condition called "daffodil itch".
OVERDOSAGE
Overdosage or accidental intake of the bulbs, (instead of cooking onions), can lead to poisonings. |

See book keywords and concepts | | First, fatalities from whooping cough and measles, both with similar natural histories to diphtheria, began a similar decline without a correspondent prophylaxis or treatment; second, the national immunization campaign for diphtheria, which marked the first systematic and widespread use of diphtheria antitoxin in Great Britain, was not initiated until the early 1940s. Still, McKeown notes, that after this national campaign, deaths from diphtheria almost disappeared. |

See book keywords and concepts | | DTP, the whooping cough vaccine that was used in the U.S. until 1992, contained the carcinogen formaldehyde, and the highly toxic metals aluminum and mercury. Both this vaccine and its "improved" version DTaP have never been tested for safety, only for efficacy.
The new vaccine has proved to be no better than the old one. Both versions cause death, near-death, seizures, developmental delay, and hospitalization. DTaP (formerly DTP) is given to babies as young as six weeks old, although the vaccine has never been tested on this age group. | | Among the 17 potential health problems caused by the whooping cough vaccine is sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS). According to an estimate from the University of California at Los Angeles, 1,000 U.S. infants a year die as a direct result of receiving the vaccine.
These and other vaccines have never been tested for safety on humans; they are only tested on animals. Vaccines cannot be proven safe until they are given to humans, for the first time. Giving vaccines to human turns them into human "guinea pigs." It is not possible to predeict what reactions they will have. | | Among the causes of anaphylactic shock are immunizations for diphtheria, tetanus, hepatitis B, and whooping cough. A young person's immune system hasn't typically matured enough to be effective against this type of onslaught
No less dangerous is the Guillain-Barre syndrome which leads to paralysis and is caused by immunizations for measles, diphtheria, influenza, tetanus, and the oral polio vaccine. This is hardly surprising when one considers the high toxicity of the vaccines. |

See book keywords and concepts |  Routine vaccination for polio, smallpox, and whooping cough meant that losing a child to infectious disease was no longer the norm but a rarity. Hospitals were no longer simply warehouses for the sick and dying, where little more than comfort could be offered; they had become factories whose product was miracles—"gleaming palaces of medical science," as sociologist Paul Starr puts it, where doctors were in the midst of pioneering work that would soon allow them to mend damaged hearts with open-heart surgery, transplant organs, and routinely postpone death with kidney dialysis. |
