Thank you Gentleman, but I am still not convinced that immunization by humans is the best answer. My father was against immunization and he wouldn’t allow me to be immunized, but I was once at school. I am still very fit and healthy at 68 years of age. I spent my working life as a surveyor and now as a prospector. I played my first eight holes of golf with a group of pensioners today and a lady accused me of having played before ! I had no serious illness as a child or adult. I have sex about once a week with my 66 year old very sexy Lady : ) . Most of my mates are dead from self inflicted illness caused by alcohol, tobacco, bad diet, junk food, obesity, laziness etc.

My first five children all lived in Darwin city and were all fully immunized. They got the flu every year and colds and fevers and other weird illnesses. It was a nightmare at times. They were only breast fed for a few weeks and their diet was not good.

My second two children with my second wife had no immunizations and they are by far the healthiest of them all. My wife studied the subject thoroughly for 6 months before she got pregnant. She never used the pill, but I used condoms. She breast fed my son for two and a half years and my daughter for 2 years. We lived in a jungle that always had mosquitoes, sand flies and various other biting insects. (Natural immunization ?)

I grew various vegetables and fruit trees and made fresh bread twice a week from organic wheat that I ground in an electric stone mill. We drank untreated water from a well in the ground. I am a keen fisherman and we ate fish at least twice a week. We had our own free range chickens, ducks and geese for eggs and meat. We also had two Jack Russel dogs and they are now 15 and 16 years of age and they are still fit and healthy, except for their teeth.

These two children had a far better diet and exercise regime than my first family. My son is now 32 and a self employed L.A.M.E. He is very fit and healthy and has never suffered any illness apart from a couple of mild colds. My daughter is 28 and an accountant with an Airline. She plays touch rugby etc. She has never suffered any serious illness apart from a couple of mild colds.

Immunization is probably the best answer for most people living in cities, but I would still not recommend it to anyone, despite your learned advice ! “You are what you eat etc…” IMNSHO.
