Small scale test and were monitored and pulled when shown to be
dangerous on large scale. Would you like to mention the people that
have been seriously hurt and died from using "alternative"
treatments?

yet she didn't cure anyone, did she? she didn't prevent the spread of
the disease at all. (does anyone else see red herrings)

yes, without modern medicine this people with asthma would be dead.
Didn't you know asthma is not new, nor autism.
Carole you forget I worked at a camp as director, which would host
children with autism and other disabilities. (maybe I should mention
I myself have asthma, and seem to get along fine. I suspect carole
doesn't understand what asthma is and the fact there are several
different types of asthma. )

Actually there are and they have been cited here, over and over
again. you refuse to follow the links that's your problem, not mine.
I do not know just where you got the idea there have been no long
term studies, but that claim is totally false.
For instance the tetanus vaccine has been under long term study since
1926. nearly 90 years. The findings in those people which keep their
tetanus vaccine up to date, they didn't get tetanus. Have you ever
seen any with tetanus, carole? It should be a concern to any active
gardener.

Complications of tetanus
Tetanus is a potentially life threatening disease because the
bacteria attacks the neural system which can lead to muscle spasms
resulting in broken bones or torn muscles. Furthermore, tetanus can
lead to airway obstruction, respiratory arrest, heart failure,
pneumonia, fractures, and brain damage.[2] Vaccines help to reduce
the risk of contracting tetanus (and these complications) which is
why it is encouraged to receive the tetanus vaccine and booster
shots.
Effectiveness
Since the discovery and productions of the tetanus vaccines, the
occurrence of tetanus, diphtheria, and pertussis has decreased. Using
US population derived figures, following vaccination, 95% of people
are protected from diphtheria, 80 to 85% of people are protected from
pertussis, and 100% of people are protected from tetanus.[3] Before
the vaccine there was an average of 580 annual cases of tetanus and
472 annual deaths from tetanus. But since the vaccine there is an
average of 41 annual cases of tetanus and 4 annual deaths from
tetanus. This is 93% reduction in occurrence of tetanus and a 99%
reduction in fatalities resulting from tetanus.[3]
The licensing and distribution of these vaccines are monitored by the
Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and United States
Department of Agriculture (USDA) to maintain the safety of these
vaccinations in the United States.[3]

The graphs show the decline in "deaths", not the "incidence" of the
disease. The decline in deaths were due to antibiotics and other
anti-sepsis actions. This is case where your lack of critical
thinking and reading comprehension skills are a serious problem. It
seems you have problems understanding data.

In my case my asthma is a respiratory reaction to a certain type of
wild plant and its pollens and oils. the condition is fully
controlled. There is no cure for the allergen agent even the "shots"
seems to be non-effective over a long range. Will the allergic
reaction go away sooner or later, time will tell. BTW the plant is
listed as mildly toxic to people, but not "contact". I became
sensitized to it after inhaling smoke from a wildfire which burned
several 100 acres covered with this weed/plant.

Try to use evidence and logic carole not a belief system based upon
dogma. There is not hope for you.

you seem to do it well. of course you, carole and your host of socks
could just chatter among yourselves. It is if watching an uninspired
dunham taking to puppets which are no brighter than you are carole.
You see Jeff is a brilliant talents and you are a simpleton know
nothing. In the end your puppets are just dull reflection of a self
confessed idiot.
