>Good-Bye Germ Theory by Dr. William Trebing
"Dr" Trebing appears to be a jobbing chiropractor who believes in
"applied kinesiology" and the activator method , a commercial
diagnostic and treatment system based on the belief that differences
in leg length indicate the need for spinal adjustments.(Please ask
about your health insurance coverage when you arrange your first
visit.)
How likely is it do you think that he really has any idea (other than
financial) about the subject of his book?
I wonder why Jan isn't making a fuss over the Pigfarmer spamming a

And viral, yeast and other infections, cancer, some forms of autoimmune
disease, some forms of eye disease and HIV (1 case with a stem cell
transplant). Greatly improved trauma and emergency care, including
minimizing damage from heart and brain attacks (brain attacks are
strokes). And greatly improved the lives of people with autoimmune
diseases, diabetes, heart attack, stroke and kidney diseases. And
prevented many diseases including diarrhea, heart attacks, stroke, and
infectious diseases, like mumps, measles, rubella, chicken pox, Hib
invasive disease, small pox (no cases last several years), etc.
So, allopaths have done far more than just cure bacterial infections.
How about some evidence that conjecture-based medicine (aka, alternative
medicine, con-med) has done much to help people? Like the millions of
lives saved by vaccines every year?

The con-med industry is a multibillion doolar industry itself. The

Thanks to your lot for worsening conditions for the sick and diseased
that makes it that much more difficult to correct the condition.
Sometimes it has gone on far too long and now is totally irreversible
making it far too costly for even the very wealthy. We should thank you
for the trillions? No, we should damn you.
In 1959, an article in the Journal of the National Chiropractic
Association disagreed with the surgeon general:
"The test tube fight against polio has failed....The death rate has
increased among children who have been vaccinated....There is no vaccine
against fatigue or a traumatic lesion in the anterior cord or motor
cells....In the mild, and especially in the more acute, chiropractic is
supreme. Adjustments of the entire spine will break up the cord
congestion, if given within the 3 days of grace given by Nature.
Chiropractic aids Nature....The fatigue of acute polio can be caused by
other factors, such as whooping cough and smallpox vaccines. The latter
can cause vaccinosyphilis in the pure blood of children."
Encouraged by the leadership of the chiropractic profession,
chiropractors advertised chiropractic adjustments as a method of
treating and preventing polio, recommending "early treatment before it
is too late." A chiropractic organization called We Walk Again
proclaimed that maximum recovery from polio was found only in
chiropractic .
Time and science have proven chiropractors wrong. Today, thanks to the
use of vaccination, polio has been nearly eradicated: "The present rate
of polio is less than one hundredth its lowest level before oral
immunization programs began, and public health officials have predicted
worldwide eradication by the year 2000." Immunization is one of the most
successful public health measures ever put into effect and is
responsible for the control or eradication of such deadly communicable
diseases as smallpox, polio, diphtheria, and whooping cough.

There is no evidence that any bonewaggler has ever cured a single case
of Polio. Your claim seems to be based upon a "survey" in 1946 yet
you are unable to identify this survey, name who carried it out or
produce a copy. The only "source" appears to this one quote from a
discredited naturopath with an apparently fake degree.
>She was right though
I suspect the only thing she was ever right about was the amount in
her bank account.
All I have to do to demonstrate to someone who knows something about

"In any discussion involving science or medicine, citing Whale.to as a

do try harder
"We also hear of the noble work of Father Damien among the lepers of Hawaii,

Hawaiian Islands before the noble work of Jenner reached them. By the
nineties, 10 per cent of the natives were lepers."---Lionel Dole
we all know scopies law but it is a logiocal fallacy dear boy. As stupid
as you could possibly get, and just ad hominem essentially. But that is
what you are reduced to when you have absolutely no argument to refute the
documents on whale.
I agree with Peter Bodwitch. The evidence is so stupid and flimsey and
so poor, that suggesting that the whale.to site is a good source of
evidence is evidence that the person making the claim has very little
knowledge in the fields of science, evidence and medicine.
John may believe otherwise. It's his choice to ignore good science and
support the utter crap on the whale.to site.

No, it is asking for the qualifications of the person making a

mentioned but I doubt it ever existed. Victorian England had many odd
societies such as the anti vaccination league and all relied upon
hectoring pamphlets and letters to promote their cause. Very few were

"In any discussion involving science or medicine, citing Whale.to as a

It is self-explanatory, but for those with no ability to understand
English it means that anyone citing a reference source that is known
to be highly suspect must be suspected of lacking any ability to think
for themselves, and therefore whatever they are saying can be weighted
accordingly and dismissed without further examination.

I didn't say that, but it certainly didn't. Syphilis is a sexually
transmitted disease caused by a spirochete Treponema pallidum.
Treponema pallidum usually cannot survive outside the human body for
more than an hour or two.
Of the following two possible causes which strikes you as being more
likely:-
1. Syphilis was endemic amongst the crews of the first ships to reach
Hawaii. The first thing sailors looked for when they landed was
female companionship. Syphilis is a sexual transmitted disease. The
natives caught Syphilis from the sailors.
2. Syphilis was never passed on by visiting sailors who were all
aware of their diseases and pious god fearing men who would not dream
of touching a native female out of wedlock. All syphilis in Hawaii
arrived in vaccines protected from perishing in some unknown,
untested, undiscovered and unrepeatable way.

If it did it might be. However, it doesn't. Nor does quoting
pamphlets from the defunct anti vaccination league which ended it's
days as one person in a flat in Lebanon Road in Croydon,Surrey (for
the Americans, not a dreadfully distinguished neighbourhood) having
morphed into the Howey Foundation [against vaccination] Ltd.
Rather amusingly the educationally challenged team at "Jabs" quote
one Gary Krasner as thinking the Anti-vaccination League is impartial.
"A report on Vaccination and Immunization, published by The Howey
Foundation, Surrey, England (which takes an impartial look at all
vaccination procedures) stated flatly: "It is now accepted that
paralytic poliomyelitis was precipitated by diphtheria vaccines and
tonsillectomies"
(Medical Myths Die Hard -Part I By Gary Krasner (09/22/06))
Such is the quality of references you have to use.
Similarly monographs by employees of said League from well over a
century ago are now amusing social artifacts but hardly objective
proof of anything.
You really should understand that it is only Homeopathy and its ilk
which are preserved in Aspic from the 1800's. Everyone else has
carried on learning. I don't know of a single doctor who relies upon
medical textbooks from the century before last to make treatment
decisions yet homeopaths, bonewagglers and similar use them every
day.
How likely is it do you think that you would have made such a comment
without first reading it for yourself?
That's the logical fallacy right there.
"A logical fallacy is an element of an argument that is flawed,
essentially rendering the line of reasoning, if not the entire
argument, invalid." [www.essay-writing.suite101.com]
You say a "reference source known to be highly suspect..." suggesting
there is consensus that such is the case, when in fact there is no
such consensus. Now, if you were to cite your OWN source, an external
reference to John's website that agrees with you, but you cannot do
that, because it doesn't exist. And since whale contains thousands of
articles, most of which I am quite certain you've never read, you are
being a lazy ass (as usual) in dismissing the entire website.

A dim bulb that still _projects_
sometimes, everybody is wrong.
I personally don't rely on these historical quotes to know that
vaccine is a speculative (at best) medical intervention. The fact
that vaccine was responsible for 3.5%, at most, of the decline in
disease-related mortality during most of the last century (ref.
"Public Health at the Crossroads," by R. Beaglehole and R Bonita, pg
43] means that the vast improvement in the severity of infectious
disease response occurred *without* vaccine. Remember, most vaccines
were not available during most of the 20th century. No one can say
with any certainty whatsoever whether vaccine was responsible for even
1% of such declines. And, in the absence of properly done RCT studies
on adequate populations for sufficient periods of time, we also don't
know much at all about vaccine safety. I don't suppose you would like
to cite any data that would contradict any of this?
sometimes, everybody is wrong.

There is ample evidence to the contrary, you should read more widely.
Your single quotation, from one page of one of the many books by B&B
you use as a reference, has been taken out of context by a number of
anti-vaccination groups and I note you have also both misquoted and
misused it. What they wrote was -
"Various explanations have been advanced for the decline in mortality
rates. which gathered speed in nineteenth century Europe. McKeown
proposed that steady improvements in nutrition beginning in the
eighteenth century, together with improvements in water supply and
sanitation, an increase in the general standard of living following
[he Industrial Revolution, and a reduction in birth rates propelled
the health transition. The development of effective medical measures
was too late to make a major contribution to the mortality decline in
Europe and other western countries. For example, it has been estimated
that, at most, only 3.5% of the total decline in mortality in the
United States of America between 1900 and 1973 could be ascribed to
medical measures introduced for the major infectious diseases. On the
other hand, targeted public health Interventions including
vaccination, personal hygiene campaigns, and improved child health
care services, were of major importance....
The more recent decline in mortality in poorer countries has some
parallels with nineteenth-century Europe. For example, the dramatic
gains in China in the last four decades were associated with major
improvements in food supply {despite occasional devastating famines)
as well as public health campaigns directed at the control of
infectious diseases; literacy, especially for females, has also been
of major importance.
The most recent declines in mortality however, have been influenced
greatly by public health and medical care advances. For example,
smallpox, a major scourge of humankind for centuries, has been
eradicated, "
In the late 1800's there were a number of major killers accounting for
many deaths, particularly in infants. Poor nutrition, squalid
conditions and in particular poor water were major factors. In 1831
31,000 people in the UK died of Cholera, Typhus regularly killed
16,000 per year (double that in hot dry summer years). in 1840 50,000
succumbed to measles and whooping cough. No one doubts that prior to
the start of the second world war social and public health
improvements were by far the greatest influence on the well being of
the population. The work of civil engineers such as Bazalgette had a
far greater impact than any other measure.
By the end of WW2 however the civil engineering aspects of disease
mitigation were reaching the end of the road in the west and poor
housing and nutrition were no longer significant in many western
countries. In the UK wartime rationing had led to one of the best fed
populations ever but diseases such as Polio, measles, whooping cough
and mumps remained common and were not going to be reduced
significantly by social or public health measures. The major decline
in mortality in the west caused by social and economic influences upon
health and disease took place before 1930, after that time measures
such as vaccination had a far more profound effect.
The very valid point Beaglehole and Bonita make of course is that
there are still many parts of the world where social and public health
measures have the potential to improve life often at relatively small
cost. They do not, and never have, proposed that medical improvements
were either insignificant or unnecessary, you should read the whole
book.
>Remember, most vaccines
>were not available during most of the 20th century.
I'm not sure where you get that idea from but it is wrong,
>No one can say with any certainty whatsoever whether vaccine was responsible for even
>1% of such declines.
Your figure is meaningless. No one questions that massive
improvements in public health were made prior to the 1930's by social
and public health measures. No one doubts that in that time the
effect of public health improvement dwarfed that of medical advances.
However, beyond that time the picture changes dramatically.
For example in Rabies the death rate without vaccination is as near as
makes no difference 100%. With vaccination given pre-exposure and
immediately after suspected exposure it is nearly zero. There is no
other effective treatment.
The number of Hib meningitis cases in children under 5 years in the
USA was fairly steady at about 20 per 100,000 from 1980 until 1988
when Hib conjugate vaccine was introduced. By 1991 it had dropped to
about 3 cases per 100,000. During that time period there was no
significant alteration in standards of living or social health.
In the Gambia the rate of Hib meningitis in children prior to 1992
when the first vaccination against it started had been fairly constant
for decades at about 220 cases per 100,000. By 1998 it was about 5
per 100,000. In the same time there were no significant social
changes.
Polio affected 350,000 children worldwide in 1980, by 2006 that was
down to 800 because of vaccination. Since then it has increased again
and in 2008 was 1,655 because the mad mullahs of northern Nigeria say
that Polio vaccination is a plot by the USA to spread Aids and
infertility and are killing public health officials involved in
administering it. I wonder if any read Whale?

Go to your medical library, and ask to see the United States Polio

They will be listed as "missing".
Every single medical library in USA, that someone checked out for me,
and New Zealand (and possible other countries) has them listed as "missing".
There is only one place you can see them, as far as I know, and that is
in the AMA library, and they are listed as having top security clearance
requirements to see, according to someone who tried to access them.
Why might this be? When he was alive, Dr Ratner had copies of them at
his home. He gave me many of the years' data I wanted. They clearly showed
that from the inception of the SALK vaccine, to it's discontinuation, the
vaccine had MINUS efficacy and was actually causing more polio in the
vaccinated than in the unvaccinated.
Any studious person looking at Government stats in retrospect, would be
able to easily see that the polical and media canonization of SALK and his
vaccine was a mirage of duplicity upon duplicity.------Hilary Butler -[2009

No, someone with no education in the field, no experience and no

studies and whose motto appears to be "my mind is made up - do not
confuse me with evidence". Yet again all you can put up to support
your spurious claims is another scientifically illiterate "activist".
Moreover, one with an established penchant for making less than honest
claims such as saying she was told by a leading physician he had cured
his cancer with vitamin C when no such statement had been made.
So far you have produced pamphlets from a Victorian society over a
hundred years ago and two random quotations from two utterly
unqualified noise makers.
Is this the best evidence you can produce?

Those are mostly from the 1870's, one from 1799. I think you will
find science has moved on a bit since then.
It's called history, and smallpox vax started around 1790's, and we all know
why you want to forget the first 100 years of that
that is ad hominem. And you have never proven any dishonesty, while we
document vast evidence your industry is built on it.

He is hardly a lone voice where that particular individual is
concerned. Her writings are so replete with blatant errors that they
have been widely ridiculed. Incidentally, as you seem attached to
the phrase "Ad Hominem", what you have said above _is_ an example of
such, as are many other comments you make. A personal or Ad Hominem
attack is committed when a person substitutes abusive remarks for
evidence when attacking another person's claim or claims. This line of
"reasoning" is fallacious because the attack is directed at the person
making the claim and not the claim itself.
You cannot attack what Morgan said because it is obviously and
provably correct, so you attack the individual instead. Unfortunately
this trait is all too common amongst the anti-vaccination community.
>while
>your only evidence against Butler is slagging off her alleged lack of brains
Where did I say that? You should at least attempt to read what was
said. What I criticised was her complete lack of professional
qualifications, education, training and experience. She produces
facile journalistic sound bites but no science. As with Scheibner
what she produces is riddled with error. Her various conspiracy
theories would, I assume, appeal to you but to most they are becoming
increasingly ridiculous.
>while the evidence on Whale is such that you woo brains have to invent a

There is no error of reasoning in Scopies Law. As for evidence on the
site it refers to would that be the evidence of extra-terrestrials, of
mind control via mobile phone or of "chemtrails"? Would it be the
"evidence" of Orgonite, the design of the "Holy Hand Grenade". Is it
the "evidence" that mobile phone base stations are for destroying the
atmosphere, making everyone sick and targeting individuals in
conjunction with GPS? Is it the claim that "Nutritional medicine
could replace over 98% of Allopathic medicine and cure most diseases
without any side effects like death and autism."
That your site is fascinating in a sort of gothic horror way is
undeniable, that it is a source of knowledge or science is unlikely.
On the other hand, that any lawyer would be so desperate as to quote
it in a court in support of their argument would also appear to be
rather improbable, but apparently that happened in the USA even if
they did lose their case.
There are many parts of early medical history which are now
sufficiently outlandish as to have no relevance to modern medicine.
Surgery in the 1800's bears little relevance to the same skill today.
The same is true of most human endeavours.
The historical perspective is interesting of course in that it shows
how learning can develop and in particular how the scientific method
initially developed by Alhazen, Bacon and Descartes can bring about
progress.
History can inform such as when you compare the progress of
conventional medicine with its continuous learning and improvement to
that of the likes of Homeopathy where unproven ideas from the late
1700's which should long ago have been consigned to the dustbin of
history hang on being followed blindly in a quasi religious fashion
rather than evolving.

Absolute bollocks. Go ahead and prove it. And talk about hyprocacy, after
you just slagged off Scheibner and Butler, but we get to expect that in
vaccine zealots. From memory Morgan did a textbook page on ad hominem re
Scheibner and the rest

Basic ad hominem, whatever her qualifications they bear no relation to what
she actually says, quite apart from the fact she has more brains than most
of you lot put together as any perusal of her work will show anyone

Like I said, expose what she has said and produce it, we can all say stuff
like that but prove it.
Conspiracy theory is just a buzz phrase, basic ad hominem word game

Simple logical fallacy, even if I believed in little green men living in my
attaic, it bears no relationship to the medical information, but that is
your main argument. As for nutritional med replacing allopathic--simple
really as any inquiring unbiased mind can see

There is nothing to avoid. Why are you so concerned about events in
the late 1800's? Had you had your appendix out in those days you
would probably have died. Should this be a cause of concern for
someone facing an appendectomy today? I can understand Homeopaths
being concerned because they still work from a textbook written in the
early 1800's but no one else does.
>This is 1918 http://www.whale.to/vaccines/smallpox7.html so you can imagine

That is because it was. It has become far more successful since then.
You need to understand that a science is a continuous process of
improvement and learning.
>and allopaths still claim an 18% death rate when Sydenham had a 2% rate in
>1600's, what does that tell you about your scientific method bullshit?
It tells me one should not rely upon partial records from 1600. Just
how complete and accurate do you think a document from 1600 is likely
to be?
>and Semmelweis found out the true story of medical method

But eventually accepted after Pasteur, 15 years later confirmed the
germ theory. Science is not necessarily a straight track with no
bumps but it is the only way of achieving real progress.
>just like the vitamin C cure for infections, 59 years now, so save us the
>religuius medical method bullshit
Which vitamin C cure for infections is this?

Even assuming this is true it is completely meaningless out of
context. Which letter? Where can it be found? What was it
discussing? Who is Dr A Ward? There is no Dr Ward listed at the
Pathology Dept at Hong Kong University, there appears to be no
textbook on immunology written by an A Ward.
We know Kalokerinos is someone who believes vaccination is a
deliberate process of genocide carried out under the auspices of the
World Health Organization and the Save the Children Fund.who, he
thinks, "put Hitler and Stalin in the shade" when it came to
deliberate and intentional mass killings. He bases his claims on the
idea that needles are reused (they are generally not) in order to
deliberately spread AIDS. Forty odd years ago he also successfully
diagnosed and treated vitamin C deficiency in Australian aboriginal
children whose "natural" diet wasn't providing sufficient.
Once again your infatuation with attacking people rather than
addressing the science is letting you down.

I presume that for you "obvious conflict of interest" means anyone who
disagrees with you? You don't have to have any conflict of interest -
simply look it up yourself. The facts peak for themselves.
For example she states "there is no evidence whatsoever that vaccines
of any kind - but especially those against childhood diseases - are
effective in preventing the infectious diseases they are supposed to
prevent"
Talking of Pertussis vaccine she then quotes two studies from the
Faero Islands which found In both epidemics six patients of the 3,926
vaccinated died and 26 among the 1,073 unvaccinated cases died.
These figures clearly show vaccination to be effective so Scheibner
gets around this by claiming "So the vaccine seemed to provide some
degree of protection; however, the numbers of vaccinated and
unvaccinated are so different that any comparison is scientifically
invalid"
Now this statement is not merely nonsense (the sample sizes are more
than adequate and the difference between the populations is highly
significant, with a p value of <0.0001) it is actually well within her
knowledge and training as a Paleontologist. She either knew she was
making a basic error or chose to misrepresent data.
Similarly she tries to dismiss the clear effect shown in the
Whooping-cough Immunisation data from the UK in 1946-50 by claiming
the control group wasn't a proper control. She excluded mention that
in that trial report the control group infection rates were compared
with the general population and found to be similar thus defeating her
objection.
This and more is documented in Dr Bassers review of some of her work
at http://www.ratbags.com/rsoles/comment/immunise.htm
Feel free to point out where he is wrong in his assessment of
Scheibner. The most damning indictment is of course not that she errs
in matters outside her competence but that she has been found to
manipulate data she should be able to understand to produce
conclusions she must know full well are false.

Nope. Not possible. Offit is so knowledgeable, competent and
