Despite a recent measles outbreak in California, a Valley doctor believes children should not get vaccinated and that they should be getting this kind of infection.
"We should be getting measles, mumps, rubella, chicken pox, these are the rights of our children to get it," said Dr. Jack Wolfson of Wolfson Integrative Cardiology in Paradise Valley.
Wolfson does not believe in vaccination. "We do not need to inject chemicals into ourselves and into our children in order to boost our immune system," he said.
The cardiologist also believes the key is to have a healthy immune system. In order to have that, he says, you have to avoid chemicals, get enough sleep, exercise, take good supplements, and have proper nutrition.
"I'm a big fan of what's called paleo-nutrition, so our children eat foods that our ancestors have been eating for millions of years," he said. "That's the best way to protect."
Only Macdonalds keeps for that long.
What food is available that remains unchanged by science or pollution? I didn't have much luck last time I was out hunting Mastadon and Woolly Mammoth.
I agree with the suggestion that we need to get sick from time to time so that our bodies recognize the bacteria/virus and learn to fight it naturally. Mr. Wolfson has the right idea but he is not going to be very popular with the rest of the medical community and he should realize that eating very healthy foods is only affordable when you have a good income. I believe that less than half of the U.S. population can affort to eat that way but I am sure that people living in Paradise Valley can cough up the change.
I fear that our foods today are cancer-causing and even the high priced 'organic' stuff lacks the nutrients because our soils are depleted, even with fertilizer use. Perhaps the next big thing will be a vaccine against the crap which makes up the food we are eating. Now I'm hungry...where did I put that pizza menu?
