Hello friends!
This is only my second posting so you don't know much about me - but
after reading about all the info. on vaccines - I just had to share. I
am 49 years old. I have been married for 31 years and have to wonderful
sons (ages 29 and 21) and a 14 month old grandson who's the joy of my
life!
I worked for an orthodontist for 10 years. I began working for him when
he first opened up his practice and I was the bookkeeper, receptionist
and dental assistant for a while until the practice began to grow. We
eventually had 2 offices and 10 staff members and over 1,000 patients.
In March, 1984, all the journals were recommending all health and
dental staff get a Hepatitis B vaccine, so doctor had me set up the
appointments for all the staff to receive the vaccine. Doctor and 2
staff members were the first to receive the shot. Within two weeks
Doctor became very ill with the "flu" and 10 days later he died. He was
42 yrs. old. They determined the death to be caused by Tuberculosis
Encephalitis, they said he must have had a dormant TB lesion in the
brain that became activated by the "flu" and killed him. Interesting no
one else on the staff or in his family had any type of "flu". No one
would listen when I repeatedly tried to get someone to look into the
Hepatitis vaccine. Needless to say, I did not have any other staff
members take the vaccine and to this day would not even consider having
one of my family members get it. The second factor in his death that I
wondered about was shortly after his death they disclosed the huge
outbreak of Epstine-Barre in the Lake Tahoe area. Dr. and his family
went skiing at Lake Tahoe frequently during those last few months of his
life. Have any of you ever had any connections with Epstine Barre or
Chronic Fatigue? The year following his death was the most difficult
year of my life - I had to coordinate treatment for those 1,000 patients
meet with attorneys, accountants, prospective buyers, in addition to
assuring patients, families and staff that what the doctor died of was
not "contagious" and that they'd all be taken care of. I worked 7 days
a week and it was a very stressful time, but at the end of one year
everything was done and transitions were made and I decided I wanted to
move on so in March of 1985 I began working in a CPA's office - no
stress there - March & April in a CPA's office is a piece of cake -
LOL. On May 21, 1985, after work I began experiencing pain in my lower
back. By morning I had my husband take me to the hospital and I walked
into the emergency room and two hours later was completely paralyzed
from T5 down. I had not been sick, not had any immunizations or any
other complication, other than the stress. (I did have a hysterectomy
in Nov. 1984 - six months before my TM onset). But I've been blessed
and I keep keeping on. I am not a weak person by any means, but I
cannot imagine living with TM without the strength of the Lord - who
gives a peace that passes all human understanding and there are some
people in this world, like our tormented friend, Martin, whom I'm afraid
will never know that inner peace. I believe some people chose to live
their lives in the middle of the dark whirling storm rather than come
out and feel the warmth and glow that living in the Son shine can
bring. Your God may be dead - but mine sure isn't!
Sincerely,
Claudia
