“Don’t let the world around you squeeze you into its own mould, but let God re-mould your minds from within...”

Hilary Butler - Wednesday, November 25, 2009
What’s the difference between climate change and the provaccine zealots ? Nothing. As many of you will have noticed the climate change people have their tits in a tangle. Some charmer hacked into a data base and uploaded emails sent hither and yon. Naturally, the blistering attacks on the “climate change deniers” were the bits that were talked about most. If you want to read the best dis...

Unskeptical skeptics

Hilary Butler - Friday, November 20, 2009
Over the last few years, there has been an unprecedented attack on anything loosely described as “alternative” medicine, by those who call themselves skeptics. A recent event amused me. An acquaintance of mine, who in the same breath says he’s a greenie who believes in science, also revealed he had cancer. He props up the pharma companies handsomely, but he can afford to. Taking him at his w...

Bodily Matters

Hilary Butler - Sunday, August 30, 2009
"Bodily Matters” by Nadja Burbach. First, a background to my review: 20 years ago, my then GP, whose thesis was on smallpox, expressed surprise that I could have accepted without investigation, the medical dogma which stated that the smallpox vaccine saved the world from much misery, and vanquished Smallpox. Like most people today, I’d absorbed the “stories” from school and thought no further...

Mandatory Vaccination

Hilary Butler - Wednesday, June 10, 2009
Making vaccines compulsory, isn't something you hear much about in New Zealand media, BUT... if we aren't careful, mandatory vaccination will become law in this country. While those who tweak the strings around the wrists of politicians have kept very quiet in public, in private, there have been, and are, far more intense discussions going on about making vaccines mandatory, than ever before. H...

Swinish Shock Doctrine: Part Two

Hilary Butler - Monday, May 04, 2009
Everywhere we look, we see nothing but pictures of coloured surgical masks as if these have some paranormal ability to “protect” the wearer. These, we presume, work. Right? After all, they are part of the “national plan” to stop the spread of flu viruses right? We’ve been told that the two main means of infection are contact: as in shake someone’s hand, put hand in mouth; picking up droplets fr...

Swinish Shock Doctrine: Part One

Hilary Butler - Sunday, May 03, 2009
Two weeks ago, when CDC, po-faced told us, that this “new” virus, never seen before in pigs…, was a combo of Eurasian/America swine flu/avian/human viruses, you believed them, right? Now, they are back tracking, saying, “No no,no.. only pig. Not human or bird.” Shhh….. What changed their minds between the first time they checked the genetics and two days ago? I don’t see anyone in the media q...

Trotman eats toe jam, yet again

Hilary Butler - Thursday, April 16, 2009
The Sunday Star Times has a magazine called Escape in which their regular medical columnist, Dr Paul Trotman, pontificates on a diverse range of medical issues. He is known for his vigorous denouncement of anything thought to originate from, or be, “anti-vaccine”. His latest contribution however, is remarkable for the utter stupidity of opening the mouth prior to opening the brain. Apparently, ...

Mercky Maths

Hilary Butler - Sunday, April 05, 2009
We are told that Gardasil will result in a 70% reduction of cervical cancer smears, because HPV 16 and 18 make up 70% of all abnormal smears. Right? Bollocks! Where is the proof? I’ve spent the day looking everywhere for the as usual unreferenced study detailed at IMAC (scroll down quite a way) which apparently, is the only study which has been done on oncogenic HPV smears in this country. It’s...

"One Less" selective thinking

Hilary Butler - Saturday, February 28, 2009
In the Escape section of Sunday Star Times, March 1, 2009, journalist Karen Tay, who admits to viewing beauty and skincare products as sacred miracle potions, was researching their true cost to her body, and the environment. “While researching this story, I learnt many unpleasant truths about my beauty products…” She discovered that some cosmetics claiming to be natural were not necessarily so...

Pinnochio's nose and Peter Flegg

Hilary Butler - Saturday, November 29, 2008
As the UK medical gestapo proclaim 1,000 measles cases a national disaster, and go after parents who have refused to vaccinate their children against measles, there is an interesting "discussion" at the BMJ website. Peter Flegg, an infectious disease specialist has made some extraordinary claims. That's nothing new. He's done that at the BMJ for years. For those who want are keenly following th...

Big Brother to police hospital handwashing?

Hilary Butler - Monday, November 24, 2008
Dr Robert Wachter runs a blog which is well worth adding to your regular reading list. His Bio shows that he’s well qualified to talk about many things, and does so with a degree of candidness you don’t see in this country. A recent blog which interested me was the possibility of putting cameras into hospitals to try to raise the inadequate hand washing amongst staff. It would appear that since...

1 of 5 Whose world is in your head?

Hilary Butler - Saturday, November 08, 2008
Have you ever been told by a medical professional looking at your five week old baby, that you can’t take you baby out into that big bad world until the first shots have been given, because otherwise your child might die? A new 2008 comment is the admonition that Prevnar is vital, because “it’s such a serious disease.” So serious, that, as page 16 of this powerpoint shows,  “Only a Handful of...

Mothers overcome fear with natural prozac

Hilary Butler - Monday, October 13, 2008
"Ah yes. Strange title. In fact, Hilary, you have altered it somewhat...." That I have.  This stunner of an article in the Herald from Reuters had me shaking my head. We shouldn't be talking about mice: lets talk about mothers! The article says: "Mice forced to swim endlessly until they surrendered and just floated, waiting to drown, could be conditioned to regain their will to live when a ton...

Film Review - "Orgasmic Birth"

Hilary Butler - Thursday, October 09, 2008
“Orgasmic Birth” is an awesome film, in the true sense of the word, talking to the deepest needs of women, at the gut, emotional, and intellectual level. In one sense, words fail me. The film follows home birthing parents growing and being reborn as different people, fulfilling their full potential of parenthood, and in particular womanhood. Interwoven are scenes of emotionally...

More taxpayer-funded Gardasil propaganda

Hilary Butler - Friday, September 05, 2008
I sit here looking at the latest Ministry of Health HE2013 taxpayer funded propaganda for the "Cervical cancer Vaccine", Gardasil.  It's a 21 board-page 'quick flipchart', which tells you nothing more than the two websites mentioned in the last blog. Being information for Health Professionals and young women (which makes you think that they are treating young women with as much respect as ...

Gardasil lies, damned lies and more omissions

Hilary Butler - Tuesday, September 02, 2008
The e-mails and phone calls have finally stopped.  Thank you everyone.  If interpretations are true, the performance on TV last night, of teenage giggling and Nikki Turner's elation at the introduction of Gardasil in New Zealand was a very happy clappy occasion. Perhaps. However, I had already checked out the two new websites: one put together at Nikki Turner's request by non-questioning AUT st...

"Winning words"

Hilary Butler - Sunday, August 31, 2008
Today's Sunday Star Times, has a letter penned by Paul Rutherford, Karori, Wellington. It's tragic that Rutherford (hopefully) "believes" the words he actually penned; sobbingly sad that the Sunday Star Times printed them at all, and indicative of the appalling state of knowledge in the media today, when editors and journalists at the Sunday Star Times, can't see how off the mark the letter was...

The Gardasil 'miracle' coming undone?

Hilary Butler - Saturday, August 30, 2008
Dr Renate Klein, a biologist and social scientist, has written an opinion piece on Gardasil, which is spot on. So that's my blog for today. Go and read what she thinks. Oh.. and you should read the forum as well. Fascinating.  Sort of.

Point of Difference

Hilary Butler - Saturday, August 23, 2008
Funny how “debate” about the MENZB vaccine, becomes acceptable to the Herald, when it comes from the mouths of IMAC, rather than “anti-immunisation extremists”. But here’s the puzzle. The so-called “anti-immunisation extremists” sounding off in 2004 was primarily pro vaccine Ron Law, whose primary quibble was the hiding of just this sort of information. Funny too. He provided that information t...
